Dear List, After obtaining a second-hand PC and because XP costs too much, I installed Xandros 3.0 (based on Debian) but pretty easy to use if migrating from WinXP. Does anyone know how to install R on this OS? Thank you for your time, Tom Volscho ************************************ Thomas W.

Dear List, I have some projects where I use enormous datasets. For instance, the 5% PUMS microdata from the Census Bureau. After deleting cases I may have a dataset with 7 million+ rows and 50+ columns. Will R handle a datafile of this size? If so, how? Thank you in advance, Tom Volscho ************************************ Thomas W. Volscho Graduate Student Dept. of Sociology U-2068

Dear list, I am brand new to R and using Dalgaard's (2002) book Introductory Statistics with R (thus, some of my terminology may be incorrect). I am fitting regression models and I want to use Hurvich and Tsai's AICC statistic to examine my regression models. This penalty can be expressed as: 2*npar * (n/(n-npar-1)). While you can obtain AIC, BIC, and logLik, I want to impose the AICC

Hello all, I have a very large file (280k lines) containing three comma separated variables. The first variable is a 0 or 1 depicting a pass or fail. The other two are X and Y coordinates. Is there a good way I can represent this data in a chart/plot form other than using a 3d histogram? If I need to use the histogram, should I base my chart off the example contained in the RGL package? Thanks a

Dear R-users, Has anyone written a function for multifractal detrended fluctuation analysis? The "fractal" package does mono-fractal DFA, but not multifractal as far as I can tell. The MF-DFA approach is presented in: J. W. Kantelhardt, S. Zschiegner, E. Koscielny-Bunde, S. Havlin, A. Bunde, and H. E. Stanley, "Multifractal Detrended Fluctuation Analysis of

Hi, I am doing a small experiment to test if I can use MathJax ( official site: http://www.mathjax.org ) in R's html help pages (i.e. options(help_type='html')) and it seems working with some minor modifications. The screenshot (rendered by Firefox 4.0 beta and with STIX fonts) of the help page in html format with MathJax enabled is at the following url:

Hi folks, if you want to use MKL (the fast BLAS I have tested on my Thinkpad T410) with the R 2.14.0 built as Debian/Ubuntu packages available on CRAN mirror, the following tricks may works for without some known side-effects (likes openmp breaking issues), you may try to build your own libblas.so.3gf.0 with following command: $ gfortran -L/opt/intel/lib/intel64 -liomp5

Hello, and please excuse this off-topic question, but I have not been able to find an answer elsewhere. Consider a value Z that is calculated using the product (or ratio) of two means X_mean and Y_mean: Z=X_mean*Y_mean. More generally, Z=f(X_mean, Y_mean). The standard error of Z will be a function of the standard errors of the means of X and Y. I want to calculate this se of Z. Can someone

Hi, i have been running R 2.11 compiles with the goto blas libraries successfully for about a year. I am running Ubuntu 10.10 64 bit. However, recently I have been periodically getting a segfault when running R (and numpy -- also compiled against goto blas).

Hello everyone, I am trying to configure a Samba 2.2 server to allow users to mount their home directories (stored on a UNIX filesystem) from Windows after authenticating against a Windows 2000 Domain Controller. The Samba server is 2.2.3a compiled with acl support on Solaris 8. I think I am experiencing some (hopefully) basic configuration issues and can't seem to get it to work. I

Dear R-help Listers, The following two student competitions are of interests to the now many student R package developers. I'd appreciate your help in spreading them. #1. John M. Chambers Statistical Software Award 2018 The Statistical Computing Section of the American Statistical Association announces the competition for the John M. Chambers Statistical Software Award. In 1998 the

Hello! I'm setting up a fileserver, running RedHat and Samba 2.0.6. This server will support about 80 people in several different departments, who all work under the same main unit. Each of the smaller departments has different requirements as far as shared resources. So what I'd like to do is create a login.bat for each department, and have Samba use it based on the group membership

I am relatively new to NLME, so the solution to the problem I describe here may be obvious. But I've spent several days trying to get the right syntax to formulate random effects for this model appropriately. The full model is: nlme(a ~ a.mitscherlich(a.qe, a.max, lcp, light), data=light, fixed = a.max + a.qe + lcp ~ trt, random = a.max + a.qe + lcp ~ 1 | bench/line,

Hello all... I am just starting to teach myself Bayesian methods, and am interested in learning how to use UMacs. I've read the documentation, but the single example is a bit over my head at the level I am at right now. I was wondering if anyone has any simple examples they'd like to share. I've successfully done a couple of simple gibbs examples, but have had a hard time
