Hi all, I am trying to play around with the randomForest function for classification. I know its performance is great. I am currently using the default options. It has many options. How do I further tweak the options so that I can make its performance even better? What are the options that are mostly used? Thanks a lot! M [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Dear R-help, This one is probably a piece of cake for regexp masters. I'd like to split a character vector (for simplicity, say of length one for now) that contains fields that are delimited by arbitrary number of white spaces (e.g., " a b c "). How do I get the character vector that contain the fields? In the example I gave, I've tried: > strsplit(" a b c

Hi all, I am using the "svm" command in the e1071 package. Does it have an automatic way of setting the "cost" parameter? I changed a few values for the "cost" parameter but I hope there is a systematic way of obtaining the best "cost" value. I noticed that there is a "cross" (Cross validation) parameter in the "svm" function. But I

Dear R-help, I was bitten by the behavior of all() when given logical(0): It is TRUE! (And any(logical(0)) is FALSE.) Wouldn't it be better to return logical(0) in both cases? The problem surfaced because some un-named individual called randomForest(x, y, xtest, ytest,...), and gave y as a two-level factor, but ytest as just numeric vector. I thought I check for that in my code by testing

Dear R-help, Has anyone notice the problem that, on Windows (NT and XP), when printing a graph using the "File -> Print..." menu in the graphics window to print the graph, that line width seemed to be ignored in the printed output? For example, if I make a plot with plot(1:10, type="l", lwd=5), it looks right on screen, but when printed out using the menu, it looks like

Dear R-help: Has anyone tried using R on the the AMD Opteron in either 64- or 32-bit mode? If so, any good/bad experiences, comments, etc? We are considering getting this hardware, and would like to know if R can run smoothly on such a beast. Any comment much appreciated.

Dear R-help, Has anyone tried running R on a Beowulf-type cluster? I can get R to run in batch (using R CMD BATCH) on a cluster, but am wondering if it is possible to get an interactive R session on a compute node. Right now, if I run: beorun --nolocal R I just get the R start-up message and back to the shell prompt. If I try bpsh 0 R I can get R started (but the R prompt does not

Before I do that, I would need to remove the gcj stuff that are in /usr/bin. If I know how to remove gcj, I'd gladly do that. However, for the particular version of the OS, the entire GCC seems to be bundled into one rpm, and I could not remove just the gcj component. Neither do I wish to mess with files that are part of some RPMs--- in my experience that's invitation for trouble later.

Dear R-devel, Has anyone played with this? http://www.amd.com/us-en/Processors/DevelopWithAMD/0,,30_2252_2282,00.html <http://www.amd.com/us-en/Processors/DevelopWithAMD/0,,30_2252_2282,00.html> .

[Not sure if such wishlist item should go to R-help or R-devel...] It would be nice if an option can be added to the R for Windows installer that will add the --internet2 option to the command line in the shortcut that gets created. Also, is it possible to make that an option that can be set at the R prompt, or perhaps even better, as the default no matter how/where R is started? For those of

Dear R-devel, I grabbed 1.7.0 beta from today. "make check" still fails at base-Ex.R. The last few lines of the output are: > lsf.str()#- how do the functions look like which I am using? Error in exists(nam <- nms[i], envir = envir, mode = mode) : F used instead of FALSE Execution halted Looks like the same problem as before, but at a different place. Mandrake Linux

Hello I would like to see the algorithm that R uses to generate density functions for several distributions (i.e. Normal,Weibull, etc). I tried: >dnorm function (x, mean = 0, sd = 1, log = FALSE) .Internal(dnorm(x, mean, sd, log)) <environment: namespace:stats> How can I see the code used for densities? Thanks!

R 1.7.1 on Windows XP The "normal Q-Q plot" produced by plot.lm() mislabels points when the model is fitted using na.action=na.exclude. Example: x <- 1:50 y <- x + rnorm(50) y[c(5,10,15)] <- NA # insert some NA's y[40] <- 50 # add an outlier plot(lm(y ~ x, na.action=na.omit)) # outlier correctly labeled in all # four plots

Dear R-help, I've encounter what seems to me a strange problem with "names<-". Suppose I define the function: fun <- function(x, f) { m <- tapply(x, f, mean) ans <- x - m[match(f, unique(f))] names(ans) <- names(x) ans } which subtract out the means of `x' grouped by `f' (which is the same as, e.g., resid(lm(x~f)) if `f' is a factor).

Hi, all, I am wondering if it is possible to set parameters of 'rpart' and 'tree' such that they will produce the exact same tree? Thanks.

I thought I'd give this another shot before the official release. I tried building R-beta_2004-04-07 on the AIX system that I have access to, and it seemed to failed at lazy-loading survival. I'd very much appreciate any pointer on what to try or look for next. 1. I set OBJECT_MODE to 64 for building 64-bit binary. 2. I edited config.site with the following: CC="xlc_r"

With the same system configuration (WinNT4 SP6 and 1.7.0), I get such a Dr Watson crash each time I try to use the Change dir... command in the File menu of Rgui.exe. I doesn't seems to happen if I do this immediately after starting R but well if I already did some computation. I don't have any problem by using directly setwd().
