Hi I can't get R to connect to the internet. I am running R 1.7.1 on Windows XP and whenever I try to download packages etc from within R using the internet, it fails. OK so I am behind a firewall and use a proxy server.... SO, if I go to my MS-DOS prompt and type: RGui.exe --internet2 everything works.... BUT i can't set up a shortcut for this as Windows (I hate Windows) complains

Hi, I'm a recent R convert so I haven't quite figured out the details yet... How do I select one variable by another one? Ie if I want to draw the histogram of variable X only for those individuals that also have a value Y in a certain range? In STATA I would give something like: histogram X if ((Y>=A & Y<=B)) (The data is for individuals and each individual has a number of

Hi R lovers 2 questions: 1) I'd like to know how to clean the title, the sub title or the labels of a graph. I know how to redefine it with the function title() but it overwrites the previous title and do not replace it 2) How could I clear a whole plot (for example in a multiple figure environment) thanks for your help vincent

Hi, I was trying to draw an empirical distribution function with uniform confidence bands. So I tried to find a way to calculate values of the Kolmogorov-Smirnov Distribution but failed. I guess it must be hidden somewhere (since the ks-test is implemented), but I was unable to find it. Is there any way to do this? Thanks Leif Boysen

Dear all, Maybe this has something to do with R crashing? When my R version crashes, there is Rgui.exe still running in the background (i.e. W2K's task manager recognises it only as a process, which apparently is using almost 100% of the CPU). I can reproduce that by "using" the SJava package (from Brian Ripley's homepage, as suggested on http://www.omegahat.org/RSJava/).

Hi When I give the command: > heatmap.2(as.matrix(d),Rowv=as.dendrogram(hc.gene),Colv=FALSE,scale="row ",trace="none",col=greenred.colors(79)) The resulting heatmap has re-ordered my columns! This is time-course data, and I don't want my columns re-ordered! Note from the help: Rowv: determines if and how the _row_ dendrogram should be reordered.

Dear list, I would like to study the dynamics of functions using R (instead of mathematica e.g.), i.e. the behavior of points under iteration of a function. So I tried (in vain) writing a function myfunction <- function(f,n,x){...} in order to compute f^{n}(x), f^{n}(x) being the function f composed with itself n-1 times. n is a natural number, and the argument x is the abscissa of the point I

Hi I want to create a vector of colors that are as different from one another as possible. ?rainbow states "Conceptually, all of these functions actually use (parts of) a line cut out of the 3-dimensional color space...". This suggests to me that the resulting colors are all placed on this "line" and are equi-distant along it. The resulting color palette is a range of

Dear everybody! I am analysing data from an enquette. The answers are either A or B. How can I draw a histogram without transforming the data from characters to numbers? If the data are saved in a list M, hist(M[,1]) returns: Error in hist.default(M[, 1]) : `x' must be numeric Execution halted Thank you in advance!

R1.7.0, Win2k: When I use plot( ) on a groupedData object, if I have 165 subjects I'm supposed to be able to use plot(..., layout = c(5,3,11)) to get all 165 on 11 separate sheets. The graphics window is only displaying the first 10. If I use plot(..., layout = c(5,3,12)) I get the appropriate 11 sheets. Furthermore, yesterday I noticed that when using plot( <linear model object> )

Hello, I have a question about using the layout command within a function. I've written function that uses layout to create a figure from 2 plots. This works fine to create a figure. When I use par(mfrow = c(2,2)) to create multiple plots, it seems that the layout command resets the mfrow parmeter. Is there a way for me to avoid this problem? For example practice<- function() {

Hello all, I'm a new member in this list and, also, a new R user and need some information about Resistant Smooth (using medians). The method I need of Resistant Smooth is the 4253H one and I didn't found how to perform that in R. Does anybody have an idea? Thanks, Henrique.

Dear R help, I'm pretty new to R and would be grateful for help. I have 11 data.frames, each with 3 columns of data. Each has the same row.names, however these are not sorted. Please tell me the best way to sort these (by row.names) and secondly the best way to extract data columns from these to form a merged table. Thanks a million Aedin

Dear All, I've been trying to format a plot output using par() with mfrow, fin, mai, etc and basically it's proving to be a pain. I searched on google and found that Paul Murrell had written a grid Graphics program which seems perfect. However, when I try and use say viewport() I just get a function not found error. Can someone tell me what I'm doing wrong please? Thank-you

Dear R Users, I suppose this is a school boy question, but here it is anyway. I'm trying to re-create the residuals for a poisson GLM with simulated data; x<-rpois(1000,5) model<-glm(x~1,poisson) my.resids<-(log(x)- summary(model)$coefficients[1]) plot(my.resids,residuals(model)) This shows that my calculated residuals (my.resids) are not the same as residuals(model). p 65 of

Hi R lovers! I have discovered recently that graph can be exported from R in a Latex compatible file thanks to the pictex command I would like to know if there is the equivalent while exporting datas. Let's say I have a matrix, a data.frame or a list that I would like to export as a flat text file that is immediatly transcripted into a table into latex Is there a macro or package that could

Hi I have two questions, the first perhaps dumber than the second. Firstly, I have a data set, and when I plot a histogram it looks like a normal distribution. So I want to overlay a bell-shaped normal distribution on top of it, to demonstrate how similar it is to the normal distribution. I have read the help on dnorm(), rnorm(), pnorm() etc but still can't figure out how to plot a normal

Undoubtedly a simple question: I've looked at order() and sort() in the help pages for R1.7.1. It doesn't appear that these functions are immediately suited to doing the same thing as PROC SORT DATA = BLAH; BY X Y Z; RUN; in SAS. I have also checked Frank Harrell's Hmisc library. Could someone point me in the right direction so I can sort by the levels of Z within the levels of

Hi, is there a way to plot distribution curves (say normal or chi sq etc) from within R? For example I looked up the *chisq family of functions but I'm not sure as to how I would use them to generate a plot of the chi sq distribution (for arbitrary d.o.f).

Hi, Short Version: Is there a function to re-bin a histogram to new, broader bins? Long version: I'm trying to create a histogram, however my input-data is itself in the form of a fine-grained histogram, i.e. numbers of counts in regular one-second bins. I want to produce a histogram of, say, 10-minute bins (though possibly irregular bins also). I suppose I could re-create a data set as
