Sorry, I did not make my question clear. Since I have a point theme with many points, some of them may clump together. the problems here are: 1. how to find clumps in a point theme? 2. the convex-hull extension I found only deal with all the points in a theme at each time? how to make each convex hull around each point clump automatically? Thanks. Xiaohua On 5/12/06, Bob Booth <bbooth

Hi R users, I use plot.circular(rad, stack=T,bins=4) and could just obtain the four stacks in the directions of 45, 135, 225 and 315 degrees. But I want them in 0, 90, 180 and 270 degrees. Is there any parameter or any other function to make it? Thanks for helping a R beginner. -- Xiaohua Dai, Dr. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Centre for

Hi R users, Sorry for a simple question: I found different people use different i in set.seed(i), are there any rules to choose an i or one can choose as he likes? Thanks Xiaohua

Hi R-users: Yesterday I ran a R code for 9 hours and it did not show any sign to stop. Then I interrupted it and found it had completed 82.5%. This morning I decided to wait for another 11 hours to see what will happen. Wait a minute, I heard that transforming data.frame to matrix will make R code faster. Then I made the modification in my R code. Oooh, the new code finished within 30 minutes!!

Hi All, Does anyone know how to compare the means of several circular-data samplings? Any related websites, references and softwares? Thanks Xiaohua -- Xiaohua Dai, Dr. [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

This is slightly off-topic but I would be interested in whether anyone has succeeded in creating a filter expression for Google's gmail system that will select messages sent through the R-help and R-devel lists. It seems as if it should be easy to select on '[R]' or '[Rd]' in the subject line but I haven't been able to work out the exact syntax that would do this and not

Hi all, >From late April, everytime when I update my packages, the package "gap" is always on the list of "packages to be updated". I try to download and install the gap zip file from CRAN. However, the same problem still remains. No such problem for other packages. > Sys.info() sysname release

Hello, is there a package in R that would allow map drawing: coastlines, country/state boundaries, maybe topography, rivers etc? Thanks for any guidance, Mark

Hi R-profs, Maybe my question is a little off topic. Could any one tell me how to calculate a linear-circular correlation coefficient and its p-values? I had a quick look at circular and CircStats packages and did not find the related function. Thanks for any kindly help.

Hi Gurus! I have a job that is to get randomly samples from point-based GIS data (sp called shape GIS files) under the total sum resctricted. For example, I would like to take random smaples under the 1000 persons in each city. The randomly sampled persons should not be over 1000 any case.

Dear Dr. Bivand and R-users, I have a 5 by 5 grid, say, location[1:5,1:5], and I want to know the indices of 8 neighbours of each cell. For example, for location[2,2], its neighbour coordinates are [1,1:3], [2,1], [2,3] and [3,1:3]. Sometimes I also need to remove edge effects (torus = TRUE). I have tried "cell2nb" function in your spdep package. Here's my example: > neigh

Hello, Simply put, I'm trying to call a function "testme" with value "age=NA". I wish to use "dotlist<-list(...)" inside the function and have dotlist become: $age [1] NA I'm modifying existing code and need to minimize changing that code so it's easiest to conform how I call the existing function. My sample code fragment, results, and R.version

Is there any routine to generate for one vector matrix. If I have X I want to generate start from zero to maximum value each vector. For example, I have a vector x = (4,2,3,1,4) I want to generate n=6 times, for 4, start 0 to 4, then 2 start 0 to 2, ect. The result something like this: generate(x,n=6) 1,1,2,1,4 1,2,3,0,3 4,0,1,1,1 3,1,0,1,4 0,0,3,0,0 4,1,3,0,4 Could anyone help me. Thanks.

Dear list, can someone explain to me why deparse(substitute(x)) does not seem to work when x is of a user-defined S3 class? In my actual problem, my print method is part of a package, and the method is registered in the NAMESPACE, if that should make a difference. > print.testclass <- function(x,...){ xname <- deparse(substitute(x)) cat("Your object name

I am using gsub to remove numbers for each element of a list. Code is given below. testList <- list("this contains a number 1000","this does not contain") removeNumbers <- function(X) { gsub("\\d","",X) } outputList <- lapply(testList,removeNumbers) However, when I try to find the number of words in outputList as follows

I have a list of vectors, all forced to be the same length: testlist <- list( shape=c(0, 0, 2), cell.fill=c("red","blue","green"), back.fill=rep("white",3), scale.max=rep(100,3) ) > str(testlist) List of 4 $ shape : num [1:3] 0 0 2 $ cell.fill: chr [1:3] "red" "blue" "green" $ back.fill: chr [1:3]

Dear R helpers, I have a largish matrix (1300 x 1300) and I wish to find the row and column numbers that identify particular elements whose values I know in advance (for example, the row and column numbers for the maximum value of the matrix). I have looked in the help manual and found the functions 'row' and 'col' for finding the indices of a matrix. But, I can't figure out

hi all, is there a new mechanism in R 2.3.0 for copying libraries from, say, R 2.2.1 to R 2.3.0? i ask because gabor grothendieck comments in his copydir.bat (from gabor's batchfiles at: http://cran.r-project.org/contrib/extra/batchfiles/batchfiles_0.2-5.zip ): ``:: I personally upgraded my 2.1.0 to 2.2.0 this way so it seems ok until :: R replaces this with something better which is

I have the following code and I am not sure what's wrong or how to make it work. B <- matrix(1,nrow=50,ncol=2) for (i in 1:length(size.out)){ # length(size.out=2) these are the two variables X <- var.range[i,1] # min Y <- var.range[i,1] # min ratio <- size.out[,i] for (j in 1:groups)
