Dear userR, With the following results, are they correct or acceptable? > x <- c(1.4, 1.2, 2.8) > sum(x) [1] 5.4 > sum(x) == 5.4 [1] FALSE > (1.4 + 1.2 + 2.8) - 5.4 [1] -8.881784e-16 > (1.4 + 1.2) - 2.6 [1] -4.440892e-16 > 2.6 - 1.5 - 1.1 [1] 0 > version _ platform i386-pc-mingw32 arch i386 os mingw32 system i386, mingw32 status major 2 minor

Dear all, I found that the plotmath seems won't work on xlab in plot (and other plot functions including matplot, contour, ...): > plot(1:10, 1:10, xlab=expression(alpha)) the plot shows nothing for x-label. My R-version is R.1.1.0 > version _ platform Windows arch x86 os Win32 system x86, Win32 status major 1

Dear R and ESS users, I got the following error when trying to load a source file (smart.R in directory E:\R\) into XEmacs through the menu iESS and "Load source file": Error in file(file, "r") : unable to open connection In addition: Warning message: cannot open file `E:Rsmart.R' It seems the slash "/" or "\" being missing, but I don't know

Dear R-friends, After change (and saved) font style to "bold" in GUI preferences from menu-bar Edit, R 1.2.0, Win98, the "buflines" in the file Rconsole changed to "bufiles" and that causes error in invoking R next time. Is this a bug? Merry Christmas & Best regards, C. Joseph Lu Department of Statistics National Cheng-Kung University Tainan, Taiwan

Dear R-Friends, Do we have a similar R function to work like Minitab's INDICATOR? INDICATOR C2, C11-C15 C2 C11 C12 C13 C14 C15 2 1 0 0 0 0 2 1 0 0 0 0 5 ------> 0 0 0 1 0 3 0 1 0 0 0 6 0 0 0 0 1 5 0 0 0 1 0 * * * * *

Please forgive me if this has been asked and answered, since I just can't find out. As I try the example given in the help page of xyplot() as follows: > library(lattice) Loading required package: grid Attaching package `lattice': The following object(s) are masked from package:base : levels > data(quakes) > xyplot(long ~ lat , data = quakes) R crashed!

Dear R users: How can I use panel.qqmathline, in package lattice, to add straight lines onto the plots generated by qqmath? I read help pages of qqmath, panel.qqmathline, xyplot, ..., but just can't one example that shows how to make it work. For example, > data(sleep) > qqnorm(~ extra | group, data=sleep, aspect=1) how can I use panel.qqmathline? Thanks very much for your help,

Hello useRs, Is there a way to write code in R to ring a bell in Windows? Best regards, C. Joseph Lu Department of Statistics National Cheng-Kung University Tainan, Taiwan ROC _______________________________________________________________________

Dear R-friends, When I selected "Save as postscript" via mouse left-button on the active "R Graphics" window, those colored lines I made in the plot changed in the saved postscript file, e.g., color blue becomes green, red becomes blue, ... I have not changed any setting/options. What's going on? My version of R is > version _ platform i386-pc-mingw32 arch

Dear R-friends, I have whole bunch of objects, say, A, B, ..., Z, all of them are "list" and haveing "Title" (a character string) as their first element. E.g., > A$Title [1] "Airplane Component" What I like to do is to find a way to printout all the Titles at one time. I tried the following: > paste(LETTERS, "Title", sep="$") ->

Dear R-Friends, Sorry to bother everyone with my earlier question: "Do we have similar R function to work like Minitab's INDICATOR?" I found the way to make things work: e.g., > x <- c(2,2,5,3,6,5,NA) > model.matrix(~ factor(x) - 1) factor(x)2 factor(x)3 factor(x)5 factor(x)6 1 1 0 0 0 2 1 0 0 0

Dear R-friends, As the binary windows version of R being distributed, what is the correct way to install contributed packages without using winst.exe as before? The answer in "R for Windows FAQ" says: "You can install pre-compiled packages either from CRAN or from a local .zip file by using install.packages: see its help page." But the information available in

Dear R-users, The numerical integration example given in Gentleman and Ihaka (2000), "Lexical Scope and Statistical Computing," JCGS, 9, 491-508, is very interesting and helpful in understanding how lexical scope is about. However, I got some questions that I just can't figure out. First all, allow me to copy the two functions given by the authors: midpoint <- function(f, a,

Hello Everyone, Just a note to inquire about the status of the "official" RWin release. I downloaded the binaries from CRAN using the link provided by Guido Masarotto <http://sirio.stat.unipd.it/RWin> soon after they appeared on CRAN. However, following R help, it seems that there are some problems with that compilation, particularly related to GRID and Lattice. Sure enough, I

I just installed R-1.4.0 on my Win2k machine from SetupR.exe. Everything seems to be fine with the base and recommended packages. However, when I install the lattice and grid packages they do not seem to work. Everything I try results in something like this: Instruction 0x00543f06 refernced memory 0x00000000. The memory cannot be "read". and I am getting kicked out of R. Has

Dear R-Friends, How can I calculate a double integral like \int_a^b \int_c^y g(x, y) dx dy where a, b, c are constants, g(x, y), e.g., g(x, y) = tan(x + y). I tried to nested integrate() and adapt(), but none of them working, seemingly due to the limits can not be specified constants. Best regards, C.

Hi I have some panel data for the 50 US states over about 25 years, and I would like to test a simple model via OLS, using this data. I know how to run OLS in R, and I think I can see how to create Panel Corrected Standard Errors using http://jackman.stanford.edu/classes/350C/pcse.r What I can't figure out is how to correct for autocorrelation over time. I have found a lot of R stuff on
