What you may need is to compile this package from source. It is explained in one of the R manuals (I can't remember which one though). You can also look at my "R Guide for Windows Users" at http://www.stat.auckland.ac.nz/~kwan022/rinfo.php (Section 5). I'm not sure the exact contents in the labdsv_0.9-1.tar.gz , but in general you can first unpack it with, e.g.: tar zxvf

Dear all, Has anyone written R code for partial Mantel Tests- as described for instance in Legtendre & Legendre (1998) ? In other words, in a community ecology analysis, I would like to calculate the correlation between two dissimilarity matrices, controlling for a third distance matrix representing geographical distances between sites. Thanks! Christophe Bouget Biodiversité et gestion des

Dear R-helpers, this mail is intended to mention a rather trange result and generate potential useful comments on it. I am not aware of another posts on this issue ( RSiteSearch("quasipoisson lmer version dispersion")). MUsing the exemple in the reference of the lmer function (in lme4 library) and turning it into a quasi-poisson or quasi-binomial analysis, we get different results,

Help, I tried to install the R-package on my computer, but R-Gui seems to provoke a failure in the R.dlll. I reinstalled the windows programs that R requires, but nothing changed at all (my portable computer seems to load smthg a long time before warning R-gui failed and that I have to close R- gui). What can I do??? ========================== Fr?d?ric ARCHAUX Equipe Interactions Individus

Hello I will be applying MDS (actually Isomap) to make a psychological "concept map" of the similarities between N concepts. I would like to scale to a large number of concepts, however, the resulting N*(N-1) pairwise similarities is prohibitive for a user survey. I'm thinking of giving people random subsets of the pairwise similarities. Does anyone have recommendations for this

Hello, Could someone tell me whether the spatial statistics module of Splus is worth the rather high price, or whether one could (with reasonable effort) carry out the same things using R and some of its contributed packages. Although we do have Splus (Windows and Unix), we definitely prefer to use R whenever feasible (both for research and teaching). Thanks for developing a superb

Canberra distance is defined in function `dist' (standard library `mva') as sum(|x_i - y_i| / |x_i + y_i|) Obviously this is undefined for cases where both x_i and y_i are zeros. Since double zeros are common in many data sets, this is a nuisance. In our field (from which the distance is coming), it is customary to remove double zeros: contribution to distance is zero when both x_i

Hi, It seems like a number of people on this list can install rgl but have problem loading it. I found myself in the same situation too. I have tried the workaround of removing /usr/X11R6/lib from DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH, but it doesn't seem to work for me, I am still getting the same error (that everyone else seems to get). Can anyone give me some ideas on what else to try? I have Mac OS 10.3.5,

Hi, I'd like to perform Dufrene-Legendre Indicator Species Analysis for a multivariate regression tree. However I have problems with arguments of duleg(veg,class,numitr=1000)function. How to obtain a vector of numeric class memberships for samples, or a classification object returned from mvpart? thanks in advance -- Best regards, Agnieszka Strzelczak

Dear R-help, I'm trying to create a simple R package that contains 3 string functions, but I have run into some problems: what are the correct permission for the files in the package directory? Yours faitfully, Rasmus * checking for file `stringfun/DESCRIPTION' ... OK * checking package directory ... OK * checking for sufficient/correct file permissions ... WARNING * Found the

Hi After trying a simple decorana analysis (from the vegan package) on a simple data frame which contains no NA's the following error was returned: > tt_decorana(covN) Error in decorana(covN) : NA/NaN/Inf in foreign function call (arg 1) Have any vegan users come across this error and know what can be done about it? Cheers, J

Dear Colleagues, As a novice I was trying to calculate Shannon diversity index using diversity function in vegan package and kept having same error message. Error in sum(..., na.rm = na.rm) : invalid 'mode' of argument My dataset is from microarray and have abundant missing values, so I tried labeling them as NA and 0, but still same error message. Shannon index is negative

Dear R-users: Im trying (using gam package) to develop a stepwise analysis. My gam object contains five pedictor variables (a,b,c,d,e,f). I define the step.gam: step.gam(gamobject, scope=list("a"= ~s(a,4), "b"= ~s(b,4), "c"= ~s(c,4), "d"= ~s(d,4), "e"= ~s(e,4), "f"= ~s(f,4))) However, the result shows a formula containing the whole

Dear All I am trying to do a partial canonical analysis of principal coordinates using Bray-Curtis distances. The capscale addin to R appears to be the only way of doing it, however, when I try and calculate a Bray-Curtis distance matrix either using Capscale or Vegedist (capscale I understand uses Vegedist anyway to calculate its distance matrix), R uses up all available memory on the computer,

I have been trying to use the rbeta() function to generate random beta variates with a particular mean and standard deviaiton for some simulation problems I am working on, however I am unsure of the relationship between the parameters shape1 and shape2 and the mean and standard deviation of the beta distribution. I am guessing that there is a formula for this, but I am unsure what it is. Can

Hi: The y axis on the hist function seems to set its limits oddly. sometimes, it covers the full range of the data and sometimes it stops one major tick short. I have had this behavior with a variety of data sets, and it can easily be reproduced by just running the following several times: hist(rnorm(100000)) I have tried explicitly setting ylim to the range of values produced by rnorm

I am trying to install labDSV from http://labdsv.nr.usu.edu/ into R-Windows 1.5.0. It only comes as a TAR file which extracts into folders that seem to match those for other libraries DATA, MAN, R and SRC. I have manually copied these folders into a folder called labDSV under the Library directory under R. However when I load the library I get a message that the library contains no R code.

Dear Help List, My name is Matt Oliver. I have been using R for about a year and find it very helpful. However, I have a need for a function that I cannot find. I am not very good at programming so I thought I would ask the group. I have an irregular grid of data (x = Longitude, y = Latitude). Each pair of my x,y has a categorical value. Obviously linear or any other numerically based

Hello, Can you get eigenvalues in addition to eigevectors using prcomp? If so how? I am unable to use princomp due to small sample sizes. Thank you in advance for your help!
