Hi All: This follows my earlier post on webized slides on lecture presentation on introducing R. I learned that in Mozilla (Firefox) browsers, the slides did not show up. Sorry for the no show. As a reluctant windows user, I kind of carelessly clicked through Powerpoint to convert the presentation file to its html form, unwittingly leading to the mess. See if it got corrected now (I do not have

Hi All: I have written an R search plug-in based on Prof Jonathan Baron's R search site. This Firefox/Netscape plug-in lets you search R sites and R discussion group archives directly from your Mozilla (Seamonkey) or Firefox or Netscape browser. Here is the link to the installer for the plug-in: http://arinbasu.bravehost.com/installer.html If you want the source files or have other comments

Hi All: I was recently working with a dataset on arsenic poisoning. Among the variables in the dataset, I used the following three variables to produce crosstabulations (variable names: FOLSTAT, GENDER, ASBIN; all three were categorical variables, FOLSTAT denoted follow up status for the subjects and had seven levels, GENDER denoted sex (two levels: male,female), and ASBIN denoted binarized

Hi All: Recently, I got a query how R compared cost-wise (cost of purchase, maintenance, and training manuals) with other proprietary statistical software programs (or programming environments). The request, verbatim: <--- begin quote ----> >> dear arin, >> >> can you please find out the price of the various >> prop. statistical >> packages that are in

Hi All: I came across the following problem while working with a dataset, and wondered if there could be a solution I sought here. My dataset consists of information on 402 individuals with the followng five variables (age,sex, status = a binary variable with levels "case" or "control", mma, dma). During data check, I found that in the raw data, the data entry

Hi All: I am working on a dataset of a study on healthcare workers. One of the variables I am studying is a categorical variable (variable name:EDUC, indicates educational achievement, with 6 levels: "illiterate", "primary", "junior high school", "high school completed", "undergraduate", and "postgraduate"). I want to collapse the

Dear List: Somewhere in the R-Statistical Software website, I remember having read about using the opensource Bluefish editor with R. During a recent visit to the site, I could not find the link or reference. Also, when I searched the list archives (http://maths.newcastle.edu.au/~rking/R/about.html) for "bluefish", the search returned no result. Has anyone in the list used

This works for me on Centos 5.6. It may assist newcomers to the Linux world of Centos. whois 51.51.51.51 produces a normal and conventional display of data. However since ARIN, the North American registrar of IP addresses, "modernised" its WHOIS processing, a query to whois 64.64.64.64 will produce a one line summary of possible matches, which always includes ARIN, but omits the

Hi All: I am working with a dataset on Arsenic toxicity, and I am trying to calculate the 20th, 40th, 60th, 80th, and highest percentiles for a variable, dietary Moisture (variable name dMoist). The inbuilt function quantile(dMoist) would print 0, 25th, 50th, 75th, and 100th percentile. Does there exist a function that can calculate xth percentile (where x = 10th, 20th, ... etc) values?

Hey, all. I'm looking for packages that are good at two things 1) Drawing directed graphs (i.e nodes and edges), both with single and double headed arrows, as well as allowing for differences in line width and solid versus dashed. Note: I've tried Rgraphviz here, but have run into some problems (which seem fixable and I may go with it in the end), and it doesn't satisfy need

In a nutshell and very first of all, you need at least 2 internet connections. Those ISP must be willing to setup BGP peering between your routers and theirs. Once that agreement has been made, you need to get their AS Numbers and submit the ASN request located on ARIN's website (http://www.arin.net). After some paperwork and money exchanges, ARIN assigns you an AS number. At that point,

Hi All: Is a distribution of R version 2.3.1 (the current version) available for the Ubuntu Linux? If I want to build a .deb package for R-2.3.1 for Ubuntu, are there specific requirements that I should be aware of? Is a tutorial available? I searched the web, and the repositories, but oculd not locate an appropriate file. TIA, Arin Basu

Hi All, I am scheduled to teach a graduate course on research methods in health sciences at a university. While drafting the course proposal, I decided to include a brief introduction to R, primarily with an objective to enable the students to do data analysis using R. It is expected that enrolled students of this course have all at least a formal first level introduction to quantitative methods

Dear Group: I am working with a data frame containing 316 rows of individuals with 79 variables. Each of these 79 variables have values that range between -4 to +4, and I want to subset this data frame so that in the resulting new dataframe, values of _all_ of these variables should range between -3 and +3. Let's say I have the following dataframe (it's a toy example with 4 individuals
