The formula attribute of the builtin CO2 dataset seems a bit strange: > formula(CO2) Plant ~ Type + Treatment + conc + uptake What is one supposed to do with that? Certainly its not suitable for input to lm and none of the examples in ?CO2 use the above.

Hi Folks, I'm interested in looking (in a beginner's amateurish way) at prosodic/phonetic analysis of recorded speech. In particular I would want to use R to formulate and evaluate specific models. So I would like to ask R people for their recommendations for a program which would a) Take as input a sound file in one of the common formats (".wav", ".au") b)

Hi My simulation with the followin R code works perfectly: sim <- replicate(999, sum(exp(rgamma(rpois(1,2000), scale = 0.5, shape = 12)))) But now I do not want to have values in object "sim" exceeding 5'000'000, that means that I am just using the beginning of densitiy function gamma x < 15.4. Is there a possibility to modify my code in an easy way? Thanks for any help!

The following can't be right, first rw2010: > 1 %% 0.001 [1] 0.001 Then rw2001: > 1 %% 0.001 [1] -2.081668e-17 > and the last seems about right. -- Kjetil Halvorsen.

Hi Folks, This is off-topic R-wise, but it may be close to the heart of many R-users, so I think it may be the best place to ask! Users of 'gv' (the "front end" to ghostscript) will be aware of the little window which gives you the x-y coordinates (in points = 1/72 inch) of the position of the "cross-hair" mouse cursor. These coordinates are those of the corresponding

Doese anyone know a R function to find the median of a gamma distribution? [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Hi Folks, This is not an R question as such, though it may well have an R answer. (And, in any case, this community probably knows more about most things than most others ... indeed, has probably pondered this very question). I: Given a "catalogue" of hundreds of books, where each "entry" has author and title (or equivalent ID), and also Ia) The dimensions (thickness,

Hi Folks, While I was browsing in the R-help archives yesterday, I got curious about the time series of the sizes of the monthly archives in MB. This turned out to have an unexpected feature or two, which I leave to readers to explore for themselves. I'm now wondering at what point in time we might expect to be receiving 1000MB/month (30+MB/day). It's not that far away, it seems, but

I have two CSV files (exported from Excel), say file1 and file2. The have the same number of rows, and each has several columns, with names on the first line; and some of the columns in file1 are repeated in file2. Using the "foreign" package, I can read these in separately to dataframes say d1 and d2 with > d1<-read.csv("file1") >

Hi, I'm completely new to R, I am all at sea with the interface and the confusing help files, so would appreciate some help to do a simple task. Need to present the mean and variance of 100 different samples of poisson distributions (N=1000, with fixed lambda) in a file in two columnns, and then produce histograms. So far I have figured out: > N <- 1000 > x <- rpois(N, 3.1) ,

I have a number of datasets that are multipunch column-binary format. Does anyone have any advice on how to read this into R? Thanks. David

Hi Folks, Can someone satisfy my curiosity (well, at least about the following query!) Reading the draft proofs of an article I've been asked to look through, I find the typesetter has set what would normally be entered as source("xyz.R") or source('xyz.R') as source(`xyz.R') i.e. it has come out with an opening backquote, then xyz.R, then a closing forward

Hi Folks, I'm trying to locate the source code for a (typical) R graphics device, in order to study how it's done. The underlying reason is that I'm thinking of trying to create a graphics device for 'pic' (the diagram drawing component of [g]troff). I thought the xfig device would be a good place to look, since the format of an xfig file is similar in nature (though very

Full_Name: Uffe H?gsbro Thygesen Version: 2.2.0 OS: linux Submission from: (NULL) (130.226.135.250) Hello all. pbinom(q=0,size=0,prob=0.5) returns the value NaN. I had expected the result 1. In fact any value for q seems to give an NaN. Note that dbinom(x=0,size=0,prob=0.5) returns the value 1. Cheers, Uffe

Hi Folks, I'm trying to find a neat solution to an apparently simple problem, but one which turns out to be a bit more intricate and tricky than one might expect. Suppose I have numbers given to a large number of digits. For example 1234567021 where (though I don't know this beforehand) only the last 3 digits will be varying (and all 3 will vary). What I want is, give a vector x of

First of all, thanks to those who've set up R to work so smoothly with Miktex-- even a total Latex bunny like me got it to work instantly, so that for the first time I'm able to run my Rd files through the Latex side of RCMD CHECK. Now the question/buglet. One of my Rd files contains the following: \code{mlazy( <<objname1>>, <<objname2>>, <<etc>>)}

Hi Folks, I'm sure I'm speaking for more than a few (though possibly a minority) here. There's something of a hidden assumption that R users can readily download whatever they need from CRAN. Some of us are on narrow bandwidth dialup connections, so downloading large quantities of stuff is out of the question (e.g. at approx. 5min/MB, it would take over 2 days to download a single
