similar to: Validating R after it has been installed!

Hello All, I was wondering if anyone has a viable syntax solution for using rsync with the --exclude and --delete option. I have been using the rsync process to backup certain files and filesystems for ease of recovery in the event of unexpected downtime on the primary. I recently noticed that the process is not deleting files on the destination host that were removed from the source at some

Hello all, I am 2 days old in compiling and installing R-1.3.1 and having all kinds of problems with one particular package named "Matrix_0.3-15.tar.gz" Where should I start? OK! I have successfully installed R version R-1.3.1 as well as a host of other packages (piece of cake). When I tried to install the Matrix package, I got an error message stating that the "BLAS library

Greetings- I'm venturing into a new (for me) area of using R: some presentation graphics based on R data. I'd like to compare two distributions of ordinal variables in relatively small (N=203 and 207) subsets of an R dataset. I can get a reasonably good picture of the distributions' differences with: x11() plot(table(hcd.df$auth.sum[hcd.df$datecat==1]),

Greetings- I have a strange problem displaying a graph from R (1.3.1, linux) in a LaTeX document of documentclass seminar. I'm using graphicx to include the file: \usepackage{graphicx} ... \resizebox{\textwidth}{\textheight}{\includegraphics{crime.eps}} When I do this, the entire slide (including the page number) is rotated 180 degrees. Any ideas why this happens? The graph was created

Hello! Can I use DBM databases (as they are used in Perl) for the import of large datasets in R? Thanks in advance for your help, Petra Steiner - --------------------------------------------------- Petra Steiner Arbeitsbereich Linguistik Universitaet Muenster Huefferstrasse 27 48149 Muenster

Hi can anyone recommend a perl module that I can use to run R? Stephen

Dear R-help list users, I have a question about saving a graph as .png file under Unix. The R version is 1.2.2. The message I am getting is Error in X11(paste("png::", filename, sep = ""), width, height, pointsize, : unable to start device PNG No png support in this version of R even though when I do help on png it shows that it should be working ok and it should be

Greetings- I have some data on which I need to do something like a Hierarchical Linear Model (please bear with me, I'm only learning the technique so I don't know yet if my language is correct). Essentially I'm analyzing data at two levels simultaneously; data are about individuals an organizations of which they are members. Can someone point me toward an appropriate package in R?

Dear R-users, I use R to run spatial stuff and it takes up a lot of ram. Runs can take hours or days. I am thinking of getting a new desktop. Can R take advantage of the dual-core system? I have a dual-core computer at work. But it seems that right now R is using only one processor. The new computers feature quad core with 3GB of RAM. Can R take advantage of the 4 chips? Or am I better off

Greetings. I've been experimenting with some algorithms for document classification (specifically, a Naive Bayes classifier and a kNN classifier) and I would now like to calculate some inter-rater reliability scores. I have the data in a PostgreSQL database, such that for each document, each measure (there are 9) has three variables: ap_(measure), nb_(measure), and knn_(measure). ap is me

Hi everyone, I'm interested in running R remotely from a Perl program--specifically I want to plot some data in Perl and return the graph as an object to Perl. Does anyone know if this is possible?

Hi All I am really very interested in starting to use R within our company. I particularly like the open source nature of the product. My company is a medical research company which is part of the University of London. We conduct contract virology research for large pharma companies. My question is how do we validate this software? I wonder if anyone else has had the problem and might be able to

Apologies in advance for the question. I am trying to draw a map of the US as a surface plot so that I would be able to drop bars on the different states (something like Uwe Ligges' scatterplot3d example 4). I am not sure where to start looking for such a beast. If anyone has any pointers, ideas, I will be grateful. TIA, Partha

I use RODBC and RpgSQL quite a lot to access files stored in another machine under PostgreSQL. Since I am now using files which do not fit into R's memory, I would like to take random samples. What I would like is to issue a query such as SELECT * FROM file WHERE runif > 0.9 with "runif" being a uniformly distributed random number, generated on the fly; but I cannot

R-users -- I would like to make a single vector out of something like the following: y0 <- rep(0,100) y1 <- rep(1,20) and stack them one on top of the other to a vector y with length 120.

What is the rails idiom for submit buttons on forms? All other field types have helpers, but button_to creates its own form, so should not be used. I''ve looked in "Agile Web Dev. with Rails" but can''t see what I should do instead. Is this "difficult" because it runs counter to AJAX type forms? And, related, is there a way to ensure that hitting return in

Is there a "canned" function in R for finding the standard error of the mean? I have tried > sem <- function(x) c(mean =mean(x), + SEM = stdev(x)/sqrt(length(x))) > sem(pnet.lai) Error in sem(pnet.lai) : couldn't find function "stdev" It looks like there is no stdev function in R Thanks, Kirk Kirk R.

A while ago I asked about data management approaches in R. I was asked by several people to post a summary of the responses and alas I am just getting around to doing it. I received several comments, both on and off list. Below is a compilation of these responses. Hope this is as helpful to others as it was to me. Best, Brett 1. Frank Harrell recommended a section, "Operating in

Please don't take this the wrong way. There are a lot of extremely helpful people who subscribe to r-help. I was wondering if it is time to adopt a strategy a-la Splus help whereby people reply to the author and the author summarizes all the replies? Just a thought and have a good weekend. Partha
