Happy New Year, r-helpers! I am using lowess to smooth a scatter plot, xx<-lowess(xinput,f=.04) #defaults for other args followed by turnpoints(xx$y) #defaults for other args I plot the smoothed result as well as turnpoints (using yy$tppos) on top of raw data plot. Result is exactly as expected, graphically. For another purpose, I calcuate the difference between turnpoints (representing

For some mysterious reason I do not believe this was delivered to the list.

Has anyone encountered a situation where packets dropped by the newnotsyn chain can result in sporadic browsing problems, slowness, and even timeouts? I noticed that of the 3300 hits for newnotsyn in our current log (6 hours worth), over 2700 of them were to/from our proxy servers. And browsing through them, most *appear* to be otherwise valid packets from remote web servers that would have

Gang, I recall several months ago that there was a company that was giving away a free 1-port T1 card, with some specific conditions. Do any of you recall who that was? My Google searches are coming up empty and now I'm wondering if I was hallucinating... Thanks, MC -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL:

Someone on stackoverflow.com was wondering how to display the current time in the R prompt. I could have swore there was a mechanism for hooking a function into R such that it is was called before the ">" prompt was given, but no amount of searching in R's docs, R's source, or RSiteSearch can find it. I've searched for 'hook', 'event', 'signal',

ListeRs, Within the last two months, I thought I saw mention of an R function that would create a new data frame composed of duplicates or multiple copies of rows of an input data frame given one or several columns of values indicating how many times each row should be copied. As a simple example, given a dataframe: > in.df x y 1 A 1 2 B 2 3 C 3 "func.name (in.df, in.df$y)"

I frequently use Makefiles to manage routine data manipulations and repeated analyses where the "raw" data tend to change with time. With S/Splus, this has worked quite naturally, as long as I'm careful to use S object names that map directly to Unix/Linux filenames. For example, say I'm building a particular graphic (chart.ps) from a data.frame in S (mydata) that comes from an

If I knew this, I have forgotten it: Is there a way to force R to forgo use of scientific notation, e.g. to use .000029 instead of 2.9e-05? (Aside from using formatC for example) I run across this every now and then and work around it (multiple values by 100, for example) but cannot find any way to deal with it otherwise. A particularly problematic place it pops up is in axis tick labels.

The Chisquare test is based upon a normal approx of the (essentially) binomial distribution for the data in question. Small EXPECTED (not observed) values (<5) suggest a asymetric distribution and potential errors in inferential conclusions. The alternative is the exact test, which calculates the exact probabilities of the observed distribution, or a more extreme one, given the constraining

Hi, I've looked through the archives and seen several posts discussing technical differences between R and S(plus). It appears to me that R can likely functionally replace Splus for my situation, but I'm more interested in looking at the risks and benefits of moving from Splus to R from a (project) management point of view. Background (a bit wordy, I'm afraid): -

We've been working on making it easier to write packages that work in both R and Splus. One issue is that R and Splus use different internal representations of integers and this makes a difference on their 64-bit versions: R uses ints (32 bits on 32-bit and 64-bit versions of R) and Splus uses longs (32 bits on 32-bit Splus and 64 bits on 64-bit Splus). The obvious ways to deal with the

Hi all, I've got a project where I have to calculate weight-for-age Z-scores, preferably using the WHO standards. WHO have been very nice to publish macros for doing this in both STATA,SPSS, SAS and Splus formats (see http://www.who.int/childgrowth/software/en/), but for some reason have chosen not to use the free R alternative to Splus. In the Splus zipfile there are nine datafiles with a

Hi all Apologies for any cross posting. I have encountered a rather bizarre "problem" in Splus and R. I am using Age-Period-Cohort models to model cervical cancer and have run the same data on both R (v.1.4.1 & v1.6.2) and Splus (version 6.0). I used the same command line in both Splus and R: glm(cases~-1+as.factor(age)

Hello, I am looking for an explanation and/or fix for a discrepancy in the behaviour of the R lm.influence() function [ version R 1.5.0 (2002-04-29) ] and the same function in Splus [ Splus version 5.1 release 1, running on SGI IRIX 6.2]. The discrepancy is of concern because I am migrating some Splus scripts to R and need to ensure consistency of results. Specifically, when I fit a glm()

Hello there, I spent all day yesterday trying to get a small data set from Splus into R, no luck! Both, Splus and R, are run on a 64-bit RedHat Linux machine, the versions of the softwares are 64-bit and are as what follows: Splus: TIBCO Software Inc. Confidential Information Copyright (c) 1988-2008 TIBCO Software Inc. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED. TIBCO Spotfire S+ Version 8.1.1 for Linux 2.6.9-34.EL,

Hi : I have old Splus code that I am trying to turn into R ( I am using windows Xp and R 2.20 ) and I am getting a warning from one of my statements because the behavior of R is different from Splus. below, tempdata is a matrix of numbers and I have the following command which basically runs through the columns and returns the minimum index of the column where an NA occurs.

When I call C function from Splus, I often meet this problem: "Problem: Couldn't find a function definition for "Stest" " My c function is saved as 'test.c' (the function is also named as 'test' My splus function is saved as 'Stest', such as Stest <- function(d,f) { .C("test", as.integer(d), as.single(f)) } Assume my files (test.c

I don't want to bother anyone with specific questions because I am a R newbie and I see that there is TON ( emphasis on Ton ) of documentation out there but could someone just tell me the best placed to look/read for learning about ( for R-2-2.1 in Windows ) .Rprofile .REnviron. .Rdata .First function ( analogous to the one in Splus ). Analog of Splus Chapter Basically, I want to

I have help files in several formats. Up until now I have converted nroff files to S-Plus 6 sgml and html files using Splus doc_to_S ... (creates .sgml file) Splus HINSTALL ... (creates .sgm and .html files) I maintain master help files in R .Rd files, and for some of my functions converting from .Rd to .sgm using R CMD Rdconv --type=Ssgm ... produces better .sgm files than beginning with
