Hi All, I'd like to know what is the best way to organize R code in multiple modules= and files. The R code we are writing is too much for a single file. Besides= , there are a lot of reusable functions we'd like to factor out. But writing= a package for that is quite an over-kill and might be too inflexible. So what is the best way to organize R code into multiple files and reusable=

Hi all, When I write a script, I'd like to create a main() function so that I only need to type main() t re-run it. However, I'd like all the variables in main() to be global so that when the function terminates, I still have access to the variables in the environment. Does anyone know how to do that? Best regards, Geoffrey _______________________________________________________=0A=

Hi everyone, say I have a function called 'foo', which takes the argument arg1. Is there any mechanism that I can use to "learn" about the variable where foo(arg1) is going to be stored? For example: x <- foo(arg1) so, inside foo() I'd like to be able to get the string "x". if, foo(arg1) was used insted, I'd like to get NA. thank you very much, b

Hi everyone, Firstly, I'm sorry for the cross-post. I re-read the posting guide and it appears my question is more related to r-devel.... (i think :-) ) I downloaded the source code available at: http://cran.fhcrc.org/src/base/R-2/R-2.4.0.tar.gz to a linux machine (Linux 2.6.11-1.1369_FC4smp #1 SMP). I successfully configured and compiled it, which means I'm able to run it from the

Hi everyone, sorry if this was discussed before (and in this situation, could you please point me to the discussion in the archive? My search didn't seem to be effective). Is there a way of getting the names of objects in a .rda file without having to load it?

Hi, Newbie here. I read the R for Beginners but i still don't get this. I have the following data (this is just an example) in a CSV file: courseid numstudents 101 209 141 13 246 140 263 8 321 10 361 10 364 28 365 25 366 23 367

Hi All, I have codes as follows to get the ecdf plots: > day.hos2<-c(6,4,6,6,4,6,5,4,7,5,6,6,8,6,17,9,8,4,6,3,5,8,7,12,5,10,6,4,6 ,13,7,6,6,25,4,9,96,6,6,6,6,9,4,5,5,4,10,5,7,6) > day.hos3<-c(5,6,7,6,4,5,6,6,6,6,19,7,5,9,8,8,7,5,6,20,40,5,8,7,7,5,6,13, 11,9,4,6,9,16,6,7,6) > f<-ecdf(day.hos2) > plot(f,col.p='red',col.h='red') >

Given a dataset x, the ecdf is ecdf(x). Then I can use ecdf(x)(y) to find the percentile of y. Given the ecdf is there a way to determine what is the value of y that is the boundary of let's say 95 percentile? In other words, is there a function I can call on the ecdf like: fomeFunc( ecdf( x ), 0.95 ) Which will return the highest value of y, for which ecdf( y ) < 0.95? The only solution

Dear all, I would like to calculate the complementary cumulative distribution function. As it is known, the ccdf is the 1-ecdf(X)==1-F(x). (From ?ecdf help is shown that ecdf returns a function which is the F(x) I would like to use that function inside my function and after call curve (which accepts function as input). My code looks like that onVector<-seq(1:100)

Dear UseRs, maybe is a silly question: how can I get Empirical CDF values from an object created with ecdf()?? Using print I obtain: Empirical CDF Call: ecdf(t) x[1:57] = 4.1, 4.4, 4.5, ..., 491.3, 671.27 Thanks in advance.

Hello, is ot possible to draw two ecdf of vectors (say s1 and s2) on the same figire with R. plot function draws a new plot and there is no function like points or lines to draw a second ecdf on the figure.

Hi. I have the following two ecdf plots in one graph: plot( ecdf(....), do.points=FALSE, verticals=TRUE, main=paste("Ecdf of distances ",DIM,sep=""), col="red" ); lines( ecdf(....), do.points=FALSE, verticals=TRUE ); How do I change the color of the resulting graph? Adding col="red" to either plot or lines results in an error

Hi. I'm trying to plot two ecdf's on the same graph using two different colors. I can plot using the same color, but it doesn't work when I change colors? Any suggestions? Thanks in advance for your help. x <- c(0.80, 0.83, 1.89, 1.04, 1.45, 1.38, 1.91, 1.64, 0.73, 1.46) y <- c(1.15, 0.88, 0.90, 0.74, 1.21) plot(ecdf(x)) # it works without col='blue', but doesn't

Hi, i want to plot empirical cumulative density functions for two variables in one plot. For better visualizing the differences in the two cumulative curves I'd like to log-scale the axis. So far I found 3 possible functions to plot ecdf: 1) ecdf() from the package 'stats'. I don't know how to successfully set the log.scales? Combining two plots is not a problem: plot(ecdf(x1))

Hi all, given this example #start a<-c(0,70,50,100,70,650,1300,6900,1780,4930,1120,700,190,940, 760,100,300,36270,5610,249680,1760,4040,164890,17230,75140,1870,22380,5890,2430) length(a) b<-c(0,0,10,30,50,440,1000,140,70,90,60,60,20,90,180,30,90, 3220,490,20790,290,740,5350,940,3910,0,640,850,260) length(b) out<-ks.test(log10(a+1),log10(b+1)) # max distance D

Hi, I am using ecdf-function and want to use the ecdf()-data-points for nls() as data-parameter. nls() expects 'list' or 'environment' as a data-type, knots(ecdf(mydata)) gives me 'numeric'. What should I do now? Thanks in advance - Jochen Here is the code: ################################################# # --- Fit --- # Gumbel-Dist-Function, cumulative,

Hi r-users,   I would like to compare the cdf between historical and predicted. My x.obs and x.pre are the frequency data in classes of 0-300. I tried: plot(ecdf(x.obs),ecdf(x.pre),type="l",col="red")   and it gives me: Error in plot.stepfun(x, ..., ylab = ylab, verticals = verticals, pch = pch) :   argument 4 matches multiple formal arguments   Thank you so much for any

Hi, I'm bit confused about ecdf (read the help files but still not sure about this). I have an analytical expression for the pdf, but want to get the empirical cdf. How do I use this analytical expression with ecdf? If this helps make it concrete, the pdf is: f(u) = \sum_{t = 1}^T 1/n_t \sum_{i = 1}^{n_t} 1/w K((u - u_{it})/w) where K = kernel density estimator, w = weights, and u_{it} =

Full_Name: Martin Frith Version: R-2.0.0 OS: linux-gnu Submission from: (NULL) (134.160.83.73) I have large vectors containing 100,000 to 20,000,000 numbers. However, they only contain a few hundred *distinct* numbers (e.g. positive integers < 200). When I do ecdf(v), it either runs out of memory, or it succeeds, but when I plot the ecdf with postscript, the output is unnecessarily bloated

Hello: [Kindly Cc when replying] The question in a nutshell is this: Is there a more robust alternative to Ecdf ()? The details: I've used Ecdf () _a lot_ over the past few years and I have learned to live with its warnings. But I am running short on time and patience now [*] Here is a reproducible example: > library (Hmisc) > x <- read.csv ( file =
