Dear R-helpers, I am looking, quite unsuccesfully, for a number of functions/packages. Firstly, I am interested in a package for partial least squares. I have found that there seemed to exist a package called pls, but which seems not to run any more with modern versions of R. I have not been able to find certain "chemometrics package" I found some people discussing about in this

Dear r-helpers, I have been trying to invoke R from Java in a Windows 2000 computer (unfortunately). All my environment variables seem to be properly set, everything seems to be in order, but I obtaining a Fatal error: unable to open the base package error window. Also, the output of the invoker is Loading RInterpreter library R_HOME: R_HOME=C:/Programas/R RVersion: R_VERSION=1.6.1 whereas

Dear R helpers, It is the first time I have to install R under Linux (Red Hat 9) and as I was setting up the panels, I could not find any png icon to launch the program. Does it exist and I have overlooked it? Can I get it somewhere? Carlos J. Gil Bellosta Sigma Consultores Estad?sticos http://www.consultoresestadisticos.com

Hello all! As beginner I'm struggling for a while with time zones issue and can't find a suitable solution. I would be grateful for any help. Dataset imported from excel has a variable transplant.date which has been recorded with CET time zone. > subDataset$transplant.date [1] "2000-01-01 CET" "2000-01-01 CET" "2000-01-02 CET" "2000-01-02 CET"

Hello, I have a concrete statistical question: I have a sample of an univariate mixture of an unknown number (k) of normal distributions, each time with an unknown mean `m_i' and a standard deviation `k * m_i', where k is known factor constant for all the normal distributions. (The `i' is a subscript.) Is there a function in R that can estimate the number of normal distributions k

When I originally posted my question under ( C-c C-c does not kill data editor), I thought that it was a problem with ESS rather than R. However, I have tried to do the same from a command line R (R 1.8.1 (2003-11-21). on a debian testing i386 machine) and I got the same problem. Specifically I cannot kill the DataEntryWindow by issuing C-c (control c). However, unless I issue the C-c command the

Hello All, I am new to R. I am trying to process this huge data set of matrix containing four columns, say x1, x2, x3, x4 and n number of rows. I want to aggregate the matrix by x1 and perform statistic based on columns x2, x3, x4. I tried aggregate function but it gave me memory allocation error (which I am not surprised), so I ended up performing a for loop based on x1 and

Hello, In doing a series of non-linear estimations of a function which is a sum of a varying number of sinusoids, I would like to "autogenerate" the arguments needed by nls() depending on that number. For example, when there are two sinusoids: > nls( y ~ mu + A1 * cos(2*pi*f1*x - P1) + A2 * cos(2*pi*f2*x - P2), data = some.xy.data, start = list( mu=some.value0,

Hi, is there a way to analyze subpopulations (e.g. women over 50, those who answered "yes" to a particular question) in a survey using Survey package? Other packages (e.g. Stata, SUDAAN) do this with a subpopulation option to identify the subpopulation for which the analysis shoud be done. I did not see this option in the Survey package. Is there another way to do this?

My earlier posting should have said "dotchart", not "barchart". 1)  How does one show confidence-intervals in a "dotchart" and use rownames for labels on the y-axes?  I have looked at "plotCI" in "gregmisc" package . But it does not seem to produce something like a dotchart.  The statistic, error, upper-bound, and lower-bound are in a

Hi, where can I find the most up-to-date Debian packages for R and sources in USA. I will be thankful for the location that I can include in my sources.list. Are their any special recommendations or instructions for building and maintaining R on Debian? A web-link will be helpful. ---anupam. [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

How can I use row.names() as y-labels in Dotplot? How to set horizontal orientation for y-lables in lattice()? Dotplot(stcod1 ~ Cbind(statgh2,statgh2-1.96*segh2,statgh2+1.96*segh2)[og], subset=statgh2[og]>0.1, data=h2inqerrg02st, xlab="G", ylab=row.names(h2inqerrg02st)[og], main="") I have tried doing it with mtext() as well, but there is not enough space besides

Hi R users, 1) How does one show confidence-intervals in a barchart and use rownames for labels on the y-axes? I have looked at "plotCI" in "gregmisc" package . But it does not seem to produce something like a barchart. The statistic, error, upper-bound, and lower-bound are in a dataframe. 2) How to show CI in a barchart either using the statistic and, either (a)

Hi R users, I am trying to use the aggregate function with a survey design object and survey functions, but get the following error. I think I am incorrectly using the syntax somehow, and it may not be possible to access variables directly by name in a survey-design object. Am I right? How do I fix this problem? I have used aggregate with "mean" and "weighted.mean", and

Hello, I've been using R embedded in PL/R (R procedural language handler for PostgreSQL, http://www.joeconway.com/plr/) very successfully for several months now. A sincere "thank you" goes to the R development team for such a great product. I have a question I'm hoping someone here can help me with. In order to get the required functionality out of PL/R, I've had to

Hi R users, I have been trying to install and use RMySQL on Windows98 for MySQL3.23.55-max using the pulldown menu. I am getting the following errors. I read the doc and some archived mails about a similar problem on unix like systems. Still can't get it to work. Some info below that may indicated where the problem is: * The directory RMySQL\libs is empty---I was not expecting this. *

Hi everyone, I wonder if there already exists any R packages containing all the data sets for the book "The Statistical Sleuth" (http://www.proaxis.com/~panorama/home.htm; also available at StatLib http://lib.stat.cmu.edu/datasets/sleuth). I'm writing an R package with a friend for one of our stat courses where SAS is the main tool being used. As the time is limited and half of the

Hi R-helpers Has anyone had any experience doing CGI or Servlets or using an httpd server in R? Context: we are interested in running dynamic demographic calculations on the internet (life tables, and such) in response to form submissions. I might do simple cgi to get started, but loading in data each time seems like it would be quite, quite slow. I have looked at Rserv, but I am most

I am in the process of converting from Matlab to R, but a major sticking point for me at the moment is accessing data via OPeNDAP. After several hours of searching, I found that other people have discussed this functionality in the past, but it does not appear to have yet been developed. One programmer, Luke Miller, has managed a work-around by downloading ascii data from an OPeNDAP site (
