Dear all, do you know if it's available and where the "FBI Homicide" dataset? It has at least the following columns: "victim age", "homicide age". A scatterplot of this data is visible here: http://www.uml.edu/gallery/main.php?g2_itemId=6016 Thanks for your help! mario -- Ing. Mario Valle Data Analysis and Visualization Group |

Dear R-listers, what is the best way to draw an XY scatterplot with symbol size proportional to the value taken on by a third variable? Thank you very much for any help, Maurizio Pisati

I am hoping for some advice regarding limiting decimal points to 3. 'Round' produces the desired results except for the 97.5% confidence interval. Any advice as to how I modify the code to obtain output to 3 decimal points for all ouput is appreciated, regards Bob Green mod.multgran <-multinom(offence ~ grandiose * violent.convictions, data = kc, na.action = na.omit)

Dear R-Listers, I'm a new R user and I've got some problems with copying/saving graphs in Windows Metafile Format. If I copy a graph from the R window (in Enhanced Metafile Format) and then paste it in WinWord 95, then everything is fine, apart from the fact that a) lines become a little bit thicker when the graph is printed; and b) dotted lines loose a little bit of resolution. However,

Hi, I would love to make multiple histograms transposed one on another in order to show relation between the sets. I tried to write a function like this, but R tells me, that I cannot use add=FALSE in high-level commands. That's nice but I am supposed to do? rm(list=ls()) # what's wrong with underscore? #getwd("/home/matej/docs/skola/stat\_anal-cj3534/assign01/")

Dear All, I have a collections of spatial data. I have to analyze pairs of these point patterns to test their spatial interaction. I was moving towards the cross K Ripley's function. The problem, however, are the following: 1) What is the best way to get a single real value that represents the interaction "power"? 2) How to obtain a value that even allows me to rank the pairwise

I have a dataset like this: sites years Var1 Var2 1 1960 505 3.013833 1 1961 533 4.118784 1 1962 609 14.96386 1 1963 465 -3.74409 1 1964 837 41.70164 1 1965 727 29.53478 2 1960 493 3.269235 2 1961 535 5.386015 2 1962 608 16.26244 2 1963 469 -2.09736 2 1964 830 42.01942 2 1965 715 29.92867 3 1960 489

I have a dataframe concerning manner of death from death certificates, from 2005 to 2009 inclusive, with the following structure: > str(MannerYoung.plot.data) 'data.frame': 245 obs. of 4 variables: $ year : Factor w/ 5 levels "2005","2006",..: 1 2 3 4 5 1 2 3 4 5 ... $ manner : Factor w/ 7 levels "Accident","Homicide",..: 1 1 1

I was hoping for some advice regarding possible explanations for the fitted probability values I obtained for a multinomial logistic regression. The analysis aims to predict whether Capgras delusions (present/absent) are associated with group (ABH, SV, homicide; values = 1,2,3,), controlling for previous violence. What has me puzzled is that for each combination the fitted probabilities are

I am hoping for some assistance with formatting a large text file which consists of a series of individual records. Each record includes specific labels/field names (a sample of 1 record (one of the longest ones) is below - at end of post. What I want to do is reformat the data, so that each individual record becomes a row (some cells will have a lot of text). For example, the column

Unfortunately, due to the limited number of spots available, we were unable to fund many first rate

Folks, I have installed puppet my network and it works great .. I have configured it such a way that when I make changes in the server source fiels..it gets updated in teh puppet clients. As the document reads the puppet clients checks for any changes from the server every 30 mins. But is there is any opiton of changing this value to lesser time .. say 15 mins .. or is there opiton for the

Dear All, I'am looking for examples showing that correlation does not imply causality, the targeted audience consists of undergraduate students (their first year at the university but in the BioMathStat track). All practicals are under R. I was able to extract this from R datasets: ### begin data(sunspots) data(lynx) spots <- window(sunspots, freq = 1, start = 1880, end = 1900) lnx <-

Hi, this is my first attempt to use Wine, so please bear with me if i made any mistakes... :P So far i installed Wine on a FreeBSD-5-STABLE (OSVERSION > 5.4), and the port installation was smooth. Then i downloaded SetupCloneCD5261.exe, run 'wine SetupCloneCD5261.exe', and installed it in my homedir. But whenever i try to launch clonecd i get this error: [flag@longino ~]$ wine

Peter & Michael, I just came across the following on another mailing list and realized that my use (and the authors of the article use of the term 'odds ratio' ) is probably incorrect. I believe my interest is in the 'odds' of schizophrenia among the population of homicide, rather than a comparison of odds . "Yours seems a good idea, Kevin, if you are only interested

Happy New Year, R users! I write about R every weekday at the Revolutions blog: http://blog.revolutionanalytics.com and every month I post a summary of articles from the previous month of particular interest to readers of r-help. In case you missed them, here are some articles related to R from the month of December: A Facebook employee created a beautiful visualization of social connections

hello R-world, according to the strucchange package .pdf, "all procedures in this package are concerned with testing or assessing deviations from stability in the classical linear regression model." i'd like to test/assess deviations from stability in the Poisson model. is there a way to modify the strucchange package to suit my purposes, or should i use be using another

Dear list: I am attempting to use what I thought would be a pretty straightforward practical application of Cox regression. I figure users of the survival package must have come across this problem before, so I would like to ask you how you dealt with it. I have set up an illustrative example and included it at the end of this post. I took a sample of 100 data points from each of two populations

Dear R-helpers, I have 4-dimensional atmospheric data (x,y,z,t), which I want to analyse on spatio-temporal diversities. As far as I understand there only exists the possibility to construct time series as two-dimensional matrices (mts). For the moment, I hold it in different objects: 1. a four-dimensional array for the spatial related analyses 2. a two-dimensional mts timeserie, which was
