Hi again Sorry, in looking again at sammon and isoMDS I see that they seem to do exactly what I want, except that they are non-metric, which means, as I understand it, that they relate the rank orders of the variables rather than the actual distances. Could I use these non-metric MDS packages even if my distances are metric? Thanks Karen -- Karen Kotschy Centre for Water in the Environment

Dear helpRs Does anyone have an elegant way of doing the following: For a given numeric vector, e.g. vec <- c(3,2,6,4,7) Create a series of vectors where all but 1 of the values are replaced by 0's, e.g. vec.a <- c(3,0,0,0,0) vec.b <- c(0,2,0,0,0) vec.c <- c(0,0,6,0,0) vec.d <- c(0,0,0,4,0) vec.e <- c(0,0,0,0,7) I have looked at `replace', but can't think of a

Hi everyone I'm trying to generate a vector of the form a <- c(1,2,3,4,1,2,3,1,2,1) where n = 5 in a general way, where n can be any positive integer. I've run out of ideas. Does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks Karen Karen Kotschy Centre for Water in the Environment University of the Witwatersrand Johannesburg Tel: 011 716-2218

Another question: Is it possible to move R objects from one directory to another without copying the whole .RData and .Rhistory files?

Hi Could somebody please explain the following to me: If x is a 10x10 matrix, typing x[3] prints all 10 values of column 3, although the length of the vector =1. Why? x[,3] and x[[3]] both give all 10 values of column 3, length=10. What is the difference between these two, actually?

Dear R list Would anyone be able to tell me whether it is possible to do "enhanced multidimensional scaling" (enhanced MDS) in R? In other words, something that goes beyond "cmdscale" by iteratively improving the fit between observed dissimilarities and inter-object distances, using the KYST algorithm (Kruskal, 1964). I have found several implementations of non-metric MDS

Hi R users Does anyone out there have a better/quicker way of adding a factor column to a data frame based on levels of another factor? I have a (large) data frame consisting of records for individual plants, each represented by a unique ID number. The species of each plant is indicated in the column "species", which is a factor column with many different levels (species). There are

Dear R users I have a question which is only partly related to R, but I'm sending it to this list in the hope that someone with a better statistical background than mine will be kind enough to help me. It concerns multiple comparison testing in ANOVA. I know this subject has been raised before on this list, and I have looked through the relevant messages and read the article in

Hi I asked a while ago about multiple comparison tests for use with multi--way ANOVAs. Thanks to all those who replied and gave me some ideas and functions. What I ended up doing was writing my own function for Tukey's HSD test (ref: Zar's Biostatistics pg 186-190), as this was the procedure I could best understand. I've included my function here for those who may be interested.

Hello again I'm trying to put error bars onto a barplot. I've tried something that Bill Simpson suggested a while ago, ie: x<-c(1,2,3,4,5) y<-c(1.1, 2.3, 3.0, 3.9, 5.1) ucl<-c(1.3, 2.4, 3.5, 4.1, 5.3) lcl<-c(.9, 1.8, 2.7, 3.8, 5.0) plot(x,y, ylim=range(c(lcl,ucl))) arrows(x,ucl,x,lcl,length=.05,angle=90,code=3) #or segments(x,ucl,x,lcl) but I can't get it to work on a

Dear R community I sent a message out a while ago asking for help with multiple comparison tests for ANOVA's, but haven't had any response yet. I'm sending a final desperate plea. If I can't get this done in R I'm going to have to redo a whole lot of stuff in a commercial package, which I'm REALLY not keen to do! My problem is how to implement these tests in R. Below

Dear R community Have just recently got back into R after a long break and have been amazed at how much it has grown, and how active the list is! Thank you so much to all those who contribute to this amazing project. My question: I am trying to calculate Mahalanobis distances for a matrix called "fgmatrix" >dim(fgmatrix) [1] 76 15 >fg.cov <- cov.wt(fgmatrix)

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi! I have a user who is running a Samba server to store data files for his ArcView 3.3 application. Client operating system is Windows XP professional. With Samba2 (2.2.8a) this was working quite fine, it usually took less than a few seconds to load and render one of the GIS presentations with ArcView. We then did an upgrade to Samba3 (3.0.20b)

Dear All, Has anyone worked with linking R to both ArcView and MapInfo GIS systems? My desire is to capture object selection from GIS and pass to R and to return spatially based statistical model results from R to GIS. If both could simultaneously access the same data file this would be a bonus. My inclination is to put together some routines based on ODBC linking but thought I would seek like

Hello to all, I am using ArcView 3.2 under Wine. For now I have been able to do what I need, except for the projection utility... it seems that I am missing some dll, but I have no clue which ones could be... If somebody knows the solution, please let me know. I am new to Wine, and have no clue how to search for the right dll... Thanks a lot to all of you and to this great Wine-project!!! Petra

Have you checked the network end of things? This is the same type of thing I see when the NIC and ethernet switch don't autonegotiate to the same settings. Hope I didn't step on anybody's toes here.

The main limitation of the shapefiles package that I put together is that it does not create shapefiles from R objects - rather it only writes shapefiles that have been read into R and manipulated within the constraints of the existing file structure. By this I mean that for example you can change the coordinates of points and write them back out. Or you can add a bunch of blank columns in the

"worked" (except mostly font glitches & help) on Wine 1.2.3 on Ubuntu 10.04 LTS since I installed it ~6 months ago. I used it daily, until 4 days ago, about the time I installed QGIS.

Hello all, Just curious if anyone else has a SAMBA server that is serving up AutoCad and ArcView files to users on Windows. We are utilizing a RAID 5 setup on dual 2.8 GHZ 4 GB RAM Intel Controller card (all latest firmware, BIOS etc...etc..) Only 4 users are accessing the server, but it seems after a few days the server starts to choke up, lock files, and it causes a hardware issue. (We
