Hi, I try to get the variable labels of a SPSS data file into R but don't find this mentioned in the help file for foreign. Is there another way to get them ? BTW: An SPSS variable name is like: VAR001, whereas the variable label might be 'Identification no.' Thanks in advance, F. Thomas -- ..........................................

Running R 1.1 on RedHat Linux 6.2. I need to write a shell script that goes through a bunch of directories of simulation output, creating summary files that have the mean and standard deviation of the variables found in the data files in each directory. I've got the R code doing almost the right thing. It reads in data, then gets the mean and standard deviation for the numeric variables,

Hi List, I am trying unsucessfully to modify the fontsize of lables in mosaic: require(vcd) mosaic(Titanic, pop=FALSE, labeling_args=list(rot_labels=c(bottom=90,top=90), set_varnames = c(Sex = "Gender"), gp_text=gpar(fontsize=20))) #can't get it to resize text tab <- ifelse(Titanic < 6, NA, Titanic) # it works for labeling_cells labeling_cells(text = tab,

Hi all, can anyone suggest a reason as mto why my xlab is plotting this text at oposite ends of axis. I would like to represent my lable like this: Moran's I ...but with the I in italics. For some reason they seperate and position at oposite ends of the axis?? Thank you library(lattice) dat <- data.frame(x = rnorm(10),y = rnorm(10)) xyplot(y ~ x, dat,xlab=expression("Moran's

Using RedHat Linux 7.0, R-1.2.2, R-hdf5-1.2 library, I want to load a dataset, do some stuff with it, then erase its objects, get an other, repeat. My friend wrote a function which tried to clear away all the objects. At the end, it uses rm() to remove objects. This is the same way we do it interactively, from the R prompt: testLoadSeveralHDF <- function(numFiles) { for (i in

I'm working up a set of small working examples in R to show what various distributions are and the beauty of the central limit theorem. Those example programs are in this directory: http://lark.cc.ukans.edu/~pauljohn/R/ExampleCode/ You can feel free to use those if you want, or you can send me other small working example code for R. The key here is small, self contained things that

Dear Friends in R: On RedHat linux, R-1.1, I've gotten far enough to create the graph that shows on the screen with 3 lines, but I have some trouble. Here is the way I created the three "overlaid" graphs: data<-read.table("DataCulture0",header=T,as.is = TRUE) attach(data) tmp1<-plot(acquaint~T,type='l', ylim=c(0,1),ylab="average

I just heard a talk about a semi-parametric model. I was quite excited by the idea. This model is fitted y= xB + g(z) + e where x is a data matrix, B a column vector, z is another data matrix, and g is a smooth model fitted by a Kernel Smoothing regression (I got the idea any smoother would do as well). The speaker said that when z is considered as a "control" variable, and there is

I have made a plot with a legend and on the screen it looks fine, but when I save as jpg or pdf, or print, the legend box is too small, it cuts through the words on the right side. I put an example here: http://lark.cc.ukans.edu/~pauljohn/R/apdftest.pdf Is there a work around? -- Paul E. Johnson email: pauljohn at ukans.edu Dept. of Political Science

Dear R help reader, I'm not an expert in R and are lerning a lot by reading the help digest, which is sometimes difficult because the huge amount of data posted. I have posted some questions before, and are impressed how quick I got a solution for my problem. Sometimes with quite different suggestions. I was always wondering if my questions didn't come up before. On the other site,

Greetings Everybody: I generated a 1.2MB dta file based on the general social survey with Stata8 for linux. The file can be re-opened with Stata, but when I bring it into R, it says all the values are missing for most of the variables. This dataset is called "morgen.dta" and I dropped a copy online in case you are interested http://www.ku.edu/~pauljohn/R/morgen.dta looks like this

On Linux (RH7.1) with R installed from CRAN rpms: I have many files with miscellaneous names *.dat. I would like to successively open each one, run some functions on them, and then write some output numbers to *.summary. I have succeeded in doing this when I type in each file name individually for the data input, but have not found a way to search files in a directory and grab the *.dat. If

Simple usage questions that I ought to be able to figure on my own, but can't. 1.I'm able to produce a cross tabulation table showing counts with either table or xtabs. But I want column percentages for interpretation, and it seems stupid to sit there with a calculator figuring marginals and column percentages. How to make R do it after this: > x <- c(1,3,1,3,1,3,1,3,4,4)

It seems like every time I try to do something a little different, I cannot get output saved just right. This is on RedHat 7.2 with R 1.4.1. The png output looks fine, but the eps output has the problem that the bounding box on the legend cuts the legend in half. I put a copy of a bad one here: http://lark.cc.ukans.edu/~pauljohn/ResearchPapers/meanProtest-box.eps When I asked about these

Dear r-help, I want to conduct nonlinear fitting to a data frame having x and y variables. Because both x and y have measurement error, I want to include error term of x variable in the model. I'm not sure but I think ordinary nls model only consider error term of y variable. How can I do this kind of nonlinear fitting in R. Is there any examples in nls package? Thanks in advance, --

To all I have some simple questions pertaining to weights used in regression. If the variability of the dependent variable (y) is a function of the magnitude of predictor variable (x), can the use of weights give an appropriate answer to the regression parameters and the std errors? Assume that y at x=1 and 6 has a standard deviation of 0.1 and at x=11 it is 0.4 Then according to a web page on
