Dear R-help, I find the example() function is extremely useful in many ways. However, there's a minor inconvenience: for long examples, it leaves lots of objects in the workspace. While it's sometimes useful to have the objects around for further exploration, other times they just add to the clutter. Does anyone have a good way of cleaning up afterward? If not, would R core consider

dum is a simple data frame transferred to Splus using the dump() command in Splus and the source() in R. All fields are numeric. There are no missing data. The data frame looks like it is should: > apply(dum,2,mode) yrcl sland s02 s234 "numeric" "numeric" "numeric" "numeric" > apply(dum,2,is.vector) yrcl sland s02 s234

Could someone please point me to a source for the archives of this news group after June 21. I was subscribed to a digest version, but it stopped arriving after that date.

Could someone suggest a mail reader that will parse a digest from r-help into separate messages? Preferably, this reader would allow replies or forwards of separate messages. I use pine on a Sun running SunOS 5.7. If there were an add-on to pine that would accomplish this task, that would be even better. Anne ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Anne E.

Here is a simple example of what I would like to do: Given a data frame foo with variables x and fn. Suppose fn is a vector of characters which correspond to names of previously defined functions which have only one argument. I would like a vector returned where fn is applied to x foo <- data.frame(x=c(2,5,7), fn = letters[c(6,7,6)]) foo$fn <- as.character(foo$fn) "f" <-

I am comparing the Splus and R fits of a simple glm. In the following, foo is generated from rbinom with size = 20 p = 0.5. The coefficients (and SE's0 of the fitted models are the same, but the estimated deviances are quite different. Could someone please tell me why they are so different? I am using R version 1.3.1 and Splus 2000 release 3 on windows 2000. ++++++++++++++++++++++ foo

Dear R Experts, Is there a way in R to add an error bar (say in the y direction) for each data point?

I've been trying to download from CRAN the floppy versions of the R source files: R-release-1.tar.gz, R-release-2.tar.gz I tried the servers in Seattle, Madison, and the Vienna Technical University. In each case, the file(s) were unavailable. Anne ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Anne E. York National Marine Mammal Laboratory Seattle WA 98115-0070 USA e-mail: anne.york at noaa.gov

Dear list, I am facing the following problem with the legend of a plot that display the mean and variance of a measurement y as a function of x, the mean being represented by a dot and the variance by a vertical line. My problem is that I am unable to display the symbol (dot + vertical line) in the legend. any help is welcome, thanks marco --

Hi I'm exporting some graphs from R to M$Word. I used png, jpeg and bmp and the quality is poor when comparing with the postscript. What is the best way to export a chart to be included in a M$Word file ? Thanks EJ

Apologies in advance for the question. I am trying to draw a map of the US as a surface plot so that I would be able to drop bars on the different states (something like Uwe Ligges' scatterplot3d example 4). I am not sure where to start looking for such a beast. If anyone has any pointers, ideas, I will be grateful. TIA, Partha

Hi, I'm looking to create a few basic world maps in R (for Windows). A while back someone asked for the same thing and was referred to the (*.tar) files at: ftp://ftp.mcs.vuw.ac.nz/pub/statistics/map/ which I downloaded. However, I am unable to install them, and clearly I'm not doing something properly (I'm your basic moron when it comes to installation, so please understand).

Hello, I wonder if someone could send me suggestions on how to solve the following problem: I have a vector of an arbitrary size (ex. data<-c(10,10,11,10,12,11,10,12,11,11,10,11)) and use the table function, which gives the following result 10 11 12 5 5 2 that''s fine, but what I would like to do now is: construct new classes based on the number of classes from table, 10

Please don't take this the wrong way. There are a lot of extremely helpful people who subscribe to r-help. I was wondering if it is time to adopt a strategy a-la Splus help whereby people reply to the author and the author summarizes all the replies? Just a thought and have a good weekend. Partha

Hello, I'm looking for a way to plot different data series on one graph. I have a series of hourly rainfall and quarterly flow measurements (i.e. 4 times an hour) of a catchment. The rainfall should be plotted in bars, the flow as a line. Both on the same X axe (time) but with different Y axes. The problem is the plot() function does not support add=TRUE... Furthermore I'm not sure

The example from the help page for strptime has the following oddity: > dates <- c("02/27/92", "02/27/92", "01/14/92", + "02/28/92", "02/01/92") > times <- c("23:03:20", "22:29:56", "01:03:30", + "18:21:03", "16:56:26") > x <-

I just ran into this strange behavior. y <- rnorm(1000) x <- seq(0, length=length(y)) plot(x, y, type='l', lty=1) - instantaneous plot(x, y, type='l', lty=2) - 18s plotting lines + 15s plotting axes = 33s plot(x, y, type='l', lty=3) - 76s ,, + 75s ,, = 151s plot(x, y, type='l', lty=4) -

The help for the round function states: round rounds the values in its first argument to the specified number of decimal places (default 0). Note that for rounding off a 5, the IEEE standard is used, ``go to the even digit''. Therefore round(0.5) is 0 and round(-1.5) is -2. Could someone provide a reference for this standard?

Hello, I just pulled the patched release: R-release Version 1.0.0 Patched (March 19, 2000), on HPUX10.2 I am having dynamic library load problems. I configured with: ./configure --prefix=/home/absd00t/local --with-readline --with-x After changing etc/Makeconf to take -lblas out of libs (the blas library provided by the system is not a shared library), system was built without any interruptions.
