Hi, subject more or less says it all. I freely admit to not having bothered to find some of the online papers about method of testing the quality of random number generators -- but in an idle moment I wondered what to expect from something like the following: randa<-runif(1000) randb<-runif(1000) t.test(randa,randb)$p.value var.test(randa,randb)$p.value [repeat ad nauseum] Is the

Hi, I'm relatively new to R, so I don't know the full list of base (or popular add-on packages) functions and tools available. For example, I tripped across mention of rle() in a message about some other problem. rle() turned out to be a handy shortcut to splitting some of my data by magnitude (vaguely like a sequence-based histogram). So I thought I'd ask: what small, or

Hi, A recent thread provided a (working) construct for lm: lm(as.matrix(freeny[ix]) ~., freeny[-ix]) Can someone explain what is meant by the formula in that expression, that is, what does "mymatrix~." do? I couldn't find any such example in the lm() or formula() help pages. thanks Carl

I seem to have run across a bug in which substitute() inside a function definition gets 'confused.' The code is listed below. The same behavior occurs under OSX 10.3.9, PPC, w/ R2.2 and Rgui 1.14 and under OSX 10.4.11 Intel w/ 2.70 and the latest Rgui. What I see is that 'xlab' properly has the name of the data I entered for the x-input. But 'ylab' contains the string

Let's say I have, for some reason, a bunch of scalars (i.e. single-valued variables) and I want to merge them all into a single vector of values. Can someone recommend a better function, or simpler way, to do so than the following? Suppose my scalars' names are foo1, foo2, foo3, foo1high, foo2high, foo3lo2, etc. Then I can do: >ls(pat='foo')->thels

Admit it, Rolf. Haven't you wondered if S, in a more private way, is sexier than R? OK, kidding aside, we have talked this to death. Just FYI, the conversation was stimulating for some of us and I have continued on my own and located functions I see as useful in the stringi and stringr packages to make my silly version ever less silly!

Hello, I'm trying to install a package that requires a Fortran compiler (Hmisc) using R CMD INSTALL. I downloaded the package source onto my Desktop, unzipped it, and then typed: R CMD INSTALL /Users/brianbeckage/Desktop/Hmisc * Installing *source* package 'Hmisc' ... ** libs g77 -fno-common -g -O2 -c cidxcn.f -o cidxcn.o g77 -fno-common -g -O2 -c cidxcp.f -o cidxcp.o g77

Hi, So far as I can tell, the 'col.ticks' parameter for axis() only uses the first value provided. E.g.: plot(0:1,0:1, col.ticks=c('blue','red','green')) #all ticks are blue Just wondering if there's a different option in the basic plot commands that can handle multiple colors, and also whether ggplot and/or lattice allow for multiple tick colors.

Hi, While playing with quantile-quantile plots, I wrote up some code which plots something strangely different. Here's the pseudocode: testhist <- hist(sample_data) refhist <- hist(rnorm(n, mean=0,sd=1)) # for some large-ish n cumtest <- cumsum(testhist) cumref <- cumsum(refhist) plot(cumref,cumtest) This produces a straight line of slope 1 for a sample with the same

Hi, Sorry to bother with something that should be simple, but I can't find it. Suppose I have a list, each element of which is a 2xN dataframe, where N could be different for each element. Is there some simple structure to let me examine all the elements of each element's first column? For example: >foo $first [,1] [,2] [1,] 1 4 [2,] 2 5 [3,] 3 6 $second

This is not the same as the recent thread on a waterfall graph. I'm thinking about the rolling FFT display used in acoustics and other spectrum analysis tasks. Here's an example of a very fancy 3-D waterfall display: http://www.ultimaserial.com/UltimaWaterfall.html I was just wondering if there are any simple hidden-line tools in R that I could use to draw simple waterfall displays.

Just wondering how come read.table lets you specify fill=TRUE for ragged arrays, but so far as I can tell, no equivalent for write.table? Not a big deal, since I'm perfectly comfortable w/ write and scan and the other file I/O goodies. "A foolish inconsistency..." and all that. Carl

Just wondering if there's an R package which does tricks similar to what TK!Solver does. TK!Solver, for those not lucky enough to have found it, basically allows one to define a bunch of equations, assign values to an arbitrary subset of the variables, from which it calculates (either directly when possible or back-solving when not) the values of the other variable(s). thanks Carl

Hi all, Just thought I'd post this (maybe) helpful tool I wrote. For people like me who are bad at keeping a clean environment, it's a time-saver. #simple command to get only one type of object in current environment lstype<-function(type='closure'){ inlist<-ls(.GlobalEnv) if (type=='function') type <-'closure'

Here's the problem: on Windows, the 'jgr.exe' tool starts up by checking for a connecting to the 'net in order to grab the support packages. Well, we have machines at work that are not and never will be connected to the Internet. I tried manually installing all the packages (JGR, Rjava, etc) but the jgr.exe still tries to find a connection. Is there any way around this?

I was cursing Matlab again today (what else is new) because the default action for every Matlab command is to spew the result to the console, and one must remember to put that darn ";" at the end of every line. So I just wondered: was there ever a discussion as to providing some modified version of the "<-" and "->" operators in R to do the reverse?
