I have installed the binary packages for Debian GNU/Linux release 2.3 (woody) in the U.S. mirror of the CRAN archive. They should propagate to the main CRAN archive within a day and to the other mirrors within two days. These packages have been compiled with gcc-3.0 and g77-3.0. I believe the testing distribution currently provides only a snapshot of gcc-3.0, not the latest released version, so

I have generated some some survival times and censoring indicators. Thus I have an ordered pair for each observation. How do I sample these ordered paris? I only know how to sample from a vector? I would appreciate any help I could get. Thanks Matt

R 1.6.1 on Windows NT4: The boxplot() function appears to draw its own tick marks and axis values even when called with add=TRUE. As a toy example, try x <- rnorm(100) f <- factor(rep(1:4, each=25)) plot(c(0,4), c(-3,3), type="n", xaxt="n", yaxt="n") boxplot(x ~ f, add=TRUE) My expectation is that a high-level plotting function will not mess with the axes

Dear R users and Helpers I am beginner with using R and interested in carrying out certain task for my statistical research. I am reading data for a text file, which could contain data in following pattern x y 8 10 11 14 16 16 18 15 6 20 4 4 20 18 As per the example I have two columns and 7 rows of data in each. However is real life data situation I may not know how many columns are present

Greetings, I have a meta-analysis problem in which I have fixed effects regression coefficients (and estimated standard errors) from identical models fit to different data sets. I would like to use these results to create pooled estimated regression coefficients and estimated standard errors for these pooled coefficients. In particular, I would like to estimate the model \beta_{i} = \mu +

I'm trying to find a clever way to re-map data from a database query into a data.frame. Querying a database often returns a table (data.frame) like this: GeneID MethodID Value 6 1 123 6 2 456 6 3 987 7 1 234 7 3 432 8 2 190 8 3 34 8 1 864 Note that GeneID=7 doesn't have a value for MethodID=2. Note that GeneID=8 doesn't have the

Hi all, I have multiple textboxes containing numbers. I want to add up all the numbers and show the sum. Can I select the textboxes by class and sum the content? This also has to happen realtime: when a number is changed ina textbox the sum should also change. can this be done? regards, Stijn --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are

Dear list, Utils::modifyList() drops NULL components in its second argument, instead of adding them to the first argument. Compare: > modifyList(x=list(A=1), val=list(B=2, C=3)) $A [1] 1 $B [1] 2 $C [1] 3 > modifyList(x=list(A=1), val=list(B=NULL, C=3)) $A [1] 1 $C [1] 3 To me this seems inconsistent with the documentation ("Elements in 'val' which are missing from

R 3.5.1 on Windows 7 The documentation for 'var' says: "These functions return 'NA' when there is only one observation (whereas S-PLUS has been returning 'NaN'), and fail if 'x' has length zero." The function 'sd' (based on 'var') has similar documentation. However, I get: var(numeric(0)) [1] NA rather than an error. Personally I

R 1.8.0 on Windows XP Professional. A huge THANK YOU to the R Team for this marvelous software. I am making lattice plots of oceanographic data. The usual layout does not conform to plotting conventions that marine scientists use when depth is the independent variable. Under those conventions, plots are made with the origin at the upper left, depth on the vertical axis (increasing as it

In working through material on p.272 of MASS (4th ed.), I came across the following model formula: pet1.lm <- lm(Y ~ No/EP - 1, Petrol) I was at a loss to understand the use of "/" until I looked in "An Introduction [!] to R," where I found the explanation. My request is that more complete material on model formulae be lifted from "Introduction to R" (or

I have a form that I want to use to update multiple objects. In the controller, @grades = Grade.find(params[:grade].keys) @grades.each_with_index do |grade, i| grade.update_attribute(params[:grade][i]) end all_valid = @grades.inject(true) {|memo, c| c.valid? && memo } this doesn''t update the attributes as I would expect. (I would just use

To follow up on my previous question, suppose a user R session wants to unload one workspace and load another within an R session. Is the following the correct sequence? 1. save.image() to save the current workspace as .Rdata in the current working directory. 2. rm(list=ls()) to remove everything from the workspace. 3. setcwd("xxx") to set the new working directory. 4.

R 2.4.1 on Windows XP. Question: In traditional graphics, is it possible to find out the height of a line of text in units that can be used in arithmetic and then in calls to text()? Context: I have written a function that draws a plot and then, depending on whether some arguments are TRUE or FALSE, draws various lines of text in the plot. The text lines may be turned on or off individually

R 1.7.1 on Windows XP The "normal Q-Q plot" produced by plot.lm() mislabels points when the model is fitted using na.action=na.exclude. Example: x <- 1:50 y <- x + rnorm(50) y[c(5,10,15)] <- NA # insert some NA's y[40] <- 50 # add an outlier plot(lm(y ~ x, na.action=na.omit)) # outlier correctly labeled in all # four plots

A minor inconvenience in updating an R installation is remembering which packages were installed previously. Has anyone written a script to inspect a previous installation, then get & install the same packages into the new installation? -- Michael Prager NOAA Center for Coastal Fisheries and Habitat Research Beaufort, North Carolina 28516 Opinions expressed are personal, not official.

Dear List, Is there a possibility to change the font-face for a part of the title of a plot? For example I have the following... plot(nirs, type="l", xlab="Wellenl?nge [nm]", col="darkslategray", main = "Spektrum Deschampsia caespitosa") ...and I would like to change the part of the title-string "Deschampsia caespitosa" to italics?

Dear R-helpers, I have found a slightly annoying problem when trying to plot lines on graphs. I first created my data using tapply, thus:- y1=as.vector(fit1$coef$random$id) x1=tapply(o1,id,median,na.rm=T) x2=tapply(o2,id,median,na.rm=T) #then I plot the data, thus:- plot(x1[x2==0],y[x2==0]) #if I now try to fit the linear regression, R 'hangs up'

I remember reading somewhere that locations on plots (in my case, arguments x and y for legend()) can be specified in several scales besides the usual data scale. I would like to set x and y as proportions of total plot size or something similar. Can anyone steer me to documentation on how to do it? -- Michael Prager, Ph.D. <Mike.Prager at noaa.gov> NOAA Center for
