similar to: Is a .R script file name available inside the script?

Dear List, Hopefully someone will point me to a piece of documentation that I have overlooked. I am running Rscript successfully to read and execute an R program, but have failed to find the correct syntax to route the output to a file using the Rscript command that invokes the job. I tried Rscript -e 'sink("outputfile")' script.R , but it then ignored the scriptfile. I know

Hi, I'm trying to run on Windows 7 a scriptfile with Rscript.exe from within Excel 2010 with the following code: Call Shell(rPath & "\Rscript.exe C:\Work\Latest\_Test.R", vbHide) The good news is: the above code works perfectly, but ... If I add white spaces to my map directory, like: Call Shell(rPath & "\Rscript.exe C:\Work\Latest 1\_Test.R", vbHide) In the

Hello, WRE contains the following information about the "exec" subdirectory of a package : "Subdirectory exec could contain additional executables the package needs, typically scripts for interpreters such as the shell, Perl, or Tcl. This mechanism is currently used only by a very few packages, and still experimental." I think it would be useful to expand "very

I am a beginner in R and know only a little about it yet. I have a script written in R language, named as "a.txt" for example. I am using a Linux machine, at present I only know that I can type "R" in the terminal and then copy-paste the content in "a.txt" to the R's interface to execute the program. However, I want to know if there is any method that allows me to

Hi, I can't find a simple command to switch the plot colors from paper to presentation formats. Has anyone defined styles that can be easily applied in one command? It would be nice to have a command for papers, using ps or eps outputs, that has a white background and colors that will print nicely on that. On the other hand, it would be nice to have exactly the same plot for a presentation

Dear Prof. Ripley et al., I have a data frame with some variable names that contain the underscore character ('_'). It seems that RODBC is not converting them to a suitable variable name for MySQL. > sqlSave(channel, zz, addPK = TRUE, verbose = TRUE) Query: CREATE TABLE zz (rownames varchar(255) PRIMARY KEY, NAME varchar(255), ID varchar(255), GROUP varchar(255), OAC_RT double,

I have some questions about 1. nomenclature, 2. recommended file locations and 3. overall procedure related to creating packages. To the extent that it matters, examples here relate to Windows XP R 2.0.1 beta. The questions are interspersed and prefaced with ***. My understanding is that there are actually 6 forms of a package that one should use in package development: 1.

Hi, are there any good charting and analysis tools for use with currencies, stocks, etc. in R? I have some tools to download currency data from the NYFRB using python and XML. Can we get and parse an XML download using R? Can we have interaction in R plots? Does anyone use R for back-testing trading strategies? Are there any forums for discussion of using R for this specific purpose (apart

Dear Luke and others, I have many R versions on my machine and want to start a particular one when snow builds its cluster. (The same version I start snow from.) It seems that everything is set up correctly in defaultClusterOptions: > mget(ls(defaultClusterOptions), defaultClusterOptions) $homogeneous [1] TRUE $manual [1] FALSE $master nodename "maya.unil.ch" $outfile [1]

I have Windows XP build scripts that look for R in a variety of folders and if multiple ones are found, takes the last one. For example, I currently have the following in \Program Files\R : rw1060 rw1062 rw1071 rw1071beta rw1081 rw1090 rw1090dev rw1091 rw1091pat rw2000 rw2001beta Note that it currently correctly gets rw2001beta but if I add rw2001 then it will not pick it up since

Dear R experts: I am a bit stymied by how the argument picking-off works in R batch file usage. $ cat commandArgs.R cat(" Command Line Arguments were ", commandArgs(), "\n"); $ /usr/bin/R CMD BATCH commandArgs.R --args 1 2 3 $ /usr/bin/R --args 1 CMD BATCH commandArgs.R ... I am now getting into interactive mode ?! I guess it really is skipping the rest of the command line

With respect to calculating the epsilon index of sphericity for ANOVA, discussed on pp. 45-47 of: http://www.psych.upenn.edu/~baron/rpsych.pdf It notes that epsilon is not required for a repeated measures design with only k=2 levels, as the minimum value of epsilon (e) is given by: e = 1/(k-1) so for k=2, we have e = 1 (ie, no correction of the F test df; see p. 46). These notes apply to a

Hi all, The call parallel::makeCluster(1L) hangs infinitely on my MacOS machine which seems to be already reported by some people (e.g., https://stat.ethz.ch/pipermail/r-devel/2018-February/075565.html). However, the solutions posted on SO, GH or R-devel do not work in my case. So far, I unsuccessfully tested ? 1. Couple of reboots 2. Adding 192.0.0.1 to /etc/hosts 3. Using R.app

Hi, I'm trying to execute R-script from Python. I'm using R 2.7.2, Python 2.5 and WinXP. I don't won't to use Python/R interface because of nature of project.

Hey Folks, I''ve written a script to generate a list of all files on a machine, then zip the results. ?I''m going to stick a web front end on it, and use it to audit some file servers. The problem is that the ZIP compression/decompression isn''t working, but its not what you might think. ?The script completes, but seems to not actually write anything. Here is a short

Hi, I'm stuck on creating a plot with x tick labels for every Nth tick mark - how is that done? I don't see a simple solution to this in help(plot) or help(par) and what I've tried is not working, eg, the following does not work, although it seems intuitive to me that it should work: x <- seq(-100,1000,25) y <- x * x % find all the x values that are multiples of 100 tmp <-

Hi, On windows I'd like to run a batchfile that leaves me a plot. As a test I have the scriptfile "test.r" which only contains: x <- 1:10; y <- sample( 10 ) plot( x, y ) Now I tried the following (but nothing worked): a) "R --vanilla < test.r" in the cmd window, => that doesn't give me a plot b) the same, but I added
