Dear all, I am new to rails and I am considering it for a project. What I would like to know (and I couldn''t straightforwardly find an answer to) is: - is it possible to develop commercial web applications in which you can pack a whole web app and send it to a client without disclosing the source? - is there any library of existing components already implemented? - which solutions are

Dear Help I'm new to R (from matlab)...using windows XP. I've tried to work out, to no avail, 4 things: 1) rotating the numbers on axes...something to do with par(str) ?? 2) how to close a window having opened one e.g. windows(7,7) 3) how to manipulate the key (e.g. dots, lines etc) on the legend. Using pch just gives me the same key for all functions on a plot. i.e. legend

Hi has anyone coded up domain colouring for visualizing complex analytic functions (such as elliptic functions)? [ the idea is to depict a complex function f(z) using a filled.contour() variant in which the hue is given by Arg(f(z)), and the saturation by Mod(f(z)). ] -- Robin Hankin Uncertainty Analyst Southampton Oceanography Centre European Way, Southampton SO14 3ZH, UK tel

Hi One of my packages needs a look-up table of pre-calculated numbers in the data directory. I would like to have the matrix as large as possible. What is the largest size matrix that would be an acceptable datafile in an R package? [ The table is a square, upper triangular matrix consisting of logs of Stirling numbers calculated by Maple. As discussed on the List a few days ago (thanks

Hi I'm developing an R package that needs to execute some code written in pari/gp. I've used this before from an R package (elliptic) but the interface is very basic: the R function creates a string such as the following: string <- echo ' ellwp ([ 2+0*I , 0+2*I ], 1+0*I )' | gp -q And then system(string) returns the output from gp which then needs to be text processed

I need to specify error terms properly in a mixed-effects anova model. I know you can add error terms in aov using Error and can specify random factors in lme but I am not sure how these get treated. When making the calculations for fixed and random factors, are the correct error terms used and how can you get aov or lme to use different error terms for fixed and random effects? I'm

Hi [MacOsX 10.4.6; R-2.2.1] I have a bundle that comprises three packages. I want to run R CMD check on each one individually, as it takes a long time to run on all three. I am having problems. The bundle as a whole passes R CMD check, but fails when I cd to the bundle directory and run R CMD check on a package directory. The whole bundle passes: octopus:~/scratch% R CMD check

Hi How do I make do.call() take "+" as a function for a list of more than two elements? Toy problem follows: f <- function(i){matrix((1:6)^i,2,3)} # Thus f() returns a matrix of size 2x3; I want to add a whole bunch of such matrices, # as in f(1) + f(2) + f(3) + f(4) # But: > do.call("+",sapply(1:4,f,simplify=FALSE)) Error in do.call("+",

Hi how do I extract those components of a list that satisfy a certain requirement? If jj <- list(list(a=1,b=4:7),list(a=5,b=3:6),list(a=10,b=4:5)) I want just the components of jj that have b[1] ==4 which in this case would be the first and third of jj, viz list (jj[[1]],jj[[3]]). How to do this efficiently? My only idea was to loop through jj, and set unwanted components to NULL,

Hi. I have a factor and I want to extract just those elements that appear exactly once. How to do this? Toy example follows. > a <- as.factor(c(rep("oak",5) ,rep("ash",1),rep("elm",1),rep ("beech",4))) > a [1] oak oak oak oak oak ash elm beech beech beech beech Levels: ash beech elm oak > table(a) a ash beech elm oak

Hi. Is there a straightforward way to convert a character string containing comma-delimited numbers to a numeric vector? In my application, I use system(executable.string, intern=TRUE) which returns a string like "[0.E-38, 2.096751179214927596171268230, 3.678944959657480671183123052, 4.976528845643001020345216157, 6.072390165503099343887569007, 7.007958550337542210168866070,

Hi I have a little function that takes a vector v and an integer i. I want to manipulate v[-i] (to give v.new, say) and then put (unmanipulated) v[i] back into the appropriate place. For example, f <- function(v,i){ v.new <- v[-i]+10 return(c(v.new[1:(i-1)],v[i],v.new[i:length(v.new)])) } (my example is adding 10 to v[-i], but the real version is the solution of a complicated

Hi I have two datasets, A and B, consisting of two columns of numbers representing x and y coordinates. They have 10 and 6 rows respectively. I want to plot two scattergraphs, one above the other. The lower graph to contain A (10 points) and the upper graph to contain B (six points). The x-axes of the two graphs must line up. I then want to draw straight lines that connect points of B to a

Hi I have a column of concatenated information stored in an RG object in the limma package and I need to split this information and then paste the first two pieces of data in each case back into two columns of the RG object. This is how I am currently doing this gene.info.split<-strsplit(RG$genes$Name,",",fixed=TRUE) for (h in 1: length(gene.info.split)){

Hi I'm using a function (arrayview from the maanova package) that produces 12 plots, all in separate windows. How can I get each one to print to a jpeg file as the plots are produced? Alternatively, is it possible to get dev.print (jpeg.....) to print all open graphics devices to separate windows? Thanks in advance, Nat Street -- Nathaniel Street University of Southampton

Hi try this: p3dpairs <- function(x,x1, xlim=NULL,ylim=NULL,zlim=NULL,col=par("col"), pch=par("pch"), cex=par("cex"), ...){ if(is.matrix(x)){ z <- x[,3] y <- x[,2] x <- x[,1] } if(is.matrix(x1)){ z1 <- x1[,3] y1 <- x1[,2] x1 <- x1[,1] } if(missing(zlim)) { z.grid <-

Hello, I am Hukum Chandra and I'm a statistician. I am using R. I have gone through R but I could not get the way how to find "Information matrix" in R. In particular, var-Cov matrix of components of variances in linear mixed model. Could you please help me in getting the way to produce it using R? With best regards Hukum =================================== Hukum Chandra Division

Hi I have a little vector function that takes a vector A of strictly positive integers and outputs a matrix M each of whose columns is the vector, modified in a complicated combinatorical way. Now I want to generalize the function so that A can include zeroes. Given A, I want to strip out the zeroes, pass it to my function, and pad M with rows at positions corresponding to the zeroes

Hi [macOSX 10.4.6; R-2.3.0] I have encountered a difference in behaviour between R-2.2.1 and R-2.3.0 when performing a linear model. Transcript follows for R-2.3.0 (R-2.2.1 worked as expected).

In the Green Book, section 7.5 discusses new vector classes and uses quaternions as an example of a vector class that needs more than one number per element. I would like to define a new class that has a numeric vector and a logical vector of the same length that specifies whether the measurement was accurate. The following code does not behave as desired: >
