Hi, I've read in the past a thead in the R discussion list about the multi-valued type variable (what was called checklist). At the moment Gregory had intention to add some general code in his gregmisc package. I'm wondering if there's some general code / packages available ? A general class for taking account this type of variable would be very useful in the domain of survey

I was looking for an R function to turn a matrix into a LaTeX table; did an R site search using Jon Barron's machine and turned up the latex() function in the Hmisc package. But the Hmisc package is an Splus package, and appears not to be available for R --- there is no hint of it in the list of contributed packages on CRAN. I had a look at the Hmisc package (via statlib) and there was no

Hi folks, Using R Version 1.6.2 (2003-01-10) on SuSE Linux 7.2, I just installed Hmisc_1.5-3.tar.gz and Design_1.1-5.tar.gz These were taken from http://hesweb1.med.virginia.edu/biostat/s/library/r Checked the dependencies: Hmisc: grid, lattice, mva, acepack -- all already installed Design: Hmisc, survival -- survival already installed, so installed Hmisc first All seems to go

As an R absolute beginner and an expert (very old) statistician and latex user, I'm interested in using R to produce AUTOMAGICALLY tables in latex format. I mean I would like to have the means to build an R procedure generating **FROM INSIDE** a table or a graph to be inserted directly into latex. I've read http://hesweb1.med.virginia.edu/biostat/s/doc/summary.pdf where the author speaks

Great news! Having spent a significant amount of time porting/mantaining some packages on S4/Splus 5.x and R, I'm interested in your experience as you port Hmisc and Design; I'd like to know of your progress in order to help improve available R/Splus portability tools both at the C and the S language code. These tools include the package SLanguage written by John Chambers, and

Has anyone tried to download Hmisc and used ldBands function for calculating Lan-Demets group sequential boundaries? The write-up in F.Harrell's website indicates that, besides downloading the package Hmisc, one needs to copy the progra ld98 from the University of Wisconsin website. As suggested, I did this but received another error message regarding the search path. I think I have fixed

In a .First.lib I want to issue two require()s to insure that two other packages are loaded. But I want the package being loaded by .First.lib using library.dynam("mypackage",pkb,lib) to be higher in the search order than the two required packages, because I want to have a couple of functions from the two required packages overridden. What is the best way to do that? Thanks in advance

Dear listserve members, especially Prof. Harrell: I am trying to create a factor variable that has fewer levels than the original. I have a factor: >rosa$risk1 [1] 2 2 5 1 ... [1799] 3 3 1 3 1 6 3 3 1 5 3 5 3 3 3 0 3 3 3 1 1 3 Levels: 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 8 But when I do this: rosa2 <- upData(rosa,
