Hi I know how to referenc R in a scientific paper - but is there a standardised way to reference packages?

Hi I am trying to install the package "pheno", but it needs the package "nprq" by Roger Koenker et al. which I can I find this package? It does not seem to be on CRAN and googling also doesn't give me an URL - is it still somewhere available?

Hi I have a plist t which contains size measurements of individual plants, identified by the field "plate". It contains, among other, a field "year" indicating the year in which the individual was measured and the "height". The number of measurements range from 1 to 4 measurements in different years. My problem is that I would need the LAST measurement. I only

Hello everyone, I run R on Gentoo Linux and this week I upgraded R from 2.5.0 to 2.6.0. With the new build, I have stumbled upon an unpleasant problem: I can no longer install packages from CRAN through a transparent proxy. With the previous version, I simply added to /usr/lib/R/etc/Renviron the following line and it functioned like a charm: ## Proxy settings http_proxy="SERVER:3128"

Hi I use the following code and it stores the results of density() in the list dr: dens <- function(run) { density( positions$X[positions$run==run], bw=3, cut=-2 ) } dr <- lapply(1:5, dens) but the results are stored in dr[[i]] and not dr[i], i.e. plot(dr[[1]]) works, but plot([1]) doesn't. Is there any way that I can store them in dr[i]? Thanks a lot, Rainer -- Rainer M. Krug,

Hi is it possible to specify the shape of the point to be used in ggplot (as with pch in plot)? I couldn't find anything in the help. Thanks Rainer -- Rainer M. Krug, Dipl. Phys.

Hi I have a table called npl containing results of simulations. It contains about 19000 entries and the structure looks like this: NoPlants sim run year DensPlants 1 6 lng_cs99_renosterbos 1 4 0.00192 . . . it has 43 different entries for sim and year goes from 1 to 100, and run from 1 to 5. I would like to calculate the mean of DensPlants for each

Hi I have the following code which I would like to simplify. Id does linear regressions and returns the r-squares, and the coefficients. It runs slow, as it is doing the regressions for each - is it possible to get the values in a dataframe which looks as follow: expert | xx | seeds | r.squared | slope | intercept Thanks in advance, Rainer library(reshape) rsqs <- as.data.frame(

Hi is there an alternative to par(new), for ading data to a plot for a different y-axis? My problem with par(new=TRUE) is, that it re-defines all axis and labels (as in example 1) and one has to use xlim=... to fix the x-axis. I am looking for something, which simply resets the y-axis, so that a new plot() (or points()/lines()) keeps the x-axis, but re-defines the y-axis. Is there something

Hi I have problems installing R 2.1.1. from rpm (R-base-2.2.0-1.i586.rpm) on SuSE 10. It installs fine, all dependances are OK (at least Yast does not complain) but when I try to run R, it gives the following error message: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/libblas.so.3: undefined symbol: _gfortran_filename and R quits. blas version: 3.0-926 Any help appreciated, Rainer -- -- Rainer M.

Hi I asked about if there is any way of opening URLs from the help browser in the same window of the same dillo browser - here is the answer.

Hi I heard so much about Emacs and ESS that I decided to try it out - but I am stuck at the beginning. Is there anywhere a beginners manual for Emacs & ESS to be used with R? even M-x S tells me it can't start S-Plus - obviously - but I want it to start R... Any help welcome (otherwise I will be stuck with Eclipse and R) Rainer -- Rainer M. Krug, Dipl. Phys. (Germany), MSc

Hi I generate a new dataframe by doing: npl.agg <- aggregate(npl$DensPlants, list(year=npl$year, sim=npl$sim), mean, na.rm=TRUE ) Now I want to plot it by using coplot(npl.agg$x ~ npl.agg$year | npl.agg$sim, type="l") but, as npl.agg$year is seen as a factor, the order of the points on the x-axis (time axis) does not follow the numerical sorting 1...100, but rather the text

Hi R experts :) I'm trying to carry out a survival model on my data, but I am unsure of whether it's appropriate or if I should do something specific in regards to hazard. My data is time to death by predator where I have 8 prey and one predator in the setting. This means that two prey can't possibly die at the same time and I can't quite get my head around how to include this in

Hi I upgraded to R 2.10.0, and I encounter a problem with some packages on R, installed via apt-get.. They are still compiled by 2.9 and give me an warning when I load the packages. Will these packages be recompiled with R 2.10, or should I rather switch to self-compiling? Cheers, Rainer -- Rainer M. Krug, PhD (Conservation Ecology, SUN), MSc (Conservation Biology, UCT), Dipl.

Hi is there an easy and fast way, to generate a BibTeX file of all installed / loaded packages and R?

Hi I have (8 measures * 96 groups) = 768 datasets for which I did linear regressions using lm(). Now I want to compare the slopes for each of the 8 measures in each of the 96 groups. As I understand , I can not use > anova(lm1, ..., lm8) as the lm1 ... lm8 are based on different datasets. I also read in previous discussions in this list, that I can see if the slope +- stddev(slope)

Hi, I would like to find out the coordinates of the intersection points of 2 density curves. I did a search but i didn't get any significant results. I really hope some of you have some ideas. here it is an example: set.seed(123) x1 <- rnorm(100, 1, 1) x2 <- rnorm(100, 0, 1) d1 <- density(x1) d2 <- density(x2) plot(d1, col = 2) lines(d2, col = 4) Now i would like to know
