When I tried to plot a tree object with > plot (tree) It gives me the error message: Error in plot.window(xlim, ylim, log, asp, ...) : invalid xlim I was looking in the manual under "plot", "plot.window", etc. but I didn't really get the resolution of my problem.....

Dear R-users I would like to draw a barplot with a special y-axis. Most of my data points are in the range from -50 to 50, apart from one value that is 550. I would now like to have a y-axis from -50 to 50, then a "break" and the "rest" of the y-axis, let's say from 500 to 600. In order to make clear what I'm trying to do, I attached a figure. Is it possible to do

Dear all, I would like to announce the availability of a new package on CRAN: RNetCDF: R Interface to NetCDF Datasets This package provides an interface to Unidata's NetCDF library functions (version 3) and furthermore access to Unidata's udunits calendar conversions. The routines and the documentation follow the NetCDF and udunits C interface, so the corresponding manuals can be

Hello, I'm running running samba 3.0.14a on a Gentoo 2005.1 Linux box. I have first set up Gentoo 2005.0 with Samba 3.0.10 (I think) and everything went fine. After an update to Samba 3.0.14a it will not work as it should. I'm running winbindd and samba with the following configuration: [global] workgroup = CDE server string = %h server (Samba %v) security =

Dear all I have a big matrix of standardized values (dimensions 285x5829) and R fails to calculate the principal components using prcomp() with the following error message: pc <- prcomp(my.matrix) Error in La.svd(x, nu, nv, method) : error code 1 from Lapack routine dgesdd Is the matrix too big? I'm using R-1.8.1 under Unix (Solaris8) and Linux(Suse 8.2). I tried to perform a principal

Dear all, I am using Cairo version 1.4-5 for plotting R graphs on a Gentoo system that does not have X11 installed. I have full control on the fonts when running R in interactive mode. But when running R in batch mode I cannot change e.g. font size. Letters (including symbols) are, however, drawn. I am exporting the following environemntal variables when running R in batch mode to point to

Dear all, I've sent this question to the r-help mailing list, but maybe it is better suited for the r-sig-debian mailing list, although this is not Debian (but still Linux): I am using Cairo version 1.4-5 for plotting R graphs on a Gentoo system that does not have X11 installed. I have full control on the fonts when running R in interactive mode. But when running R in batch mode I cannot

Dear all, I've got many responses to my initial question, which is stated below. However, from those responses it has become clear that I need to rephrase my problem. All responses dealt with subscripting the data matrix before 'apply' is run on it. But this is not want I wanted to do. 'apply' cycles through rows or columns of a matrix, and runs a function on each row or

Dear all, I am stuck with a problem that might be trivial for most of you (and therefore is a bit embarrassing for me...): I want to calculate a generalized least squares regression using two time series (Y depending on X) with an autoregressive correlation structure of order two (the data along time are given below). I use 'gls' from package 'nlme': Calib.gls <- gls(Y~X,

Hello there I ` m a newbie in R and have a question about the output of write.table My command looks like this: write.table(datatr$V1[data.chull],file="outr.txt", quote = FALSE, sep = "\t") In the outputfile (outr.txt) I have an "x" in the left corner and a new row with numbers for each column(1,2,3...).

Dear all, I am having exactly the same problem as Andy on an Intel Mac (see below / https://stat.ethz.ch/pipermail/r-sig-mac/2009-May/006208.html) with the degree symbol. I am using R version 2.11.1 (2010-05-31) on Xubuntu 10.04 with Windows fonts copied from /WINDOWS/Fonts and included via 'sudo dpkg-reconfigure fontconfig' and 'sudo fc-cache'. Any help would be highly

Hello, as I just spent a (too long) while searching for a way how to persistantly switch back the help display routines from chm to text, here a small documentation how to do that with the windows version of R. The windows installer asks which help type you want to use, I wanted to test the chm version -- which I didn't like. If you after installation want to switch back, you have to edit

hello there, I ` m a newbie in R so please excuse my maybe simple question! I have several (the number of the files changes) textfiles. Each textfile contains one column with 3 rows (3 numerical values). I want to combine each file with another file and create new textfiles which then contain 2 columns with 3 rows. How can I do this in R? Do I have to use cbind? How Do I use cbind for my

Dear Colleagues, I have x, y data (pollen and seed dispersal from oaks !) that I would like to fit with a function which look like this: p(a,b,x,y)=b/(2*pi*a?gamma(2/b))*exp(-(square_root(x?+y?)/a)power(b)) I am looking for a and b values that fit my data at best. Can someone give me hints to perform such an analysis with R ? Thanks a lot Sophie Sophie Gerber
