Hi, does anyone out there have a recommendation for multilevel / random effects and longitudinal analysis? My dream book would be something that's both accessible to a non-statistician but rigorous (because I seem to be slowly turning into a statistician) and ideally would use R. Peter

In discussing permutation tests, _Modern Applied Statistics With S Plus_ suggests this (IMHO) rather elegant approach to generating a distribution of t-tests: d<- ...some data... ttest <- function(x) mean(x)/sqrt(var(x)/length(x)) n<-1000 res<-numeric(n) for(i in 1:n) res[i] <- ttest(x<-d*sign(runif(10)-0.5) The problem is that the sign(runif) results in random permutation of

Dear all R users I have been trying to plot a group of intervals by using the bottom code: > breaks <- factor(cut(col3,breaks=360+5*(0:155))) > par(tck=0,lty="solid") > plot(breaks,ann=FALSE,axes=FALSE) col3 is just a column of 1500 floating point data. Unfortunately when i do the plot, the x-axis has some of the intervals as labels dispite me having both 'ann'

I was wondering is there anything in R that allows better presentated tables. I think in S-Plus there is something like a LaTeX command that allows such things to be used and formatted in LaTeX. This is probably a bit much but just something that could be output to both the X11 or a postscript file Thank you for any suggestions Nikita Atkins nda at mailcall.com.au Mail Call Couriers PO BOX

Hi there, I'm using R1.0.1 Windows 98. This file contains some inputs and an aov function code. Can someone check it for me? Somehow I got completely different answer when typing them in R and in Splus. Splus gives me this: > summary( Turnip.aov ) Error: Blocks Df Sum of Sq Mean Sq F Value Pr(F) Residuals 3 163.7367 54.57891 Error: Plots %in% Blocks

With Tony Rossini's help we have established anonymous CVS access to a read-only copy of the main R CVS tree at cvs.r-project.org. This would be of interest primarily to those who want to track the development version (and who have access to CVS, of course). To use anonymous cvs you must log in to the server under the name "anoncvs" and with the password "anoncvs". You

Does anyone know of any comprehensive literature (like a book, collection of articles, etc.) that walk thorugh example of ARIMA modeling with the ts package of R? Genarlly if you've just started to learn the R-language and are all week long with ARIMA, what is a fast-pace source that you would recommend (to a beginner) ? Thank you, Krasi

I'd like to make axis titles, chart titles, legends and the like mathematically nice (e.g., have proper superscripts and subscripts, variables in italics, and so on). Ideally, one could go into ``math mode" a la LaTeX, and write something like plot(blah, xlab="Methane in $\mbox{cm}^3$ / g", blah). This is just an ideal, but it would be nice. Is some approximation of this

Hey everyone, What am I doing wrong? I loaded the MASS package with library(MASS), and now when I type library() I get > library() Packages in library `F:\r\rw0651/library': MASS Main Library of Venables and Ripley's MASS base The R base package . . . That's fine. The problem is that when I try to use a function that I know is built

I have sort of an emergency question for the list. One of my professors for an S-Plus intensive class distributed a function to produce partial regression plots. I need to run it under R, because I'm doing the homework on my home computer with a modem; hence I don't have the speed required to emulate X-Windows and run S Plus off one of the campus servers. Bottom line: I'm using R.

Greetings- I'm working through Pinheiro and Bates' _Mixed Effects Models in S and S-Plus_ using R (1.3.1 for linux). On page 13 (okay, so I haven't got that far :)) is: plot.design( ergoStool) which returns on my system: > plot.design(ergoStool) Error: couldn't find function "plot.design" any ideas? Thanks.

I posted this to the sci.math newsgroup but didn't get any responses so I was hoping someone here could help. I have a number of items with "distances" of differences between each other. What I want to do is to plot each item on a two dimensional plot such that the positions on the plot indicate the approximate distance between each item. What I want to look at, basically, is a map

Potentially Stupid Question Department: I just tried to load a few packages in a row. First I loaded MASS, then tseries, then nls. A typical error message from the last two looked like this: Attaching Package "package:nls": The following object(s) are masked from package:MASS : profile Is this a big deal? Does it mean that I lose any functionality from the

Hey everyone, Might it be possible for future versions of PC-R to highlight the opening brace in a pair, a la emacs? Programs that do that are infinitely friendlier than those that don't.

Hello, I recall reading a thread months ago on this mailing list about handling very datasets under R, but I can't seem to find it. This has become particularly important recently, because I've been playing with a dataset containing information about every fatal car accident in the U.S. since 1975; in total, the relevant files are about 120 megs. I'd like to load all of these into R

Dear developers, I wonder would you consider making a save to a graphics file format (as opposed to ps)? What prompts this is that we have just finished my wife's thesis using R heavily for stats and graphs. The combination of latex, bibtex and R generated .eps worked a treat and we were very pleased with both the final outcome and the efficiency of gernerating it, especially when all the
