Thanks to Peter Dalgaard's message, I learned a bit more about the 'par' function and rewrote my HTML help file accordingly. Is it appropriate to submit such changes somewhere to improve the documentation? I would also be willing to write some missing documentation as well.

Dear All, Is there any simple way to way to produce "rank", for a given list, but in a descending order? E.G: x = list(a=c(1,5,2,4)); rank(x$a); produces 1,4,2,3 However I am looking for a way to generate (4,1,3,2). It would be particularly nice if the proposed solution has all the niceties of rank function (like NA handling and ties.method functionality) TIA Manoj

I don't know the difference between rank and order.For example: > x=c(10,30,30,20,10,20) > x[rank(x,ties.method="first")] [1] 10 10 20 30 30 20 > x[order(x)] [1] 10 10 20 20 30 30 the result is quite different, x[rank(x,ties.method="first")] [1] 10 10 20 30 30 20 It is not sorted,why? -- View this message in context:

Hi All, I want to give ranks to elements in a column so I used: total_list$field1.rank <- rank(total_list$field1,ties.method="min") But this gives me the rank in increasing order. How do I get the ranks in decreasing order? I know decreasing = FALSE is not a legal argument here. Thanks.

Dear colleagues, I am looking for a package to analyze rank-order data in the form of regression. My outcome (dependent) variable is a rank ordering in the sense that the respondents to a  questionnaire were asked a single question: to assign the values 1 to 4 to four different objects (e.g. to rank four cars as best , second best etc). Their first preference was number 1, their second was 

Hi, Is there any simple solution to get ranks in descending order? Example, a <- c(10, 98, 98, 98, 99, 100) r <- rank(a, ties.method="average") produces 1 3 3 3 5 6 I would want this instead: 6 5 3 3 3 1 Note that reversing r doesn't work but in small examples.

While writing a function that includes placing grid lines at the same position as the axis ticks, I found that the axis* functions don't return anything. Thus I have had to copy the appropriate function, removing the call to axis() and adding a line to return the tick positions. Is there a more elegant way to determine the tick positions on an axis? Thanks. Jim (normally bitwrit at

Dear R-helpers, I would like to do a Spearman rank order test, and used the cor() function with the method "spearman". It gives me a number (correlation coefficient?) , but how can I get the p-value? Thank you for the help in advance! Regards, Anne-Katrin -- [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Hi , I ''ve got a trouble with using R. When I want to load a file that contains 93 thousand raws and 22 colums of data (essentially float) R shows me this error message "heap size trouble" Does anyone could tell me what parameter shall I precise before launching R in order to load my big file.

Hi, all, I am currently trying to learn this example. http://learnr.wordpress.com/2009/03/17/ggplot2-barplots/ I created the stack bar easily. If I would like to rank the stack bar from the highest on the right, shortest on the left and eventually I could show the data "1991-00" on the left and "1823-30" on the right, how could I do that? Apart from this, I find

I would like to find the rank of a matrix using R. Looking through a list of commands it seems that the command qr should do the job. Checking a simple example gave me the wrong answer. Here is the example: > A <- c(1,2,3,4,5,6) > A <- matrix(A, nrow=2, ncol=3) > A [,1] [,2] [,3] [1,] 1 3 5 [2,] 2 4 6 > qr(A)$rank [1] 3 The correct answer is two. I

I"ve got a data frame with a selection of columns I want to compute a rank-order correlation matrix from without disturbing the original data frame. foo[,c("a","b","d","f","g")] What I wanted to do, intuitively, was: > cor(rank(foo[,c("a","b","d","f","g")])) but rank in that context

I'm doing a study where people place a deck of cards in a certain order. It's sufficient to assume that their colors & each has a number (it's actually about attributes of hobbies). I'd like to look for patterns in how they've arranged the deck. For each subject I have a list like 3,5,2,4,1, indicating that (s)he chose 3 first, then 5, then 2. . . . I think what I first

1. UseMethod (via usemethod in objects.c) now uses the definition of class() to dispatch, with the methods package attached (dataClass(x)) and without (attr(x, "class")). Packages using a construction of the form if(is.null(class(x))) class(x) <- data.class(x) UseMethod("foo") should now get similar dispatch with the methods package attached. 2. all.equal and some of its

Hi, Can anyone tell me what might cause this error message? Error in .Fortran("swallocate", as.double(mtx), as.double(wt), as.integer(n), : C/Fortran function name not in load table This occurs when I copied the Splus stepwise() function into R. I can source into R fine, but when I need to call that function on some dataset, I got the above error message. Platform
