(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

Hello developers and users: My system fails (the computer freezes) when I use the ncp parameter, with the lower.tail=FALSE option in the qchisq function. qchisq(0.025,31,ncp=1,lower.tail=FALSE) Thank you very much for your help.

Hi Stuart, I often use this small function standardize <- function(x) ( x - mean(x, na.rm=T) ) / sqrt(var(x, na.rm=T)) to standardize variables. You should be able to use this to do what you want by splitting the data frame into sections based on the factor level, using standardize() to create a new variable in each section, then paste the data frame back together. Something like: #

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

I have drawed a picture with persp, it's 3d map with different color, indicate different altitude. In gnuplot, the corresponding command 'splot' will generate a picture beside to indicate the relationship between color and altitude. But in R, how to draw it? I have read the manual of legend, but they are all about how to draw a legend with colored text, not a continuous varing color

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

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

The only references to this I can find searching the archives are to a student who asked in relation to his course work on a stats course. Promise I'm not doing that!

I'd like to do some post hoc power tests (the x and n were beyond our control in the survey as all we could set

Dear list, I was wondering if there is a function to plot league tables, sometimes also known as "caterpillar plots"? A league table is conceptually very similar to a box plot. One difference is that the inter-quartile ranges are not shown. If there isn't such a function a first attempt for a "selfmade" plot would be to tell boxplot not to plot boxes (sounds silly

I'm working on Windoze XP and have for some time installed R in D:\R and upgraded my packages after installing the new version of R with a bit of code I think I got from the list: ip <- installed.packages(lib.loc = "d:\\R\\R-2.4.1\\library") ip <- ip[ip[,1]!="base" ,1] install.packages(ip) This time around that's produced some warning grumbles: Warning messages:

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
