similar to: Spedd: R vs S-plus

I have been trying to determine the size of the R user base, and was asked to share my findings with this mailing list. Although I still don't have any definite estimate of this number, I do have some interesting and indicative information: 1. It appears that there are about 100,000 S-PLUS users. Rationale: According to Insightful's 2002 Annual Report, over 100,000 people use

Greetings, I'm posting this OT query here because of out very international membership! In the French sentence "Les taux de tirage sont calcul??s de mani??re ?? ce que la dispersion soit inf??rieure ?? 5 % dans chaque strate." it would seem intended that the "dispersion" is to be calculated in a specific way (unstated) -- otherwise, how to ensure that it shall be

Hi Folks, I'm currently looking at missing data/imputation methods (including multiple imputation). S-Plus has a "missing data library". What similar resources are available within R? Or does one roll one's own? Best wishes to all, Ted. -------------------------------------------------------------------- E-Mail: (Ted Harding) <Ted.Harding at nessie.mcc.ac.uk>

Hello List, I've done some cursory searching but (so far) have struck out. Does anyone know if the R version of the S+ FinMetrics package is available? Best, Bill Vedder

Dear all, (Sorry if the question has already been answered.) Could someone please suggest a good text editor for writing R sources ? (I know emacs exists ... but I find it a bit heavy). I use crimson (http://www.crimsoneditor.com) which is small and simple, but the R syntax seems not to be supported. Thanks for any advice

Greetings folks, Shafer's S-plus package "norm" for multiple imputation of missing values in multivariate normal data has been most kindly and usefully ported to R by Alvaro A. Novo. Shafer's website http://www.stat.psu.edu/~jls/ lists four S-plus packages in all: NORM - multiple imputation of multivariate continuous data CAT - multiple imputation of multivariate

Can someone clarify what I cannot make out from the documentation? The function 'clogit' in the 'survival' package is described as performing a "conditional logistic regression". Its return value is stated to be "an object of class clogit which is a wrapper for a coxph object." This suggests that its usefulness is confined to the sort of data which arise in

Hi Folks, I see that people have been discussing the win.metafile device on the list since before 2000. Yet I have never seen this on a Linux distribution of R. Is this because the device works by making calls (GPL calls of course!) to a proprietary Windows library? In that case I can understand that it would be far from kosher to implement it on Linux. But I'd like confirmation. I must

Hello, Following a discussion initiated on r-devel, that mentions SciViews-R and other GUIs issues for R, I would like to make comments (and would be happy if these comments would initiate interesting initiatives). A big, big problem with SciViews-R is that a part of it is written in Visual Basic 6, a M$$$$ language, not supported any more, buggy, non transposable to other platforms, etc,

Hi all, there is a vector v with several NAs. I want to create a new vector n of the same length as v and the same NAs as in v and tried this: n <- vector(length=length(v), mode="numeric") replace(n, which(is.na(v)), NA) but this does't work, all values in n are 0. What went wrong? Thanks, Sven -.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-

I do not understand what happens here (under Win XP): a <- abs(matrix(rnorm(800*800)/2, ncol=800, nrow=800)) system.time(b <- a^1000)[3] took about 1 sec on my computer with R 1.7.0 and it takes now 4.59 sec with R 1.7.1 Similarly, phi <- 1.6180339887498949 a <- floor(runif(750000)*1000) system.time(b <- (phi^a - (-phi)^(-a))/sqrt(5))[3] took about 0.9 sec with R 1.7.0, and it

Hi all, I have looked around for help on creating GUIs for R, but haven't found anything. I would be interested in any advice or webpages that have information on the best language, tutorials etc. for creating simple GUIs. Mainly I want to do this as a heuristic exercise. Thanks for any help. Wade Wall [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Hi all: Newbies (and others!) may find useful the R Reference Card made available by Tom Short of EPRI Solutions at http://www.rpad.org/Rpad/Rpad-refcard.pdf or through the "Contributed" link on CRAN (where some other reference cards are also linked). It categorizes and organizes a bunch of R's basic, most used functions so that they can be easily found. For example,

Dear all! I'd like to do multiple imputation of missing values with s-plus libraries that are provided by Shafer (http://www.stat.psu.edu/~jls/misoftwa.html). I wonder, whether these libraries are compatible or somehow convertible to R (because I don't have S-plus), so that I can use this functions using the R Program. I would be happy if you could tell me, -if it is possible to use

Dear R users, I successfully installed SciViews the other day. However, when I try to run it now, the command/script window does not appear. Strange. Well, actually I see a tendency to a script window (in the lower part of the sciview window where it is suppose to be) during start up, but when the program is entirely open, the script window is gone. I have tried to uninstall and reinstall

Bonjour, J'ai t?l?charg? SciViews Insider que je trouve tr?s convivial. Par contre, je n'arrive pas ? comprendre comment enregistrer un script R en type de fichier R justement. Mes programmes fonctionnent tr?s bien, mais SciViews me propose uniquement de les enregistrer au format txt sous un type de fichier "bloc notes". Comment les enregistrer avec l'extension .R comme le
