Dear R users, I know of the possibility to import bitmaps via the nice pixmap library. But if you later on create a PDF it is somewhat disappointing to have such graphics bitmapped. Is there a trick (via maps?) to import a vector graphic and have them plotted onto a graph? My searching attempts in the searchable r-help archive did not seem to result in anything useful... Cheers, hinrich

Hi Folks, I'm seeking confirmation of something which is probably true but which I have not managed to find in the documentation. I have a binary response y={0.1} and a variable x and have fitted a probit response to the data with f <- glm( y~x, family=binomial(link=probit) ) and then, with a specified set of x-value X I have used the predict.glm function as p <- predict( f, X,

Aside from An Introduction to R by W. N. Venables, D. M. Smith (the PDF is free), what would people recommend as a good starter book? I was thinking of introductory Statistics with R by Peter Dalgaard. Any thoughts?? My knowledge of Stats is stale and the primary use of R is for time series analysis. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. -- Jonathan jqm475 at gmail.com

Hello, I am looking for CRAN packages that don't teach bad habits. Can I have suggestions? I don't mean the recommended packages that come with R, I mean the contributed ones. I've been sampling a lot of examples and am surprised that many ignore seemingly agreed-upon principles of R coding. In r-devel, almost everyone seems to support the "functional programming" theme

I'm deploying a fairly large number of Cisco 7905 with SIP connected to an asterisk PBX. The problem: the 7905 has this nice "feature": You can set a "voice mail number" in configuration, so that you can listen your voice mail just by hitting the "messages" key on the phone. It just autodials "8500" or whatever else. The customer wants this, so
