similar to: packaging standards for rda files?

can you recommend a good manual for R that starts with a data set and gives demonstrations on what can be done using R? I downloadedR Langauage definition and An introduction to R but haven't found them overly useful. I'd really like to be able to follow some tutorials using a dataset or many datasets. The datasets I have available on R are Data sets in package 'datasets':

Hi, I tried to do a multiple linear model from the example dataset Formaldehyde. However, the function lm() did not estimate the coefficient of the term carb^2. The same problem occurred with the (nlme)dataset Pixel with both function lme() and lm(). I am using the windows version of R 1.5.1 Lauri Mehtatalo The Formaldehyde example: > data(Formaldehyde) >

I have been tinkering with mosaicplot() and friends as a way of learning R. As part of this, I've written a pair.table() method for mosaic matrices, and would like to extend mosaicplot to work with loglin and logln (MASS) objects. I'm using R 1.4.0 on Win 98. I've been trying to figure out the formula interface, and think there's a bug, but not sure how to find it, yet alone fix

Reading "R Internals" made me believe that R_UnboundValue was a placeholder that would be skipped over in variable lookup. viz. the section of R Internals "Hash tables" says "items are not actually deleted but have their value set to R_UnboundValue.", which seems to align with what I read in envir.c. So, I reasoned, if I have a function that returns R_UnboundValue,

I would like to create a method for the generic function "with" applied to a class of fitted models. The method should do two things: 1. Substitute the name of the first argument for '.' throughout the expression 2. Evaluate the modified expression using the data argument to the fitted model as the first element of the search list. The second part is relatively easy. The

I'm trying to find a way to change the font size in a mosaic plot (the grid version, not the base graphics one). Here's an example to demonstrate: #Basic plot library(vcd) mosaic(HairEyeColor, shade = TRUE) #Bad first guess: this stops the default cell colouring, and doesn't change the font size mosaic(HairEyeColor, shade = TRUE, gp=gpar(fontsize=16)) #This successfully changes

I am using R to teach, and here are a couple of things that I thought would work didn't work. 1. I noticed the utility data(***,package=***) recently and like it very much, but unless I type in the whole word "package" I'll get an error in 1.4.0. For example, data(cats,package=MASS) works fine but data(cats,pac=MASS) doesn't. 2. drop1 doesn't seem to be as smart as

Hello, please see below my code for a heatmap. Unfortunately my column names do not completely appear. Can you please send me the appropriate code to visualise them? Many Thanks! Nils library(GMD) dat<-data.frame(EntryA=as.numeric(c(4.24,3,1.66,1.28,1.2,-1.32,-1.88)), EntryB=as.numeric(c(4.16,4.82,-1.82,-3.02,0.99,1.1,-3.31)))

Hi all. Sorry for posting again such a topic but I went through previous posts but couldn't find a solution. I use the following code to fit an exponential model to my data. I have 4 different datasets. For 3 datasets nls seems to work fine and I have no error messages. But for 1 dataset I am getting the "world known" singular gradient error. xfit.dNEE <-

Full_Name: Reginaldo Constantino Version: 2.8.0 OS: Ubuntu Hardy (32 bit, kernel 2.6.24) Submission from: (NULL) (189.61.88.2) For many tables, chisq.test with simulate.p.value=TRUE gives a p value that is obviously incorrect and inversely proportional to the number of replicates: > data(HairEyeColor) > x <- margin.table(HairEyeColor, c(1, 2)) >

Dear R-helpers, Suppose I have dataset like this below: data(HairEyeColor) dfHEC <- as.data.frame(as.table(HairEyeColor)) my.dfHEC <- data.frame(Hair=rep(dfHEC$Hair,dfHEC$Freq), Eye=rep(dfHEC$Eye,dfHEC$Freq), Sex=rep(dfHEC$Sex,dfHEC$Freq)) my.dfHEC my.dfHEC$Hair my.dfHEC$Eye my.dfHEC$Sex and I know all levels for Hair, Eye and Sex. In my case, I

My question is based on an example provided in the following: Referencing: Statistics with R Vincent Zoonekynd <zoonek at math.jussieu.fr> 6th January 2007 URL: http://zoonek2.free.fr/UNIX/48_R/all.html data(HairEyeColor) a <- as.table( apply(HairEyeColor, c(1,2), sum) ) # Provided Example barplot(a, beside = TRUE, legend.text = attr(a, "dimnames")$Hair) # I

I'm looking for a way to generalize the calculation of (log) odds ratios for 2 x 2 x {strata} frequency tables in vcd::oddsratio() to R x C x {strata} tables. For an R x C table, F, odds ratios can be defined in several ways; one simple way, particularly for tables with ordered factors, is to calculate the set of continuation odds ratios, based on the (R-1)x(C-1) set of 2x2 tables with

Two proposals for mosaicplot(): - The argument "sub" should not be ignored. Example: mosaicplot( HairEyeColor, sub = 'test of sub' ) - To be able to discern also longer axis labels the argument "las" or par(las=2) should not be ignored. Example: mosaicplot( HairEyeColor, las=2 ) Thanks Wolfram

Hello, I am trying to use the extended assocplot() function: assoc(), from vcd package. Trouble is that it cannot even run its own examples on my installation. I get this output: $> example(assoc) assoc> data("HairEyeColor") assoc> (x <- margin.table(HairEyeColor, c(1, 2))) Eye Hair Brown Blue Hazel Green Black 68 20 15 5 Brown 119 84 54

I don't know of any R package that can match all the functionality of LEM eg fitting equality constraints to model parameters a la LISREL. WRT dumping tables, I would have thought that as.data.frame.table does pretty much what you want, [not tested] newtab <- as.data.frame(table(a,b,c)) cat("dim\n") for(i in seq(1, ncol(newtab)-1) { cat(nlevels(newtab[,1]," ") }

I've just started learning R, so I'm still on the steep part of the learning curve, but my enthusiasm was heightened by learning that there's a very nice implementation of mosaicplot(). As a learning project, I've already done a basic implementation of a pairs.table() function which does a mosaic scatterplot matrix, and now I'm trying to do conditional mosaic plots (discrete

I handed out some results from glm() and the students ask "how many observations were dropped due to missing values"? How would I know? In other stat programs, the results will typically include N and the number dropped because of missings. Without going back to R and fiddling about to find the total number of rows in the dataframe, there is no way to tell. Somewhat

The editor in R version 1.2.0 returns an error after editing a data frame that has row names. This is on a Windows 2000 system, but I've encountered the same problem under Windows 95.

On a RedHat 7.3 system with R-1.6.1, I did this > x11(width=3.5,height=4,colortype="gray") Then plotted (with matplot) a nice looking no-color graph on the screen, then I did this: > dev.copy2eps(file="test.eps",height=4,width=3.5) I was surprised that the output in the eps file included the colored lines from the plot, even though the screen device was set to
