Hello, I hope this doesn't turn into a statistics question but here I go. I am using the nls function with a Gaussian distribution, see coding below. When I run the nls I get an error back saying that I have a linear gradient. I then, of course am unable to do anything else. The data that I am using are intensity values from some mass spectrometry data. Is there something I can

Hello, I apologise if someone has already answered this but I searched and googled but didn't find anything. I have a matrix which gives me the similarity of each item to each other. I would like to turn this matrix into something like what they have in the graph package with the nodes and edges. http://cran.r-project.org/doc/packages/graph.pdf . However I cannot find a method to

Dear all, Just a quick one, hopefully. I have a histogram made from the method 'hist()'. How do I get labels on the bars? Such that the bars will have the x axis on the bar, not the frequency of the point but the number of the point itself. To make a quick summary, I want the the numbers from 'losses' (below) to be on the bar's. Thanks, Paul

Hello, I'm doing some scripting and I've noticed that R doesn't seem to have an if (cond){ do }ifelse (cond) { do } else { do } type block. Is this correct or am I missing something. THX Paul -- Research Technician Mass Spectrometry o The / o Scripps \ o Research / o Institute

Hello, Sorry to all for the lack of communication, and thanks to those with the suggestions. So I have two matrixes which are different sizes, same column number but different row number. What I would like to do is to compare A to B. In the 6 and 9th column there are ref numbers (molecular masses to be exact). I would like to check A and B by these columns. If I find that the number in A[9,x]

Dear All, I have a matrix with data that is not organised. I would like to go through this and extract it. Each feature has 2 vectors which express the data. I also have an index of the places where the data should be cut. eg. >class(cc) "matrix" >cc [,1] [,2] [1,] 1 26 [2,] 2 27 [3,] 3 28 [4,] 4 29 [5,] 5 30 [6,] 6 31 [7,] 7 32

Hello all, I know this is a pretty easy question but I can't find it in S poetry or R help. How can I make a negative number positive. Such as -5 to be +5 I tried +(-5), but that didn't work. So no, I don't mean taking a -5^2 just to get a positive number. This is in a function so it's not just -5 it's x. :) Thanks, Paul -- Research Technician Mass Spectrometry o The

Hello all, I'm having a spot of trouble. I have made a very nice distance matrix from some comparison calculations. However, the matrix is 3096 x 3096, so it's relatively large. Currently I'm using the svn package as it seems to work for my data. The graph package errors and says the "adjacency matrix must be symmetric for undirected graphs". I though 3096 x 3096 was

So thanks for the help, I have a matrix (AB) which in the first column has my bin numbers so -4 - +4 in 0.1 bin units. Then I have in the second column the frequency from some data. I have plotted them and they look roughly Gaussian. So I want to fit them/ find/optimize "mu", "sigma", and "A". So I call the nls function : nls_AB <- nls(x ~ (A/sig*sqrt(2*pi))*

Dear all, Thank you for any help. I have a data.frame and would like to plot it in 3D.

Hello all and thank you, I will try to make this as clear as I can. I have a matrix, at the top of the matrix are 4 time points, the first col describes the sample, then under each time point I have the intensity values of that sample. So : Samples 0 10 30 120 <- time A 200 300 400 1000 <- data B 100 400 200 100 C 500 400 200 1000 ^ | samples I would like to plot these however, all I

Hello everyone, I have an overlay plot it's nice but you can't see all the data. I would like to know if there is a way to get a plot that gives a side by side plot so that each plot would be next to each other. The two plots have the same data are of different species. At the moment this is the code I'm using: exp<-cbind(abs(round(rnorm(10),2)*10), seq(100, 200, by=10))

Hi, I have a simple beginner's question on removing a list of objects. Say I have objects C243.Daily1, C243.Daily2...C243.Daily5 in my workspace. I'd like to remove these without using rm five times. So I write. > a <- list(paste("C243.Daily",sep="",1:5)) > rm(a) Obviously this wouldn't work, as it would only remove the object a. But is there any way

Dear all, I've been trying to find how to compare tow different heatmaps but I'm having trouble getting the colors bar to be the same. I'm doing something like the following: library(gplots) dat<-cor(matrix(rnorm(100, m=10), nrow=10)) mat<-cor(matrix(rnorm(100), nrow=10)) dev.new() heatmap.2(mat, Rowv=NA, Colv=NA, col=redgreen(75), symm=TRUE, trace="none",

Dear All, in some functions of my package, I use the Matrix S4 class, as defined in the Matrix package. I don't want to depend on Matrix, however, because my package is perfectly fine without Matrix, most of the functionality does not need Matrix. Matrix is so included in the 'Suggests' line. I load Matrix via require(), from the functions that really need it. This mostly works
