Hello! I am truing to compile an R-package having c-code. I put foo.c in src/ folder and useDynLib("foo") in NAMESPACE file. When trying R CMD check, I got an error message that shared object 'foo' is not found. Then I did R CMD SHLIB foo.c first. However, after that, I got warnings from R CMD check that there is an object file in /src folder. Even worse is if I run R CMD

Hello, Recently, I have asked for a help with building graphs, and I got few great advices. Now, my appetite is growing :) and I wander how to add legend for two (or more) lines in following example: matplot(DAT[, c(3,4)], type="b", ylim=c(0,8), xaxt="n", yaxt="n", + pch=c(21,22), col="black", lty=c("dashed","solid"), xlab="",

I have installed lme4 library, but when I try something with lmer() function, I receive error message. On the other hand, I can use lme() function from the same library. Are those two the very same function or not? I am a bit confused. I am using: $platform: "i386-pc-linux-gnu" $arch: "i386" $os: "linux-gnu" $system: "i386, linux-gnu" $major: "2"

Hello ALL! I am running Fedora 16 x86_64. Due to some dubious problems, that i couldn't resolve, with the TeXLive (2007, which is a default), I removed it. That removed R as well, and some other dependent packages. Then, I installed TeXLive 2011 from CTAN. However, when I wanted to install R, from Fedora's repositories, it asks for some TeX dependencies (for example, tex-preview,

Dear r helpers, In my exploration of the tcltk facilities of R I've had some success but some failures, and wonder if someone could point me to a solution.

I am using R 2.1.1 on i486-pc-gnu-linux (Ubuntu Breezy). Recently, I bought new laptop HP nx8220 and installed Breezy with a few problems starting X-Windows. Nevertheless, I followed some instruction, managed to start X, and added R from the Ubuntu's repositories. When I try to produce any graph (like plot, bwplot etc.), I receive an error message: can't find X11 font Error in X11( ....

Hello! Can anyone help me to build a graph with the alphanumeric values on x-axis, with two lines (preferably doted and solid, or similar) that present values on y-axes. In a toy example, data frame could be like this: x.orig x.num y1 y2 a 1 0.2 0.4 b 2 0.1 0.1 c 3 0.3 0.3 d 4 0.3 0.15 e 5 0.1 0.05 I can make graph only if I use values converted to numeric in "x.num", but not original

Hello! I am running analysis on the data from 4 experiments, with approximately 4600 rows (cases). My working model is: fitA1 = lme(RT~F1+F2+L,random=~1|Experiment/Subject,data=data) Model works very fine, but if I try to check whether the effect of L depends on Experiments/Subjects with: fitA2 = lme(RT~F1+F2+L,random=~1+L|Experiment/Subject,data=data) [with the idea to make: anova(fitA1,fitA2)]

Hello! When I draw points on grid's viewport with clip set to TRUE clipping does not have effect on some symbols. It happens only when drawing over gtkDevice (GTK ver. 1.2) (with postscript device clipping works OK - take a look at this screenshot http://www.hppi.troitsk.ru/Kondrin/clipbug.png) and only with symbols that are drawn with commands other than gdk_draw_polygon() (i.e. circles

Hello, I ran two lme analyses and got expected results. However, I saw something suspicious regarding p-level for fixed effect. Models are the same, only experimental designs differ and, of course, subjects. I am aware that I could done nesting Subjects within Experiments, but it is expected to have much slower RT (reaction time) in the second experiment, since the task is more complex, so it

Hello! Interesting thing is that I cannot install rgl. It reports: checking for X... no configure: error: X11 not found but required, configure aborted. ERROR: configuration failed for package ?rgl? * Removing ?/usr/local/lib/R/site-library/rgl? I am pretty sure that my X11 is fine. Does anyone know why I got this error message? Best, PM

Hello ALL! First, I apologize for sending question that spill-out from the scope of this list. However, you might be essentially the best informants. In brief, I am thinking to give second shot to the Debian. Currently I am using Ubuntu 9.04, but Debian still teases me, so to say. I used to use Debian testing (Lenny at that time), but when Lenny became stable, things became very shaky in

Hello ALL! Can anyone tell me how to specify qqmath() function with distribution qgamma? In help it is bit vague how to pass shape and scale parameters for gamma. Thank you in advance. Best, PM

Hello ALL! Some times ago I started to learn and play with Bayesian stuffs. Many advice use of WinBUGS for Bayesian inference Using Gibbs Sampler. However, WinBUGS is discontinued, and now, development is under OpenBUGS. I wasn't lazy, so I installed both and tried out. In more than 90% of cases they give comparable outcome. But in few cases I got substantial differences. Recently, I read nice

Hello ALL! I have a problem to plot factor (lets say gender) as a line, or at least both line and point, from ols model: ols1 <- ols(Y ~ gender, data=dat, x=T, y=T) plot(ols1, gender=NA, xlab="gender", ylab="Y", ylim=c(5,30), conf.int=FALSE) If I convert gender into discrete numeric predictor, and use forceLines=TRUE, plot is not nice and true, since it shows values

Dear Helpers, I am new in Linux and R, trying to update packages I need in my work, but repeatedly I failed for reasons I do not understand. First, I use: > update.packages() Then, I choose nearest mirror and accept update of 'Design' package: > Design : > Version 2.0-9 installed in /usr/lib/R/site-library > Version 2.0-12 available at http://cran.r-mirror.de > Update

There is an ongoing thread "fontconfig-2.1.92 considered harmful" on -CURRENT. Because I have not moved to -CURRENT, I post this to -STABLE. Since I upgraded to fontconfig-2.1.93 (on Apr 14) a lot of ports start to complain a lot of "Cannot fork: Resource temporarily unavailable" errors. What resource ? I inserted top into my ports build script to notice that a lot of

Hello! I recently switched to Debian testing OS and explanation at the: http://cran.at.r-project.org/bin/linux/debian/ is a little bit fuzzy. Can anyone give step-by-step how-to have updated R on Debian testing and/or unstable. Thanks in advance! PM

Hello! I am trying with this question again: I would like to test few distributional assumptions for some behavioral response data. There are few theories about true distribution of those data, like: normal, lognormal, gamma, ex-Gaussian (exponential-Gaussian), Wald (inverse Gaussian) etc. The best way would be via qq-plot, to show to students differences. First two are trivial: qqnorm(dat$X)
