A disturbing behaviour of R: an import of data using RODBC library (Windows 98, R 1.1.1) recognizes accented characters in variables names but these can't be manipulated further. See below: > library(Rodbc) > ch<-odbcConnect("Paradox Files") > pollut<-sqlFetch(ch,Pollutio) > pollut Mortalit? Densit? Pollution 1 82 600 110 2 97 960

I use hierclust (hierarchical clustering) in multiv package. In the documentation it is said that plclust (plotting a dendrogram) is available in S-plus. Can I find it anywhere (I have searched through http://lib.stat.cmu.edu/S and found only quotations of plclust in multiv) or is it only part of the S package (which I don't have)? Thanks --------------- Charles RAUX, Laboratoire

Some naive questions: 1) How to remove a column in a data frame? I expected that rm would work but this is not the case (e.g. rm(dat$yyy) gives Warning message: remove: variable dat$yyy was not found). I only found to assign NULL value (e.g.: dat$yyy<-NULL). Is it the right way? 2) Is the place formerly occupied by dat$yyy automatically gained by R for other uses? 3) If t1 and t2 are 2 only

After searching in R- Introduction, FAQ, help... I don't understand this: I write a function in a file (.R): tt <- function(mc) { date() mc<-read.csv2("machines.txt",na.strings="") date() } I source it in R and I type tt(). The answer is > tt() [1] "Mon Aug 14 11:18:25 2000" > The instructions following the first "date()" are ignored. Why?

I used in previous versions of R (R 1.1) to plot axes on projections of factorial coordinates using the function plaxes. This doesn't exist any more. Why this change ?

3 general questions: 1) How can I have the plot History Recording automatically turned on each time I start R (Windows)? 2) How can I have some libraries automatically loaded at R start? 3) As far as I know weights can be specified only for lm. How can I take account of weights with a weighted sample in other models or functions (table but also other multivariate and cluster techniques)? Thanks

I have made a cut of a numeric vector and try to plot it. However only half of the x-axis annotations (the labels) appear on the plot, apparently because of the font size. I have tried cex.lab, cex.axis (what is the difference?) etc. The x labels are never printed whatever value I use from 0.0005 to 20. I can't obtain a way to make all the labels appear correctly. Between the short help

To whom it may concern. As I would like to analyse some array data I was keen on downloading the lumi package that depends obviously on hdrcde that is not available for r 2.12.1. I did not find instructions to solve or circumvent this problem. Installing hdrcde by hand did not work either. It was not detected by > (.packages(all.available=TRUE)) if installed in the R library. Thanks Hermann

Hi all, My name is Amy, I am a masters student in Bioinformatics at North Carolina State University. I am working on a project and I am trying to use the lumi R package for microarray data analysis. I have shown the sample code here and have questions about modifying the sample code for my own data. lumi package in R, example.lumi, the sample data has 8000 features and 4 samples I have

Hi I have two models . Dbase -------- name vendor type port defuser - default user name Users ------- username password email I need to build an association between these two in that the dbase model''s defuser needs to be present in the users table. I am from a relational database background so am trying hard to understand rails associations. What should I do to associate the

Hello, I would like to transform a contingency table (A x B) into a data frame while keeping the cross-tabulation structure (i.e. rows = levels of A, columns = levels of B). I have tried as.data.frame, xtabs, etc... and always got a "flattened" list of 3 variables (A, B, Freq). How to do that? Thanks in advance Charles Raux

Hi All, I am experiencing issues with the use of DBase files on a Samba 2.0.5a share, that appear to be due to locking problems. Basically, I have test programs for both DOS and Win32 that does nothing but append records to a DBase database (DBF/MDX files). If more than one client PC is appending to this file, data loss occurs. I get random data loss, with records lost, and index file

All, My company uses Goldmine as its contact/sales opportunity manager. (Uses Dbase for it''s DB). I''m trying to get a Rails app to implement the parts of it we actually use. I''ve been building my Rails app in MySQL. Now I''m need to start getting data from Goldmine into my Rails app. What''s the recommended approach? A one time transfer of data?

Hello, the k-means {stats} help and the Hartigan&Won paper say nothing about the way random sets works (parameter nstart). I would expect to get the different results for each random initial set but I always obtain only one result: how is it selected? Charles Raux

Hi all, I am trying to do fitting of large sets of timeseries data, and error messages derail the process when I encounter a dataset that doesn't fit. I'd like to ignore those "misfits" and try another equation or move to the next dataset. Any ideas? (piece of code below) Thanks, --Warren ##The code looks something like this: attach(zf) x <- hours

Hi I know that it is very easy to import data from a dbf file to R, by saving the data as csv, for instance. However, I have several hundreds of files to do that. So, I thought of using RODBC to read the dbf files and save it as data.frame. However, I cannot even start (this is my first time using such package): > library(RODBC) > bdades <- odbcConnect("prova.DBF") Warning
