Dear Colegues: I have tried to reach Ray Brownrigg, Ray.Brownrigg at mcs.vuw.ac.nz but my mails have turned back with the following comment did not reach the following recipient(s): Brownrigg at mcs.vuw.ac.nz on Mon, 31 Jul 2006 12:52:39 +0100 There is no such account in the address =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=

I am using R1.2.0 on Windows NT4.0 and am looking for information on drawing geographical maps. [The things I'd like to do at the moment are rather simple, just like plotting the values of some variable (e.g. a SMR) on a given map.] Searching the r-help mailing list archives, it seems this topic comes up from time to time. For example, in November 1999 Ray Brownrigg writes about an "R

This bug appears in the current Windows build; I don't know if it applies generally.

A new package "g.data" is available on CRAN, to create and maintain databases that work more like the S-Plus model. Here's the official Description for g.data (v1.2): Create and maintain delayed-data packages (DDP's). Data stored in a DDP are available on demand, but do not take up memory until requested. You attach a DDP with g.data.attach(), then read from it and assign

That's a start, but the reality is that it isn't enough. There will be many sites that don't upgrade O/S versions except at possibly very long

Anybody interested in the S maps library for R? I have ported a limited version of the software for a Unix platform, and would be happy to make it available for anybody interested. If there is a lot of interest then I will submit it to CRAN. I know that Ross Ihaka is working on a new version for R, which does not have some of the limitations of the original S version. My version does not do

R gurus, On Aug 20, 2002, I asked in R-help about calculating a running 5-day median on a large matrix. Thanks to Martin Maechler <maechler@stat.math.ethz.ch> and Ray Brownrigg <Ray.Brownrigg@mcs.vuw.ac.nz> for responding. I ended up writing C code (and an R interface) to do it, which is about 1000x faster than the naive method! (72s became .09s on a 223 x 520 matrix). I added a

Has anyone else seen this behavior from the "maps" package? map('state', fill=TRUE) results in a lively mix of overlapping polygons inside a map of the US, but they have no obvious relationship to state boundaries. (See attached jpeg.) -------------- next part -------------- I reinstalled the maps and mapdata packages from ftp://ftp.mcs.vuw.ac.nz/pub/statistics/map/

Very helpful. One (possible) correction inline below...

I have been using delay() quite successfully to 'load on reference' some large data files (earthquake catalogues). One minor difficulty I have not been able to overcome is that upon first reference, the data set is loaded into memory as expected, but also remains as a permanent object in the user's environment, instead of appearing to be only in the library from which it was loaded.

Hi, I'm looking to create a few basic world maps in R (for Windows). A while back someone asked for the same thing and was referred to the (*.tar) files at: ftp://ftp.mcs.vuw.ac.nz/pub/statistics/map/ which I downloaded. However, I am unable to install them, and clearly I'm not doing something properly (I'm your basic moron when it comes to installation, so please understand).

I sent a post to find a clever way to compute a Rolling Average of columns in a matrix and I was given the solution below which I am very pleased with. RollingAverage <- function(x, RollingObs) { cx <- cumsum(x); N <- length(x); Temp <- (cx[RollingObs:N] - c(0, cx[1:(N-RollingObs)]))/RollingObs Output <- array(NA, N) Output[RollingObs:N] <- Temp; Output } The only
