I'm trying to get R to simulate the sum of the values on 10 fair dice (yes, it's related to a homework problem, but is not the problem itself). I tried to do this: > rep(sum(sample(1:6,100,replace=T)), times=10) [1] 341 341 341 341 341 341 341 341 341 341 and noticed that sum(sample()) seems to be only evaluated once. How can I overcome this, so that I get a vector of values that

I hope this question is sufficiently different from the other requests for book recommendations that it's not repetitious. If not, I apologize in advance. I'm curious what standard reference books working statisticians, or biostatisticians, have within easy reach of their desk. I'm a computer systems administrator, and have a two-foot bookshelf directory under my monitor that contains

I'm trying to replicate some of the examples from my textbook in R (my text uses Minitab). In this problem, I'm trying to construct a 95% confidence interval for these distance measurements [1]: > # Case Study 7.4.1, p. 483 > x <- scan() 1: 62 52 68 23 34 45 27 42 83 56 40 12: Read 11 items > alpha<-.95 > mean(x) + qt(c((1-alpha)/2, 1-((1-alpha)/2)), df=length(x)-1) *

I'm trying to get R, Sweave, ESS and XEmacs or emacs all installed and working together on my Windows XP Pro system. I've got R 2.6.0 working just fine, installed from the R Windows installer. I also have CYGWIN_NT-5.1 with XEmacs 21.4 working okay. Can anyone point me to any documentation on how to bring these together so that R code typed in Xemacs can be run in R? I found the ESS

Is this how a t hypothesis test is done when I don't have the actual data, but just the summarized statistics: > #Homework 9.2.6 [1] > n<-31 > xbar<-3.10 > s_x<-1.469 > m<-57 > ybar<-2.43 > s_y<-1.35 > s_pooled<- (((n-1)*s_x^2) + ((m-1)*s_y^2)) / (n + m - 2) > s_pooled [1] 1.939521 > t_obs <- (xbar - ybar) / (s_pooled * (sqrt(1/n + 1/m)))

[If I knew who to report this to privately, I would. Sorry to embarrass anyone who's just trying to contribute to the R-project.] There seems to be some oddities with the RSiteSearch web page. When I enter 'RSiteSearch("console")' I'm taken to http://search.r-project.org/cgi-bin/namazu.cgi?query=console&max=20&resu

There must be a better way to select the rows after 22-Apr-2004 and before 01-Sep-2004 with a temperature below 65 than this: > before2sw1 <- subset(energy.data, as.Date(start, format="%d-%b-%y") < as.Date("01-Sep-04", format = "%d-%b-%y")) > before2sw2 <- subset(before2sw1, as.Date(start, format="%d-%b-%y") >=

I've been working with R for all of about 8 hours, so anyone with more experience than this should be able to help me. General comments about my methods of work are also welcomed. I have a table that I've imported thusly: > w <- read.table("woodford.data", header=T) > w start therms gas KWHs elect temp days 1 10-Jun-98 9 16.84 613 63.80 75 40 2

I'm looking for a function in R similar to t.test() which was generously pointed out to me yesterday, but which can be used for normally distributed data. To recap yesterday: > x <- scan() 1: 62 52 68 23 34 45 27 42 83 56 40 12: Read 11 items > alpha<- .05 > t.test(x) One Sample t-test data: x t = 8.8696, df = 10, p-value = 4.717e-06 alternative hypothesis: true

I think I've gotten my Emacs/Sweave/R system set up correctly, thanks to Vincent and Jim, but I haven't been successful getting my first document produced. I'm trying to use one of Friedrich Leisch's examples, http://www.ci.tuwien.ac.at/~leisch/Sweave/example-1.Snw. I cut and pasted the text into a document sweaveexample.Rnw in Emacs. It seemed to be processed successfully with R:

I'm trying to solve a homework problem using R. The problem gives a list of cricket chirps per second and corresponding temperature, and asks to give the equation for the linear model and then predict the temperature to produce 18 chirps per second. So far, I have: > # Homework 11.2.1 and 11.3.3 > chirps <- scan() 1: 20 2: 16 3: 19.8 4: 18.4 5: 17.1 6: 15.5 7: 14.7 8: 17.1 9: 15.4

We just studied randomized block design analysis in my statistics class, and I'm trying to learn how to do them in R. I'm trying to duplicate a case study example from my textbook [1]: > # Case Study 13.2.1, page 778 > cd <- c(8, 11, 9, 16, 24) > dp <- c(2, 1, 12, 11, 19) > lm <- c(-2, 0, 6, 2, 11) > table <- data.frame(Block=LETTERS[1:5], "Score

I know citation() gives the R citation to be used in publications. Has anyone put this into endnote nicely? I'm not very experienced with endnote, and the way I have it at the momeny the 'R Development Core Team' becomes R. D. C. T. etc. Cheers.

Hello, I'm running R2.10, Eclipse, StatEt and MikTex 2.8 to create Sweave documents, and everything seems to work great, until today... I was trying to add citations from a Bibtex file, but I just got [?] citations. However, if I open the .tex file that StatEt created in MikTex and run the latex+bibtex+pdflatex command, the citations are present. Does anyone know how to either configure

I'm attempting the heruclean task of teaching myself Introductory Statistics and R at the same time. I'm working through Peter Dalgaard's Introductory Statistics with R, but don't understand why the answer to one of the exercises works. I'm hoping someone will have the patience to explain the answer to me, both in the statistics and R areas. Exercise 6.1 says: The zelazo data

Dear all, I'm a big fan and happy user of the Sweave package for routine reporting. From inside a .Rnw script, I'd like to produce the references in bibtex format for each package loaded in the environment, write them in a .bib file and load them back from the \bibliography{bibliography} statement. Is this feasible? Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance, Paolo

Sorry for the off-topic question, but I know there are some talented LaTeX users out there. Which bibliography style gives only the year in text citations (e.g "for further details, see Anderson (1992)" )?

== Summary == * Problem: BibTeX entries extracted from R packages via citation() require too much manual editing to be of general use. * Proposal: Date: fields should be made mandatory in package DESCRIPTION files, perhaps beginning with warnings from R CMD check * Proposal: Package authors should be encouraged to use a (new) Contributors: field in the DESCRIPTION file rather than packing all

Dear All, I have these data: exampledata <- c("This is one item", "This is Another One", "And so is This") I would like to find each occurence of a blank space followed by a Capital Letter and replace it by a blank space, a left curly brace, the respective Capital Letter, and then a right curly brace. I thought the following will do: gsub(pattern = "

I'm trying to learn statistics and R at the same time. I have an undergraduate science degree and one year of calculus (30 years ago), but never took a stats course. I hope to take some stats courses in the next year, but thought I would start to see how much I could teach myself. I work for an organization that analyses behavior change communication programs regarding HIV/AIDS and
