There's something (probably a lot) missing in my understanding of plotmath. The LaTeX code for what I'm trying to produce is \log(-\log(\hat R)) My (probably hopeless) attempt at it uses nested group()s: expression(plain(log) * group("(", -plain(log)*group("(", \hat(R), ")"), ")")) Can anyone do it right for me, please? Thanks, Ted. Dr E.A.

I would like to do a logistic multiple regression on a binary variate, with what Genstat calls an offset, ie a regression variable with the coefficient constrained=1. I'm far from home and have Splus but not R here, but any information from either source would be very welcome. I'd hate to have to go back to using Genstat . . . Thanks, Ted. --------------- Dr E.A.

There appears to be a bug in the R xfig() driver. When I run a simple example, eg > data(InsectSprays) > boxplot(count ~ spray, data = InsectSprays, col = "lightgray") the boxplot is fine. Doing the same thing after > xfig(file='test.fig') and then opening in Xfig (ver3.2 patchlevel 2) on my Linux box produces boxplots where the boxes, although correctly shaded in,

Hi there, I want to create plots with some kind of 'complex' axis labelling of the form $\dot{V}$ and integrate those plots into a LaTeX document. What is the best way to go? I've figured out, that the 'plotmath' commands are somewhat limited (at least I wasn't able to get the $\dot{V}$ generated) and that plots with 'plotmath'-axes wouldn't export

Dear friends. Please see the program below and answer if it does simulate a population of 1.000.000 families, each with at max 20000 children (typical in Denmark, you know), constructed such that each family stops having children when more boys than girls are present ? Equal numbers of boys and girls are got in the population, according to the simulation, is that obvious ? ND <- NP <-

I'm looking for something like Brian Ripley's glmmPQL that will handle multinomial data. Does anyone know of anything? Thanks, Ted. -- Dr E.A.

As to the function"pnorm",the default degree of freedom(df) is infinite. I wanna know how to set the df as I want. Help on pnorm doesn't have df setting.The only choice are:"mean, sd, lower.tail, log.p",but no df. For instance: sample size=6 df=6-1=5 t value=9.143 I wanna to the corresponding p value by using function "pnorm". How can I do it? Thanks a lot

Dear userR, With the following results, are they correct or acceptable? > x <- c(1.4, 1.2, 2.8) > sum(x) [1] 5.4 > sum(x) == 5.4 [1] FALSE > (1.4 + 1.2 + 2.8) - 5.4 [1] -8.881784e-16 > (1.4 + 1.2) - 2.6 [1] -4.440892e-16 > 2.6 - 1.5 - 1.1 [1] 0 > version _ platform i386-pc-mingw32 arch i386 os mingw32 system i386, mingw32 status major 2 minor

Hey there, I apologize if this is an irritatingly simple question ... I'm a new user. I can't understand why R flips the sign of all data values when reading in external text files (tab delimited or csv) with the read.delim or read.csv functions. The signs of data values also seem to be flipped after assigning a new data.frame from within R (xnew <-- edit(data.frame()). What am

I have downloaded and tried to install JGR - Java GUI for R - Version 1.5. I followed all the instructions (at least in my best resolution) and installed Java latest version. R installation complete fine. Has anyone succeded in installing JGR on SuSE 10.3 ? In the following I hade detailed the failed installation, As root /i did the following: linux-Mimin:/usr/local/bin # ./R R version 2.6.0

I have not had a great amount of success installing/updating packages from the "Packages" menu of Rgui under Windows XL. (Except for installing from loacal zip files.) But I am not asking for help in using these facilities because I prefer to keep a folder of package zip files. On the other hand I do find it tedious having to right-click "Save link as" on every individual

Hello Listers, I am trying to sample a vector to create a new one of sample length, witha sum equal to the sum of the initial vector: initial = 10, 30, 10 (sum=50) sample example = 5, 35, 10 (sum=50) or 25, 15, 10 (sum=50), etc ... My problem is to control the sum, so it stays constant. Any suggestions would be very helpful ! Thank you in advance, Eric

Hi All, Here 's what I got using dgamma function : > nu<-.2 > nu*log(nu)-log(gamma(nu))+(nu-1)*log(1)-nu*(1) [1] -2.045951 > dgamma(1,nu,nu,1) [1] 0.0801333 > dgamma(1,nu,nu,0) [1] NaN Warning message: NaNs produced in: dgamma(x, shape, scale, log) Could anyone tell me what is wrong here ? I am using R-2.4.1 on windows XP. Thanks a lot.

"&&" seems to behave strangely and gives different results from "&" e.g. in a data frame selection (regardless whether terms are bracketed)? ===========Script======================= test=data.frame(gender=c("F","M","M","F","F"),side=c("R","L","R","L","R")) test

Dear All, Is there a conmand to calculate the multiplication of the elements in a vector? For example: a=c(1,2,3,4) I want to get 1*2*3*4=24. Because the dimension of the vector is high, I want to know there is a command for this task in R? Thank you so much!

Dear List, I want to let R calculate the time (run-time) it requires to run a self-written simulation function. I tried as follows: it enables me to see the starting and finishing time points. ############################# "sim.result" <- function(nsim, ...){ Starting <- date() ... # calculations # final.result <- ... # Output for display # cat("# of Iterations used
