Alas, in this case, no Ubuntu package. Since I installed some tens of packages with the same method in the meantime, I guess something must be wrong with the install.packages; at least on Ubuntu9.10, amd64. (And I am not

A few examples (more are

I'd like to announce a new version, 1.3-0, of the Rcmdr package. The Rcmdr package provides a basic-statistics graphical user interface (GUI) to R. Beyond small changes and additions, this new version of the package makes provision for "plug-ins" that permit extension of the Rcmdr GUI without altering and rebuilding the Rcmdr source package or modifying the installed package. An R

Hi list, I wonder if anyone has had this experience with squishplot() in the TeachingDemos package. Taking the example from the ?image help page, library(TeachingDemos) x <- 10*(1:nrow(volcano)) y <- 10*(1:ncol(volcano)) layout(matrix(c(1,2,3,4),ncol=2,byrow=TRUE),height=c(2,1)) ## 1st plot op <- squishplot(range(x),range(y),1) image(x, y, volcano, col = terrain.colors(100)) par(op)

In an R graphic, I'm using cond.col <- c("green", "yellow", "red") to represent a quantitative variable, where green means 'OK', yellow represents 'warning' and red represents 'danger'. Using these particular color names, in B/W, red is darkest and yellow is lightest. I'd like to find color designations to replace yellow and

I'm about to do some testing with a an OSX 10.9 client connected to sernet samba 4.1.5 to see what things work and don't both from the finder and from the terminal with unix extensions = yes and no.

I have some data fit to a smooth.spline object as follows: (x=vector of data for the predictor variable, y=vector of data for the response variable) fit <- smooth.spline(x,y) Now, given a spline fit point y_new, I want to be able to find out what value of x_new yielded this fit value. How to do so? (This problem is the inverse of the predict.smooth.spline function, which takes x_new as input

Dear R People: Could someone recommend a small example for spline regression, please? I would like to show this to my students, step by step.

Hi, I am trying to prepare a report with R2HTML using HTMLStart(outdir="./html", filename="report", echo=T, HTMLframe=F) then, for instance, I want to get the output of a loop: for (i in 1:20) print(summary(rnorm(1000))) but only the first of summaries really ends up in the html file.

Dear all, I am a newbie to Xapian-Omega. I installed Xapian-Omega (1.2.14) a few days ago on my freebsd NAS server, and intend to use it to search my CIFS/SMB share. So far it works fine (I am able to search my share using the omega web interface), nevertheless I have few newbie questions. Hoping that somebody can answer my (hopefully not to silly) newbie questions. Indexing file names:

Dear Mr Peter Dalgaard and Mr Dieter Menne, I sincerely thank you for helping me out with my problem. The thing is taht I already have calculated SENS = Gg / (Gg + Bg) = 89.97% and SPEC = Bb / (Bb + Gb) = 74.38%. Now I have values of SENS and SPEC, which are absolute in nature. My question was how do I interpret these absolue values. How does these values help me to find out wheher my model is

Maybe I''m anal but I like fat-free JS, so I pulled the Proptotype and core Scriptaculous files into one single JS file at 49Kb.
