I am (for my sins) having to do some work using R under Windoze. I wanted to set up a .Rprofile to control my set-up. The docs on .Rprofile say that it can/should be placed in ``the user's home directory''. ``An Introduction to R'' observes lucidly that this concept needs to be clarified under Windoze. Following the suggestions in An Introduction to R, I tried putting a

I'm mystified by a Windoze ``phenomenon'' which has just bitten me. I have a laptop which boots either Windoze or Linux; I (sad to say) need the Windoze OS for teaching purposes. I have R 1.9.1 installed on the laptop in the Windoze OS. Just now I decided to install, under the Windoze version of R, a library (``Misc'') of some local functions that I have collected over the

Hi, this should be an easy one, but I can't figure it out. I have a vector of tests, with their units between brackets (if they have units). eg tests <- c("pH", "Assay (%)", "Impurity A(%)", "content (mg/ml)") Now I would like to hava a function where I use a test as input, and which returns the units like: f <- function (x) sub("\\)",

hi, can anyone confirm the following problem? when i do dos> rcmd rd2dvi --pdf my-package-name i get dos> Can't open perl script "c:\PROGRA~1\r\rw1091/bin/rd2dvi": No such file or directory might the problem be in (double back slashes rather than forward slashes) R-1.9.1\src\gnuwin32\front-ends\rcmdfn.c(251): strcat(cmd, RHome); strcat(cmd, "/bin/Rd2dvi.sh");

Hi, I recieved an ascii file, containing following information: $$ Experiment Number: $$ Associated Data: FUNCTION 1 Scan 1 Retention Time 0.017 399.8112 184 399.8742 0 399.9372 152 .... Scan 2 Retention Time 0.021 399.8112 181 399.8742 1 399.9372 153 ..... I would like to import this data in R into a dataframe, where there is a column time, the first numbers as column names, and the

Hi, I have to search in an online db for registered manufacturers of raw materials. Can I use R for the following: I have a list with monograph numbers eg: l <- c(198, 731,355) Now I want to make a dataframe, containing the monograph number and the information listed under COS: Certificate holder, certificate number, Status, Type Is this possible with R? kind regards Bart -- View this

Continuing to try to customize my environment for using R under Windoze, I experimented with installing a package from CRAN in a local library ``Lib''. I created the directory ``Lib'' in the folder in which R starts, and then executed > install.packages("abind",lib="Lib") Everything went according to form (I got prompted to choose a mirror, etc.) until

I gather from reading the back-issues of r-help that it should be possible (modulo a number of caveats) to read an excel (yuck!) file into R using RODBC. I have obtained and installed ODBC and the RODBC package, but cannot for the life of me figure out how to go about it. Can anyone give me a simple recipe? I have an excel file on cdrom, say: /mnt/cdrom/melvin.xls I have started R and loaded

Hi, I have the following dataframe: ID Dates 1 16-07-01 06-10-95 2 24/01/02 06-10-95 3 16/01/02 16/08/94 12/01/91 And I would like to extract the dates, but couple the ID's to the right dates, eg: ID Dates 1 16-07-01 1 06-10-95 2 24-01-02 2 .... I have no clue about how to get started, looks something for the

Hi, I'm a database admin for a database which manage chromatographic results of products during stability studies. I use R for the reporting of the results in MS Word through R2wd. But now I think I need your help: suppose we have the following data frame: ID rrt Mnd Result 1 0.45 0 0.10 1 0.48 0 0.30 1 1.24 0 0.50 2 0.45 3 0.20 2 0.48 3 0.60 2 1.22 3 0.40 3

Hi, I have a problem with fitting a model: I made a dataframe with this data: a <- 1:3 b <- 1:3 c <- c(3, 2, 3, 2, 1, 2, 3, 2, 3) df <- expand.grid(a,b) df$result <- c names(df) <- c("A","B", "result") Although I can make a graph of the data: require(lattice) wireframe(result~A*B, data=df) I can't get a model to

Hi, I'm trying to fit a model which has a response bias, but also a day to day bias. If I try to simulate the data, I don't get the right values with optim, and also I can't use the function to give a prediction interval. My simulated data are: DF <- as.data.frame(cbind(x=rep(1:10,2),dag=rep(1:2,each=10))) bias <- c(-0.2,0.5) DF$y <- ((DF$x-0.1) * 5)+2 +

Prof. Brian Ripley solved the problem. He wrote: > I was not aware that this works with relative paths for any version > of R. Try using a full path, which always works for me. I tried it using a full path, and bingo! It worked like a charm. Under Unix the relative path also works, but. Prof. Ripley also remarked: > If indeed your filesystem is readonly, you will have problems

Hi, I have an integer which is extracted from a dataframe, which is sorted by another column of the dataframe. Now I would like to remove some elements of the integer, which are near to others by their value. For example: integer: c(1,20,2,21) should be c(1,20). I tried to write a function, but for some reason, somethings won't work x <- 1:20 near <- function(x,th) { nr <-

I have a data set like the following: subject visit x1 1 1 0.5 1 2 1.2 1 3 0.7 2 1 0.4 2 2 0.6 2 3 1.0 ..... where x1 is the interval between the two visits. Now I want to calculate the cumulative intervals since the beinging, for example subject visit x1 cum 1 1 0.5 0.5 1 2 1.2 0.5+1.2 1 3 0.7 0.5+1.2+0.7 2 1 0.4 0.4 2 2 0.6 0.4+0.6 2 3 1.0 0.4+0.6+1.0 ..... is there an easy to generate the

Hi, Maybe this is more a programming questions than a specific R-project question, but maybe there is someone who can point me in the right direction. I have a picture of cirkels which I took with a digital camera. Now I want to use the diameter of the cirkels on the picture for analysis in R. I can use pixmap to import the picture, but how do I find the outside cirkels and calculate the

Hi, I want to make a data frame which contains the positions of some searched values in another data frame. Like: Dataframe 1: 1 2 3 4 1 2 3 4 2 3 4 1 2 3 4 2 4 1 2 3 2 3 4 1 Let's say I searched on "4", then Dataframe 2 should contain: x y 1 4 1 8 2 3 2 7 3 1 3 7 I have written a routine, but it seems to me that it isn't that perfect: x<- 0

Hi, I want to use Maximum likelihood to estimate the parameters from my regression line. I have purchased the book "Applied linear statistical models" from Neter, Kutner, nachtsheim & Wasserman, and in one of the first chapters, they use maximum likelihood to estimate the parameters. Now I want to tried it for my self, but couldn't find the right function. In the book, they give

I have just installed R version 2.14.0 and tried to re-build and re-check some of the packages that I maintain. I'm getting a warning (in the process of running R CMD check on my "deldir" package): > * checking PDF version of manual ... WARNING > LaTeX errors when creating PDF version. > This typically indicates Rd problems. > LaTeX errors found: > ! Font

Hi, I tried on this, but couldn't figure it out: Suppose I have a dataframe as follows: dat <- data.frame(Day=rep(rep(c(1,2), each=4),2), Animal = rep(c(1,2), each=8), Count=c(rnorm(8, 100), rnorm(8,90))) 2 animals are being examined on 2 different days. Count is the result. Now I need to point out whether or not there is a difference between the days. I did this by an ANOVA test, while
