Dear R People: Here is an interesting question(I think) Suppose I want to calculate Centered Moving Averages; i.e. x[1] <- ( sum(y[1:12]) )/12 x[2] <- ( sum(y[2:13]) )/12 and so on. Of course, this is easily done through loops. However, I have been trying to do this more elegantly, but have failed. I have tried things like j1 <- 1:109 j2 <- 12:120 x[1:109] <- ( sum( y[j1:j2])

Dear R People: I have the source for R version 1.1.1 on a UNIX system alpha-dec-osf4. The ./configure works fine. When I do the make, it works fine until it tries to build the package tcklc. I get an error of Tk_Saf_Init not identified Then it kicks out. Any suggestions, please? Thanks! Sincerely, Erin M.

Dear R People: Is there a package for arima modeling of multiple time series, please? I think that Dr. Paul Gilbert may have one, but I'm drawing a blank on the package name.

Dear R People: I am drawing graphs for a College Algebra class. I would like to have the x and y axes, along with the lines that I am plotting. So I leave off the axes, and use xlim and ylim. Then I add my abline(v=0). However, I would like to have tick marks on the abline. How would I do that, please? Thanks in advance! Sincerely, Erin M. Hodgess, Ph.D. Associate Professor Department of

Dear R people is there a module for quality control, please? X bar charts, and such? perhaps a contributed package? Thanks in advance!

Dear R People: Here is a very simple question, please: I have a data frame with the state name, state division, and population. Note: state division is something like Atlantic, Mountain, etc. I want to produce a table with the state division and the total of the populations for the states within that division. I've been messing with "table" but so far, no luck. This is R1.3.1,

Hello, Although your message is not very explicit about the structure of your data frame, I think you can get what you want by using a combination of the function "split" and the "apply" functions family: apply, lapply and sapply. If you provide a more detailed organization of your data frame, perhaps we can give to you a more wiser advice. Thanks, Carlos. P.S: By the way,

Hello, R People: How do I change the size of a graph, please? I tried par(cin=c(8.5,11)) and it said that Warning message: parameter "cin" can't be set in: par(args) > par(fin=c(8.5,11)) > plot(xa,ya) Error in plot.new() : Figure region too large Also, can I set for portrait or landscape, please? Thanks in advance! Erin M. Hodgess, Ph.D. Associate Professor Department

Dear R People: I'm trying to use the predict command on an arima0 object. I do the following: xm.arma <- arima0(xm2,order=c(1,0,1)) predict(xm.arma,n.ahead=2) and I get the message: Error in round(x, digits) : Non-numeric argument to mathematical function Any ideas what the problem might be, please? R version 1 4 1 on Windows. Thanks in advance! Sincerely, Erin Hodgess Associate

Dear R People: Do any of the linear model or regression function calculate the Durbin-Watson test statistic for serial correlation, please? I found the hat matrix, studentized residuals, and so on, but no D-W. Thanks so much! Sincerely, Erin M.

Hello R People: Suppose I create a function, x.e, via the fix command: > x.e <- fix(x.e) When I type in x.e, the function code appears, along with the name/number of the environment. However, if I create a function, y.e, and source it in, when I type in y.e, the function code only displays(no environment). Why is this, please? (It's not a bug....I just wondered). I am using

Dear R People: Does anyone have any code for Fractals, chaos, or anything like that, please? This is strictly for demo purposes...decorative only. This is R version 1.5.1 for Windows.

Dear R People: I have a question about a "sorting" problem, please. I have a vector xx: > xx [1] -2.0 1.4 -1.2 -2.2 0.4 1.5 -2.2 0.2 -0.4 -0.9 and a vector of breaks: > xx.y [1] -2.2000000 -0.9666667 0.2666667 1.5000000 I want to produce another vector z which contains the number of the class that each data point is in. for instance, xx[1] is between xx.y[1] and

Dear R People: I have a data frame, xm1, which has 12 rows and 4 columns. If I put is xm1[,-4], I get all rows, and columns 1 - 3, which is as it should be. Now, is there a way to use the names of the columns to omit them, please? Thanks so much in advance!

Dear R People: Here is a non-R probability question, please: There is a problem, originally posed from an American game show, called "Let's Make a Deal." A contestant makes a selection of one door, from Doors 1 through 3. He or she knows that there are 2 goats and 1 car behind those doors. Once the contestant makes the selection, say Door 2, then the host, Monty Hall, tells him
