Hi all, I'm not sure if this is a feature or a bug (and I did read the FAQ and the posting guide, but am still not sure). Some of my students have been complaining and I thought I just might ask: Let K be a vector of length k. If one types dim(K), you get NULL rather than [1] k. Is this logical? Here's the way I explain it (and maybe someone can provide a more accurate

Hi, I am working on a package which requires separate documentation (tutorial documentation, really, with a lot of beautifully latexed equations), and does not use R-help. I am trying to make it so that my help function will automatically search R-help if the help topic isn't found in my documentation. The function looks something like this: help.pkg <- function(topic) { #

install.packages works for Linux because the directory structure is not version dependent, as it is for the Windows download. That should be fixed as soon as my sys admin consents to install R 1.9.0 so we can do the cross compile. Of course, you are right, Martin and Peter, that Zelig should be on CRAN proper. We just need to write a few .Rd files to be compliant with R check, and change our

Hi, I'm working on a set of demo files for a package, and I'm having a problem because I have two demo files (one called "logit", the other called "blogit") and when I type demo(logit), it gives me demo(blogit) instead. (And calls it the the demo for logit.) I've figured out that this is because the demo() function searches through all the demo directories (in

Hi, I am trying to use boot() to refit an ordinal logit (polr in MASS) model. (A very basic bootstrap which samples from the data frame without replacement and updates the model.) I need to extract two statistics per run (the coefficients and zeta) and I tried concatenating them into a single vector after fitting, but I get the following error: Error in "[<-"(*tmp*, r, ,

Hi, I'm trying to find a way to take evaluate the Normal CDF over an interval and return the result on the log scale. This works, but I think it isn't numerically stable: log(pnorm(a, mean = x, sd = y) - pnorm(b, mean = x, sd = y)) Does anyone know of a single function that does the above? Or knows of a way to make it more stable? I'd really appreciate any suggestions!

I am trying to plot two density lines on the same graph. Using the functions on the base package, I would go: plot(density(x), col = 1) lines(density(y), col = 2) And I get two distinct (one-bump) density lines. When I try to do it using lattice, I get two two-humped lines. (In other words, I think the smoothing function is taking the next set of data points and smoothing them in the same

Is anybody working on a way to standardize the creation of "newdata" objects for predict methods? When using predict, I find it difficult/tedious to create newdata data frames when there are many variables. It is necessary to set all variables at the mean/mode/median, and then for some variables of interest, one has to insert values for which predictions are desired. I was at a

Hello, I'm trying to calculate the Maximum likelihood estimators for a dataset which contains censored data. I started by using the function "nlm", but isn't there a separate method for doing this for e.g. the "weibull" and the "log-normal" distribution? Thanks, Olivia [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Hi there,? I've been battling with an extension of this in my own data: getting appropriate error bars once data is stacked in a bar graph.?

I just installed R-2.3.1pat under Windows XP as well as the associated RWinEdt. If I start RGui from its shortcut (but do _not_ also start RWinEdt) and then try to execute demo() or help(), I get a RWinEdt pop-up error window with message: File "D:\WP\WinEdtData\WinEdt\D:/WP/WinEdtData/WinEdt/R.ini" does not exist! Qualifier -e/-E does not specify an existing file! First

Dear All; I have used Winedt editor in conjunction with R on the Win2K platform for more than a year without any problem. Recently I purchased a P4 machine with Windows XP. Following the installation of R1.62 and WinEdt 5.3 to separate directories, I copied R-WinEdt to the Plugins subdirectory under the Winedt directory, clicked on the "install" file and edited the Rprofile with two

The answer to my question was contained in http://cran.r-project.org/contrib/extra/winedt/ReadMe , although it helped to receive the restatements that were emailed to me. As mentioned by Uwe Ligges, Renuad Lancelot, Niels Waller, my mistake was not starting R before using R-WindEdt. Below I will copy the instructions on using R-WinEdt by Renaud Lancelot (except for the last paragraph which is

Hello: I installed R-WinEdit according to the instructions, including those for setting the editor and pager options. Doesn''t seem to work--when I try to edit a file, I get the following: > > options(editor="\"c:/program files/winedt/winedt\" -c=\"R-WinEdt-edit\" > -e=r.ini -V") > > getOption("editor") >[1]

I'm having difficulty installing RWinEdt in WinEdt6.

Hello Everyone I have just upgraded my PC to Windows 7 (64 bit) and I have installed R 2.12.2. R seems to be working fine. I am having problems getting RWinEdt working with it though. I have tried installing WinEdt 6.0 and WinEdt 5.5. But both fail with the same error using R as 64 bit or 32 bit. I install the package using Administrator rights. > library(RWinEdt) Warning message: In
