Hi list, Is there a R function I can use to extract the worksheet names from an Excel file?? If no, any other automatic ways (not using R) to do this? thanks! ...Tao

Hi list, I was trying to use "predict.coxph" to calculate martingale residuals on a test data, however, as pointed out before http://tolstoy.newcastle.edu.au/R/e4/help/08/06/13508.html predict(mycox1, newdata, type="expected") is not implemented yet. Dieter suggested to use 'cph' and 'predict.Design', but from my reading so far, I'm not sure they can

Hi list, I was running Sweave on one of my .rnw file.? Everything was fine, until I came back from the vacation.? Nothing changed (at least to my knowledge), but now I have this problem: >???? Sweave("myfile.rnw") Error: ?COLO001final.rnw? is not ASCII and does not declare an encoding After snooping around on the web, I found this solution: > Sweave("myfile.rnw",

Hi list, Is there a way in "rpart" to force the variables only used once when doing the splits? This is how the question came about. Often time, the tree constructed uses the same variable (say X1) for the first and second splits, for example. However, due to practical reason, the researcher doesn't like this. The prefer to see the second split using other variables (say X2).

Hi list, Is there a function that can let me know which functions are being debugged? I know I'm probably not doing a very good job of keeping track of things, but it does get messier when you dig into different layers of a function. I know there is "isdebugged", but it only works on one function at a time. Thanks! ...Tao [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Hi list, Is there already a function somewhere to output the confusion matrix from two input vectors? "table" always automatically delete rows or columns with all 0's. For example, I would like the columns for "10" and "30" added back. Thanks! ...Tao 20 40 50 60 70 80 90 100 10 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 0 20 1 2 0 4 0 0 0 1 30 0 0

Hi Allen and list, See the code below.? I've tried it on R2.13 and R2.8.0 using either heatmap.plus 1.3 or the latest.? All gave the same results.? The problem is in the last line: when I tried to plot two different color bars, the one corresponding to "cm.colors(10)" is not correct (it starts with one black and one red.? Not sure where they're from?) Any ideas? Thanks!

Hi list, Is there a easy way to compare objects in two different workspace files (i.e. .RData files) in R?? I can use some generic file compare softwares (e.g. BeyondCompare) to binary comparison, but when it says they're different you can't tell where the difference are from. Thanks! Tao

Is it possible to replace the word "R Console" on the title bar (is it what it's called? It's the blue area above menu bar) with the name of the work space file you're using or loaded, so people who are runing multple R sessions at same time can identify them immediately. I'm using 1.9.0 in SDI mode. Thanks, ...Tao

Hi list, Excuse me b/c this is probably a more "TeX" then "R" question. I've been using "latex" function in my .Rnw file to generate tables, but I've always been using it without assigning the result to a object, i.e. x <- matrix(1:6, nrow=2, dimnames=list(c('a','b'),c('c','d','this that'))) latex(x) so, I

In the following snippet plot(1:10,1:10,type="n") points(1:5,1:5,pch="+") points(6:10,6:10,pch=20) legend(5,5, c("A","B"), pch=c("+",20)) I want to get a legend with a "+" and a solid circle (pch=20). However, what I get in the legend is "+" and "2". How can I get a "+" and a solid circle? thanks, Steve

Hi List, In Windows, if I do " R CMD build mypkg", then I'll get 'mypkg_1.0.tar.gz'. Any option in R CMD build lets me to change the version, i.e. gives me 'mypkg_2.0.tar.gz"? It seems "-version" option doesn't do anything for me. Is it OK if I just change the version number in the file name manually? Thanks, ...Tao
