Hi, I am trying to display / print certain columns in my data frame that share certain condition (for example, part of the column name). I am using for loop, as follow: # below is the sample data structure all.data <- data.frame( NUM_A = 1:5, NAME_A = c("Andy", "Andrew", "Angus", "Alex", "Argo"), NUM_B = 1:5, NAME_B =

Thanks. I wonder if there is a general way of extracting var(u) and var(e), which would be needed to simulate u and e. Clearly, one can get the estimated parameters, but is there a clever way of 'setting up' the matrices??

>From time to time people request symbolic computations beyond what D() and deriv() etc can provide. A brief look at the internet shows that there are many more or less developed computer algebra packages freely available. Therefore, I wondered if it would be an idea to try to 'integrate' one of these packages in R, which I guess can be done in more or less elegant ways... I do not know

Dear all; I would like to draw a graph with vertices and edges, and I guess tcl/tk would be appropriate. I don't know tcl/tk but have googled for a 10-page (or so) introduction to 'getting started with tcl/tk in R' but without any luck. - Does anyone know of the existence of such a document or any other web-based material on the subject? - Does anyone have an (informative) piece of

I would like to use a map or aerial photo as a background to plotting solid lines and text, and semi-transparent color contours, in base and lattice graphics. Plot coordinates need to be consistent with the georeferenced background. For example, a color contour plot would have an gray-toned aerial photograph as a background for overprinted semi-transparent color contours of some spatially

I would like to draw a sample from a linear mixed model y=Xb+Zu+e which has been fitted with lme(), i.e. a model y ~ N(Xb, C), where C=Z cov(u) Z' + cov(e). I've tried to figure out how to extract C from an lme object, because that would solve my problem when also using the predict() function, but without any luck. Can anyone help on that?

Hi, I would like to create a plot of y1,y2,y3,y4 against x for several subjects such that y1 and y2 are plotted against x in one panel and y3 and y4 against x in another panel. Thus if there are 3 subjects I should end up with 6 panels. Is there a simple way of doing so (i.e. without calling xyplot() several times, and then padding the results together)?? Regards S?ren

Dear list I have a function and a vector, say f <- function(a,b){a+b} x <- c(2,3) I want to "evaluate f on x" in the sense of computing f(x[1],x[2]). I would like it to be so that I can write f(x). (I know I can write a wrapper function g <- function(x){f(x[1],x[2])}, but this is not really what I am looking for). Is there a general way doing this (programmatically)?

Hi! Consider d <- data.frame(x=1:10,y=5+1:10, yf=rnorm(10,5+1:10)) x y yf 1 1 6 5.268621 2 2 7 8.623896 3 3 8 8.114830 4 4 9 10.125955 5 5 10 9.977261 ... I plot y and yf against x with xyplot(y+yf~x,data=d,col=c('red','green'),pch=c("a","b")) BUT - I would like that the plot of y against x is with type='l' and the

Dear List In a package I want to import the mApply function from the Hmisc package, and I would like to import only that function. 1) If I write "Depends: Hmisc" in the DESCRIPTION file I get the whole Hmisc package, so that is not the way to go ahead. 2) According to "Writing R extensions", sec 1.6.1 "Specifying imports and exports" I can (as I read it) simply

I am writing a package which uses the Rgraphviz package which in turn uses the graph package, but my question does not (I believe) pertain specifically to the these packages so therefore I dare to post the question here: I my package I have a function "edges" which works on some graphs I have defined. However, there is also a function "edges" (or rather a generic method) in

I've defined the function getFunNames <- function(FUN){ if (!is.list(FUN)) fun.names <- paste(deparse(substitute(FUN)), collapse = " ") else fun.names <- unlist(lapply(substitute(FUN)[-1], function(a) paste(a))) fun.names } which gives what I want : > getFunNames(mean) [1] "mean" > getFunNames(ff) [1] "ff" >

All - I'm creating some plots in R that I would like to overlay on images that are created outside of R. I've used "image" before to plot image-like data within R, and have added vector plots on top of them, but I can't find a way to read in an external bitmap file into R and use that. Currently the external files are .png's, but I could generate a few other types,

I would like to see how the matrix multiplication operator %*% is implemented (because I want to see which external Fortran/C routines are used). How can I do so? Best S??ren

In xyplot, I would like to get the "data into the panel function" in the following sense: Consider xyplot(scc~time|cowidp, data=cow.s,type=c("l"), panel=function(x,y,subscripts,...){ panel.xyplot(x,y,...) vvv<-cow.s[which(!is.na(cow.s[subscripts,"mastreat"])),"time"] panel.abline(v=vvv,col="red",lwd=2) } ) If I want to use a

Dear all, I need to calculate tr(A B), tr(A B A B) and similar quantities **fast** where the matrices A, B are symmetrical. I've searched for built-in functions for that purpose, but without luck. Can anyone help? Thanks in advance Søren [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Dear all, I wonder if it is "bad style" (or something worse) to create an "update" function which does not work on model objects of the lm, glm etc. type. Specifically, I have some graph objects (graphs as mathematical objects, not as displays) which I want to alter and for that purpose I thought of writing an update function. Would doing so violate a "deeper

I write a package foo which requires a package bar (from CRAN) to work. So in the DESCRIPTION file I write Depends: bar. I would like it to be so that when one installs foo, then it is automatically checked whether bar is installed, and if not then bar is also installed at the same time. I remember having seen packages which do so, but I can not figure out the mechanism 'Depends: bar' in

Dear all, In SAS (GLM and MIXED) estimable functions (linear functions of the parameters) can be specified in the ESTIMATE and CONTRAST statements. Has anyone written a similar "utility" for use in connection with lm?
