Dear all, Many thanks to all who always so quickly respond with helpful hints! Currently I am working with R 0.63.1 on SuSE 5.2 which I installed this morning within about half an hour: my deepest compliments to the developpers! (I had still 0.62.2 before.) This time I am trying the following: > xy <- list (a= c (1, 2, NA), b= c (2, 3)) > list.name <- "xy" > get

Dear all, well, today I just seem to run into these problems ... (I am still working on R 0.63.1 on a SuSE 5.2). I would like to have a data.frame that also contains character (and NOT factor) vectors. Two things that I tried (the second worked in R 0.62.2): > test.df <- data.frame (X= character (4)) > test.df$X [1] <- "a" Warning: invalid factor level, NAs generated or:

Dear all, The following works with a simple result of lm but gives the error with a more complicated one (could this be due to singularities that occurr in the model?). > cooks.distance (X) Error: NAs in foreign function call (arg 6) > class (X) [1] "lm" But, actually, I would like to ask a more general question: Is there a place (I searched in the CRAN site) where I find

Dear all, I am working with R Version 0.62.2 (July 10, 1998) on a SuSE Linux 5.2. I have troubles in understanding the function image (). Can someone enlighten me? I'd like to draw a square image-plot (with every little part of the image a square as well) and add some (straight) lines to it. Also, I create an empty z matrix which I need to fill step by step. Thus I tried to find out how

Dear all, I would like to use the biological symbols for male and female as plotting symbols in a scatterplot (ideally filled and non-filled). R does not seem to have these symbols using pch= in plot() nor are they implemented via expression() or at least I did not find them. I found that the symbols are e.g. available in the wasysym and the marvosym package in LaTeX. I have coded two very rough

Dear all, I think this question has been raised very recently but I think I didn't see repsonses on the list nor did I find the thread in the archives. (If it is there I'd appreciate directions ...) I am about to install Linux on a Compaq notebook. One important thing I want to do is being able to run R. I have fiddled with different distributions of Linux (LST, SuSE, Debian) and can

Dear all, in a current project I have a pretty huge .Rdata. Thus I was working with R --vsize 100 --nsize 1000000. Today when I tried to restart R I get the following error message: Error: a read error occured Fatal error: unable to restore saved data (remove .RData or increase memory) I increased memory up to --vsize 180 and --nsize 2000000, but the error reoccurrs. Is there a way to know

Hi, Another question about graphics... Suppose I have: par(mfrow = c(4, 6)) which will set up a figure region for 24 plots. But, I actually only need 23 plots. In fact I wrote a little function, foo.plot, which will draw all the 23 plots at once with: foo.plot(x) where x is a data frame. Now, suppose I want to draw several set of these 23 plots, but want to put them all in one postscript

Full_Name: Steve Ellison Version: 2.4.1 OS: Windows, Linux Submission from: (NULL) (194.73.101.157) bxp() allows specifcation of box locations with at=, but neither adjusts xlim= to fit at nor does it respect xlim provided explicitly. This is because bxp() now includes explicit xlim as c(0.5, n+0.5), without checking for explicitly supplied xlim (or ylim if horizontal). This also prevents

I'm graphing a series of boxplots of grouped data inside a function that passes the data.frame, the names vector, and a title vector. Because both the data subset changes with each successive pass through the function, occasionally the names vector turns up with only one group to plot. This is an expected result. However, when the names argument in boxplot has only a single name, it

Dear all, I do not seem to grasp how contrasts are set for ordered factors. Perhaps someone can elighten me? When I work with ordered factors, I would often like to be able to reduce the used polynomial to a simpler one (where possible). Thus, I would like to explicetly code the polynomial but ideally, the intial model (thus, the full polynomial) would be identical to one with an ordered factor.

Full_Name: Bob O'Hara Version: 2.6.0 OS: Windows XP Submission from: (NULL) (88.112.20.250) Using horizontal=TRUE with boxplot() confuses it as to what is an x- or y-axis. At least, xlim= and ylim= are the wrong way round, log="x" (or "y") and xaxt= work as expected, I haven't looked at anything else. Some code to see if you can reproduce the bug (or discover

Dear R-core team, I think I found a small inconsistency in the boxplot function. I don't want to post it as a bug since I'm not sure this might be considered as one according to the FAQ --- and this is not a major problem. Don't hesitate to tell me if I'm wrong. If you try to do a boxplot on a matrix and set the "at" argument to some vector different from 1:n, n is the

Dear R users, I have not found anything on this in the archives. Does anyone know whehther the parameter use= is not functioning in cor or enlighten me what it is supposed to do? My R version is "R version 1.8.1, 2003-11-21" on Windows 2000. I am hoping to be able to update to 1.9.1 as soon as it has appeared (we are not allowed here to install software on our own and thus I am trying

Hi, the graphical parameter "cex.axis" does not have any affect for "boxplot": data(iris) boxplot(iris[,1:4], ylab="y", cex.lab=2, cex.axis=2) The patch is simply adding "cex.axis" to the search for axis relevant parameters in "bxp": ax.pars <- pars[names(pars) %in% c("xaxt", "yaxt", "las",

When plotting using the cex.axis argument to boxplot(), the size of the plotting symbols beyond the whiskers of the boxplot are being changes. Example: par(mfrow=c(2,1)) boxplot(c(rnorm(10), 10), horizontal=TRUE, main="Test", las=2, cex.axis=2) boxplot(c(rnorm(10), 10), horizontal=TRUE, main="Test", las=2, cex.axis=1) This is from the following line in bxp()

Hi! I am trying to get the tick / label under a stacked boxplot with only a single data row. With >=2 rows it works, but with a single one the tick resp. my class name is not printed below the boxplot. Can anybody point me to what am I doing wrong? For example: boxplot(data.frame(c(3,4,5)),names=list("a"),beside=F) Here, I would like to have the "a" below the single

There seems to be a problem with partial matching of argument names in boxplot(), in respect of the "horizontal" argument. I don't recall seeing this issue discussed previously. My apologies if I am being redundant. (A scan of CRAN revealed that someone had experienced problems with the "horizontal" argument, but he was spelling it out in full, so that was a different
