similar to: a Q about R in unix

Dear All, Is there a emacs/xemacs for unix without compiling it? If it is possible, I prefer something that I can use immediately after putting it on the unix server. Is it possible or am I too stupid to ask this kind of question?

Dear Listers, My post might be somewhat OT. Currently, I am trying to use flexmix to build a finite mixture model. For instance, I am getting the prior probability and coefficients for each latent class from training data. Is there a way to get the posterior probablity and prediction of a new dataset? What I am thinking is to apply the prior prob and coefficient from training set to testing data

Dear Lister, plot() is using the data range as the default limits of yaxis. Is there any way I can change the limits? I just look at the help of plot() and par() and couldn't find answers.

Sometimes, it is too costly to read the whole data file into R. I am looking for solution in scan() and read.Lines() but don't they work.

At the suggestion of many people, I have installed emacs on my linux (Fedora 8.0) computer with the intention of using emacs as window interface to R (2.6.0). I have gone though the emacs tutorial and don't see any information about how I should use emacs to run R. Can anyone suggest a document that I might read? In the past I have used R on a Windows XP system and used the built-in windowing

Dear Lister, Is there an interface in R with SQL server that allows me to append records to table in the DB? Might I do that using RODBC? Thanks a lot. -- WenSui Liu A lousy statistician who happens to know a little programming (http://spaces.msn.com/statcompute/blog)

Dear Listers, I have 2 questions regarding xml. 1) how to read/write tables in xml? 2) compared with csv, is xml a better way to transfer data cross systems/applications?

Is there a package or function for multivariate garch model in R? I am having a hard time in locating one. Thanks for help in advance. -Young [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Dear R users, Simply my question is that how it is possible to generate some random numbers using rnorm( ) but in log transformed values. Thank you, Tobias --------------------------------- [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Right now, I am using SAS and S+/R. As a new year resolution, I am planning to learn a scripting language. from statisticians' point of view, which scripting language is worth to learn, perl, python, or any other recommendation? (Most likely, I will be learning it in windows.) Since I am not in research, I will prefer one widely used in industry and related to statistical work. if you

Dear Lister, I understand merge() can be used to join 2 data frames based on 1 variable. But how about merge based on more than 2 variables?

Is there any implementation in R for finding the phase shift between two continuous signals.

Dear R users: I am wondering how to ask for *fixed* number of distributions under parameterized Gaussian mixture model. I know that em() and some related functions can predict the parameterized Gaussian mixture model. However, there seems no parameter to decide number of distributions to be mixed (if we known the value in advance). That is, assume I know the (mixed)data is from 3 different

I have a thirty thousand row data frame imported from excel and a 60,000 row data frame imported from excel. they share a common subset of the same data and I would like to combine the two into one data frame merged together on the data in common. I have looked at the help file for merge and intersect and cbind and rbind etc... And I can't figure it out. Thanks in advance Stephen --

This is the most basic question ever...I haven't used R in a couple years since college so I forget and haven't been able to find what I'm looking for in any of the manuals. I just need to figure out how to load a dataset into the program from excel! Thanks! CL [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Having just update to R 2.6.2 on my old Windows laptop I notice that the number of packages is growing exponentially and my usual approach of get-em-all may not be viable much longer. Has any thought been given to dividing "contributed" binaries into a recommended set, perhaps a couple of hundred, and the remained. That way one could install the recommended ones routinely and add in

Hi All, Sorry that I didn't provide enough information. I've been trying to import SAS xport files that contain multiple files using package foreign's read.xport. I first attempted this back in 2005 and had problems. Some of files that were present in the SAS xport file weren't being created in R. I submitted my problem to the community:
