I have been struggling with this problem for a while and I hope someone could help me. Or if someone could point me to a section in the manual I would be grateful. x <- "my" plot(1:10, main=expression(paste( x, Delta, "values" ))) Q : How do I get the title to say "my (triangle symbol) values" ? The following trial-and-error produced mainly errors :

This seems like a bug to me. Can someone verify this? First we define a function f that returns its second argument and lapply it to 1:2 using 9 as the second argument and all seems well. Note that "{" as a function does the same thing as f, as illustrated with f(1,9) and "{"(1,9); however, when we attempt to use "{" in the very same way we used f in lapply,

Hi, I clustered a distance matrix and would like to draw it using plot.hclust or plot.dendrogram. The dendrogram is not informative because I have a few extremely small dissimilarities in the distance matrix (e.g. 0), but most of the other distances are in the range 1e10+-5000. I would like to show the tree only for the height of 1e10+-5000 but unfortunately their are no parameter like

Hi, Is the ordering of the values returned something on what I can rely on, a form of a standard, that a function called unique in R (in futher versions) will return the uniq elements in order of they first occurcence. > x<-c(2,2,1,2) > unique(x) [1] 2 1 Its seems not to be the standard. E.g. matlab >> x=[2,2,1,2] x = 2 2 1 2 >> unique(x) ans =

Hi, Please consider the following trivial example. In the sample code I first define a class MVCa using composition. This class contains a slot of type list. Next I define an inheritance relation using the function setIs -> MVCa "is a" list. Then I define a function printlength which prints the list-length which is defined for the type "list". If I call this function

Hello, I try to document some R scripts for my collegues and observed the problem, that Sweave strips comment lines away. As a small example I write in an Rtex file: \begin{Scode} ## a small example test() # line comment \end{Scode} ... the .tex file generated by Sweave only contains: \begin{Schunk} \begin{Sinput} test() \end{Sinput} \end{Schunk} ... and all the comments are lost.

Hello there, My name is Lisa and I'm doing analysis using genelized linear model-GEE model because I have some repeated measurements on the same patients (in a bilateral eye disease case). It would be very appreciated if you could shed some light on what function to use in R. Thank you very much Lisa Wang Msc. Toronto,Ca

Hi all; Just to ask you for your advise about what is the best way to get the best quality for graphics to be incorporated into a printed article (I'm mainly a Linux useR, but also use the windows R version) Thanks and best regards, Javier Garcia

Hi, I'm just getting started with R and I'm having problems with some simple operations: I want to get the the sum of the column "SStot" for each year using the function by. The data set is named "SS". I've tried this: by (SS, year, sum(SStot)) and it's not working. Is it because there's a different number of rows for each year? How else can I do

Hey everyone, I have been looking for a while for ways to integrate R's wonderful functions into my C++ software, but I have not found anything concrete. So finally, i post to this list to see if anyouse else knows about this, or has done it!? Is it possible? Are there C++ or C R libraries? Or is it sufficiently easy to build them? your help is much appreciated! thanks doktora

Hi, I am using R to plot the graph and the problem I am facing with my graph is that I have lots of points concentrated in one area and It is creating a visualization challenge. Is there any commands in R I could use to solve this problem. Even if there is no command, do you know how I could tackle this problem...(I want to separate these points so I could see each of them...) Any help is much

Hi, I have been using R for a few months now and I am confident that the language has everything I will need to complete my PhD. I can create functions, script files and packages, but I would like to write my programs more efficiently (maybe using OO). Can anyone recommend a good book on the "art" of good R programming? Kind Regards, Sam.

Hi, Would like to use to the hexbin package to plot a 2D hist - because it looks really _cool_. My problem is related to drawing a pdf hexbin graphic in series of other graphics. All other figures have a par(mar=c(3.2,3.2,1,1)). So the gplot.hexbin figure in this series looks a little alienated? Was trying a to specify the _mar_ using par, viewport, hexViewport etc. a little. My question. How

Hi- I used to use "<<-" to do assignment inside a class method, and just found that now it is broken in R 2.0. For example, the following code ----------------------------------------------------------------------- setClass( "myclass", representation(x="numeric") ) setGeneric("incrXByOne", function(obj) standardGeneric("incrXByOne"))

Hi, I want to draw a scatter plot with 1M and more points and save it as pdf. This makes the pdf file large. So i tried to save the file first as png and than convert it to pdf. This looks OK if printed but if viewed e.g. with acrobat as document figure the quality is bad. Anyone knows a way to reduce the size but keep the quality? /E -- Dipl. bio-chem.

I have data in i,j,r format, where r is the value in location A[i,j] for some imaginary matrix A. I need to build this matrix A, but given the sizes of i and j, I believe that using a sparse format would be most adequate. Hopefully this will allow me to perform some basic matrix manipulation such as multiplication, addition, rowsums, transpositions, subsetting etc etc. Is there any way
