Hi, Would there be a function and/or some options to force R to write a value of say 1.0e-4 as "0.0001"? More specifically I want to use R to write ASCII file(s) for other programs to read and some of these programs don't know how to deal numbers in scientific notation or have a different convention. Thanks in advance. Yves Gauvreau B.E.F.P. Universit? du Qu?bec ? Montr?al cyg at

Hi, I tried running Rcmd.exe to no avail. It doesn't even start because it tries to read some memory address that NT says it can't and terminate. I tried downloading and reinstalling rw1020sp.zip with the installer twice just in case it got corrupted somehow in transport but it resulted in the same problem. What should I do? platform i386-pc-mingw32 arch x86 os Win32 system

Hi, I've installed the RODBC library, R1.000, NT 4.0. When I try to load it here is what I get: library(RODBC) Warning message: Package `RODBC' contains no R code in: library(RODBC) channel <- odbcConnect("PubsDSN", "sa", "password") # userId and password Error: couldn't find function "odbcConnect" Does anyone can shed some ligth on this

Hi, If I may suggest that something be done to the window drawing function of a plot. As it is now, we don't even have time to resize the window by a tiny bit before it's invoke and I think it would be an improvement if while the mouse is down the redrawing was delayed somehow. This is especially true when the plot is crowded. I also observed that moving the plot window around was a lot

Hi, I know it must be written somewhere but I can't find it. I'd like to remove all variables or objects that I've created but not the functions. I look at a few things without success. Is there a R way of doing this? There are to many to create a manual list. Thanks in advance. Yves Gauvreau -.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.- r-help

A trick I use is to give tab-delimited text files created by excel or R the .xls extension: this may apply, and it may be better, to CSV: R couldn't see any difference whichever the extension will be, and windows will be foolished by the .xls extension an will open the file with Excel that will handel it CORRECTLY. If you need to have the data always alligned in Excel and R this trick will

I'm running Windows NT4. Rcmd does not seen to read the command line. Rterm and other things work well. For example "Rcmd check --help" fails with the command interpreter trying to find a program or file called "check."

Hi, Is there a way to apply a function to rows or columns of a matrix? Now I use apply(as.matrix(1:nrow(m), 1, function(x) mean(m[x,])) which works fine but kind of slow on large matrix. I'm sure there is something on this somewhere but I can't find it. Thanks Yves Gauvreau -.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.- r-help mailing list -- Read

Hi, I need to write a function that would look something like this: S <- function(b=betas){ expression(b[1] * f(b[2] * x * f(b[3] * x * f(...b[n-1] * x * f(b[n] * x)))...) } Where n is the number of element in b. Further I need to be able to evaluate S at some x numerically of course and I need to use "deriv" and produce dS/dx such that I can evaluate it also at some x. I

I'm using version 1.1.1 under Windows NT and Windows 2000. I'm unable to get any editor other than Notepad to work. (I don't have use for any of the Unix editors - vi or Emacs) but would like to use EditPadPro, which has some nifty features, including the ability to spawn Rgui from within it. (No syntax highlighting programmability yet, but maybe soon). Anyway, I have

Hi, Is there a way to find out if a function was called with an output argument? Or to prevent the printing of large amount of data if the function was called without output argument?

Firstly can I add my congradulations to the R core team on the release of v1.0.0 and my thanks for all their hard work. To the subject of this message: does anyone have a binary version of Michael Lapsley's RODBC package built for win32 that they can distribute? I have a solution where I can use Perl ODBC functions to dump data to a text file for reading in to R, but I think the direct ODBC

Hi, Say I have this vector x <- sort(rnorm(n)). I'd like to know if there is a nice way to find out the index of the nearest x to say 1.5?

Dear List, Suppose I want to do a demonstration with R, which I will be showing a couple of different graphs (e.g. demo(graphics) ). However I want R to run through each graphics automatically. I can achieve this by changing the line in demo(graphics): opar <- par(ask = interactive() && (.Device %in% c("X11", "GTK", "windows",
