similar to: how do I install add on packages?

I've figured out how to use optim (barely) to estimate 2 parameter = weibull distributions. I can't get over how easy this is. What I need to = do is use a weight in the observations..... For example,=20 the tree diameters and weights are are=20 4.70 , 100 6.00, 98 7.10, 75.0 8.10, 86.3 8.60, 80.456 8.90, 20.5 9.50, 16.6 11.40, 12.657 11.80, 12.47 14.50,

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

I've been trying to figure out how to get the names of the parameter vector variables when inside the function that nlm calls to return the objective function value: knls <- function( theta, eqns, data, fitmethod="OLS", instr=NULL, S=NULL ) { ## print( names( theta ) ) # returns NULL ## get the values of the parameters for( i in 1:length( theta ) )

I'm trying to build a vector (fitting systems of equations) and I'm having a little trouble getting the response variables from a list of formulas... bdgmodel <- lbdg ~ d1sqr + ld1 + lhg hgmodel <- lhg ~ ht2 + lht + whc inst <- ~ d1sqr + ld1 + ht2 + lht + whc systemeq <- list( bdgmodel, hgmodel ) # manually generate the y matrix... y <- cbind( matrix( lbdg ),

I'm trying to make sure my R package will install properly (build help files, etc) and when I try to run the rcmd check (or any rcmd option) I get the following error. Does dcf.pm stand for perl module? If not, why do I get this message? C:\systemfit\r_code>rcmd check --help Can't locate R/Dcf.pm in @INC (@INC contains: c \PROGRA~1\r\rw1041\share\perl; /usr/lib/perl5/5.6.1/cygwin-multi

Okay, I stumped. I'm trying to build a matrix or data.frame that consists of values by group. For example, resid, group 574 0.536196370873122 E 575 0.93191093696265 E 576 -1.27116094894117 A 577 -1.05159666055027 A 578 0.398273458301184 D 579 0.586373126102573 E 580 0.806575304513802 E 581 0.897258393118338 E 582 0.342393324256838 D 583 0.781245511773227 E I

I've developed a dll (win32) of a bunch of functions prototypes as: /* for building on *nix */ #ifndef WIN32 #define __stdcall /*nothing*/ #endif void __stdcall dbh_2_height( const unsigned long *func_idx, const unsigned long *metric, const unsigned long *species, const double *dbh, double *pred_height ); and have created a R interface

I'm frightfully new at developing r packages. I'm developing an econometrics package, and each time I update my beta package, I close R, delete the package dir in the library dir, rebuild the zip file, rerun R, reinstall the package and run the functions. Is there a more efficient way? Jeff. Jeff D. Hamann Hamann, Donald & Associates, Inc. PO Box 1421 Corvallis, Oregon USA 97339-1421

I've been working on a new package and I have a few questions regarding the behaviour of the nlm function. I've been (for better or worse) using the nlm function to fit a linear model without suppling the hessian or gradient attributes in the objective function. I'm curious as to why the nlm requires 31 iterations (for the linear model), and then it doesn't work when I try to add

Dear R programming folks: I'm trying to finish off a package for non-linear simultaneous system estimation and I've been trying to figure out how to get the names of the parameter vector variables when inside the function that nlm calls to return the objective function value: knls <- function( theta, eqns, data, fitmethod="OLS", instr=NULL, S=NULL ) { ## print(

I've been having problems with Rterm.exe not shutting down when I exit an R (1.7.0 and 1.7.1) session from within emacs when using ESS. I've just upgraded to 5.1.24 and still have the same problems. I'm running ntemacs and winxp. I don't recall having these troubles with version 1.6.2 of R. Jeff. --- Jeff D. Hamann Hamann, Donald and Associates, Inc. PO Box 1421 Corvallis, Oregon

I've got a c function in a dll and have been able to call it from R. The function is : void __stdcall testfunc2( unsigned long *a, double *b, unsigned long *c, double *result ) { *result = 0; *result = (*a) * (*b) * (*c); } and the R code to call the function is as follows: dyn.load("c:/openfvs/biometrics/debug/biometrics.dll" ) tf2 <- function(

I would like to produce a set of values, on the same chart, from an sql table that is structured like... species dbh ht expf DF 1.2 8.9 10.0 DF 2.4 17.3 12.4342 DF 3.1 20.9 56.76 PP 2.3 16.9 100.0 PP 12.8 97.3 40.3 PP 8.2 63.0 98.34 . . . SS blah, blah, blah... is it possible to, using a single command in the plot command to plot the different groups on the same plot or will I have to iterate

I would like to plot lots of plots (2x2 plots) of a set of data for many sets. I can do it just fine for one set of data, but I would like to generate a small mountain of plots for others to examine. Basically, I would like to generate the same par( mcol=c(2,2) ) plot for about 1000 datasets. I've been iterating through them in the plot window, but I would like to send all the plots to a eps

Are these posts available in journal form so I could get only one message a day? I really enjoy getting the lowdown on R and I'm really putting it to work and have almost stopped using that other package whose initials are "SAS", but I' like to unclutter the inbox. Or are these archived at the end of the day, week, or month? I wouldn't want to go for a week without learning

I know this topic has had plenty of discussion in the last couple of days, but.... I've been trying to compare the effects of different fitted methods for systems of equations (OLS, SUR, 2SLS, 3SLS ) and would like to compare the residual plots (easy) and the qqnorm/qqplot of the fits for the different fitted methdos. For example, qqnorm( residuals( lm( q ~ p + f + a ) ) ) par( new = TRUE )

I see the uderscore "_" is not allowed in R. This make R a real drag when trying to use with SQL packages and c code. Why is the underscore not allowed and will it be allowed in a future release?

I'm trying to create some trellis plots (like the last plot in the lattice demo). When I run the demo( "lattice" ), the demo runs just fine, but when I cut and paste some or all of the demo code into a r file of mine (and nothing else), I can't see anything on a device and it doesn't look like any of the demo is being run. Has anyone else seen this? Jeff. Jeff D. Hamann

I'm trying to use the lattice package (and have run into the message before) where I will get the following when trying to plot.... Error in clearpage() : Error: X11 cannot allocate additional graphics colors. Consider using X11 with colortype="pseudo.cube" or "gray". What do I need to do to get rid of this so that I can use the graphics libraries to their fullest
