Dear All, This is an absolutely beginner's question: which compiler should I use to compile R source code under Win NT platform? Thanks a lot.

I was wondering whether somebody has developed a set of Textpad macro that work with R the same way as WinEdt does. I use Textpad for almost everything (programming, creating LaTex docs, etc.), it will be nice if I can use it as my R program editor. Or maybe someone can tell me how that kind of macro works so that I can develop my own macros. Thank you! Best, Shige Song Department of Sociology,

Dear All, I am fitting a simple GAM model using the "gam" function in the "mgcv" package. The only independent variable is a continuous variable representing the time of the event (in year and month) coded so that "0" represents January 1960, "1" represents February 1960, etc. Now when I try to plot the results, my x-axis ranges from "-200" to

Dear All, I am trying to graph a simple scatter plot where the x axis is year and the y axis is a percentage (percentage of infant death). Instead of plotting the raw data, I want to plot summary statistics such as mean and median. Here is the problem: the value range of y is between 0 and 1, but since infant death is a rare event, the mean and median is very low (something like 5%), which shows

Dear All, I am doing a growth modeling using NLME. I have three levels in my data: observation, individual, household. About half of my total sample have missing values in my household-level covariates. Under this situation, the best way to go is probably to multiply impute the data (for, say, 5 times), estimate the same model separately on each model using LME function, and merge the results. My

Hi, I downloaded the new R 2.1.1 source, compiled and installed on my suse 9.3 box. Then I installed the package Rcmdr. Surprisingly, I cannot type anything onto the script window. I uninstalled R and grabbed an rpm version from CRAN, installed it, and installed Rcmdr, same problem! Has anyone else had this problem? Shige

Dear All, I am trying to recode a variable using the functions provided by "memisc" package. Actually I am following the examples on page 9-10 of the vignette: -------------------------------------------------------------------------- d.fig <- within(d.fig,{ sev <- recode(sev, 1 -> 0.9, 2 -> 1.0, 3 -> 1.1, 4 ->

Dear All, I want to change the default options of Rcmdr; it seemed to work when I made changes and click the "Exit and Restart R Commander". However, next time I open Rcmdr, it automatically restored to the default options. Is there a way to change Rcmdr's options permanently? Thanks! Shige

Dear All, I have been using Sweave (mainly via the Sweave.sh script) and really like it. I am working a paper (using Sweave, of course) which includes several time-consuming computations, and it gets tedious to re-compile the whoel thing every time I made changes. Then I discover the "cacheSweave" package, which seems the right solution to my problem. I only have on problem. Here is

Dear All, When I tried to run the following code (taken from the *spdplyr* package vignettes): library(spdplyr) library(maptools) data(wrld_simpl) worldcorner <- wrld_simpl %>% mutate(lon = coordinates(wrld_simpl)[,1], lat = coordinates(wrld_simpl)[,2]) %>% filter(lat < -20, lon > 60) %>% dplyr::select(NAME) I got the following error messages: Error in (function (cl,

Hi, I was trying to use the batch mode "rcmd" under Windows NT. The online help says the right command should be "Rcmd BATCH [options] infile [outfile]". But when I type "rcmd BATCH aaa.r" I got message of "The name specified is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file." What is wrong? I know this is a quite

Dear All, I am trying to plot a lattice figure and include it in a LaTeX document via the TikZDevice package. I think the journal I am submitting to does not like colour figure, so I need to get rid of all the colours in the figure. If I directly generate PDF or EPS, the option "trellis.device(color=FALSE)", but when I do: trellis.device(color=FALSE)

Dear All, Can anyone give me some hints about how to set starting values for a lmer model? For complicated models like this, good starting values can help the numerical computation and make the model converge faster. Thanks! Shige [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Dear Colleagues, In the following simple ggplot2 code: -------------------------------- m <- ggplot(d.fig, aes(time, prob)) m + stat_summary(fun.data = "median_hilow", conf.int = .95, geom = "smooth") + facet_wrap(~ Cohort, nrow=1) + coord_cartesian(ylim = c(0, .03)) -------------------------------- Is there a way to replace the y-axis label from "prob" to

Dear All, With kind help from several friends on the list, I am getting close. Now here are something interesting I just realized: for random effects, lmer reports standard deviation instead of standard error! Is there a hidden option that tells lmer to report standard error of random effects, like most other multilevel or mixed modeling software, so that we can say something like "randome

I am having problem making ggplot2, tikzDevice, and knitr working together. I used a very simple example: ---------------------------example.Rnw----------------------------- \documentclass[preview]{standalone} \begin{document} \begin{figure} <<fig1,eval=TRUE,echo=FALSE,dev='tikz'>>= library(ggplot2) qplot(displ, hwy, data = mpg, colour = factor(cyl)) @ \end{figure}

Hi, I compare results of a simple two-level poisson estimated using lmer and those estimated using MLwiN and Stata (v.9). In R, I trype: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- m2 <- lmer(.D ~ offset(log(.Y)) + (1|pcid2) + educy + agri, male, poisson) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Dear All, I am trying to compile&install the package "RGtk2" on my Ubuntu 10.04 box.
