similar to: R-beta: re-appearing workspace

I have a question on the use of return(). (Nothing on it in the docs I have) The test code below gives the error: Error: Object "x" not found when I do: thingy2(). How should it be fixed? Thanks very much for any help! (My original solution to this sort of problem was to use global variables x<<-... y<<-...) Bill Simpson ----------------------------- thingy<-function(k)

I find that if start R-2.6.0 in a workspace with no .RData file, load one of my workspaces from R-2.5.1 or earlier into R-2.6.0, and then before doing anything else type postscript(file="z.ps"), I get:: > ls() character(0) > load(url("http://www.maths.anu.edu.au/~johnm/r/test5.RData")) > postscript(file="z.ps") Error in postscript(file = "z.ps")

Dear all, I am a new user of R, here I have a question about remove the previous restored workspace. I saved the workspace last time, but R always automatically load the workspace when I open it. I try to remove the object and then close R without saving. But next time when I open R, it always load the previous workspace. I want to delete the .RData in the directory, but I have no clue

Hello [R]ians, I'm hoping someone can clarify the difference between a Workspace Image and Working Directory. I created a directory on my PC, say, "C:\Program Files\R\Project1" and then saved my objects in "C:\Program Files\R\Project1\.Rdata". Then, in a subsequent session, I reloaded these objects using > load("C:/Program Files/R/Project1/.RData") At

What is the best way (if possible) to pass the name of a workspace file to R when it starts so it is loaded instead of .RData ? I would like to know this for Linux and windows version. For windows I would like to associate the .RData extension so doubleclicking the file starts R and loads it. Thanks -- Victor Moreno V.Moreno at ico.scs.es Servei

When signing off R or trying to save a workspace in Windows XP pro SP2, I receive the following error message - save.image("C:\\Program Files\\R\\R-2.4.1\\Responses3.RData") Error in save.image("C:\\Program Files\\R\\R-2.4.1\\Responses3.RData") : recursive default argument reference Everything else seems to work fine, and the only function I have written

Hi list! I have recently tried to take my office work home, meaning that I tried to transfer my "... .RData" workspace from my PC on my laptop. The office PC runs on Windows XP and my laptop runs on Windows Vista. I have saved the workspace at the office PC and kept it in a usb drive. When I tried to open it on my laptop I got an error: "Fatal Error: Unable to restore saved data in

hi all, i can't call my custom R function. i'm using R 1.3.1 on Solaris with the SJava pkg from www.omegahat.org. This package let's me call R functions from Java, and it works great. i wrote a custom R function and saved it in the workspace. in my homedir, i noticed the file named .RData was created. i also noticed my workspace is ONLY restored if the current working dir (when i

Questions on image: 1) How can I put labels on the x and y axes? 2) How to tell it to use e.g. 32 grey levels (not some colour map)? 3) How to know what the legend is (i.e. each grey level = what z value)? Thanks very much for any help. BTW I was wondering if persp was on the To Do list. That would be great! Bill Simpson

Hello R, To analyze multi-level data, I started learning and using lmer. So far so wonderful. I then found some useful functions in package languageR. But then the following problem ocurred: Whenever I load and use the languageR package, then save the workspace - or quit R with saving the workspace - I am unable to reload that workspace in a later session. That is, R doesn't start at all

version .62: --------------------------------------------- > ?qpois The Poisson Distribution dpois(x, lambda) ppois(q, lambda) qpois(p, lambda) rpois(n, lambda) Arguments: x: vector of (positive) quantiles. p: vector of probabilities. n: number of random values to return. lambda: vector of positive means.

After some paper clipping problems I checked options() and saw that the default paper size was a4; I need US Letter. So as per instructions I uncommented the R_PAPERSIZE line in config.site, R_PAPERSIZE=letter Restarting R, everything is still the same though. I guess I have to reinstall? That seems awkward. Is there a way a prompt ("a4 or letter paper?") can be inserted in the

I would love to have bash-like command line editing in R. (Press up cursor and see previous command line; use left cursor to go back then edit it) Appendix B in Rnotes describes Splus I guess, not R. Starting R by R -e doesn't let any of the following described actions (B.3) work. I don't use vi or EMACs (I use Nedit), so I would prefer bash-like interface anyway. (I don't think I

I am running R-0.61.1 on linux under X. If I kill the R Graphics window (click on X box in upper right corner), then subsequently do x11(), R crashes. I find that things only work the right way if I close the graphics window using dev.off(). I was wondering if maybe it could be arranged that closing the graphics window via click would seem to R to be equivalent to typing dev.off(). BTW thanks

Can someone please tell me to make a density histogram? hist makes one with count or relative frequency on the y-axis. I want the density, which is (rel freq)/(bin width) In the help I see: intensities: values f^(x[i]), as estimated density values. If `all(diff(breaks) == 1)', they are the relative frequencies `counts/n' and in general satisfy

This surprised me. Is it the way it is supposed to be? > x<-c(1,2,3,4,5) > y<-c(1.2,1.3,1.4,1.5,NA) > x-y [1] -0.2 0.7 1.6 2.5 NA > (x-y)^2 [1] 0.04 0.49 2.56 6.25 NaN >>>so NA^2 = NaN? Why not still NA? > sum((x-y)^2) [1] NaN >>>yes that is reasonable So if you ever have a data set with missing observations (NAs), you can't do any nlm() least

If I do fit<-lm(y~x) Is it possible to access the SE of the slope? (Analogous to getting the slope like this: fit$coef[2]) If not, it would be handy. (I want SE of 1/slope, and an approx way is fit$se[2]/(fit$coef[2]^2)) Thanks for any help.

I tried to ?ms, ?nls and apparently these aren't implemented on R yet. However I seem to remember postings on this list having to do with fitting nonlinear models (no I don't mean GLM type fits, I have a REAL nonlinear model: y=ax^b + c). So please tell me if it is possible to fit nonlinear models in R (by least squares or ML). Thanks! Bill Simpson

I include the argument pty="s" to image, but still when I make an image by the method > postscript("rstuff/test.ps") > tauseq<-seq(0,1,.5) > cif2d.image(x,,y,tauseq) > dev.off() the image plot created is NOT square. I thought pty="s" would make it square. Generally it would be nice if the image saved to disk were like the one we see while in R

Saving your workspace means that the variables you currently have defined in your session [ everything that shows up when you type ls() ] are saved to a file, by default named ?.RData?. To restore the workspace, you use the ?Load Workspace? command and navigate to the (same) .RData file. Its default location for Windows, as far as I know, is your ?Documents? folder. So look there. I see that you
