When I run it (OS X 10.6.2), find builds a list across multiple directories and then runs metaflac, causing metaflac to report. "The FLAC file could not be opened. Most likely the file does not exist or is not readable." I would think this is the expected result as " {} + " is the same as -execdir, except that ``{}'' is replaced with as many pathnames as possible for

Dear R-listers, I am using R for Windows Vista 64-bit. I have no experience working with maps, but now I have to plot a map of Denmark in which each Danish county is color-coded according to its incidence rate of a particular disease.

Hi all, I study epidemiology of soilborne disease. I have this ode model dS/dt = - (rp(t) X + rs(t) I) * S with X=1 ; rp(t) = ap exp( - bp*t) ; rs(t) = as exp (-0.5 ( ln (t/ds) / bs)? ) The data I have are not directly the infected individuals (which is a hidden state) but the Diseases ones (individuals who show aerial symptoms). I have studied with experiments the relationship between the

Dear list, I have a question regarding the included polygon in the khat function of the splancs library defining the area where points appear. I have not only one simple polygon included, my map includes several islands. I read my map which was a shape file by readShapeSpatial of the maptools library. Then I split up the SpatialPolygonsDataFrame into the included polygons by coor <- NULL

I am a new R user and so I thought I could start with "Using R for Introductory statistics" by Verzani. In order to use some of the functions and datasets I have to install the simpleR package which is is now inside the UsingR package. I did so using >install.packages("UsingR"). However, the functions such as "simple.freqpoly.R" do not work. I also tried to

Dear all, I use Sweave to create my reports. my pdf output contains only NA's whenever my text contains special Danish characters like ø, ø and å.

The odd thing is, everything looks absolutely right in the R console, and if
