similar to: intersection of 2 density curves

Hi everyone, ? I am trying to get a point of intersection between a polyline and a straight line ?.. and get the x and y coordinates of this point. For exemplification consider this: ? ? set.seed(123) ? k1 <-rnorm(100, mean=1.77, sd=3.33) ?k1 <- sort(k1) q1 <- rnorm(100, mean=2.37, sd=0.74) q1 <- sort(q1, decreasing = TRUE) plot(k1, q1, xlim <- c((min(k1)-5),

In R's maptools package, is there a built-in function to test if a given point is "inside" a given polygon on the map? The map was loaded from an ESRI Shapefile. The point's latitude and longitude are known. Thank you! Aleks -- ------------------------ Aleksandr Andreev Fulbright Fellow Graduate School of Management St Petersburg State University

Does anyone know of a method that I can get the intersection where the red and blue curves meet i.e. the value on the x-axis? x <- 1:10 y <- 10:1 plot(x,y) abline(lm(y~x),col="blue") abline(h=2.5,col="red") Muhammad

Hello again, There is any package which does Z aware (real 3D) interpolations? It can be any method (IDW, kriging or spline) but it should take into consideration not only x and y coordinates for interpolation, but also z coordinate. I looked into different packages but it seems i didn't find the right one. The ultimate goal is to import the output into a GIS (Geographical Information

Hi, I hope someone knows the answer to this or has a real good reference about it (I am using Legendre & Legendre, Numerical Ecology, 1998).... My data is a data.frame with locations as rows and vegetation assemblages / species as columns. I've done a PCA, a correspondance analysis (CA) using ca in ca package and a detrended correspondance analysis (DCA) using decorana from vegan package.

Hi, I am a beginner user of R. I have a trivial question ? I am almost ashamed I cannot figure it out does not matter how many times I am reading the help. I have a table in .txt format, tab delimited. I can read it with ?read.delim()? with no problems. Afterwards I would like to use boxplot function to see if there are any outliers in the column 5 of my data called TPAH16.ppm In the

Hi everyone, I have a vector of strings, each string made up by different number of words. I want to get a new vector which has only the first word of each string in the first vector. I came up with this: str <- c('aaa bbb', 'cc', 'd eee aa', 'mmm o n') str1 <- rep(1, length(str)) for (i in 1:length(str)) { str1[i] <- strsplit(str, "

Hi, I am running Ubuntu 10.10 and I have just installed R 2.14.0. When I try to install a package: install.packages("SPOT") it returns an error message: "Error in readRDS(file) : error reading from the connection". Also, when I try the command in R: update.packages(), it returns the same error message described previously. Any ideas? Regards, Monica [[alternative

Hi, I am getting some strange results using round - it seems that it depends if the number before the decimal point is odd or even .... For example: > round(1.5)[1] 2> round(2.5)[1] 2 While i would expect that round(2.5) be 3 and not 2. Do you have any explanation for that? I really appreciate your input, Monica

Hi everybody, I would like to apply cor.test to a matrix with m rows and n columns and get the results in a list of matrices , one matrix for p.val, one for the statistic, one for the correlation and 2 for upper and lower confidence intervals, something analog with cor() applied to a matrix. I have done my own function to get a matrix of p.values and i suppose i can build similar functions for

Hi, I would like to write a little automatic routine in R, but i am a too much of a beginner for that. I will appreciate any help regarding this particular problem. Let?s suppose I have a data.frame with j columns (from 1 to n) and i rows (from 1 to p). I would like to write a procedure which reads every column j (j from 1 to n) and compare each value with the interval [0,1]. If z(i,j) is

Hi, I am using an if else statement inside a function ?. If I use that function I have no problems ?. If I use the function with the if else statement inside a second function I get the following waring: Warning message: In if (pval == 0) p_value <- "< 2.2e-16" else p_value <- pval : the condition has length> 1 and only the first element will be used Using the second

hi y'all, I am wondering if there is any special command, function, package, etc to help me doing a cumulative distribution function, with y-scale - probability scale. I tried the help in R and i got the following answers: cumsum(base) Cumulative Sums, Products, and Extremes ecdf(stepfun) Empirical Cumulative Distribution Function cpgram(ts) Plot

Hi I am sure this is simple - but how can I convert one charecter vector into one string? example: x <- c("This ", "is ", "one ", "sentence.") should become "This is one entence" Thanks Rainer -- NEW EMAIL ADDRESS AND ADDRESS: Rainer.Krug at uct.ac.za RKrug at sun.ac.za WILL BE DISCONTINUED END OF MARCH Rainer M.

Hi I want to use order() to get the order of a vector. But I would need a different behavior when ties occur: similar to the parameter ties.method = "random" in the rank() function, I would need to randomise the ties. Is this possible? Example: x <- rep(1:10, 2) order(x) [1] 1 11 2 12 3 13 4 14 5 15 6 16 7 17 8 18 9 19 10 20 order(x) [1] 1 11 2 12 3 13 4 14 5 15

I have 5 (A,B,C,D,E) columns in my dataframe. I want to replace all "x" with "y" and all "a" with "b" within these 5 columns. Can I do it in one step? Thanks [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Hi, I am doing a very informal presentation for my office about R capabilities to deal with and analyze spatial data, display data and maps, and connections with GIS. I've used in my presentation info from the CRAN, the spatial Task view, and the more striking graphics examples from http://addictedtor.free.fr/graphiques/thumbs.php and NCEAS

Hi, Very so often when i am plotting something, doing a histogram, or whatever i am struggling to find out which are the numbers for different colors, palette names, types of lines, symbols, etc. Is there any documentation on line with all these numbers / names and the associated symbol / color??? For example if i am using the command image it uses a palette from red to yellow, with red the

Hi, I am trying to get percentages in a more elegant way. I have a data.frame with locations and values (counts) of species at that location. Each location is repeated for each species i have values for and i would like to get percentages of each species at that location. I am not sure if i am clear in my explanations so i will paste my code below: ##################### > x locat val 1
