R 1.5.1 is due to come out ... and I've just noticed that the R help.start page search applet doesn't work on my Mandrake 8.2 system even though I've upgraded mozilla to version 1.0 and I have a perfectly working java (all right, I'm using 1.4.0 now, but with mozilla 0.98 and java 1.3.1 it still didn't work). I had thought the problem due to a too-old mozilla version, but it

Full_Name: St?phane Gourichon Version: R 1.7.1 (2003-06-16). OS: GNU/Linux Submission from: (NULL) (132.227.205.226) The HTML help is great. But the search engine is broken. It used to work in Galeon 1.x, not Konqueror 3.0 . Now it doesn't work, neither on Mozilla 1.6 / Firebird 0.6 / Firefox 0.8 nor Konqueror 3.2 which are IMHO the latest versions of those advanced, standard-compliant

Hi R experts, I am looking for a simple error handling approach, whereby I could stop function execution with a customized error message. For example: for (i in 1:10) { if (i == 5) # I'd like to be able to stop right here with an error message I have complete control over } The problem with stop() is that I cannot control completely what gets printed to the terminal, even with

Dear R users, I wonder if there is a simple way to select a random and non-overlapping subset of a vector? Say, I need to randomly select 10 out of 100 numbers in a vector V. By "non-overlapping" I mean that a number in any position in V (V[1]...V[100]) should be selected at most once (i.e. selection without recycling). I could simplu use a uniform distribution to generate selection

Dear R users, I have a question on using weighted.mean() while aggregating a data frame. I have a data frame with columns Sub, Length and Slope: > x[1:5,] Sub Length Slope 1 2 351.547 0.0025284969 2 2 343.738 0.0025859390 3 1 696.659 0.0015948968 4 2 5442.338 0.0026132544 5 1 209.483 0.0005304225 and I would like to calculate the weighted.mean of Slope, using Length

Dear R experts, I am writing a multi-page PDF file and would like to put a header on each page. Is there a way to test a graphic device to see if a new page is started (so that I know when to write the header)? I could simply count the plots made (each page has the same number of plots), but wanted to see if a more general solution is available. Thank you, Aleksey -- Aleksey Naumov GIS

Dear R users, I am just starting with R (v. 1.0.0) and I use Vehables & Ripley's MASS book for examples. In the intro session, there is an example of a 2D histogram on an 8x8 grid: x <- rnorm(1000) y <- rnorm(1000) contour(hist2d(x,y,,,8,8)) R complains: Error in contour(hist2d(x, y, , , 8, 8)) : couldn't find function "hist2d" I looked for hist2d() in the

Dear R and Sweave users, Is there a way to have optional sections in a Sweave-generated report document, complete with section header(s), text and code chunks? In other words, I'd like for my report to include or omit certain sections based on the data itself. For example, If I examine the input dataset early on in the report and set a variable has_daily_data = TRUE, then I'd like to

Dear List, I would like to plot a simple legend with two math expressions, e.g. plot(0) legend(1, 0.5, expression(sigma[i], sigma[j])) The difficulty is that i and j should be variables rather than strings "i" and "j". In other words I'd like to do something like: i = "A" j = "B" legend(1, 0.5, expression(sigma[i], sigma[j])) and have "A"

Full_Name: Sergei Zuyev Version: Version 1.8.0 OS: Mandrake Linux 9.1 Submission from: (NULL) (195.137.88.252) When mozilla or konqueror are used as help browser, the Search Engine page links nor the search do not work. Mozilla quietly ignores any click, while konqueror gives the following information: > options(browser="/usr/bin/konqueror") > help.start() Making links in

I installed the new rpm from CRAN for R 1.4 for Mandrake Linux 8.1, after getting blas and libgcc from rpmfind.net. When I do update.packages() the system goes to update grid, lattice, and mgcv. I get compile errors for two of them. Apparently R is looking for gcc 3.0.1 or later but 8.1 uses 2.9x which is required for other Mandrake applications (i.e., I get a dependency error when trying to

Dear R users, I have a very simple question. What is the easiest way to recode data in one of the columns of a data frame and put it into a new column? For example, here is a simple data frame: var1 1 1 2 2 3 3 How do I add a new column to data - 'var2' in which I group values in 'var1', for example: var1 var2 1 1 4 2 2 4 3 3 5 It's got to

Dear R users, I have two related questions about scoping and data encapsulation. One is fairly specific - I am looking at "scoping.R" which is used in demo(scoping) - it's an example of lexical scoping and encapsulation. Where is the 'total' stored? It is not an attribute in 'ross' or 'robert' however, functions like balance() have access to it. Is it more

I'm looking for a plugin for Kate (or any other good text editor for linux) (KDE 3.x) which will highlight the R syntax. The link on www.r-project.org is dead! Any ideas?? Thanks Lars

Dear R users, I have to catch a nasty bug and would appreciate any advice or help! I get a segfault (core dumped) that happens in one of my own functions. The problem is, it does not happen most of the time, only sometimes, so it's very hard to reproduce. Or it may run ok in interactive mode, but bug out in batch mode. Also, it tends to happen more on the slower of my 2 machines (PII 266),

I've installed Netscape 6.2.2 on Mdk82, but have not had much luck with help.start() (R-1.5.0 compiled from source). When I do help.start(), it just starts up netscape with the default home page, rather than the R help page. Doing ?<anything> at the R prompt starts up yet another netscape instance, but still no R help. Anyone knows why, or even better, how to solve this? Regards,

Dear R and odfWeave users, I am looking for a way to automate generation of many reports using odfWeave. All reports would use the same input ODT file, the only difference would be in the name of the dataset which will be analyzed in any particular report. Right now, the name of the dataset is hardcoded in the first code chuck in the input file: <<01 get data, echo=TRUE>> station =

Hello All: The recent R-1.2.1 was made available as an RPM for Linux Mandrake 7.2. Would it be possible for those who created this RPM also create an RPM for the earlier Mandrake 7.1? It would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, ANDREW Andrew Criswell Professor of Finance Graduate School, Bangkok University -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
