How do you stop R from putting up a dialog box when you quit Rgui?

Greetings all. Any help with the following would be appreciated. I want to create a data frame for each file in a directory. The following code does not work but it may show what I am trying to do: carmakes <- c('BMW','Chrysler','Citroen','Fiat','Ford','Holden','Honda',

I want to interlace two vectors. This I can do: > x <- 1:4 > z <- x+0.5 > as.vector(t(cbind(x,z))) [1] 1.0 1.5 2.0 2.5 3.0 3.5 4.0 4.5 but this seems rather inelegant. Any suggestions?

I got a shock a few days ago when I accidentally visited www.r-project.com . I thought that the r-project site had been hacked until I realised my mistake. There is also a site www.r-project.net. Both of these sites appear to be Japanese. Does anyone know anything about them? I suppose that it is not unusual for names close to those of popular sites to be used. It is good that they use a

Well I don't know if anyone can help with this but it will be interesting to know if others have had the same problem. I can't start R at home on my laptop [ I'm using 1.8.1 under Windows XP]. When I click on the shortcut I get the usual Windows box for when an application needs to close. A couple of clicks down it displays the following: Error signature AppName: rgui.exe

Hi, What is the best text editor for programming in R? I am using JEdit as the text editor, however, it does not have anything specific for R. It will be nice to have a developing environment where the keywords are highlighted, plus some other debugging functions. Yi-Xiong [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Hai - kann mir jemand sagen, wie ich den Modalwert in R berechne?! IRgendwie finde ich den Befehl nicht.... greetz und herzlichen Dank Sonja

I found myself wanting to average a vector [vec] within each level of a factor [Fac], returning a vector of the same length as vec. After a while I realised that lm1 <- lm(vec ~ Fac) fitted(lm1) did what I want. But there must be another way to do this, and it would be good to be able to apply other functions than mean() in this way. Cheers, Murray -- Dr Murray Jorgensen

G'day list! I'm thinking about programming likelihood and score intervals for generalized linear models in R based on the paper "On the computation of likelihood ratio and score test based confidence intervals in generalized linear models" by Juha Alho (1992) (Statistics in Medicine, 11, 923-930). Being lazy, I thought that I would ask if anyone else on the list has

I am introducing the scan() function to my class. Consider the following file (Scanexamp.Rnw ) \documentclass[12pt]{article} \begin{document} <<>>= height = scan() 64 62 66 65 62 69 72 72 70 part = scan(what = character(0)) "Soprano" "Soprano" "Soprano" "Alto" "Alto" "Tenor" "Tenor" "Bass"

I have just noticed that quite a few columns of a data frame that I am working on are numeric factors. For summary() purposes I want them to be vectors. I tried, for example > indx <- c(1:18,21:37,40,41) > i <- 0 > i <- i+1 > summary(as.vector(sflows1[indx[i]])) Length Class Mode min.pkt.sz 3000 factor numeric but this does not give the five-number

Suppose you fit a linear model > model.1 ~ lm(v1 ~ ..., data=myframe) and v2 is some other column of myframe typically not in the model. You will often want to try > plot(v2, model.1$residuals) but this will fail if there are NAs in the response v1 as model.1$residuals has length equal to the number of nonmissing values in v1. I suppose > plot(v2[!is.na(v1)],

I am exploring the result of clustering a large multivariate data set into a number of groups, represented, say, by a factor G. I wrote a function to see how categorical variables vary between groups: > ddisp <- function(dvar) { + csqt <- chisq.test(G,dvar) + print(csqt$statistic) + print(csqt$observed) + print(round(csqt$expected)) + round(csqt$residuals) + } > > x

I wanted a sort of matrix product of an array and a matrix. As there does not seem to be any array multiplication apart from outer() I proceeded as follows: lambda <- array(0, c(n,m,d)) # stuff omitted # zed is an n by m matrix # # \lamb.star_{ik} lamb.star <- matrix(0, nrow=n, ncol=d) for (i in 1:n) { for (k in 1:d) { for (j in 1:m) { lamb.star[i,k] = lamb.star[i,k] +

I'm running R 1.2.2 under windows 98 on a Pentium 133 laptop. I can't seem to retrieve the package MASS data sets: > library(MASS) > data(wtloss) Warning message: Data set `wtloss' not found in: data(wtloss) > data(abbey) Warning message: Data set `abbey' not found in: data(abbey) And yet all the .rda files for the MASS datasets are in D:\Program

I want to paste in the following numbers into a scan: 0.023 0.032 0.054 0.069 0.081 0.094 0.105 0.127 0.148 0.169 0.188 0.216 they are separated by tabs alone, unless my mailer has done something to the tabs. Now have a look at this: > scan() 1: 0.0230.0320.0540.0690.0810.094 1: 0.1050.1270.1480.1690.1880.216 Error in scan() : "scan" expected a real, got

[This message is not always serious, but it addresses a real problem.] A problem with R's present name is that it is not very well suited to search engines, although Google at least seems to cope as long as you have sufficient other terms to filter out Toys R Us. Initials remain a problem. I suppose "R" is just too culty to do away with, but perhaps we could come up with a longer

Consider the following analysis of a class experiment done as a Latin Square: > spinner <- gl(4,4,16,label=c("Murray","Angela","Shasha","Stephen")) > order <- gl(4,1,16) > treat <- scan() 1: 1 2 4 3 5: 4 3 1 2 9: 3 4 2 1 13: 2 1 3 4 17: Read 16 items > coin <-
