Hi there fellow R-users, Can anyone tell me if there exits an R package that deals with serial correlation in the residuals of an lm model. Perhaps, using the Cochrane Orcutt or Praise Wilson methods? Thanks, Wayne Dr Wayne R.

Hello there fellow R-users, I am using the RODBC functionality to query a database. I am trying to read in a columns of strings which have a character field lengths greater than 255. The data.frame that I recieve back from the RODBC query only contains the first 255 characters (the rest having been truncated). Any help on how to solve this problem would be greatly appreciated.

Dear all, Is there a test in R for the randomness of a sequence of observations (e.g. to test the random number generator)? Specifically I am looking for autocorrelations which are not necessarily linear in nature, which the acf function does not seem to be flexible enough to detect as it tests for linear autocorrelation. Thanks in advance, Paul.

Hi there fellow R-Users, Can anyone recommend a good book on the theory and practice of applying GARCH models. Also, does any one know of any R related subject material in addition to library(tseries). Regards Wayne Dr Wayne R.

Hi there R-Helpers, Does anyone know if it is possible to sort a dataframe? I.e. Sort alphabetically column 1 ( which has some reocurring elements) then sort alphabetically column2 but keeping the order of column 1 constant; much the same way that the sort function works in Excel.

Hi there fellow R-users, I'm stuck on this seemingly trivial problem. All I want to coerce a character string into a command. For example: x<-rnorm(20) y<-rnorm(20) str<-"lm(y~x)" I want to evaluate the "str" command. I have tried eval(as.expression(str)) But it doesn't seem to work. I am aware of the call command, but for reasons I won't go

Hi there fellow R users, R has many different clustering packages (e.g. mclust,cluster,e1071).

Hi there fellow R-users, Does anyone know if there is a package for k nearest neighbours prediction as opposed to classification? I have found the package knncat but can't see a way to adjust it to predict a continuous variable.

Hi. I hope you can help me... I have fitted the following ARIMA model: arima1<-arima(bigspring$log.volume, order=c(0,1,2)) I need to predict 30 days ahead. I used following code predict(arima1,n.ahead=30,se=T) However I get 30 predictions, but from predictions 2:30 I get the same predictions. Why is this? What am I doing wrong Thanks Catherine KSS Ltd Seventh Floor St
