similar to: R or Splus?

Thanks to all for the input. rgentlem at jimmy.harvard.edu said: >If you really want help -- no, I just thought I'd waste some bandwidth. :-) >If on the other hand you >just want some reassurance that Splus is indeed a commerical package oh gee, thanks, I wasn't sure about that. When I had said: >> R can't handle files named x. If I can use Splus, should I just

Hi -- subject says all. I just want the code for that function, which I guess was in Venables and Ripley as early as 1994. Well, and for any of the sub-functions that glm.nb calls. I can't install the entire MASS library. If the code for just glm.nb (again, don't want to touch the MASS library, last time I tried to install it was a complete nightmare and fiasco) is somewhere on a

Hi, is there any way to exchange (A LOT OF) data between SPPS and R/Splus, i.e., I want to get data from SPSS into R. It is a huge data frame with many columns being factors, so manual conversion is out of question (and there are more data to come). Exporting ASCII from SPSS seems to loose all level names, and the portable SPSS format doesn't look too nice. I've searched S-news and

Hello Everyone,   I’m a SAS user who has recently become interested in sequential clinical trials designs. I’ve discovered that the SAS based approaches for these designs are either too costly or are “experimental.” So now I’m looking for alternative software. Two programs that seem promising are SPLUS Seqtrial and R.   I recently obtained a 30 day trial for the SPLUS Seqtrial add-on and have

Hi all, I've got a project where I have to calculate weight-for-age Z-scores, preferably using the WHO standards. WHO have been very nice to publish macros for doing this in both STATA,SPSS, SAS and Splus formats (see http://www.who.int/childgrowth/software/en/), but for some reason have chosen not to use the free R alternative to Splus. In the Splus zipfile there are nine datafiles with a

Hello out there, in their "R Complements" to Modern Applied Statistics W. Venables and B. Ripley say that there is a lack of time series related functions in R compared to S plus. Looking at CRAN I didn't find much, too. As I have to learn something about +-basic ts analysis, e.g. spectral analysis, I would like to know whether somebody has developed a "unpublished" time

Hi all, I can't figure out how to compute Wilks Lambda in a one way repeated measure design. My matrix looks like: > t2.m Blank ECR ENC UEA UED 1 -0.15 0.14 0.16 0.09 0.14 2 0.30 0.08 0.14 0.14 0.14 [...] where each row is a case and the columns are levels of one factor (named trial): > t2.fit <- manova(t2.m ~ 1) > summary(t2.fit, intercept=T,

This is my first post to this list so I suppose a quick intro is in order. I've been using SPLUS 2000 and R1.6.2 for just a couple of days, and love S already. I'm reading MASS and also John Fox's book - both have been very useful. My background in stat software was mainly SPSS (which I've never much liked - thanks heavens I've found S!), and Perl is my tool of choice for

:> When I had said: :> >> R can't handle files named x. If I can use Splus, should I just do that? to which I've had the reply (sorry lost attribution but this mailer is cack for handling mailing lists): :It was a problem with data frames (not 'files') named 'x'. ah, well, my typo in the original post. :I may be stating the obvious, but I think some people

Hi, I am running Samba 2.2.8a on Solaris 8, and have shared out a directory containing some simple text files. The issue I am experiencing is the following: If the files are FTP'd from the Unix box to a Windows machine and opened using Notepad, the formatting is correct. If the same files are either opened directly or copied (from the Samba share) from the Unix box to the Windows machine,

Full_Name: Ernesto Jardim Version: 1.2.2 OS: SuSE Linux 6.4 Submission from: (NULL) (193.137.98.92) I wanted to import an array, dim=c(28,12,17), from splus into R.On splus I did dump(c("array"),file="dump.out) I checked and Splus could source it. Than, in R I tryied to source it with: source("dump.out") and got and error message: > source("dump.out")

We've been working on making it easier to write packages that work in both R and Splus. One issue is that R and Splus use different internal representations of integers and this makes a difference on their 64-bit versions: R uses ints (32 bits on 32-bit and 64-bit versions of R) and Splus uses longs (32 bits on 32-bit Splus and 64 bits on 64-bit Splus). The obvious ways to deal with the

Hello R/Splus users.. I am posting in R discussion group in hope of wider response compared to what I received from Splus user groups.... Was wondering if there is any function available in Splus 8.2 that is equivalent to "reshape" of R? Below is a sample dataset. Size [both rows and columns) of the dataset may vary X1 Y1 Y2 Y3 0.25 40 38 22 0.5 44 41

Hi All, I just used "dump" on Splus to transfer a pile of survival objects from Splus 3.4 on Solaris 7 to R 0.63.3 on Intel. The only trick is that survival objects contain an element holding the original call that generated the object. When Splus writes these out, it doesn't mark them in any way, so when R tries to read them in, it ends up trying to reevaluate the call. Not

Hi, Is there any difference in the gam() function in R and Splus? I just tried to do an Ace Plot (plotting the result of the gam() ) on a dataset. R gave me four (the data set has one response and four explanatory variables) ace plot with perfectly straight lines. I kind of felt that it is highly unlikely, so I tried it in Splus. Using the exact commands Splus gave me four completely

Hi I have a source file in Splus that fails in R as I am using the Splus function compare(). compare( ii * 1e9,f ) where ii is a single variable and f is a vector of length 146 R returns with no function error Can anyone inform me how I can do this in R thanks in advance Bob Kelly [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

hi there, anybody knows how to import data into R from splus directly? I have a huge amount of data in splus format, which will cost forever for me to transform the data back to ascii or something else and then read them into R. thanks a lot. ximing -.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.- r-help mailing list -- Read

Hi all I have a couple of obscure questions for R/Splus experts (which unfortunately isn't me!) I am trying to compute Bayes Factors using some Splus code of Raftery in Gilks et al (1996). Only problem is 1) R doesn't seem to have a robust covariance (cov.mve) which I suspect I need rather than a non-robust classical estimate 2) Splus has cov.mve BUT dgamma in Splus doesn't have a

Hello everyone, I was wondering if anyone knows how to convert the Splus mapproject( ) function for use in R, I would greatly appreciate your help. I am using the following system, R Version 1.6.1 (2002-11-01) for SunOS 5.5 and Splus Version 5.1 Release 1 for Sun SPARC, SunOS 5.5. Thanks, Helen
