Hello -- I'm using R-1.4.0 on a PC running SuSE Linux 7.1. Following Christian Ritter's announcement this morning, I downloaded the new versions of lattice and grid. I find that loading the lattice library causes postcript() to include a blank first page when creating a file. Like this: > # Create regular postscript file of a plot >

Hi - I'm trying to build R 1.6.1 on a Powerbook running Macintosh 10.2.2 with the most recent software update. The latest version of the developer tools is installed. I have also installed g77 and f2c from fink (the binary versions, using apt-get). ./configure fails with the following error: > checking for dummy main to link with Fortran 77 libraries... unknown > configure: error:

Dear R users - I am a first-time R user trying to compile v.0.90.0 under Caldera OpenLinux 2.3, on a Dell PII400/128. I've encountered a problem with the make file. First, I run configure, which appears to complete properly. (I had to download an updated gcc library from caldera for this to happen though.) At the end of its run, config reports: > R is now configured for

Dear R-users -- I'm using R 1.3.0 on a PC running SuSE Linux 7.1. I'm confused by the following behavior from the gsub() function. Am I doing something wrong? ## A string of characters > string<-c("q","w","e","(",")","q","w","e") ## Use gsub to replace `q' with `A' >

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

Hi - I have some data consisting of a number of observations within each of 15 countries. Each country falls into one of two groups. I'd like to use the lattice library's bwplot to present boxplots of the country-level data, with a separate panel for each group, but showing only the relevant countries in each panel. Here's an analogous example using the "singer" data

Hi - I'm running R 1.8.1 (compiled from source) on Mac OS X 10.3 (Panther). I find that, if Apple's X11 application is not running, Sweave gives an error when it wants to create a pdf or eps figure. E.g., in the package's own example-1.Snw file a boxplot is created at chunk 2: <<fig=TRUE,echo=FALSE>>= boxplot(Ozone ~ Month, data = airquality) @ Normally this will create

Hello, I'm running R 2.14.1 on OS X (x86_64-apple-darwin9.8.0/x86_64 (64-bit)), with version 3.28 of Thomas Lumley's survey package. I was using predict() from svyglm(). E.g.: data(api) dstrat<-svydesign(id=~1,strata=~stype, weights=~pw, data=apistrat, fpc=~fpc) out <- svyglm(sch.wide~ell+mobility, design=dstrat, family=quasibinomial()) pred.df <-

Hello - thanks to Prof. Ripley and Peter Dalgaard for their helpful responses. I have now successfully compiled R on my machine. The kernel-headers were not installed on my machine, but there is a package on the Open Linux 2.3 CD. I believe they weren't installed simply because I didn't choose to have all the development tools/libraries added when I installed linux. I didn't realize

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,

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)

Hello again -- inevitably, I discovered the (documented) answer 30 seconds after sending my question. Using gsub(...,extended=FALSE) is the way to avoid this issue.

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 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

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

There is probably an elegant and efficient way to do this -- perhaps already implemented, and some of you knows it. Myself, I'm getting stuck in long loops ... Here is the question: I have a long (80,000 + obs) binary time series. For each of its elements I'd like to compute and save in a vector "the number of steps 'til the first switch of state happens". For example,

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

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),

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

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...)
