Hi R-help: I'm just an old guy and new to this list... But have been using R for years now. I want to make a map of counties in the US with shaded colors that depend on the level of variable "Y" that I want to map. I have the US county and state fips codes and the Y variable. How do I do this? Please reply to pzs6@cdc.gov Thanks, Phil Smith pzs6@cdc.gov [[alternative HTML

Hi R-Help: I want to produce a map of the US with different colors for selected states. I installed the map package, and then used: library(maps) I can see that by using map( 'state' ) you get the state boundaries, also. How do I fill in different colors for the different states? I see there is a col parameter for map, but can't see how to get it to work! Please reply

Hi R Community: I want to take the difference in two dates: dt2 - dt1. But, I want the answer in months between those 2 dates. Can you advise me? Please respond to: pzs6 at cdc.gov Thank you! Phil Smith Centers for Disease Control and Prevention

Here is a question from an old guy: I want to use the boxplot function as follows: boxplot( p.prop ~ R + bins ) This command makes nice boxplot for the factor "R" crossed with the factor "bins". I am having alot of trouble getting control of the labels on the X axis. I want to control it more by specifying what the labels are, controling the 'size' of those

Hi: I am using step.glm() as follows: form1 <- as.formula(haspdata ~ 1) lg.mod1 <- glm ( formula=form1, data=st.mtx, family=binomial , na.action=na.omit ) upper <- as.formula( haspdata ~ ( c5+childnm+educ1+incpov1+marital+msa+racekid+racemom+sex+shotcard )^2) lower <- as.formula(haspdata~1) lst <- list( upper=upper , lower=lower ) form1a.step <- step(lg.mod1, scope=lst

Hi R-people: I need a function to compute the number of months between 2 dates, in the same way a mother would do it. For example, if a kid is born on February 6, the number of months between that date and March 7 is exactly 1 month, although it is only 29 days. Thank you!

Hi R-ers: I'm drawing a plot and have used different line types (lty) for different race/ethnicity groups. I want a legend that explains what line types correspond to the different race/ethnicity groups. I used the following code: legend( 1992 , 42 , c("Hispanic" , "non-Hispanic white (NHW)" , "non-Hispanic black" , "AI/AN" , "Asian" ) ,

Hello everyone, I just thought I would let people here know that ldc (llvm backend for the D Programming Language) is getting pretty usable (a few larger libraries compile) and it now has x86-64 support added. I decided to run some timings on some D and C++ code to compare ldc to dmd (the mainline compiler), gdc (the gcc based D compiler) and g++. I used a ray tracing program found in this

What is 1. par.ests <- optimfit$par 2. fisher <- hessb(negloglik, par.ests, maxvalue=maxima); 3. varcov <- solve(fisher); 4. par.ses <- sqrt(diag(varcov)); Thanks a lot, fit.GEV <- function(maxima) { sigma0 <- sqrt((6. * var(maxima))/pi) mu0 <- mean(maxima) - 0.57722 * sigma0 xi0 <- 0.1 theta <- c(xi0, mu0, sigma0) #10/5/2007: removed assign() for maxima.nl

Please let me know if this is or is not the right place to ask these types of questions. Warning: I am new to R by two days. I have a simple dataset.

Dear people, I'm trying to do some analysis of a data using the models by Royle & Donazio in their fantastic book, particular the following function: http://www.mbr-pwrc.usgs.gov/pubanalysis/roylebook/panel4pt1.fn that applied to my data and in the console is as follows: > `desman.y` <- structure(c(3L,4L,3L,2L,1L), .Names = c("1", "2", "3",

We are constructing growth charts (age/weight and age/length) for children with diagnosis that impacts weight/length. But we we don't know how to use R for producing growth charts. We are collection data of Age, Weight and Length. The data are used to produce diagnosis-specific Growth charts (like the CDC Growth Charts:

Hello, This is the first time i'm trying to plot in R. I want to plot estimates of OR and their confidence limits, like a scatter plot: the vertical axis should be the estimated OR (with upper and lower conf. limits), and the horizontal exis should be fixed values: (1,0.8,0.7,0.6,0.5,0.4) Here is a part of my code: ...ests=matrix(ncol=3,nrow=6)

I am working on a simple pilot project comparing the capability of SQL, SAS and R to perform a rolling mean per the following instructions. I have completed the SQL and SAS analysis, so now it's R's turn.
