Well, maybe this is sort of related... Eric Raymond has written an article for the Linux Journal on how to build an Ultimate Linux Box. You can find the whole thing at http://www2.linuxjournal.com/cgi-bin/frames.pl/articles/style/0014.html The machine is said to compile the Linux 2.4.9 kernel in 1 min. 50 sec. I wonder how long it might take to build R on this beast... Cheers, Andy >

Happy New Year, r-helpers! I am using lowess to smooth a scatter plot, xx<-lowess(xinput,f=.04) #defaults for other args followed by turnpoints(xx$y) #defaults for other args I plot the smoothed result as well as turnpoints (using yy$tppos) on top of raw data plot. Result is exactly as expected, graphically. For another purpose, I calcuate the difference between turnpoints (representing

Dear All, I have a problem understanding the difference between the outcome of a fisher exact test and a chi-square test (with simulated p.value). For some sample data (see below), fisher reports p=.02337. The normal chi-square test complains about "approximation may be incorrect", because there is a column with cells with very small values. I therefore tried the chi-square with

As to call files of another softwares(as, Excel, minitab) to be manipulated inside of R-plus? Respectfully Regiane -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL: https://stat.ethz.ch/pipermail/r-help/attachments/20011112/23b21666/attachment.html

One of the few things that I miss from Splus is the ability of interactively add text and symbols to graphics that have been created by functions. I understand that the best solution in R is to create a graphic file and use external software for editing the graphic. I know what to use in the Win environment, but could anyone suggest what tools would be appropriate under Linux? Thanks Agus Dr.

(Thanks for answers on my naif dual processor question!). I'm going to compile R-1.4.0 for linux (Suse 7.3) and hesitate at including the gnome interface. Do people that have tried the gnome interface recommend it? How is R started with this interface? If I build with the --with-gnome option, will still have the option of actually not using the interface if I don't find it useful?

After I source an R code, how can I call the function? Thanks Rick --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free. Checked by AVG anti-virus system (http://www.grisoft.com).

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) -

I'm trying to do a fresh install on a new server that has a 3ware 9000 controller. I followed the instructions on the 3ware manual and used a floppy with the drivers for RH WS3 (Update 2) but it doesn't work. After it asks me to load the disk it reads for a while and then it says it did not find any drivers that pertain to this system. I tried loading the 3w9xxx driver unsuccesfully, it

Hi all, I apologise for this off-topic question, but wanted to hear from a third-party as well. Recently, like the last week or so, I've started getting blank emails from this list. Blank as in no message text is visible in the email. If I do a ctrl-A however, something does get marked. Evidently there is a message, just not visible. This particular list is the only one I've noticed

Hi, I'd like to make a legend with a mix of mathematical symbol (tau), numeric variable and character variables.I have tried : types<-c("Type 1","Type 2","Type 2") tau<-c(1,3,2) legend(x="topright",legend=paste(types,"tau=",expression(tau))) but it doesn't work: the 'tau' symbol is not written in its 'symbol

I find apps running in wine are unbearably slow. In particular - HTML-Kit by Chami. I really like this editor on NT at work, I want to use it at home on my FreeBSD box. It works in wine, just very very slowly. I do not have a windows partition. I'm running wine by itself. Any suggestions on ways to get speedier results? -- Chip

All, I have updated my practical introduction to using R to analyse epidemiological data for the March 2001 Computer Software in Epidemiology course at the Nordic School of Public Health to include a short section on object orientation.

All, I have some data on parasites on apple leaves and want to do a goodness of fit test to a Poisson distribution. This seems to do it: mites <- c(rep(0,70), rep(1,38), rep(2,17), rep(3,10), rep(4,9), rep(5,3), rep(6,2), rep(7,1)) tab <- table(mites) NSU <- length(mites) N <-

Dear all, Is there a function to generate a Poisson cluster process? I believe that S-plus has a function to generate some point processes, make.pattern(), which include a Poisson cluster process.

We have a windows 2003 dc here at the university and I have successfully setup samba-3.0.2-6.3E on a RHEL WS3 machine. The problem is that after several hours, or several days winbind stops running and connections fail. I have seen instances of this on other sites, but no firm answers. I can provide files and logs if helpful

While it is amazing that Sourcesafe runs under Wine, its performance leaves a lot to be desired. I am using Sourcesafe with Wine (my setup is documented at http://www.kegel.com/linux/vss-howto.html ). The Wine I'm using is from CVS as of last week. My workstation is a dual Pentium Xeon 1400MHz from Dell running 2.4.10. (That's a Pentium 4 Xeon using RDRAM, so it's probably about

Hi, While running Spore (steam version) on 1.1.42 with a GeForce 8600GT on Arch Linux x86-64, everything worked fine except for occasional DxDllReg.exe crashes. I have since replaced the card with an ATi Radeon HD4800 and the user interface now unbearably flickers, garbles (inflated bits of text and other UI elements appearing randomly) and generally looks far from correct (to the point where I

Hi, I have a set of script like this: ---------------------- summary(data) plot(time, users, type="o", xlab ="Time", ylab="Number of Users") ---------------------- I type "rterm --slave < script.r > output.doc" and the graphic doesn't actually in the output.doc file. How to make the graphic embedded in Word or Excel file? Thanks, Yu-Ling Wu

HI there, Well, I am stuck again. How do I turn off axis annotation? Oh, and thanks to Peter Dalgaard for his help with my last question. I have an observation that others there may find interesting. In the windows implementation of R, the tck option of par() does not seem to operate as the reference manual indicates. Apparently the length of ticks using this option is supposed to be
