Hi all, It's me again with compiling questions :) Even though I have libpng and zlib: rpm -q libpng libpng-1.2.2-8 and rpm -q zlib zlib-1.1.4-8.8x my newly-compiled R doesn't support png. > No png support in this version of R Anyone knows why?

Hi, I'm trying to use a similarity matrix (triangular) as input for pam() or fanny() clustering algorithms. The problem is that this algorithms can only accept a dissimilarity matrix, normally generated by daisy(). However, daisy only accept 'data matrix or dataframe. Dissimilarities will be computed between the rows of x'. Is there any way to say to that your data are already a

Hi, Is there any simple solution to get ranks in descending order? Example, a <- c(10, 98, 98, 98, 99, 100) r <- rank(a, ties.method="average") produces 1 3 3 3 5 6 I would want this instead: 6 5 3 3 3 1 Note that reversing r doesn't work but in small examples.

Hi, I was wondering if anyone has had good experiences using R on Linux with dual AMD64 (Opteron) processors. I'm thinking of buying a couple of such servers, but I'd like to make sure R would work fine. The "R Installation and Administration" guide notes that there may be some problems with BLAS libraries. That's all I could find about R on AMD64. Please share your

To Whom it May Concern: I have been using R version 2.6.2 for awhile now, installed on a PowerMac G5 running OS 10.4.11 I typically get Quartz graphics output from R into Adobe Illustrator CS2 simply by copying and pasting. Upon upgrading to R version 2.7.0, I now receive an error from Illustrator when trying to paste R generated graphics from the Quartz window into Illustrator. I do

Hi All, I recently found gmane http://gmane.org/ It's a system to covert mail to news and back, with the nice property of keeping a searchable archive... Very convenient if you are subscribed to many lists and don't want to have your mail box cluttered. I use it to read several mailing lists already, but R is not available there. I wonder if the admins know about gmane and if they

Hi, I am new to R and I need to perform multiple chi-square tests. I manage to perform one at a time, but is there a specific command to do multiple tests? For example, I have a table that looks like this: Marker Treatment Genotype1 Genotype2 Genotype3 1 A 23 57 32 1 B 43 59 12 ... ... n A ## ## ## n

Hi, I need to multiply all columns in a matrix so something like apply(x,2,sum), but using multiplication should do. I have tried apply(x,2,"*") I know this must be trivial, but I get: Error in FUN(newX[, i], ...) : invalid unary operator The help for apply states that unary operators must be quoted. I tried single quotes too, with the same results. Thanks, -Jose -- Jose

Hi, Could someone please let me know how to plot greek letters in italic. text(0,14,expression(italic(rho)[italic(f)])) only plots the f in italic and text(37,40,expression(italic(rho))) doesn't plot rho in italic. I have checked demo(plotmath), ?plotmath, FAQ, and the archives 2004-2006 without finding the answer. I'm using R 2.1.1. and Windows XP. Thanks! Tord -- Tord Sn?ll

Hi, I got the following error. Sorry but this time I couldn't reproduce it with a simple chunk of code: .TM.repl.i.2col(): drop 'matrix' case ... Error in .nextMethod(x = x, i = i, j = j) : 'i' has no integer column number should never happen; please report In addition: Warning messages: 1: Ambiguous method selection for "%*%", target

Hi, Has anyone run any R vs Python (numpy) tests? I'd love to see what the differences performance-wise are, specially handling large sparse matrices. Since both rely on external C code, there might not be much of a difference. If you know and use both languages, what are the main differences and what made you stick to one over another? I also noticed that there are strong libraries

Hi all, I often have to peek at large data. While head and tail are convenient, at times I'd like some more comprehensive. I guess I debug better in a more visual way? I was wondering if there's a way to override the default data editor. I could of course dump to a txt file, and look at it with an editor/spreadsheet, but after doing it a few times, it gets boring. Maybe it's time for

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi, I'm doing some basic operations on large sparse matrices, for example getting a row. it takes close to 30 seconds on a 3Ghz machine, and shots the memory usage up to the sky. I suspect there are dense intermediary steps (which, if true would defeat the purpose of trying to use sparse representaitons). As much as I try understanding the

Hi, I'm finding that readMM() cannot read a file written with writeMM(). Example: library(Matrix) a = Matrix(c(1,0,3,0,0,5), 10, 10) a = as(a, "CsparseMatrix") writeMM(a, "kk.mm") b = readMM("kk.mm") Error in validObject(.Object) : invalid class "dgTMatrix" object: all row indices must be between 0 and nrow-1 Thoughts? Thanks, -Jose -- Jose

Hi, Chm (compiled help) is a microsoft invention. It's the default help system under windows, but not so under linux. I found that (at times) I like better how chm help looks. Since there are chm viewers under linux, using chm help files should be possible. Has anybody tried to set R so it opens chm by default? I'm sure there's some flag or Rprofile var that could get this done.

Hello, I would like to use my own dissimilarity matrix in a PAM clustering with method "pam" (cluster package) instead of a dissimilarity matrix created by daisy. I read data from a file containing the dissimilarity values using "read.csv". This creates a matrix (alternatively: an array or vector) which is not accepted by "pam": A call

(Extremely sorry, disregard previous email as I hit send before pasting the latest version of the example; this one is smaller too) Dear R users, I want to apply a function that takes two vectors as input to all pairs (combinations (nrow(X), 2))of matrix rows in a matrix. I know that ideally, one should avoid loops in R, but after reading the docs for do.call, apply, etc, I still don't know

Hi, I've realized that the scrolling behavior in View() is unlike most other applications. It seems that the minimum scroll size is very large for large objects( i.e., a vector of 1M integers), and it might be that this scroll is proportional to the size of the object. Try this: a = 1:1000000 View(a) Click once on the scroll arrow down. It will move to item 1001. It could be that the scroll

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi, A follow up to my previous post. It'd be good to have syntax highlighting in the html help pages. There is highlight (http://www.andre-simon.de/) which seems to be open source. Since code is delimited in the help file format, it should not be too difficult to run a highlighting program (actually, vim and emacs do this too) recursively and
