For what it is worth, here are my experiences. When I first got my zaurus I compiled R version 1.4.0 for the it. It took some time to do, but managed with the skiffclusters at familiar.org. (libf2c was the hardest part). Compilation should be easier now that there are onboard compilers but I haven't tried. I thought this would be neat to have in the classroom. (It did get one student to buy

Hello all, I've put together a quick and dirty menubar + dialogs + spreadsheet GUI for R using the RGtk package. Performance is not great (OOP is a real memory hog?), the design may be worse, but the hope is that it will be useful in an introductory stats course while we await the arrival of a real gui with ObveRsive and SciViews. The package can be found at

I'm trying to plot a scatterplot of two variables using pch to plot different characters based on a third factor. Here is my example > data("ToothGrowth") > attach(ToothGrowth) > levels(supp) [1] "OJ" "VC" > plot(len ~ dose,pch=as.numeric(supp)) > legend(locator(1),pch=as.numeric(supp),legend=levels(supp)) The command as.numeric(supp) returns 2 2

For those who are interested, I've finished release of 0.4 of pmg and have placed it on my website at http://www.math.csi.cuny.edu/Statistics/R/pmg. The pmg package provides some GUI elements using the RGtk package and friends: RGtk, OOP, RGtkExtra, RGtkHTML, RGdkPixbuf, RGtkViewers and REventLoop from www.omegahat.org and gtkDevice from CRAN. (These require a form of UNIX such as linux, OS

Hi Guys, Using the PGLMM function in Picante it is theoretically possible to generate other models (than the 5 flagged ones indicated) by differently structuring the independent variable (Y), dependent variables (X), and covariance matrices (VV). I was wondering anyone could give me some advice (or code) for generating a model that includes the phylogenetic repulsion model (3) with the traits

Dear John, Actually, I was using gWidgetsRGtk2. The solution you suggest works fine. Thank you very much. Best regards. Olivier -- ____________________________________ Olivier G.

Hi I would like to start by thanking everyone that replied. Thank you for the information, and for the comments about how or why you use it and thankx for the encouragement re my talk.... Please note that I do not claim to have ellicited a reply from all users of R, this is a quick survey not a census. I have tried to break the responces down to the following categories: Where: (hopefully

Hello, I'm trying to make a graphical interface for an R function I've written. A common use for the function is to call it with specific parameters, and then watch the output as it evolves. There's not necessarily a logical stopping point, so I usually use ctrl-C when I'm done to stop it. I've made a gWidgets interface to the function that gets some user info and then on a

Hi Graham, Your guess is right. The event loop stuff is handled differently on Windows than on Unix-like OSes. There is a hook, called tcl_do that is hard-coded into the R Windows GUI. It is called whenever the console is idle. RGtk2 is able to hook into that to process GTK+ events. The problem is that the two packages replace each other's handler. So in this case tcltk is blocking GTK+ from

Hello, from Verzani, simpleR (pdf), p. 80, I created the following function to test the coefficient of lm() against an arbitrary value. coeff.test <- function(lm.result, var, coeffname, value) { # null hypothesis: coeff = value # alternative hypothesis: coeff != value es <- resid(lm.result) coeff <- (coefficients(lm.result))[[coeffname]] # degrees of freedom = length(var) -

Having found the online version of SimpleR, I wanted to to download the respective data: "The data sets for these notes are available from the CSI math department (http://www.math.csi.cuny.edu/Statistics/R/simpleR) and must be installed prior to this." There it says: "The simpleR package is now inside the UsingR package available from CRAN. In the Windows GUI, this may be

I'm looking for a book for someone completely ignorant of statistics who wishes to learn both statistics and R. I've found three possibilities, one by Verzani ("Using R for Introductory Statistics"), one by Crawley ("Statistics: An Introduction using R"), and one by Dalgaard ("Introductory Statistics with R"). Do these books have different emphases,

I am a new R user and so I thought I could start with "Using R for Introductory statistics" by Verzani. In order to use some of the functions and datasets I have to install the simpleR package which is is now inside the UsingR package. I did so using >install.packages("UsingR"). However, the functions such as "simple.freqpoly.R" do not work. I also tried to

Dear r-help, Unfortunately I cannot find in the documentation what determines ranges of a 'box' in the box-and-whisker plot. It is said in "Simple R" (http://www.math.csi.cuny.edu/Statistics/R/simpleR) that they are 1st and 3rd Qus usually. I tried to add to boxplot lines with (quantile(x,probs=0.25)), but lines do not coincide with edges of boxes.

OK, this is very elementary, but I need help. I have looked in Verzani, past postings etc. Problem: I need to subtract the "length" date between "h4" and "a3" #which would be 4-1 I would rather not convert the two columns into four columns (with headings being "a3","a4","c4","h4"). DF <- data.frame(length=c(1,2,3,4),

Hi ! mu name is Paolo and I teach statistic in a small college in Brazil and we use Linux. We started to use R as our statitical software. I,ve been trying to use some commands I see in the documentation online but i doesn not work. Commands like simple.hist.and.boxplot and others related with graphing. Do I need a special ppackage ? how do I load it ? Thanks
