Does anyone have a way of producing solid shapes other than spheres in rgl? I am using rgl to produce a simple visualisation of a forest model results using "lollipops". Its just a bit of fun, but as many of the trees are pines I would like to depict their crowns as cones. If there is a solution I need it to work under windows. Here is the example. library(rgl) library(misc3d)

Hello, My question is the following. Has anyone put together an "idiots" checklist of the steps needed to build a (small personal) package under Windows, or documented their own experiences of building packages under Windows? I ask this as last week there were some very interesting comments regarding the advantages of putting personally written functions together as a package

Could anyone help with what should be a simple task? I have data as a fixed format (fortran) table. I have no trouble getting it into R using read.table. Each column is separated by a space, including the first column that begins with a space, and aligned. It reads into R as if separated by tabs. However I want to manipulate two columns of data then write the results out into exactly the

Dear friends, My R*C table is as follow: better good bad Goup1 16 71 37 Group2 0 4 61 Group3 1 6 57 Can I test if there are statistical significant between Group1 and Group2, Group2 and Group3, Group1 and Group2, taking into the multiple comparisons? The table can be set up using the following program: a<-matrix(data=c(16,71,37,0,4,61,1,6,57),nrow=3,byrow=TRUE) Thanks

Dear all, The following problem just has been submitted to me by an accountant. In his new job, he has to close some old accounts. He has yearly amounts, and a list of products that have been bought over the years, at certain prices for which he has an exhaustive record. The problem is: He does not know what product was bought this or that year (don't ask). He does not want to find back

Hello everyone, I hope this is a fair enough question, but I don’t have access to a copy of Bates and Pinheiro. It is probably quite obvious but the answer might be of general interest. If I fit a fixed effect with an added quadratic term and then do it as an orthogonal polynomial using maximum likelihood I get the expected result- they have the same logLik.

Dear useRs, French reading people among you might be interested by the following book: Noel, Y. (2013). Psychologie statistique avec R [Statistical psychology with R, in French], coll.

Dear users, I would like to plot several histograms superimposed on the same panel with different colors, with superimposed polygons appearing with transparency effects. I also want estimated densities to appear on the same plot. For several reasons, including that I like it, I want to use the lattice package. I have several questions regarding the use of the 'histogram' function with a

I want to run Shapiro-Wilk test for each variable in my dataset, each grouped by variable groupFactor. I have these working commands: > data.n<-names(data) # put names into a vector called data.n > by(eval(parse(text=(paste("data",data.n[3],sep="$")))), data$factor, shapiro.test) #run shapiro.test but I must to change the variable number manualy.

Dear list, has anyone written a package/function in R for computing a point- biserial resp. biserial correlation? Thanks in advance Bernd

Hello all, To anyone who is interested, I'm trying to learn a bit more about developing applications in R with user interfaces. I've been playing around with gWidgets to develop a model building interface. I'd appreciate any comments, suggestions, or guidance on how to better structure my R code and organize the programming task. In addition, any suggestions for features and

Hello everyone. I would like to create many objects with R. Does R support objects? The number of objects needed is not predetermined and it is a parameter specified by the user. If the user selects to create many objects like 100, would it be possible to handle each one by some index? I would like to thank you in advance for your help.

Can anyone suggest a package or code for modeling a hysteresis process in R? I'm currently modeling a certain dataset with a GAM using mgcv, something like gam(y~ s(x, by=z) + z, family = Gamma(link=log),data=data) and getting fits with about 9 estimated degrees of freedom in the smooth for each value of z. FWIW, z is a treatment applied to a system which should have made an improvement,

I am new to Linux (not to R) and recently installed Mandriva Spring 2007 on my partitioned hard drive. My next objective is to install R in the Linux environment, unfortunately Mandriva is not one of the Linux distributions available for download... Could someone please let me know which distribution I should use? Thanks. Jonathan --------------------------------- Boardwalk for $500?

Dear all, I am trying to learn Bayesian inference and Bayesian data analysis, I am new in the field. Would any experts on the list recommend any good sites or materials for beginners? My approach is to learn and understand the theory first, then program on my own using R, though I see there are already packages. appreciate any help, thanks in advance!

I cannot find what is the function label for matrix inversion in R. I have found 'ginv' for the moore-penrose in the MASS package, but there is probably a simple inversion operator in the base package. Where can I find it? ____________________________________________ Yvonnick Noel, PhD. University of Lille 3 Department of Psychology F-59653 Villeneuve d'Ascq Cedex (+33) 320 41 63 48

Hi, I have a seemingly common problem but I can't find a proper way to approach it. Let's say we have 5 samples (different size) of IC circuits coming from 5 production lines (A, B, C, D, E). We apply two different non-destructive QA procedures to each sample, producing to sets of binary outcomes (passed: no/yes). So, we have two groups of proportions: QA1 QA2 no/yes no/yes A
