Dear helpeRs, a colleague of mine would like to give R a try. He uses econometric models which typically involve a large number of variables, esp. time series. Having no experience with handling very large data sets myself I turn to you. 1. Could you please describe your experiences to cope with these situations? 2. What kind of difficulties will he have to face? Are there special

Dear HelpeRs, I wonder if anyone knows of ways to read EViews file types. I did not find a function in the package 'foreign' and a search query submitted to http://search.r-project.org was not successful. Any hint is very much welcome.

Dear HelpeRs, I'm very fond of Sweave and I use it as often as possible. It'a a pity I can't use it for larger projects or can I? For instance suppose I have three files file1.rnw, file2.rnw and file3.rnw with Sweave code. Working on file2.rnw I whould like to exclude file1.rnw and file3.rnw temporarily and joining all of them later. This amounts to a mechanism similar to using

Hallo HelpeRs, I try to reconstruct some results from an econometric text book (Heij et al. (2004), pp. 218-20). For the data > x <- structure(list(q1 = c(345, 331, 320, 314, 299, 395, 415, 490, 547, 656, 628, 627), d1 = c(1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1.05, 1.05, 1.05, 1.15, 1.15, 1.15)), .Names = c("q1", "d1"), row.names = as.integer(c(NA, 12)), class =

Hi all, I'm having this error, since I'm working with a data matrix I don't understand what's happening; I've tried several ways to solve this, even working with sparse matrix, but nothing seems to solve it, I've also tried svm (with a simple matrix 3*3 and still got the same error. > dados<-read.table("b.txt",sep="",nrows=30000) >

Hello, I would like to know if it is possible to insert LaTeX typesetting in R output. I want to obtain a graph with LaTeX label in order to incorporate it as postscript or pdf, x<-seq(0,1,length=100) y<-x*x plot(x,y,xlab="$X$",ylab="$X^2$")

I have to calculate some formula like: gamma(x)/(gamma(x+y) and I observed that for relatively big values of x, R returns infinity and so cannot compute the formula. Is it possible to force R to give the real value of gamma(x) instead of Inf ? thanks

Dear R-community, not to re-invent the wheel I wonder if someone of you has ever written a function to compute the GHK smooth recursive simulator to estimate multivariate normal probabilities. See for instance page 194 of @BOOK{Greene97, author = {William H. Greene}, year = 1997, title = {Econometric Analysis}, edition = {3rd}, publisher = {Prentice-Hall}, address = {New Jersey

Dear All, I know how to export graphics as pdf files and then how to include them in LaTeX documents. However, I do not know how to do in order to have the text of the graphics written with the font selected for the LaTeX document. Is that possible? Thanks in advance, Paul

I would like to buy a basic statistics book (experimental design, sampling, ANOVA, regression, etc.) with examples in R. Or download it in PDF or html format. I went to the CRAN contributed documentation, but there were only R textbooks, that is, textbooks where R is the focus, not the statistics. And I would like to find the opposite. Other text I am trying to find is multivariate data

Hi All, I have a vector of data, a vector of bin breakpoints and I want to put my data in the bins and then extract fanciful informations like the mean value of each bin. I know I can write my own function, but I would have thought that R should have somewhere a function that took as arguments something like (data, breaks, what to do with the data in the bins). I surey could not find it

I have some data which I would like to display with dotchart. The labels are very long, so the chart becomes too small. Setting cex=0.7 seems to be a good compromise, but the gap between the text and the chart still is too large. I did not find a "gap" parameter in the description of dotchart... Thanks for any help.

The following function delivers all permutations of 1:n. all.perm <- function(n) { p <- matrix(1, ncol = 1) for (i in 2:n) { p <- pp <- cbind(p, i) v <- c(1:i, 1:(i - 1)) for (j in 2:i) { v <- v[-1]

I think I've discovered what went wrong. My workspace included a function wilcox.test formerly copied from ctest. Now ctest ist part of the distribution and because of that I always got the message: [Previously saved workspace restored] Error in autoload("wilcox.test", "ctest") : Object already exists I didn't take care of this message. Now I removed

Hallo everyone, excuse me if this is not a genuine R question but I do not know where to ask else. Referring to e.g. https://stat.ethz.ch/pipermail/r-help/2004-December/062114.html I wonder if these measurements of 3000 criminals (raw data) are available anywhere. At least I didn't find them in the R datasets package or by means of Google. What I did find was a table of frequencies of

Is this a bug? >"xx" <- c(50, 79, 120, 78, 90, 100, 78, 80, + 90, 80, 60, 39, 90, 85, 140, 100, 80, 80) > boxplot.stats(xx)$stats [1] 60 78 80 90 100 > boxplot.stats(0.1*xx)$stats [1] 7.8 7.8 8.0 9.0 10.0 I suppose the way the numbers in 0.1*xx are internally stored may cause this problem: > formatC(0.1*xx[2],format="f",digits=16) [1]
