similar to: adjusting y axis labels in lattice plots?

Hello Since I changed my X11 settings to a Xinerama setup, calls to x11() result in windows with a width half the size of the one specified by the corresponding parameter. Furthermore, x axis labels are overlapping. Other devices (e.g. pdf()), are not affected by these distortions. Did anybody have the same problem, and if so, how did you solve it? ( I'm using openSUSE 10.3 on a x86

Full_Name: Thomas Zumbrunn Version: 2.6.1 OS: GNU/Linux (openSuse 10.3 2.6.22.13-0.3-default) Submission from: (NULL) (131.152.125.199) With my particular X11 settings, the width to height ratio of the x11 device is distorted, with the width being half that of the height. This results in wrongly proportioned plots, wrongly positioned text etc. Other devices are not affected. I already asked

Dear R users I'm looking for algorithms that assist in spreading out crowded labels, e.g. labels of points in a scatter plot, in order to obtain a nicer visual appearance and better legibility. I'm probably just stuck because I didn't find the right key words for a successful search on the R websites or in the mailing list archives. Any hints are appreciated. Thomas Zumbrunn

Hi everyone I have the following problem: My dataframe has 3 variables: ID, Year and and an outcome variable. The dataframe contains repeated measurements because the subjects filled out a questionnaire every year. The time span covers 2 years. Now I want to check if there is a significant change in the outcome over the 2 years with a paired wilcox.test. The problem: Not every subject

Dear all I imported a Stata .dta file with the read.dta-function from the foreign-package. The dataframe's dimensions are > dim(d.apc) [1] 15806 1300 Importing needs up to 15 min and calculations with these data are rather slow (although I subset the data before starting analyses). My questions are: 1. Has someone experiences importing Stata files (alternatives to read.dta) ? 2.

While preparing a function that contained non-ASCII characters for inclusion into a package, I replaced all non-ASCII characters with UTF-8 escape sequences (using \uxxxx) in order to make the package portable (and adhere to "R CMD check"). What I didn't expect: when one uses UTF-8 escape sequences in function arguments, one needs to use UTF-8 escape sequences when calling the

I'm trying to use a lattice function within a function and have problems passing the "groups" argument properly. Let's say I have a data frame d <- data.frame(x = rnorm(100), y = c("a", "b")) and want to plot variable x in a densityplot, grouped by the variable y, then I would do something like densityplot(~ x, d, groups = y) If however I wanted to

Dear R-users, I'm wondering how to obtain Wilks-lambda values when discriminant analyses have only one discriminant function (i.e. 2 categories to discriminate between). The use of manova(predictions~groups, test="Wilks") asks for multiple response and the use of anova(lm(predictions~groups), test="Wilks") simply does not consider the last term. (The alternative

Hi everyone I am stuck on specifying my own maximum likelihood function for a special poisson model. My poisson model is as follow: O ~ Pois(b*N + b*RR*E) With O = observed cases b = constant (known) N = number of unexposed persons (known) E = number exposed persons (known) RR = relative risk (value is assumed under a scenario, e.g. RR=2.0) I used rpois to simulate the values of O for several

Dear list, My apologies if a solution / explanation to this already exists on the list, but it is difficult to assign it to a certain keyword. test<-c(1:3) testfct <- function(x) {test[1]<-100} test [1] 1 2 3 testfct(1) [1] 1 2 3 Basically, I would like to write data into an external table that the function does not know. Why is this not working / what alternatives exist? Thanks,

hi, this may be trivial, but we can't seem to find anything adequate, (although there is a work around with match() ). We are looking for something along the lines of plot(table1[table1$var2==or("a","b","c","d"),"var1"]) would be handy, with the potential or() function leading to what plot(table1[table1$var2=="a" |

Dear R-list I am (forced) to change from Linux to Mac and am now looking for a new editor for R. I would like one that features a split window (console + editor) as well as syntax highlighting. Can anyone help? Especially the split-window feature does not seem to be easily available in the editors desribed on the R-help site, except Emacs, which I am reluctant to start using. I am on a MacBook Air

Hello A very short question: Using multiple plots with par(mfrow=c(3,3)), how can I get R to indicate one common y- and x-axis label? I tried to use text() in par, but this is then overwritten when I plot the graphs. -- Sebastian Leuzinger Institute of Botany, University of Basel Schönbeinstr. 6 CH-4056 Basel Ph. 0041 (0) 61 267 3511 fax 0041 (0) 61 2673504 email: Sebastian.Leuzinger@unibas.ch

Hello, anyone got an idea on how to use stl() so that the remainder eventually becomes white noise? i used stl repeatedly but there is autocorrelation in the remainder that i can't get rid of. os: linux suse9.3 ------------------------------------------------ Sebastian Leuzinger Institute of Botany, University of Basel Sch??nbeinstr. 6 CH-4056 Basel ph 0041 (0) 61 2673511 fax 0041 (0)

Dear R-list member, I'm using the function pmnorm() (-->library(mnormt)) within a for-loop. Certain parameter values leads to an error message: "(In sqrt(diag(S)) : NaNs produced, In sqrt(1/diag(V)) : NaNs produced, In cov2cor(S) : diag(.) had 0 or NA entries; non-finite result is doubtful)" obviously because "NaNs" were produced. Is it possible to tell R that it

Hi all Maybe a stupid question, but I'm not able to figure this out from the manpage nor from the HOWTOs... How can I force a user to change his password at next logon? I tried: # pdbedit -P "user must logon to change password" -C 0 -u username # pdbedit -u username -P "user must logon to change password" -C 0 # pdbedit -P "user must logon to change password"

hello, has anyone come across the following rather mysterious problem: when pasting large bits of code (100 and more lines) into the R console with the central mouse button (under linux), only part of the code is pasted, and the text interrupts somewhere arbitrarily. It does not happen when smaller bits are pasted subsequently. I use linux suse 9.3 with the latest version of R

Dear R users I have problems horizontally aligning labels in keys of lattice plots when the labels make use of plotmath. Here's a self-contained example: dat <- data.frame(x = rnorm(10), y = rnorm(10), z = factor(rep(c("a", "b"), each = 5))) xyplot(y ~ x, dat, groups = z, auto.key = list(columns = 2, text =

Hi R help list I'm simulating logistic regression data with a specified odds ratio (beta) and have a problem/unexpected behaviour that occurs. The datasets includes a lognormal exposure and diseased and healthy subjects. Here is my loop: ors <- vector() for(i in 1:200){ # First, I create a vector with a lognormally distributed exposure: n <- 10000 # number of study subjects

dear list while installing the package rimage, i get the error message checking jpeglib.h usability... no checking jpeglib.h presence... no checking for jpeglib.h... no configure: error: Sorry, can't find jpeglib header ERROR: configuration failed for package 'rimage' although i have installed jpeglib as required. does R not find this library? but why did it find the fftw library
