Is there a way to do text plots in R? I'd like to do some simple XY plots in R with the output in text (ascii). For example, with gnuplot I can do the following: echo 'set terminal dumb ; plot sin(x)' | gnuplot To generate a simple sin wave. Since I connect to a remote Linux machine using SSH, being able to generate a rough idea of what a plot will look like in text would be

Is there a way to stream data into R so that it can be used in a command pipe? Most Unix commands read data via standard input and read the script from the command line. For example: $ seq 1 10 | sed -e 's/^/foo /' $ seq 1 10 | awk '{print "foo " $1}' $ seq 1 10 | perl -lane 'print "foo $F[0]"' In contrast, R seems to read the script

Is there a cheat-sheet anywhere that describes how to do SQL-like manipulations on a data frame? My knowledge of R is rather limited. But from my experience it seems as though one can think of data frames as being similar to tables in a database: there are rows, columns, and values. Also, one can perform similar manipulations on a data frame as one can on a table. For example:

Why am I getting the error "Error: cannot allocate vector of size 512000 Kb" on a machine with 6 GB of RAM? I'm playing with some large data sets within R and doing some simple statistics. The data sets have 10^6 and 10^7 rows of numbers. R reads in and performs summary() on the 10^6 set just fine. However, on the 10^7 set, R halts with the error. My hunch is that

Dear All, I am having a bit of problem using the DBI and RMySQL package. I have already installed DBI but now I want to connect to MySQL. So how do I do it. The CRAN package repository does not have RMySQL windows binary to install from?

Does R have command or object name completion? R has several functions of modern shells built into it e.g. history mechanism, command-line editing, emacs key bindings. However, it doesn't seem to have command or object name completion. For example, in bash I can begin typing a command and then press the tab key to have the shell fill in the rest of the command (works for environment

I am new to R ( and windows XP ) and am in the process of setting it up I put an options (repos=http://.fhcrc.org") file in my .Rprofile file and it works but that's all I put in and i don'tknow what to put in my .First function. I understand that .Rprofile is used for more general options and .First for options specific to that working directory. would someone mind to send me an

Hi, I am very new to R and I have written the following block of code to generate a gamma distribution for variable x (which is an array) and a function "y" whose array values depend on the individual array values of "x". The code is as follows: n=1000 x=rgamma(n,1.5,2) y=vector("numeric",n) for (i in 1:n){ y[i]=(2937/50000*exp(-1/1000*x[i])/x[i]) } now I want to

Hi, all. I'm trying to automate some regression operations in R leaving the possibility to modify the predictors in the regression. For example, I have saved in a list the results and then exported as a txt file, in which we can modify the predictors, putting for example lm(y~x^2) instead of having lm(y~x) as in the original model. Now, I need to import in R the txt file as a list to

Dear R folks: I wonder anyone has a elegent way of doing what I need to do. I have a data frame called with four columns: V1, V2, A1 and A2: V1 V2 A1 A2 A B 1.2 2.0 A D 1.2 4.0 A C 2.4 2.2 What I need to do is to convert it into the following data frame with a new column x, where x is just the stacked up of A1 and A2 placed with respective V1 and V2 in the first two

Hi, I am new to R and I would like to display an image on a plane in a 3D plot, i.e. I would like to be able to specify a theta and a phi parameters like in the function persp to display a 2D image on an inclined plane. Regards, vincent [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Is there an IRC channel for R? I have a bunch of relatively simple questions that I can't find answers to. So it'd be nice to send them to an IRC channel rather than clutter up the mailing list. I'm sure after a few examples and pointers to the right docs I'll be able to find my way. Regards, - Robert

Hi, people. xy.coords() does not behave like its documentation says, when given some matrices. ?xy.coords says: If 'y' is 'NULL' and 'x' is a [...] formula [...] list [...] time series [...] matrix with two columns [...] In any other case, the 'x' argument is coerced to a vector and returned as *y* component [...] Now, consider this short

Hi, R people. I'm shy reporting this, as a bug in this area sounds very unlikely. Did I make my tests wrongly? I'm still flaky at all this. Let me dare nevertheless, who knows, just in case... Please don't kill me! :-) Not so long ago, I wrote to this list: > (For now, [the library code] works only for me when I do _not_ use `-l > MY/OWN/LIBDIR' at `R CMD INSTALL'

Hi, people. I was a bit intrigued by the message quoted below. Indeed, if pt() is given a matrix, it returns a matrix. Should this feature be documented? ?pt speaks about "a vector of quantiles", and says nothing about the type of what it returns. The same might presumably apply to other distribution-related functions. ----- Forwarded message from Martyn Plummer <plummer at

Except for the ability to perform circular recalculation, I believe that the closest programming analogy to a spreadsheet is a functional programming language. Check out Haskell (or LISP or Erlang) to do what you describe. -----Original Message----- From: r-help-bounces at stat.math.ethz.ch [mailto:r-help-bounces at stat.math.ethz.ch] On Behalf Of Fran?ois Pinard Sent: Wednesday, August 29, 2007

Hi, people. Executing the following command: hist(rpois(100,5), labels=TRUE) yields a graphic in which some labels are truncated (on an X11 device). The truncated labels are those over the highest bars. The hist function should ideally manage enough room for the labels, automatically. (Specifying ylim solves my problem, but yet, hist could be frienlier.) --please do not edit the
