I wonder how one in R can fit a 3rd degree polynomial to some data? Say the data is: y <- c(15.51, 12.44, 31.5, 21.5, 17.89, 27.09, 15.02, 13.43, 18.18, 11.32) x <- seq(3.75, 6, 0.25) And resulting degrees of polynomial are: 5.8007 -91.6339 472.1726 -774.2584 THanks in advance! -- Jonas Malmros Stockholm University Stockholm, Sweden

Hello, I have a vector of names, say : names <- c("Factor 1", "Factor 2", Factor 3") I am creating a dataframe and I want the column names to be mixed like this: "Factor 1" " Sign Factor 1" "Factor 2" "Sign Factor 2" "Factor 3" "Sign Factor 3" How can I automate the creation of such a mixed vector? I tried

Bill, Alberto, Gabor, Thank you for answering my question. Now I learned about outer() function. That was a straightforward example. But what if I had a matrix, where the last column was filled with values first (again, a for loop), and the rest was filled by using a double loop? OVal <- matrix(0, n+1, n+1) for(i in 0:n){ OVal[i+1, n+1] <- max(Val[i+1, n+1]-K, 0) } for(i in seq(n,1,

Hi, i'm trying to read some data from excel files but it seems that neither xlsReadWrite nor sqlFetch (RODBC) doesn't like the format (Excel 5.0). When i open the file in Excel and save it in a new format Excel 97 -2003 everything works fine. Is it possible to use ODBC connection to open old format files, or i guess i will have to open and save every file in Excel in new format, which

I'm an R newbie and had a question about the read.xls function. I've heard that this is often not a reliable function to use for importing data. However, I have created numerous xls files which contain information about voter turnout and macroeconomic indicators in India. I'm writing a paper on the relationship between economic growth and voter turnout. This is the command I use:

Dear R experts, I am trying to import some data from some Excle files into R. My Excle file contains about 50 sheets. One solution I can think about is to convert my Excle file into csv file first and then load data into R using 'read.csv'. But it seems to me that 'read.csv' only supports reading one sheet (or 'one file') each time, so that seems I have to create 50 csv

Hello, My response variable seems to be distributed according to Student t with df=4. I have 320 observations and about 20 variables. I am wondering whether there is a way to fit glm with Student t for error distribution. Student t is not one of the family choices in glm function. How should I proceed to fit glm with Student t? I know that Student t is the Inverse Gamma with shape parameter

Dear List, I am trying to solve a problem: I have approximately 100 Excel spreadsheets each with approximately 4 sheet each that I would like to download and import in R for analysis. Unfortunately i realized (i also sent an email to the author or xlsReadWrite() ) that the read.xls() doesn't allow to import the file in R from internet. Here it is the the code:

library(xlsReadWrite) mydata<-read.xls("file path", header=TRUE) however if I change xls to csv it works just fine. Any ideas what I'm doing wrong? I have have also using the package gdata with the exact same error. Below is the error that pops up. Error in findPerl(verbose = verbose) : perl executable not found. Use perl= argument to specify the correct path. Error in

Dear R-experts, It is a quite stupid question but please help me. I am very confuced.

The .xls-file is attached. In my file we use commas for the decimal format (example: 0,712), changes might be needed. Thanks, Corinna

Hi everybody, I wonder if there is a built-in function similar to Matlab's "normfit" which computes 95% CI based on the normality assumption. So, I have a vector of values and I want to calculate 95% normal CI. Of course, I could write my own function, no problem, but I still wonder if built-in functionality exists. (I wish quantile() had this functionality included). Anyone knows?

Hello everyone, What is the simplest, most RELIABLE way to import data from MS EXCEL (.xls) format to R?
