I need to make a graphic to show problems on different parts of chromosomes (think of a graphic showing the number of frayed threads as colors along different parts of a worn out rope). I want to draw bars going from left to right across a page and color different parts of the bars in different shades. Each graphic will need to have several bars of different lenghts corresponding to the

Dear all, I am a new user of R. I would like to know how to get fund's returns in percentage (%). For example, I use: R <- ts(read.xls("FundData"), frequency = 12, start = c(1996, 1)) Whith this program, the returns are like 0.0152699. But, I would like to have 1.52%. Please advise me about the function. Thanks! Fabrice

Dear list, Hello! I have a question about how to print a label in the plot. I am using the following code: <pdf("mel4_chr3_11cancer_cghFLasso.pdf", height=6, width=5);plot(Disease.FL, index=i, type="Single",main="Plot of Labels");dev.off(); But "Plot of Labels" has not been printed. Any suggestions? Thanks a lot! Allen

Hello, I would like to know what I do it to test correlation between ordered categorical variables. Tendancy Chi test? Thank you, Melle Lejeune Julie [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Hello fellow R's, I'm sure there must be an easy way to do this. But after digging in the documentation and thinking about it for a while I couldn't figure it out. I need to get a decreasing recursive vector in. I mean something like this: if starting at 2, and ending at 6, the vector should be 2 3 4 5 6 3 4 5 6 4 5 6 5 6 6 An easy way would be to do this x <-

Hello R list, I need to compute empirical variograms using data from a large geographic area (~10^6 km2). Although I could not find a specific reference, I assume that both geoR and gstat calculate distances among data points assuming points are on a flat surface (using the Pythagorean Theorem). Because the location of my data is large and located near the pole, assuming that latitude and

Dear list, I?m using the ?mgcv? package to fit some GAMs. Some of my covariates are derived quantities and have an associated standard error, so I would like to incorporate this uncertainty into the GAM estimation process. Ideally, during the estimation process less importance would be given to observations whose covariates have high standard errors. The gam() function in the ?mgcv? package

Is there a list of object types used by R? Is there a function that I can use to tell the type of an object? Thanks a bunch, Ray [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Dear list, Could someone show me where can I find the detailed formula on how to calculate the two way anova with unbalanced design? Say, if I have 2*2 design with 10,20,30,40 samples in each of the 2*2 cells. Most of the places I've googled only show how to calculate using software such as R, but not clear the detailed formula for calculating this. Thanks, Jack [[alternative HTML version

Hi All, I am new in R and trying to simulate random normal 2D field with mean trend say north-south. My domain is 10x10 grid and I am trying to use mvnorm but do not know how to specify the domain and the mean field. I would appreciate any help.

Hi. I am plotting graphs for values ranging between -1 and 10, for example: (1,2,1,1,6,7,-1,-1,5,-1) I am trying to plot the graphs so that the points with value of -1 will be in one specific color, and the rest of the points will be in one different specific color. I would be grateful for any idea of how to do that in two colors. Thanks for any hint. -- View this message in context:

I have the code below and it works fine if I print the xyplot but if I take the print out, then I just get a blank pdf. The same holds if I just send the plot to the console without the print ( I get nothing ). My question is whether this is always the case with xyplot or is there something wrong with my settings ? I am on linux ( redhat ) and using R.2.5.0. Thanks. load("stocks.dat")

Hi All, I am busy using R to do some regression modelling and have been using plot(x,y,"") to visualise my variables. I would now like to label my points using data stored in the data.frame used for the regression analysis. For example each of my data points is made up of a field measured forest volume value and a remotely sensed vegetation estimate (NDVI). Each point is an enumeration

I'm interested in writing a function that constructs a new plot on the current graphics device if no plot exists there yet, but adds lines to the existing plot if a plot is already there. How can I do this? It seems to me that the exists() function might be co-opted to do this, but it's not obvious how. Many thanks, Roger -- Roger Levy Email: rlevy at ucsd.edu

Hi I am working on R 2.5.0 on window. I am trying to provide a Hyper-link to the user as a result, I have tried using gtkLinkButton to exercise the facility, however, i am not able to perform the required task, i.e. when I clicked on the LinkButton actually nothing happened. I have gone through the documentation for the same and found that GtkLinkButtonUriFunc is a function which is require to

Hello. I would like to estimate the correlation coefficient from two samples with Bootstrapping using the R-function sample(). The problem is, that I have to sample pairwise. For example if I have got two time series and I draw from the first series the value from 1912 I need the value from 1912 from the second sample, too. Example: Imagine that a and b are two time series with returns for

Hi there! Still struggling to translate Matlab code into R's tsDyn package. Here is my question: Is there in R an equivalent function to Matlab's prctile()? To the moment I thought it was quantile(), but I just realized I was wrong. The definition of the Matlab function: prctile Percentiles of a sample SyntaxY = prctile(X,p) Description Y = prctile(X,p) calculates a value that is

Dear R users, I've had no joy finding a solution to this online or in any of my R books. Many thanks in advance for any help you can give. I'm seeking to output a data frame (or matrix - it doesn't matter which for my purposes) to a .txt file, but omit any row or column names. The data frame that I'm using doesn't actually have column or row names to start with as it has been

Dear list, I do apologize if these are basic questions. I am fitting some GAM models using the mgcv package and following the model selection criteria proposed by Wood and Augustin (2002, Ecol. Model. 157, p. 157-177). One criterion to decide if a term should be dropped from a model is if the estimated degrees of freedom (EDF) for the term are close to their lower limit. What would be the
