I have a list of scientific names in a data set. I would like to split the names into genus, species and subspecies. Not all names include a subspecies. Could someone show me how to do this? My example code is: a <- matrix(c('genusA speciesA', 10, 'genusB speciesAA', 20, 'genusC speciesAAA subspeciesA', 15,

I don't see what's missing in my statements to add rows to a data frame and someone else will probably see what needs to be added to the statements. The data frame has this structure (without any data): $ PHYLUM : chr $ SUBPHYLUM : chr $ SUPERCLASS : chr $ CLASS : chr $ SUBCLASS : chr $ INFRACLASS : chr $ SUPERORDER : chr $ ORDER : chr $ SUBORDER :

I just downloaded version 1.0.0 and several binary libraries (VR, rpart, norm, stataread) - WinNT version. I then converted a file from Stata 6.0 to R format by using the stataread library. The file converts perfectly and I was able to use the VR function lda on the dataframe without difficulty. I then tried to use the same dataframe with RPART. The model statement:

To account for likely differences between families in naturalization rates, we fitted a generalized linear mixed model, using PROC NLMIXED in SAS10, with the naturalization rate per genus (that is, the number of naturalized species in a genus as a proportion of the total number of introduced species in a genus) as the response variable, a variable coding genera as containing at least one native

Dear List, I am looking to calculate two things from my data frame and was after some advice. For the example below i want to know. 1. How many unique Orders/Families and Genera there are per eco-name 2. How many incidences are there for each Order/Family and Genus there are per eco-region I have 650 econame. I.e for Biak-Numfoor rain forests there are 2 orders, 2 families and two genera.

Dear List, I have a data set stored in the following format: > head(dat, n = 10) id sppcode abundance 1 10307 10000000 1 2 10307 16220602 2 3 10307 20000000 5 4 10307 20110000 2 5 10307 24000000 1 6 10307 40210000 83 7 10307 40210102 45 8 10307 45140000 1 9 10307 45630000 1 10 10307 45630600 41 >

I am making a barplot using barplot2 from gplots where each bar represents a specific tree species. I have formatted the species names on the x-axis so that the genus name is above the species name and have then rotated the labels 45 degrees to save room. This is my code: >columncolor<-c("grey20", "grey20", "grey20", "grey70",

This is my first experience of the mail server. Set up a mail server from Postfix + Dovecot with the MySQL authorization. When you create a new user dovecot makes strange folder structure: the 'inbox' contains 'juncus', 'tash', 'sent' etc. ie 'sent' and other folders are subdir to the 'inbox'. My result: 04 LIST "" "*" * LIST

Dear R users, in the example below the name of the genus will be displayed in the main titles using the variable predictor[i] and paste. I would like to have the genus name in italic. However all my attempts using expression and substitute failed. Does anybody know a solution? Thanks a lot in advance. bernd Acrobeles <-c(65.1,0.0,0.0,0.0,0.0,0.0) Acrobeloides

Hello R users I'm using MuMIn but for some reason I'm not getting the adjusted confidence interval and uncoditional SE whe I use model.avg(). I took into consideration the steps provided by Grueber et al (2011) Multimodel inference in ecology and evolution: challenges and solutions in JEB. I created a global model to see if malaria prevalence (binomial distribution) is related to any

I am making a barplot using barplot2 from gplots and would like to format the names of my categorical variables (tree species) on the x- axis so that the genus name is above the species name (to save room). My code so far is: speciesnames<-c("Dialium guianensis", "Inga alba", "Tachigali versicolor", "Brosimum utile", "Caryocar

Hi all, I would like to set up an iterative read & write sequence to avoid reading and writing each file one at a time. Hundreds of data sets to re-calculate.? The code I have works well individually, but would like to set up an iterative read, calculate and write changing the input and output file names each iteration. I? think I have read that there is an R? feature using

Hi, I am am new to cygwin, so if this email lacks any glaring detail, please let me know how I can send it along. Rsync is the first app I have tried to install on cygwin, I have version 2.5.5 already installed, but I am trying to upgrade to remove the 'rsync hangs with cygwin' problem. I am trying to install verison 2.6.2 from rsync-2.6.2.tar.gz. Configure runs fine, but make gives

Hello I'm using the package ade4 to obtain classification from a .txt file. I use the following commands: cronquist <- read.table("cronquist.txt", h = T, row.names = 8) cronquist <- as.taxo(cronquist[7:1]) cro.phy <- taxo2phylog(cronquist) in which cronquist.txt is a file with a classification of 218 genus of tree species from french Guiana. We I try to use the

I have some images of bugs (insects) with many bugs in each image. I want to count the number of bugs and to have an estimate of the area of each one. I've tried searching for an R package to do so with no success. Is this a task that I should pursue doing in R or should I restrict myself to specific image analysis software (e.g. ImageJ)?. The reason I consider R would be a good choice is

R users, How come R doesn't have a mascot? Linux has one and so does LaTeX, so shouldn't R? I personally think that associating a "friendly face" with R would be a good thing for R (one letter names can be quite intimidating). I apologize if this is addressed in the FAQ. I searched the FAQ as well as the mailing list archives and checked ?mascot but to no avail. ;-)

Howdy, I've been thinking a lot about definition list syntax, and what I did and didn't like about the PHP Markdown Extra syntax (which seems to be a de-facto standard, discount notwithstanding, yes?). What I came up with is a single character change to the PHP Markdown Extra syntax. I just published a detailed explanation of my thoughts and reasoning for this on [my

I'm graphing a series of boxplots of grouped data inside a function that passes the data.frame, the names vector, and a title vector. Because both the data subset changes with each successive pass through the function, occasionally the names vector turns up with only one group to plot. This is an expected result. However, when the names argument in boxplot has only a single name, it
