(Many thanks to David Barron & Jonathan Baron for pointing me to 'recode' in the 'car' package). I think I've been told this before, but how do I search for a function/keyword in libraries I don't yet have installed? (ie. on the CRAN site I tried the search engines with "recode" etc., but didn't pick up the car package this way) Stuart Dr Stuart Leask

Dear list, sorry to waste your time. I downloaded R and I like it very much. However, my main interest is in plotting 3D graphics form imported data (points and lines in a 3d space). I imported data in a very elegant way but I wasn't able to find in R something similar to the simple "splot" function of WGNUplot (I don't need persp, image, contour: my values are not

Hi, I am still new to R and have a programming question. I have created a small function which takes a parameter. In the function I want to be able to refer to the names of the variables sent to the function (specifically I want to be able to use the name of the variable given to the function in an output table). For example, in the following (fictional) function I want some way of printing

Hi, I need to plot the beta as the symbol, followed by the index 3 as the title of a graph. This code works> main= bquote(paste("Results for ", beta ==.(b1)) but I also need the index 3. I tried (simplified): >plot(x,y, main= bquote(paste("Results for ", beta, "3", ==.(b1)))) and a few other versions, but I can not get it to run properly. Any help would

Hi there. R v1.3.0, Slackware linux 7.1 or Windows 98SE, PII 266, 64Mb RAM. I notice that under windows, R puts help info (ie. the response to '?<function>') into a new window, whereas under linux, it puts it into the main console window. I find the former much more helpful when checking a function's syntax. Is there a simple way of configuring R under linux to put its help

Hi, I have a simple question. I have a variable with 3 levels. Variable A A A A A A B B B B B B C C C C C C I need to make a new vector renaming de levels B and C for D.

Thanks. I was "believing" an Excel import of the file - as you say, a re-import into R still has 333 columns. I shall look elsewhere for the cause of the mysterious truncation.

I also agree with Philippe Grosjean that there is a need to investigate the effects of different types of GUIs on software "usability". To do that, however, there is a need to develop a set of appropriate metrics, and to understand that the appropriateness of a given metric (and ultimately a given type of GUI) is likely to be conditional on the type of user. My sense is that the

I have a large dataset (~1 million rows) of three variables: ID (patient's name), DATE (of appointment) and DIAGNOSIS (given on that date). Patients may have been assigned more than one diagnosis at any one appointment - leading to two rows, same ID and DATE but different DIAGNOSIS. The diagnoses may change between appointments. I want to subset the data in two ways: - define groups

Hi, Have you seen the tcltk package? I believe it is a better option than the one you outline in your message. Why develop a Windows-only GUI? Maybe in a few years your teaching department will give up Windows for Linux (for the reasons you wrote about R: it is free, advanced, and adaptable). There is an article in R News (vol.1, n?3) by Peter Dalgaard on the tcltk package, and the latter

Hi there. I have been plotting some circles using 'symbols', with radii representing my data, but the radii looked incorrect. It seems to happen with a single circle too: Symbols ( 0, 0, circles = 40, xlim = c(-40, 40), ylim= c(-40, 40)) If I put a ruler up to my monitor (technology!) to compare the radius with the axes, the circle isn't radius 40; it is closer to 15... I

Hi the list. I do not understand the philosophy behind numeric and integer. - 1 is numeric (which I find surprising) - 2 is numeric. - 1:2 is integer. Why is that ? Christophe
