Dear List Members, I'm presently carrying out morphological analysis of a data set of neuronal structures. These are essentially 3D binary trees. In due course I will be trying to use discriminant analysis or other methods to classify these neurons based on morphological variables such as total tree length, segment number etc. I would like to calculate a 3D convex hull for a set of X,Y,Z

Dear R Users, This is only partly an R question, but I would be very grateful if anyone could offer some suggestions for approaches or packages I could use in R. I have 11 sets of points in 3D (synapses in a region of a fly's brain for 11 different kinds of neurons as it happens); each set has between 80-250 points distributed in an irregularly shaped cloud. I would like to calculate a) a

Hello, A hopefully simple question. I use 'R' through emacs, but I suspect the following would occur with any manner of text editor: - my editor has a normally quite handy feature where it will automatically indent to the appropriate level when I start a new line. However, this occasionally creates cases where there is no friendly way to break a long line of code into

Does anyone know of a R package that will determine the convex hull of a high-dimensional dataset (say 4-10 dimensions). I know chull works for 2D data. I'm neophyte to R and convex hulls so please keep it simple. Many thanks Ben -- Ben Stapley. Biomolecular Sciences, UMIST, PO Box 88, Manchester M60 1QD. Tel 0161 200 5818 Fax 0161 236 0409

Hello Laurent, Ray and Greg, I tried the gmake settings. Yet, I still got an Error code 1 message when I run the test. running regression tests don't know how to make ../library/base/R/base (bu42). *** Error code 1 (bu21) Thanks you if you have any idea.

Dear R contributors, I recently dowloaded the R-1.3.1 on my SGi Origin 200 run by Irix6.5. In order to instal it, I launched the command shown below: env MAKE=gmake ./configure The output was as follow:: R is now configured for mips-sgi-irix6.5 Source directory: . Installation directory: /usr/local C compiler: cc -OPT:IEEE_NaN_inf=ON -g C++ compiler:

Dear Dr Hornik / R help list, I am using the mda package and in particular the fda routine to classify a set of 162 neurons falling in to 11 neuronal cell types according to 17 morphological variables. I would like to use a cross-validation approach in which I split the data, train with one part amd then test the predictive accuracy of the discriminant functions with the remaining part. However

Dear Colleagues, I would like to provide a CITATION file for my package nat.nblast [1]. I have the correct citation in BibTeX format [2]. How can I convert this BibTeX to the format needed by R for a package CITATION file (I have a lot of other packages needing citations ...). I think what I need is the opposite of RefManageR::toBiblatex [3]. This seems like it should be a common need, so I

Hello, Does anyone know of an R package that can read Windows BMP format images? Many thanks, Greg Jefferis. -- Gregory Jefferis, PhD Division of Neurobiology MRC Laboratory of Molecular Biology, Hills Road, Cambridge, CB2 0QH, UK. http://www2.mrc-lmb.cam.ac.uk/group-leaders/h-to-m/g-jefferis

If I have a list I can set a sub-element as follows on the command line: people=list() people$tom$hair="brown" people But what if I have a string containing the name of the sub-element that I want to access? subel= "people$tom$hair" get(subel) # returns error assign(subel,"red") # silent but doesn't change list people The attempts above using assign/get

Dear R Users, I want to test the dimensions of an incoming vector, matrix or array safely and succinctly. Specifically I want to check if the unknown object has exactly 2 dimensions with a specified number of rows and columns. I thought that the following would work: > obj=matrix(1,nrow=3,ncol=5) > identical( dim( obj) , c(3,5) ) [1] FALSE But it doesn't because c(3,5) is numeric

Dear R-devel, Can anyone help me to understand this? It seems that subscripting the rows of a data.frame without actually changing their order, somehow changes an internal representation of row.names that is revealed by e.g. dput/dump/serialize I have read the docs and inspected the (R) code for data.frame, rownames, row.names and dput without enlightenment. df=data.frame(a=1:10, b=1)

Dear R users, I would like to reverse the axes on some xy plots (for example to set the origin at the top left rather than the bottom left). I had planned to use something of the following form: plot(y=y<-c(20,4,5,6),x=x<-c(10,20,30,40),ylim=rev(range(y))) ie reversing ylim to reverse the y axis. This works fine however I also want to use the parameter asp=1 to ensure that equal

Hello All, I have a list of dataframes, and I need to subset it by keeping only those dataframes in the list that meet a certain criterion. Specifically, I need to generate a second list which only includes those dataframes whose number of rows is > 1. Could someone suggest how to do this? I have come close to what I need with loops and such, but there must be a less clumsy way... Many

Hello, I have a binary file type that includes a zlib compressed data block (ie not gzip). Is anyone aware of a way using base R or a CRAN package to decompress this kind of data (from disk or memory). So far I have found Rcompression::decompress on omegahat, but I would prefer to keep dependencies on CRAN (or bioconductor). I am also trying to avoid writing yet another C level interface to

Hello, everyone I have a piece of code that looks like this: mrets <- merge(mrets, BMM.SR=apply(mrets, 1, MyFunc, ret="BMM.AV120", stdev="BMM.SD120")) mrets <- merge(mrets, GM1.SR=apply(mrets, 1, MyFunc, ret="GM1.AV120", stdev="GM1.SD120")) mrets <- merge(mrets, IYC.SR=apply(mrets, 1, MyFunc, ret="IYC.AV120",

Dear all, I'm having a problem with debugger() in both R 2.8.0 and R 2.12.0. Probably also versions in-between. I don't see it logged in the bug database, but it's hard for me to imagine that no-one else has encountered it. So my question is whether it's a known problem with a workaround, or do I log it as a new problem? The situation is that if I use

I may be doing this wrong! but I have a function which I have simplified a lot below. I want to pass some 'field names' of a data-frame to the function for it to then do some manipulation of. Here's my code: #build a simple dataset mydataset = data.frame (

Can someone help me with this simple example? sq <- function() { y <- x^2 y } myfunc <- function() { x <- 10 sq() } myfunc() executing the above in R yields: > myfunc() Error in sq() : Object "x" not found I understand that R's scoping rules cause it to look for "x" in the environment in which "sq" was defined (the global environment in
