Hi! Given a vector (or a factor within a df),i.e. v1 <- c(1,1,1,2,3,4,1,10,3) and a dictionary cbind(c(1,2,3),c(1001,1002,1003)) is there a function (on the same line than recode() in car) to get v2 as c(1001,1001,1001,1002,1003,4,1001,10,1003) ? I'm using myself a function based on match() since long ago (I think that thanks to advice by Prof. B. Ripley), but would like to know if there

Hi! Is there any way of having a greyed ("ghosted") text (i.e, 2006) in the background of a plot? I'm making a dynamic plot and would like to show the year of each time step as a big greyed text in the background. (the idea comes from Hans Rosling video: http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=4237353244338529080&sourceid=searchfeed ) Thanks Agus -- Dr. Agustin Lobo Institut

Hi! Is it possible to set a file to which both commands and output would get automatically saved? I've tried with sink(), but only get the output. I mean something like a combined history and sink, as you get with File/Save to File.. in the windows GUI. Tis is done with diary filename in Matlab, and you can state diary on and diary off to control what is being saved to the file. Thanks Agus

Hi! Is not there an standard R function to retrieve the day of the year (since 1st Jan of the same year)? I know I can make my own using julian, but find it weird that having days(), months() etc doy() does not exist as an standard function. Also, is the following not a bit inconsistent? > a <- chron("20100506",format="ymd") > a [1] 100506 > years(a) [1] 2010

Thanks for your help on moving files from S+ to R and on attaching directories. If attaching directories is NOT possible in R, is there any other way to separate objects into different folders or something similar? For example, to keep user functions for multivariate analysis in a different "place" than user functions on time series, or to keep data objects of project_1 in a different

Hi there, Given 2 lists of integer vectors, i.e.: > lista1 $"1" [1] 1 34 5 $"2" [1] 2 1 $"3" [1] 3 10 15 > lista2 $"1" [1] 1 5 $"2" [1] 2 1 $"3" [1] 3 10 29 I want to obtain the union of both, defined as the union of the vectors, that is lista.union[[1]] <- union(lista1[[1]],lista2[[1]]): > lista.union

I've found that while cutree() and rect.hclust() make the same classes for a given height in the dendrogram, the actual labeling of the classes is different. For example, both produce the same 4 classes but class 1 according to cutree() is class 4 according to rect.hclust(). Would it be possible that future versions provide the same labeling? rect.hclust() is useful to display the classes

Which is the proper way to rename a factor? If I do: test$Parc[test$Parc=="Ol?rdola"]<-"Ol?rdola" R complains that Warning message: invalid factor level, NAs generated in: `[<-.factor`(`*tmp*`, test$Parc == "Ol?rdola", value = "Ol?rdola") Thanks Agus -- Dr. Agustin Lobo Institut de Ciencies de la Terra "Jaume Almera" (CSIC) LLuis Sole

I've set layout(matrix(c(1,3,2,4),ncol=2)) and par(mar=c(0, 4, 4, 0) + 0.0) and par(mar=c(0, 0, 4, 3) + 0.0) for the upper-left and upper-right plots, but still get an space between both plots, is there any way to completely eliminate that space?

Hi! I'm confused by this: > as.numeric(as.POSIXct(518400,origin="2001-01-01")) [1] 978822000 I guess the problem is that as.numeric() assumes a different origin, but cannot find any default origin. How can I get back the seconds from the POSIXct format? In other words, which the inverse function of as.POSIXct()? I've tried as.numeric and unclass() using a origin=

Agustin, posted on R-help. I think the problem is one of the debian/ubuntu package 'r-cran-robustbase' and its setup or (missing?) dependencies. I can confirm Agustin's problem, working on Ubuntu 8.04.2 (8.04 is a "LTS" = long time support version). apt-get install r-cran-robustbase works fine, but when trying to load the package, there's a DLL - dependency on

Hi! I'm trying to use readline() to ask for xlim() and ylim() values for a subsequent plot. I'm doing: lim <- readline("Enter xlim and ylim values: ") then would like to use the values in lim for a plot: plot(etc, xlim=lim[1:2],ylim=lim[3:4]) The problem is that lim is a character,i.e., "10,20,-10,50" or "c(10,20,-10,50)" depending on the input to

As far as I can see by searching the archieves, R could not take advantage of two processors in the same machine but there were plans for implementing multithreading in R. Is this work going on? On the other hand, if two processors are present in the same linux machine is it possible to focus one processor on tasks of the operative system and the other on R and/or other real computing? Could

I know I've seen the answer to this question but could not find it now: What's the appropriate(s) general reference(s) for the "R language and environment for statistical computing and graphics" that should be included in a scientific article?
