similar to: Is there an easy way to generate linearly independent vec tors

Dear R-listers: I am trying to test an algorithm on a set of linearly independent vectors {x1,x2,...,xn}. So anyone can give me a hint on generating these vectors in an easy way? Thanks for your points. Fred [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Dear All Maybe the following is a stupid question. Assume I have 3 coordinate points (not limited to be in 2D or 3D space) a, b, c. It is known that these 3 points will define a plane. The problem is how to get the normal direction that is orthogonal to this plane. Is there an easy way to calculate it using the values of a, b, and c? Thanks for any point or help on this. Fred

Dear R users, I want to know, given a curve f in d-dimensional space, It is possible to keep the curve’s shape and size unchanged by an arbitrary dxd orthnormal matrix A? That is, the new curve g = A*f is still the same shape and size as f? Thanks for your advices and answers. Fred [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Dear R Masters, I'm an anesthesiology resident trying to make his way through basic statistics. Recently I have been confronted with longitudinal data in a treatment vs. control analysis. My dataframe is in the form of: subj | group | baseline | time | outcome (long) or subj | group | baseline | time1 |...| time6 | (wide) The measured variable is a continuous one. The null hypothesis in

The documentation says, "pmax and pmin take several vectors as arguments and return a single vector giving the parallel maxima (or minima) of the vectors." I discovered that, if you use a matrix or array instead of a vector, pmax returns a matrix or array, respectively. This makes pmax and pmin much more useful, and should not be left to people to discover on their own! For example:

Don't do anything yet. I may have found the problem by accident. I tried to use the computer from something else, and it was being drastically slowed down by some leftover processes, which turned out to be xlhtml. That is something that converts Excel files. Apparently, some excel files got into the libraries, and they were causing the indexing to hang completely. I am now running everything

Hello, All: Jonathan Baron is "giving up" maintaining the RSiteSearch database. This breaks three things: (1) The R Site Search web service that Baron has maintained. (2) The RSiteSearch function in the utils package. (3) The sos package, for which I'm the maintainer and lead author. Might someone else be willing to take these over? For me,

Does anyone know how to read a SYSTAT .syd file on Linux? (Splus 6 does it, but it is easier to find a Windows box with Systat than to download their demo. I'm wondering if there is a better way than either of these options.)

Hey, All In principal component analysis (PCA), we want to know how many percentage the first principal component explain the total variances among the data. Assume the data matrix X is zero-meaned, and I used the following procedures: C = covriance(X) %% calculate the covariance matrix; [EVector,EValues]=eig(C) %% L = diag(EValues) %%L is a column vector with eigenvalues as the elements percent

I'd like to generate 00Index.html for a bunch of libraries for my R search page. I have now almost all the html help files for individual functions, even for packages that won't install on my computer (e.g., because they are specific to Windows). I made these using Rdconv. But that won't make the 00Index file, and neither will Rdindex, which makes a text file. I'm probably

We sent questionnaires to lots of folks. The questionnaires differed in word count (wc). For each questionnaire, I know wc and whether the questionnaire was returned or not (status). It looks like there is a fixed rate of return when wc is below a break point, and the rate of return falls off linearly after that. I want to do a piecewise linear regression with two pieces meeting at a common

My search site, http://finzi.psych.upenn.edu, has had several problems recently, all my fault, for which I apologize. But it now seems to be running reliably, on a new computer that is much faster than the old one. It uses htdig to permit search of the Rhelp mailing list, R documents, R functions, and various combinations of these. Search has several options, including Boolean search (with AND,

I cannot discover how to set or find the working directory in Rweb, so that I can source() a file from the server. The file I source() must refer to a data file in its directory. setwd() does not do anything, and getwd() says that the working directory is in /var/www/cgi-bin/ (on Linux). (I have a student who installed R on her own computer and analyzed half of her data, and then her computer

Unfortunately, I am unable to get this search site working again. (The message below explains why I had to rebuild it.) The computer worked for the better part of a day downloading and installing all the help files from all CRAN packages. Somehow it failed to get the vignettes this time. But I pushed ahead and ran the part of namazu that makes the search indices: mknmz. And you can see the

Dear R-devel, I had attempted to compile r-devel (dated Oct. 31, 2001) on WinNT with link to ATLAS, with mostly success. However, when I tried the following, I got a visit from Dr. Watson: R : Copyright 2001, The R Development Core Team Version 1.4.0 Under development (unstable) (2001-10-31) R is free software and comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY.

Can someone in R Core please take a look at the attached patches to RSiteSearch() and its help page? I guess Jon is planning some changes on his site. Jon: could you elaborate on what the patch does?

For my R page at http://finzi.psych.upenn.edu/ (also the target of RSiteSearch()), I'm trying to find a way to get the html versions of the help pages without actually installing packages. This will allow me to include packages that don't install. And it will also vastly speed up the monthly update, and make it easier to replicate everything in case of disaster. I have made a modified

For those new to this list, I point out that Yuelin Li and I have drafted an introduction to R for psychology, trying to emphasize the things the psychologists usually do. It is at http://www.psych.upenn.edu/~baron/rpsych.pdf and http://www.psych.upenn.edu/~baron/rpsych.htm Because it is a draft, with frequent changes, we have not yet asked for it to be placed in the CRAN page. We welcome
