Hello I have several replicates (30) of a -- short -- time series (19 obs) and I'd like to estimate the first few lags autocorrelation function. Is there an immediate way of handling multiple realizations when computing the ACF in R? I'm using R-1.4.1 on a Linux Debian box. Thanks in advance claudia ------------------------------------------------------------------------- claudia

Hi all I have a dataset whose response is a categorical variable of the ordinal scale type (6 levels). I'm interested in building classification models, and I'm wondering if there is something implemented in R (or its packages) that I'm not aware of, to treat the ordinal scale measurements straightforwardly. I can think of the alternative of building a conditional (hierarchical)

Hi all I'm running lm()/leaps() kind of computations within a loop, and I submitted the entire thing by sourcing a file of R code in interactive mode. I'd like to interrupt the evaluation of this (it's taking way too long) but I am not able to. I'm running R-1.3.0 from an emacs window (ESS-5.0) and I'm on a linux box, (Debian). I tried Control-c Control-c (nothing happens),

Hi I'm trying to print several plots to a multi-page postscript file. Some plots are output of basic commands, some are produced by "trellis" commands (from the package lattice). Right now I'm not able to get a straightforward black and white color scheme for the latter kind: when I open the postscript file the "trellis" plots are invisible, or parts of them are

Dear R-helpers, I'm plotting geophysical data in the form of contours using "filled.contour". The display would be much more effective if the areas with negative values could be color coded by -- say -- "cold colors" in the range of blue to green, and conversely the areas with positive values got plotted with "warm colors", from yellow to red. Right now if I use

I'm running R-1.4.1 on a linux debian (version 2.2) box. I've tried to upgrade to R-1.6.0, and the execution of make halts with the following error messages: make[4]: Entering directory `/home/tebaldi/R/R-1.6.0/src/library/methods' dumping R code in package 'methods' Error in testRversion(descfile) : This package has not been installed properly See the Note in ?library

Hello I'm upgrading from R-1.4.1 to R-1.5.1, locally on my Linux PC running Debian. after running 'configure' this is what I get (just in case it helps figuring out what follows later...)

Here is the answer to an old question of mine, regarding maps in R Hope this help. claudia ---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Mon, 25 Jun 2001 13:48:05 -0400 From: Kieran Healy <kjhealy at Princeton.EDU> To: Claudia Tebaldi <tebaldi at ucar.edu> Subject: Re: [R] maps in R Hi Claudia -- you can get the maps() library from here:

Hi all Just this morning I upgraded to R 2.12.0 (for Mac OS X 10.6.4). All went well until I needed to run a help() or help.search() in my session, which I'm running within Emacs (ESS 5.3.7). Say I need help with the command 'density'. When I type help(density) or ?density the ESS help buffer opens, it is titled *help[R](density)* but it contains only a couple of lines saying,

Dear R-helpers, I have lat/lon coordinates of regularly spaced grid points, about 4Km apart, covering the entire US continental region. I would like to mask this rectangular grid in order to extract all and only the grid points within a specific region. Today I want to extract Montana, say, from this grid, and I am hoping to somehow use the returned value of the function

I thought I had plotted a map of oregon and washington and overlayed some points using R. Is that possibe since I can't seem to find the source file I used or commands for plotting maps and points? If not, sorry for the bother... Thanks, Jeff. Jeff D. Hamann Hamann, Donald & Associates, Inc. PO Box 1421 Corvallis, Oregon USA 97339-1421 Bus. 541-753-7333 Cell. 541-740-5988 jeff_hamann

Hello I'm trying to render in 3D what I usually plot by image(), or image.plot() from the library fields, followed by a map("world",add=TRUE) type of command. More concretely, I have a field of temperature values, for a given geographic area, and I would like to plot a 3D surface whose x and y axes consist of longitude and latitude values and whose height and color-coding correspond

I'd like to apply the ideas of Pinheiro et al. (1997): "Robust Estimation in LInear Mixed Effects Models using the Multivariate t-Distribution" and I'm wondering if the EM-based estimation described in that paper has been implemented by somebody in R already (I'm assuming it's not yet available within the package nlme -- whose subtitle is "Fit and compare

Hi all I'm plotting colored contour maps using filled.contour. My levels are very unevenly spaced, with, say, high resolution in the small numbers but ranges that can be an order of magnitude or two larger in absolute value compared to where the action takes place. Aside from transforming the data, is there a way to control the color spacing in the key to the right of the map? Right now I

Hi, I have submitted a package to CRAN in ftp://ftp.tuwien.ac.at/incoming/pastecs_1.0.tar.gz. The R extension manual advises to send a mail to cran at ci.tuwien.ac.at about it, but it fails. I have also tried WWWadmin at ci.tuwien.ac.at. Are these email adresses still valid? Best, Philippe Grosjean ...........]<(({?<...............<?}))><............................... ) ) ) )

Hello Is there a simple way of fitting a 'smooth curve' to a time series with the additional constraint that the first derivative be not negative? I know that if I choose a "large enough" window for a moving average sort of filter on my data I end up with a non-decreasing curve anyway, but I'm wondering if there is a pre-built method that can include the constraint from

Hi all, I have a bit of a newbie question here that I hope y'all can help with. I've run a cluster analysis using hclust on about 500 objects (using R1.3 under Win 2000). The problem is that the tips of the dendrogram are so close together on the plot that the labels overlap and are unreadable. I've used "cex" to reduce the label sizes but this isn't sufficient with so

Greetings, I hope this isn't obvious but I've read through the FAQ and the various other R/S books I have and I cannot, for the life of me, figure out how to sort a data frame by a specific variable. Suppose I have a four variable data.frame x and the variables are var1, var2, var3, var4. I want to sort on say var3 simply for display purposes. How can this be accomplished? Thanks

Hello all, Since I got no answer to my first mail, I suspect I did not formulate my question adequately, so I try again. In R, one can debug or trace a function 'foo' with debug(foo) or trace(foo), respectively. This leads to a special treatment of the function 'foo' until one enter undebug(foo) or untrace(foo). I would like to know if there is a convenient way to know at any
