similar to: Advice about system for installing & updating all R package in a Linux Lab?

If you have several different versions of R installed, you might want to use a script like this one, which should work on (at least) 1.9.1 and newer. <script> #!/bin/sh echo "##############" echo "## This script will attempt to install all available R packages" echo "## from the package repositories:" echo "##" echo "## - CRAN:

OK, my journey to make lab machines automagically install & update all desirable R packages is nearing an end! The only question I have now is this: How can I control where the system prints the *.Rout file that is created automatically when the R batch program runs. In "man R" I don't find any information about it. When the cron job runs "R_installAll.sh" (see

Hi, after updating to 2.1 (see below) I am no longer able to install all R packages as mentioned at <http://support.stat.ucla.edu/view.php?supportid=30>. After finishing the download, I received the following error: [...] trying URL 'http://www.stats.ox.ac.uk/pub/RWin/bin/windows/contrib/2.1/xgobi_1.2- 13.zip' Content type 'application/zip' length 102623 bytes opened

I'm working up a set of small working examples in R to show what various distributions are and the beauty of the central limit theorem. Those example programs are in this directory: http://lark.cc.ukans.edu/~pauljohn/R/ExampleCode/ You can feel free to use those if you want, or you can send me other small working example code for R. The key here is small, self contained things that

I have a linux system with Fedora Core 2 and R-2.0. I was comparing plots made with plot() and dotplot() and discovered a problem. Although the dots are positioned correctly, the numerical labels in the dotplot y axis are not correct. I put copies here: http://lark.cc.ku.edu/~pauljohn/R/plotTrouble1.jpg That is the "correct" one from plot, with the higest value on y showing at 18.

Dear Friends in R: On RedHat linux, R-1.1, I've gotten far enough to create the graph that shows on the screen with 3 lines, but I have some trouble. Here is the way I created the three "overlaid" graphs: data<-read.table("DataCulture0",header=T,as.is = TRUE) attach(data) tmp1<-plot(acquaint~T,type='l', ylim=c(0,1),ylab="average

HDF5 is a high quality data storage format from NCSA (http://hdf.ncsa.uiuc.edu/index.html) Marcus Daniels of the Swarm Development Group has made available an R library called hdf5 which allows loading and saving of data in hdf5 format. The source for his library is here: ftp://ftp.swarm.org/pub/swarm/src/testing/hdf5_1.4.7.tar.gz I prefer to use RPMs to maintain software across many linux

I have made a plot with a legend and on the screen it looks fine, but when I save as jpg or pdf, or print, the legend box is too small, it cuts through the words on the right side. I put an example here: http://lark.cc.ukans.edu/~pauljohn/R/apdftest.pdf Is there a work around? -- Paul E. Johnson email: pauljohn at ukans.edu Dept. of Political Science

On a RedHat 7.3 system with R-1.6.1, I did this > x11(width=3.5,height=4,colortype="gray") Then plotted (with matplot) a nice looking no-color graph on the screen, then I did this: > dev.copy2eps(file="test.eps",height=4,width=3.5) I was surprised that the output in the eps file included the colored lines from the plot, even though the screen device was set to

Using RedHat Linux 7.0, R-1.2.2, R-hdf5-1.2 library, I want to load a dataset, do some stuff with it, then erase its objects, get an other, repeat. My friend wrote a function which tried to clear away all the objects. At the end, it uses rm() to remove objects. This is the same way we do it interactively, from the R prompt: testLoadSeveralHDF <- function(numFiles) { for (i in

Dear Everybody: I have Fedora Core 2 and R-1.9.0 does not build "out of the box". After applying the daily patch file R-release.diff, I find it does build and I've made RPMS and SRPM. In case you want to save yourself a recompile, you can find Fedora Core RPMs in here: http://lark.cc.ku.edu/~pauljohn/software/R These are based on the standard R distribution SPEC file, only

Dear colleagues: I've been storing up this question for a long time and apologize for the length and verbosity of it. I am having trouble in consulting with graduate students on their research projects. They are using surveys to investigate the sources of voter behavior or attitudes. They have predictors that are factors, some ordered, but I am never confident in telling them what

Running R 1.1 on RedHat Linux 6.2. I need to write a shell script that goes through a bunch of directories of simulation output, creating summary files that have the mean and standard deviation of the variables found in the data files in each directory. I've got the R code doing almost the right thing. It reads in data, then gets the mean and standard deviation for the numeric variables,

I handed out some results from glm() and the students ask "how many observations were dropped due to missing values"? How would I know? In other stat programs, the results will typically include N and the number dropped because of missings. Without going back to R and fiddling about to find the total number of rows in the dataframe, there is no way to tell. Somewhat

Greetings I'm new to R. I became interested in it because my friends at the Swarm Development Team at the Santa Fe Institute have been using/developing R to work as a front end for HDF5 datasets. >From looking at the RPMS for R, I got the idea they were compiled without support for HDF5. Correct? If you are interested in the HDF5 data format and R, on my page I have RPMS for HDF5 and

Dear List: I am estimating a gls model and am having to make some rather unconventional modifications to handle a particular problem I have identified. My aim is to fit a GLS with an AR1 structure, obtain the variance-covariance matrix (V), modify it as needed given my research problem, and then reestimate the GLS by brute force using matrix operations. All seems to be working almost perfectly,

It seems like every time I try to do something a little different, I cannot get output saved just right. This is on RedHat 7.2 with R 1.4.1. The png output looks fine, but the eps output has the problem that the bounding box on the legend cuts the legend in half. I put a copy of a bad one here: http://lark.cc.ukans.edu/~pauljohn/ResearchPapers/meanProtest-box.eps When I asked about these

Dear everybody: HDF5, a dataset formatting library, and R that is built with it, have been uploaded to ftp://ftp-fis.iarc.fr/pub/incoming. The R RPM uses the spec file created by Martyn Plummer as a starting point, and makes only a few trivial changes. -rw-rw-r-- 1 ftp 100 3416612 Oct 6 17:45 R-base-with-hdf5-0.65.1-1.i386.rpm -rw-rw-r-- 1 ftp 100 2300453 Oct 6 17:48

I'm getting some abuse for asking about R-Gnome and I don't think it is fair. I did not create that project, I was just asking how it was going and whether that other project would help out. Now I'm getting some email that says some of you don't want a GUI interface because you think interfaces like that are inconvenient. OK. I agree, in most cases. I think GUIs for model

Last Friday, I noticed that it is difficult to work with regression models in which there are factors. It is easier to do the old fashioned thing of coding up "dummy" variables with 0-1 values. The predict function's newdata argument is not suited to insertion of hypothetical values for the factor, whereas it has no trouble with numeric variables. For example, if one uses a
