I want to create a list based on the information from a data.frame, Model. So I tried the following: MyList <- list(colnames(Model)[2] = levels(Model$(colnames(Model)[2]))) but it failed with an error: Error: unexpected '=' in "list(colnames(Model)[2] =" I have the following problems with this command line: (1) I wanted to use colnames(Model)[2] as a tag for the list:

For some unknown reason I stopped receiving any messages from the R- help mailing list. See if this test gets through. Thanks, Gang

Hi experts, I just started to learn R today, and tried to work with an add-on package sem. I have a version of 2.3.1 on MacOS X 10.4.6 with sem put under /Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Versions/2.3/Resources/library However when I typed library(sem) the following error showed up: Error in library(sem) : 'sem' is not a valid package -- installed < 2.0.0? Why is this? Thank

I want to run deconvolution of a time series by an impulse or point-spread function through Wiener filter, regularized filter, Lucy-Richardson method, or any other approaches. I searched the CRAN website and the mailing list archive, but could not find any package for such a deconvolution analysis. Does anybody know an existing R function for deconvolution? TIA, Gang

Suppose I have a 4-D array X with dimensions (dx, dy, dz, dp). I want to collapse the first 3 dimensions of X to make a 2-D array Y with dimensions (dx*dy*dz, dp). Instead of awkward looping, what is a good way to do this? Is there a similar function like reshape in Matlab? Thanks, Gang

This must be very simple, but I'm stuck. I have a command line in R defined as a variable of a string of characters. How can I convert the variable so that I can execute it in R? Really appreciate any help, Gang

Suppose I have a mixed-effects model where yij is the jth sample for the ith subject: yij= beta0 + beta1(age) + beta2(age^2) + beta3(age^3) + beta4(IQ) + beta5(IQ^2) + beta6(age*IQ) + beta7(age^2*IQ) + beta8(age^3 *IQ) +random intercepti + eij In R how can I get an F test against the null hypothesis of beta6=beta7=beta8=0? In SAS I can run something like contrast age*IQ 1,

Hi there, Maybe people who know both R and econometrics will be able to answer my questions. I want to run panel regressions in R with fixed-effect. I know two ways to do it. First, I can include factor(grouping_variable) in my regression equation. Second, I plan to subtract group mean from my variables and run OLS panel regression with function lm(). I plan to do it with the second way because

Dear all, Can anybody tell me how to export a 3d figure made with the plot3d function? I'm careless about whether it's still interactive or not in another format, as long I can get it out of R.

Dear R users I would like to do some spreadsheet style expansion of dates. For example, I would need to obtain a vector of months. I approached in an obviously wrong way: > paste(01:12) [1] "1" "2" "3" "4" "5" "6" "7" "8" "9" "10" "11" "12" > as.Date(paste(01:12),

Dear all, Given the following vector: > (z <- c('R project', 'hello world', 'something Else')) [1] "R project" "hello world" "something Else" I know how to obtain all capitals or all lower case letters: > tolower(z) [1] "r project" "hello world" "something else" > toupper(z) [1] "R

Dear all, I'm trying to gsub() "%" with "\%" with no obvious success. > temp1 <- c("mean", "sd", "0%", "25%", "50%", "75%", "100%") > temp1 [1] "mean" "sd" "0%" "25%" "50%" "75%" "100%" > gsub("%",

Dear all Is there an equivalent of "R CMD Sweave" for brew [1] documents? Something in the lines of "R CMD brew"? Can R be configured to parse brew documents from the commandline, without opening an interactive R session and issuing the following? require(brew) brew("featurefull.brew") I would like to set a LyX converter for brew documents, and for this I'd need

Dear all, i am new in R. I am writing a review paper about batteries. However, i am interested in analyzing all the papers by keywords, author, references and year. This could be done by "refviz" a software, which is only running on windows machines and which is not free. So my question to you is, is it somehow possible to write a script that can do all of this work? And if yes, with

I want to analyze binary, multinomial, and count outcomes (as well as the occasional continuous one) for clustered data. The more I search the less I know, and so I'm hoping the list can provide me some guidance about which of the many alternatives to choose. The nlme package seemed the obvious place to start. However, it seems to be using specifications from nls, which does non-linear

Dear all Is there an easier way to retrieve the name of an object? For example, > tmp <- 1:10 > as.character(quote(tmp)) [1] "tmp" > as.character(quote(mtcars$cyl)) [1] "$" "mtcars" "cyl" > as.character(quote(mtcars$cyl))[3] [1] "cyl" The last call more than anything seems a hack. Is there a better way? Thank you Liviu
