similar to: adding a new dataset to the default R distribution

Making data, especially data that have been the subject of published papers, widely available, can be a useful spinoff from the R project, another gift to the scientific community beyond the provision of computing and analytic tools. Nowadays, in a complete publication of a scientific result, there is every reason for the data to be part of that publication. The Gentleman and Lang 2004

Aloha all, I know too little about what I'm about to write and hope I'm not wasting your time. For a class I'm teaching in archaeological data analysis, I'm trying to put together a routine that calculates the so-called Petersen index and, especially, confidence intervals for the index. This was introduced to archaeologists by N.R.J. Fieller and A. Turner in an article

Given two numeric vectors of possibly unequal length, I'd like to pair each element of the shorter vector with an element of the longer vector such that the sum of squared differences between the pairs is minimized. Can someone point me to an R function or an algorithm for accomplishing this? All the best, Tom Thomas S. Dye, Ph.D. T. S. Dye & Colleagues, Archaeologists, Inc.

I had need of a bit of computer archeology (oddly enough, for a couple of archaeologists, but that's another story). I used Henry Bartlett' HABit Wordstar Converter (version 3) (http://www.hotkey.net.au/~hambar/habit/wsconvrm.htm) to convert some Wordstar for Mess-DOS files to text and HTML. It worked just fine under wine (http://www.winehq.org). wine-20041201-1fc3winehq on Fedora Core 3

Aloha all, I love using ggplot. It took a while to get used to the grammar of graphics, but it is starting to get easy now that I am thinking in a more structured way. A question. I'm making a wind rose that I'd like to be oriented with due north straight up. I've discovered that the orientation is sensitive to how north is represented. When north is represented as 0,

Aloha all, I have a data frame with 4 columns. The first three are factors (f1, f2, f3) and the fourth is numeric. I'd like to explore these data using median polish. To do that I plan to use medpolish() on the matrix[f1,f2xf3], then medpolish on the resulting matrix[f2,f3]. This approach is described by Cook on page 141 of Exploring Data Tables, Trends, and Shapes. split()

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 list I am relatively new to networking problems of this kind so apologies for the potentially simple question. I am trying to upgrade an existing network to one using Samba 3 to configure roaming XP profiles on a limited number of clients. I have re-written the smb.conf file to reflect what I think are the appropriate settings, and this passed testparm successfully, but I am unclear

Hi, I have tested ControlPlayback and grabbed files via an apache server with no issue. I want to be able to grab files via aws S3 which would require me to add some headers to authenticate. Is there any way to have Asterisk add headers or would I need a http proxy in the middle? TIA. Dovid -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL:

In prepping our next release, we noticed that the LICENSE.TXT files were still all copyrighted 2015. I've done a bit of archaeology and it looks like the files to update are: cfe/trunk/LICENSE.TXT clang-tools-extra/trunk/LICENSE.TXT compiler-rt/trunk/LICENSE.TXT libclc/trunk/LICENSE.TXT libcxx/trunk/LICENSE.TXT libcxxabi/trunk/LICENSE.TXT lld/trunk/LICENSE.TXT llvm/trunk/LICENSE.TXT

Browsing the web recently, I came across what I think is a new utility for generating an interactive, web-based R graph of data from a database. The generated graph can be manipulated by a user to choose different data, limits, etc. I would like to investigate using this with data from our research project but unfortunately, I didn't bookmark it and it's no longer in my browser history,

Hi all. I am cleaning up (I hope) one of the nastier pieces of code in openssh: do_setusercontext which is/was a twisty maze of platform-specific nested ifdefs. I made a series of changes[1] where I moved each platform-specific piece into a portable-only file platform.c, which does not need to be kept in sync with OpenBSD. The changes did not (I hope!) change the semantics, but there's one

Dear R-help We are getting an error message `jpeg62.dll missing'. We are running Windows 7 64-bit, from a Mac using Boot Camp. Do you know of this error message, and can you give us help trying to resolve the problem? many thanks Rocky Rocky Hyacinth Technician Department of Archaeology University of Sheffield United Kingdom [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

What I want to do is create a horizontal bar chart matrix for a set of data that have a common set of variables (e.g., % of As, % of Bs, etc.) listed on the Y-axis and groups (e.g., Classes) on the X-axis. The key here is that the bars for each individual class plot are "centered" rather than left or right-justified. In archaeology plots similar to this are called battleship curves or

Lately R has been behaving strange on my Linux (Ubuntu 7.10) machine, with occasional segfaults. Today something else and reproducible happened: If I type the code below (meant for calibrating data), I get the error message that "the C stack usage is too close to the limit". calcurve <- cbind(1:2e4, 1:2e4, 1:2e3); #dummy curve, real one is more complex caldist <-

Hi all, I just noticed that in ActiveRecord::ConnectionAdapters::Column.type_cast[1] (and type_cast_code[2]) the type casting for float columns simply does value.to_f, whereas all the others have a rescue or call out to a method, the default implementations of which have rescues or enough logic in that I don''t think they''d fail. Imagine the following: create_table :vehicle do

Dear all, I'm trying to boot a recent PXELINUX on a brand new Soekris net4501 (comBIOS 1.33). This combination appears to not work out of the box... I see much advice floating around from a few years ago, hinting that earlier versions of PXELINUX might have worked. However before resorting to archaeology I'd be interested in feedback from others who might have got through this. I
