similar to: Any orthnormal matrix can keep the curve's shape and size unchnaged?

I believe eigen(), svd() and qr() can all do it.

The 11th seems to be needed.

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

I run an IPsec/Freeswan VPN to connect 4 disparet windows LANS. I managed to RTFM until cross-subnet browsing worked (samba 2.0). Having upgraded to 2.2.3 It would seem that this feature is not working. BACKGROUND: originally all sources of information led me to understand that I would need a box running samba behind the firewall/IPsec box as I could not even ping a remote internal IP from the

One more question. I hope you're not getting tired of me already. Does generating LLVM code have to proceed in any particular order? Of course, if I am writing LLVM assembler by appending characters to the end of a sequential file, I'd have to write everything in the order prescribed by the assembler syntax. But if I'm using the C interface to build an LLVM parse tree, does that

I am using tapply to compute means by group, as in > tapply(y, z, mean) 1 2 3 21.00757 20.50031 NA where y is a vector and z a factor with levels 1:3. I would like to get a zero instead of the NA I get when a subset is empty. The problem is that FUN is not applied to empty cells of the ragged array. (Of course I am willing to define a function my.mean that returns

I am having a problem with the package SSPIR. The code below illustrates it. I keep getting the message: "Error in y - f : non-conformable arrays." I tried to tweak the code below in many different ways, for example, substituting rbind for cbind, and sometimes I get a different error message, but I could not find a variation of this code that would work. Any help will be greatly

Hello, Recently updated Ubuntu to 10.04, I have installed the r-base and r-base-dev packages from CRAN with sudo apt-get install r-base But now when I want to start R I get the following error: gpetris at definetti:~$ R /usr/lib/R/bin/exec/R: symbol lookup error: /usr/local/lib/libreadline.so.6: undefined symbol: PC Any clue??? Has anybody seen that before? I have tried to reinstall the

Is there a way I can have R automatically execute the commands in a source file without ever having to use R interactively? If so, what arguments should I pass to the UNIX call to R? I need to do this to run several R jobs in parallel. An alternative may be to have R and an R package behave as a stand-alone application that can be called from the UNIX command line. Is there any documentation on

Hello! I am trying to put two math expressions in the title of a plot. As you can see below, I can place correctly one expression at a time, but not both. Ideally I would like to have them separated by a comma.

How can I remove columns with NaN entries ?

I am trying to `cut' a continuous variable into contiguous classes containing approximately an equal number of observations. I thought quantile() was the appropriate function to use in order to find the breakpoints, but I end up with classes of different sizes - see example below. Does anybody have an explanation for that? And what is the `recommended' way of computing what I am looking

I am moving my first steps in writing and compiling C code and calling it from R. (I am also new to shared libraries...) My problem is that my C code uses a C function contained in another library (".a", not ".so" - is that the problem?). This is how I compile the file with the functions I want to call from R: cd /export/home/gpetris/ R SHLIB tryit.c cc

I am trying to transition from Sweave to knitr, but there are a few things about customization of the appearence of R input and output that I did not get yet. Maybe somebody on the list can help me. In my Sweave presentations I used a slanted font for the R input and a normal font for the output, both in a small font. I also indented everything by an extra 2em. All this was achieved by the

Hi all, Using Beamer, in order to highlight a piece of R code I do something like this - note the "\structure" and "\alert" commands: \begin{semiverbatim} > mleOut <- \structure{dlmMLE}(Nile, + parm = c(0.2, 120), # initial values for optimizer + lower = c(1e-7, 0)) \alert<2>{# V must be positive} > mleOut$convergence
