similar to: New package: ``denstrip'' for compactly illustrating distributions

I'm interested in the R packages svLab and the recently announced denstrip. For svLab, I've seen a PDF from 2003 describing it, and at least one paper or description having used it. I could not find it in the download list of packages within R or on CRAN, however. Did it get subsumed or renamed? Regarding denstrip, this was just recently announced, so I wondered what the percolation

We have a user who wants to use Outlook with our Dovecot IMAP server but doesn't like the way Outlook handles deletion with IMAP. Ironically she would like Outlook to move the message to her Trash folder, just like Outlook does with "local" folders, I guess. So I enabled the "deleted-to-trash" plugin (v0.3) on our Dovecot 1.2.17 server (built for SPARC, solaris 10,

When reading comma-delimited files as saved from a spreadsheet (unfortunately many of my scientific collaborators give me these) in read.table(), missing values are spotted most of the time. Unfortunately when comma is the first character on the line it gets it wrong. For example, reading the file 1,,3 ,5,6 ,8,9 with read.table("test.dat", header=F, sep=",") R gives

Is there any way of running R in ESS using -n and -v arguments other than the default?

Hi Just one of those niggles....... I've just been trying to plot a filled circle. I thought that this would do it plot(1,1,type="n") points(1,1,pch=1,bg="blue",cex=5) #bg: background ("fill") color for open plot symbols But I need to do this instead points(1.2,1,pch=19,col="blue",cex=5) Am I misunderstanding the "bg" option in the points

Is there any way of getting just the LaTex output which R CMD Rd2dvi generates on the way to produces a .dvi file, which could then be incoorporated into another document?

Hello folks, Any ideas how to do this? data.frame is a data frame with column names "x1",...,"xn" y is a response variable of length dim(data.frame)[1] I want to write a function function(y, data.frame){ lm(y~x1+...+xn) } This would be easy if n was always the same. If n is arbitrary how could I feed the x1+...+xn terms into lm(response~terms)? Thanks Richard -- Dr.

Hello, I've had a quick look on the list and can't find an answer to this niggle. Whilst debugging some code, I noticed that looping variables in R are not local to the loop as seams common in procedural languages. For example consider the following piece of code: for(i in 1:3){ cat(i,"") for(i in c("a","b","c")){ cat(i,"")

Dear Wine-friends, I was wondering if any of you would have a clue around why WinBUGS (http://www.mrc-bsu.cam.ac.uk/bugs/), a nifty Markov chain Monte Carlo sampler widely used in Bayesian statistical modelling, no longer works when run through any version of WINE newer than 1.1.12. I have encountered this issue of my machines at home (which runs on Zenwalk 6.0) and work (Mandriva 2008.1) a

Hello, In WinBUGS 1.4 manual (http://www.mrc-bsu.cam.ac.uk/bugs/winbugs/manual14.pdf), the gamma density is presented as dgamma(r,mu) where r and mu are the shape and rate parameters, respectively. In JAGS (rjags) manual version 1.0.2, May 9, 2008 (http://www-fis.iarc.fr/~martyn/software/jags/jags_user_manual.pdf), on page 26 the gamma density is presented as dgamma(mu,r) instead of dgamma(r,mu).

Is there a way to "unplug" the windows graphics from R, so that it will work across a teletype telnet session or in a Linux box proving resistant to having windows added to it?

Changing from 0.64.1 to 0.64.2 is causing some dynamically-loaded code to crash with the message: ld.so.1: /usr/local/lib/R/bin/R.binary: fatal: relocation error: file /homef/jonm/glib/ggg/libs/glmm.so: symbol R_chk_calloc: referenced symbol not found (I've added carriage returns) what am I doing wrong?

Thanks to everyone who helped with my query---Professors Riply, Bates, Lumley, and Tim Keitt. I said <snip> > My worries are > > a) That I've used calloc rather than S_alloc throughout.

Is there a platform-independent way of checking in R whether a given file exists in the user's filespace?

Hello, I've been looking in the on-line manuals and searching past posts but can't find an answer to this question. I'd like to define my own variance function in a GLM. The function glm(formula, family=quasi(var="var function")) lets me choose from a selection of built in variances, but I want to define my own function for the variance. Is there an S-plus

Has anyone tried to build R on Suns by linking to the versions of BLAS and LINPACK in the Sun Performance Library rather than the standard versions included in the distribution? On the face of it this would seem to be a highly desirable thing to do since these versions of the routines are more efficient and can exploit parallelism on multiprocessor machines.
