Hello, when I convert a factor like this a=01.10.2009 into a date using b=strptime(a, format="%d. %m. %Y"). It works very well.

Hello, I took my first steps in dynamic reports with Gnu R and used sweave(). I therefore run Sweave() with an example of Friedrich Leisch, starting like this: \ documentclass [ a4paper ]{ article } \ title { Sweave Example 1} \ author { Friedrich Leisch } \ begin { document } \ maketitle and so on. It worked very well but when I tried to compile the latex file I get this error message: !

Hello, I did some nice grafics using plot 3d and scatter3d. Is there a, hopefully not too complicated way, to transform these dynamic, three-dimensional and interactive grafics in a kind of executable file?

Definitely yes I just tried a one line latex document and it bombed with \begin{ document } but is fine with \begin{document} . I think the spaces within the {} must all be removed.

At the moment I only know how to do that in Excel, by subtracting the value of time 1, point 1 from all other times

Hello! I want to calculate simultaneous confidence intervals for a nominal variable with three categories: "yes", "no", "partially" and I expect that far more than 5 samples fall into each category.
