Dear list I have a vector of values that allegedly have a chi-squared distribution. I want to create a plot that shows the values I have obtained, and the chi-squared distribution curve for the specified number of degrees of freedom to show what should have been obtained. At the moment I am plotting the values I have obtained as a histogram and somehow want to put on to this plot the

I have a quick question which is very simple but I seem to have a mental block! I'm using the pchisq function to specify a Chi Squared distribution with 9 df which I'm then going to use in the Kolmogorov-Smirnov Test to test some simulated values. so simply: pchisq(q, df=9) I know that q is the vector of quantiles but could anybody tell me what exactly this vector needs to contain?

Dear list I am running a data simulation, which is needed to simulate up to a million pieces of data. I am getting the following memory error : Error: cannot allocate vector of size 11 Kb In addition: Warning message: Reached total allocation of 255Mb: see help(memory.size) I am running a PC with 256Mb RAM and R seems to be taking up the entire allocation and is still not able to do the

Dear list I am using the qq.plot command to create quantile-quantile plots. The plot should display a 45 degree reference line upon which the points of the graph should fall if the two distributions being examined are roughly equal. If I try: x<-rchisq(100, df=6) qq.plot(x, dist="chisq", df=6) Then I get a quantile plot which has an intercept of roughly 1 when the line should be

Dear list I have a simple question that I have a mental block on: Having used a loop (from i = 1 to n) to assign some numerical values to row.list[[i]] e.g. row.list[[3]]= 0 1 I am wanting to combine the output into a simple matrix. for example, if I combine the output from persons 1 to 3 into a matrix, I thought I could do : h<-rbind(row.list[[1]]:row.list[[3]]) However, I get the

Dear list I am having a couple of problems with the package 'bindata'. Having installed it using install.packages("bindata"), I am finding that when I load it up as a library I get the following errors: > library(bindata) Loading required package: e1071 Loading required package: mvtnorm Warning messages: 1: There is no package called `e1071' in: library(package, char

Dear list I have a very simple question which is causing me problems! I have a matrix A and simply want to rbind this matrix together n times (n is a large number) How can I write this in R? I know I could do new<-rbind(z,z,z,...z) with z written n times but this will take forever as n is so large. Is there a simple way to write this? Cheers Mick

Undoubtedly a simple question: I've looked at order() and sort() in the help pages for R1.7.1. It doesn't appear that these functions are immediately suited to doing the same thing as PROC SORT DATA = BLAH; BY X Y Z; RUN; in SAS. I have also checked Frank Harrell's Hmisc library. Could someone point me in the right direction so I can sort by the levels of Z within the levels of

how can i sort a matrix by sorting the first colloum in ascending order and have the values of the other colloums in the relative position to the sorted values. thanks for help -.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.- r-help mailing list -- Read http://www.ci.tuwien.ac.at/~hornik/R/R-FAQ.html Send "info", "help", or

Hello, If a matrix with 5 columns has been defined and the first two columns need to be sorted in ascending order, how can this be achieved whilst ensuring the other 3 columns data are in relative position to the sorted columns? Glen Jones [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Dear there, I am trying to do the following stuff. Could you let me know how to do it efficiently? > aaa [,1] [,2] [1,] 1 -0.2 [2,] 3 0.8 [3,] 4 0.3 [4,] 5 0.2 [5,] 7 0.9 And I would like to sort the matrix by column 2 (and accordingly column 1 sorted as well). The desired matrix will be 1 -0.2 5 0.2 4 0.3 3 0.8 7 0.9 If using Excel or SAS, I can

Dear List I am having a bit of a problem getting a program to work. For each of i=1 to n persons I have a matrix (different for each person) with m rows. What I want to do, is create m new data sets such that the first is made up of the first row for each person from the original matrices, the second contains the second row for each person from the original matrices etc etc up to the mth

Apologies for the mass mailing today! I am attempting to produce a contour plot for phsical data on a map matrix. I have a small number of data points which each has an (x,y) co-ordinate together with a corresponding value which I would like to cvreate a contour plot for. I have tried the following code: contour(data$x,data$y,data$value) but am told: Error in contour.default(data$x, data$y,

Hi all, I am attempting to run a script in which I permute my data and run a Wilcoxon rank sum test on the data 1000 times and compare my original test statistic to the permuted test statistics to more accurately estimate a significance level for the trends I am observing. In the process of doing this, I need to sort a data frame that measures 3 x 1001 based on the value of the test statistic

I am a novice user of R and am stumbling on how to order a dataset produced during my session. I have a 1863 row X 14 column dataset that I want to put out to a file. I want the output sorted by the first column and then by the second column both in ascending order. The first column is character and the second is numeric (I hope). I used an "as.numeric" function to assign that

What is the best way to sort a dataframe? For example, how would I go about sorting a dataframe (with variables V1-V5) by ascending V1, V2 and descending V3 while retaining V4 and V5. Also, is there a relatively easy way by which to re-order my columns? Thank you for your time. Marc Marc Zodet [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Hi all, I wonder if there's any way to reshuffle the text collection by the document meta values. For instance, if I have 5 documents that correspond to the following meta data: MetaID Sex Age 0 M 38 0 M 46 0 F 24 0 F 49 0 F 33 Can I reorder the text documents based on the ascending order of age? Thank you very much!! -- View

R-gurus... I've got a 5 column dataframe where I'd like to plot each ID's "b" against "c" with "b" in ascending order (within the same ID). How do I sort "b" so that the other variables are altered equally? ID a b c d 101 1 240 26.7 21.85 101 2 335 21.8 21.85 101 3 1387 26.6 21.85 101 4 877 24.1 21.85

Hi, I have a data frame with variables a, b, c (character vars) and t (time var, could be represented as POSIXct or character, depending on which is most useful. The format is "yyyy-mm-dd hh:mm:ss CET"). Now, I want to sort the data frame in ascending order by a, b, c and then in descending order by t. Here's what I've got, but I'm not sure how to put the
