Hello, I have a workspace that contains a number of functions I want to put in a library. Under R 1.9.0 I did this fairly easily by putting them in a R folder, creating a DESCRIPTION & TITLE file etc. I could then load my library successfully. Under R 2.0.0 this simple process apparently no longer works. I have used package.skeleton() and have run R CMD INSTALL pkgname but still get various

Hi, I have been using R under Windows but have started to use R (ver. 2.3.0,) under Linux (linux-gnu). I have been saving my workspace and I notice that I sometimes end up with 2 version of the .RData file: .RData and .Rdata. Can someone explain what is happening? I am not sure which one is loaded so I have ended up losing data by deleting the wrong file. I think the saved file should be

All, I have used package.skeleton, edited the .Rd files and the DESCRIPTON file. In one of my package functions I am using RODBC so I have a line of code that reads: require(RODBC). In my DESCRIPTION file I have the following relevant line: Depends: R (>= 2.9.0), RODBC However, when I do a check (Rcmd check my_package_name) I get this warning: * checking for unstated dependencies in R code

Dear All, I want to compare formulas resulting from using stepAIC() on glm() objects. I have 2 different formulas, say F1 and F2, which consist of about 10 factors (Y~A+B+C+...) but one has an interaction term (A:B) while the other doesn't. But when I perform F1==F2 it comes back as TRUE. Is there a proper way to compare formulas? ------------------------------------------- Jeffrey M

Dear R-help community, Does anybody know of a stats function in R that tells you which distribution best fits your data? I have tried look through the archives but have only found functions that tell you if it's normal or log etc. specifically - I am looking for a function that tells you (given a timeseries) what the distribution is. Any help/advice will be greatly appreciated, All the

Hello, I want to plot 3 boxplots [ par(mfrow=c(3,1)) ] but the first one has 8 groups, the 2nd has 7 and the third has 6. But I the groups to line up: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 3 4 5 6 7 8 where the numbers actually refer to years. I suspect I have to manipulate the function bxp(). Is there a relatively simple way to do this? Thanks for any help. Jeff Breiwick NMFS, Seattle

Hi Jenny If you want a general solution I understand. However I just downloaded the file fine (as far as I can tell) so you are welcome to have a copy. I can email it to you if you want. I do not think your test for NA is valid. i.e if(test != "NA"){ } I think you should use if(is.na(test)){ } Or something similar. J --- John Seers Institute of Food Research Norwich

Dear users, I got this problem and i don't have a clue of what it could be happening... The context: i'm running a loop in which i extract information from a raster map (I work with GRASS and R, using spgrass6 package), and rearrange it to create a matrix. I've tried it with small maps and it works smoothly, but in large maps I have to resort to saving data in the hard disk regularly

Dear R-help community I am trying to write an R object (data.out) to a file in order to re-access it later and not have to re-load up the array with data every time. Here is the form of data.out > data.out <- list(lats=seq(88.542, -88.542, length=94), lons=seq(0, 360-1.875, length=192), date=vector(length=nyr*12), data=array(NA, c(nyr*12, 94*192)) ) I tried >

Dear R-help community, My main goal of this message is to find a way of skipping a file of a month/year in a loop that does not exist (and making it's output into an data.out array would be NA) and moving onto the next year/month in the loop to carry on filling data.out with real precipitation data. The situation so far: I downloaded 50 years worth of GRIB data files from the NCEP data

Dear R-Group, I have a function that sorts a data frame and oneo of the lines in the function is: vars <- unlist(strsplit(formc, "[\\+\\-]")) The function works fine and the above line is always reached. However, when I include the function in a package and run "R CMD check pkgname" it gives this error message: '\+' is an unrecognized escape in character

Hi, I have a contour plot and I want to shade a polygon (the area below a line) but the polygon shading wipes out the contour lines. Does anybody know how to shade the polygon and still see the contour lines? Thanks. Jeff

Hello, I am running a simple nls model (which a friend ran OK) but I get the following error: Error in nls(y ~ R * (1 - (x/K)^2), data = nls.dat, start = list(R = 0.3, : object 'R_nls_iter' not found Does anyone know what the 'R_nls_iter' error is? The data are: x=1:8 ; y=c(14,19,25,34,43,56,69,76) # starting values: R=.3, K=94 Thanks in advance. Jeff

Hi, I am a newbie to R, just trying to switch from Splus. I am wondering to know if there is any such command in R as "attach" in Splus which can be used to attach the full directory. Also, any idea/referrence about, how to load c functions in R would be highly appreciated. Thanks, Utsav

I have a large R program that I am constantly running over and over again. At the beginning of this program, I create a hige matrix and a huge dataframe but these are constant. What I mean by constant is that, if I run the program over later, I really should just use the old matrix and dataframe ( if they exist ) that were created in a previous run so that the program doesn't have to spend

Dear experRts, I have the feeling that the 'name' argument to the attach function is ignored when 'what' is a file name. Here is an example: save(letters, file="letters.RData") letters.env <- attach("letters.RData", name="letters") search() letters.env The name on the search path is "file:letters.RData". I would expect it to be
