I'm doing a study where people place a deck of cards in a certain order. It's sufficient to assume that their colors & each has a number (it's actually about attributes of hobbies). I'd like to look for patterns in how they've arranged the deck. For each subject I have a list like 3,5,2,4,1, indicating that (s)he chose 3 first, then 5, then 2. . . . I think what I first

I've got a background in computer science & have been using Linux for nearly a decade. I'm working on a Ph.D. in education and technology and I essentially live in emacs and do all of my writing in LaTeX. To me R seems like the perfect stats package. Unfortunately, the learning curve is killing me. I feel like that if I'd waded through pulling down menus in SPSS or SAS I could

It appears that fetch() gets only the first 500 rows by default. I don't see this in the documentation, but timeinfo <- fetch(rs) gets only 500 rows where timeinfo <- fetch(rs,n=-1) gets (correctly) 736 for the same query. Is this an undocumented feature? I played with this data for an alarming amount of time before I realized that I was missing a third of the data. I

I've got a data set with integer codes from 0--3. I'd like a histogram with a single bar for 0, 1, 2 and 3. I'd like each of the 4 bars centered over a label. hist(mydata, breaks=4, main="Simulation") gives me three bars. The best I've been able to do is do something like print(hist((wexp), breaks=25, main="Simulation")) This gives me something

Another naive stats question. I'm trying to better understand what boxplots are telling me. I think what I see is the median and the boundaries of the 1st and 3rd quartiles. The whiskers represent the range of the data unless there are points which are outside "range" (default: 1.5) times the distance from the median to that quartile. Is that right? I've read the

I'm an R novice and my colleagues are about to convince me to get my data into SPSS, which will presumably be easier for someone who doesn't live in R to point and click his way into some kind of analysis that might be meaningful. I've got two groups of subjects (classkey in the table below). They've each received several different treatments. One measure is a 1-7 rating taken

I'm running R (latest) on linux, using gnome. I was wondering how export the plots to an image file of sort sort. I can't find anything obvious in the documentation. Thanks in advace.

I've got a table of 1 row per observation. 16 questions * n subjects * 4 classrooms (2 teachers * 2 conditions) I'd like to run some simple regressions that look something like this: lm(length ~ elapsed) I'd like to do the regressions several times, split out by questionkey, student, class. What I've been doing is using a series of which's to create new data sets (e.g.

Thanks for all the help on my previous histogram problem. I intend to summarize the solutions back to the list Real Soon Now, but first, I've got another problem. I've made a bar chart that reports means. I'd like to put the number of observations on top of each bar. Here's what I've got: barplot((subset$x), col=grey(.5), ylab="Mean Engagement

Full_Name: Cornell Gonschior Version: 2.10.0 OS: Linux Submission from: (NULL) (212.201.28.40) Hi, in the introduction to R, you can find the following sentence in the par() chapter: "Use tck=0.01 and mgp=c(1,-1.5,0) for internal tick marks." I thought that's nice, because I wanted to have tick marks and tick labels inside and the axis title outside. But: > plot(z, las=1,

Hi, I'am trying to make a multiple bar plot over a map and I'm having difficulties with the distance between axes labels and the axis. Trying to control this with mgp does not help because it controls both axes simultaneously. For example, with default values (mgp = c(3, 1, 0)) y-axis labels are ok, but x-axis labels are not. Setting mgp = c(3, 0, 0) gives good x-axis labels but the

It seems that when an argument 'mgp' is supplied to axis(), the mgp[2] value (position of tick mark labels) is honoured but the mgp[3] value (position of axis line) is ignored. Example: plot(1:5, xaxt='n', ann=FALSE) par(mgp=c(0,2,1)) axis(1, at=2:4, mgp=c(0,-2,-3)) Axis line is plotted at margin line 1, tick mark labels at line -3. Is this a bug? J. R. M. Hosking

Hi, I have created a plot using filled.contour() and have the problem that one of the axis titles and an axis label are overlapping. I have tried changing par()$mgp (with, e.g. par(mgp=c(4,1,0)) ), but this just makes the title go off the screen. I can't work out how to make the plot take up less space in the window, so I can hopefully change mgp and sort the problem. Is changing mgp the only

I have long axis labels (8units) on the x axis and 2 unit number labels on the y axis. I need to move the x axis title without moving the y axis title. I have used mgp=c(title, label and line), but mgp moves both the x and y titles. The following puts the y axis title way way out to the left. Anyone know how to move just the x axis.

Apologies for the previous mail (I sent it off too early by mistake). This is the correct example: rm(list=ls()) D_mean<-seq(-5,5,length=100) y<-exp(-D_mean^2/5) pdf("my.pdf") plot(D_mean,y,type="l",yaxt="n",lty=2,lwd=2,col="black", ylab = list(expression(paste(dN/dlogD[agg]," ["*cm^-3*"]"))), xlab = expression(paste(D[agg],"

Hello, I am trying to port one of my plotting S+ functions to R and I am having difficulties!!! I am including here only the troublesome code! I first produce a barplot, saving the positions of the bar's centers. par(mar = c(6.1, 5.1, 4.1, 4.1), mgp = c(3, 3.0, 0)) ticks.loc <- barplot(sum.of.weights, col = 5, xlab = "", ylab = "", axes =

Hi all, What is the right portable way to save graphics in batch mode? Remarks: 1. Problem is STFWed and RTFMed. In particular a short note about png() is found in R-FAQ. In fact, there were stated that png() is not reliable under Linux in batch mode. 2. savePlot under windows is quite convenient, but not supplied under Linux. 3. pdf() + postscript() < savePlot()

I'd like to make a plot with the axes drawn at the values of xlim and ylim. The default plot draws the axes slightly outside these values. I have been experimenting with the par(mgp) setting, but specifying par(mgp=c(2,0,-1)) gives me "invalid value specified for graphics parameter "mgp".". A more complicated mathod that almost seems to work is doing the plot with
