Hi All, I have some data I need to write as a file from R to use in a different program. My data comes as a numeric matrix of n rows and 2 colums, I need to transform each row as a two rows 1 col output, and separate the output of each row with a blanck line. Foe instance I need to go from this: V2 V3 27 2032567 19 28 2035482 19 126 2472826 19 132 2473320 19 136 2035480 135

Hi All, I'd like to ask for a few clarifications. I am doing some calculations over some biggish datasets. One has ~ 23000 rows, and 6 columns, the other has ~620000 rows and 6 columns. I am using these datasets to perform a simulation of of haplotype coalescence over a pedigree (the datestes themselves are pedigree information). I created a new dataset (same number of rows as the pedigree

Hi All, I have a vector of data, a vector of bin breakpoints and I want to put my data in the bins and then extract fanciful informations like the mean value of each bin. I know I can write my own function, but I would have thought that R should have somewhere a function that took as arguments something like (data, breaks, what to do with the data in the bins). I surey could not find it

Dear all, I have 5 plots that I would like to include in a single figure, spread over two rows. If I use mfrow=c(2,3), and produce my plots one after the other, I will end up with three plots in the first row, and 2 in the second row, which is what I want. However, I would like the two plots in the second row to be moved to the centre of that row, rather than occupying the two left-most cells.

HI All, I have written and succesfully uploaded a new package. The licence it is under is 'GPL' --no version. My assumption is, since all the code is written in R the licence R used for R would affect the code (hence my "GPL" stands for "whatever version of the GPL R is under") I am happy with the licencing I used, but I'd like to ask if there is any transitive

Hi All, I have a list of matrices: > x [,1] [,2] [1,] 1 4 [2,] 2 5 [3,] 3 6 > y [,1] [,2] [,3] [,4] [,5] [,6] [1,] 18 21 24 27 30 33 [2,] 19 22 25 28 31 34 [3,] 20 23 26 29 32 35 > z =list(x,y) I want to create a second list that is has a subset each matrix in the list subsetting so I get the 2nd and 3rd row of each (and

Hi All, I am counting the number of occurrences of the terms listed in one vector in another vector. My code runs: for( i in 1:length(vector3)){ vector3[i] = sum(1*is.element(vector2, vector1[i])) } where vector1 = vector containing the terms whose occurrences I want to count vector2 = made up of a number of repetitions of all the elements of vector1 vector3 = a vector of NAs that is

Dear All, I saved by mistake the environment I was working in after typing q(), and now I get the annoying message: [Previously saved workspace restored] I have already deleted all the objects in the environment, saving it as an empty environment, so it's just a matter of nitpicking I suppose. The message does not appear if I start R from any other place in the directory tree. I am

Hi All, I would like to output the results of a function into a text file, legible as a such. The function produces a summary quite like: summary(lm(x ~ y + w * z)) [for instance] and I am not clear how to save this summary into a text file 'automagically', because I need to be able to do it in a for() loop.

Dear All, just a quick example: > x = 1:25 > x[12] = NA > x [1] 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 NA 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 > y = x[x<10] > y [1] 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 NA Is there any way of NOT getting NA for y = x[x<10]? Similarly > y = x[x<15] > y [1] 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 NA 13 14 How do I get rid of the NA (not post

Dear All, I will soon be working with NIH and possibly FDA. Will I be able to use R or will I be forced to use SAS? Cheers, Federico -- Federico C. F.

Hi All, I would like to know, is there a *ballpark* figure for how many parameters the minimisation routines can cope with? I'm asking because I was asked if I knew. Cheers, Federico -- Federico C.

Hi All, I'm having a problem with barplot: mydata [1,] 2 108 0 0 0 1 3 0 0 0 0 0 7 18 3 4 8 20 26 20 19 7 1 1 mycol = c(rep('yellow', 2), rep('white', 3), rep('orange',2), rep('white', 5), rep('orange',3), rep('red',9)) barplot(mydata, col = mycol) gives me an uniformly yellow barplot. How do I solve this? bw Federico

Hello all, a friend has a problem with tiff() which I was unable to help about. I searched the error messages to no avail. When he tries: tiff(filename = "FedeWhyDoesntThisBloodyWork.tif", width = 5, height = 5, units = "cm", bg = "white", res = 1200) Error in tiff(filename = "FedeWhyDoesntThisBloodyWork.tif", width = 5, : unable to start device

Hi All, is there a way of predicting memory usage? I need to build an array of 86000 by 2500 numbers (or I might create a list of 2 by 2500 arrays 43000 long). How much memory should I expect to use/need? Cheers, Fede -- Federico C. F.

Hi All, a colleague wants to calculate the Fisher information matrix for a model he wrote (not in R). He can easily get the neg-log-likelihood and the best fit parameters at the minimum. He can also get negLLs for other parameter values too. Given these data, is there a way in R to calculate the Fisher information matrix? Best, Federico -- Federico C. F.

Hi All, I have some data where the dependent variable is a score, low (1:3) or high (8:9), and the independent variables are 21 genotypic markers. I'm fitting a logistic regression on the whole dataset after transforming the score to 0/1 and normal linear regression on the high and low subsets. I all cases I have a numer of cases of data 'duplications', i.e. different

HI All, I have a data frame such as: > test x y p d [1,] 1 0 10 21 0 [2,] 2 3 11 12 0 [3,] 3 4 12 23 0 [4,] 3 5 13 24 0 and I want to perfor some operations on the first two coulums, conditional on the uneqaulity values on the 3rd and 4th columns. For instance: j = 3 test[test[,1] == j, 5] = test[test[,1] == j,2] + test[test[,2] == j,1] gives me the result: test: x y p d

Hi everyone, I am confused on how to specify some nesting and interaction terma with lme(). I have a dataset where some flies where selected for accessory gland size, made to mate in presence/absence of another male and the level of some protein measured. Now the complex stuff. The selection has been replicated twice, so that the selection term has got two levels (large and small) with

Hi All, I have the following problem: x = c(1,2) x [1] 1 2 as.matrix(x) [,1] [1,] 1 [2,] 2 BUT, if I add: y = c(3,4) as.matrix(rbind(x,y)) [,1] [,2] x 1 2 y 3 4 It does not transpose. Since I will need as.matrix() for a list of data that is in one or more lines, I need as.matrix to behave in a consisten fashions, so I get as.matrix(x, whatever) [,1] [,2] x 1
