similar to: OFF TOPIC: Nature article on File Drawer Problem in Reserach

I know you didn't want to stimulate discussion, but the problem is not confined to publication. "Adverse reaction to medication" monitoring programs are plagued by a similarly massive under-reporting problem: adverse reactions are seldom reported unless they are particularly bad or surprising. (The Ministry of Health in my country estimates 90% of cases are never reported.)

Dear Bert, You have made my day!! Your post is a great help and very useful in my field. The paper is not among the off-the-shelf research output. Some of us, who get into unenviable conflict and disputation with some reverenced authorities in our field, understand the weight of the article. I had not even consumed half of it before I decided to thank you. I will quickly go back to see how it

I was reading about the project drawer feature in Textmate, which is Mac only. Is there a similar feature in a Windows based text editor that works with R. This feature sounds really useful. Thanks, Graham [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

I just found a Dialogic VFX/41JCT-LS (4 analog ports) in a drawer. I can use it in my house with asterisk at home project. Can I use that with asterisk?

G'Day, I want to access in a function called from tapply the current factor. In my example below, all I want to do is to write the current factor on each histogram. Needless to say my example does not work. I would be grateful for pointers in the right direction. Many thanks Bernie McConnell Sea Mammal Reserach Unit cc <- 1:10 ff <- rep(c("a","b"),5) pp<-

Hi, I am interested in using the cast function in R to perform some aggregation. I did once manage to get it working, but have now forgotten how I did this. So here is my dilemma. I have several thousands of probes (about 180,000) corresponding to each gene; what I'd like to do is obtain is a frequency count of the various occurrences of each probes for each gene. The data would look

Hi, I was wondering if there is a paper or a technical report that documents the performance impact of the different optimizations passes on a some set of benchmarks. Is something like this available ? Best regards, Ahmed -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Folks: NON-R RELATED NATURE article on fundamental statistical inference (and, I think, more fundamentally, philosophy of science: what constitutes scientific "validity" ?) issues that I thought might be of general interest to this list. http://www.nature.com/news/2009/090113/full/457245a.html For a hint on content, the last line is: "We can never be reminded often enough of the

Hi everyone, I?m a graduate student in a Brazilian Intitute of Technology, and I?m doing some academic research regarding secure voice transmission over phone lines. One of our reserach goals is to implement a hardware vocoder, with low bit rates, and a preferably free algorithm, to be used in this secure voice system. Actually, there is a functional system using a proprietary AMBE

Gene names being misinterpreted by spreadsheet software (read.csv is no different) is a classic issue in bioinformatics. It seems like every practitioner ends up encountering this issue in due time.

Dear all, let suppose I have following vector:   > dat1 <- c(rep("asd", 5), rep("xyz", 12), rep("erd", 17)) > dat1 <- dat1[sample(1:length(dat1), length(dat1), replace=F)] > dat1  [1] "erd" "xyz" "erd" "asd" "asd" "erd" "xyz" "asd" "erd" "erd"

Hello, I do not have an account on R Bugzilla, so I will post my bug report here. I want to report a very old bug in base R *source()* function. It relates to sourcing some R scripts in UTF-8 encoding on Windows machines. For some reason if the UTF-8 script is containing cyrillic letter *"?"*, the script execution is interrupted directly on this letter (btw the same scripts are sourcing

All: **OFF TOPIC** -- feel free to respond to me personally, but I will not respond to on-list comments. https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-023-03635-w Many of you will no doubt know of this already. I hope it will be of interest to all concerned with research replicability, integrity, and the public's view of the value of scientific research. Best to all (and happy Thanksgiving to US

Hello. Please excuse this off-topic request, but I know that the question has been debated in summary form on this list a number of times. I would find a paper that lays out the advantages and disadvantages of using different types of SS in the context of unbalanced data in ANOVA, regression and ANCOVA, especially including the use of different types of contrasts and the meaning of the

Hello I have a dataframe with 3 columns C1, C2 and C3. C1 and C2 are numerical data and C3 is the date of the data (format : %Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S") With the lattice package, I would like to plot C1 as function of C2 sorted by the dates, that is something like : xyplot(C1 ~ C2 | as.Date(C3)) It plots somethings but not the truth. I have compared the output with the output of this script

> You can avoid testing gnulib (not very interesting anyway) by running: > > ./configure --disable-gnulib-tests I personaly do not care, but in case i make a libguestfs-git PKBUILD, I want everything be OK. I just realised than I followed the libguestfs PKGBUILD, but NO virt-p2v and virt-v2v binaries are installed in /usr/bin. Shame. I am rewriting the git PKGBUILD.

Hello, i discovered that when a sieve rule "fileinto drawer;" tries to deliver a mail into a non existent drawer, the drawer gets created. This is neat, but is there also a way to automatically subcribe to the created folder ? Regards, Oliver Eales
