Hi all, I want to write a wrapper for an analysis of variance and I face a curious problem. Here are two different wrappers: fun.1 <- function(formula) { summary(aov(formula)) } fun.2 <- function(formula) { oneway.test(formula) } values <- c(15, 8, 17, 7, 26, 12, 8, 11, 16, 9, 16, 24, 20, 19, 9, 17, 11, 8, 15, 6, 14) group <- rep(1:3, each=7) # While the first

Hi, How do you get the most common row from a matrix?

Hi All: I have written an R search plug-in based on Prof Jonathan Baron's R search site. This Firefox/Netscape plug-in lets you search R sites and R discussion group archives directly from your Mozilla (Seamonkey) or Firefox or Netscape browser.

Dear Group: I am working with a data frame containing 316 rows of individuals with 79 variables. Each of these 79 variables have values that range between -4 to +4, and I want to subset this data frame so that in the resulting new dataframe, values of _all_ of these variables should range between -3 and +3. Let's say I have the following dataframe (it's a toy example with 4 individuals

Hi All: Recently, I got a query how R compared cost-wise (cost of purchase, maintenance, and training manuals) with other proprietary statistical software programs (or programming environments). The request, verbatim: <--- begin quote ----> >> dear arin, >> >> can you please find out the price of the various >> prop. statistical >> packages that are in

Hi All, I am scheduled to teach a graduate course on research methods in health sciences at a university. While drafting the course proposal, I decided to include a brief introduction to R, primarily with an objective to enable the students to do data analysis using R. It is expected that enrolled students of this course have all at least a formal first level introduction to quantitative methods

Hi All: This follows my earlier post on webized slides on lecture presentation on introducing R. I learned that in Mozilla (Firefox) browsers, the slides did not show up. Sorry for the no show. As a reluctant windows user, I kind of carelessly clicked through Powerpoint to convert the presentation file to its html form, unwittingly leading to the mess. See if it got corrected now (I do not have

Hi All: I tried to update the package mgcv from my current version 1.1-8 to mgcv version 1.2.

Hi All: A couple of weeks back, I asked a question on the list that I was invited to provide an introductory lecture on R to a group of academicians in Kolkata. I thank all of you who had generously guided me in providing me web links and words to the wise. Time to give back.

Dear All, Folks at the West Bengal University of Technology has set up a mirror to distribute R and associated packages. Here is the URL: http://mirror.wbut.ac.in/CRAN This will be helpful for R users in South Asia and the adjoining countries. I have yet to see the site featured in the CRAN list of mirrors. What needs to be done? For those of you who are impatient and would like to give it a

Hi All: I was looking for, but could not locate in the packages, or in the R archive searches if there exists an R implementation of Cuzick's test of trend. The test is described as follows: An extension of the Wilcoxon rank-sum test is developed to handle the situation in which a variable is measured for individuals in three or more (ordered) groups and a non-parametric test for trend

Hi Group: >From an R session, I wanted to update packages, and issued the command: update.packages() R started to update the package "foreign" and proceeded. After downloading, while it attempted to install the packages, it came up with the following error message. I could not understand the error message. Does it indicate that the problem lies with the gcc? How do I install the

Dear R list, For some reason I am unable to access neither search.r-project.org, nor http://finzi.psych.upenn.edu/ so I cannot search the archives for a possible answer (I Googled for this but didn't find anything).

Hi All: I am interested in tools available in R that will enable me to run analysis of case crossover studies. I searched the web (http://www.google.com), and found that a tool called "funfit" was available for Splus. Searching the R archives, I also found mention of a "funfit" library. However, when I searched in CRAN, I could not find it. Is "funfit" now part of

Hi All: I am working on a dataset of a study on healthcare workers.

Dear List: Somewhere in the R-Statistical Software website, I remember having read about using the opensource Bluefish editor with R. During a recent visit to the site, I could not find the link or reference. Also, when I searched the list archives (http://maths.newcastle.edu.au/~rking/R/about.html) for "bluefish", the search returned no result. Has anyone in the list used

Dear R-Gurus: This afternoon I was installing the "Hmisc" package. I use R in Linux (Fedora Core 1 (yarrow)) on a Compaq presario with 128 MB RAM laptop. Opening an R session as a root user (superuser), I issued install.packages("Hmisc") and waited. R downloaded the package, installation was going on, and on the standard output I could see that a list of
