i cannot cajole outer in doing what i want it to do. i hav a function only defined for scalars fun(n,k) and i want to do outer(1:5,1:5,function(x,y) fun(x,y)) (i know this is written somewhat clumsy) to get an array with the values of fun to use it as an input for image this does not work since outer assumes then fun works on arrays elementwise. what is the easiest way of getting what i

Dear R users, I've just posted a similar question about Illustrator. This time I would like to export the results of my statistic tables and my dataframes into Excel files. Up to now I've used write.csv(), but I have to resave every file in .xls in Excel. I would like to know if there is a function or package to export directly into *.xls. I have found xlsReadWrite which would be

I have a big contingency table, approximately of size 60*2*500*500, and I need to count the number of cells containing a count of 1 for each of the factors values defining the first dimension. Here is my attempt: tab1<-with(pisa1,table(CNT,GENDER,ISCOF,ISCOM)) tab2<-apply(tab1,1:4,function(x)ifelse(sum(x)==1,1,0)) tab3<-apply(tab2,1,sum) Computing tab2 is very slow. Is there a faster

I need to play games with an expression similar to the following one: print(xyplot(DepVar ~ Group|Covar, groups=Othergroup, data=mydf, pch = 18 ,main="Testcase",auto.key = TRUE)) The problem is that the formula argument (the first argument) an the groups argument are passed over from another program as strings. The formula argument does not pose problems, I can do

In some languages there is a function gensym() which returns a new unique name (in the current environment). This is quite helpful when one has to do temporary assignments. I could not find such a function in R.

why does teh following code not work? a<-rnorm(50) dim(a)<-c(10,5) mycov<-function(mat,i,j){ sum((mat[,i]-mean(mat[,i]))*(mat[,j]-mean(mat[,j]))) } covmat<-function(X){ outer(1:dim(X)[2],1:dim(X)[2],function(v1,v2){mycov(X,v1,v2)})} from what i know covmat(a) should give the covariance matrix of a, but it gives a matrix with constant

hist(rbinom(1000,10,0.5),col=2,xlim=c(0,10),ylim=c(0,300)) gives a histogram with "touching bars" hist(rbinom(100000,10,0.5),col=2,xlim=c(0,10),ylim=c(0,30000)) gives a histogram with space between the bars. is there a way to control the space betweent he bars easily? -- Erich Neuwirth, Computer Supported Didactics Working Group Visit our SunSITE at http://sunsite.univie.ac.at

typeof applied to a factor always seems to return "integer", independently of the type of the levels. This has a strange side effect. When a variable is "imported" into a data frame, its type changes. character variables automatically are converted to factors when imported into data frames. Here is an example: > v1<-1:3 >

I have problems with Rpad and R 2.10.0 (Windows XP and Windows 7, browser is Firefox) Just starting Rpad by library(Rpad) Rpad() opens the browser and displays the .html files and the .Rpad files in my home directory, but these files do not have links and are not clickable. Doing the same in R 2.9.2 gives clickable links in the browser. Furthermore, in both cases an empty graphics window
