Hi all I have a couple of obscure questions for R/Splus experts (which unfortunately isn't me!) I am trying to compute Bayes Factors using some Splus code of Raftery in Gilks et al (1996). Only problem is 1) R doesn't seem to have a robust covariance (cov.mve) which I suspect I need rather than a non-robust classical estimate 2) Splus has cov.mve BUT dgamma in Splus doesn't have a

Hi Computing services here at QUT are trying to compile R0.61.2 for me on a silicon graphics computer running IRIX Release 6.2 IP25 and gcc. %gcc -v Reading specs from /usr/gnu/lib/gcc-lib/mips-sgi-irix5.3/2.7.2.2/specs gcc version 2.7.2.2 %perl -v This is perl, version 5.004_04 built for irix Basically, it was impossible for me even to get R configured although under Linux RH4.2 and DEC ALPHA

I have an instance where I need to include Greek letters on a plot title that is multiple lines. ? I've searched the forums for an approach to do this, but most of the previous posts and replies seem to just address instances of single line examples and problems:, e.g. ? https://stat.ethz.ch/pipermail/r-help/1999-October/005096.html ? I tried implementing those suggestions, e.g.

Dear R-help, I am trying to express myself as best as I can here. If you also use Latex to edit math reports or other languages with similar editing method, you'll see what I'm talking about. My sincere appologies if my question is not clear enough to some extend, as also I'm not able to provide my code here because I don`t know which one I can use... When editing the title in R

I'm using R-2.6.2 on Fedora Linux 9. I've been experimenting with plotmath. I wish it were easier to combine expressions in plotmath with values from the R program itself. There are two parameters in the following example, the mean "mymean" and standard deviation "mystd". I am able to use bquote to write elements into the graph title like mu = mymean and R will

a graph question. Thanks a lot in advance. I made two scatterplots on one graph (sigma vs. delta1, sigma vs. delta2) (20 observations of delta1, delta2 and corresponding sigma) the x-axis is sigma, the y-axis is either delta1 or delta2. I connected both scatterplots. To seperate them, one curves is a line with circles, the other curve is a line with squares on it. I want to make a notation

Hi I just discovered R and it looks great under Windows NT4 or linux! I now can't put off learning SPlus. Other than learning S/S+ I also was hoping to use R for CODA a S+ MCMC diagnostics package. However, I am thwarted by R not having a restart function (and I suspect maybe other things too which I'm not aware of!). Although I suspect it may not be trivial, has anyone looked at

Hi Sorry to bother list members with this query but I can't find any relavent documentation. I just installed R-base-0.50.a4-1.i386.rpm for redhat linux but am missing a library file. rpm complained and so does R. When I try to run R I get /usr/lib/R/bin/R.binary: can't load library 'libf2c.so.0' What else do I need to install - i have g77 0.5.20 which works fine but not f2c as

Thanks to the efforts of Jason Andrade at AARNET and the CRAN people there is now an Australian mirror of CRAN/R. The mirror will be updated daily. It is http://mirror.aarnet.edu.au/CRAN/ ftp://mirror.aarnet.edu.au/pub/CRAN/ To quote the web page "R, also known as `GNU S', is a system for statistical computation and graphics. It consists of a language plus a run-time environment with

Hi all, I want the y-axis label to be ( in symbols) g(sigma given alpha) where given is the conditional sign. I've tried ylab=expression(g(sigma|alpha))) but it gave me g(|(sigma,alpha)) where the sigma and alpha are in greek but the conditional sign is misplaced (before the bracket) Any help would be appreciated.

In plot() I can get greek symbols into text items without trouble. However, some of the same commands don't work as I would expect with hist(). See the example below. > plot(1:10, 2:11, xlab=expression(paste("scaled", rho))) ---- works as expected, ie. prints the greek rho > hist(c(0,0,0,0,4,5,6,6,6,8), xlab=expression(paste("scaled", rho))) Error: Object

Hi, I desperately try to do s.th. like m=1.23455 sig=0.84321 plot(1,1) text(0.8,1,sprintf("<Sigma>=%1.2f?%1.2f",m,sig)) where actually the greek letter should appear for Sigma. I have tried all sorts of combinations with expression and paste etc. but could not work it out. Maybe someone has an idea and can help me. Thanks a lot+ Thomas

Hi, I am having troubles in putting greek letters and formatted text in a plot m=1.43432 sig=0.124333 text(10.5,0.07,sprintf("<Sigma>=%1.2f±%1.2f",m,sig)) I would like to have the greek letter Sigma followed by the formatted numeric values of m and sig. Does someone know a solution? thanks a lot Thomas --------------------------------- Thomas Bschorr Department of Physics

Hello, I am plotting a 3D function using persp and I would like to use greek symbols in the axes labels. I have found examples like this one on the web: plot(0,0,xlab=expression(kappa[lambda]),ylab=substitute(paste(phi,"=",true,sigma),list(true=5))) this works well with plot but not with persp: with the command persp(M,theta = -20,phi =

R listers: I have been foiled by plotmath! (in R 2.01,Windows 2000) The task: Plot a normal density and label the ticks as mu - 3 sigma, mu - 2 sigma, ...., mu + 3 sigma, where the mu's and sigmas appear as Greek symbols, of course. The following code does this: x<-seq(-3,to=3,by=.01) y<-dnorm(x) plot(x,y,type='h',col='lightblue',axes=FALSE)

I've been testing plotmath. But I'm getting some funny output one one computer. The problem is that characters are 'jumbled' and overstrike when symbols are introduced. Sample code: mu <- 440.0 sigma <- 12.5 myx <- seq( mu - 4*sigma, mu+ 4*sigma, length.out=500) myDensity <- dnorm(myx,mean=mu,sd=sigma) # Here's one way to retrieve the values of mu and sigma and

I have tried to print a table of greek alphabet names and symbols without success. I can print one character at a time but can't seem to find a way to automate an entire list of the symbols. Some of the code I have tried is below. I have searched on help, worked the examples in the December 2002 R Help Desk article and plotmath but have not been able to find a way to accomplish the

I'm trying to annotate a density plot and I would like to have R calculate the standard deviation and place it in the plot next to the standard deviation symbol "sigma". I can successfully use the text command to paste "StDev =",round(sd(Data),digits=3)) on the plot. However, I have trouble when I want to replace "StDev" with the Greek symbol sigma (See code

Dear all, I am running a MCMC on my data, and I want to plot the results of the simulation. I want to dedicate a page in the PS file for each element in my sample, and in each page I need to plot 8 quadrants. In attachment you find my first attemp (just the first page). Here are my troubles (I'm sorry if they are stupid, but I am a newby with R): -) I need to substitute the greek letters

Dear All, I am wondering if R now has a similar function to inspect in Splus? Someone post this question in 1999 and the answer was no, and I am wondering if this function has been developed in 2003?
