How do you install a package from CRAN ? I want to install pls.pcr, so I have downloaded pls.pcr_0.1.1.tar.gz but when I try to install it using the install package(s) from local zip file(s) option it says : > install.packages(choose.files('',filters=Filters[c('zip','All'),]), .libPaths()[1], CRAN = NULL) Error in file(file, "r") : unable to open connection

Hello, can anyome tell me how to access the full script of the panel.smooth function so that I can change the thickness of the smoothing line or its colour ? All I could access is : > panel.smooth function (x, y, col = par("col"), bg = NA, pch = par("pch"), cex = 1, col.smooth = "red", span = 2/3, iter = 3, ...) { points(x, y, pch = pch, col = col, bg =

Does anybody know how to make pairs graphics with dots of different colours depending on the value of a categorical variable ?

Hello everyone, Does anyone know how to implement the argument "unit" in R's plclust function ? I used to use Splus where this argument exists but it has not been implemented in R's plclust. The reason why I switched from Splus to R is that Ward's method is not implemented for S's hclust whereas it is implemented for R's hclust. What I would need is S's plclust

Dear R-helpers, I have performed a PLS regression with the mvr function from the pls.pcr package an I have 2 questions : 1- do you know if mvr automatically centers the data ? It seems to me that it does so... 2- why in the situation below does the output say that the optimal number of latent variables is 4 ? In my humble opinion, it is 2 because the RMS increases and the R2 decreases when 3 LVs

Dear R-helpers, Has anybody ever tried to compare pls regression outputs from the pls.pcr R-package developped by Wehrens with outputs from the Unscrambler software developped by CAMO company ? I find very different outputs and wonder if this comes from differences between methods/algorithms SIMPLS (pls.pcr) and PLS1 (Unscrambler).

Dear all, I was looking for methods in R that allow assessing the number of significant principal coordinates. Unfortunatly I was not very successful. I expanded my search to the web and Current Contents, however, the information I found is very limited. Therefore, I tried to write code for doing a randomization. I would highly appriciate if somebody could comment on the following approach.

Hi, I am working with a species-by-trait .csv file (columns=traits, rows=species) and get the following warning message when trying to plot results of both metaMDS and pcoa:  "Warning message: In ordiplot(x, choices = choices, type = type, display = display,  :   Species scores not available" I am using a Gower's transformation in both procedures within the metaMDS or pcoa

Hello R user and helper! I would like to get a 3d plot with coloured points. I did that: colors<-c(rep("2",7), rep("3",12), rep("4", 24), rep("5", 13), rep ("6", 8), rep("7", 51), rep("8", 1), rep("9", 15), rep("10", 53), rep ("11",3), rep("12",3), rep("13", 8),

Hi, I need to run a PCoA (PCO) for a data set wich has both positive and negative values for variables. I  could not find any distancecoefficient other than euclidean distace running for the data set. Are there any other coefficient works with negtive values.Also I cannot get summary out put (the eigen values) for PCO as for PCA.   Thanks. Dilshan [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Dera R helpers, I have a (x,y,z) data file where x and y are spatial coordinates and z a variable. I have some missing values in the z column and I would like to replace them with an optimized estimation from the neighbour cells. I could not find any function in R to do that. Is anybody aware of such function ? Maybe someone knows how to implement the Papadakis method in R... Thanks for your

I think it is an easy question but i haven´t found a solution since I am r beginner. I did this plot3d(PCoA, type="p", col=rainbow(1000),size=5) text3d(PCoA, text=Nam) How can I save it including the labels to a jpg-file? Thanks in advance.

Dear All, I am struggling with the following problem: I am given a NxN symmetric matrix P ( P[i,i]=0, i=1...N and P[i,j]>0 for i!=j) which stands for the relative distances of N points. I would like use it to get the coordinates of the N points in a 2D plane. Of course, the solution is not unique (given one solution, I can translate or rotate all the points by the same amount and generate

Hi, everyone, I am a new user of R. Recently, I tried the following commands, but couldn't make them work. If any one of you has some ideas about it, please help me. The commands are >std<-1000 >mean<-8000 >prior<-function(n){1/(sqrt(2*pi)*std)*exp(-1.0*(n-mean)^2/(2*std^2))} >plot(prior,1,15000) >post<-function(n){ + if(n < 9543) + 0 + else + prior(n)/n +

Dear All, It's Eszter from Hungary, a total beginner with R. My problem is the following: I have a dataset with binary values as a comma separated textfile. The samples are in the coloumns and the species are in the rows. I have to transpose it for the further PCoA analysis. There is no problem with reading the dataset. When I transpose the dataset, the original values become

Hello everyone, I mail you because of my lake of knowlegde regarding statistics. I'm using the CA and PCoA (but maybe should I use some other techniques) to determine the differences and similarities between a large sample of plants using different kind of traits through matrix of mixte variables. I understood that the daisy() function using the gower metric and defining the different type

Dear r-helpers, Prior to analysis of variance, I ran the Boxcox function (MASS library) to find the best power transformation of my data. However, reading the Boxcox help file, I cannot figure out if this function (through its associated log-likelihood function) corrects for * normality only * or if it also induces * homogeneity of variances *. I found in Biometry (Sokal and Rohlf, p. 419)

Dear List: I have a question regarding an MDS procedure that I am accustomed to using. I have searched around the archives a bit and the help doc and still need a little assistance. The package isoMDS is what I need to perform the non-metric scaling, but I am working with similarity matrices, not dissimilarities. The question may end up being resolved simply. Here is a bit of substantive

Hello, We are trying to find a function to compute "stress" in our multidimensional scaling analysis of a dissimilarity matrix. We've used "dist()" to create the matrix and "cmdscale()" for the scaling. In order to determine the number of dimensions we would like to plot stress vs. dimensions. However, we cannot find a pre-made command. It seems that other

Sorry to bother you kind folks again with my questions. I am trying to learn as much as I can about all this, and I will admit that I don't have the proper background, but I hope that someone can at least point me in the correct direction. I have created a test matrix for what I want to do: s1 s2 s3 s4 s5 s1 10 5 0 8 7 s2 5 10 0 0 5 s3 0 0 10 0 0 s4 8 0 0 10 0 s5 7
