hi all, is there a new mechanism in R 2.3.0 for copying libraries from, say, R 2.2.1 to R 2.3.0? i ask because gabor grothendieck comments in his copydir.bat (from gabor's batchfiles at: http://cran.r-project.org/contrib/extra/batchfiles/batchfiles_0.2-5.zip ): ``:: I personally upgraded my 2.1.0 to 2.2.0 this way so it seems ok until :: R replaces this with something better which is

I recentlry tried to upgrade to 2.8.0. I ended up uninstalling 2.7.2 and installing 2.8.0 becuase the line in the FAQ states: That's a matter of taste. For most people the best thing to do is to uninstall R (see the previous Q), install the new version, copy any installed packages to the library folder in the new installation, run update.packages(checkBuilt=TRUE, ask=FALSE) in the new R and

Hello, I have just upgraded from R-2.4.1 to R-2.5.0 for Windows. I had installed a large number of add-on packages under 2.4.1. Is there an easy way to install (or load, if that's the easier way) those packages under 2.5.0, without having to install each package by hand? Thanks, Jeff

Hi, On my laptop, R is installed on windows XP SP2 at D:\Program Files\R\R-2.8.0, and all add-on packages are installed at D:\Program Files\R\R-2.8.0.libs. In addition, I have created two environment enviroment to ease upgrading and installation of packages. Packages installed is a mix of those from CRAN, Bioconductor and local zips.

More and more I am getting warnings from packages that I install that the package was built with 2.7.2 (I am running 2.7.1). I would like to upgrade but don't want to loose all of the packages that I have installed and the settings. Is there a way to just "upgrade" without uninstalling and reinstalling 'R'? Thank you. Kevin

Hi all, My apologies for a very simple question. I just downloaded R 2.6.0. I want to bring in all of the objects from 2.5.0 that I see when I type ls(). I have no idea how to do that.

A minor inconvenience in updating an R installation is remembering which packages were installed previously. Has anyone written a script to inspect a previous installation, then get & install the same packages into the new installation? -- Michael Prager NOAA Center for Coastal Fisheries and Habitat Research Beaufort, North Carolina 28516 Opinions expressed are personal, not official.

Hi, From R 2.6, I would like to update to R2.7. I would like to have some tips on the recommended method of installing the latest versions of an entire list of packages in R2.7 - i.e. all the packages that I have presently installed in R2.6. I am hoping that there is an easier method than fetching the packages individually as I did, to begin with, for R2.6. Additionally, I would like to install

Hi all, I'm looking for a contributed package that can provide a detailed account of missing data patterns and perhaps also provide imputation procedures, such as mean imputation or hot deck imputation and the like. Is there anything out there? Thanks in advance, David -- =========================================================================== David Kaplan, Ph.D. Professor

Greetings, I'm interested in generating data from various bivariate or mulitivariate distributions (e.g. gamma, t, etc), where I can specify the parameter values, including the correlations among the variables. I haven't been able to dig anything up on the faq, but I probably missed something. A nudge in the right direction would be appreciated. David --

Hi list, I want to use the p-value from the survdiff function (package survival) to reuse within a function in a Kaplan-Meier plot. The p-value is somehow not a component of the value list ?! Thanks in advance -- A. Goralczyk G?ttingen, Ger.

Let me try to be more specific. The x y coordinates are different because of NAs in the dataset. In this analysis, a set of hat values (a measure of influence in regression) is given for each observation. On the basis of the regression that was run to get these hat values, the sample size was 1164 (one removed due to NA). The length of the data set is 1165. If I remove the NA from the

Hi When I use the read.table function with header = T, I notice that it gives me the variable names along the top as I expect. But, when I then attempt an analysis, e.g. regression, it doesn't recognize the variable names. Am I missing a step. Thank you David [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

hi R-users, a few days ago R 2.2.1 came out. on my win xp i'installed R 2.2.0. along the time i've installed a lot of contributed packages. my internet-connection is not very fast. so my question: is it possible after installing R 2.2.1 to do copy/paste the contributed packages from the C:\Programme\R221 to the C:\Programme\R2.2.1- location in the files system? or have i to download

I can't seem to figure out why I'm getting this error. The output is copied right off the screen. Notice how in some cases the back slash is missing.

Hi, I'm plotting 5 autocorrelation plots on one page. Using par(mfrow=c(3,2)) everything comes out fine. However, for each plot, it prints a title on top of each plot that says Series followed by the variable name used in the plot. I want to suppress those titles, but I also want a general figure title on the bottom of the page. I've looked at the Murrell book as well as the acf
