I am attempting to develop a multiple regression model using selected model variables that should all be treated as numeric (mostly real) values. However, R considers one specific variable "mass" automatically to be of class "factor", probably because "mass" consists of integer values that are repeated. I now want to force R to treat "mass" as a numeric

I have defined a function to compute the value of a beta distribution of the second kind (the existing beta distribution of th stats package is the beta distribution of the first kind). It works perfectly for a single value, but I want to apply it to a vector of 22 000 values. I can use a loop for the calculation of each value but it runs very very slowly. So, what can I change ? Hers's the

Hi I am struggling to fit a non-linear trend using the likfit function in geoR. Specifically I want a sigmoidal function, something like SSfpl in the nls package to fit the trend. But it seems trend.spatial in geoR only works with lm or glm type models. Any ideas how I can specify the model to calculate the kriging parameters using REML, including the parameters of a sigmoidal trend function

I've enconuntered this problem with the last cran version of geoR: > library(geoR) > day <- rep(1:2, each=5) > coords <- matrix(rep(runif(10),2), 10, 2) > data <- rnorm(10) > data[1] <- NA > as.geodata(cbind(coords, data, day), realisations=4) as.geodata: 1 points removed due to NA in the data Errore in as.geodata(cbind(coords, data, day), realisations = 4) :

Dear R list, I've just installed R and then followed the instructions to install the package "geoR" from within R by using the following line of code: install.packages("geoR", contriburl = "http://www.est.ufpr.br/geoR/windows") This installed okay under the folder C:\documents and settings\ ... But when I follow the instructions in the illustrative session

In an email to the help list John Chambers wrote about the function helpSilent which is in the methods package, pointing out that there is no restrictive reason to be in this package. I did not know about this function and just incorporate it in several functions of the geoR package where a much less elegant solution was being used. I guess other packages could use it as well. Therefore,

hello, Suppose in Rnw file, I compute a numeric of name x containing the value 1. In my tex file, I want to write Let x= "the real value of x" so that I can see in my dvi file : Let x = 1, with 1, the actual value of x written in a math environnement for example. Thanks, Matthieu

R Experts, I'm looking for some help with the geoR package. I'm trying to krig some data without using a global neighborhood. I would like to set my moving neighborhood to a distance, say 100 meters, where I know my data is spatially correlated. I have tried the ksline function, but that only allows my moving neighborhood to be set to a number of data points. But, since my data

Dear R users, The parameters xaxs and yaxs (function par, package graphics) seem not to work with the function hist (package graphics), even when the parameters xlim and ylim are defined. Is there any way to make yaxs="i" and xaxs="i" work properly with the function hist, mainly to produce histograms that "touch" the horizontal axis? The R documentation and the R

Mac OS 10.3.5, R 2.0.0 latest version of geoR I have an incomplete 5 x 20 spatial array of samples (60 out of 100 possible locations) for which I would like to calculate directional variograms using variog4(). Unfortunately, I can't get it to return all 4 directions. It returns variograms for 45, 90, and 135 degrees, omitting 0 degrees (pi/4, pi/2, 3pi/4, omitting 0). If I specify 0

Hi, I want to insert a small figure into a bigger plot. I saw people are doing this all the time, but I just could not figure out how to do it in R. Thanks for your help! Jinfeng Zhang

Hi all! Does anyone knows if it exists a "symbolic math" package in R, that allows to compute derivatives, integrals, etc.? Does exist a freeware version of Maple? Cheers, Marco [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

ComRades: I am geeting the error message Error in ldots[[which(MET)]] : attempt to select less than one element when I try to fit the geostatistical model with the likfit() function of geoR. I have tried with old data for which likfit() successfully maximised the likelihood in previous versions of geoR, and yet the current version fails. I have tried in Windows Vista and Windows XP (I haven't

Hi, I'm using the function krige.conv from package geoR but I'm getting a warning that I do not understand: Warning messages: 1: NaNs produced in: sqrt(variance) 2: NaNs produced in: sqrt(variance) I'm performimg an ordinary kriging with a log transform (lambda=0). Does anyone knows where this comes from ? Thanks and regards EJ

Dear GeoR-er, If I use the variog function in the latest release of geoR, the first lag is always ignored. For instance, if you read in geodata, calculates the variogram using the variog function and give in a uvec like uvec=seq(0,max,by=2.44), it only starts giving results from distance=4.88 and ignores 2.44! This wasn't the case in former versions of geoR. Is this done on purpose? Why?

Friends: 1. Is it possible to import data from excel and/or access to R? How? 2. Is it possible to import data from a txt file? How? Thanks in advance, Ricardo. [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Dear R users, I have R 1.8.0. and, when I try to load the package "multcomp", I have an error message saying that this package was developed under R 1.8.1. So my question is "How to update R" ? Should I uninstall my version of R to install the new one or is there a simpler way to update it ? Than you for your answer. Sincerely, Renaud.

Dear all, When a conventional kriging and then a contour plot is limited with a polygon (as possible with krige.conv and contour.kriging), the polygon border is displayed in black by default. > kc<-krige.conv(CZdata,loc=pred.grid,borders=czpoly,krige=krige.control(obj.m=ls)) > plot(CZcoord,xlab="x",ylab="y",type="n",asp=1) >
