Dear expRts, when I try to build a package by myself, the process fails writing the following messages to 00install.out: * Installing *source* package 'dynalc' ... ** libs WARNING: no source files found chmod: Zugriff auf ?/home/hannes/texte/forschung/clot/programme/dynalc.Rcheck/dynalc/libs/*? nicht m?glich: No such file or directory ** R ** data ** inst ** help Note: removing empty

What is the least surprising way of initializing a factor with predefined levels and with length 0? as.factor(c("eins", "zwei", "drei"))[FALSE] does the job but looks a bit weird. -- Johannes H?sing There is something fascinating about science.

I am failing to uncover Sweave chunks step by step using the LaTeX beamer class. The following minimal example: \documentclass{beamer} \usepackage{Sweave} \begin{document} \begin{frame}[fragile] In the year \uncover<2->{25}\uncover<3->{\Sexpr{5*5}} \uncover<4->{ <<echo=TRUE, print=TRUE>>= 5*5*101 @ } \end{frame} \end{document} leads to an error message when

Whenever I try to load the Matrix package, I get the following error message: libRlapack.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory A file with that name is indeed not on the hard disk. I am using the R version which comes with Ubuntu Hardy Heron LTS. Here is the output of R.Version(): R.Version() $platform [1] "i486-pc-linux-gnu" $arch [1] "i486" $os [1]

I am about to give an introduction to R to some clinical data managers used to SAS. There is already a lot of material in printed form and on the web that paves the way. What I haven't found so far are text wrapping capabilities in setting tables in raw text as in SAS PROC REPORT. At the moment i would direct them at producing HTML output from R and pipe the result through lynx. Coming from

I am still trying to build a package. At the moment I am stuck with a file not found error message when processing R code from the tests subdirectory. What would be the accurate relative path for files in the tests directory to access files in the data directory? -- Johannes H?sing There is something fascinating about science.

Hi all, I can't come over a problem with formula. Suppose I have a coxmod model with the following formula: > somemod$formula Surv(lebzeit, tot == 1) ~ sex + (alter >= 65) + diff3k + zelltyp_k_c + q_nuc_3k + kar_k80_g80 + stadium and I want to drop the stadium explanatory variable from the model with > update(somemod, ". ~ . - stadium") I get the following messages:

I am trying to model survival data with a Weibull distribution using survreg. Units are clustered two apiece, sometimes receiving the same treatment and sometimes opposing treatment.

This is very possibly not a question on R. I was under the impression that the argument that gives rise to Fisher's LSD method in ANOVA works in other situations with three-way comparisons too, given that formal logic works the same ("if the omnibus test rejects, only two of the three groups may be equal, and therefore only one hypothesis can be rejected falsely"). However, when I

I have just installed version 2.6.0 of R using the Ubuntu Dapper Drake packages from CRAN. I picked the installation option of overwriting the existing config files. Since then, R starts with an error message which I don't quite get because the function it claims not to have found can be called nicely. It wouldn't bug me at all, but R CMD Sweave is a bit more picky than me and dies after

Dear ExpRts, I would like to perform a function with two arguments over the rows of two matrices. There are a couple of *applys (including mApply in Hmisc) but I haven't found out how to do it straightforward. Applying to row indices works, but looks like a poor hack to me: sens <- function(test, gold) { if (any(gold==1)) { sum(test[which(gold==1)]/sum(which(gold==1))) } else NA }

Dear all, I am trying to use the clipboard when writing a table. Typing: write.table(object, file="clipboard") leads to the message: Fehler in file(file, ifelse(append, "a", "w")) : 'mode' f?r die Zwischenablage muss unter Unix 'r' sein My interpretation is that I am not allowed to write into the clipboard from a program called from R. Is there a

Dear lists, I'm in my process of learning of writing a function. I tried to write a simple functions of a matrix and a vector. Here are the codes: mm<-function(m,n){ #matrix function w<-matrix(nrow=m, ncol=n) for(i in 1:m){ for(j in 1:n){ w[i,j]=i+j } } return(w[i,j]) } v<-function(n){ #function of a vector y=vector(length=n)

There have been several constructive responses to John Sorkin's comment, but none of them are fully satisfactory. Of course, if you know the name of the function you are looking for, there are lots of ways to search — provided that everyone calls the function by a name that matches your search. If you think there might be a function, but you don't know the name, then you have

The other day I was looking into one of the classics in resampling, Eugene Edgington's "Randomization Tests". This type of test is simple to do in R with things like a simple correlation, the sample () function is perfect for the purpose. However, things are more complex if you have grouped data, like a one-way ANOVA. The reason is that you have to avoid the consideration of

Hi, I was wondering if anybody might have a reference for me: My R code is growing and getting more and more confusing. Thus, I figure it's time to switch to object-oriented again. I have done oo programming in C++ and Java before but the first few tutorial on R oo were a bit confusing for me. Is there any brief tutorial on oo programming in R especially for people who have done oo in Java

I'm guessing there's a more efficient way to do the following using the index features of R. Appreciate any thoughts.... for (i in 1:nrow(dbs1)){ if(dbs1$Payor[i] %in% Payor.Group.Medicaid) dbs1$Payor.Group[i] = "Medicaid" if(dbs1$Payor[i] %in% Payor.Group.Medicare) dbs1$Payor.Group[i] = "Medicare" if(dbs1$Payor[i] %in% Payor.Group.Commercial)

To Whom It May Concern: I have an R package and want to put this package be part of R-project and available to anyone who is interested in.

Hi, I am a new user of R 2.8.1. I use Tinn-R for code editing. I use a windows 2003 system with 1 GB RAM. I am interested to generate dashboard and reports based on data from MS Access. These reports need to be posted on a weekly basis to the web. The reporting interface should provide facilities for "what if" scenarios. Is it possible to interface R analysis results to good open
