loadhistory() in .Rprofile ?
dear wizards: my .Rprofile has just one command for testing, loadhistory("~/.Rhistory") but this gives me an error on R startup: Error: couldn't find function "loadhistory" Invoking loadhistory() as the first interactive command works fine; incidentally, I believe loadhistory() in the .Rprofile worked in earlier or other platform R releases, too. Is the .Rprofile

pdf device --- axes labels text disappeared?
Dear R Wizards: Running R 1.9.1. on amd64. Promise<- c(0,20,40); Expect<- c(0, 20, 0.2*20+.8*40 ); # this omits printing numbers on the axes labels. pdf(file = "bug.pdf" ); plot(Promise, Expect, type="b", ylim=c(0,60)); dev.off(); # this works postscript(file = "bug.eps" ); plot(Promise, Expect, type="b", ylim=c(0,60)); dev.off(); apologies if

non-linear solve?
hi: could someone please point me to a function that allows me to solve general non-linear functions? > irr.in <- function(r, c1, c2, c3 ) { return(c1+c2/(1+r) + c3/(1+r)^2); } > solve.nonlinear( irr.in, -100, 60, 70 ); 0.189 If someone has written an irr function, this would be helpful, too---though not difficult to write, either. thanks for any pointers.

paste / system mystery
Dear R wizards: under R-2.1.0: eargs <- 3:5; line <- paste(c("echo A B", eargs)); cat("executing from R: '", line, "'\n"); system(line); Oddly, only "A" and "B" are echoed, not the eargs. I had hoped that line would be one string at this point, and for printing this seems to be true. However, unlist(line) still gives me the 4

adding observations to lm for fast recursive residuals?
dear R community: i have been looking but failed to find the following: is there a function in R that updates a plain OLS lm() model with one additional observation, so that I can write a function that computes recursive residuals *quickly*? PS: (I looked at package strucchange, but if I am not mistaken, the recresid function there takes longer than iterating over the models fresh from

if syntax
I ran into an interesting oddity of R, if (0) { print(1); } else { print(2); } is a syntax error, while if (0) { print(1); } else { print(2); } or if (0) { print(1); } else { print(2); } is not. I presume it has to do with the duality of the newline functioning as an end of command (;) character, though it still seems a bit odd, and it took me a while to figure out

R on gentoo amd64 (gcc 3.3.3) is unstable
dear wizards: FYI: gentoo is a linux meta distribution, which compiles all packages. Once running, gentoo is stable on most applications. (it has some problems with system tools, such as grub.) the compiler is gcc 3.3.3. I do not expect anyone to track down for me why R fails on the gentoo amd64+gcc3.3.3 system, but I thought that it would be good to put it on the record to save

pdf font embedding --- again
dear R wizards--- I would like to do some book-on-demand printing at a popular printer named lulu, but lulu requires inclusion even of the basic postscript fonts. Interestingly, my book itself does not need the 14 base acrobat fonts, only the embedded R figures do. Of course, I really would like to get pdftex to embed the fonts, but how to do this is not obvious either. [This method seems

I think I've said it before, but I think such a book ought to coauthor Paul Johnson, whether or not he does any work beyond the Rtips web pages. A few of the tips may need a bit of

This has been in the R-admin manual for a least a week, and I reported it here earlier than that. R 2.0.0 alpha does not allow f2c on 64-bit platforms. It's all been dealt with quite awhile ago ....

fast NA elimination ?
dear R wizards: an operation I execute often is the deletion of all observations (in a matrix or data set) that have at least one NA. (I now need this operation for kde2d, because its internal quantile call complains; could this be considered a buglet?) usually, my data sets are small enough for speed not to matter, and there I do not care whether my method is pretty inefficient (ok, I

postscript symbols?
dear R wizards: is it possible to use a postscript font symbol as a plot symbol? in particular, I want to use the four postscript symbols for playing cards (club, heart, spade, diamond) as points. In LaTeX, these four are \Pisymbol{psy}{"A7} \Pisymbol{psy}{"A8} \Pisymbol{psy}{"A9} \Pisymbol{psy}{"A10} and what I would love to do is place them, at say, (x=1,y=1),

sas vs. R
SAS * better manuals. * tech support for most universities contracted into the price, thus for researchers. * batch orientation. if you have to handle data sets that are as large as your memory, SAS generally does it better. It seems to be an "n-pass design." Years ago, when memory was expensive, I could not use S/R even for simple problems. Just a few simple operations, and I

Maximization of quadratic forms
Dear R Help, I am trying to fit a nonlinear model for a mean function $\mu(Data_i, \beta)$ for a fixed covariance matrix where $\beta$ and $\mu$ are low- dimensional. More specifically, for fixed variance-covariance matrices $\Sigma_{z=0}$ and $\Sigma_{z=1}$ (according to a binary covariate $Z $), I am trying to minimize: $\sum_{i=1^n} (Y_i-\mu_(Data_i,\beta))' \Sigma_{z=z_i}^{-1} (Y_i-

extract variance components
HI, I would like to extract the variance components estimation in lme function like a.fit<-lme(distance~age, data=aaa, random=~day/subject) There should be three variances \sigma_day, \sigma_{day %in% subject } and \sigma_e. I can extract the \sigma_e using something like a.fit$var. However, I cannot manage to extract the first two variance components. I can only see the results in

Mathematical expressions in the group labels in lattice

I short example for this library(lattice) Case<-factor(rep(1:2,each=300)) xx<-rnorm(600,0,1) yy<-rnorm(600,0,1) xyplot(yy~xx|Case) This results in two scatter plots with label "1" and "2".
