hi all, I wish to draw on the same graphic device 3 functions. But i don't want them to be on different graph, i want to compare them on the same I don't need mfrow or mfcol, I need something else... 1 graph on 1 device inside this graph 3 ploted function. I saw something unsing data.frame, but i think it's overkill, and something less complicated must exist, if not why? why not

Hello useRs and helpRs, Some time ago, in a gallaxy far away (here is the thread : http://finzi.psych.upenn.edu/R/Rhelp02a/archive/46532.html ) we discussed about a graph gallery showing the power of R in that domain. I did some work around that, and there is a (pretty advanced) draft here : http://addictedtor.free.fr/graphiques/displayGallery.php For instance, there are some of my graphs,

Hello! A problem with special characters seemed to me to be a bug. I sent a mail to R-windows at r-project.org concerning the problem (see below). How can I find out, if this is considered as a bug or an error of myself? Which part of FAQs or documentation did I miss to find the answer? thanks in advance Heinz T??chler -------------------- copy of abovementioned mail ---------- to: R-windows

Dear All, it seems to me that the function read.spss of package foreign changed its behaviour regarding factors. I noted that in version 0.8-8 variables with value labels in SPSS were transformed in factors with the labels in alphabetic order. In version 0.8-10 they seem to be ordered preserving the order corresponding to their numerical codes in SPSS. However I could not find a description of

Hi, can you tel me how can I make a Forrest Plot with R? It is possible and easy or are there a more practical free software available? Than you Mic [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Hello, it seems that the main results of survival analysis with package survival are shown only as side effects of the print method. If I compute e.g. a Kaplan-Meier estimate by > km.survdur<-survfit(s.survdur) then I can simply print the results by > km.survdur Call: survfit(formula = s.survdur) n events median 0.95LCL 0.95UCL 100.0 58.0 46.8 41.0 79.3 Is

New to R, can't afford SPSS! Why can't I assign spss variables? Here are the details. > ### I've read in my collaborator's sav file using read.spss, eg > children = read.spss(filename) > ### It has many variables > length(children) [1] 347 > ### and I would like to assign individual variables. > ### I can of course type out all the ones I want, eg >

Dear All, to produce output of several columns of a data frame, I tried to use lapply and also l_ply. In both cases, I would like to print a header line containing also the name of the respective column in the data frame. For example, I would like the following lapply(data.frame(a=1:3, b=2:4), function(x) print(deparse(substitute(x)))) to produce: [1] "a" [1] "b" and

Dear All, where can I find information about how to write an assigment form of a function? For curiosity I tried to write a different form of the levels()-function, since the original method for factor deletes all other attributes of a factor. Of course, the simple method would be to use instead of levels(x) <- newlevels, attr(x, 'levels') <- newlevels. I tried the following: ##

Dear All! For descriptive purposes I would like to add attributes to objects. These attributes should be kept, even if by indexing only part of the object is used. I noted that some attributes like levels and class of a factor exist also after indexing, while others, like comment or label vanish. Is there a way to make an arbitrary attribute to be kept after indexing? This would be especially

Dear All, Assume I have a data.frame that contains also factors and I would like to get another data.frame containing the factors as numeric vectors, to apply functions like sapply(..., median) on them. I read the warning concerning as.numeric or unclass, but in my case this makes sense, because the factor levels are properly ordered. I can do it, if I write for each single column

Dear All, after searching on CRAN I got the impression that there is no standard way in R to label values of a numerical variable. Since this would be useful for me I intend to create such an attribute, at the moment for my personal use. Still I would like to choose a name which does not conflict with names of commonly used attributes. Would value.labels or vallabs create conflicts? The

Dear All, to my surprise as.factor does not accept a levels argument. Maybe I did not read the documentation well enough. See the example below. I wanted to use ch1 as factor in the newdata argument of survfit, so I assumed that I could write as.factor(ch1, levels=ch1), since the order should be kept. But as.factor(ch1, levels=ch1) results in the error: Error in as.factor(ch1, levels = ch1)

Hello list, I'd like to know if there is a function that tells in which package is a given function. Something like : which.package("lda") [1] "MASS" Thank you.

Dear all, Last December there was a thread regarding the famous FAQ 7.21 "How can I turn a string into a variable?" and asking what people want to do with these strings. My, certainly trivial application would be as follows: Assume I have a data.frame containing besides others also the columns f1, f2, ..., fn and I want to create a command like: apply(sapply(list(f1,f2,f3),is.na),2,sum)

[I tried to send this message privately, but the return address bounced.] I think this has been fixed in R-patched, but I doubt if the fix has been tested in Win98. Could you please download a copy from <http://cran.r-project.org/bin/windows/base/rpatched.html> and confirm that it has been fixed?

Dear All! If I pass an object to an assignment function I cannot get it's name by deparse(substitute(argument)), but I get *tmp* and I found no way to get the original name, in the example below it should be "va1". Is there a way? Thanks, Heinz ## example 'fu1<-' <- function(var, value) { print(c(name.of.var=deparse(substitute(var))))} fu1(va1) <- 3 name.of.var

Hello, still I have difficulties with variable names in functions. I know the famous example form help for deparse/substitute but I will give a simpler one to explain my problem. I know from Reid Huntsinger (Tue, 8 Feb 2005 12:39:32 -0500) that: "Semantically, R is pass-by-value, so you don't really have the names, just the values. In implementation, though, R *does* pass names, in part

Hello, applying a function to a list of variables I face the following problem: Let's say I want to compute tables for several variables. I could write a command for every single table, like bravo<-c(1,1,2,3,5,5,5,);charly<-c(7,7,4,4,2,1) table(bravo); table(charly) > table(bravo); table(charly) bravo 1 2 3 5 2 1 1 3 charly 1 2 4 7 1 1 2 2 The results are two tables with the
