similar to: invalid for factors not really working

Dear all, I would like to inquire, if it is a desired feature that the combination with rbind() of two data frames with factors columns does not sort the factors levels of the combined data frame. > str(rbind(data.frame(a = factor(c(4, 3))), data.frame(a = factor(c(2, 1))))) 'data.frame': 4 obs. of 1 variable: $ a: Factor w/ 4 levels

Dear all, I am encountering a problem with lattice in the current version 0.14-13 with R version 2.4.0 on a Windows XP system. For example, histogram(~voice.part, singer) is not labeling the x labels according to the factor levels of voice.part, which it should do (and has done in former versions of lattice, as far as I remember). In addition, I get the warnings Warning messages: 1:

Full_Name: Stefan Albrecht Version: 2.2.0 OS: Windows XP Submission from: (NULL) (194.127.2.74) Dear all, in the new R 2.2.0, the matrix indexing has been changed. In my opinion, this leads to an inconsistency when indexing one-row matrices. Take > (mat <- matrix(1:9, nrow = 3, dimnames = list(paste("r", 1:3, sep = ""), paste("c", 1:3, sep = ""))))

Maybe this helps, too. readExcel <- function(row.names = 1, check.names = FALSE, ...) read.delim("clipboard", row.names = row.names, check.names = check.names, ...) writeExcel <- function(x, check.rows = FALSE, check.names = FALSE, ...){ df <- data.frame(x, check.rows = check.rows, check.names = check.names) write.table(df, "clipboard", sep = "\t",

Hi, I am using Sweave for chapters in my thesis that contain results. In the beginning of each chapter, I use this to load libraries I need. <<init,echo=FALSE,quiet=TRUE>>= library(gplots) library(Hmisc) library(e1071) @ What I want is, of course, to supress messages written by this code, but what I get in the end is X-init.tex with this the contents below. How do I really supress

Hi all, I have a problem using rdirichlet{gtools}. For Dir( a1, a2, ..., a_n), its mode can be found at $( a_i -1)/ ( \sum_{i}a_i - n)$; The means are $a_i / (\sum_{i} a_i ) $; I tried to study the above properties using rdirichlet from gtools.
