HI All, I have written and succesfully uploaded a new package. The licence it is under is 'GPL' --no version. My assumption is, since all the code is written in R the licence R used for R would affect the code (hence my "GPL" stands for "whatever version of the GPL R is under") I am happy with the licencing I used, but I'd like to ask if there is any transitive

Dear All, just a quick example: > x = 1:25 > x[12] = NA > x [1] 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 NA 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 > y = x[x<10] > y [1] 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 NA Is there any way of NOT getting NA for y = x[x<10]? Similarly > y = x[x<15] > y [1] 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 NA 13 14 How do I get rid of the NA (not post

Hi All, I am counting the number of occurrences of the terms listed in one vector in another vector. My code runs: for( i in 1:length(vector3)){ vector3[i] = sum(1*is.element(vector2, vector1[i])) } where vector1 = vector containing the terms whose occurrences I want to count vector2 = made up of a number of repetitions of all the elements of vector1 vector3 = a vector of NAs that is

Hello all, a friend has a problem with tiff() which I was unable to help about. I searched the error messages to no avail. When he tries: tiff(filename = "FedeWhyDoesntThisBloodyWork.tif", width = 5, height = 5, units = "cm", bg = "white", res = 1200) Error in tiff(filename = "FedeWhyDoesntThisBloodyWork.tif", width = 5, : unable to start device

Dear All, I will soon be working with NIH and possibly FDA. Will I be able to use R or will I be forced to use SAS? Cheers, Federico -- Federico C. F.

Hi All, is there a way of predicting memory usage? I need to build an array of 86000 by 2500 numbers (or I might create a list of 2 by 2500 arrays 43000 long). How much memory should I expect to use/need? Cheers, Fede -- Federico C. F.

Hi All, I would like to output the results of a function into a text file, legible as a such. The function produces a summary quite like: summary(lm(x ~ y + w * z)) [for instance] and I am not clear how to save this summary into a text file 'automagically', because I need to be able to do it in a for() loop. Cheers, Federico -- Federico C. F. Calboli Department of Epidemiology

Hi All, I'm having a problem with barplot: mydata [1,] 2 108 0 0 0 1 3 0 0 0 0 0 7 18 3 4 8 20 26 20 19 7 1 1 mycol = c(rep('yellow', 2), rep('white', 3), rep('orange',2), rep('white', 5), rep('orange',3), rep('red',9)) barplot(mydata, col = mycol) gives me an uniformly yellow barplot. How do I solve this? bw Federico

Hi All, I would like to know, is there a *ballpark* figure for how many parameters the minimisation routines can cope with? I'm asking because I was asked if I knew. Cheers, Federico -- Federico C.

Hi All, I have a data frame where a couple of columns are factors, with long and complex names. Everything works ok --in R, but I need to export the data so it can be used on a dumber program (one with a three letters name starting with S...). I know that those complex factor names are causing problems reading the data in from acsv file, so I was thinking of renaming the factors. Problem is, I

Hi All, is there a way of using strsplit with a forward slash '/' as the splitting point? For data such as: 1 T/T C/C 16/33 2 T/T C/C 33/36 3 T/T C/C 16/34 4 T/T C/C 16/31 5 C/C C/C 28/29 6 T/T C/C 16/34 strsplit(my.data[1,1], "/") # and any variation thereof Error in strsplit(apoe[1, 1], "/") : non-character

Hi All, I am writing a function that reads a file in myfile = file('myfile.raw', 'rb') . . . . . close(myfile) No matter what, I get the warning Warning message: closing unused connection 3 (myfile.raw) Since the whole thing is in a function, I'd like to avoid unecessary noise for the user, and I'd like to kill the warning -- without having to mess with global options.

Hi, I am subsetting a matrix thus: test [,1] [,2] [,3] [1,] 1 7 13 [2,] 2 8 14 [3,] 3 9 15 [4,] 4 10 16 [5,] 5 11 17 [6,] 6 12 18 test[cbind(c(1,3,5), c(2,1,3))] [1] 7 3 17 This works fine, and is the equivalent of c(test[1,2], test[3,1], test[5,3]). cbind(c(1,3,5), c(2,1,3)) would obviously look like: [,1] [,2] [1,] 1 2 [2,]

Hi everyone, I'm running a cox ph model on a dataset with a number of variables. Each variable has a different number of missing data, so that coxph() drops the individuals who are missing data at one or more variables. Because of this dropping (totally fine btw) I want to know how many events I am left with in the model. Is there a way of extracting them from the coxph() fit? or in any other

Hi All, does anyone ever import old SPSS files in a sl3 format? read.spss('file.sl3') does not seem to work... it's not recognised as a supported SPSS format at all. Best, Fede -- Federico C. F.

Hi All, does anyone know how to import binary .bed files generated by Plink (http://pngu.mgh.harvard.edu/~purcell/plink/ ) into R? the Plink FAQ explains how to conver other types of files, not the .bed.

Hi All, I am trying to figure out how to get the position of the knots in a pspline used in a cox model. my.model = coxph(Surv(agein, ageout, status) ~ pspline(x), mydata) # x being continuous How do I find out where the knot of the spline are? I would like to know to figure out how many cases are there between each knot. Best, Federico -- Federico C. F. Calboli Department of Epidemiology
