Dear R-Devel, As I am sure many of you know, a special issue of The American Statistician just came out, and its theme is the [mis]use of P values and the many common ways in which they are abused. The lead editorial in that issue mentions the 2014 ASA guidelines on P values, and goes one step further, by now recommending that the words "statistically significant" and related simplistic

I read through the editorial. This is the one of the most mega-ultra-super-biased articles I've ever read. e.g. The authors encourage Baysian methods, and literally encourage subjective approaches. However, there's only one reference to robust methods and one reference to nonparametric methods, both of which are labelled as purely exploratory methods, which I regard as extremely

OK. I give up. I'll ask a stupid question. How do I get the $!#@*$ signif stars line printed by summaries to not look extremely bizarre in the latex produced by Sweave? For example, see p. 7 of http://www.stat.umn.edu/geyer/aster/library/aster/doc/tutor.pdf I can see what the problem is. R emits non-ascii characters (as it is supposed to do), Sweave puts them in the tex file, and

printCoefmat(signif.legend =FALSE) does not work properly. The option "signif.legend = FALSE" is ignored as shown in the example below. cmat <- cbind(rnorm(3, 10), sqrt(rchisq(3, 12))) cmat <- cbind(cmat, cmat[,1]/cmat[,2]) cmat <- cbind(cmat, 2*pnorm(-cmat[,3])) colnames(cmat) <- c("Estimate", "Std.Err", "Z value", "Pr(>z)") #

Hi I don't know if you can help. I am a 2nd year Bsc Cosmetic Science student and in R I need some help in drawing stars. The problem that I have is I want to recreate a radar diagram similar to the one in excel. I have put in these commands in a script window: stars(shampoo1[, 1:6], locations = c(0,0), radius = TRUE, key.loc=c(0,0), main = "Ranked Results for the Sensory

Hi! I have a dataset with three columns -the first two refer to x and y coordinates, the last one are odds ratios. I'd like to plot the data with x and y coordinates and the odds ratio shown as a fourfold plot, which I prefer to do using the stars function. Unfortunately the stars option in symbols is not as cool as the stars function on its own, and now i can't figure out how to do it!

Dear listers, The following command (derived from the example in the ?stars help page) works : data(mtcars) stars(mtcars[, 1:7]) But the following gives an error: stars(mtcars[1, 1:7]) Error in s.y[i, ] : incorrect number of dimensions I was expecting to have the star graph for the first line (Mazda Rx4) The following give an incorrect graph for the first two cars : stars(mtcars[1:2, 1:7])

I have been making some segment plots with five variables. They work great, especially when I used a different scale function, which scaled them by area of the circle rather than radius scale <- function(x, Mr = 1 , Mx = 100) { ((x/Mx)^.5)*Mr} Where x is the the value, Mr is the Maximum radius, and Mx is the maximum data value. You could change the exponent .5 to .57 if you wanted Flannery

R 1.4.0 ?stars has scale: logical flag: if `TRUE', the columns of the data matrix are scaled independently so that the maximum value in each column is 1 and the minimum is 0. If `FALSE', the presumption is that the data have been scaled by some other algorithm to the range [0,1]. but the code has if (scale) { x <- sweep(x, 2,

Dear Rdev, in R 2.9.0 the doc of function stars() does not state that it returns invisibly the location of atomic graphs. This is a valuable information as it may help to set a value for the key.loc parameter of this function. My whish is just that the "value" section in stars.Rd should be documented. Best, Pr. Jean R. Lobry BTW, the URL:,

Hi there Rers I am trying a very basic stars plot: x<-matrix(c(1,4,3,1.1,2,3,4,3,1,1,5,2), ncol = 3, byrow = TRUE, >> dimnames=list(c("a","b","c","d"),c("x","y","z"))) > > stars(x, draw.segments = TRUE, radius=TRUE) > > Can anyone explain what I am seeing there - EACH of my plots should have 3 coloured

Dear R experts, I am posting this question on behalf of a Japanese R user who wants to know how to change the siginificant codes default. As you know, R's default significant codes are: Signif. codes: 0 `***' 0.001 `**' 0.01 `*' 0.05 `.' 0.1 ` ' 1 But he says that it is usual in economics to give codes such as `***' for 0.01, `**' for 0.05 and `*' for

I think your idea to remove the warnings is excellent, and a good compromise. Characters already work fine in modeling functions except for the silly warning. It is interesting how often the defaults for a program reflect the data sets in use at the time the defaults were chosen. There are some such in my own survival package whose proper value is no longer as "obvious" as it was

Hi all, Please let me know if this isn't the correct place to report bugs in contributed code. Otherwise, the following code contains one additional line and a short comment above it. The extra line of code catches the unusual situation where a data column contains all 0 values. The corrected code is below the signature. Thanks for your help. Tom Thomas S. Dye, Ph.D.

While playing Stars! wine sometimes kills the X-Server. This happend infrequently in all Versions of wine I tried, but this time I managed to generate a bugreport. I use wine with managed windows, this seems to be the most stable setting for Stars. To start wine I used wine -debugmsg +relay -language De_DE -- stars\!.exe -s -m >& ~/`date +winedebug_%Y%m%d.txt` | wolfgang@erwin:~>
