Hi, Is it possible to add a subtitle that appears directly below the main title? I tried the "sub" parameter, but it adds sub-title to the bottom of the plot.

Hi, Suppose I have created something like this in R: foo <- "myfoo" and I want to find out the number of character in foo (in other words, R should return 5 since "myfoo" has 5 charactors. How can I do it? I tried: length(foo) but it returned 1. Cheers, Kevin ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Ko-Kang Kevin Wang

Hi, I think I found the problem. It lies in my Fortran program. Is there a way, after a DO loop, to make sure it does NOT return anything?

Hi, Say I did something like: par(mfrow = c(1, 2)) plot(1:10) plot(1:10) and I'd like to have an overall title, i.e. a title that would appear, centered, on the top of both plots, rather than the top of the last plot. I tried: title("FOO", outer = T) but it doesn't appear right. Half of the FOO is outside the figure region and can't be seen... Is there another

Hi, Now suppose I have just one list called FOO, which has 25 objects, e.g.: [[1]] 1 2 3 4 5 [[2]] 6 7 8 9 10 . . . And I want to do something like: FRED <- data.frame(cbind(unlist(FOO[[1]]), unlist(FOO[[2]]), # ... for all 25 subsets )) Is it possible to do this, without doing unlist(FOO[[i]]) 25

Hi, I was trying to read in the following data set by using: gas <- read.table("gas.tab", header = T) when I got the error message: Error in "row.names<-.data.frame"(*tmp*, value = row.names) : duplicate row.names are not allowed Any help are appreciated. Thanks, Ko-Kang Wang

Hi, Does anyone know how to manually configure the number of digits printed out from xtable()? For example, I'm exporting a data frame through xtable() into a LaTeX table, I only have two columns in the data frame so by default I only get two decimal places. But I'd like at least 5 decimal places. I had a look at ?xtable() but can't seem to find an example. Cheers, Kevin

Hi, Is it possible to draw barplot with x-axis being shown? I looked up the help file and I couldn't seem to find it. For example, I tried to do x <- 1:9 p <- log10(1 + 1/x) barplot(p, xlab = "Digit d", ylab = "Probability", ylim = c(0, 0.35), axes = F, main = "Benford's Law Probability") axis(1, 1:9) axis(2, seq(0, 0.35, by = 0.05),

Hi, Say I want to do something like fitting 10 different sized trees with rpart() function. The only modification I need to do is to set 10 different cp's, which I have in a vector called foo. Can I do something like: for(i in 1:10) { rpart(y ~ ., cp = foo[i], data = mydata) } My problem is, I wish to save the 10 rpart objects into 10 different names, my.rpart1 ~ my.rpart10, for

Hi, Suppose I have a function: myfunc <- function(x, y) { ... } And within the function I want to print out the name of the x, y vectors. For example, if I do: > myfunc(foo, goo) [1] "foo" "goo" It shall return "foo", "goo" (with or without quotes is fine), where foo and goo are two vectors with numbers. I know this sounds strange, but I'd

R 1.6.0 has gone into final feature freeze as of today. As a new feature, we'll make interim beta versions available via ftp://cran.us.r-project.org/pub/R/src/base alias http://cran.us.r-project.org/src/base (filename R-1.6.0beta_*.tar.gz, where * is the creation date). If you want to help ensure that the final 1.6.0 works satisfactorily on *your* platform, it might be a good idea to

Hi, This is a very trivial question, and I do not know why I cannot remember the answer at all! How does one get the entire system information (which OS, R version....etc) using an R command?

Hi, Is it possible to create a ts() object, whose data is daily based BUT measured only on working days? In other words, suppose I have a data set with 255 observations, measured from 29 June 1959 to 30 June 1960. How would I create such a data? I tried something like: ts(c(...), start(1959, 180)) but I'm not sure what to use for frequency. In other words I don't know how to

I have used Splus 3.4 for UNIX and I have a C file that I compiled using "Splus COMPILE" and later called with dyn.load() and .C(). It works in Splus. I want to do the same thing in R, as in just use my .s and .c files and find the equivalent of "Splus COMPILE". I've ran into lots of problems trying to do this in Windows so far, so please help! My questions are: - Do

Hi, This is a simple question with if elseif....however I am having trouble constructing the solution for some reason. Suppose I have a data set with 3 variables, a, b and c say. Let's say c is the sum of a and b. So: a b c 1 2 3 2 3 5 3 4 7 . . . . . . . . . Suppose that I know there have been some data entry errors and I want to check if ALL values in c is

Hi, I was just trying out an example on Page 247 of the MASS (Modern Applied Statistics with S-plus) book and saw the function "negexp.ival". It says it is supplied in the MASS library, however when I load the library in R and typed: negexp.ival it says: Error: Object "negexp.ival" not found Does it mean it only appears in the MASS library for S-plus?

I am new to R. I am going to by one of the following book: 1. William N. Venables and Brian D. Ripley. Modern Applied Statistics with S-Plus. Third Edition. Springer, 1999. ISBN 0-387-98825-4. 2. The Fourth Edition of the book from point 1. 3. `S Programming' by W. N. Venables and B. D. Ripley Springer. ISBN 0-387-98966-8, 2000. I can only by one of the above books. Q1. I have found

Hi, In the order() help file, there is an example like: a <- c(4, 3, 2, NA, 1) b <- c(4, NA, 2, 7, 1) z <- cbind(a, b) (o <- order(a, b)); z[o, ] How can I do something like "order a in ascending order, b in descending order"? And say I have a third vector c, and I'd like to add this to the previous condition "a ascending, b descending, c

Hi, Suppose I have: 459 1789 23590 and I'd like to round them to: 400 1700 24000 On the other hand, say if I have: 232 1234 23120 that need to be rounded to: 300 1300 24000 I tried the round(), floor() or ceiling() and can't get what I want. Is there any tricks I can use to achieve this goal? Cheers, Kevin
