If you look at the structure, you'll see: > x$V4 <- 0 > str(x) `data.frame': 4 obs. of 4 variables: $ V1: int 1 2 3 4 $ V2: int 5 6 7 8 $ V3: int 9 10 11 12 $ V4: num 0 Don't know if this is the intended result. In any case, you're probably better off using data.matrix, as > data.matrix(x) V1 V2 V3 V4 1 1 5 9 0 2 2 6 10 0 3 3 7 11 0 4 4 8 12

Dear all Why isn'it possible to calculate Mahalanobis distances with R for a matrix with 1 row (observations) more than the number of columns (variables)? > mydata <- matrix(runif(12,-5,5), 4, 3) > mahalanobis(x=mydata, center=apply(mydata,2,mean), cov=var(mydata)) [1] 2.25 2.25 2.25 2.25 > mydata <- matrix(runif(420,-5,5), 21, 20) > mahalanobis(x=mydata,

Hi I have written a small function to calculate distances between pairs of landmarks ('my.dist' bellow). I gave it to a colleague that works with MSWindows and the function doesn't give the right answer: R 1.4.1 for Linux: > my.dist() [1] 22 561 R 1.4.1 for Windows: > my.dist() [1] 22 560 Warning message: Replacement length not a multiple of the elements to replace in

Dear all I have tried to estimate the confidence intervals for predicted values of a nonlinear model fitted with nls. The function predict gives the predicted values and the lower and upper limits of the prediction, when the class of the object is lm or glm. When the object is derived from nls, the function predict (or predict.nls) gives only the predicted values. The se.fit and interval aguments

Hello, I' m trying to change the formula in the rpart function. The format of a general formula is Answer ~ expression, where Answer is the dependent variable and expression is set of terms containing the independent variables and separated by operators. I want the response of the formula is more than one dependent variable. It is possible?

Dear R users, I want to share my joy with you. Please see the following excellent introduction to R "Statistiques avec R " by Vincent Zoonekynd http://zoonek2.free.fr/UNIX/48_R/all.html In paticular, you can see a lot of fascinating graphics examples of R from which you can get many hints. Soryy if this is already well-known, but the CRAN search did not show nothing with the keyword

I expected that something like > for(i in names(my.data.frame)){j <- as.name(i); print(my.data.frame$j)} should work in R (and S). There's always the possibility of using > for(i in names(my.data.frame)){print(my.data.frame[,i])} but can someone someone tell me why doesn't the 1st option work also? Thanks Alberto -- Alberto G.

Dear all I was writing some code that needed functions from packages 'MASS' and 'CircStats', and I received a warning saying that the function 'eqscplot' in one of the packages was masked by another 'eqscplot' from the other package (in fact 'eqscplot' from 'CircStats' seems a short version of 'eqscplot' from 'MASS'). This masking of

Hi I'm computing a bca interval using bca.ci from the boot package. When I try to use this I get an error > library(boot) > boot(logglm.data,boot.fishpower,2500,coef.vec=coeflm.vec)->blm8901 > bca.ci(blm8901,index=29) Error: cannot allocate vector of size 456729 Kb However my machine has 2GB of memory and without R running I only have 112M of memory used.

Hi Maybe this is not an issue about R. It's probably a programming issue and I am not a developer at all. Anyway my main developing activities are in R and that's where I have difficulties. When I develop a function or group of functions I lose eternities with the objects attributes and classes. I do a lot of object manipulation (lists to arrays, factors to numeric vectors, etc, etc) so

Dear all, I am trying to generate bootstrap replicate matrixes (rows=samples, column=species, sampling with replacement) from a matrix dataset, but I do not know how to do it in R. I have tried boot() and bootstrap(), but they require an statistic, which in my case is cluster analysis (generating bootstrap values for a cluster analysis is a topic that has been mentioned previously in

Hi I have a list with several data.frames, all with the same number of colunms but different number of rows, and I'd like to transform this list into a single dataframe.

Hi I''m currently learning how AJAX is working and found prototype.js interesting. But I have some issues that might be because of misusage: http://brasilia.nersc.no/test/PyTest/AJAX.html When I use this in Firefox2 it correctly fills the first select, using opera9 it is filled, but it just shows a list of "blank" options (no description), and in IE6 it doesn''t get
