Folks, Two simple questions : (1) I have a data set (call it data.xls) in a folder in my hard drive. How do I perform a simple regression between two variables from that data set? After I click on 'R', what exactly do I type in? (2) Where do I get to see the complete library of packages offered by R? In particular, I am interested in quantile regression and logistic regression.

Thanks in advance - am looking for a Tutorial for doing basic stats. I have already looked/looking at the R-intro.pdf at the R site. Regards BK [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Dear R users, I have spent most of this day figuring out how to read STATA data into R (which eventually worked) and to run a simple OLS regression. It seems that the manuals are written in the most general and abstract way which does not really make it easy to understand what's going on. I'd be glad if somebody could save my day by: telling me how to define a matrix from the

I started with the idea of simply producing two vectors (time and date) The first part ( time) is easy. rep(1:24, 365) But how do I get a series of 24 dates for O1 January 2005 and repeat this to 31 December 2005. It should be easy but I don't see it. Thanks

Hi All, I think i'm failing to undersatnd how aggregate() is supposed to work. example: test1<-sample(c(0,1),100,replace=T) test2<-sample(letters,100,replace=T) aggregate(test1,list(test2),sum) Error in data.frame(w, lapply(y, unlist, use.names = FALSE)) : arguments imply differing number of rows: 26, 0 I thought this would give me a list containing the number of ones that

I am aware about the debate concerning adjusted means, but you guys just have to trust me - it
