Just out of curiosity, what is the difference between the terms for package and library ? Why are we loading a package with the library() command ? If this is a case of RTFM, I would be happy to do so if pointed in the right direction. I have searched the FAQ and mail archives and only came up with http://tolstoy.newcastle.edu.au/R/help/05/02/12162.html but this still does not explain what is

Hi! I have browsed the help archives but did not find anything on the subject: How to make publication quality graphs with R best? Is there some document about that topic out there? The problem is that the graphs look nice on the screen but when printed in black and white every color apart from black doesn't look very nice. Is there some guideline how to set color palettes and or fill

Hi R-users, Following this post http://tolstoy.newcastle.edu.au/R/help/06/06/28965.html , how do I get last two rows (or six or ten) by id group out of the data frame? Here the example gives just the last row. Sincere thanks, Lauri [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

This is a follow-up on the discussion originally posted on the R-devel list ( http://tolstoy.newcastle.edu.au/R/e4/devel/08/06/1901.html ), as I have encountered the exact same issue mentioned in Martin's email. Here is a simplified version of my problem: ##================================================================= ## I created a package, say, "tmpA", with a NAMESPACE with

Dear all, I have a matrix X with 47 lines and say 500 columns - values are in {0,1}. I'd like to compare lines. For that, I first did: for (i in 1:(dim(X)[1]-1)) for (j in (i+1):dim(X)[1]) { Y <- X[i,]+Y[j,] etc. but, since it takes a long time, I would prefer avoding loops; for that, my first idea was to add this matrix: X1=X[,rep(1:46,46:1)] to this one: res=NULL for (i in

Hi, First, let me thank Jaroslaw for making this survey. I find it quite illuminating. Now the questions: * the #1 solution below (based on cumsum) is numerically unstable. Specifically if you do the runmean on a positive vector you can easily get negative numbers due to rounding errors. Does anyone see a modification which is free of this deficiency? * is it possible to optimize the

R-helpers: I have a dataset that has 168 subjects and 12 variables. Some of the variables have missing data and I want to use the multiple imputation capabilities of the "mice" package to address the missing data. Given that mice only supports linear models and generalized linear models (via the lm.mids and glm.mids functions) and that I need to fit Cox models, I followed the previous

Dear all, I already posted a question regarding this to an existing thread: http://tolstoy.newcastle.edu.au/R/e2/devel/06/10/0852.html#start I apologize for the double posting but I have some further information that might be illuminating. I am trying to cross-compile my R-package under ubuntu linux, kernel 2.6.17-10-generic, on an IBM T60. I am following the suggested steps in

r-help: I have an R package suggestion. After spending several hours the other day installing about a dozen packages, I had an idea. In xemacs, there is a "sumo" package which allows me to install a large bundle of xemacs packages at one time (about a 120 modes including ESS). I think R should have a similar bundle. It would be so much easier than hunting/downloading/installing.

Hi, I've been trying to pass a character vector from R to a FORTRAN subroutine. There have been several posts discussing this issue (e.g. http://tolstoy.newcastle.edu.au/R/help/98a/0547.html, http://tolstoy.newcastle.edu.au/R/help/05/10/13558.html, http://tolstoy.newcastle.edu.au/R/help/01a/2577.html, http://tolstoy.newcastle.edu.au/R/help/01c/1795.html,

Hello! I have already reported on this behaviour at [1] and now I have checked the same example on r-devel and the problem is still there. Thomas Lumley inidicated problem [2]. Example: n <- 50 x <- runif(n=n) y1 <- 2 * x + rnorm(n=n) y2 <- 5 * x + rnorm(n=n) y2[sample(1:n, size=5)] <- NA y <- cbind(y1, y2) ## Goes ok here fit <- lm(y1 ~ 1,

Hi list,I apologize if you see funny fonts, b/c I'm using the new Windows Live Hotmail and don't know how to turn off the "rich text" mode.....I have successfully built and installed a R package in windowsXP for R-2.5.1.

Dear R users, I have multi-argument returns in a function and I am warned by the program they are deprecated. I have found this in the R-help archives : http://tolstoy.newcastle.edu.au/R/help/01c/0319.html http://tolstoy.newcastle.edu.au/R/help/01c/0356.html Since I am not too good at programming, the list solution seems the better one for me. It is also the one advocated by Kevin Murphy. So

Hello, I started writing this email to describe a problem, then fixed it, so I'll display my ignorance anyway in case other people have a problem with it. What happened was that I could get apt-get to upgrade the documentation packages, but not the others. What I think was the problem was some remaining r-cran-* packages that are now in r-recommended. These seemed to be blocking the

hi all i am having a problem with the expression/paste command say we estimate a variable, named PHI it contains the value of say 2 and we want to display this value as " hat(phi) = PHI" onto a graphic i.e. " hat(phi)=2 " how does one do this? i've tried the following: 1. legend(-5,.3,expression(hat(phi)*"="*PHI)) 2.

Hello, I would like to try to fit a GEE with user-specified link function.

Hi everyone, Firstly, I'm sorry for the cross-post. I re-read the posting guide and it appears my question is more related to r-devel.... (i think :-) ) I downloaded the source code available at: http://cran.fhcrc.org/src/base/R-2/R-2.4.0.tar.gz to a linux machine (Linux 2.6.11-1.1369_FC4smp #1 SMP). I successfully configured and compiled it, which means I'm able to run it from the
