Hi, I'm not sure if this can be done but.. I know that with ifelse() I can do something like: ifelse(x <= 3, 1, 2) to go through each element in my vector x, and if x_i <= 3 substitute the number with 1 else with 2. Essentially I'll get a vector with 2 levels. Can I tweak it so I can get 3-levels? For example: if(x <= 3) then 1 elseif(3 < x <= 4) then 2

I have a tree created with tr.hh.logcas <- rpart(log(YCASSX + 1)~AGE+DRUGUSEY+SEX+OBSXNUM +WINDLE, xval = 10) I would like to label the nodes with YCASSX rather than log(YCASSX + 1). But the help file for text in library rpart says that you can only use labels that are part of x$frame, which YCASSX is not. Is there a way to do what I want? Thanks in advance Peter Peter L.

Hey, R-listers I was recommended to try using smooth.spline function for estimating 2-Dimensinal curve given a data set. So will you please tell me where to get this R function? Or which package provides this function? Thanks for your point. Fred

Hi, If I have: foo <- survfit(y ~ x) where y is a survival object and x is a n-level factor. The documentation says when I plot(foo), the confidence intervals will not be plotted (which I guess is understandable as otherwise the plot will get really messy). I tried to plot with confidence intervals by using: plot(foo, conf.int = TRUE) and indeed the resulting plot is messy. However

Hello! We are a group of three students at Bielefeld University currently working on a statistical projects about neural networks. Within the framework of this project we are supposed to use the nnet-function in R and explain how it works. Since anyone of us has much experience in using R we hoped to find some information on your homepage. Unfortunatelly, we haven't been very successfull so

Hi, I have a column in a dataframe in the form of: > as.vector(SLDATX[1:20]) [1] "1/6/1986" "1/17/1986" "2/2/1986" "2/4/1986" "2/4/1986" [6] "2/21/1986" "3/6/1986" "3/25/1986" "4/6/1986" "4/10/1986" [11] "4/23/1986" "4/30/1986" "5/8/1986"

Hi everybody. I'm a new R user and i've been searching a tool for construction of regression tree... I found function "tree()" written by a certain Mr. Ripley, and seems to be just what i'm looking for, but when i try to use it in R replies me:"Object not found". So I was wandering if I should include one special library or something like that? Thanks a lot, ana

After entering ?library(rpart)?, I tried to plot an existing rpart tree, and got this error message: Error: couldn't find function "plot.rpart". However, ??plot.rpart? does bring up the help for the function. The same things occur for text.rpart, although print(my.tree) does work. So, I tried to re-install rpart using Packages | Install from CRAN, but then I get this

I'm getting this error when I try to run the function MLearn(): Error: could not find function "MLearn" I have the MLInterface tools installed. But when I look for MLearn "??MLearn" but I don't find it. The closest thing I find is the method MLearn_new() under MLInterfaces. I've tried replacing MLearn() with MLearn_new() in my script, but I still get the same

Hallo, can someone please help me. I have a proplem reading a file with more that one rows. e.g I used the function: p<-read.table(file="FILENAME ", header=TRUE,sep=";") and later used the data.Frame() function. It functions when the file has only a row of variables. When I insert the second row I get an error message. How do I do this ===== ===================== Sylvie

Hello helpers I have this problem. When I plot a regression tree, some words are cutted in the figure. There is an attached file tree.ps to see what I'm saying.

Hi, Suppose I have: # Fit a base model d1.ph <- coxph(Surv(start, stop, event)~ ejec + diavol + score + smoking + beta + surg.done, data = data.frame(foo)) summary(update(d1.ph, . ~ . + td1)) summary(update(d1.ph, . ~ . + td2)) As I have many columns in my data frame, foo, called td's. e.g. td1, td2, td3, ....

Hi, I have a function foo(x,y) and a dataframe, DF, comprised of two vectors, x & w, as follows : x w 1 1 1 2 2 1 3 3 1 4 4 1 etc I would like to apply the function foo to each 'pair' within DF e.g foo(1,1), foo(2,1), foo(3,1) etc I have tried >apply(DF,foo) >apply(DF[,],foo) >apply(DF[DF$x,DF$w],foo) However, none of the above worked. Can anyone help ?

Hi, I have a very simple question. If a want to save a whole program (say more than 5 command lines), how can I proceed without each time using the command history (that allow me to recall previously saved command, but which is to long if you want to recall more than 5 command lines), or without saving to a text file and use copy/paste when I open a new R session (but in fact this doesn't

Dear all, I am thinking of writing my own functions in s-plus (or in R). I just know how to work with S-plus / R built-in functions. Therefore, I'm a beginner in S programming. I am looking for some on-line documentation that is well written about "Programming in S language" where control stuctures / loops / vectorization and necessery sequences of S programming are

Hi, I hope I haven't got this wrong, but I don't think one needs Perl installed if they install the "precompiled" packages for Windows right? I'm just wondering if the first sentence in the "R Installation and Administration" can be re-worded a bit so newbies won't get confused.... ---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Mon, 2 Jun 2003 08:56:37 +1200

Dear helper. I am a beginer. I have difficulties to handle axis. I want to draw axis label such that axis has range of [-0.4,0.4] with intervel 0.2 for x and y axis. Some part of range do not have data points. Thus, plot does not show whole range. How can I enforce plot to depict the whole range regardless of existence of data points ? Another problem is that when I depict axis labels, some
