Dear all, In S+, there are functions like create.ole.object call.ole.method release.ole.object for communicating with other programs which work as a COM server (on Windows). Is it possible to do something similar in R (I've studied the 'connections' facilities, but they do not seem to work). ========================================== S?ren H?jsgaard, PhD, Senior Scientist

Hi, SAS transport files created with the xport engine in SAS can be read using read.xport. However, the xport engine only works with SAS version 6, and consequently long variable names are not allowed... Can anyone tell me how to get SAS data (ver 8) into R (easily)? Thanks in advance S?ren H?jsgaard sorenh at agrsci.dk http://www.jbs.agrsci.dk/~sorenh

Dear all, I would like to know how can I concatenate 2 data.frames into a single one. Both data frames have the same number of columns and the same class type in each correspondent column. So what I want is to have a new data.frame where I have first the values from one data.frame and then the values from a second data.frame would came after in this new data.frame. Thanks in advance.

I am trying to build a package binary, and get the message below. Can anyone point me to a solution to that problem.

>From time to time people request symbolic computations beyond what D() and deriv() etc can provide. A brief look at the internet shows that there are many more or less developed computer algebra packages freely available. Therefore, I wondered if it would be an idea to try to 'integrate' one of these packages in R, which I guess can be done in more or less elegant ways... I do not know

Dear all, the application of the function rstandard() in the base package to a glm object does not produce residuals standardized to have variance one: the reason is that the deviance residuals are divided by the dispersion estimate and not by the square root of the estimate for the dispersion. Should the function not be changed to produce residuals with a variance about 1? R 1.8.1 on

Good day everyone, Can anyone suggest an effective method to solve the following problem: I have 2 dataframes D1 and D2 as follows: D1: dates ws wc pwc 2005-10-19:12:00 10.8 80 81 2005-10-20:12:00 12.3 5 15 2005-10-21:15:00 12.3 3 15 2005-10-22:15:00 11.3 13 95 2005-10-23:12:00 12.3 13 2 2005-10-24:15:00 10.3 2 95 2005-10-25:15:00 10.3 2 2 D2:

Dear R-users Coming from a proc mixed (SAS) background I am trying to get into the use of (n)lme. In this connection, I have some (presumably stupid) questions which I am sure someone out there can answer: 1) With proc mixed it is easy to get a hold on the estimated variance parameters as they can be put out into a SAS data set. How do I do the same with lme-objects? For example, I can see the

Dear all, I would like to know how can I create a binned column in a data.frame. The output that I would like is something like this: Start Binned_Start 1 0-5 2 0-5 6 5-10 8 5-10 13 10-15 ...

Dear all, I would like to know how can I retrieve a data.frame without the columns that have a partial match name. Let´s say that I have a data.frame with 200 columns and 100 of them have the name "StartX", with X being the unique part for each column name. I want to delete all columns that have the name starting with "Start". I´ve tried to do this but it doesn´t work: >

Dear all, Can I do a permutation test if the number of individuals in one group is much bigger than in the other group? I searched the literature but I didin´t find any assumption that refers to this subject for permutation tests.

Dear all, I am trying to install RCurl (because I want to install devtools) and to do so I've been informed that I must install one of the packages libcurl4-openssl-dev libcurl4-nss-dev No matter which one I install I get the following error from R: * installing *source* package ‘RCurl’ ... ** package ‘RCurl’ successfully unpacked and MD5 sums checked checking for curl-config...

Dear R-helpers, I need to show a linear fit through a subset of the data within each combination of levels of two factors. So I prepared an xyplot with different panels for each level of one of the factors, and different symbols within each panel for the levels of the second factor. My problem is selecting the subset of each combination through which the line should be fit for subsequent

I can't get confint.glm to work from within a function. Consider the following (using R 1.9.1, Windows 2000): # FIRST: SOMETHING THAT WORKS FROM A COMMAND PROMPT DF <- data.frame(y=.1, N=100) (fit <- glm(y~1, family=binomial, data=DF, weights=DF[,"N"])) Call: glm(formula = y ~ 1, family = binomial, data = DF, weights = DF[, "N"]) Coefficients:

Dear all, In the SASmixed package there is an example of an analysis of a split-plot experiment. The model is fm1Semi <- lme( resistance ~ ET * position, data = Semiconductor, random = ~ 1 | Grp) where Grp in the Semiconductor dataset is defined as ET*Wafer. Is it possible to specify the grouping directly some way, e.g. like fm1Semi <- lme( resistance ~ ET * position, data =

Hello, I am trying to run "RCMD check" on a package. It performs OK, with the exception of a single warning: * checking package vignettes in 'inst/doc' ... WARNING Package vignette(s) without corresponding PDF: AnnotationFuncsUserguide.Rnw As I understand the problem, the vignette is not built. However, I have no problems in doing so manually. How do I fix this problem? I

Dear R-help, I have a very large ascii data file, of which I only want to read in selected lines (e.g. on fourth of the lines); determining which lines depends on the lines content. So far, I have found two approaches for doing this in R; 1) Read the file line by line using a repeat-loop and save the result in a temporary file or a variable, and 2) Read the entire file and filter/reshape it using

Hi I have the following formula (I hope it is clear - if no, I can try to do better the next time) h(x, a, b) = integral(0 to pi/2) ( ( integral(D/sin(alpha) to Inf) ( ( f(x, a, b) ) dx ) dalpha ) and I want to do an mle with it. I know how to use mle() and I also know about integrate(). My problem is to give the parameter values a and b to the

If I have a contourplot (in the lattice package) and I want to add straight lines to it, how do I do this? I see that there are llines() and lsegement() functions for lattice plots, but they don't seem to do anything in this case: library(lattice) library(KernSmooth) x=rnorm(10000) y=x+rnorm(x,0,.5) a=bkde2D(cbind(x,y),.7) z=as.vector(a$fhat) grid=expand.grid(x=a$x1,y=a$x2) grid$z=z
