Hi All: A couple of weeks back, I asked a question on the list that I was invited to provide an introductory lecture on R to a group of academicians in Kolkata. I thank all of you who had generously guided me in providing me web links and words to the wise. Time to give back. I did the presentation on introduction to R and uploaded the presentation files at the following site:

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

Hey all, I'm looking for a plotting method for two-mode networks. Having a n x m matrix where n is the first set of entities/ actors and m representing the second set, I want to colour both sets of actors differently. I tried "plot.network" from the network-package, but I did not succeed. Even the proposed solution from Gabor Grothendiek

Dear all! Ive got a problem with rsync on a w2k machine! I run this rsync -r "\\c/UTILS/" "unixmachine:/home/myuser" The message I get from the machine is unixmachine: remshd: Login incorrect. rsh.exe: can't establish connection read error: Connection reset by peer The rsh command works fine with the actual configuration eg. rsh unixmachine -l myuser ls

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

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?

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

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

G'day, I am new user to R, and have been thrown in the deep end with a something my company want me to write. my code is as follows: kenttemp=read.csv("mnowak.11.1.csv") rows=nrow(kenttemp)-5 kent=kenttemp[1:rows,] #have to remove the last 5 lines of the graph as they interfere with rest of data max(kent[,16],na.rm=TRUE)->ymax ymax=ymax+200 #This is to get

Hi Icecast-Mailing-Group, I am going to hold a lecture about the audiostreaming technology (Icecast) we are using at our University Radio Station. The lecture is broadcasted to the internet and it is taking place tomorrow, June 29th, starting at 17:30 (5:30 p.m.) CEST. Unfortunately the lecture is going to be in German but at least it might be interesting to all the German Icecast User. Find more

Dear useRs, there has been some interest on this list into material about the presentations at useR! 2004. The slides from the keynote lectures are now available from the conference web page at http://www.ci.tuwien.ac.at/Conferences/useR-2004/ thanks to the R-core team members who were willing to give the talks and provide their pdf-slides. For the user-contributed presentations, there are

hello, i have a question about the documentation: oggenc --help says: -b, --bitrate Choose a nominal bitrate to encode at. Attempt to encode at a bitrate averaging this. Takes an argument in kbps. This uses the bitrate management engine, and is not recommended for most users. See -q, --quality for a

Hi Gang We migrated our voicemail system from asterisk 13 to 16 a couple of months ago. Right after the migration, we got the complaint that vm-intro is being played when the customer had recorded a own announcement. So I assumed we had replaced that file by a zero lenght one on the previous installation and did the same to suppress that surplus intro. Now I got the opposite complaint: If the

Hi Guys, I'm using the icecast-2.1-kh5 for the intro feature. The intro works, but after the intro it stops. It does not go on with the stream. When I comment the intro part, the stream works perfectly. Does anybody know what I can do to solve this problem? -- Met vriendelijke groeten, Jesper Weiland Exonet Internet Services Koopmanslaan 3 7005 BK Doetinchem E: Jesper@exonet.nl T:

If it's Ogg Vorbis, it should be able to cope. Now it is! It had a different samplerate. Now it works. :-) Thanks! -- Met vriendelijke groeten, Jesper Weiland Exonet Internet Services Koopmanslaan 3 7005

Hi, I admit that I rather carelessly built lots of large objects and therefore ran out of memory. Most objects, which I have at the moment are now unnecessary, but it would take a lot of time to recreate the last few ones from scratch. So I would like to erase (get rid of) selected objects in order to be able to continue. Does anyone know how I could do this? Machen Sie aus 14 Cent spielend bis
