Hello R-users, Is there any more sophisticated way how to identify the dataset outliers other then seeing them in boxplot? I wanna exclude them from further analysis and I am interested in their position in my vector data. Rado -- Radoslav Bonk M.S.

Dear R users, I have to include typical UNIX formated R commands and outputs into the article using LaTeX. What is the easiest way to include R prompt commands and text outputs (including messages) into LaTeX documents? Is there any template or library? So far I'm trying to produce R commands in LaTeX using LaTeX general format options. Thanks, Rado

Dear R-users, I was able to make ROracle package to connect to the DB (Oracle91, 64bit, on Solaris). But after executing siple SQL query, "fetch" commaned gives me an empty dataframe. ### RORACLE INSTALATION PROCEDURE ### R CMD INSTALL --configure-args='--enable-extralibs' --enable-oracle32=no ~/tmp/ROracle_0.5-5.tar.gz #since we have 64bit Oracle9i instalation PROBLEM:

Dear R users, I'm coming back to R after while. I have a data frame with 200 columns, each column has a name. How to extract all columns to a new dataset, but the specified (by names) ones? I was playing with that for a little bit using the vector syntax but got several syntax errors. Thanks, Rado

Hi R-users, How can I found the number of a distinct values in a data frame (occurrence of distinct values)? The dataframe consists of several thousands integer numbers.

Hi R-users, I have a set of elevation residuals as geodata points. I would like to display them in the following way: -negative values using pch=20 (filled circle) -positive values using pch=1 (empty circle) while using the cex.max=5, cex.min=0.1 for points() to represent the residuals value. Basically I would like to distinguish neagtive and positive values at my map. How to do this. Thanks

Hi, Does anybody know suitable documents (manuals) on writing user functions (covering loops, conditions ...) in R? Other than the usually available manuals. Thanks, Rado -- Radoslav Bonk M.S.

Dear R users, I'm working on implementation of hydrometeorological DB in Oracle9i and would like to use R, as a plotting engine for graphs and maps and also to perform some non trivial statistics on DB data using R. Thus any links with examples or efforts on: - general DB and R cooperation - Oracle91 and R cooperation - Oracle PL/SQL and R are welcomed. Thanks in advance, Rado --

Hi R-users, My question is more methodological one, rather than technical. I have to samples representing residuals based on two measurements techniques (resid1,resid2; n=69). I need to compare two samples, to reject one technique (the worse one), and to keep the one which gave lower residuals (better one). What to look for? What should I analyse? Means, variance, std. deviations? Based on

Hi R-users, I am using "postscript("xx.eps", horizontal=FALSE, onefile=FALSE, height=6, width=10, pointsize=10)" and "barplot(xx.dat)" in R to produce EPS graphics for LATeX document. When checking the graphics with "gv" I see that it was not produced with full details. The main graphic is there, but axes labels and titles are missing. While checking the

Hi all, Is there a function to check if a particular value is contained in a vector? I've looked at grep in the hope that I could use a Perl-like syntax, but obviously it's different... I'd like to do something like: y <- c("a","b","c") if("a" in y) { # "a" is not in y } Also, is there a way to

Hi, I'm new to "R". I have a matrix of 6x12. I need to produce matrix of 12x6, such that rows in new matrix are columns from original matrix, and columns in a new matrix are rows from the original one. I was playing with rbind(), and cbind() with no success. Regards, -Rado -- Radoslav Bonk M.S. Dept. of Physical Geography and Geoecology Faculty of Natural Sciences, Comenius

Dear R-users, In order to use ROracle (v. 0.5-5) package I compiled R-1.9.1 on Linux (2.4.20-28.9smp) and installed it. I need to use Oracle9i on Solaris. When executing "library(ROracle)" I got the following error message: > library(ROracle) Error in dyn.load(x, as.logical(local), as.logical(now)) : unable to load shared library

Hi everybody, I'd like to know if there's an easy way for extracting outliers record from a dataset, in order to perform further analysis on them. Thanks Alessandro

Hi, this is both a statistical and a R question... what would the best way / test to detect an outlier value among a series of 10 to 30 values ? for instance if we have the following dataset: 10,11,12,15,20,22,25,30,500 I d like to have a way to identify the last data as an outlier (only one direction). One way would be to calculate abs(mean - median) and if elevated (to what extent ?) delete the

For the analysis of financial data wih a large variance, what is the best way to select an outlier threshold? Listed below, is there a best method to select an outlier threshold and how does R calculate it? In R, how do you find the outlier threshold through an interquartile range? In R, how do you find the outlier threshold using the hist command? In R, how do you find the outlier threshold

Hello, I'm seeking ideas on how to remove outliers from a non-normal distribution predictor variable. We wish to reset points deemed outliers to a truncated value that is less extreme. (I've seen many posts requesting outlier removal systems. It seems like most of the replies center around "why do you want to remove them", "you shouldn't remove them", "it

I want to shade the area under the curve of the standard normal density. Specifically color to the left of -2 and on. How might i go about doing this?

Greetings: I would like comments on this example and after fixing it up, I need help from someone who has access to insert this in R's help page for plotmath. I uploaded a drawing http://pj.freefaculty.org/R/Normal-2009.pdf that is created by the following code http://pj.freefaculty.org/R/Normal1_2009_plotmathExample.R This will be a good addition to the plotmath help page/example.
