similar to: RArcInfo 0.4-2 and draft tutorial out

Hi, A new release of RArcInfo is avaialable from CRAN and http://matheron.uv.es/~virgil/Rpackages/RArcInfo/ The changes made are: *V 0.4-2 - 'index' argument added to plotarc to select the arcs to plot. - 'index' argument added to plotpal to select the polygons to plot. - New function 'get.nb', which, given a set of polygons, returns the neighbouring polygons of

Dear Steve, I'll post your question also to the R-help mailing list since I think this can help to other RArcInfo users. As I mentioned in the last release of the package, I have a tutorial nearly finished. I hope to release it in the next days. > I have downloaded an .e00 file of 2000 Census Tracts for the southern US > State of Georgia, and I'm wondering which steps I need to go

Hello, I am using RArcInfo to create some maps but, once I have plotted the map (using plotarc), I try to add new lines, but the fact is that they are not plotted. I have reviewing the code, and if I remove a line, everything works fine, but I am not sure whether I should do that, because that line restores the previous 'par' profile. Here is a portion of the code (from plotarc.R):

Hi, I have just put the source code (and a zip file for Window$ users) of package DCluster in my website: http://matheron.estadi.uv.es/~virgil/Rpackages/DCluster/ DCluster is a package that contains routines for the detection of spatial clusters of diseases (Openshaw's GAM, Besag and Newell, Kulldorff and Nagarwalla, Stone's Test and others). A full description can be found here:

Dear all, > On the advice of Virgilio, I converted my Arc v.8x coverage into v.7x, but > that made no difference (ESRI documenation says they should be the same anyway). D. Morisette has also reported some 'weird' coverages, which do not follow the standards. Perhaps you have one of them. Please, take a look at http://pages.infinit.net/danmo/e00/docs/v7_bin_cover.html Anyway,

Dear R users, I have found a quite uncommon behaviour when compiling a library I want to call from R (avce00, in package RArcInfo). I define CPL_LSB (-DCPL_LSB is passed to the compiler in the command line) but it's useless, since #ifdef CPL_LSB ... #endif clauses doesn't notice that CPL_LSB is defined. I also set -O2. Any clue? I have tested the library without optimising the code and

I am having trouble using get.bnddata() in the RArcInfo package. I installed the version 0.2 binary of the package for Windows and am using R 1.4.1 on Windows NT 4.0. I have had no problems importing and plotting arc data with get.arcdata() and plotarc(). plotpal() also works fine. I've been able to use get.arcdata(), get.labdata(), get.paldata(), get.tablenames(), get.tablefields(),

Hi, I have to run lots of simulations based on several spatial scan statistics. Since the main overhead is due to a call to 'apply' , I was wondering whether it could be possible to parallelize this "loop". I know there are a few packages for parallel computing in R but I don't know whether it's worth trying them. Have anyone used these packages before? I have a linux

Dear R users, I am glad to announce the release of a new package for R: DCluster. It implements a number of methods for the detection of clusters of disease. It includes methods to test Poisson extra-variation (Chi-square test and Potthoff-Whittinghill's test), Spatial Autocorrelation (Moran's I and Geary's c), general clustering (Whittermore's statistic and Tango's

I am having trouble using get.arcdata() in RArcInfo. X and y coordinates are not what they should be. Can anyone suggest what might be wrong? I am using RArcInfo 0.4-1. Here is the metadata of my coverage, using describe in Arc: Arc: describe stdir_6 Description of SINGLE precision coverage stdir_6 FEATURE CLASSES

Hi everybody, I heard about "R(D)-COM Stat connector" for ArcGIS, but i am not sure what that is. I did a search in the archive but it seems i am not getting anything back. can anybody explain me what that is, and where i can find more info about it? There is any possibility to run R from inside ArcGIS? there is more than RArcInfo and Shapefile which can

Is there a way to generate maps in R. Specifically, I have calculated estimates of intra-regional inequality for US states, and would like to project that information onto a map. Thanks, Nirmala

i am using the rarcinfo package to draw maps. for maps, th aspect ratio is quite important. how can i control the aspect ratio and the size of a graphics window in the mswindows version of R and more generally in R in general. i would like to e able to both set the size before or while the window is corrected, and also for a window which already exists. -- -- Erich Neuwirth, Computer Supported

Hi, I asked some days ago how to guess the o.s. the machine is running. I found that it is stored in a variable called R_PLATFORM. Now I need a full list of all the values this variable can have because I need to set an option depending on the endianness of the platform in which we are compiling the package. Anyone can help me? Thanks, Virgilio Gómez Rubio Dpto. Estadística e

Hi, As Frank M. Howell noticed (and probably other users), the Windows binaries for DCluster I put in my web page are not working... I have compiled the source code again and know it does. Please, download it again, and sorry for the inconvenience. The URL is http://matheron.uv.es/~virgil/Rpackages/DCluster DCluster is a package that implements some methods for the detection of spatial

Dear all, I've seen that there are some maps, or at least costlines in R. The oz package is the map of Autralia and in the fields package there is a US map and a world map. This world map allows to select smaller sections such Europe: library(fields) world(xlim=c(-10,18),ylim=c(36,60)) However, at this scale the map is quite crude (and several important big islands are messing). My

Hi, I have been thinking about your questions and comments. And I think I have the answers. :D > the way you draw the polygons has the consequence that if the larger one > is drawn after the smaller one, > the color of the smaller one is "overwritten" > and therefore the map is really wrong in the relevant area. > so this needs fixing. Another approach is sorting the

Hello R-List I use DClusters package (I work in a cancer regestry). I have 2 questions about it: 1-how is it possible to get back the bootstrap pValue? I mean the pValue of the calculated statistic with respect of the distribution of this statistic under the null hypothesis. 2-how is it possible to test an overdispersion in the poisson model? for choosing a best model I need this mesure of

Hello Thomas, I am writting to you because I have some questions about R-(D)COM. The first one is whether it can compiled using the MINGW C compiler, that is recomended by B. Ripley to compile R under Windows. The other questions are: - How can I open/close connections directly from C/C++? - Do you know about a free Visual Basic compiler? The final purpose of using R-(D)COM is to create a
