variable object naming
Is it possible to give a temporary object a name that varies with each run of a foreloop? For example, I want to fill a matrix every time I run a loop, and I want a new matrix with each run, with an appropriate new name. i.e.: for(i in 1:5){... matrix.i<-some values ...} so that in the end I would have: matrix.1 matrix.2 matrix.3 matrix.4 matrix.5 Thanks, Ben Osborne -- Botany Department

na.strings in readLines or is.na?
When reading a data set into R using readLines, na.strings="-99.99" is ignored. Is there an equivalent command for readLines? Alternatively, either immediately after reading into R or once the data set has been converted to a data frame, what is the appropriate command (or appropriate use of is.na) to convert my -99.99s to NAs? Thanks, Ben Osborne -- Botany Department University of

AIC, AICc, and K
How can I extract K (number of parameters) from an AIC calculation, both to report K itself and to calculate AICc? I'm aware of the conversion from AIC -> AICc, where AICc = AIC + 2K(K+1)/(n-K-1), but not sure of how K is calculated or how to extract that value from either an AIC or logLik calculation. This is probably more of a basic statistics question than an R question, but I thank

R-squared in summary(lm...)
What is the difference between the two R-squareds returned for a linear regression by summary(lm...)? When might one report multiple vs. adjusted R-squared?

scaling axes when plotting multiple data sets
1) When adding additional data sets to a plot using "plot" followed by "lines", is there a way to automate the scaling of the axes to allow for all data sets to fit within the plot area? 2) I attempted to solve this by setting xlim=c(min(c(data1,data2,data3)),max(c(data1,data2,data3))) however, there are some NAs and Infs in these data sets, and min(data1) and max(data1) both

AIC, glm, lognormal distribution
I'm attempting to do model selection with AIC, using a glm and a lognormal distribution, but: fit1<-glm(BA~Year,data=pdat.sp1.65.04, family=gaussian(link="log")) ## gives the same result as either of the following: fit1<-glm(BA~Year,data=pdat.sp1.65.04, family=gaussian) fit1<-lm(BA~Year,data=pdat.sp1.65.04) fit1 #Coefficients: #(Intercept) Year2004 # -1.6341

calling objects in a foreloop
I want to organize outputs from several regressions into a handy table. When I try the following, each of my "fit_s" is replaces instead of read. Is there a way to read from the regression summaries that does not require writing separate lines of code for each? -Ben Osborne > fit1<-lm(dBA.spp16$sp2.dBA.ha~dBA.spp16$sp1.dBA.ha) >

chron: parsing dates into a data frame using a forloop
I have one data frame with a column of dates and I want to fill another data frame with one column of dates, one of years, one of months, one of a unique combination of year and month, and one of days, but R seems to have some problems with this. My initial data frame looks like this (ignore the NAs in the other fields): > mans[1:10,] date loc snow.new prcp tmin snow.dep tmax 1

coercing a list to a data frame, lists in foreloops
I have a set of time-series climate data with missing entries. I need to add rows for these missing entries to this data set. The only way I know to do this is unsing a foreloop, but this won't work on a list. I've tried to convert the list to a data frame, but that won't happen, either. I want to fill rows in this table: > newtest[10:15,] yrmos yearmo snow.sum snow.mean

Installing R 1.9.0 on OSX
I've downloaded and installed R 1.9.0 under OS X 10.3.3. I then removed my previous R 1.8.0 installation by following the instructions in the readme file, e.g., 1. drag the "StartR" icon into the Trash; 2) go inside your Home directory and search for the Library folder. Inside the Library folder in your Home directory you'll find a RAqua directory: drag the RAqua

Subset a data frame for plotting
Hello, I have a question regarding how to subset/select parts of a data frame (matrix) in order to plot data associated only with this subset. Specifically I have a large data frame in which one column contains ID values (dates), and other columns contain data I would like to plot (temperature, light, etc.). I would like to break up this large matrix so as to plot data associated

Simultaneous subscripts and superscripts
Dear List, I'd like to add text to a plot where a text symbol has both a superscript and subscript. For example, the variable S with a superscript 2 and a subscript t. I have been able to accomplish this using either expression( paste(S,atop(scriptstyle(2),scriptstyle(t))) ) or expression( {S[t]}^2 ) but the spacing isn't quite right (or rather what I'd like) using either of
