I've been trying to get some data from the National Survey for Family Growth into R - however, the data is in a .dat file and the data I need doesn't have any spaces or commas separating fields - rather you have to look into the codebook and what number of digits along the line the data you need is. The data I want are the following, where 1,12,int means that the data I'm interested

Dear List, After obtaining a second-hand PC and because XP costs too much, I installed Xandros 3.0 (based on Debian) but pretty easy to use if migrating from WinXP. Does anyone know how to install R on this OS? Thank you for your time, Tom Volscho ************************************ Thomas W.

Dear List, I have some projects where I use enormous datasets. For instance, the 5% PUMS microdata from the Census Bureau. After deleting cases I may have a dataset with 7 million+ rows and 50+ columns. Will R handle a datafile of this size? If so, how?

Dear list, I am brand new to R and using Dalgaard's (2002) book Introductory Statistics with R (thus, some of my terminology may be incorrect). I am fitting regression models and I want to use Hurvich and Tsai's AICC statistic to examine my regression models. This penalty can be expressed as: 2*npar * (n/(n-npar-1)). While you can obtain AIC, BIC, and logLik, I want to impose the AICC

We are constructing growth charts (age/weight and age/length) for children with diagnosis that impacts weight/length. But we we don't know how to use R for producing growth charts. We are collection data of Age, Weight and Length. The data are used to produce diagnosis-specific Growth charts (like the CDC Growth Charts:

Hi, I have been experimenting with the new Survey package. Specifically, I was trying to use some of the functions on the public-use survey data from NHIS (2000 Sample Adult file). Error 1): The first error I get is when I try to specify the complex survey design. nhis.design<-svydesign(ids=~psu, probs=~probs, strata=~strata, data=nhis.df, check.strata=TRUE) Error in svydesign(ids =

Hi, I have a need to process (in real-time) a large number of .sas7bdat files from within R. The problem is I don't want to convert these files to .xpt (transport) every time. So just checking if anyone has a (viable) way to read .sas7bdat files directly into R? Thank You. //---------------------------------- // Alex Bryant // Software Developer // Integrated Clinical systems //

Do you have to enable encrypted passwords for smbpasswd to work? I have yet to enable encryption because I wanted to test everything first, but have enabled 'update encrypted = Yes' so that this will update the smbpasswd file. I also have 'unix password sync = Yes'. However, I cannot get smbpasswd to change the passwords, either by user or root. Any suggestions? Carey

Hi everyone, my apologies in advance if I'm overlooking something simple in this question. I am trying to use R's survey package to make a direct method age-adjustment to some complex survey data. I have played with postStratify, calibrate, rake, and simply multiplying the base weights by the correct proportions - nothing seems to hit the published numbers on the nose. I am trying to

FYI:, I'm fairly new to samba (a couple of months now), and have experimented - unsuccessfully - with getting it to work with clearcase. Does anyone have a how-to, or a list of gotcha's for setting up clearcase with samba? Thanks in advance for any information you can send me. Ozzie,

I found you online....... Can you help with empirical probability? Hi Partha. I really liked your email that you sent me, it really inspired me. I have been breezing through the chapters, and doing quite well, You should be a teacher. After all the time my college instructor spent with the class on the slopes etc.... There were very few of us who really understood it. However, after reading

Hi all, I looked on the Internet but I didn't find any good how-to. I would like to integrate a ldap server ( with all users data) with asterisk to authenticate SIP users. With this solution I will only need to add a user on ldap, it will not be necessary to add any special configuration on sip.conf Is that possible???If so, How can I configure this setup???
