Dear R users, I am just starting with R (v. 1.0.0) and I use Vehables & Ripley's MASS book for examples. In the intro session, there is an example of a 2D histogram on an 8x8 grid: x <- rnorm(1000) y <- rnorm(1000) contour(hist2d(x,y,,,8,8)) R complains: Error in contour(hist2d(x, y, , , 8, 8)) : couldn't find function "hist2d" I looked for hist2d() in the

Dear R users, I have two related questions about scoping and data encapsulation. One is fairly specific - I am looking at "scoping.R" which is used in demo(scoping) - it's an example of lexical scoping and encapsulation. Where is the 'total' stored? It is not an attribute in 'ross' or 'robert' however, functions like balance() have access to it. Is it more

Dear R users, I have a very simple question. What is the easiest way to recode data in one of the columns of a data frame and put it into a new column? For example, here is a simple data frame: var1 1 1 2 2 3 3 How do I add a new column to data - 'var2' in which I group values in 'var1', for example: var1 var2 1 1 4 2 2 4 3 3 5 It's got to

Dear R experts, I am writing a multi-page PDF file and would like to put a header on each page. Is there a way to test a graphic device to see if a new page is started (so that I know when to write the header)? I could simply count the plots made (each page has the same number of plots), but wanted to see if a more general solution is available. Thank you, Aleksey -- Aleksey Naumov GIS

Dear R users, I have a question on using weighted.mean() while aggregating a data frame. I have a data frame with columns Sub, Length and Slope: > x[1:5,] Sub Length Slope 1 2 351.547 0.0025284969 2 2 343.738 0.0025859390 3 1 696.659 0.0015948968 4 2 5442.338 0.0026132544 5 1 209.483 0.0005304225 and I would like to calculate the weighted.mean of Slope, using Length

Dear List, I would like to plot a simple legend with two math expressions, e.g. plot(0) legend(1, 0.5, expression(sigma[i], sigma[j])) The difficulty is that i and j should be variables rather than strings "i" and "j". In other words I'd like to do something like: i = "A" j = "B" legend(1, 0.5, expression(sigma[i], sigma[j])) and have "A"

Dear R users, I have to catch a nasty bug and would appreciate any advice or help! I get a segfault (core dumped) that happens in one of my own functions. The problem is, it does not happen most of the time, only sometimes, so it's very hard to reproduce. Or it may run ok in interactive mode, but bug out in batch mode. Also, it tends to happen more on the slower of my 2 machines (PII 266),

Hi R experts, I am looking for a simple error handling approach, whereby I could stop function execution with a customized error message. For example: for (i in 1:10) { if (i == 5) # I'd like to be able to stop right here with an error message I have complete control over } The problem with stop() is that I cannot control completely what gets printed to the terminal, even with

Dear List, I am using the bioconductor package Category to do some gene enrichment analysis, and usually save my KEGGmnplot's using a dev2bitmap command. This has worked just fine, until suddenly earlier today I got this error-message: > dev2bitmap("04610_080721.jpg",type="jpeg", height = 10, width = 10, res = 200) Error in dev2bitmap("04610_CSF080721.jpg",

Hi, I am trying to put some graphics I have generated from R on a webpage using dev2bitmap to create a bitmap, .BMP, file. When I look at my notes from 2 or 3 months ago I was successfully able to put the ACTIVE device plot result into a bitmap file using a command such as: dev2bitmap("InsectSpray.BMP") Job done! Now when I try the same command, I get the following: >

Dear R experts, Can anyone running R on Linux share how they use the "Search Engine & Keywords" page of R documentation? I cannot do any javascript on this page, either searching for a term or following the keyword links. I tried Konqueror (3.0.4, with javascript globally enabled), Mozilla (1.1), and Galeon (1.2.5), but none of them do anything... Sorry, I don't know

Hi, I don't know if I am the first one to report the problem: in 2.8.0 dev2bitmap gained aa support, but "extra" is null if neither taa nor naa is specified. > dev2bitmap("plot.pdf",type="pdfwrite") Error in paste(shQuote(gsexe), " -dNOPAUSE -dBATCH -q -sDEVICE=", type, : object "extra" not found >

Dear R users, I wonder if there is a simple way to select a random and non-overlapping subset of a vector? Say, I need to randomly select 10 out of 100 numbers in a vector V. By "non-overlapping" I mean that a number in any position in V (V[1]...V[100]) should be selected at most once (i.e. selection without recycling). I could simplu use a uniform distribution to generate selection

Dear R and Sweave users, Is there a way to have optional sections in a Sweave-generated report document, complete with section header(s), text and code chunks? In other words, I'd like for my report to include or omit certain sections based on the data itself. For example, If I examine the input dataset early on in the report and set a variable has_daily_data = TRUE, then I'd like to

Dear all, When saving a plot with the dev2bitmap command: name <- c("test.jpeg") dev2bitmap(name,type="jpeg",height=8,width=13,res=400) Everything seems to be ok... After importing this picture in CORELDRAW (for a poster A0) format the resolution and colors are not optimal. How can I save pictures (colors/resolution) optimally for import into CorelDraw for an

Hi, Introduction: There are two domains, for example (aaa.com, bbb.com). In the aaa.com domain two users (bob at aaa.com, alex at aaa.com). In the bbb.com domain there are no users. In time full sync replication (replication_full_sync_interval) operations in logs appear errors: dovecot: dsync-local(bob at aaa.com): Error: Mailbox INBOX: Failed to set attribute

Issue: I have a R script that is invoked periodically by another process. In the script, a graphics is generated and I want to get a the image for the graph as a jpeg. Here is a prototypical version of the script (try.R): plot(1) dev2bitmap("try.jpg", type = "jpeg") I am running R-1.0.0 on Solaris 7. The script is invoked as: R --vanilla < try.R A file named try.jpg is

Dear R and odfWeave users, I am looking for a way to automate generation of many reports using odfWeave. All reports would use the same input ODT file, the only difference would be in the name of the dataset which will be analyzed in any particular report. Right now, the name of the dataset is hardcoded in the first code chuck in the input file: <<01 get data, echo=TRUE>> station =

Hy all, I wish to get rid of starting X to get graphics, i tryed dev2bitmap and i've being working around without finding good parameters.
