Dear useRs, by a circular diagram representation I mean what you will get by entering this at your R promt: pie(1:5) Nice to have R as a lingua franca :-) The folowing quote is from page 360 in this very interesting paper: @article{SpenceI2005, title = {No Humble Pie: The Origins and Usage of a Statistical Chart}, author = {Spence, I.}, journal = {Journal of Educational and

Dear all, I'm trying to produce two dotcharts side-by-side within a Sweave document. When I'm compiling this example: \documentclass{article} \begin{document} <<fig=T,width=8,height=4>>= par(mfrow = c(1, 2), cex = 0.7) for(i in 1:2) dotchart(1:10) @ <<fig=T,width=8,height=4>>= par(mfrow = c(1, 2), cex = 0.7) for(i in 1:2) hist(1:10) @

Dear R-help, After making a typo (reminiscent of FORTRAN 77, I guess) I found the following: > identical(all.equal(2^(-10:10), 2**(-10:10)), TRUE) [1] TRUE I have tried to find the documentation about the ** operator but I was unsuccesful this way: > sessionInfo() Version 2.3.1 (2006-06-01) powerpc-apple-darwin8.6.0 attached base packages: [1] "methods" "stats"

Dear list, I would like to make a Sweave document that, for a given package, automatically inserts the graphical outputs obtained when runing the example code of high level plot functions. That is, for the "graphics" base package, something like this: http://pbil.univ-lyon1.fr/R/fichestd/tdr79.pdf For this, I need the list of high level plot functions of a given package. I have

Dear all, I'm confused by the time serie parameters in data(lh) : sueoka:~ lobry$ R --vanilla --quiet > tsp(lh) [1] 1 48 1 because documentation says: QUOTE A regular time series giving the luteinizing hormone in blood samples at 10 mins intervals from a human female, 48 samples. UNQUOTE So that I would expect the time serie to end at 480 minutes or 8 hours. Shouldn't we have

Dear list, I'm trying to understand the graphical parameters by a systematic exploration of the par() function (if you are interested by the result it's here http://pbil.univ-lyon1.fr/R/fichestd/tdr75.pdf, the comments are all in french but it's pure R code under Sweave). I have a problem with par(tmag) illustrated by the following code:

Dear R-help, I would like to include the documentation of an R function in an *.rnw document processed by Sweave. Because I'm sharing my *.rnw files with colleagues under Linux and Windows (I'm on Mac OS X), I would like a pure R solution. The naive approach doesn't work, because Sweaving this *.rnw file: -------- tmp.rnw -------- \documentclass{article} \begin{document}

Dear all, the dataset documented under ?crimtab was also used in: @article{TreloarAE1934, title = {The adequacy of "{S}tudent's" criterion of deviations in small sample means}, author = {Treloar, A.E. and Wilder, M.A.}, journal = {The Annals of Mathematical Statistics}, volume = {5}, pages = {324-341}, year = {1934} } The following is

Dear R-devel, googling for the single letter R yields R-home page as the firt hit, which is extremly nice. By clicking on the figure you get the code of the "Winner of the R Homepage graphics competition 2004." By copy/pasting in your R console it doesn't work because it is impossible to install the mva package. This is my point. As documented in ONEWS the reason is simple:

Marc, >I have a large .Rnw file and was in the process of doing some debugging. >I had set some R chunks to 'eval=false' in the process. This resulted in >some R objects not being created that were in turn used in the >subsequent \Sexpr's. I have often the same problem, I'm using a construct like : <<eval=F>>= x <- rnorm(100) @ I have

Dear All, I'am looking for examples showing that correlation does not imply causality, the targeted audience consists of undergraduate students (their first year at the university but in the BioMathStat track). All practicals are under R. I was able to extract this from R datasets: ### begin data(sunspots) data(lynx) spots <- window(sunspots, freq = 1, start = 1880, end = 1900) lnx <-

Dear Rdev, in R 2.9.0 the doc of function stars() does not state that it returns invisibly the location of atomic graphs. This is a valuable information as it may help to set a value for the key.loc parameter of this function. My whish is just that the "value" section in stars.Rd should be documented. Best, Pr. Jean R. Lobry BTW, the URL:,

Dear list, since I have upgraded openOffice to version 3.2 I have some trouble to open very simple ODT files generated by odfweave: the file is apparently corrupted (but recovery is fine). I have observed this under windows and mac OS 10.4.11 with R 2.10.0, odfWeave_0.7.11, XML_2.6-0, lattice_0.17-26. However, I found nothing similar by RSiteSearching so that I'm suspecting a localization

Dear R-help, I'm using prop.test() to compute a confidence interval for a proportion under R version 2.4.1, as in: prop.test(x = 340, n = 400)$conf [1] 0.8103309 0.8827749 I have two questions: 1) from the source code my understanding is that the confidence interval is computed according to Wilson, E.B. (1927) Probable inference, the law of succession, and statistical inference. J. Am.

I have Single Sign On at my home network - my linux home directories are mounted from my Win2k fileserver. I try to run winecfg and get the below error, obviously because CIFS and NTFS doesn't support symlinks. How do I get wine to run from somewhere else?

Dear all, consider: ### x <- round(rnorm(50)) stripchart(x, pch = 21, col = "black", bg = "pink", method = "jitter") points(0.5, 1, pch = 21, col = "black", bg = "pink", cex = 2) ### Under R 2.9.0 the points produced by stripchart are not colored, while points() gives the desidered output (magnified here by cex). I found a simple workaround
