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.

Hi there fellow R-users, Can anyone tell me how to build a prediction interval for a gaussian log-link model for the reponse variable?? I can find the standard error of the predictions but I cant seem to find the prediction interval. Is there a way I can calculate the prediction interval from the standard errors?? Here's the example: logX<-rnorm(100)

Hello All, Does anyone out there know a way to decompose time series objects with missing values. A simple "na.omit" will not work since it does not preserve the time differences between succesive observations. Thanks in advance, Wayne Dr Wayne R.

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.

I am having difficulty obtaining the scores from my principal component analysis. I have used this method before and have had no problems. The data set that I am using this time is similar to what I have used in the past. What do I need to do to my dataset in order for me to obtain these scores? R screen says the following message Error in factanal(covmat = pasa.cov, factors = 4) :

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 am trying to follow an example of modelling a serial correlation structure in the textbook "Mixed Effects Model in S and Splus". However, I am getting some very odd results. Here is what I am trying to run: library(nlme) data(Ovary) fm1<-lme(follicles~sin(2*pi*Time)+cos(2*pi*Time),data=Ovary,random=pdDiag(~s in(2*pi*Time))) ### The example is fine up

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

Hello there fellow R-users, I have received some data which comes in the following format: example1<-"200301" The first 4 digits correspond to the year and the remaining 2 digits correspond to the week of the year.
