Dear R user, I am running R under Windows 2000. I am looking for a routine for importing - shape files (ESRI) into R - dbase files (FOXPRO) into R and I am looking for time-space models for description and prediction of Bernoulli-, Binomial- and Poissonvaraibles. Thank's a lot for a reply. Sincerely yours, Ekkehardt Altpeter Swiss Federal Office of Public

I put a copy of R 1.8.1 for Windows on our FTP site at: ftp://ftp.odot.state.or.us/outgoing/Test/. It should be there for a few days before it gets deleted.

I am trying to build a R 1.7 package under Windows NT. I created the DESCRIPTION file, the RD file and added the code to the R folder. I also downloaded and installed the Rtools package and have Perl 5.0. I know that Perl, Miktex, and gcc are working. I also have my PATH variable set correctly. I can fake install my package by removing the *.R from the code file, using Rcmd Rdconv to create

I am trying to open an existing binary file, seek to a position in the middle, and then write one byte, while keeping the already existing data after that byte. It seems to me that I am unable to open a connection to a binary file in both read and write mode. I can open the "r+b" binary file connection and seek around, but I can't write to the file. And looking at the function

R Help- I have a list of 102 vectors all of the same type and length called time.by.orig. I can't data.frame(time.by.orig) but I can data.frame(time.by.orig[1:length(time.by.orig)]). Why is this? Thanks for your help. str(time.by.orig) List of 102 $ 1 : num [1:102] 1.34 17.39 14.36 14.22 7.56 ... $ 2 : num [1:102] 17.5 0.7 17.7 12.4 10.4 ... $ 3 : num [1:102] 14.063 17.568

The main limitation of the shapefiles package that I put together is that it does not create shapefiles from R objects - rather it only writes shapefiles that have been read into R and manipulated within the constraints of the existing file structure. By this I mean that for example you can change the coordinates of points and write them back out. Or you can add a bunch of blank columns in the

I just uploaded two packages to CRAN. shapefiles_0.1.tar.gz - functions to read and write ESRI shapefiles (including dbfs) emme2_0.1.tar.gz - functions to read binary data from an EMME/2 databank data (EMME/2 is a transportation modeling program) Please let me know if you find any bugs or have some suggestions. Thanks. Regards, Benjamin Stabler Transportation Planning Analysis Unit Oregon

All, Does anyone know if there is an option I can set to turn screen-buffered output on and off with the win32 rgui? (Apart from the point and click method). I am running some simulations where it is useful to watch output but it gets mildly tiresome having to manually switch things on and off via the gui. Thanks Toby. > version _ platform i386-pc-mingw32 arch

Hi all, I am currently building an application based on R 1.7.1 (+ compiled C/C++ code + MySql + VB). I am building this application to work on 2 different platforms (Windows XP Professional (500mb memory) and Windows NT 4.0 with service pack 6 (1gb memory)). This is a very memory intensive application performing sophisticated operations on "large" matrices (typically 5000x1500

I want to run Rcmd BATCH with R_DEFAULT_PACKAGE=base so it doesn't load any packages, but it seems to reject this argument because it does not start with a '-' or '--'. Is there a different argument that will work? Thanks.

Is there any way that I can see the step by step code for functions in the base package? For instance the dexp function. I am a student working on writing my own function for something that is similar to this dexp function and I would like to see the step by step code.

I understand how R treats NAs but in the situation below it would be nice to have a na.skip argument to paste so it does not convert the NAs to "NA"s and simply skips those elements of the vector for pasting. > x [1] "2.13" "2.3" NA NA "2.83" NA > paste(x, "0", sep="") [1] "2.130" "2.30"

I am familiar with the rpart and tree packages for classification and regression trees. However, quite a bit of the research in the transportation community relating to decision trees uses the C4.5 family of algorithms by Quinlan. Are there any plans to make a C4.5 (or a derivative of it) available to R? If not, then I might use the WEKA Java package ( http://www.cs.waikato.ac.nz/ml/weka) that

i am new to R,so i post here to ask you how to learn R quickly? is there some usefull materials about using R. ps:though the manual is a good materials,but it is not the best for a newbie,i think. thank you !

Hi I have a 3 x 2 contingency table: 10 20 30 40 50 60 I want to update the frequencies to new marginal totals: 100 130 40 80 110 I want to use the ipf (iterative proportional fitting) function which is apparently in the cat package. Can somebody please advice me how to input this data and invoke ipf in R to obtain an updated contingency table? Thanks. By the way I am quite new to R. -- Dr

I am trying to build a simple dll with Rcmd SHLIB to link into R. The results of the build are below. From my limited knowledge of building DLLs, it looks like it worked (I didn't get any errors).

I upgraded to R Gui 1.6 this morning and I can't seem to get it to accept my new startup directory. R 1.51 will accept "F:\_ben\bls\gen1\results\bls\analysis" as the start in directory for the R Gui shortcut, but R 1.6 will not. R 1.6 will accept "F:\_ben\bls\gen1\results\bls". It seems to have trouble when I add "\analysis." R still loads fine but I get the

I have a question about how apply() works for changing data values. I am using it to change NA values to zero, but the question applies to other value changing operations as well. If I have a dataframe "Dat" with columns "a", "b" and "c" and there are some NA values in every column: If I do: Dat$a[is.na(Dat$a)] <- 0 then all the NA values are changed

I am trying to figure out R data types and/or storage mode. For example: > #From a clean workspace > gc() used (Mb) gc trigger (Mb) Ncells 415227 11.1 597831 16 Vcells 103533 0.8 786432 6 > x <- seq(0,100000,1) > is.integer(x) [1] FALSE > is.double(x) [1] TRUE > object.size(x) [1] 800036 > gc() used (Mb) gc trigger (Mb) Ncells 415247

Is there a function to convert character strings to object references. For example, I want to name sets of objects based on scenarios and the types of data being stored. So the scenarios might be something like c("a", "b", "c"), the types of data might have names like c("pass.trp", "trk.trp", "cmute.trp"), and I want to assign data to
