similar to: How to read a text table? A bit of trouble with Using R - An Introduction

I apologise for this question, as I'm sure the answer has got to be obvious, but I am trying to follow the John Maindonald tutorial and have stumbled at the first page. I have sussed out that I need to use the source command rather than the read.table command as illustrated in the tutorial, but the data isn't reading in properly with additional names at the beginning and end of the

I have posted a new version of my document on R. I have corrected a number of errors and moved much of the detailed material on data structures to follow the chapter on exploration of multivariate data. I have changed the name; it is now: Using R for Data Analysis and Graphics - An Introduction The new document lives at: wwwmaths.anu.edu.au/~johnm/r/usingR.pdf My web page has information

Hello- Since my data bank in SPSS has > 40 variables, I think that R crashes because of the memory limit. In Maindonald?s UsingR text, on pg 3, there?s a footnote that reads: "If you want larger memory space than the default you may want a target akin to <path to binary>\rw091\bin\rgui.exe --visize 30M --nsize 1000K [The default is --vsize 6M --nsize 250K

Hello- While I was reading a tutorial book for R (actually, for S-Plus:Brian S. Everitt. A Handbook of Statistical Analysis using S-PLUS. Chapman & Hall, London, 1994) I tried to execute this simple exercise: > x <- -c(1,2,3,4,5,6) > X <- -c(10,11,12,100,-5,-6) >x+X [1] -11, -13, -15, -104, 0, 0 As you can see, the added vectors resulted in

Hi- Is there a quick way to plot a Pareto diagram? I couldn't find one. I'm being forced to do some pretty weird stuff, with awk and all, to extract data in order to plot the frequency of qualitative data from a larger set. Perhaps it's just my GNUrance. I mean, one day, if I have time, I might even write a generic Perl script, but right now, it doesn't look too good on the

Is it possible using scriptaculous/prototype to watch out for any happening Ajax activity, and do something like show/hide a spinner gif to indicate to the user that there is activity taking place in the backgound?

Hi! Its not an R specific question but had no idea where to ask elsewhere. Does anyone know the orginal reference to the CAMBERA DISTANCE? Eryk. Ps.: I knew that its an out of topic question (sorry). Can anyone reccomend a mailing list where such questions are in topic?

G'day all, I'm getting closer to realising my dream of running MYOB (an Australian accounting package - used by 2 in 5 Aust small business) under WINE. On startup, as the different pull-down menus begin to manifest, I get the following message appear on screen: (from MYOB) "FALT is needs that bit cleared" with an OK box. I must say, I absolutely *love* the grammar in the

I''m using the autocomplete function, and need a way to grab a second value from the ajax request... an example would probably speak better: This is my HTML: <input name="CustomerName" id="CustomerName" type="text" /> <div id="CustomerList"></div> <input name="CustomerID" id="CustomerID"

Hello- Whenever I > library(foreign) >read.spss("C:/file/chpoa6.sav") it just crashes the R application, with the following message: Rgui caused an error in MSVCRT.DLL Rgui will be closed Does anyone have a clue as to why this happens? BTW, I use Windows ME and SPSS v7 Thanks, Regards, Henry L. -------------- next part

Hello- This goes for all those insterested in contributing with the effort to have better Debian documentation, and are willing to submit material to the Science section of the DURG, in order to divulge R to a wider public. Please write directly to the author of the Science: Andreas Franzen <anfra at debian.org> Regards, Henry L.

Hello- I had to reinstall my system completely, due to a cracker (a script kiddie). I've added the CRAN recommended lines to my sources.list. I removed my old R package (0.92, I believe) and intalled a new one, but it's the 1.3.1 If I remember correctly, this is not the __latest__ version is it? What's happening than, since my /etc/apt/sources.list is correct? TIA Regards

Hello- This is off-tpoic, but of interest. There's a remote exploit bug on rsync, that was posted on Linux Today. I post this here because apparently it hasn't been mentioned (yet) on the Debian security advisory. The package list is not updated either. Perhaps this is what happened to CRAN when it was cracked... Maybe you admins at CRAN would want to contact the debian-security

Hi- I've upgraded to Debian Woody. I've downloaded and installed the new R-1.4.1. However, it crashes on me, complaining about libblas.so.2.

Hello to all, This is my first ever use of a mailing list so bear with my ramblings and illiterate prose. I have been using samba from 2.03 to 2.07 for over a year now. We run DHCP, WINS on the samba (acting as domain) box running Mandrake 6.0. Windows machines are running everything from Win95 up to Win2K. With Win2K I have problems with slow read/write, particularly for one application

Hi all After posting what follows, Duncan Murdoch suggested perhaps a bug in formatC, or an error on documentation. Any comments? In particular, bug, error or not, any ideas about how I can consistently get two significant figures to print? P. ---------- Original Message ---------- Hi all I am not a C programmer, but I am trying to understand formatC to get consistent printing of

Hi all I'm using Sweave and LaTeX, and love how they interact. But here's a different interaction I'm not sure how to achieve; I hope someone can help. I use a simple example, of course, to demonstrate. Suppose in my LaTeX document I have this: Here is a linear equation: \begin{equation} y = -1 + 3 x \label{EQ:example} \end{equation} This appears in the final product

Hello- Tired of the crashes I was experiencing with r 1.2.1 on Windows ME, I downloaded the r-1.2.1.tgz under my Debian Linux box. I untared, unzipped and then I ./configure and make as specified i the FAQ. But something went wrong...I had version 0.90 per-installed, as it comes with the normal Debian distribution and now, whenever I run R, the old version is the one that executed. Can

Hi, Hope this does not sound too ignorant . I am trying to detrend and transform variables to achieve normality and stationarity (for time series use, namely spectral analysis). I am using the boxcox transformations. As my dataset contains zeros, I found I need to add a constant to it in order to run "boxcox". I have ran tests adding several types of constants, from .0001
