Dear r-helpers, I have some multiplot figures that I would like to annotate. To each plot frame I would like to add the associated correlation coefficients. To do so, I believe I need to understand the usage of `expression' better. The following is a good start. petstring <- expression(paste(r[rho*p],"=" )) mtext(petstring, line=0.3, adj=0.1, cex=0.8) My question is,

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

I am having trouble assigning a name to single columns in a dataframe. The following is an example using 0.64.1 and linux. tmp is a dataframe. > names(tmp) [1] "some" "thing" > names(tmp)<-c("else","again") > names(tmp) [1] "else" "again" > names(tmp[2]) [1] "again" >

HI All, I am trying to analyse the results of a heap of samples, to determine how many samples are required to meet a defined confidence interval. I checked out the R manual for bootstrapping and re-sampling methods, but did not find anything. Are there any contributed procedures that deal with this? thanks, Matt Redding Soil Scientist Intensive Livestock Environmental Management-Research

R-helpers, When I source("tmp.r") a file from within R, the code executes without error. When I launch with 'R --no-save --no-restore < tmp.r', the code sometimes appears to cause some type of buffer overflow and nothing gets executed. tmp.r contains: myData<-c(1,0, ... long vector of numbers) followed by a new line character and then some code to operate on myData. It

Hi, I tried to calculate the formula for the birthday problem (the probability that at least two people out of a group of n people share the same birthday) But the factorial-function allows me only to calculate factorials up to 170. So is there a way to push that limit? to solve this formula: (factorial(365) / factorial((365-23))) / (365^23) (n=23)

Good day: Let's say that I have a data frame in S-Plus 2000 (Win98 version). I want to use the same data frame with R on another computer. Questions: 1) Can R read S-Plus data frames? Can S-Plus 2000 read R data frames? 2) How can i move the data frame between the two systems? Do I need to use dump()? Thank you.

Hi all, Does anybody know if it is possible to build a fractional factorial design in R? That is, suppose that we want do design an experiment with 3 factors with 2, 3 and 3 levels, respectivly. However we want to consider, let's say, only 6 from all possible level combinations. Does R design such experiment? Thanks in advance, Caio [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Dear all, I want to install R-0.65.0 on mips-sgi-irix6.5 (SGI IRIX 6.5 IP32), but it doesn't work !!!

Howdy! Could somebody point me to some good introductory readings about data mining and descriptive data analysis? I'm a psychologist and a couple of times I realized that some things just don't appear in psychological literature, e.g. I've never seen a box plot anywhere in psych journals so I'm not familiar with them. The R help function is great when it comes to explaining

Dear R-user, I wish to know if someone is using R as concern Datamining or KDD (Knowledge Discovery in Database) and if already exists a R package specialized in this kind of analysis. I found this contributes on the R web site: [20] Diego Kuonen. Introduction au data mining avec R : vers la reconqu??te du `knowledge discovery in databases' par les statisticiens.

I am working on a project that requires me to do very large factorial evaluations. On R the built in factorial function and the one I created both are not able to do factorials over 170. The first gives an error and mine return Inf. Is there a way to have R do these larger calculations (the calculator in accessories can do 10000 factorial and Maple can do even larger) -- View this message in

Dear R friends, I was wondering if there were factorial and modulus functions out there that I've somehow overlooked? -P. -- Peter L.

I'm a total newbie at using R, and so there probably is a better way to do this. However, I couldn't find one, and so maybe this will help someone. I was calculating log-likelihoods using a multinomial model, and found that for large n, prod(n:1) wouldn't work to calculate factorials (e.g., prod(200:1) = Inf). The below function calculates the natural log of a factorial (e.g.
