Dear, I'm looking for some examples on OO programming in R. I have the programming manual with explanation on UseMethod and NextMethod but I miss some practical examples to get me going (I hope). I searched the web but could not find a good independent tutorial on this. Any suggestions are welcome, Kris -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hi, I'm new to R and looking for a way to use a variable to reference to an object. I'm plotting several graphs on top of each other and want to do this by a for loop. The field I want to graph have names like a1,a2,a3, ... I can't figure out how to get this working: It should look like this: lines(spectral$Wavelength,paste("spectral$a",j,sep=""),col=j) but

Dear, we have a problem with geoR. We try to read an ASCII table (x,y,z) with 40000 lines. With read.geodata we get the error: Error in vector("double", length) : cannot allocate vector of length 799980000 We can read the file without any problem with read.table, but trying to convert it to the geodata class gets the same error. Any help/tips would be appreciated. Kris, Dave --

Dear, We are trying to read an asciifile using the read.table() function and discovered that only 4 decimals are read. Any idea how to get more decimals?

Hi, I can't figure out how to get the P-values out of the summery of a logistic regression. I used: logit.out <- glm(...) and then I should be able to extract just the P values for the coefficients. Any idea? Kris -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------ http://perswww.kuleuven.ac.be/~u0027178/VCard/mycard.php?name=krisn

Dear, I have XYZ data available in a MySQL database. I get it out, can plot the data with the plot() function, load it into a geoR datastructure. But what I actually would like to do is a simple contouring of the data based on a no Kriging interpolation such as TIN based. I know the first thing I shold do is interpolate a full matrix for the region I have my points for, then contour should

Dear all, Is there a simple trick to read in data with the following format and create a Time Serie object of it? Date CountOfField2 5/10/1998 7 5/11/1998 5 5/12/1998 2 5/14/1998 1 5/15/1998 1 5/19/1998 1 5/20/1998 1 5/21/1998 1 5/24/1998 2 5/25/1998 1 5/26/1998 2 .... 2002 ... R should recognize that some dates are not available...(NA). You can define start and end date Ok, and frequency= 365

Dear, Thanks for the previous tips about 'its' for importing the following data. 5/10/1998,7 5/11/1998,5 5/12/1998,2 5/14/1998,1 5/15/1998,1 5/19/1998,1 5/20/1998,1 1. When using the following command; test<-readcsvIts('Fires98.csv',informat=its.format("%m/%d/%Y"),header=FA LSE) the function reads in the data from the csv file as; V2 05/10/1998 7

Hi R-Helpers, I'm dealing with the STL procedure and trying to apply the tsdiag and StructTS onto the ts object to analyse the different parameters which need to be set. How can I use the tsStructure & tsdiag to create a seasonal, trend and cycle subseries plot so that I can select & analyse the correct np,ns, nt and nl? The problem is that too much signal goes into the seasonal

Dear R Helpers, Currently I'm working with the ts package of R and created a TimeSerie from pixels extracted from satellite imagery(S10 NDVI data, 10 daily composites). I'm trying to decompose this signal in different signals (seasonal and trend). When testing out the STL method is says => Only univariate timeseries are allowed, but the current Timeserie I'm using is univariate!

Hello all, I want to interpolate some data i prepared in GRASS, so I'm looking for what interpolation methods are available for R. In GRASS I can do Splines with tension and IDW. I'm looking for something like multiquadric equations. Is there any function/package available fo rthis? thanks all -- +-------------------------------------------------+ Carlos Henrique Grohmann de

Dear All, We are about to purchase the second edition of Agresti's "Categorical Data Analysis" (my old copy of the first ed. of that wonderful book is falling apart). I would appreciate suggestions about other comparable books which, if possible, have examples using R/S code (instead of SAS).

Hi all, I would like to do some QSAR analysis (quantitative structure activity relationship). I need to use some Partial Least Squares (PLS) regression, but I have not seen this option on the R-project. Is it possible to do this kind of regression on R? thank you in advance best regards, olivier [[alternate HTML version deleted]]

Hi All, Sorry if this is a repost (a quick browse didn't give me the answer). I wonder if there are packages that can do the feature selection and classification at the same time. For instance, I am using SVM to classify my samples, but it's easy to get overfitted if using all of the features. Thus, it is necessary to select "good" features to build an optimum hyperplane (?).

Ich habe in R eine Version von SIR gefunden und ausprobiert. Leider kann diese multivariate Responses nicht verarbeiten. Gibt es in R eine ausgefeilte Version von SIR?

Dear All, I have been using the randomForest package for a couple of difficult prediction problems (which also share p >> n). The performance is good, but since all the variables in the data set are used, interpretation of what is going on is not easy, even after looking at variable importance as produced by the randomForest run. I have tried a simple "variable selection"

If an array has missing values in different rows, plotting using the formul= a=20 interface can produce errors. Example: fake.data <- matrix(rep(-100:100, 4), ncol =3D 4) par(mfrow =3D c(1,2)) boxplot(fake.data ~ col(fake.data)) abline(h =3D 0, lty =3D 2) boxplot(as.data.frame(fake.data)) abline(h =3D 0, lty =3D 2) ##### Add the missing data fake.data[190:200, 1] <-

To avoid angry replies, let me first say that I know that the use of Type III sums of squares is controversial, and that some statisticians recommend instead that significance be judged using the non-marginal terms in the ANOVA. However, given that type III SS is also demanded by some… is there a function (equivalent to drop1 for lm) to obtain type III sums of squares for mixed models using the

To anyone who can help, I have two stupid questions, and one fairly intelligent question Stupid question (1): is there an R function to calculate a factorial of a number? That is...is there a function g(.) such that g(3) = 6, g(4) = 24, g(6) = 720, etc? Stupid question (2): how do you extract the estimated covariance matrix of the random effects in an lme object? Intelligent question

Dear All, I have a list, where several components are NULL, and I'd like to obtain that very same list without the NULL components (i.e., I do not want to unlist or otherwise loose the rest of the list structure). I can do that with a loop, but how could I do it without a loop? Thanks, Ram?n -- Ram?n D?az-Uriarte Bioinformatics Unit Centro Nacional de Investigaciones Oncol?gicas (CNIO)
