Dear R list, I have installed R 2.1.1 for Windows. In the help menu of the Rgui I can load all manuals except the reference manual. I downloaded the reference manual from the cran-site separately and saved it into the same folder as the other manuals but still it is not available in the menu. How can I solve this problem? Thank your for the help

Hi to you all My question is: there is a package written in UNIX for which there is no Mac version. I would like to know if it's possible to install the R UNIX version on the MacOSX and run that UNIX package on my Mac (through this UNIX R Vresion on a Mac) I have seen a porfile for r version 1.8.1 on darwin: http://r.darwinports.com/ is that it? aother question related to that if it's

Hello I will be applying MDS (actually Isomap) to make a psychological "concept map" of the similarities between N concepts. I would like to scale to a large number of concepts, however, the resulting N*(N-1) pairwise similarities is prohibitive for a user survey. I'm thinking of giving people random subsets of the pairwise similarities. Does anyone have recommendations for this

Dear all, I'm performing RDA on plant presence/absence data, constrained by geographical locations. I'd like to constrain the RDA by the "extended matrix of geographical coordinates" -ie the matrix of geographical coordinates completed by adding all terms of a cubic trend surface regression- . This is the command I use (package vegan): >rda(Helling ~

Canberra distance is defined in function `dist' (standard library `mva') as sum(|x_i - y_i| / |x_i + y_i|) Obviously this is undefined for cases where both x_i and y_i are zeros. Since double zeros are common in many data sets, this is a nuisance. In our field (from which the distance is coming), it is customary to remove double zeros: contribution to distance is zero when both x_i

Dear all, I didn't find any graphical solution in the package "mva" to plot the canonical scores from a CCA (canonical correlation analysis). Does anybody knows how to plot or has anybody already programmed : - the map of the canonical scores, - the graph of the canonical weights, - the correlation circle i.e. the canonical loadings ? Thank you for help ...

Dear R folks, One of the fantastic new tools in R is `Sweave'. I have tested it so much that I know it works and produces fine documentation, and with (GNU) Emacs/ESS it is nice to work with, too. I started to have a look at including some Swoven (is that a strong verb?) documentation with my R package, but it seems that there is no model to copy among those packages that I have installed in

Dear all, I'm trying to get a two dimensional embedding of some data using different meythods, among which princomp(), cmds(), sammon() and isoMDS(). I have a problem with sammon() because the coordinates I get are all equal to NA. What does it mean? Why the method fails in finding the coordinates? Can I do anything to get some meaningful results? Thank you very much Domenico

Hello folks, it may be regarded as a user error to scale() your data prior to prcomp() instead of using its 'scale.' argument. However, it is a user thing that may happen and sounds a legitimate thing to do, but in that case predict() with 'newdata' can give wrong results: x <- scale(USArrests) sol <- prcomp(x) all.equal(predict(sol), predict(sol, newdata=x)) ## [1]

Hello. I'm trying to solve a quadratic programming problem of the form min ||Hx - y||^2 s.t. x >= 0 and x <= t using solve.QP in the quadprog package but I'm having problems with Dmat not being positive definite, which is kinda okay since I expect it to be numerically semi-definite in most cases. As far as I'm aware the problem arises because the Goldfarb and Idnani method first

Hi, I'd like to perform Dufrene-Legendre Indicator Species Analysis for a multivariate regression tree. However I have problems with arguments of duleg(veg,class,numitr=1000)function. How to obtain a vector of numeric class memberships for samples, or a classification object returned from mvpart? thanks in advance -- Best regards, Agnieszka Strzelczak

Hello, everyone! I picked up R several months ago and have adopted it as my choice for statistical programming. Coming from a Java background, I can honestly say that R is not only free, it is better tha S-plus: the lexical scope in R makes it very simple to simulate Java's object model. For this, I encourage everyone to read the artcle: Robert Gentleman and Ross Ihaka (2000) "Lexical

Message 2 of today: it works now. After re-installing R.app from the same R-2.1.0.dmg file, and fixInNamespace'ing(*) install.packages(), I managed to update 23 outdated packages from CRAN binaries for MacOS X. What I did was to: 1. change call to .install.macbinaries() into call to install.binaries() in install.packages(). install.binaries() is a function defined utils/R/aqua/GUI.R. 2. I

Have you tried using tools:::package_native_routine_registration_skeleton()? If you don't like its output, you can easily edit its results and still avoid most pitfalls.

I find it a bit peculiar that a package skeleton created with a utils function package.skeleton() fails subsequent R CMD check. I do understand that the function is intended to produce only a skeleton that should be edited by the package author. I think that it would be justified to say that the skeleton *should* fail the test. However, I have two arguments against intentional failure: * When you
