Dear R listers, When using smooth.spline to interpolate data, results are generally good. However, some cases produce totally unreasonable results. The data are values of pressure, temperature, and salinity from a probe that is lowered into the ocean, and the objective is to interpolate temperature and salinity to specified pressures. While smooth.spline provides excellent values at the

Can someone point me to the appropriate functions for fitting multiple statistical models that are coupled to each other. The data are measurements of salinity s and temperature t at stations id and pressures at p as well as surface elevations h at stations id. The problem is, for any new station, to estimate s at all p, given t at all p and given h. If h is ignored, the for each p, there

The University of Miami's Rosenstiel School of Marine and Atmospheric Sciences (RSMAS) is seeking a research associate to work with hydrographic data. The objective of the project is to develop statistical models for estimating salinity and density from observations of temperature together with knowledge of location and time. Because the relationship between salinity and temperature can be

Hi, On Windows, with last R-devel tarball (r40647) from ftp://ftp.stat.math.ethz.ch/Software/R/R-devel_2007-02-04.tar.gz I get the following build error: E:\biocbld\bbs-2.0-bioc\R\src\gnuwin32> make ... ... ---------- Making package utils ------------ adding build stamp to DESCRIPTION installing NAMESPACE file and metadata installing R files Error in namespaceExport(ns, exports) :

Dear Fellow R Users, I have recently come across a weird problem with help.search: > help.search("tps") Error in rbind(...) : number of columns of matrices must match (see arg 8) > This happens no matter what I search for... Any thoughts ? Thanks, Tolga Please follow the attached hyperlink to an important disclaimer

Dear all, I have a question regarding the .First function. I have included help.start() and several libraries in my .First as: .First <- function() { help.start(browser = "netscape7") library(lattice) library(modreg) library(splines) library(MASS) library(maps)} The libraries maps and splines do not seem to be available when I start R, but I have found if I change the order

Dear R experts, When using R 2.1 under Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 with Mozilla 1.7.6 as browser, help.start() almost works correctly. When I follow one of the search result links everything is fine, but when I go back to follow another link, I find them all inactive. So I have to redo the search. Any suggestions? Thanks, Carlisle Thacker > version _ platform

I'm experiencing a new and annoying phenomenon which seems to consist of an unfortunate interaction between R-1.7.0 and netscape version 7. When I invoke help.start(), a netscape window duly appears with the browser pointed at the file .../R/doc/html/index.html as one would hope and expect. However if I then ask for help on a function, e.g. > help(glm) the help does NOT get displayed

I am exploring the use of loess for oceanographic applications and would like to plot the locations (longitude and latitude) points where the models (salinity~temperature*longitude*latitude,parametric="temperature") are fitted. Chambers and Hastie(1993) explains the locations are nodes of a k-d tree. but I cannot find anything about accessing this information. It would be useful to

Dear R-listers, It seems that predict() behaves differently within panel.xyplot. Am I doing something stupid? Thanks, Carlisle First, without xyplot(): > lmtest <- lm(t~s,data=subset(P100,whichLon100==1 & whichLat100==1)) > lmtest Call: lm(formula = s ~ t, data = subset(P100, whichLon100 == 1 & whichLat100 == 1)) Coefficients: (Intercept) t 33.3307

Dear Rlisters, When trying to indicate which data belong to which of 7 groups, the following plot shows only 5 groups: ss <- trellis.par.get("superpose.symbol") ss$col <- c("red","blue","green","yellow","orange","magenta","cyan") ss$pch <- format(1:7) ss$cex <- 1.2 ss <-

I have a quick question about the browseURL function. When I use the function in a UNIX environment, I have to use two sets of quotations if I have the & symbol in the URL. For Windows I only need to use the first set. For example, on Windows: browseURL("http://search.yahoo.com/search?p=Bioconductor&ei=UTF-8&fr=fp-tab-web-t&n=20&fl=0&x=wrt") will call up the

Hi R-helpers, Does anyone know of a good Tk (or other) script that allows somewhat intuitive viewing of all of the variables (especially complex lists) in a session? I would also like to delete, save to file, and rename them graphically. I would also like a lot of supplemental information like class, atrributes, names, modes, whatever else... Context: I am running simulations

Inspired by the functions that Barry Rawlingson and Dave Forrest posted for searching Rwiki and R-help archive, I've made up a function that does the search on Prof. Baron's site (Thanks to Prof. Baron's help on setting up the query string!): RSiteSearch <- function(string, restrict="Rhelp", format="long", sortby="score",

Hi, I am trying to compile R-2.2.1 on Solaris 2.9 with a 64-bit build. Following the instructions in "R Installation and Adminstration", I changed the following settings in "config.site": CC="gcc -m64" F77="g77 -64" CXX="g++ -m64" LDFLAGS="-L/usr/local/lib/sparcv9 -L/usr/local/lib" But I got the following error messages:

R 1.8.0 on Windows XP Professional. A huge THANK YOU to the R Team for this marvelous software. I am making lattice plots of oceanographic data. The usual layout does not conform to plotting conventions that marine scientists use when depth is the independent variable. Under those conventions, plots are made with the origin at the upper left, depth on the vertical axis (increasing as it

I saw that in rgl:::writeWebGL that "Polygons will only be rendered as filled; there is no support in WebGL for wireframe or point rendering.". I found that you can easily use contour3d to make reproducible contour web figures, such as (taken from contour3d help) library(AnalyzeFMRI) a <- f.read.analyze.volume(system.file("example.img", package=

R-2.0.0, WinNT / WinXP: options(chmhelp=TRUE) ?dnorm # does not work! ?Normal # works! Looks like calling compiled html help does not work for aliases, but only for the title of help pages... And a quick fix without changing the design is to change lines 136-137 in .../src/library/utils/R/help.R as follows: - err <- .C("Rchtml", hlpfile, topic, - err =
