We would like to load data from Statistics Canada (http://www.statcan.gc.ca/) using R, for example, Employment and unemployment rates. It seems to me that the tables are displayed in HTML. I was wondering if you know how to load these tables. Thanks, -james

R-help, I have the following file I want to import to R (some lines removed) Calibrated CTD data for station:00280001 Calibrated:23/8 2001, Salinity Unsmoothed, Fluorescence Uncalibrated Maximum observed depth: 36 m QUAL has one digit for each of pressure, temp., sal. and fluor. QUAL=1:Uncal., QUAL=2:OK, QUAL=6:Interp., QUAL=9:No data

Can someone please show me how to smooth time series data that I have in the form of a zoo object? I have a monthly economies series and all I really need is to see a less jagged line when I plot it. If I do something like s <- smooth.spline(d.zoo$Y, spar = 0.2) plot(predict(s,index(d.zoo)), xlab = "Year") # not defined for Date objects and if I do something like

Greetings, My question is more algorithmic than prectical. What I am trying to determine is, are the GAM algorithms used in the mgcv package affected by nonnormally-distributed residuals? As I understand the theory of linear models the Gauss-Markov theorem guarantees that least-squares regression is optimal over all unbiased estimators iff the data meet the conditions linearity,

My GAMM model is to find drivers of species richness in forests is gamm1<- gamm(Total Species Richness ~ fROT + s(PH) + s(LOI) + ASP + s(SQRT_ELEV) + CANCOV + s(SQRT_TOTCWD) + s(WELLF) + s(WELLN) + s(OLDWDLD) + s(DISTWOOD) + s(Annprec), random=list (fSITE =~1), family = poisson, data = BIOFOR3) My issues are that the validation graphs are using methods I'm unfamiliar with e.g. square

Merry Christmas to you all and best wishes! I ran into exactly the same problem as described. OS: FreeBSD 9.0-Rel UPS: Eaton E-Series NV 600H NUT: from Ports, nut-2.6.5_1 driver: blazer_usb I am sure the problem is not permission-related as it occurs even when the driver runs as root. My tested recipe for USB permissions is: 1. run usbconfig to find where the device is connected. In my case:

Dear R-help, I have fitted a glm logistic function to dichotomous forced choices responses varying according to time interval between two stimulus. x values are time separation in miliseconds, and the y values are proportion responses for one of the stimulus. Now I am trying to extrapolate x values for the y value (proportion) at .25, .5, and .75. I have tried several predict parameters, and they

Dear Tom, Short answer, if your using spec.pgram(), use the smoothing kernel to get a better estimate at the frequency centered in the bandwidth. If your frequency bin of interest is wider than the bandwidth of the kernel, average across frequencies (I think). The estimate appears to be normalized already. If you are calculating your PSD independently, then oversample (e.g. 2, perhaps 4 or more

*Q: Quick question: does "battery.runtime" update when the device is on battery, or is this field always zero?* *A: Yes, the UPS battery time starts counting when the device starts on battery.* Q: "battery.runtime.low" should be the number of seconds remaining before switching to "LB" status. This seems large, even for a 6000 VA UPS. Is this configurable? A: I

Dear developers, I just noticed that step() function currently prints the current model using message(), but the resulting model using print(). The relevant commands within the step() body are: if (trace) message("Start: AIC=", format(round(bAIC, 2)), "\n", cut.string(deparse(as.vector(formula(fit)))), "\n") (with example() output:) Start: AIC=190.69

Hi all, How can we use ks.test() to evaluate goodness of fit of mixtures of distributions? For example I have the following dataset: > x [1] 176.1 176.8 259.6 171.6 90.0 234.3 145.7 113.7 105.9 176.2 168.9 136.1 [13] 109.2 110.3 164.3 117.7 131.3 163.7 200.4 196.4 196.2 168.6 190.4 127.5 [25] 136.0 114.2 112.0 91.9 333.4 295.5 172.0 293.3 91.7 289.7 118.8 55.1 [37] 161.9 233.9 197.7

This patch adds an ACM hook into the network scripts (/etc/xen/scripts). It adds iptables rules that enforce mandatory access control on network packets exchanged between virtual interfaces. If ACM is active, this patch sets the default FORWARD policy in Dom0 to DROP and adds iptables ACCEPT rules between vifs that belong to domains that are permitted to share (determined by using the

Hello, It looks like the nut-upsuser list is momentarily down. That's why I send it to nut-upsdev list too. I have recently bought a mustek Powermust 1000VA USB (sadly not the USB P version). I have done some tests with the latest nut 2.2.0 megatec and megatec_usb drivers. Here are my feedbacks. It works quite well but is extremely noisy in battery mode (and that is not the noise of the

Hello, first of all I'd like to thank all the NUT developers for their gorgeous work and for their efforts to make NUT the best and most complete UPS management software I've ever seen (seriously). Secondarily I'd like to help the NUT project as far as my help is needed, I'm not a programmer (by now...) but I would like to help somehow anyway. I have 3 UPS from the same

How can I tell if this is normal behaviour? Oracle imports are horribly slow, an order of magnitude slower than on the same hardware with a slower disk array and Solaris 9. What I can look for to see where the problem lies? The server is 99% idle right now, with one database running. Each sample is about 5 seconds. I''ve tried setting kernel parameters despite the docs saying that
