Does anyone have (good) experience converting tables of tournament results into dendrogram-like graphics?

I sent the message below to r-sig-mac yesterday, but having no reply I decided to explore a bit myself and found that editing: /Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Versions/2.3/Resources/share/make/ shlib.mk yzzy: diff shlib.mk shlib.mk~ 3c3 < include $(R_HOME)/etc/Makeconf --- > include $(R_HOME)/etc${R_ARCH}/Makeconf restored the functionality of R CMD INSTALL. Is this a known issue?

Hi Roger, As we know that The Oja median has (finite) breakdown point 2/n, i.e., is not robust in any reasonable sense, and is quite expensive to compute, so do we have some better methodology to compute multivariate median Rahul Agarwal Analyst Equities Quantitative Research UBS_ISC, Hyderabad On Net: 19 533 6363 [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

I discovered recently that the phrase "Oja median" produces no hits in Jonathan Baron's very valuable R search engine. I found this surprising since I've long regarded this idea as one of the more interesting notions in the multivariate robustness literature. To begin to remedy this oversight I wrote a bivariate version and then decided that writing a general p-variate version

I have a pdf scan of several pages of data from a quite famous old paper by C.S. Pierce (1873). I would like (what else?) to convert it into an R dataframe. Somewhat to my surprise the pdf seems to already be in a character recognized form, since I can search for numerical strings and they are nicely found. Of course, as is usual with such tables there are also headings and column

Negative indexing is often handy, but I'm in need of an appropriate idiom for handling cases in which the index set can be null: x <- rnorm(5) a <- 1:5 s <- rep(FALSE,5) y <- x[-a[s]] # I'd like y == x but instead one has x[-a[s]] == x[a[s]] == numeric(0), which is rather # unfortunate -- so far the best I have come up with is: as <- ifelse(length(a[s]),-a[s],TRUE)

Dear List, I would greatly appreciate help on the following matter: The RuleFit program of Professor Friedman uses partial dependence plots to explore the effect of an explanatory variable on the response variable, after accounting for the average effects of the other variables.

Hi. I am aware of three different R packages for linear programming: glpk, linprog, lpSolve. From what I can tell, if there are N variables and M constraints, all these solvers require the full NxM constraint matrix. Some linear solvers I know of (not in R) have a sparse matrix input format. Are there any linear solvers in R that have a sparse matrix input format? (including the

What is the current state of the R-art for ordered probit models, and more esoterically is there any available R strategy for ordered cauchit models, i.e. ordered multinomial alternatives with a cauchy link function. MCMC is an option, obviously, but for a univariate latent variable model this seems to be overkill... standard mle methods should be preferable. (??) Googling reveals that spss

Thierry, I have this: if (require(MatrixModels) && require(Matrix)) { X <- model.Matrix(Terms, m, contrasts, sparse = TRUE) in my function rqss() I've tried variants of requireNamespace too without success. If I understand properly model.Matrix is from MatrixModels but it calls sparse.model.matrix which is part of Matrix, and it is the latter function that I'm not

An extremely modest proposal: It would be nice if packages could have a FAQ and if faq(package.name) would produce this faq. And if, by default faq() FAQ() would produce the admirable R faq...

I'm writing a new predict method and would like to be able to pass an argument called "se" via the "..." mechanism. However, predict has a "se.fit" argument that wants to interpret my specification of "se" as a partially matched version of se.fit. Surely there a standard treatment for this ailment, but I can't seem to find it. url:
