Hi! When inserting R plots into a document using odfWeave, I fought for a while to get Lattice plots use the same text size as base plots. I eventually discovered that specifying a point size via e.g. svg(pointsize=10) has no effect on Lattice plots. One needs to adjust the size manually via: trellis.par.set(fontsize=list(text=10, points=8)) This is also developed for both Lattice and ggplot2 by

Hello dear R-help mailing list. Looks like the same issue in Russian: library(RCurl) library(XML) u = " http://www.cian.ru/cat.php?deal_type=2&obl_id=1&room1=1" a = getURL(u) a # Here - the Russian is fine. a2 <- htmlParse(a) a2 # Here it is a mess... None of these seem to fix it: htmlParse(a, encoding = "windows-1251") htmlParse(a, encoding =

Hi! I was wondering whether anybody was looking at the bugs on Bugzilla. I'm asking because I've seen bugs tackled on the mailing list quite quickly, but two fully reproducible reports I've filed on Bugzilla haven't triggered any reaction in several weeks (for the older one). FWIW, these are: - Line goes beyond plot region

HI Sridhar, Try this: #I saved the file as .csv. ?testMaster<-read.csv("test1Master.csv") ?test2Sorted<-read.csv("test2Sorted.csv") testMaster1<-testMaster[order(testMaster[,1]),] test2Sorted1<-test2Sorted[order(test2Sorted[,1]),] Combinedat<-as.matrix(merge(testMaster1,test2Sorted1,by="X")) ?rownames(Combinedat)<-Combinedat[,1]

Hello All, Learning to use the odfWeave package. I really like the package. It has good documentation, makes some very nice looking tables, and seems to have lots of options for customizing output. There are a few things I'd like to do that don't seem to be covered in the documentation though. So I'm not sure if they're possible or not. Here's a list of some things I'd

Hi all, I know this issue has been discussed a few times in the past already, but Martin Maechler suggested in a bug report [1] that I raise it here. Basically, there is no (easy) way of printing NAs for all variables when calling xtabs() on factors. Passing 'exclude=NULL, na.action=na.pass' works for character vectors, but not for factors. > test <-

I need help with creating custom xml reader for use with the tm package. The objective is to crate a corpus for analysis. Files that I'm working with come from solr and are in a funky XML format never the less I'm able to parse the XML files using solrDocs.R function provided by Duncan Temple Lang. The problem I'm having that once I parse the document I need to create a custom

Hi! It seems that read.table() in R 3.0.1 (Linux 64-bit) does not consider quoted integers as an acceptable value for columns for which colClasses="integer". But when colClasses is omitted, these columns are read as integer anyway. For example, let's consider a file named file.dat, containing: "1" "2" > read.table("file.dat",

Dear all, is there a function similar to extractAIC based on which I can extract the BIC (Bayesian Information Criterion) of a coxph model? I found some functions that provide BIC in other packages, but none of them seems to work with coxph. Thanks, Michael [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Hello all, Please review the following simple code: # make a factor: x <- factor(c("one", "two")) # what should be the output to the following expression? c(x, "3") # <=== ???? # I expected it to be as the output of: c(as.character(x), "3") # But in fact, the output is what would happen if we had ran the next line:

Dear All, My main objective was to compute the distance of 100000 vectors from a set having 900 other vectors. I've a file named "seq_vec" containing 100000 records and 256 columns. While computing, the memory was not sufficient and resulted in error "cannot allocate vector of size 152.1Mb" So I've approached the problem in the following: Rather than reading the data

Hi all, I am having trouble loading a ff object previously saved in a different computer. I have both files .ffData and .RData, and the first of them is 13Mb large from which I know the data is therein. But when I try to ffload it, checkdir error: cannot create /home/_myUser_ Permission denied unable to process home/_myUser_/Rtempdir/ff1a831d500b8d.ff. and

Hi! I would like to suggest to make it possible, in one way or another, to get meaningful contrast names when using contr.sum(). Currently, when using contr.treatment(), one gets factor levels as contrast names; but when using contr.sum(), contrasts are merely numbered, which is not practical and can lead to mistakes (see code at the end of this message). This issue was discussed quickly in 2005

Hello, All: What would it take to make ?iconv? portable? I ask, because I want to convert accented characters to vanilla ASCII, thereby converting, e.g., ?Ra?l? to ?Raul?, and Milan Bouchet-Valet suggested on R-help that I use 'iconv(x, ?", "ASCII//TRANSLIT?)?. This worked under Windows but failed on Linux and Mac. It?s part of the ?subNonStandardCharacters? function

Hi list! I'm getting an error message when trying to fit an accelerated failure time parametric model using the aftreg() function from package eha: > Error in optim(beta, Fmin, method = "BFGS", control = list(trace = > as.integer(printlevel)), : > non-finite finite-difference value [2] This only happens when adding four specific covariates at the same time in the

Hi! I've been playing with MKL for a few days and I noticed the instructions in the R Installation Administration manual [1] no longer apply. It seems that since version 10.0 (the one used by the manual), libmkl_lapack.so has been renamed/split (although the official explanations seem to imply this was already the case in 10.0 [2]). As a consequence, the instructions for dynamic linking no

Hi everybody, I am sorry that I am kind of spamming this forum, but I have searched for some input everywhere and cant really find a nice solution for my problem.

Hi! Some time ago, I replaced calls to library() with calls to requireNamespace() in my package logmult, in order to follow the new CRAN policies. But I just noticed it broke jackknife/bootstrap using several workers via package parallel. The reason is that I'm running model replicates on the workers, and the formula includes non-standard terms like Mult() which are provided by gnm. If gnm

Hi all, The subject line is TRUE. Today I accidentally typed rnorm(!0). My old eyes took a minute to focus clearly enough to see what I really typed and why I got '!0' random numbers instead of '10' random normal numbers. If the subject line is disturbing, be assured that this is TRUE: !0^2 == !0 * !0 # ;-) Anyway, I hope the hands who have been around long enough to know
