hi, I am using rpart with a continuous response variable. Is there a way to extract 95% confidence intervals for the predicted mean at each node? cheers. -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/rpart-confidence-intervals--tp18601587p18601587.html Sent from the R help mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

Hello, A newbie to R. I am trying to use the exonmap package in R. According to the docs, the xmapDatabase() command should read the config file with all the connection parameters and connect to the DB. But i get the error shown below.... > xmapDatabase("Human") Error in mysqlNewConnection(dbDriver(drv), ...) : RS-DBI driver: (could not connect cagadmin at mysql2.cag.chop.edu on

Dear all, sorry for this very basic question, but I did not find any good example yet. I would like to set up a variable that can be recall later to substitute a part of a file name. As example: var_filename = as.name("aaa") jpeg("var_filename.jpg") plot() dev.off() It would be very useful in order to avoid to change manually many strings. I guess it is possible, but I did

I can't figure this one out- I am the administrator, The file that I want to install is a .tar.gz which is located on my desktop.

Hi Is it possible to subset an n-dimensional array by a vector of n dimensions? E.g. assume I have > x <- array(1:24, dim=2:4) > x[1,1,2] [1] 7 > dims <- c(1,1,2) I would like a function that I can supply x and dims as parameters to, and have it return 7. Also, I would like to do something like: > x[1,1,] [1] 1 7 13 19 > dims2<- c(1,1,NA) And have a function of x and

Hi everybody, I am currently working with R and I would like to create jpeg graphs with it.

Hello again, There is any package which does Z aware (real 3D) interpolations? It can be any method (IDW, kriging or spline) but it should take into consideration not only x and y coordinates for interpolation, but also z coordinate. I looked into different packages but it seems i didn't find the right one. The ultimate goal is to import the output into a GIS (Geographical Information

hi all, is there a cd-rom image with a full R pre-installation which I can give to my students so that if they want to run R on their computer, they will be able to run it from the cd-rom without having to install it on their computer. That way, they can have a 'protable' R package installation in their bags, and they can use it on any machine. Is this possible? Dr. Iasonas Lamprianou

Hi, I am a beginner user of R. I have a trivial question ? I am almost ashamed I cannot figure it out does not matter how many times I am reading the help. I have a table in .txt format, tab delimited. I can read it with ?read.delim()? with no problems. Afterwards I would like to use boxplot function to see if there are any outliers in the column 5 of my data called TPAH16.ppm In the

Dear colleagues, I teach statistics using SPSS. I want to use R instead. I hit on one problem and I need some quick advice. When I want to work with ordinal variables, in SPSS I can compute the median or create a barchart or compute a spearman correlation with no problems. In R, if I "read" the ordinal variable as numeric, then I cannot do a barplot because I miss the category names. If

Hi, I guess there have been discussions about this in the past and from what I understood hooking an R-function to facilitate automatic adjustment is problematic.

Doea anyone know how to compute components of variance analysis? For example, I have the score of pupils on a test. Each pupil belongs to a school and within each school I may have several classes? How can I estimate the variance of the pupils, schools, classes and the errror variance? Any examples? Any help will be appreciated. Jason Dr. Iasonas Lamprianou Department of Education The

Dear colleagues, i am carrying out an ordinal regression model. I try it on SPSS but I "flirt" with R as well. I have a few questions. 1. What is the most reliable/tested/trusted package for ordinal regression in the R world? 2. Also, I have a statistical question. What is the danger of having to many 'empty cells' in ordinal regression? How many empty cells are too many? Do

Dear all, I am looking for ways to compute standardized logistic regression coefficients. I found papers describing at least 6 different ways to standardize logistic regression coefficients. I also found a very old (Thu May 12 21:50:36 CEST 2005) suggestion by Frank E Harrell (one of the colleagues who frequently contribute on this list) saying... Design doesn't implement those because they

Dear all I have a factor variable which holds values like "Engineer", "Doctor", "Teacher" etc. I would like to collapse those categories so that Teachers and Sociologists form one category named "Teach & Soc" etc. However, I do not know how I can do it.

Dear all, i have spent a lot of time trying to solve this problem, but I am sure that there must be a simple solution. So, as a last resort, I am coming back to you again. I have a dataset with some (almost random) values in many variables. Lets say that the dataset represents the scores of students to test questions. What I need to do is to sum the scores for each student. However, wherever
