Question about --files-from= and folder structure
I'm writing a script to sync some mp3 files. Due to a limitation in the
number of destination files that can be read from my thumb drive, I'm
not looking to preserve the original file structure (actually, I'm
looking to sync *only the files* to the new destination directory).
The source files are all subfolders under /backup/Music:

lm combined with splines
Hello,
In the following I tried 3 versions of an example in R help. Only the two first predict command work.
After :
library(splines)
require(stats)
1)
fm1 <- lm(weight ~ bs(height, df = 5), data = women)
ht1 <- seq(57, 73, len = 200)
ph1 <- predict(fm1, data.frame(height=ht1)) # OK
plot(women, xlab = "Height (in)", ylab = "Weight (lb)")
lines(ht1, ph1)

Sweave and the "[" function
I am wanting to use the "[" operator in an S-chunk, e.g.
<<>>=
str(women)
women$height
women[,1]
"["(women,1)
@
to show the equivalence of three methods of extracting an element from
a data.frame.
However Sweave returns the last of these as
women[1]
in the S input chunk
How can I force it not to do this and return "["(women,1)

R hanging after loading tcltk
On R 1.3 / RH 7.1 / i386 (compiled with shared library support), I typed
* library(tcltk)
* help("some nonsensical string")
and R never returned a prompt (but not consuming any CPU cycles). If tcltk
is not loaded, I get the expected help error message, a prompt, and can
continue my session as expected.
Any ideas? I am running tcl 8.3.3.2.
I would assume this has something to do

Comparing proportions between groups
Hello there,
I have two groups (men and women) and I know per group how many of them
smoke or don't smoke (women 40 of 200; men 100 of 300). I would like to know
how I can compare in R if men and women differ significantly in their
smoking. However, because there are more men in the sample than women I
cannot just compare the number of smokers and non-smokers in both groups,
right?! (I would

list demographics
Hi all,
I got curious about something, so in proper scientific fashion I
obtained some data and analyzed it.
Question: what is the female participation in the R-help email list?
Data: the most recent list postings, obtained from the website. I took
my best shot at classifying the names given in the email header as
male/female, but ended with a fair number of unknowns.
This dataset had 2797

Using SPSS Labels
I am trying to import a SPSS.sav file into R. The attached file is not
technically the file I am trying to import, but does replicate my
problem. The actual file is much too large to attach. No matter what I
do, I can not get R (base or Hmisc) to apply the value labels in
the .sav file to the dataframe created in R. Here's the code that I am
using.
maine <- spss.get("test.sav")

Problems in programming a simple likelihood
As part of carrying out a complicated maximum likelihood estimation, I
am trying to learn to program likelihoods in R. I started with a simple
probit model but am unable to get the code to work. Any help or
suggestions are most welcome. I give my code below:

mlogl <- function(mu, y, X) {
n <- nrow(X)
zeta <- X%*%mu

Regardless of what kind CoC you have: if it comes to having to enforce
it, the community has stopped being open and welcoming.

Peculiar behavior of attached objects
I've just discovered R and think it is terrific. I quickly reproduced
results with a few lines of R commands that 7 years ago I had to do with
a larger fortran code and many calls to NAG routines. (I'm mostly a
computational plasma physicist, but occasionally delve into statistical
analysis of data.)
But I've come accross a very peculiar behavior of attached objects that

Incidence estimated from Kaplan-Meier
Dear all,
I have a stat question that may not be related to R, but I would like to
have your advice.
I have just read a medical paper in which the authors report the 1-p (where
p is the cumulative survival probability from the Kaplan Meier curve) as
incidence of disease.
Specifically, the study followed ~12000 women on drug A and ~20000 women on
drug B for 12 months. During that period

graphs for pretest data
Is there an easy way to make graphs for the following data. I have
pretest and posttest scores for men and
women. I would like to form a 'titlted segment' plot for the data.
That is, make segments joining the scores,
with different types of segments for men and women.
Example data:
menpre <- c(43,42,26,39,60,60,46)
menpost <- c(40,41,36,42,54,58,43)

Documentation of B-spline function
Goodmorning,
This is a documentation related question about the B-spline function in R.
In the help file it is stated that:
"df degrees of freedom; one can specify df rather than knots; bs() then chooses df-degree-1 knots at suitable quantiles of x (which will ignore missing values)."
So if one were to specify a spline with 6 degrees of freedom (and no intercept) then a basis

Urgent - R help - Multivariate - Naive Bayes code for R
Friends,
I am doing a URL classification, based on certain key words whether it
contains an executive information or not. I have already went through 50K
URL's and identified the key words and made it as 0, 1 ( 0 - do not have
the key word and 1 - have the key word) and 0- do not contain executive
information 1 - contains executive information.
A sample set of data is shown below.

R 3.2.4 rc issue
I generally run 'make; make check' (with more settings) when building the

controlling the x axis of boxplots
v 2.0.1 (sooooh old!) on Win2k
I think I know the answer to this but I can hope ...
I have data for continuous variables (measures of residents) by a
categorical variable in range (1,22), the units in which they live.
I want to plot these data with a pair of boxplots one above another
with same x-axis (1,22) using par(mfrow=c(2,1)) and then plotting
first for the women then for the men.

metafor
Dear users of metafor,
I am working on a meta-analysis using the metafor package. I have a
excel csv database that I am working with. I am interested in pooling
the effect measures for a particular subgroup (European women) in this
csv database. I am conducting both sub-group and meta-regression.
In subgroup-analyses, I have stratified the database to create a
separate csv file just for European
