There have been a number of posts to this list by people having trouble with the HTML search engine. Often these troubles are caused by incorrect setups (user hasn't installed Java properly, or Java is disabled, or Javascript is disabled). Sometimes the trouble persists even when Java is installed properly. I have written an alternative HTML search engine, which is based on Javascript rather

Full_Name: Anthony Westerling Version: 1.7.0 OS: Mac OS X 10.2.5 Submission from: (NULL) (64.203.9.4) R includes a very nice search engine web page which installs at /usr/local/lib/R/doc/html/search/SearchEngine.html. The search engine and keywords links do not work on my Mac G4s running OS X 10.2.5, and this appears to be independent of choice of browser. This appears to be a Mac-specific

Not really an R question but I'm hoping someone can help me out. I'm having problems with the R help page "The R language" and Mozilla 1.3 with the Java 2 runtime environment 1.4.1_02 under Windows XP. The problems occur on the "Search Engine & Keywords" page. I can open two links, but after that links aren't recognized. The problem seems to be javascript

I'm running R-2.1.0 on a Linux box and found that the HTML search engine help would not work with Firefox 1.0.3 but would work with Mozilla 1.7.7. I have Java Runtime Environment 1.5.0_02 installed. With Firefox, when I launch help.start() and click to the search engine, it brings up the first page with "Applet SearchEngine started" in the status bar, but clicking on one of the

I am running R on a corporate Windows XP SP2 machine on which I do not have administrator privileges or access to most settings in Control Panel. R is installed from my limited user account. The version of the JVM I have installed is perhaps best described as antique: > system(paste("java -version"),show.output.on.console=T) java version "1.4.1" Java(TM) 2 Runtime

Dear R users, I've just posted a similar question about Illustrator. This time I would like to export the results of my statistic tables and my dataframes into Excel files. Up to now I've used write.csv(), but I have to resave every file in .xls in Excel. I would like to know if there is a function or package to export directly into *.xls. I have found xlsReadWrite which would be

Hello, Sorry if this question was already asked (I though it was... but did not found the exact answer in the archives). I use R 2.2.0 and just updated to Firefox 1.5 (note that I already got the same result with Firefox 1.x.x) under Win XP sp2 US (full details of my config hereunder). When I try to use the HTML help search page, I can make a search: the message 'Applet SearchEngine

I have a big contingency table, approximately of size 60*2*500*500, and I need to count the number of cells containing a count of 1 for each of the factors values defining the first dimension. Here is my attempt: tab1<-with(pisa1,table(CNT,GENDER,ISCOF,ISCOM)) tab2<-apply(tab1,1:4,function(x)ifelse(sum(x)==1,1,0)) tab3<-apply(tab2,1,sum) Computing tab2 is very slow. Is there a faster

I need to play games with an expression similar to the following one: print(xyplot(DepVar ~ Group|Covar, groups=Othergroup, data=mydf, pch = 18 ,main="Testcase",auto.key = TRUE)) The problem is that the formula argument (the first argument) an the groups argument are passed over from another program as strings. The formula argument does not pose problems, I can do

In some languages there is a function gensym() which returns a new unique name (in the current environment). This is quite helpful when one has to do temporary assignments. I could not find such a function in R.

hist(rbinom(1000,10,0.5),col=2,xlim=c(0,10),ylim=c(0,300)) gives a histogram with "touching bars" hist(rbinom(100000,10,0.5),col=2,xlim=c(0,10),ylim=c(0,30000)) gives a histogram with space between the bars. is there a way to control the space betweent he bars easily? -- Erich Neuwirth, Computer Supported Didactics Working Group Visit our SunSITE at http://sunsite.univie.ac.at

typeof applied to a factor always seems to return "integer", independently of the type of the levels. This has a strange side effect. When a variable is "imported" into a data frame, its type changes. character variables automatically are converted to factors when imported into data frames. Here is an example: > v1<-1:3 >

I have problems with Rpad and R 2.10.0 (Windows XP and Windows 7, browser is Firefox) Just starting Rpad by library(Rpad) Rpad() opens the browser and displays the .html files and the .Rpad files in my home directory, but these files do not have links and are not clickable. Doing the same in R 2.9.2 gives clickable links in the browser. Furthermore, in both cases an empty graphics window
