Dear All, With a colleague we are writing a paper where we show how R is a very nice tool to deal with some issues in the analyses of data in evolutionary biology. For the intro, I wonder if 1) Anybody has any rough idea of how many people might be using R or how many people have downloaded R, or similar (I am aware answering this question might require divinatory powers...). 2) Have/are any

Dear All, When generating pdf documentation for a package (using R CMD Rd2dvi --pdf), is there a way to get the date to use the typical international standard of day month year instead of the US one of month day, year? Thanks, Ramon -- Ramón Díaz-Uriarte Dept. Zoology and Statistics University of Wisconsin-Madison Madison, WI 53706-1381 email: rdiazuri at students.wisc.edu (NOTE: starting

Is it appropriate to use stepAIC (library MASS) with coxph objects (from library survival5) that use "cluster(id)"? It is my understanding that, when using "cluster(id)", we can test for sets of terms by using the methods in Wei et al., (1989; JASA, 84: 1065-1073), or as explained in pp. 53 and ff. of the survival.ps document. But if we use a likelihood ratio test instead

Dear All, The help for prcomp, under "Value" says: sdev: the standard deviation of the principal components (i.e., the eigenvalues of the cov matrix, though the calculation is actually done with the singular values of the data matrix). The way I read it, it implies that the sdev are the eigenvalues, but I think that sdev is actually the square root of the

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.

Hi all, I want to plot a series "x" and I want to put on title "Time evolution with alpha=0.2", e.g., plot(x, main="Time evotion with alpha=0.2",col="orange") Is there any posibility to put the greek letter and avoid written the word? Many thanks in advance. [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Hi, Does any one knows how to include greek letters in plot labels and plot titles ? Thanks a lot paul --- [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

I would like to add the greek letter mu to replace u in my title shown below. main="R=[0.001uM]:A=[750uM]" i tried using main=expression(R=[0.001~mu~M]:A=[750~mu~M]) but this is not working at the moment. any help is appreciated thanks in advance [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Hello This is a problem I encountered repeatedly and I found no answer that made me really happy. I hope it is not too trivial. I would like to give the concentration of a substance in a plot title: 5 ug/ml substance the '5' would be a variable and the ug should be micrograms (with greek letter mu). It is the mu that causes the problems for me. I failed using various combinations of

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

Hi, all. I know that this is probably something that others have asked, but I can't find a reference in either the FAQ or the help pages. I'm trying to find a way to put Greek letters as a label of the plot *with* a value from the data. Previously I've used pasted and the word "rho". * paste("rho=", cor2[i]) will produce a label of

Hi all, I have one question on xyplot() function. I am trying to produce a graph by this code. tmp <- data.frame(a=rnorm(20), b=rnorm(20), rho=factor(rep(1:2, c(10,10))), k=factor(rep(1:5,4))) tmp.lattice <- xyplot(a ~ b | rho*k, data=tmp, par.strip.text=list(font=5), strip=function(...) strip.default(...,

I'm trying to annotate some graphics using plotmath and finding out that the code I'm using isn't bolding the greek letters - it bolds the rest (once I adjusted the numerics to characters), it's just failing on the greek characters. Any suggestions welcomed. Jim Price. Cardiome Pharma Corp. Test code: plot(1:5, type = 'n') # The not bold version text(2, 2:4, cex =

Hi, I want to write in x axis label "fitted value of lambda" (lambda in greek letter). xlab=expression(lambda) gives the "lambda", I tryed things like xlab=paste ("fitted value of ", expression(lambda)) but I didn't get the greek letter. Thanks in advance for any hint. Antonio Olinto ------------------------------------------------- WebMail Bignet - O seu

Dear RGL experts, I haven't been able to add greek letters to my rgl plot3d. I have tried "expression" with no success. Here is the interested bit: > library(rgl) > cb <- cube3d() > plot3d(cb,xlab=expression(alpha),ylab="",zlab="",box=FALSE,alpha=0.5) The expression(alpha) appears as "alpha", rather than as a greek symbol. I suspect greek

Dear All, I think I am confused about how I'd be able to use zlib starting with R 2.7.0. I just downloaded the latest development version, built it, etc, but I am not able to find the zlib.h that, I believe, R should place somewhere under "where/you/want/R/to/go" (from --prefix=/where/you/want/R/to/go). There seem to be entry points for zlib in the binary (e.g., grep -r gzopen ./

Hi, I need to add on a plot text containing italic Greek characters using the function mtext (i.e. I cannot use Hershey vectors). The characters are nicely displayed when the file is saved as png but not when saved as eps. See code below as example: #postscript('test.eps') png('test.png') plot(1,1, type = 'n') mtext(side = 3, line = 2,

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.

Dear R user community I wanted to use "bgroup" for plotting a math formula with a big "{" on the left, and nothing on the right. i used text( 10, 10, pos=4, cex=1.8, expression(F(x) == bgroup("{", x, "")), ...) on a 40 x 20 plot. surprisingly, bgroup sets "Phi(xi) = { xi" i.e. replaces alphabetic characters with greek letters in the entire
