similar to: what does this mean in R-1.8.1 release notes?

I would like to create a family of barplots with the same xlimits. Is there a way to "read" the xlimits from the first graph so I can apply it to the subsequent ones? I have tried just taking the min and max of the x data and the plot doesn't show. cheers [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

circ.plot in CircStats under R 1.8.0 yields incorrect plots (easily compare hist() and rose.diag()). However, the code in circ.plot has not changed. Has anyone tracked this down yet?

Hi all, I have a very simple problem that I cannot seem to find the answer to. Consider the following toy dataset: x <- read.table(textConnection("V1 apples bananas cherries indv.1 7 8 4 3 indv.2 7 7 4 9"), header = TRUE) How would I change the column name of ONLY the first column, not the others? Surely I should not have to re-specify the names of ALL the columns -- e.g.,

Hi all, I'm trying to find something like the "==" operator that will work on vectors or something equivalent to SQL's "IN" function. For e.g., if I have: x <- c(1,2,3,4,5) y <- c("apples", "oranges", "grapes", "bananas", "pears") z <- data.frame (x,y) w <- c(2,4,5) I want R to return the values

Hi all, I hope this isn't a naive newbie question again. Here you can see column 264 of a data frame containing data of the same interview in May and September. Column 264 contains the answers of 49 persons to a question in May. > fbhint.spss1[,264] [1] teils/teils sehr wichtig <NA> <NA> sehr wichtig [6] sehr wichtig sehr wichtig sehr wichtig <NA>

R version 1.8.1, OS Windows 98 Dear colleagues, if I import vegetation data (first row with column labels and first column with row labels) like 7MYRGERM;7AGRGIGA;7DRYOCTO;5MYRGERM;7SALELEA;7CHOCHON;7SALNIG?;....... t401;5;2;2;3;4;2;2;2;1;2;1;2;2;1;2;2;2;1;2;1;0;0;...... t403;3;0;0;6;4;0;3;0;0;3;0;0;0;0;3;0;0;0;2;0;2;0;..... with read.table("data.file", header=TRUE,

Dear friends, I'm probably wrong but is there anything better than bootstrap to get a confidence interval of the median from a population with unspecified distribution ? Best wishes Troels Ring, Aalborg, Denmark

df=data.frame(country=c("A","A","A","B","B","B"), food=rep(c("Apples","Pears","Bananas"),2), X2000=c(4,5,6,7,6,8), X2001=c(4,5,6,7,6,8), X2002=c(4,5,6,7,6,8), X2003=c(4,5,6,7,6,8)); I have data in the above form trying to get a plot of each fruit over time year conditioned on country and

How can I best achieve the following (works in Splus): filenames <- dos("dir *.sasb7dat /b") What I am asking, more generically, is: how can I capture the output of a DOS command in R? I have tried using system("COMMAND.COM /c dir /b", intern=T, show.output.on.console=T) where intern: a logical, indicates whether to make the output of the command an R

How does one go about doing a repeated measure regression? The documentation I have on it (Lorch & Myers 1990) says to use linear / (subj x linear) to get your F. However, if I put subject into glm or lm I can't get back a straight error term because it assumes (rightly) that subject is a nominal predictor of some sort. In looking at LME it seems like it just does the right thing

Hi, I just encountered a problem in R that may easily be fixed: If one uses attach for a data.frame e.g. 10000 times and forgets detach, then R gets incredibly slow (less then 10% of the original speed). My system: platform powerpc-apple-darwin6.0 arch powerpc os darwin6.0 system powerpc, darwin6.0 status major 1 minor 6.1 year 2002

Hi I was looking through the help on how to get standardized scores and came across an anomaly. The help.search("zscore") reports there is such a function in R.base. However, when I try to get help on zscore it reports no such function and says that R.base in built for win32. I'm running the Mac OS X version of R with the smorgasboard of packages that are included in that

(If this only happens in Win 98, I'm sure I could live with it. Just may be helpful to report it, I hope.) Start up R GUI, then > plot(1:4,1:4) # then close manually by clicking X > plot(1:4,1:4) # ditto > methods(plot) sometimes produces normal output and even the following prompt, but then crashes immediately, or more often, crashes immediately with no output. I can do any

bug.report() tells me to email to r-bugs@r-project.org, whereas the Web site http://www.r-project.org/ points me to r-bugs@biostat.ku.dk. Which should I believe?

Dear all, I have found the following (for me) incomprehensible behaviour of ISOdate (POSIXct): > ISOdate(1900,6,16) [1] "1900-06-15 14:00:00 Westeurop?ische Sommerzeit" > ISOdate(1950,6,16) [1] "1950-06-16 14:00:00 Westeurop?ische Sommerzeit" Note that in the first case I get the 15th of June back, not the 16th as I would have expected! This happened under R-1.7.1 on

Hi, I have been having a tedious issue with lmer models with lots of factors and lots of levels. In order to get the basic information at the beginning of the print out I also have to generate these enormous tables as well. Is there a method command to leave off all of the effects and correlations? Or, do I have to go to string commands?

I've searched on CRAN for axes, axis, and other terms I've already forgotten, without (re)discovering the reason for S using "non-joining" axes by default, instead of box("l"). MASS points me towards Cleveland (1993) but I don't have ready access to this any more. Could someone give me a one-liner to justify this choice to a sceptic? It's something to do

Hello Anyone that now of any function in R that can calculate copulas? Or if anyone have any code avaible I would be more than interested.

Greetings everyone, I am new at R. My questions is rather basic. Looking R manuals looks like there should be a way to read MS excel files into R. Could somebody tell me which library should I use for that? Thanks in advance Victor H.

Dear R users, I want to share my joy with you. Please see the following excellent introduction to R "Statistiques avec R " by Vincent Zoonekynd http://zoonek2.free.fr/UNIX/48_R/all.html In paticular, you can see a lot of fascinating graphics examples of R from which you can get many hints. Soryy if this is already well-known, but the CRAN search did not show nothing with the keyword
