Hi! I have a dataset with three columns -the first two refer to x and y coordinates, the last one are odds ratios. I'd like to plot the data with x and y coordinates and the odds ratio shown as a fourfold plot, which I prefer to do using the stars function. Unfortunately the stars option in symbols is not as cool as the stars function on its own, and now i can't figure out how to do it!

Hi I don't know if you can help. I am a 2nd year Bsc Cosmetic Science student and in R I need some help in drawing stars. The problem that I have is I want to recreate a radar diagram similar to the one in excel. I have put in these commands in a script window: stars(shampoo1[, 1:6], locations = c(0,0), radius = TRUE, key.loc=c(0,0), main = "Ranked Results for the Sensory

Dear R gurus, I'm running into a problem with some modified segment plots I've coded using stars(). What I am trying to do is superimpose two series of data along with radial axes markers in a 2x2 graphics frame. This is working fine now, except for the hitch: my plots overfill the frame and are not centered within it (on my runs they always end up looking like they've been budged

Dear listers, The following command (derived from the example in the ?stars help page) works : data(mtcars) stars(mtcars[, 1:7]) But the following gives an error: stars(mtcars[1, 1:7]) Error in s.y[i, ] : incorrect number of dimensions I was expecting to have the star graph for the first line (Mazda Rx4) The following give an incorrect graph for the first two cars : stars(mtcars[1:2, 1:7])

I am trying to make it so two columns with similar data use the same internal numbers for same factors, here is the example: > read.csv("test.csv",header =FALSE,sep=",") V1 V2 V3 1 sun moon stars 2 stars moon sun 3 cat dog catdog 4 dog moon sun 5 bird plane superman 6 1000 dog 2000 > data <-

Dear R-Devel, As I am sure many of you know, a special issue of The American Statistician just came out, and its theme is the [mis]use of P values and the many common ways in which they are abused. The lead editorial in that issue mentions the 2014 ASA guidelines on P values, and goes one step further, by now recommending that the words "statistically significant" and related simplistic

Hi all, I have encountered a problem which appears to have defeated my (admittedly nascent) R skills. I want to draw a spider plot with many cases (just over 300). I am primarily interested in the difference between 4 categories of cases, and want to display them as different colors. the col.stars parameter does not change the color of the lines (which I'm after), but fills the stars in

I have always assumed that having a package in the 'Depends' field would automatically also?import?the namespace. However, it seems that in R 2.15, dependencies do not become available until the package is actually?attached?to the searchpath. Is this intended behavior? The problem appears as follows: Suppose there is a package 'Child' which?Depends, but does not explicitly

Hi, Apologies if this is the wrong list to be sending this question to. I am trying to install a copy of the R tools required to create / compile packages on windows. After downloading Rtools from http://www.murdoch-sutherland.com/Rtools/ windows keeps complaining that "The setup files are corrupted". This has happened with both the Rtools213.exe and the Rtools212.exe downloads, and

Has anyone out there implemented a star rating system as described by Dave Naffis? http://www.naffis.com/blog/articles/2006/08/31/rails-ajax-star-rating-system He really has an excellent HOWTO to set this up. Unfortunately I see problems in IE. The overlayed, filled-in rating stars are not overlaying over top of the blank stars. The overlay is starting about 2.5 stars right of where it should.

Dear all, I run different R versions (3.2.1, 3.2.2 and 3.2.3) on different platforms (Arch, Ubuntu, Debian) with a different number of available cores (24, 4, 24). The following line produces very different behavior on the three machines: for(i in 1:1e6) {n <- 100; M <- matrix(rnorm(n^2), n, n); M %*% M} On the Ubuntu and Arch machine one core is used, but on the Debian machine ALL

I miss the stars when doing scp. My suggestion for progressmeter.c makes scp to display different fields on different terminal widths. Maybe this is useful for you. Once in "start_progress_meter()" the outlook of the progressline is calculated. In "draw_progress_meter()" sprintf() instead of snprintf() together with some strlen()'s can be used, because the buffersize has

Hi, I am trying to create a table with information from Shapiro Wilk's test of normality. However, it fails due to lack of sample size, it says, but the way I see it, this is not a problem. (See the table of sample sizes (almost) at the bottom). Applying a different function using a similar ftable call is not a problem (See the bottom table). This is R 2.1.0 on Linux (Gentoo). /Fredrik

R 1.4.0 ?stars has scale: logical flag: if `TRUE', the columns of the data matrix are scaled independently so that the maximum value in each column is 1 and the minimum is 0. If `FALSE', the presumption is that the data have been scaled by some other algorithm to the range [0,1]. but the code has if (scale) { x <- sweep(x, 2,

Hi, I'm getting some strange behaviour when trying to use the power operator (a^b) when a is large and b is less than one: big <- .Machine$double.xmax big big^0.5 sqrt(big) > big <- 1.797693134862315708384e+308 > big^0.5 [1] Inf > sqrt(big) [1] 1.340781e+154 I'm guessing that this behaviour is not expected, or am I missing something about ^?

Today's GNU R tutorial in http://how-to.linuxcareer.com/a-quick-gnu-r-tutorial-to-statistical-models-and-graphics points out how bad statistical practice is being further perpetuated, by virtue of "significance stars" still being the default in printed output from lm models. ----- Frank Harrell Department of Biostatistics, Vanderbilt University -- View this message in context:

Hi, I've just downloaded and installed R 2.14.0 using the windows binary on a 64bit windows machine running windows 7. Rterm / RGui work as expected, as does R CMD --help and R CMD BATCH --help however R CMD check --help returns no information and I seem to be unable to check a package. Various other options also seem to not be working as expected, i.e. R CMD REMOVE aa (where aa is

printCoefmat(signif.legend =FALSE) does not work properly. The option "signif.legend = FALSE" is ignored as shown in the example below. cmat <- cbind(rnorm(3, 10), sqrt(rchisq(3, 12))) cmat <- cbind(cmat, cmat[,1]/cmat[,2]) cmat <- cbind(cmat, 2*pnorm(-cmat[,3])) colnames(cmat) <- c("Estimate", "Std.Err", "Z value", "Pr(>z)") #

Hi all! Writing a paper using a lot of boxplots I was asked to mark the significant differences between plotted groups using "stars on top". These stars are found freqeuntly in medical papers and printed above boxplots when there is a significant difference (usually using a bar to indicate which groups are meant if there are more then two in a plot). I was able to calculate whatever
