Zelig: Everyone's Statistical Software Kosuke Imai, Gary King and Olivia Lau Version 1.0 (Available at http://gking.harvard.edu/zelig) A growing proportion of statisticians and methodologists from many disciplines are converging on R, a powerful statistics package and programming language. As an open source project, R is freely

Hi all, I'm not sure if this is a feature or a bug (and I did read the FAQ and the posting guide, but am still not sure). Some of my students have been complaining and I thought I just might ask: Let K be a vector of length k. If one types dim(K), you get NULL rather than [1] k. Is this logical? Here's the way I explain it (and maybe someone can provide a more accurate

Hi, I am working on a package which requires separate documentation (tutorial documentation, really, with a lot of beautifully latexed equations), and does not use R-help. I am trying to make it so that my help function will automatically search R-help if the help topic isn't found in my documentation. The function looks something like this: help.pkg <- function(topic) { #

Hi, Is there a way to make demo() print comments along with the code and output? For example, if I use something like readline("..."), demo prints both readline("...") and ...; as far as I can tell, this is also true of print() and cat(). I just want students to stop and think about every command in my demo scripts. Thanks, Olivia.

Is anybody working on a way to standardize the creation of "newdata" objects for predict methods? When using predict, I find it difficult/tedious to create newdata data frames when there are many variables. It is necessary to set all variables at the mean/mode/median, and then for some variables of interest, one has to insert values for which predictions are desired. I was at a

Hi, I saw some ref to R on HDF site and found some e-mails regarding them on Feb. Has there ben any developement on either of these software (HDF or netCDF)? I am primary interested in NT side, but Unix side will help to some degree. Thanks much in advance, ************************************************************** S. Hoon Yoon (Quant) Merrill Lynch

Hello, I am writing as an administrator, not as an R user, so forgive me if I am not completely knowledgeable about R. I have a user who is creating an R package for windows from a Linux environment using the crossbuild environment by Jun Yan and A.J. Rossini. The packages she generated worked fine until she tried to install in R 1.9.1 for Windows. Now when she installs with

Hello, I have a data frame with the following variables: ID, X1,X2,X3,X4,X5,Y1,Y2,Y3,Y4,Y5 and some other that do not matter, some of the X and Y can be missing (NA). I want to compute the slope of the linear regression Y ~ X for each subject, so using apply(DF,1,FUN,ra.rm=TRUE) now How do I define FUN? The X are different for each subject. Thanks for any help R.Heberto Ghezzo Ph.D. Montreal -

Hello, I am trying to modify some functions in an existing package. I can get a function by just typing the name in the console, but how can I get all the functions in a package? the ./R/ subdirectory has files xx.rdb and xx.rdx which I can not decompress with 7-zip or with unzip, unrar etc. The help files are compressed with gzip in the ./man/ folder and can be unzipped easily. Thanks for your

Hello, I have a problem. I have to read a HUGE file which has to be line processed, so I would like to use scan like p <- scan(pfile,what=c(0,0,0,"",0,""),nlines=1) but it continues to read the first line, so I have to add a skip and increment the skip after each read. It takes forever to read a test file of 1 Mb, the real one is in 60's Mb Is there a way to read line

Hello everybody I am trying to extract some observations from a data frame, ie the subjects that belong to a given group, and although t-test etc work if I try to obtain the number of subjects in the subgroup i get some funny numbers. All the subjects with NA for group are included in the subgroups 'group==1' etc. Is this a bug? for example in Windoze R : Copyright 2001, The R
