As an R absolute beginner and an expert (very old) statistician and latex user, I'm interested in using R to produce AUTOMAGICALLY tables in latex format. I mean I would like to have the means to build an R procedure generating **FROM INSIDE** a table or a graph to be inserted directly into latex. I've read http://hesweb1.med.virginia.edu/biostat/s/doc/summary.pdf where the author speaks

Having to collect hourly electricity loads and quarter-of-an-hour electricity production data for some years I think that the tidiest way of doing it is to resort to ts but I don't know how to define such a frequency starting from a set date. Leafing through r-help mail archives I've found this *ALMOST* satisfactory message: ==========================================================

I'm trying to use ESS & xemacs under debian linux testing and KDE. My problem is that I didn't find any document in the internet explaining a **step by step** session with R and xemacs. The (wrong) procedure I follow (to no avail!) is: 1) I start R in a terminal window; 2) I start xemacs and open a file with the extension .R (test.R); 3) I issue M-x R RET and I can see an Rd new

I'm reading Ripley-Venables "Modern Applied Statistics with S - Fourth edition" , at the same time trying the examples proposed in the book using R 1.8.1 under linux. Now I'm trying the following code from the book (example code of spatial statistics at page 76) with R : | data(topo) library("spatial") topo.loess<-loess(z ~ x * y, topo, | degree= 2,span=0.25) |

As an absolute beginner, still reading "Modern Applied Statistics with S" and exercising with its examples, I'm frequently stopped by what it looks to be R poor help system (or is it my gigantic ignorance?). I mean that using help many arguments of a command seems to be given for granted like for instance: ............................... ?lines lines(x, ...) ## Default S3

I'm learning R from scratch on my linux box, being deeply biased at work by those graphical programs, nice to look but often poor in content and almost generally limited, running under M$ Windows. I wonder if someone out there can suggest to an absolute beginner as I am where to find a collection of examples of R-code (or Splus, as I understand) to play with in order to learn R quicker. The

As an absolute beginner I'm reading and practicing with the Verzani doc to learn R. Now, being an expert latex user who wants to integrate graphical capabilities if R and latex, using the "Simple" library and the simple.scatterplot examples I had a go at: 1) Including the resulting graph into a doc.snw then compiled through sweave & latex; 2) Produce the graph in pdf format

Reading "Modern Applied Statististics with S" and trying the corresponding examples both in the book and in ../lib/R/library/MASS/script, I'm now trying chapter 4 plotting bars with the following code on a linux box with R 1.8.1: ---------------------- library(MASS) library(lattice) options(echo=T, width=65, digits=5) lung.deaths <- aggregate(ts.union(mdeaths, fdeaths), 1)

Dear All: For a few days now I have struggled with recreating a stable LaTeX/R/Sweave environment on a new Windows XP SP3 machine. Unfortunately it seems that I ran out of good ideas and I would like your expert opinion on how I should approach this task and be successful. In essence, I installed (several times) in this order the following: R2.10.1 (and then R 2.9.2), Adobe Acrobat Reader 9

Hi, has anyonne experienced problems between the LaTeX beamer class and Sweave? The following code does not work properly: ################################# \documentclass{beamer} \usepackage[latin1]{inputenc} \usepackage[T1]{fontenc} \usepackage{ngerman} \begin{document} \frame{ \frametitle{test} test <<>>= 1+1 @ } \end{document} ################################# Below is the

I'd like to make MikTeX the default TeX package in 2.2.0, but we still need to let people use other packages. The problem is that MikTeX wants a command line option --include-directory $R_HOME/share/texmf, while other packages specify includes via environment variables, and barf when they see the unexpected option. The choice should be controlled by the user's settings in the MkRules

Hi, I recently switched from Mac OS X (after 7 years) to Xubuntu 12.04 and I am quite happy with it so far. I first installed R from source but I was somehow missing certain things and I thus decided (after a new Xubuntu installation which I had to make due to other reasons) to install R the "Ubuntu way": ,----[ R installation: ] | 1) sudo emacs /etc/apt/sources.list | 2) add: | deb

Dear R?ers I?m trying to get a summary table using latex and summary in the rms package to no avail. I?m running R 2.10.1, Mac OS X snow leopard and I have the mactex 2009 distribution installed.

Dear all, I am getting an R CMD check warning about the PDF manual. I am having a hard time finding out what is wrong, here is the log of the Rd2pdf call.

I apologize for abusing the list somewhat but there is some connection to R. Several of the example files in the knitr package for R use the tufte-handout class, which, AFAICS, is not available in Ubuntu or Debian packages (please correct me if I am wrong). The source files are available at tufte-latex.googlecode.com (a.k.a. code.google.com/p/tufte-latex) and I presume they should end up in a

I'm using R 2.2.0 on an up-to-date version of Fedora Core 4 with the latest version of Hmisc.
