Dear friends, I try to get started with R and can’t estimate kurtosis of a random sample by using one command. I have installed R 1.6.2. Please help. Max --------------------------------- ur needs [[alternate HTML version deleted]]

thanks to all for the 2d scatter plot. i have one more. how do i plot 'hist(y1, col="red") and hist(y2,col="blue") in the same window? thanks again.

The current version of the methods package now has a namespace. Packages using S4 methods and classes can have NAMESPACE files. New directives can be included in NAMESPACE files to import and export classes and methods. Namespaces allow cleaner definition of the API for packages, and are needed for future improvements to R. NOTE: This is a major revision. In principle, it should be back

Hi everyone another documented feature that was a bit unexpected for me: R> x <- 19 R> f <- function(t){t+x} R> f(100) [1] 119 --as expected: x is visible from within f() ..but... R> g <- function(a){x <- 1e99 ; return(f(a))} R> g(4) [1] 23 --the "x" that is visible from within g() is just 19, which is not the one I expected it to find. R> rm(x)

Occasionally I have had plotmath refuse to draw x-axis labels. This has happened when the label, created using expression(paste( ) ) as below, could be drawn easily in the available space. I have not reproduced that, but the following example with a clearly overly long label results in no xlab at all. I hoped that at least a truncated label would be plotted. This is probably related to my

Full_Name: Mark Wall Version: 1.6.0 OS: linux Submission from: (NULL) (63.251.119.254) I want to plot a histogram of a *subset* of some data: >t = c(0:9) >hist(t,right=FALSE,breaks=10,xlim=c(0,5),xaxs="i") This means I should plot a histogram from 0 to 5 with breaks at 1,2,3,4. This should produce exactly 5 bars of frequency=1. Instead I get 5 and 1/4 bars. I do not want the

R-list -- I am working with some SPlus code and get the following error Error in terms.default(formula, data = data) : no terms component Can someone point me to a fix? The pasted formula looks ok when printed during the procedure. Thanks, Dan =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Daniel A.

Dear All: I'd like to know how to sort and then index a vector of floats by several levels in R. For example >x<-rnorm(100) > MyLevels<-quantile(x,probs=c(0,.5,1)) > MyLevels 0% 50% 100% -2.11978442 -0.03770613 2.00186397 next i want to replace each x[i] in x by 1,2,3 or 4 depending on which quantile that x[i] falls. How do I do that in a

Hi, does anyone know how to plot 3D parametric surface,e.g ellipsoid: x=a*cos(s)*cos(t), y=b*sin(s)*cos(t), z=sin(t); s in [0,2*pi], t in [-pi,pi]. Vytautas Maniusis, Vilnius University, Lithuania

There's something (probably a lot) missing in my understanding of plotmath. The LaTeX code for what I'm trying to produce is \log(-\log(\hat R)) My (probably hopeless) attempt at it uses nested group()s: expression(plain(log) * group("(", -plain(log)*group("(", \hat(R), ")"), ")")) Can anyone do it right for me, please? Thanks, Ted. Dr E.A.

Hi, I want to write in x axis label "fitted value of lambda" (lambda in greek letter). xlab=expression(lambda) gives the "lambda", I tryed things like xlab=paste ("fitted value of ", expression(lambda)) but I didn't get the greek letter.

Hi. I've tried to create a polygon with one hole by gpclib using following example script. holepoly <- read.polyfile(system.file("poly-ex/hole-poly.txt", package ="gpclib"), nohole = FALSE) area.poly(holepoly) plot(holepoly,poly.args=list(col="red",border="blue")) And I noticed plot function couldn't draw polygons with holes correctly.

Hi, I want to use R for some data mining project , and was wondering if it has any intercative graphical features? For example, is it possible to plot a histogram and be able to select a specific point on it and have all the data about it? or select a specific area in a curve and have all the data about it? or possibilities to zoom out and in? Thank you for your help, Mama Benchaffai School of

Hi. I got a problem, perhaps someone can help me....... every time, when I want to plot data, both axis are labeled by default like data[1,] and data[2,] how can I make a plot without ANY labeling? does anyone know that? thanks for helping Michael [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Hello. I was wondering how one can find the exact values of the range of an axis within a plot. In xlispstat it was (send plot :range 0). Thanks much, Jason

In Germany the Unemployment Agency uses a sectioning of the german map that is different from the usual Administrative Boundaries. Some demographic data are available in Administrative Boundaries only, some in Unemployment Boundaries only. I would like to generate estimates in one boundary system of data availabe in the other boundary system, and would appreciate advice concerning the following

Greetings all: I have to create a graph that has very specific dimensions for publication purposes. The graph is a semilog scaled graph and the axes must range from 1 to 1,000,000 on the y axis and 0 to 100 on the x axis. The x axis should be exactly 8 inches and the y axis should be exactly 5.25 inches. I've been able to set the plot area to 8 x 5.25 using the par(pin=c(8,5.25)). The

I would like to retrieve a vector of integers from a call to .C(), but I don't know its length in advance. How do I do this without making an ugly safe guess? My vector is called "sequences". I am passing the argument sequences = integer(0) in the call to .C(), then declaring the corresponding argument as int *sequences in my C code. I tried R_alloc()ing the storage in C and

I think this is a bug, but perhap someone could confirm that it is not just me doing something stupid. (I vaguely recall something like this previously getting fixed in 1.7.0.)

Hi folks: Is there a lookup function that returns the variate given the cumulative probability for an object returned by the density(...) function? > mydata _ as.vector(mymatrix) > mydata.density _ density(mydata) > mydata.p80 _ lookup(mydata.density, p=0.8) # is there any function to accomplish this task?
