Dear R-Users, I'd like to have some tips for a ternaryplot ("vcd"). I have this dataframe: a<- c (0.1, 0.5, 0.5, 0.6, 0.2, 0, 0, 0.004166667, 0.45) b<- c (0.75,0.5,0,0.1,0.2,0.951612903,0.918103448,0.7875,0.45) c<- c (0.15,0,0.5,0.3,0.6,0.048387097,0.081896552,0.208333333,0.1) d<- c (500,2324.90,2551.44,1244.50, 551.22,-644.20,-377.17,-100, 2493.04)

Numeric data that is part of a mixed type data frame is converted into character. How can I tell apply to maintain the original class of a column and not convert it into character. I would like to do this of the vector and not inside the apply function individually over each element. Consider the following two scenarios, in the second column 'a' maintained its class while it lost its

Hi all, I am drawing a ternary graph. Everything is fine with both ternaryplot (package vcd) and triangle.plot (package ade4), but I want to present scales in neither percents nor from 0 to 1 (this is actually the only option I found in both functions). I want the scales to be in a natural scale (from 0 to k, k being the number of objects). Is it at all possible? (Descriptions of both functions

Hello I am trying to add a ternary plot as a corner inset graph to a larger main ternary plot. I have successfully used add.scatter in the past for different kinds of plots but It doesn't seem to work for this particular function. It overlays the old plot rather than plotting as an inset. Here is a simple version of what I'm trying. Note that if I change the inset plot to be an ordinary

Hello list, I have two vectors x and x2: x=runif(10) x2=runif(10) and one vectors with their names : my.names=c("x","x2") I would like to cbind these two vectors using their names contained in the vector my.names. I can create a string with comma ncomma=paste(my.names,collapse=",") and now, I just need a function to transform this string into a adequate

Hello, suppose I have a list with matrices: a=list(x1=matrix(rnorm(10),5,2),x2=matrix(rnorm(10),5,2),x3=matrix(rnorm(10),5,2)) I want to compute for all combination of xi and xj (x1,x2 x1,x3 and x2,x3) a value. This value is given for the pair x1,x2 by trace(x1%*%t(x1)%*%x2%*%t(x2)) / trace(x1%*%t(x1))*trace(x2%*%t(x2)) I know that product matrices t(xi)%*%xi can be obtained by:

Hello list, Sorry, these questions are not directly linked to R. If I consider an indefinte real matrix, I would like to know if the symmetry of the matrix is sufficient to say that their eigenvectors are real ? And what is the conditions to ensure that eigenvectors are real in the case of an asymmetric matrix (if some conditions exist)? Thanks in Advance, St?phane DRAY

Hello, I have a question that is not directly related to R ... but I try to do it in R ;-) : I would like to generate a matrix Q satisfying (for a given Z, X and W) the two following conditions: t(Q)%*%Q=Z (1) XQ=W (2) where: Q is m rows and r columns X is p rows and m columns D is p rows and r columns C is r rows and r columns with m>p,r e.g: m=6, p=2 r=3

I'm in e-mail contact with a geochemist who maintains a well regarded geochemistry web site. He's drawing diagrams either with a Turbo Pascal program running in a DOS window or with Excel. I'm trying to persuade him that R would be a better choice. Something he's particularly keen on is ternary diagrams. I think he is talking about ternary phase diagrams, and if so, it looks as

I am not sure a previous e-mail reached the list (no mail aknowledgement from R-boundle etc.). The question was how to write polygon or segment coordinates into a shapefile set or any other ArcGIS supported format. The library shapefiles seems to do something but the documentation is a bit beyond of my mind.... and I cannot get the meaning of the functions write**** and its application to the case

Hi, I am trying to create a triangular plot to show the 'composition' of a set of items with three variables (historically the percent sand, silt and clay in soil). So far I have tried the 'soil texture triangle plot' in the package plotrix and the 'ternary or triangular plots' in the package cwhtool (cwhmisc). Both have strengths and weaknesses, but neither has a

I am new to R, so this is most likely a dumb question. I just installed the vcb package, but when I try to use a function from it (ternaryplot) I get an error message saying 'could not find function: ternaryplot'. I'm pretty confident that my script is correct, so I'm assuming that I did not properly install the package. Is there another step past downloading, and selecting

Hello list, I have used scan function to import data into R. I have done some analysis and find strange results. I have found my problem : when importing data with scan, this can slightly modify the data : > write(c(0.251,3.399,-0.481,0.266),"essai.txt") > scan("essai.txt") Read 4 items [1] 0.251 3.399 -0.481 0.266 > print(scan("essai.txt"),17) Read

Hi Now a more theoretical question. I have two correlation matrices - one of a set of variables under a particular condition, the other of the same set of variables under a different condition. Is there a statistical test I can use to see if these correlation matrices are "different"? Thanks Mick

Hello list, I have 3 matrices with same dimension : > veca=matrix(1:25,5,5) > vecb=matrix(letters[1:25],5,5) > vecc=matrix(LETTERS[1:25],5,5) I would like to obtain a new matrix composed by alternating rows of these different matrices (row 1 of mat 1, row 1 of mat 2, row 1 of mat 3, row 2 of mat 1.....) I have found a solution to do it but it is not very pretty and I wonder if I

Dear R-users How can I get the eigenvalues out of an lda analysis? thanks a lot christoph -- Christoph Lehmann <christoph.lehmann at gmx.ch>

Hi, I am looking for some code for Moran's I. Has anyone previously done this? I have been unable to find it in the search engines. James

Dear All, I am using the scatter.dudi finction in the 'ade4' package to produce correspondence analysis (nice) plots. I do not seem to figure out how to plot the raw coordinates only -- or column coordinates only. I would appreciate any help in doing that. Here is the example I am following -- from the package. data(banque) > banque.acm <- dudi.acm(banque, scann = FALSE, nf =

Does R have a function to calculate Bray-Curtis distance measures, which is probably one of the most frequently used and recommended dissimilarity measures in ecology? It isn't mentioned in dist().

Bonjour à tous, Je débute dans l'utilisation de R, et suis à la recherche de toute piste me permettant l'introduction à ce logiciel. J'ai pour le moment la fiche d'Emmanuel Paradis: "R pour les débutants", mais j'aimerais savoir où je peut trouver d'autres documentations notamment pour le traitement statistique de données (Anova, modèle linéaire et modèle
