Hi, I'm looking for a function which returns the name of the argument object as a string: >vect <- 1:3 >function(vect) "vect" I've looked at 'name', 'names', 'objects', none seem to do exactly what I want. ls/objects comes close, but I can't figure out how to force it to give me only one object name. daver

Hi, Is there a function func(x) where x is an array such that it returns a list of the indices of all non-zero elements of the array? for example: a: 1 0 0 0 0 1 0 1 0 func(a) returns two vectors r and c: r c 1 1 2 3 3 2 daver +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ |David Richmond It works on a | + Dept. of Sociology complex scientific

Hi, suppose I do: b <- matrix(1:9,3,3) bname <- "b" now dim(b) returns [1] 3 3 and dim(bname) returns NULL is there a function to pass bname to such that dim returns the dimensions of b? like dim(somefunc(bname)) returns [1] 3 3 does 'somefunc' exist? daver +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ |David Richmond It

Hi, Is there a simple command to pause a script until the user hits return?

Hi, My plots are all coming out sideways! If I do the following: > postscript("plot1.ps",horizontal=TRUE,paper="letter") > plot(ns,meanpl/maxvec) > dev.off(2) The output file has "ns" on the left and the "meanpl/maxvec" on the top! It doesn't matter if I change the horizontal flag to FALSE. I have noticed, however that If I create my own

Hi, I'm new to R, and trying to map stuff I knew how to do in Matlab to R. For instances, in matlab, sum(x) gave the column sums of matrix(/vector) x. In R it just gives the sum of all the elements, regardless of their form (vector or matrix). Is there a simple way to return a vector of column sums for a matrix? Also, in Matlab binary operators exist for concatenating a matrix onto the end or

Hi, I am trying to write a recursive routine which passes some variables through the function calls but also refers to some global variables. I need the global variables because they are very big (n by n matrices where n is <= 1000) and I don't have the huge amount of memory needed to spawn dozens of copies of these matrices. The problem seems to be that while variables in the root

i am having some problems with a program that i am writing and i think that knowing how the while command works will help me to figure out where i am going wrong *when do you get kicked out of a while loop?* (i.e., in the following example what would the final value of 'a' be?) i thought it would be 99 but running it in R i get 101 (and 101 for x too!) while (x <100) { for (i in

Hi all, I have just installed OSX Server 10.4 and R comes up with the incompatible libxml library message reported by Dan Kelley a few messages ago. Xcode 2 does not ship with Tiger Server. I installed the X-Windows code. I can report that the version of libxml2.2 that is installed in this case is the version 8.0.0 dylib. [6]sboker at munimula:/usr/lib % ls -l libxml2.2* -rwxr-xr-x 1

Hello colleagues, I am a novice with R and am stuck with an analysis I am trying to conduct. Any suggestions or feedback would be very much appreciated. I am analyzing a data set of psi (ESP) ganzfeld trials. The response variable is binary (correct/incorrect), with a 25% base rate. I've looked around the documentation and other online resources and cannot find how I can correct for

I recently installed samba 1.9.18p8. Since then, we get the following error: "No domain server was available to validate your password. You may not be able to gain access to some network resources." after the server has been running for >48 hours. If I stop and restart the server, everything is ok again. Our samba server is a Sun Ultra 2170 running Solaris 2.5.1. Any help will

Hello colleagues, This is a follow up to a question I posed in November regarding an analysis I was working on. Thank you to Dr. Brian Ripley and Dr. John Fox for helping me out during that time. I am conducting logistic regression on data set on psi (ESP) ganzfeld trials. The response variable is binary (correct/incorrect), with a 25% guessing base rate. Dr. Ripley suggested that I

I was wondering whether the following inconsistency of the promax rotation function with the results of a promax rotation using SAS should be considered a bug in the promax function of R. Any comments will be highly appreciated. The following is a loading matrix obtained from a varimax rotation in SAS: # Factor loadings after varimax rotation x <- t(array(c(0.78107, 0.35573,

Since upgrading samba to version 2.0.3, we're now unable to create new Visual C++ files, projects and build executables in network home directories. No other problems are reported! When creating a new Project an error message occurs: "The specified filename is invalid", except C++ goes ahead and creates the directory. It does create the necessary directory, but never seems to find

Hi, In order to avoid deep copies by passing large arguments to functions or returning values, I'm trying to do the assignment of variables in a given environment. The problem is when I try to assign a structure: a list for example. If I have: ind <- c("a","b") my idea is doing something like l <- alist() l[ind] <- as.list(c(20,40)) in a given
