Hi, I want to pick 3 "integer" random numbers from 1 to 10. How to do this? Thanks, Yu-Ling Wu __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

I have two dataframe columns of POXIXct data/times that include seconds. I got them into this format using for example zsort$ETA <- as.POSIXct(as.character(zsort$ETA), format="%m/%d/%Y %H:%M:%S") My problem is that when I subtract the two columns, sometimes the difference is given in seconds, and sometimes it is given in minutes. I don't care which it is, but I need to know which

Hello all, to obtain a list of all objects in all search paths, I've found the following to work: > biglist <- sapply(1:length(search()), objects) This more obvious one, however, does not work: > biglist <- sapply(search(), objects) Error in pos.to.env(pos) : invalid argument Still, search() gives [1] ".GlobalEnv" "package:ctest" "Autoloads"

Hello, does anyone know of a quick way to create a data frame "like" another, but with more rows? What I'd like to do is this: if mydata is a data.frame like a b c 1 TRUE yes 2 FALSE no 3 TRUE yes I'd like to get mydata2 with the same column names and column types, but without the values and with more rows. All I could think of was to manually do

Currently (R-1.4.1 as well as R-devel, according to http://stat.ethz.ch/R-alpha/R-devel/library/base/html/par.html), the html version of help(par) shows [...] lab A numerical vector of the form c(x, y, len) which modifies the way that axes are annotated. The values of x and y give the (approximate) number of tickmarks on the x and y axes and len specifies the label size. The default

Hello, I'd like to propose an extension to the function summary.aov. In Splus (2000, I don't know about other versions), summary.aov allows a parameter ssType to be set to 1 or 3 (defaults to 1) to choose the type of Sums of Squares. I know I can get Type III SS in R with drop1(model), but including the functionality into summary.aov would, in my opinion, - yield a more usable table

Hello, first, I'd like to congratulate the core team to the new R version 1.1. I think it's a great update, with glimpses into an even greater future (tcltk!). While playing around with the new functions (on Win 95), I found the following: As the documentation states, when I generate a plot and save it with recordPlot, I can regenerate it by printing the variable: > plot(1:10) >

How can I access a function created in one data directory in another? I have been sourcing the text file that contains the function each time I go to another data dir. This is cumbersome, and I suspect there is a way to make functions global. Thanks in advance, S. David White Dept of Speech and Hearing Science Ohio State University Columbus, Ohio

Hello, is there a quick way of estimating Weibull parameters for some data points that are assumed to be Weibull-distributed? I guess I'm just too lazy to set up a Maximum-Likelihood estimation... ...but maybe there is a simpler way?

Hello, I'm using R 1.40 on MacOS X X.1.2 (installed via the fink package manager). To upgrade my installed packages, I tried to use update.packages() today. All went well for most packages, with the exception of KernSmooth and cluster. In both cases, libraries were not found although I think they are present. Here's what happened: ---------------------------------- >

I had run into problems when compiling some contributed packages to an installation of R 1.40 by fink on MacOS X. Namely, packages KernSmooth (2.22-7) and cluster (1.4-0) would not find required libraries, though those were present on the system. Jeff Whitaker, the maintainer of the R fink packages, kindly sent me this: > Kaspar: It's not looking in /sw/lib, where the libs are (the

Hi all, I have a problem which I am biting my teeth into unsuccessfully: (x <- data.frame(S1=c("a","b","d","F"),N1=c(2,4,6,9),N2=c(6,NA,0,6))) S1 N1 N2 1 a 2 6 2 b 4 NA 3 d 6 0 4 F 9 6 > is.na(x) S1 N1 N2 1 FALSE FALSE FALSE 2 FALSE FALSE TRUE 3 FALSE FALSE FALSE 4 FALSE FALSE FALSE No I want to be able to do: 1) Setting

This is only partly an R question, but this seems a good place to ask. Like many, if not most, statistics programs, R has no post hoc tests for Kruskal Wallis or Friedman, and as far as I can make out they are not available in any of the R packages. I would be grateful if someone could point me in the right direction if I am wrong. As I said this is not uncommon. Parametric Anova procedures

I frequently use hclust on a similarity matrix. In R only a distance matrix is allowed. Is there a simple reliable transformation of a similarity matrix that will result in a distance matrix making hclust work the same as S-Plus with a similarity matrix? Venables & Ripley 3rd edition implies that a simple reversal of values will suffice. Thanks -Frank -- Frank E Harrell Jr

Hi everyone. R is new to me and I'm very impressed with its capabilities but still cannot figure out how to do some basic things. There seems to be no lack of documentation but finding what I need has proven difficult. Perhaps you can help. Here's what I'm after: 1. How do I create a new plot without erasing the prior one i.e., have a new window pop up with the new graph?

Hello, after thorough searching of the R help files as well as S+-help, I'm coming to the list: Is there a possibility to compute partial correlation coefficients between multiple variables (correlation between two paired samples with the "effects of all other variables partialled out")? All I seem to find are the standard Pearson correlation coefficients (with cor()) and no clue

Hi folks, I'd like to use scatter3d (which is in R commander) to plot more than one dataset in the same graph, each dataset with a different color. The kind of stuff you would do with "holdon" in Matlab. I read a recent message that was posted to this list with a similar problem, but I couldn't understand the reply. Could someone give me one example? How do you plot subgroups
