I am using 'read.csv' in V2.0.1 to read in a CSV file with the colClasses option and am getting an error from 'scan' when it encounters a non-numeric value for a 'numeric' column, i.e. > ds <- read.csv(in_file, nrows=irow, row.names=NULL, colClasses=zclass, comment.char="") Error in scan(file = file, what = what, sep = sep, quote =

I am trying to coerce a data frame column from character to datetime using strptime but keep getting an error because the length of the coerced object is always 9. What am I doing wrong here: ................................................................. > ds <- cbind(1:2, c("02/27/92 23:03:20", "02/27/92 22:29:56")); ds [,1] [,2] [1,]

I am stuck on trying to get the Lattice xyplot to output a separate PNG file each time through my 'for' loop. The files get produced but are empty. Here is the code. I'm running 1.9 on Windows. BTW is there a more efficient way of creating the separate output files than looping over the levels and subsetting? ......................................................... lev <-

I need to make plots similar to those produced by the s-plus rayplot function but can't seem to find it in R. These 'vector maps' plot a ray or vector at each specified location. Is there something similar in R ? --Rich Richard Kittler AMD TDG 408-749-4099

Hi, Don't have a clue what teh following error message generated by this function call: qqmath( ~val|ind,data = xx ,distribution = function(p){ qt(p,df=20)} ,ylab="Sample Quatinles" ,xlab="Theoretical Quantiles" ,panel=function(x,y) { panel.qqmathline(y , distribution=function(p) qt(p,df=20)

The data are not normally distributed when untransformed and I'm trying various transformations to see if any would be appropriate to use. The lattice book (fig. 3.10) shows a 2-sample Q-Q plot with an abline but the code for the figure does not include the line. I'd appreciate a pointer to a reference on how to add an abline to a one-sample qqmath() plot in lattice. Rich

Having solved this problem, I am posting this so that the next time I search for how to do this I will find an answer... Using qqmath(..., groups=num) creates a separate qq distribution for each group (within a panel). Using the 'col' or 'pch' argument does not (usually) work because panel.qqmath sorts the data (but not 'col' or 'pch') before plotting. Sorting

In qqmath, how would one go about having 'distribution' change with panel.number? I've tried set.seed(1) mydata <- data.frame(ind = factor(rep(2:4, each = 100))) mydata$val <- rt(300, df=rep(2:4, each = 100)) plot<-qqmath(~ val | ind, layout=c(3,1), data = mydata, prepanel = function(x, distribution, ...) {

Is there a way of controlling the font size and alignment of a footnote in an xyplot, or alternatively of using 'mtext' to place a footnote at the bottom of a graph? --Rich Richard Kittler Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. Sunnyvale, CA

Dear group, I tried to generate labels for every second tick in lattice (qqmath). Version: 0.14-16 Date: 2006/12/01 R version 2.4.1 (2006-12-18) An example: library(lattice) numy=100 y=runif(numy,min=0,max=1) sig=0.05 numsig=length(which(y<sig)) tck.no=11 # number of ticks tcks=1:tck.no labl=as.character(0.1*tcks-0.1) # label for all ticks labl[seq(2,tck.no-1,2)]="" # delete

Dear R list, The code below puts qq-plots for two of three groups on the one plot. However the legend includes all three groups, ie the auto.key ignores the subset instruction. Is there an easy way to get around this, so that only those groups plotted are included in the legend? y1<-rnorm(100); y2<-rnorm(100)+1; y3<-rnorm(100)+2; y<-c(y1,y2,y3)

Hi Group, For the plot below, are there other ways I can use more of the plotting space. I've tweaked the parameters I know of. I could also put the plot titles inside the plot if there is a way to do that. Thanks for your input. Regards, Juliet p1 <- runif(1000) # sample data qp1 <- qqmath(~ -log(p1), data = as.data.frame(p1), distribution =

Hello, I can't seem to make qqmath plot text. v <- rnorm(8) qqmath(~v) # this is ok, but qqmath(~v, panel=function(x, y) { points(x, y) text(0, 0, 'print me', cex=2)}) isn't ok. The axis frame is printed properly (ie, as in qqmath(~v)), but neither 'print me' nor the points show up on the graph. I can, however, see the upper half of the word 'me' in the

I have been crashing R while using lattice. My system consists of a Mac Intel, R 2.5.1, lattice 0.15-5, and I plot through the default quartz. R crashes after plotting several lattice functions. Has anyone else encountered this problem and does anyone know the cause, or a solution? Is this a lattice:mac, lattice:quartz, Lattice:me issue? example... This crashes my system after plotting.

Hello, I would like to inlude the Q-Q plot by "qqmath" into a panel with other plots, say, using par(mfrow=c(1,2)). How can this be done given that "qqmath" refreshes the plotting window and there seems to be no series coming out of it? Thanks Serguei [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Hello ALL! Can anyone tell me how to specify qqmath() function with distribution qgamma? In help it is bit vague how to pass shape and scale parameters for gamma. Thank you in advance. Best, PM

Hello, I'm Giovanni from ROMA.. I can't find a solution for the error: "error using packet 1 the y field is not specified and it has not a default value" (this is my traslation from italian language) The code is: pc<- qqmath(~valori, distribution=function(p) qweibull(p,beta,alpha), prepanel = prepanel.qqmathline, panel = function(x, y) {

Hello all -- I would like to thicken the borders between panels -- or more generally, all borders -- in a plot generated using lattice (specifically, levelplot). Something similar perhaps to box() function in graphics. I haven't been successful in reviewing available documentation. The problem stems from using a grayscale colorscheme that puts black colors near the borders, thus

Good Morning: I have attached a text file with one hundred thirty six observations. I would like to create a qq plot with the following features: 1. Observed values on the y-axis. 2. Normal approximation line on the plot. 3. X-axis with vertical reference lines at the following percentiles of the data: 1, 10, 20, 50, 80, 90 and 99. 4. Data appearing on the plot as distinct points. I assume that
