Sorry for the off-topic question, but I know there are some talented LaTeX users out there. Which bibliography style gives only the year in text citations (e.g "for further details, see Anderson (1992)" )?

Many thanks to those who answered my question about how to test for the existence of a file: Berwin Turlach, Jari Oksanen, Henrik Bengtsson, Uwe Ligges, and Joerg Maeder. The simplest solution is to use the built-in (!!!) function file.exists() which returns TRUE if the file exists, and FALSE if it doesn't. Like, duhhhhhh!!! It's exactly what I wanted. Special thanks to Berwin Turlach

Hi, I found that the R package "KernSmooth" can deal with only 1D and 2D data. But now I have a collection of 4-dimensional data (x1,x2,x3,x4) and would like to estimate the "mode" of the underlying density. What can I do about it ?

Dear all, Our department uses the linux system and we are not allowed to submit job directly. We must make a batch to submit through "qmon". so, I make a foo.sh file, which only contains one line: nohup R --vanilla < foo.txt > foo.results foo is all my codes. It is a simulation of 200 times. I set the seed at the beginning. It is to estimate the success probability, which is

Dear List: I am unsure if my problem is with Sweave or LaTeX. Anyhow, I am using the MikTeX distribution and TexnicCenter. I can easily create Sweave files and all goes well until I try to incorporate graphics. I use the same code as found in the examples found in the users manual. In R, the graphics I want are created as Sweave is creating the .tex file. When I examine the .tex file

I think that there is a bug in the as.POSIXct function on Windows.

Hi, I am trying to use piecewise linear regression to approximate a nonlinear function. Actually, I don't know how many linear functions I need, therefore, I want build an array of regression models to automate the approximation job. Could you please give me any clue?

Having trouble with netCDF since I upgraded to 1.2.1 (did directly from 1.1.1). Package was recompiled after the upgrade.

OK. What if I have a time series which is collected every Monday, please? What is the proper way to use the start option within the ts command in order to indicate that this is Monday data, please? Thanks again! Sincerely, Erin

Dear R experts, I installed R-1.7.1 on Linux (Red Hat 9.0) starting from R-1.7.1.tgz without a problem. Then I fired up R and tried things and found that help.start( ) does not work. I downloaded Sun Java j2re1.4.2, installed that and re-installed R-1.7.1 from scratch. I tried help.start( ) again and the browser (Mozilla 1.2.1) crashed. I read about copying libjavaplugin_oji.so into

I sent this to the list last week, and haven't seen it pop up. Either I deleted it when it did appear, or possibly it was destroyed as spam...? If it did appear and I somehow missed it, appologies. In a nutshell, can the function FUN supplied to by() deduce what level of factor by() was on when FUN was called? I've been digging through the functions, and can't see where the

My google search for Plackett's Algorithm didn't return too much except that Plackett's algorithm appears to be useful in Control Theory - it is elaborated as "Plackett's algorithm for on-line recursive least squares estimation".
