Dear R users, using dotplot (R1.2.0, WinNT4.0), I am trying to change the character size of the labels of the points: > # example > data(VADeaths) > dotplot(VADeaths, main = "Death Rates in Virginia - 1940") > # I'd like to have smaller character size of the labels (for age and population groups) > ?dotplot > # for argument "cex", this says:

Dear R-users, I am using R version 2.9.1 and lattice 0.17-26 under windows. In a lattice boxplot, I would like to add information on how many observations each singel boxplot is based upon. For example (the basic plot): # Begin R-code library(lattice) dat <- data.frame(panvar = rep(c("A","B","A","B"), c(3,7,4,6)), grp = rep(c("grp1",

Dear r-helpers! I have trouble reading data from an Oracle data base using RODBC Version 1.0-3, R Version 1.7.1, Windows XP, Oracle8 ODBC Driver Version 8.1.6.4.0: > library(RODBC) > channel <- odbcConnect(dsn="PAV32", case="oracle", believeNRows=FALSE) > # ok, this was succesful > x <- sqlTables(channel) > x[37, ] TABLE_CAT TABLE_SCHEM TABLE_NAME

Dear R users! I am using R Version 1.7.1, Windows XP, package "foreign" (Version: 0.6-1), SPSS 11.5.1. There is one thing I noticed with "read.spss", and I'd like to ask if this is considered to be a feature, or possibly a bug: When reading character columns, character strings seem to get filled with blanks at the end. Simple example: In SPSS, create a file with one

Dear R community, I am using function 'within' in R.2.9.1 to add variables to an existing data.frame. This works wonderful, except for one minor point: The new variables are added to the data in reverse order. For example: x <- data.frame(a = 1:3, b = 4:6) y <- within(x, { c = a^2 d = b^2 e = c+d } ) gives a b e d c 1 1 4 17 16 1 2 2 5 29 25 4 3 3 6 45 36 9

Dear R-users! I am using R 1.7.0, under Windows XP. Having some hospital discharge data (admission date and discharge date for each patient), I want to get the number of patients in the hospital on a given date. My data look like (simple example): > x <- data.frame(patid=c("pat1", "pat2"), adm.date = c("15.03.2002", "16.03.2002"),

Dear R-users! I would like to search for "association rules" (and compute support and confidence, for example) in a data set, and wonder if this can be done with R (version 1.5.0 for Windows)? Particulary, I wonder if a) anyone has done something like that with R or b)maybe someone has written an R-interface to some existing algorithm/software (e.g. to something like the

Hello, I am working with R version 2.10.1 under windows. In a text file, I need to replace all characters at certain column positions with blanks. For example, say the file contains two lines and looks like this: ab34cd78e fg3 hi78j I'd like to replace everything at positions 3-4 and 7-8 with blanks, so the output should be: ab cd e fg hi j [I'm not sure if this is really an R

Dear R-users, I am working with R version 2.10.1. Say I have is a simple function like this: > my.fun <- function(x, mult) mult*sum(x) Now, I want to apply this function along with some other (say 'max') to a simple data.frame, like: > dat <- data.frame(x = 1:4, grp = c("a","a","b","b")) Ideally, the result would look something like

[adapted repost of question http://tolstoy.newcastle.edu.au/R/e4/help/08/03/6260.html] Dear R community, by default, text in the strips of a trellis plot is centered in the strip. Is there a way to have the text left-aligned? For example: library(lattice) test <- data.frame(x=rnorm(100), y=rnorm(100), a=rep(c("A: centered text","B: centered text"),50)) xyplot(y ~ x | a,

Hello, does anyone have experience with reading SPSS Version 15.0 files into R (version 2.4.1, WinXP)? I have long been sucessfully reading SPSS files with read.spss from the wonderful foreign package, but somehow after upgrading from SPSS14 to SPSS15 I seem to have problems. Trying a simple example, where test.sav is a SPSS 15.0 data file consisting of x1=c(1,2,3) and

Dear R-community, using R.2.9.1, how do you put reference lines or grids into the _background_ of a plot? For example: barplot(3:1) abline(h = seq(0.5, 2.5 ,0.5), col = "red", lty = "dashed") -> The lines are before the bars (and the line parts going through the bars might be considered as "chart junk", I suppose). Now, in this toy example I could just do the

Dear R-people! I am using R 1.8.0, under Windows XP. While using ISOdate() and strptime(), I noticed the following behaviour when "wrong" arguments (e.g., months>12) are given to these functions: > ISOdate(year=2003,month=2,day=20) #ok [1] "2003-02-20 13:00:00 Westeurop?ische Normalzeit" > ISOdate(year=2003,month=2,day=30) #wrong day, but returns a value [1]

Dear R-users! I am using R 1.7.0, under Windows XP; I also have Internet Explorer 6.0.2600.0000, Norton AntiVirus 7.60.926. Our firewall seems to want to "protect" me from downloading precompiled packages for Windows. When I try to download packages, like http://cran.at.r-project.org/bin/windows/contrib/1.7/RODBC_1.0-3.zip for example, I am not allowed to and get a message like this:

Ok, one last try. R1.2.0, WinNT 4.0: [R is installed in: R_HOME=D:\Programme\R\rw1020] Can anyone give a hint what the following error message (when running Rcmd INSTALL) means and what to do about it? cd D:\Programme\R\rw1020\src\library D:\Programme\R\rw1020\bin\rcmd install testfunctions make: Entering directory `/cygdrive/d/Programme/R/rw1020/src/gnuwin32' dlltool -k --as as --dllname

Dear R users, this is a question for R version 1.2.0 under Windows NT 4.0, regarding the documentation of ones own functions. I have ceated a private library for my functions, which works all very well, apart from that I am not able to create appropriate help files. For illustration, here is a simple example of where I'm stuck: > # first, create a simple function f1: > f1 <-

Hello I was wondering if it was possible to enter R commands from an external text file. If it is possible, it will be easy for repetetive tasks. Does anyone have an idea ? thanks in advance Ahmet Temiz TURKEY ______________________________________ ______________________________________ The views and opinions expressed in this e-mail message are ...{{dropped}}

Indeed, there is no file named "dlltool" anywhere around here! So, at last I am beginning to suspect that my collection of tools is incomplete. What I have got is "rw1020sp.zip" and "http://www.stats.ox.ac.uk/pub/bdr/RWin/tools.zip". These are properly istalled, I think. readme.packages says "If your package has no C nor Fortran nor C++ sources, see `Simple

Hi, Is it possible to get the remote channelname that will be bridged when the call is answered, only having the channel that is in the Ring(ing) state? As far as I can see no variable seems to fit when doing the show channel command. I want to be able to redirect/manipulate an incoming call before it gets answered/bridged, but to do that I have to now which channel to use. Is there a way?

I am using R1.4.0 on WindowsNT (the precompiled version from Brian Ripley's website) and the lattice package (version details are at the end of this message). After producing a lattice dotplot, I want to insert the graph into a MicrosoftWord document. With "ordinary" R-graphics, I have done this successfully by copying the graph as a metafile to the clipboard and pasting this into my
