Hello, I have a beginner's Q: if i want to know all the functions provided by a package, what is command for that? in another word, Is there a command to list all the commands available in a packege? thanks a lot, yan

Hello, thank you all for answering my previous Qs.. I have a new Q: I am wondering is there good source for explaning input and output parameters of R function? In that aspect, I found the help documents in R is not that helpful:) I am struggling with trying to understand what some of the returned value means.. for example, for surf.ls() function, the help in R only describes 3 fields(the

Hi list, I am unsuccessfully trying to produce a serious of trellis barcharts from within a for-loop. The barcharts work outside the loop. What am I missing? Example attached. Thanks Herry #XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX trellis.device(bg="white") trellis.par.get("fontsize")->fontsize fontsize$default<-16 trellis.par.set("fontsize",fontsize)

Dear R list I am looking for a function in R that computes the integration of a discrete curve, such as a power spectrum, in a specified interval (in my case, that would be 'power in a certain frequency band'). I found only functions, such as 'integrate', that perform adaptive quadrature on analytic functions, and not on a curve specified as a set of (x,y) pairs. I have the

Dear R users, I have spectral data (say, wavelength vs. extinction coefficient) for which I??d like to calculate an integral (i.e. the area underneath the curve). Suppose the (artificial) dataset is lambda E 1 2 2 4 3 5 4 8 5 1 6 5 7 4 8 9 9 8 10 2 How can I calculate an integral for these values using R? Many thanks for any help! Regards Christoph

Hello list! I would like to fit a distribution to each of the peaks in a histogram, such as this: http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/7029/2724/1600/DU145-Bax3-Bcl-xL.png . The peaks are identified using Petr Pikal peaks function ( http://finzi.psych.upenn.edu/R/Rhelp02a/archive/33097.html), but after that I am quite stuck. Any idea as to how I can: Fit a distribution to each peak Integrate the

  By any chance is there an R equivalent to MATLAB's "whos" command?   I tried searching R and R-seek, but didn't really come up with anything.    There are several items I would like to make sure are stored in the workspace and check their values.   Thank you again for your help and any feedback.     > ?workspace No documentation for 'workspace' in specified

R 1.6.1 on Windows NT4: The boxplot() function appears to draw its own tick marks and axis values even when called with add=TRUE. As a toy example, try x <- rnorm(100) f <- factor(rep(1:4, each=25)) plot(c(0,4), c(-3,3), type="n", xaxt="n", yaxt="n") boxplot(x ~ f, add=TRUE) My expectation is that a high-level plotting function will not mess with the axes

I'm trying to write a package which uses classes/methods as defined in the `methods' package. I have a single .R file which defines the class and various methods for that class. At the top of the file I have require(methods) and then setClass("myclass", ...) setGeneric("intersect") setMethod("intersect", "myclass", function(x,y) ...) I noticed

Has anyone tried to build r-devel on a RedHat 7.1 with the gcc 3.1.1 compiler? I didn't have problems with gcc 2.95.x or gcc 3.0.4, but when I ran the configure with gcc 3.1.1 I got the following error: [...] checking whether gcc accepts -M for generating dependencies... yes checking whether gcc supports -c -o FILE.lo... yes checking how to get verbose linking output from g77... -v checking

r-help, I can't seem to get the below data organized in such a manner so as to generate a contour plot using any of the functions {lattice.contourplot, base.contour, base.filled.contour}. I was wondering if anyone could please tell me what I need to do to accomplish this. X,Y,Level -31.105,86.911,3843 -3.385,86.911,3896 24.335,86.911,3874 -24.175,79.700,3900 -3.385,79.700,3927

Hi, I'm a new R user. My goal is to do a variogram using geoR. I started by trying to do the example in the geoR Illustrative Session using my own data. I am able to read in my Ascii data using: D <- matrix(scan("file.dat", n=530*3), 530,3, byrow=TRUE). Then I use: as.geodata(D, coords.col=1:2, data.col=3) to make the object D geodata. I check the descriptive statistics,

Dear Experts, I need to calculate the cdf of the standard normal distribution, i.e. H(x) = 1/sqrt(2*pi) integral(exp(-z^2/2) dz), where z is b/w -infi to infi. I know there should be a way to do it in R, but did not know to do it. I'd appreciate any help you could offer. Charlie Liu Graduate student intern at EPA/ECO

Hi all, Although R seems to have jpeg() and png() functions that converts data into jpeg and png formated files, it doesn't have functions the other way around. Does one of R contributed packages have gif, jpeg and png image readers?

A colleague pointed me to this article advocating R as a Matlab substitute. Here is the link (deliberately on two lines: http://searchenterpriselinux.techtarget.com/ originalContent/0,289142,sid39_gci902076,00.html I'm not a Matlab user, but I understand that it provides a nice front end to the Linpack collection of numerical linear algebra routines.

Hi, I'm faced with the following problem and would appreciate some advice. I could have a data frame x that looks like this: aa bb a 1 "A" b 2 "B" The advantage of this is that I could access all the individual components easily. Also I could access all the rows and columns easily. Alternatively, I could have a list of

Dear Group, I am looking for ways to use R and Matlab. Doing the data transformations in R and using the data in Matlab to analyze with some pre-defined scripts. Any good ways to transfer the data into matlab in its most recent version? I tried using R.matlab but the writeMat output is not readable by Matlab. I just need to output a data.frame and read it as is into matlab where I can do any

I ran into a problem trying to make a plot from a file that's read using source. Basically, I have the following code in a file "plot.R" : library(nlme) data(Loblolly) fm1 <- nlme(height ~ SSasymp(age, Asym, R0, lrc), data = Loblolly, fixed = Asym + R0 + lrc ~ 1, random = Asym ~ 1, start = c(Asym = 103, R0 = -8.5, lrc = -3.3))

>From "R Installation and Administration:" Note that the BLAS library will be used for several add-on packages as well as for R itself. This means that it is better to use a shared BLAS library, as most of a static library will be compiled into the R executable and each BLAS-using package. Is there an idiots guide on how to do this (or should idiots just not try).
