similar to: possible bug in function 'var' in R 2.7.2?

I am a new R user and so I thought I could start with "Using R for Introductory statistics" by Verzani. In order to use some of the functions and datasets I have to install the simpleR package which is is now inside the UsingR package. I did so using >install.packages("UsingR"). However, the functions such as "simple.freqpoly.R" do not work. I also tried to

Hi I am facing a problem where I would like to import a TIFF image (of spots on a nylon filter) into R (into a matrix for example). When plotting the matrix using fx. scatterplot3d I would then be able to see how the pixel-intensities are distributed in "spot-areas" on the filter - which would be very helpful. Does anynone know of a way to do this? Best regards, Peter Hagedorn ...

Hi, I have run into this problem a couple of times now and hope you can help! If I want to plot mulitiple series with differing x-axis values (however, all in the same range) in 1 plot with one common axis R obstruses the plots. E.g. if I plot water content against time and I start with the sampler at 5 cm depth, it plots that one right. But the next depth, 15 cm, is measured at slightly

I have installed the chron library, but it does not seem to work: > chron("04/06/98") Error in .C(NAME = "to_lower", strings = as.character(str), nstrings = as.integer(n)) : C/Fortran function not in load table > chron(17894) Error in .C(NAME = "to_lower", strings = as.character(str), nstrings = as.integer(n)) : C/Fortran function not in load table > I am

Hi, I am writing an Sweave document and am using 'xtable' to make frequency tables of diagnoses of people undergoing cholecystectomy. Some of these diagnoses contain Danish characters ("?", "?", and "?"), and these characters are all garbled in the Latex document after I run Sweave. The odd thing is, everything looks absolutely right in the R console, and if

Dear R-listers, I am using R for Windows Vista 64-bit. I have no experience working with maps, but now I have to plot a map of Denmark in which each Danish county is color-coded according to its incidence rate of a particular disease. My problem is that I don't know where to start. I have read the help files to packages like 'mapplot', and their examples indicate that I am on the

Hi, I have encountered a problem with R2.7.2 printing. I used the following code to generate a graph: a <- 1:50 b <- a plot(a~b) In the pop-up windows with the graph, I try to print the graph by using "File" -> "Print". The graph was printed, but it was incomplete. Some area was missing in the lower part and the right part. Can somebody help me to resolve this to

Any insight into the behavior of "by" in the following case would be appreciated. There is a note in the help details for "by" about documenting behavior since v2.7 but I don't entirely understand what it is saying. I'm using R2.7.2 Windows. I'm interested if the following behavior was a change or whether it has always worked this way. I looked at

Greetings R-wizards: For historical reasons I have filenames with the character "?" and have successfully used "\u00e2" in its place, with the hoped-for result on all my on-screen plots. However since R2.7.0 I have trouble with savePlot() when the file name includes that character as it does in this example: savePlot(paste("diagnostic ? vs a ", file.label,

The example in the help file for pdf() plots the characters outside the plotting area in this for loop: for(i in c(32:255)) { x <- i y <- i points(x, y, pch=i) } The following loop seems to be working as intended for(i in c(32:255)) { x <- (i-31)%%16 y <- (i-31)%/%16 points(x, y, pch=i) } As an extra

Hi, the following R lines work fine in R 2.4.0 alpha (and older R versions), but not in R 2.4.0 beta (details below): library(drc) # to load the dataset 'PestSci' library(nlme) ## Starting values sv <- c(0.328919, 1.956121, 0.097547, 1.642436, 0.208924) ## No error m1 <- nlme(SLOPE ~ c + (d-c)/(1+exp(b*(log(DOSE)-log(e)))), fixed =

Dear list members, is it intentional that: curve(cos, xlim = c(-5, 5)) plot(cos, xlim = c(-5, 5)) produce different plots? Shouldn't the 'xlim' argument in both cases set the 'from' and 'to' argument if they aren't supplied (at least that's what I understood reading the help page for 'curve' and 'plot.function')?

Dear friends - I am trying to understand fda and working with the 2009 book from Springer. I run the scripts directly from a new installed fda library and include sessionInfo() below. This is from the script fdarm-ch09.R - I seem to have got not fda_2.2.8 but 2.2.7 - is that the problem? Where do I get .8 as I just reinstalled?

Dear R-listers, I am trying to assign colnames to a data frame within a loop, but I keep getting a "target of assignment expands to non-language object"-error. I need to split up a large dataset into about 20 smaller ones, and I would like to assign colnames within the loop, so I won't have to type the same thing 20 times over. I have concocted this really goofy example which

Dear list, Please consider the following call of sort > sort(c("a","f")) [1] "a" "f" > sort(c("f","a")) [1] "a" "f" > > sort(c("aa","ff")) [1] "ff" "aa" > sort(c("ff","aa")) [1] "ff" "aa" The last two results look strange

Dear R-listers, I am building a prediction model starting with many, many variables. I use the 'stepAIC' procedure in the MASS package, and the model building process takes several hours to complete. At the very end, I am occasionally confronted with warnings like this one: Warning messages: 1: In fitter(X, Y, strata = Strata, offset = offset, weights = weights, : Loglik converged

I have created an R-package with datasets which I want my students to install (the package is not on CRAN). 1) I've put the package on the web in a directory called 'data' and I thought I could do: > install.packages("http://gbi.agrsci.dk/statistics/courses/2011-ISMLS-course/data/LiSciData_0.0-03.tar.gz",repos=NULL,type="source") Warning: invalid package
