Hello I'm in the process of putting SMB onto a dual Opteron x64 box running Solaris 10, with the SFW samba as supplied by Sun. I haven't found any hooks for this for the new SMF/SVC startup system, so I'm doing so now, but before I go any further, am I duplicating any efforts? Is anyone else doing this and has done it? At present I'm only starting smbd and nmbd (I never really

Hi all, Come one come all! We're having the next Asterisk evening at the Fujitsu Centre for Excellence! This is Fuji's state of the art show-off centre - they're promising lots of interesting toys to play with. As usual, we'll be discussing developments in Asterisk land over the past couple of months. If you've got some interesting toys yourself, please bring them along!

Hello, Is there a simple way to get the class type for each column of a data.frame? I am in the situation where I would like to get all the columns of a data.frame that are factors. I have tried: apply(df,2,class) but all the columns come back as class "character". Thanks Dan -- ************************************************************** Daniel Brewer, Ph.D. Institute of

Hello, I would like to reshape my data for presentation purposes from something like this: > test <- data.frame(a=c("A","A","A","A","B","B","B"),b=c(1,1,2,2,1,1,1),c=1:7) > test a b c 1 A 1 1 2 A 1 2 3 A 2 3 4 A 2 4 5 B 1 5 6 B 1 6 7 B 1 7 to something like this: a b c 1 A 1 1,2 3 A 2 3,4 5 B 1 5,6,7 This seems

Simple question how can you position text in the top left hand corner of a plot? I am plotting multiple plots using par(mfrow=c(2,3)) and all I want to do is label these plots a), b), c) etc. I have been fiddling around with both text and mtext but without much luck. text is fine but each plot has a different scale on the axis and so this makes it problematic. What is the best way to do this?

Hi, I was just wondering if anyone had created a 64 bit binary for SUSE 10.1 x86_64 yet. Unfortunately, I upgraded before looking whether a package was available and now cannot find a suitable package on CRAN. If noone has produced one yet, does anyone have any idea when one will be available? Many Thanks Daniel Brewer

Hi, I have a particular barplot I would like to generate, but I am having trouble getting it to work. What I would like is in effect two barplots with stacked bars merged into one. For example, I have two samples (yoda1,yoda2) on which I measure whether two variables (var1,var2) are present or absent for a number of measurements on that sample. > var1 <- data.frame(yoda1=c(3,7),

I feel very silly asking this, because I saw the answer to this question one time and can't remember what it was. OpenSSH uses /dev/urandom or /dev/random which Solaris does not have (verified with a call to the Sun software folks). How do I make OpenSSH happy with a Solaris substitute for /etc/urandom?

Does anyone have any ideas how I could do a power calculation for a log rank test. I would like to know what the suggested sample sizes would be to pick a difference when the control to active are in a ratio of 80% to 20%.

Hello, I would like to calculate the 95% confidence intervals for the estimates of a linear model and I just wanted to check that I am doing it correct. Is it just: Estimate + 1.95996*Std.Error to Estimate - 1.95996*Std.Error or is there another approach that doesn't assume a normal distrbution? Thanks. Apologies for my naiivity Dan --

Hi, I'm trying to create a heatmap with color ranges for different values in my matrix. For example: If x > 5 , use orange gradient if x < 1.5, use red gradient ..... Right now I have the following: orgPal<-brewer.pal(3,"Oranges") bluPal<-brewer.pal(3,"Blues") redPal<-brewer.pal(3,"Reds") grad <- ifelse(randMat >

Dear listers, After activating the name space for my bioconductor package (prada) I successfully ran R CMD check. However when loading the package in R and running the examples the imported function brewer.pal from package RColorBrewer is not found. I can directly call brewer.pal from the RColorBrewer name space typing RColorBrewer::brewer.pal, but it is not imported into my prada name space. When

Hi, I am trying to produce a plot with an xlabel that reads (x >= 5%) with the >= turned into the correct epression. I can do this up to the percentage sign by specifiing xlab=expression(x>=5). Whatever I do to include the % sign as well doesn't seem to work. xlab=bquote(x>=5.("%")) almost works but includes brackets. Anyonw know how to solve this one Dan PS I am

Hello, I would like to scrape some html tables from a web page and convert them to a data.frame so I can perform further analysis. Could anyone tell me the best way to do this? Would it be more appropriate to use an external tool first?

Hello, I would like to be able to calculate the age of someone at a particular date. Both dates are date objects. Here is what I have come up with: floor(as.numeric(sampleInfo$Date.of.DIAGNOSIS-sampleInfo$Date.of.birth)/365.25) Is this the best approach? or is there an inbuilt function? I have looked at difftime but that does not seem to allow output in years. Many thanks Dan --

Hi all, I have 35 years, I have been working since I exit from University. I have returned to make a phd...I´m fortunatelly I´m working so unfortunatelly I have few time to study (I have also a baby with 16 months). I´m trying to use R but sometimes it gets very difficult. I´m trying to put this code in my polygon function colramp=colorRampPalette(brewer.pal(9,"YlOrRd") to use

Hello, I have a data.frame which I would like to sort with the primary key decreasing while the secondry key is increasing e.g. x <- data.frame(One=c(1,1,1,2,2,3,4,5),Two=c(2,3,1,2,3,3,3,3)) I would like to order it so it looks like this: One Two 8 5 3 7 4 3 6 3 3 4 2 2 5 2 3 3 1 1 1 1 2 2 1 3 i.e. primarily decreasing in the 1st column but if there is a

Hello, I have a gene expression matrix with columns being samples and rows being genes. I would like to display the expression values for each gene. I have two groups which I colour differently. The aim is to see if there is any difference between the two groups consistently across genes. So the following works well:
