similar to: Large datasets under R

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

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.

Hi there, Does it already exist a library in R to draw maps (something like a Generic Mapping Toolbox, http://gmt.soest.hawaii.edu/ port). I've seen in an old R-help that Ross Ihaka once tried to port the S-plus map library (http://maths.newcastle.edu.au/~rking/R/help/99b/0832.html ). Anybody know if this package is available somewhere or if there is somebody developing a Mapping package

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.

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

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

Hi, I asked this question 2 years ago, and would like to know if the answer has changed. In S-Plus, I build databases of many large objects. In any given analysis, I only need a few of those objects, but attach'ing the whole database is fine since objects are only read as needed. How can I do the same thing in R, without reading the entire database? One possibility is to treat

Is there a way of reading in a file in a way that each line becomes a vector: for example: meals.txt breakfast bacon eggs sausage lunch sandwich apple marsbar crisps dinner chicken rice custard pie I want to read in this file and end up with 3 different vectors, one called breakfast which contains "bacon", "eggs", sausage" One called

Dear all, I have two vectors and connect the points by line segments: x <- c(1990,1994,1995,1997) y <- c(30,40,80,20) plot(x,y,type="l") I want to get the values of y's on these lines at missing x's, i.e., at 1991,1992,1993,and 1996. Is there a simple way to do this? Best regards, Remigijus mailto:remigijus.lapinskas at maf.vu.lt

Has anyone achieved a current successful build of R 1.8 or 1.9 or earlier for HPUX Tru 64 OSF 5.1? There is no binary version of R for HPUX Tru 64 OSF 5.1. The R admin manual mentions that the native make fails on "Alpha/OSF (aka Tru 64)" and gnu make must be used instead. There are problems reported with building R versions around 1.4 from 2002 on R-devel, some of which were fixed with

Hi, Iwrote 'pdfc' in analogy to 'lpr': pdfc <- function (file = "Rplot.pdf") { current.device <- dev.cur() dev.off(dev.copy(device = pdf, file = file, ...)) dev.set(current.device) print(paste(file, "generated.")) } lpr <- function (object, file = "Rplotlpr.ps", ...) { if (missing(object)) { current.device <-

Dear all, I am sorry because my question is perhaps trivial and is certainly a detail. It's related to the output of some clustering package as mclust and e1071. The output is as follows : [1] 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 [38] 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 [75] 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1

A student asked me about simulation he is doing. This simulation presented an interesting R programming puzzle that we did solve but I am not happy with the solution. I feel there should be a better way of doing this. Briefly, he is simulating births and deaths in a linear array of cells. Births and deaths are required to alternate. For a birth, one of the cells is selected at random to be the

Hi, I'm looking to create a few basic world maps in R (for Windows). A while back someone asked for the same thing and was referred to the (*.tar) files at: ftp://ftp.mcs.vuw.ac.nz/pub/statistics/map/ which I downloaded. However, I am unable to install them, and clearly I'm not doing something properly (I'm your basic moron when it comes to installation, so please understand).

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
