What software exists for digitizing video to quantify the motion of specific features in the image? I might be willing to use something that's NOT in R, though I'd prefer something in R (or at least with an R intereface). Thanks, Spencer Graves

I was at a lecture the other day and I saw a presentation of very neat (short) animation modeling epidemic disease spread over a map region. When I ask what software they used they mentioned SAS. Do you know if there are equivalent resources in R to model the spread of disease with animation output? My search in R-help and google didn't lead to any document (though I found a couple of

I am in awe of the project you developed but wish to do something simpler. I have recently decided to give up on Microsoft Office and wish to use OpenOffice exclusively. In the past I have used the RODBC package to read data from excel files. Do you know how to read data directly from OpenOffice calc files into R? Farrel Buchinsky

Hi, Maybe this is more a programming questions than a specific R-project question, but maybe there is someone who can point me in the right direction. I have a picture of cirkels which I took with a digital camera. Now I want to use the diameter of the cirkels on the picture for analysis in R. I can use pixmap to import the picture, but how do I find the outside cirkels and calculate the

Hi - I would like to have the same functionality like what R(D)COM server offers but from Java world. I have java code (on windows) and need to call some R code to run some computational job and get the result back into java code. I'm wondering if there's any direct package that offers this functionality? Thank you. - adschai

Hello, I need to put 2 or more different time series to one plot for comparison each other. The problem is that the time series are irregular, moreover the time lenghts and periods are not the same. Is there a way to manage it in R? Many thanks for any hint and advice in advance Tomas

I know that my question is like a very newbie question, but at the moment I stacked with it and I need a quick solution. I need to make an overall statistical overview of various datasets, the summary() and numSummary() functions are fully sufficient. My question is, how can I export results to a spreadsheet-like file, as a .csv. For the summary() with an "x" dataset I can use this way:

Dear R users, i would like to apply a PCA on image data for data reduction. The image data is available as three matrices for the RGB values. At the moment i use x <- data.frame(R,G,B)#convert image data to data frame pca<-princomp(x,retx = TRUE) This is working so far. >From this results then i want to create a new matrix from the first (second..) principal component. Here i stuck.

I''ve tried migrating acts_as_attachment to attachment_fu (just to see if I could replace RMagick with ImageScience+FreeImage), but the quality of the thumbnails is just horrendous, blurred beyond recognition (downscaling a 1280x1024 to a few considerably smaller thumbnails). Changing attachment_fu to use RMagick again and the thumbnails were crispy sharp again. I was wondering

Dear R developers, i would like to start R with a *.RData argument under Linux. Something like R -f /home/user/workspace.RData Is this possible?

DeaR list, I happily use eigen() to compute the eigenvalues and eigenvectors of a fairly large matrix (200x200, say), but it seems over-killed as its rank is limited to typically 2 or 3. I sort of remember being taught that numerical techniques can find iteratively decreasing eigenvalues and corresponding orthogonal eigenvectors, which would provide a nice alternative (once I have the

Good day, I'm trying to get more time series in one plot. As there are bigger differences in values of variables I need logaritmic y axis. The code I use is the following: nvz_3_data <- read.csv('/home/tomas/R_outputs/nvz_3.csv') date <- (nvz_3_data$date) NO3 <- (nvz_3_data$NO3) NH4 <- (nvz_3_data$NH4) date_p <- as.POSIXct(date, "CET") par(mfrow=c(2,1), ylog

When I am loading the RGrace package I am getting the following errormessage: Loading required package: RGtk2 Loading required package: grid Loading required package: cairoDevice Error in figure() : could not find function "gladeXMLNew" Error : .onLoad failed in 'loadNamespace' for 'RGrace' Error: package/namespace load failed for 'RGrace' I am running R 2.7.1

Some time ago I mentioned the online version of the book "Numerical Recipes in C" http://www.ulib.org/webRoot/Books/Numerical_Recipes/ and inadvertantly stirred up a hornets' nest. I obtained from this book code to calculate the Incomplete beta function. It appears in: 6.4 Incomplete Beta Function, Student?s Distribution, F-Distribution, Cumulative Binomial Distribution, p.226, and

hello, I wish to create some 3d scatter diagrams visualising different grouped data set by a given field in the database. I tried the scatterplot3d package, as well as the plot3d and scatter3d functions (both within the rgl resp. Rcmdr package). My first question is, whether is it possibe to group data in the scatterplot3d and plot3d, because I did not succeed to use the groups = ...

Good day, I read some data from a PostgreSQL database by a following script: library(Rdbi) library(RdbiPgSQL) # conn becomes an object which contains the DB connection: conn <- dbConnect(PgSQL(), host="localhost", dbname="BVS", user="postgres", password = "*******") query_duj_kal <- dbSendQuery(conn, "select zdroj as well, cas as date, fe2,

Hi: I am doing some work that involves plotting points of interest superimposed on photographs and maps. I can produce the plots fine in R, but so far I have had to do the superimposition externally, which makes it tedious to do exploratory work. I have looked to see if there is some capability to put a background picture on a plot window, but I have not found anything. Advice, anyone? Cheers

Hello, I am trying to install RPostgreSQL, but without success at the moment, getting an errormessage - see below. My OS is Fedora 17, R version 2.15.2, PostgreSQL 9.2.1 with Postgis 2.0.1 spatial extension. Thank You for any help, advice or hint in advance.

Hello Everyone,   Learning about R and its wonderful array of functions. If it's not obvious, I usually try to find out what a function stands for. I think this helps me remember better.   One function that has me stumped is "sink." Can anyone tell me if this stands for something?   Thanks,   Paul         __________________________________________________ [[alternative HTML
