similar to: R-0.64.2 vs Spls 5.0

Dear R makers and users. I summarize answers to my question. Thanks for your help. The conclusion seems to be that, in terms of performance with large datasets, Matlab=Octave > R > Splus5.1 > Splus5.0 but Matlab/Octave lack many of the stat functions of R/S, and, R does not have as many time-series functions as S+ (but see last message to r-announce by adrian.trapletti at

I've rolled up R-0.64.2.tgz a moment ago. However, due to a configuration error with the new machine at Auckland, it is not up for FTP from there just yet. In any case, you shouldn't get it from Auckland, but wait for it to be mirrored at a CRAN site near you within a day or two. For those who are too curious to wait, I've put a copy in

Thanks to the many people who adviced me on this topic. xfig works very well, at least for what I have to do now.

Hi! I'm trying to use R. In S+ I use to have different projects in different directories. To make the functions and other objects from a directory available and to use that directory as default, I just do: attach(directory, pos = 1) where directory is, for example, "/home/alobo/S/bolivia1" Acutually, I have a simpe function (work) to do this: > work function(directorio) {

Dear R-users and R-developpers, I've not been able to find 3d graphics in R, like Splus spin() or brush(). Are there any that I've missed and/or is anybody working on implementing these type of functions?

Hi! I'm writing down the methods that I used to migrate from Splus to R and expand a bit the R docs for this subject. Prior to send these notes to the FAQ curator I would like to make sure on the following: Given an ascii text file with several functions (i.e., myfuncs.txt), is there any equivalent to load(), so that the functions become usable in R? Or is it necessary to install it as a

One of the few things that I miss from Splus is the ability of interactively add text and symbols to graphics that have been created by functions. I understand that the best solution in R is to create a graphic file and use external software for editing the graphic. I know what to use in the Win environment, but could anyone suggest what tools would be appropriate under Linux? Thanks Agus Dr.

Hi I would like to start by thanking everyone that replied. Thank you for the information, and for the comments about how or why you use it and thankx for the encouragement re my talk.... Please note that I do not claim to have ellicited a reply from all users of R, this is a quick survey not a census. I have tried to break the responces down to the following categories: Where: (hopefully

I've tried to move objects from S to R. In S+, I use data.dump() and data.restore(). I've made a file all.dum using data.dump(ls()) in S+, but the R command load("all.dum") gives an error: > load("/jaz/all.dum") Error: restore file corrupted -- no data loaded Is there any way to pass my objects from S+ to R? Thanks Agus Dr. Agustin Lobo Instituto de Ciencias de

Does anybody know if there are functions to: 1. Define a convex hull on a space with more than 2 dimensions? chull just works for a plane. 2. Numerically select elements within a given complex hull.

Thanks for your help on moving files from S+ to R and on attaching directories. If attaching directories is NOT possible in R, is there any other way to separate objects into different folders or something similar? For example, to keep user functions for multivariate analysis in a different "place" than user functions on time series, or to keep data objects of project_1 in a different

I would like to fit a model of the type Y = Xf + e where f are cover fractions (or percent cover). Therefore, I must constrain the fit to 1. sum(f) = 1 2. 0<= f <=1 How can I introduce these 2 constraints in a ML fit? Currently, I'm using nlregb and I'm using the "upper and low" keywords to set the bounds and use the following to ensure that sum(f) = 1: let's say

Hi all I have been trying to use the randomForest package to model insect species abundance in different habitats and identify the key variables (landscape/climate etc) in determining abundance, which has all worked fine and I get nice variable importance plots etc. Many thanks to everyone on this help forum who has given tips/advice along the way. But the percentage variance explained /pseudo r

Hi, (First, apology for my earlier incorrectly addressed "subscribe" post.) Can somebody tell me what exactly is going on below. Basically, I am running into some kind of "string truncation" problem when I try to get a substring starting past the 8192nd character (see sample session below). There doesn't appear to be any problem creating the string, and nchar()

I'm attaching an small text file on "Getting your stuff organized in R". (Sorry if sending an attachment is not considered a correct etiquette in r-help, but this is only 7911 bytes, plain ascii text and I cannot post it in a web page at the moment). Probably all the information in this document is scattered in one or more R introduction guides, but I think that it is useful to have
