Greetings to all, First off, I want to thank you all for answering any nagging questions I've had over the past few days. I've been in the process of putting together A Quick and (Very) Dirty Intro to Doing Your Statistics in R (which I have posted to http://didemnid.ucdavis.edu/rtutorial.html ) in order to teach an R workshop for the graduate students in my department. This is a

Hi, I have network data in the form of a couple of edgelists containing weights in the format "x,y,weight" whereby x represents row header and y represents column header. All edgelists are based on links among 634 nodes and I need to convert them into a 634*634 weighted matrix. I searched for online help using possible keywords I know, but I could not find a clue how to do this in

I've been using sna to work with some networks, and am trying to visualize them easily. My networks are hierarchical (food webs). All of the layout engines I've tried with gplot don't seem to plot hierarchical networks, as one would using dot from graphviz. While I could do all of this by outputting to dotfiles and running it through graphviz, the graphics I get from R are much

Dear all; I would like to draw a graph with vertices and edges, and I guess tcl/tk would be appropriate. I don't know tcl/tk but have googled for a 10-page (or so) introduction to 'getting started with tcl/tk in R' but without any luck. - Does anyone know of the existence of such a document or any other web-based material on the subject? - Does anyone have an (informative) piece of

Hello, I am working with graph and adjacency matrix, the package 'graph' seems to be appropriate for this. An example in the package > mat <- rbind(c(0, 0, 1, 1), + c(0, 0, 1, 1), + c(1, 1, 0, 1), + c(1, 1, 1, 0)) > rownames(mat) <- colnames(mat) <- letters[1:4] > graph1 <- new("graphAM", adjMat=mat) > graph1 A

Quick question about the usage of glht. I'm working with a data set from an experiment where the response is bounded at 0 whose variance increases with the mean, and is continuous. A Gamma error distribution with a log link seemed like the logical choice, and so I've modeled it as such. However, when I use glht to look for differences between groups, I get significant

Hey, all. I had a quick question about fitting new glm values and then looking at the error around them. I'm working with a glm using a Gamma distribution and a log link with two types of treatments. However, when I then look at the predicted values for each category, I find for the one that is close to 0, the error (using se.fit=T with predicted) actually makes it overlap 0.

I'm attempting to write a general function to implement Faraway's bootstrapping algorithm for mixed models with lmer, but have run into a curious problem. I'm comparing two models model.1<-lmer(Response ~ Treatment + (1|Trial), data=exp.data, method="ML") model.2<-lmer(Response ~ 1 + (1|Trial), data=exp.data, method="ML") When I attempt to update

I have a slight conundrum. I'm attempting to write a scrip that will take a number of objects (lm, glm, and lmer) and return AIC scores and weights. I've run into 3 problems, and was wondering if anyone had any pointers. 1) is there any convenient way to extract the name of the objects? Simply, if I have a vector of objects c(my.lm, my.lmer) and I want to get a character

This is a 'rather than re-invent the wheel' post. Has anyone out there re-written combn so that it can be parallelized - with multicore, snow, or otherwise? I have a job that requires large numbers of combinations, and rather than get all of the index values, then crank it through mclapply, I was wondering if there was a way to just do this natively within a function. Just curious.

I'm working on a program that loads several large data files. I'm using ddply (plyr is really awesome) but I want to minimize the amount of times a large data file is read in. One solution is to keep track of which data file is open with a global variable and then change the currently open data file globally as needed. However, I'm unclear on how to alter a global variable

Good afternoon, do you know if R provides a special package to make networks ? Thank you, Angela

Dear R folk, First off I want to thank those of you who responded with comments for my R quick and dirty stats tutorial. They've been quite helpful, and I'm in the process of revising them. When it comes to repeated measures MANOVA, I'm in a bit of a bind, however. I'm beginning to see that all of the documentation is written for psychologists, who have a slightly

I had a question about scan in R. For better code readability, I would like to have lines in the block of data to be scanned that are commented - not just lines that have a comment at the end. For example #age, weight, height 33,128,65 34,56,155 instead of having to do something like 33,128,65 #age, weight, height 34,56,155 Is this at all possible?

Can you please show code example, how to draw graph with some nodes and edges, but with weights. I only found here http://www.bioconductor.org/packages/release/bioc/vignettes/Rgraphviz/inst/doc/Rgraphviz.pdf- Using edge weights for labels, but... Here an example: > library("graph"); library(Rgraphviz) > myNodes = c("s", "p", "q", "r") >

I'm using lm to run an ANOVA, and would like to use Ryan's Q as my post-hoc (as recommended by Day and Quinn, 1989, Ecological Monographs). I can't seem to find any methods in the base stats package that implement this post-hoc. Is there a good package of post-hoc methods out there, or has someone written a method for Ryan's Q previously? Thanks! -Jarrett

I'm attempting to analyze some survey data comparing multiple docks. I surveyed all of the slips within each dock, but as slips are nested within docks, getting multiple samples per slip, and don't really represent any meaningful gradient, slip is a random effect. There are also an unequal number of slips at each dock. I'm having syntactical issues, however. When I try

I'm working with a few functions (e.g. do.base.descriptions in the netstat package) that, in addition to returning an object with variables I want to extract, also print output. There is no way to turn this default printing behavior off in many of the functions. Is there a blanket way to suppress such printing, say, within a loop or a ddply statement? Thanks! -Jarrett

Documentation on how to put classes and methods in packages with namespace? How should I define my classes and methods in "dynamicGraph"??? (That is - Can some one point me to the documentation on how to put classes and methods in packages with a namespace? ) Currently it is done by the code below. This gives problems, when a workspace with a "dynmaicGraph" is

Re. the Kings Quest game called R, Inspired by the "stats4" of R-1.9.0 (alpha of 2004-03-15) I moved the body af my function ".onLoad.dynamicGraph" to the end of ".../dynamicGraph/R/dynamicGraph" (replacing "library(methods)" by "require(methods)"). The secound run, with [Previously saved workspace restored], produces the same result as in
