Hello all, would someone please tell me why the following code doesn't "work" (i.e. do what i expected!). I wanted to convert numeric variables in a matrix to ordered (for input as nominal variables into the 'daisy' program). Why does the following code seem to work, but the "is.ordered" command reports that the variables are not ordered (factors)?? > xxx <-

Hi all, I have a bit of a newbie question here that I hope y'all can help with. I've run a cluster analysis using hclust on about 500 objects (using R1.3 under Win 2000). The problem is that the tips of the dendrogram are so close together on the plot that the labels overlap and are unreadable. I've used "cex" to reduce the label sizes but this isn't sufficient with so

I was trying to install R on a unix server. Because of a firewall i can't install biocLite for working with Bioconductor. With windows it wasn't a problem. I used the option '--internet2' to bypass the firewall. I don't have any idea, how to do it with unix. I tried to set my proxy >Sys.putenv("http_proxy"="http...:8080")

Hi all, I recently (today) updated the Matrix package and installed the latticeExtra package, but then when I tried to load the lme4 package, I got the following error message:- > library(lme4) Loading required package: Matrix Loading required package: latticeExtra Error in importIntoEnv(impenv, impnames, ns, impvars) : object(s) '.__C__lmeRep' are not exported by

Hi all, Wouldn't it be nice (??!!) if R automatically issued a warning message when the R console buffer was about to fill so that you could save all your output into a text file? (I know about sink(), but I think it would be good to have an easier mechanism to save a complete record of messages and function output). And on a similar vein, wouldn't it also be nice if R automatically

Just installed R on a new machine which is on a server. I am trying to download packages but seem to have trouble with our proxy settings. I have read the 2.19 section in R for Windows and tried what was suggested (setting http_proxy) but that did not help (still cannot connect). I think my problem is that we do not have a fixed port but use instead autoproxy. Has anyone encountered this problem

There have been quite a few questions recently about this, so I have tried to gather experience. I set up a proxy using Apache2 (a very common server) behind our firewall and tried various authentication approaches. One comment: all the methods return error messages when they fail. Please don't report `it doesn't work' without the full details. 1) For a proxy that authenticates

Dear R users, I am using R Version 1.3.0 (2001-06-22) under Windows 2000 Professional (SP 2).

Hi all, Can someone tell me how to justify (right or left) the labels on the branches of a dendrogram tree? I have produced a dendrogram via agnes and plotted it with pltree. The dendrogram terminal branch labels seem to be centre-justified by default and I was hoping to change this to left justification.

hi, as I'm using R at Dell (where I am working), I manage to install packages from web, but there is a web proxy, which is pretty boring. R asks me to enter an active directory login/password, that would normally auth me through the web proxy, but it doesn't work. I'm looking forward for your help. Sorry if I used bad english. Any ideas ? Laurent -- «Un peu d'internationalisme

This reminds me of a question I've never asked yet: Is there a trick to make this work when a username authentication is required for using the proxy? I need a user name and a password to connect to the Internet, and so I get: > version _ platform i386-pc-mingw32 arch x86 os Win32 system x86, Win32 status major

Dear R users, I have a problem in the configuration of R: I just changed university, and my conection to the net is via a password, which permits me to access the packages with no problem via the internet explorer (version 6).

Hi I can't get R to connect to the internet. I am running R 1.7.1 on Windows XP and whenever I try to download packages etc from within R using the internet, it fails. OK so I am behind a firewall and use a proxy server.... SO, if I go to my MS-DOS prompt and type: RGui.exe --internet2 everything works.... BUT i can't set up a shortcut for this as Windows (I hate Windows) complains

Yum using proxy that requires authentication and a Password that contains the two characters \/ fails normally I can get yum to work with a proxy that requires authentication when required by doing something like http_proxy=http://<my username>:<my password>@<proxy server>:<proxy server port> export http_proxy or by filling in the appropriate information in yum.conf.

Hi All, I have been trying to solve the issue of Xen-based Virtual Machines (as I described earlier); I have the problem of ethernet ports locked to a single Mac address in my lab--hence VM''s can''t communicate using bridging other than their own dom0. To further test/confirm, yesterday I took my laptop at home and connected to my Home-Hub (which issues DHCP based IPs); I
