I have installed lme4 library, but when I try something with lmer() function, I receive error message. On the other hand, I can use lme() function from the same library. Are those two the very same function or not? I am a bit confused. I am using: $platform: "i386-pc-linux-gnu" $arch: "i386" $os: "linux-gnu" $system: "i386, linux-gnu" $major: "2"

Dear Helpers, I am new in Linux and R, trying to update packages I need in my work, but repeatedly I failed for reasons I do not understand. First, I use: > update.packages() Then, I choose nearest mirror and accept update of 'Design' package: > Design : > Version 2.0-9 installed in /usr/lib/R/site-library > Version 2.0-12 available at http://cran.r-mirror.de > Update

Hello! I am truing to compile an R-package having c-code. I put foo.c in src/ folder and useDynLib("foo") in NAMESPACE file. When trying R CMD check, I got an error message that shared object 'foo' is not found. Then I did R CMD SHLIB foo.c first. However, after that, I got warnings from R CMD check that there is an object file in /src folder. Even worse is if I run R CMD

Hello, Recently, I have asked for a help with building graphs, and I got few great advices. Now, my appetite is growing :) and I wander how to add legend for two (or more) lines in following example: matplot(DAT[, c(3,4)], type="b", ylim=c(0,8), xaxt="n", yaxt="n", + pch=c(21,22), col="black", lty=c("dashed","solid"), xlab="",

I am using R 2.1.1 on i486-pc-gnu-linux (Ubuntu Breezy). Recently, I bought new laptop HP nx8220 and installed Breezy with a few problems starting X-Windows. Nevertheless, I followed some instruction, managed to start X, and added R from the Ubuntu's repositories. When I try to produce any graph (like plot, bwplot etc.), I receive an error message: can't find X11 font Error in X11( ....

Hello! My question is stated in the Subject: Is it possible to model with Laplace's error distribution? For example, lmer() function have few families of functions, like binomial etc., but not Laplace. Is there any other package that would allow for Laplace? Or is there a way to give "user-defined" family? Sincerely, P. Milin

Hello! Interesting thing is that I cannot install rgl. It reports: checking for X... no configure: error: X11 not found but required, configure aborted. ERROR: configuration failed for package ?rgl? * Removing ?/usr/local/lib/R/site-library/rgl? I am pretty sure that my X11 is fine. Does anyone know why I got this error message? Best, PM

Hello ALL! Can anyone tell me how to specify qqmath() function with distribution qgamma? In help it is bit vague how to pass shape and scale parameters for gamma. Thank you in advance. Best, PM

Hello ALL! I have a problem to plot factor (lets say gender) as a line, or at least both line and point, from ols model: ols1 <- ols(Y ~ gender, data=dat, x=T, y=T) plot(ols1, gender=NA, xlab="gender", ylab="Y", ylim=c(5,30), conf.int=FALSE) If I convert gender into discrete numeric predictor, and use forceLines=TRUE, plot is not nice and true, since it shows values

Hello ! I am really happy to find this list. I am not new to R but to Debian or Linux in general. Up to now I used R on MS Windows but now I want to use R on Debian lenny. I have absolutely no experience with Debian. I was able to install R 2.11 on my system using the instruction in the readme on CRAN. I can open R in the shell. On windows I used R with the R GUI or with Tinn-R. Is there the

Hello, I ran two lme analyses and got expected results. However, I saw something suspicious regarding p-level for fixed effect. Models are the same, only experimental designs differ and, of course, subjects. I am aware that I could done nesting Subjects within Experiments, but it is expected to have much slower RT (reaction time) in the second experiment, since the task is more complex, so it

Hello! I am trying to install gtkDevice package, but without success. It is complaining about: * Installing *source* package 'gtkDevice' ... checking for gtk-config... no checking for gtk12-config... no ERROR: Cannot find gtk-config.

Hello ALL! I am running Fedora 16 x86_64. Due to some dubious problems, that i couldn't resolve, with the TeXLive (2007, which is a default), I removed it. That removed R as well, and some other dependent packages. Then, I installed TeXLive 2011 from CTAN. However, when I wanted to install R, from Fedora's repositories, it asks for some TeX dependencies (for example, tex-preview,

Hello ALL! First, I apologize for sending question that spill-out from the scope of this list. However, you might be essentially the best informants. In brief, I am thinking to give second shot to the Debian. Currently I am using Ubuntu 9.04, but Debian still teases me, so to say. I used to use Debian testing (Lenny at that time), but when Lenny became stable, things became very shaky in

Hello! Can anyone explain me what solve() function does: Gaussian elimination or iterative, numeric solve? In addition, I would need both the Gaussian elimination and iterative solution for the course. Are the two built in R? Thanks! PM

Hello ALL! Some times ago I started to learn and play with Bayesian stuffs. Many advice use of WinBUGS for Bayesian inference Using Gibbs Sampler. However, WinBUGS is discontinued, and now, development is under OpenBUGS. I wasn't lazy, so I installed both and tried out. In more than 90% of cases they give comparable outcome. But in few cases I got substantial differences. Recently, I read nice

Hello! I recently switched to Debian testing OS and explanation at the: http://cran.at.r-project.org/bin/linux/debian/ is a little bit fuzzy. Can anyone give step-by-step how-to have updated R on Debian testing and/or unstable. Thanks in advance! PM

I am newbie in R, trying to understand and compare syntax in nlme and lme4. lme() model from the nlme package I am interested in is: lme.m1.1 = lme(Y~A+B+C,random=~1|D/E,data=data,method="ML") (for simplicity reason, I am giving generic names of factors) If I understand well, there are three fixed factors: A, B and C, and two random factors: D and E. In addition to that, E is nested in

Hello ALL! I am an Linux user (Debian testing i386), with very dusty Win-experience. Nevertheless, my colleagues and I are making some package in R, and I built C-routines to speed up things. I followed instruction how to compile C for R (very useful link: http://www.stat.lsa.umich.edu/~yizwang/software/maxLinear/noteonR.html, and links listed there). Everything works like a charm in Linux. I
