Hi, Can anyone tell me what might cause this error message? Error in .Fortran("swallocate", as.double(mtx), as.double(wt), as.integer(n), : C/Fortran function name not in load table This occurs when I copied the Splus stepwise() function into R. I can source into R fine, but when I need to call that function on some dataset, I got the above error message. Platform

Hi, I was tutoring in the lab when a student asked me this question. Is it possible to save the work done in R, then source it back in AND display all the work within R later? I know that one can save the history (i.e. all the codes in a session) in *.R format, then source it back in at a later stage. However the historical codes will not be displayed within R, only the line source(...) is

Hi there, I'm trying to get the manual for an R package (that I'm creating) to work... Firstly, I created the *.Rd files (by following the instructions in "Writing R Extensions" and using prompt() in R, then edit the *.Rd files. I then copy them into the "pkg/man" directory as suggested by the manual. However when I load the library (successfully) in R, I cannot

Well, R is not S+ nor SPSS. Although it is sort of similar to S+ in terms of how you use it... You can get it from http://cran.r-project.org/ To know more about what it really is, you can get my PowerPoint presentation from: http://www.stat.auckland.ac.nz/~kwan022/pub/R/Introduction/ or and article I wrote from: http://www.stat.auckland.ac.nz/~kwan022/pub/SDK/SAD/Journal/ If you're a

Hi there, I'm trying to write an R library (for Windows version) when I encountered this problem. I put in a dataset called mussels into a sub-folder, data (I saw this is how it is done in other libraries). However when I load the library in R and typed: data(mussels) it complains it cannot find the data set in the library. Everything else works fine (so far), am I missing something

Hi, Somehow I forgot how to do this... Say I have a command that produced a 28 x 28 data matrix. How can I output the matrix into a txt file (rather than copy/paste the matrix)? Thanks...

Hi, I think I found the problem. It lies in my Fortran program. Is there a way, after a DO loop, to make sure it does NOT return anything?

Hi, Suppose I have a matrix with, say 12 columns. I would like to extract out column 2 ~ 8 and 11 ~ 12 then combine them together. I tried with success to extract out the columns by doing: foo <- test[,2:8] goo <- test[,11:12] However then I am having trouble combining foo and goo. Helps are appreciated!

Hi there, Just out of curious, is there any difference between loess() and lowess() in R (and Splus in fact). Which one is more often used?

Hi, Can anyone tell me how I can compile R from source under Windows environemtn (I kind of know how to do it in a UNIX enviroment)? What I mean is, suppose I make some changes in the R base, or reorganising the libraries, and want to compile into a Setup.exe file (like the one located in CRAN), how should I do this? Many thanks in advance... Ko-Kang Wang

Hi, Suppose I have a dataset with 10 columns, let's call it "foo". Now if I want to extract out only column 2 ~ 8, then I know I can use either: foo[ ,2:8] or fooNew <- list( foo[ ,2:8] ) (Is there any other alternative, just out of curiosity?) But, if I only want, say, column 1, 4 and 7, I tried: fooNew <- list( x = foo[ ,1], y = foo[ ,4], z = foo[ , 7] )

Hi, I'm just wonder if there is an R equivalent function of gam() - which exist in Splus. Also does anyone know if the library( modreg ), which comes with the installation file of R 1.3.0 (Windows version), exists in the previous versions of R (again, Windows version)? Or does one need to install the library into the previous versions of R explicitly? Thanks, Ko-Kang Wang

Hi, Now suppose I have just one list called FOO, which has 25 objects, e.g.: [[1]] 1 2 3 4 5 [[2]] 6 7 8 9 10 . . . And I want to do something like: FRED <- data.frame(cbind(unlist(FOO[[1]]), unlist(FOO[[2]]), # ... for all 25 subsets )) Is it possible to do this, without doing unlist(FOO[[i]]) 25

Hi, I input this command on a data matrix: > apply( traffic, 2, function(z){z-mean(z)}) and got the following error messages: Error in sum(..., na.rm = na.rm) : invalid "mode" of argument Can anyone tell me what is wrong here?

Hi, Does anyone know how to manually configure the number of digits printed out from xtable()? For example, I'm exporting a data frame through xtable() into a LaTeX table, I only have two columns in the data frame so by default I only get two decimal places. But I'd like at least 5 decimal places. I had a look at ?xtable() but can't seem to find an example. Cheers, Kevin

Hi, I've been reading the Data Import and Export manual (page 25 on Connection chapter) but somehow I can't manage to get what I want. I have a 28x28 distance matrix, which I would like to export to a file. What I did was something like: zz <- file("ex.data", "w") # open an output file connection cat( traffic.manDist, file = zz ) # traffic.manDist is my

Hi, Suppose I've got a data set that I found the eigenvalues and eigenvectors. Then I want to draw a screeplot for the eigenvalues. However it returns: Error in matrix(w.m, nc = NC) : negative extents to matrix Then I tried a plot() function on the eigenvalues of the data set, and I can successfully draw it! And the output looks like what the screeplot would show to me. Is there any

Hi, I was trying to read in the following data set by using: gas <- read.table("gas.tab", header = T) when I got the error message: Error in "row.names<-.data.frame"(*tmp*, value = row.names) : duplicate row.names are not allowed Any help are appreciated. Thanks, Ko-Kang Wang

Hi, Suppose I want to test a set of random numbers (using the Binormal random number generator), input the following command to generate a set of random numbers: test <- rbinom( 10000000, 1, 0.5 ) How can I, after obtaining the result, export the vector "test" into an text file? Then, suppose I want to do something like: > x <- 1e10 > x [1] 1e+10
