Hi all, I'm having difficulty converting a 'dates' object to a POSIXct object: testDATES<-c(35947,35971,36004,36008,36053,36066) testDATES<-chron(dates=testDATES, format = c(dates = "m/d/y"), origin=c(month = 12, day = 30, year = 1899)) >[1] 06/01/98 06/25/98 07/28/98 08/01/98 09/15/98 09/28/98 > as.POSIXct(testDATES) [1] NA NA NA NA NA NA

I've downloaded and installed R 1.9.0 under OS X 10.3.3. I then removed my previous R 1.8.0 installation by following the instructions in the readme file, e.g., 1. drag the "StartR" icon into the Trash; 2) go inside your Home directory and search for the Library folder. Inside the Library folder in your Home directory you'll find a RAqua directory: drag the RAqua

I've installed R 1.8.1 on OSX 10.3 (Panther) using the RAqua.pkg and all indications were that the installation was successful. However, after double clicking the R icon in the Applications folder, nothing appears to happen. The following message appears on the console: Mac OS X Version 10.3 (Build 7B85) 2003-12-11 08:45:31 -0500 prefs written dyld:

Hello, I'm trying to install a package that requires a Fortran compiler (Hmisc) using R CMD INSTALL. I downloaded the package source onto my Desktop, unzipped it, and then typed: R CMD INSTALL /Users/brianbeckage/Desktop/Hmisc * Installing *source* package 'Hmisc' ... ** libs g77 -fno-common -g -O2 -c cidxcn.f -o cidxcn.o g77 -fno-common -g -O2 -c cidxcp.f -o cidxcp.o g77

Dear List, I'd like to add text to a plot where a text symbol has both a superscript and subscript. For example, the variable S with a superscript 2 and a subscript t. I have been able to accomplish this using either expression( paste(S,atop(scriptstyle(2),scriptstyle(t))) ) or expression( {S[t]}^2 ) but the spacing isn't quite right (or rather what I'd like) using either of

Dear R list, I noticed the following 'problem' when changing the format of dates created with seq.dates() (from the Chron library) using as.POSIXct() (R 1.8.0 on OSX 10.2.8): > datesTest<-seq.dates(from="10/01/1952", length=3, by="days"); > datesTest [1] 10/01/52 10/02/52 10/03/52 # Now changing the format to show year as 1952. >

Hello, Does R have any facilities for calendar time series? I'm working with a 40 year long, daily time series and I would like to have each datum associated with a calendar date. I searched the R website and found several new packages for irregular time series but none for cts. By the way, I just installed 1.8.0 on Mac OSX and the installation was effortless! I also very much like

Hi Rui, Thanks for your reply to my post. My code still has various shortcomings but at least now it is fully functional. It may be that, as I transition to using R, I'll have to live with some less than ideal code, at least at the outset. I'll just have to write and re-write my code as I improve. Appreciate your help.

Hello Everyone, Still new to R. Wrote some code that finds and prints invalid dates (see below). This code works but I suspect it's not very good. If someone could show me a better way, I'd greatly appreciate it. Here is some information about what I'm trying to accomplish. My sense is that the R date functions are best at identifying invalid dates when fed character data in their

Is it possible to give a temporary object a name that varies with each run of a foreloop? For example, I want to fill a matrix every time I run a loop, and I want a new matrix with each run, with an appropriate new name. i.e.: for(i in 1:5){... matrix.i<-some values ...} so that in the end I would have: matrix.1 matrix.2 matrix.3 matrix.4 matrix.5 Thanks, Ben Osborne -- Botany Department

When reading a data set into R using readLines, na.strings="-99.99" is ignored. Is there an equivalent command for readLines? Alternatively, either immediately after reading into R or once the data set has been converted to a data frame, what is the appropriate command (or appropriate use of is.na) to convert my -99.99s to NAs? Thanks, Ben Osborne -- Botany Department University of

How can I extract K (number of parameters) from an AIC calculation, both to report K itself and to calculate AICc? I'm aware of the conversion from AIC -> AICc, where AICc = AIC + 2K(K+1)/(n-K-1), but not sure of how K is calculated or how to extract that value from either an AIC or logLik calculation. This is probably more of a basic statistics question than an R question, but I thank

I'm having trouble loading Ryacas. I've downloaded and extracted Ryacas 0.2-9 (also tried Ryacas ) and yacas 1.0.63, have the latest version of R and have tried the following (this works for installing other packages): install.packages("Ryacas") library(Ryacas) install.packages("yacas") library(yacas) and get this: Warning message: package ‘yacas’ is not available

What is the difference between the two R-squareds returned for a linear regression by summary(lm...)? When might one report multiple vs. adjusted R-squared?

1) When adding additional data sets to a plot using "plot" followed by "lines", is there a way to automate the scaling of the axes to allow for all data sets to fit within the plot area? 2) I attempted to solve this by setting xlim=c(min(c(data1,data2,data3)),max(c(data1,data2,data3))) however, there are some NAs and Infs in these data sets, and min(data1) and max(data1) both

Does anyone know of a list of functions that R already "knows?" I can't seem to find this anywhere in the help documentation. For example, I want to count the number of occurences of a certain value in a column of a data frame: What do I have to do to tell R to "Count?"

Hi Timo & Dovecot users, We have a 2-node director setup which front-ends for 4 nodes which share a clustered filesystem (GFS). All nodes run Dovecot 2.0.18. Approximately 40k users, but typically only a few thousand active at any time. The director nodes run sendmail, which deliver mail "locally" using LMTP to the director, which then feeds to SMTP on the real servers (also

I'm attempting to do model selection with AIC, using a glm and a lognormal distribution, but: fit1<-glm(BA~Year,data=pdat.sp1.65.04, family=gaussian(link="log")) ## gives the same result as either of the following: fit1<-glm(BA~Year,data=pdat.sp1.65.04, family=gaussian) fit1<-lm(BA~Year,data=pdat.sp1.65.04) fit1 #Coefficients: #(Intercept) Year2004 # -1.6341
