I'm trying to get R, Sweave, ESS and XEmacs or emacs all installed and working together on my Windows XP Pro system. I've got R 2.6.0 working just fine, installed from the R Windows installer. I also have CYGWIN_NT-5.1 with XEmacs 21.4 working okay. Can anyone point me to any documentation on how to bring these together so that R code typed in Xemacs can be run in R? I found the ESS

I'm trying to replicate some of the examples from my textbook in R (my text uses Minitab). In this problem, I'm trying to construct a 95% confidence interval for these distance measurements [1]: > # Case Study 7.4.1, p. 483 > x <- scan() 1: 62 52 68 23 34 45 27 42 83 56 40 12: Read 11 items > alpha<-.95 > mean(x) + qt(c((1-alpha)/2, 1-((1-alpha)/2)), df=length(x)-1) *

I hope this question is sufficiently different from the other requests for book recommendations that it's not repetitious. If not, I apologize in advance. I'm curious what standard reference books working statisticians, or biostatisticians, have within easy reach of their desk. I'm a computer systems administrator, and have a two-foot bookshelf directory under my monitor that contains

Is this how a t hypothesis test is done when I don't have the actual data, but just the summarized statistics: > #Homework 9.2.6 [1] > n<-31 > xbar<-3.10 > s_x<-1.469 > m<-57 > ybar<-2.43 > s_y<-1.35 > s_pooled<- (((n-1)*s_x^2) + ((m-1)*s_y^2)) / (n + m - 2) > s_pooled [1] 1.939521 > t_obs <- (xbar - ybar) / (s_pooled * (sqrt(1/n + 1/m)))

[If I knew who to report this to privately, I would. Sorry to embarrass anyone who's just trying to contribute to the R-project.] There seems to be some oddities with the RSiteSearch web page. When I enter 'RSiteSearch("console")' I'm taken to http://search.r-project.org/cgi-bin/namazu.cgi?query=console&max=20&resu

There must be a better way to select the rows after 22-Apr-2004 and before 01-Sep-2004 with a temperature below 65 than this: > before2sw1 <- subset(energy.data, as.Date(start, format="%d-%b-%y") < as.Date("01-Sep-04", format = "%d-%b-%y")) > before2sw2 <- subset(before2sw1, as.Date(start, format="%d-%b-%y") >=

I've been working with R for all of about 8 hours, so anyone with more experience than this should be able to help me. General comments about my methods of work are also welcomed. I have a table that I've imported thusly: > w <- read.table("woodford.data", header=T) > w start therms gas KWHs elect temp days 1 10-Jun-98 9 16.84 613 63.80 75 40 2

I'm trying to solve a homework problem using R. The problem gives a list of cricket chirps per second and corresponding temperature, and asks to give the equation for the linear model and then predict the temperature to produce 18 chirps per second. So far, I have: > # Homework 11.2.1 and 11.3.3 > chirps <- scan() 1: 20 2: 16 3: 19.8 4: 18.4 5: 17.1 6: 15.5 7: 14.7 8: 17.1 9: 15.4

I think I've gotten my Emacs/Sweave/R system set up correctly, thanks to Vincent and Jim, but I haven't been successful getting my first document produced. I'm trying to use one of Friedrich Leisch's examples, http://www.ci.tuwien.ac.at/~leisch/Sweave/example-1.Snw. I cut and pasted the text into a document sweaveexample.Rnw in Emacs. It seemed to be processed successfully with R:

I'm looking for a function in R similar to t.test() which was generously pointed out to me yesterday, but which can be used for normally distributed data. To recap yesterday: > x <- scan() 1: 62 52 68 23 34 45 27 42 83 56 40 12: Read 11 items > alpha<- .05 > t.test(x) One Sample t-test data: x t = 8.8696, df = 10, p-value = 4.717e-06 alternative hypothesis: true

We just studied randomized block design analysis in my statistics class, and I'm trying to learn how to do them in R. I'm trying to duplicate a case study example from my textbook [1]: > # Case Study 13.2.1, page 778 > cd <- c(8, 11, 9, 16, 24) > dp <- c(2, 1, 12, 11, 19) > lm <- c(-2, 0, 6, 2, 11) > table <- data.frame(Block=LETTERS[1:5], "Score

I'm attempting the heruclean task of teaching myself Introductory Statistics and R at the same time. I'm working through Peter Dalgaard's Introductory Statistics with R, but don't understand why the answer to one of the exercises works. I'm hoping someone will have the patience to explain the answer to me, both in the statistics and R areas. Exercise 6.1 says: The zelazo data

I'm trying to learn statistics and R at the same time. I have an undergraduate science degree and one year of calculus (30 years ago), but never took a stats course. I hope to take some stats courses in the next year, but thought I would start to see how much I could teach myself. I work for an organization that analyses behavior change communication programs regarding HIV/AIDS and

[Yes, this is related to a homework problem, but is not the problems itself.] In my mathematical statistics class, we've just learned about properties of estimators, and I can now solve manually problems like this: A sample of size n = 16 is drawn from a normal distribution where sigma = 10 but mu is unknown. If mu = 20, what is the probability that the estimator mu hat = Y bar will lie

I've been given the job of extracting some data from the United States 2000 census (files at http://www2.census.gov/census_2000/datasets/Summary_File_2/Maryland/all_ Maryland.zip 52M). I'm only interested in Census Block Groups (CBGs) located within Baltimore City, Maryland. Additionally, I just have to extract certain data fields. I think I'll be using Summary File 2. This is my first

Hi, I wanted the DICE coefficient (similarity measure for binary variables) to be calculated in R and found that the "igraph" package has the option of "similarity.dice" to do this. But, for this command, the input object should be an igraph object. But, I have a dataframe of columns containing 1's and 0's. Can I convert this dataframe into an igraph object, so that

Hallo I am teaching a very elementary intro course about R, and want to show the students how to find the distribution of the maximum of rolling two balanced die. Is there perhaps a more elegant way to do this, other than the way I am using below? (I would like to show them two ways - the one shown here, and perhaps and improved/elegant approach (showing off the "beauty" of R.

Hello All, A colleague of mine started working with R and out of curiosity I did some research on the language. Very nice. In my opinion this is one of the best languages I've found for getting tasks I'm interested in done. I wrote this simple die roller and was curious to know if it is R enough. ############################################################################## #

Hi there, I'm writing a function that calculates the probability of different outcomes of dice rolls (e.g., the sum of the highest three rolls of five six-sided dice). I'm using the "combinations" function from the "gtools" package, which is great: it gives me a matrix with all of the possible combinations (with repetitions allowed). Now I want to count the number
