Hi people, I have made some progress trying to work out how to solve this problem but I have got a bit stuck - sorry if this turns out to be a simple exercise . .

Hi all, I have just got going with R and think it is really nice however, as far as I can see, it can't do what I got it for: I have some output from a computer simulation of mutating genes represented by a biological statistic - so the graph looks roughly like the top of: x = y^2 - with oscillations around the general curve. If I use scatter.smooth() I get a nice curve representing

People, I have an insurance company client and for the last eleven years I have wanted to completely redevelop their system from scratch. However, the boss has never been interested in hiring a team to develop the new system (partly because of the cost and partly because of some famous and expensive development failures in the industry) and has always insisted on incremental development of the

People, I want to create seven plots on the one graph - each with it's own Y axis and scale - I want the plots overlaid because it is the shape of the graphs that I want to compare, not so much the values. I have found examples where people show how to put two Y axes on the left of the plot but I couldn't find examples of any more than that - is it possible? Thanks, Phil. --

People, I want to design a historical sports db for my old school. I think at the moment it should be like: A year has many teams A team has many students A student has one lastname, firstname and middlename but a student can also have many teams (eg summer/winter abd over a number of years) . . Is there a problem with this? Doesn''t it just mean that there will be a student table

People, On my home computer with a real plot I get what I expect - open circles as the plot character - on my work computer I get "q"s ! So I tried a trivial test plot on the work computer ie: a <- c(1,2,3,4,5) b <- c(1,2,3,4,5) plot(a,b) and that also gives me open circles as it should! - the plot line in my real script is: plot( means5[ ,4 ], means6[ ,4 ],
