Hi, people. Executing the following command: hist(rpois(100,5), labels=TRUE) yields a graphic in which some labels are truncated (on an X11 device). The truncated labels are those over the highest bars. The hist function should ideally manage enough room for the labels, automatically. (Specifying ylim solves my problem, but yet, hist could be frienlier.) --please do not edit the

Hi, R friends. I had some difficulty with the following code: qqnorm(freq, log='y') qqline(freq) as the line drawn was seemingly random. The exact data I used appears below. After wandering a bit within the source code for "abline", I figured out I should rather write: qqnorm(freq, log='y') par(ylog=FALSE) qqline(log10(freq)) par(ylog=TRUE)

Hi, people. xy.coords() does not behave like its documentation says, when given some matrices. ?xy.coords says: If 'y' is 'NULL' and 'x' is a [...] formula [...] list [...] time series [...] matrix with two columns [...] In any other case, the 'x' argument is coerced to a vector and returned as *y* component [...] Now, consider this short

Hi, people. The output produced by "?options" contains: 'expressions': sets a limit on the number of nested expressions that will be evaluated. Valid values are 25...500000 with default 1000. [...] and a bit further down: The 'factory-fresh' default settings of some of these options are [...] 'expressions'

Hi, people. ?alist says: 'alist' is like 'list', except in the handling of tagged arguments with no value. As written, this description is misleading. For example: > list(e=3+5) $e [1] 8 > alist(e=3+5) $e 3 + 5 We are not in the situation of tagged arguments with no value, and then, clearly, 'list' and 'alist' behave

Hi, R people. Consider the following small R session: ======================================================================> > a <- c(8.48, 9.58, 9.96) > stem(a) The decimal point is at the | 8 | 8 | 5 9 | 9 | 6 10 | 0 > stem(round(a,1)) The decimal point is at the | 8 | 5 9 | 9 | 6 10 | 0

Hi, people. Here is a transcript of a "R --vanilla" session: ======================================================================> R : Copyright 2005, The R Foundation for Statistical Computing Version 2.2.1 (2005-12-20 r36812) ISBN 3-900051-07-0 R est un logiciel libre livr?? sans AUCUNE GARANTIE.

I noticed that R scripts produce a spurious white line after output. For example, the following shell script, #!/bin/sh R --slave --vanilla <<EOF cat("Hello\n") EOF when made executable under the name ``hello`` along the search path, behaves like this: $ hello | od -bc 0000000 110 145 154 154 157 012 012 H e l l o \n \n 0000007 The second newline is

Dear developeRs, Compilation of the latest version (0.9-5) of my actuar package fails with r-release MacOS_X ix86 on CRAN; see http://www.R-project.org/nosvn/R.check/r-release-macosx-ix86/actuar-00check.html All errors come from accented letters in comments in latin-1 encoded files (except hierarc.R which is in UTF-8, my bad). Encoding is declared as latin-1 in DESCRIPTION. The package

Hello, I use: R version 2.9.2 (2009-08-24) Copyright (C) 2009 The R Foundation for Statistical Computing ISBN 3-900051-07-0 on Ubuntu 9.10, I usually run R from ESS (5.4 on current Unbuntu) from Emacs-22.2.1.

Dear R users, I need to reorder a dataframe using 3 variables for the determine the sorting order. When I create a simple dataframe to test the method, things work as I expected: a1 <- rep(1:10, each=8) a2 <- rep(rep(1:2, each=4), 10) a3 <- rep(c(1:4),20) (a <- data.frame(a1, a2, a3)) for each combination of a1 and a2, a3 is increasing t <- order(a$a1, a$a2, rev(a$a3)) b

Hi, I often have to do this: select a folder (directory) containing a few hundred data files in csv format (up to 1000 files, in fact) open each file, transform some character variables in date-tiime format make into a dataframe (involves getting rid of a few variables I don't need concatenate to the master dataframe that will eventually contain the data from all the files in the

Hi, I don't understand the following. When I create a small artificial set of date information in class POSIXct, I can calculate the mean and the median: a = as.POSIXct(Sys.time()) a = a + 60*0:10; a [1] "2009-03-10 11:30:16 EDT" "2009-03-10 11:31:16 EDT" "2009-03-10 11:32:16 EDT" [4] "2009-03-10 11:33:16 EDT" "2009-03-10 11:34:16

Hi, R people. In ?factor, in the "Examples:" section, we see: ## suppose you want "NA" as a level, and to allowing missing values. (x <- factor(c(1, 2, "NA"), exclude = "")) is.na(x)[2] <- TRUE x # [1] 1 <NA> NA, <NA> used because NA is a level. is.na(x) # [1] FALSE TRUE FALSE I'm a bit confused by this example, as I

Hi, R people. I'm shy reporting this, as a bug in this area sounds very unlikely. Did I make my tests wrongly? I'm still flaky at all this. Let me dare nevertheless, who knows, just in case... Please don't kill me! :-) Not so long ago, I wrote to this list: > (For now, [the library code] works only for me when I do _not_ use `-l > MY/OWN/LIBDIR' at `R CMD INSTALL'

Except for the ability to perform circular recalculation, I believe that the closest programming analogy to a spreadsheet is a functional programming language.

Hi, people. Two days ago, I sent to this list a little toy for exploring polynomiographs (yet, the mathematical formulas were not polynomials anymore, so the name is not really appropriate). After studying R calls, expressions and functions a bit more, I gave myself the homework of producing an animation out of my recent toy. The resulting animation, and also the sources, are available at:

Hi, people. I was a bit intrigued by the message quoted below. Indeed, if pt() is given a matrix, it returns a matrix. Should this feature be documented? ?pt speaks about "a vector of quantiles", and says nothing about the type of what it returns. The same might presumably apply to other distribution-related functions. ----- Forwarded message from Martyn Plummer <plummer at

Hi, people. A tiny suggestion for the system.time function. Could the returned vector have names? These could be like: c("User", "System", "Elapsed", "Sub.User", "Sub.System") That would then produce self-documenting output. -- Fran?ois Pinard http://pinard.progiciels-bpi.ca
