Greetings I have a bunch of NAs in a column of categorical variables designating the size classes (e.g., smallest to largest: 1,2,3,4) of cave crickets. I'd like to substitute "U" (for unknown) for the NAs. Can anyone give me an idea how to do this? Thanks in advance.

Greetings Though I have months in chronological order in my data table, the data were sampled every other month (i.e., February, April, June, August, October, December), every time I try to plot them (on the x-axis) they are plotted in alphabetical order. What am I missing? Cheers Kurt *************************************************************** Kurt Lewis Helf, Ph.D. Ecologist EEO

Greetings Using the following command I've been trying to subset a dataframe of counts of an organism to compute the sizes of groups for use as a predictor: Hs.patches <- as.data.frame(with(Hs.long, table(Cave,Year,Month,Region,Plot,))) I am getting the following error message that I do not understand: ERROR: argument is missing, with no default Can anyone shed light on this

Greetings I want to remove numbers from a string of characters that identify sites so that I can merge two data frames. For example, a site in one frame is called "001a Frozen Niagara Entrance" whereas the same site in the other data frame is called "Frozen Niagara Entrance". It seems to me the easiest thing to do would be to remove the numbers from the first data

All Is there a script in R equivalent to the "if then" transforms one can perform in Systat? For example, I want to create a "Treatment" column coded either 1 or 2 for twelve field sites in a large data set. Ideally, I'd be able to tell R to code sites a-f as 1 and sites g-l as 2.

Greetings I am attempting to plot observations of a cave aquatic invertebrate dating from 1901-2004. I can come up with a nice lattice plot of the eight sites from which I have data easily enough. However, I'd like to be able to highlight the 0 observations on the plots, i.e., attempts to find it at the site were unsuccessful. I'd like to be able to highlight these observations

Greetings I'm having difficulty witht the strptime function. I can't seem to figure a way to strip month (name) and year and create separate columns from a column with MM/DD/YYYY formatted dates. Can anyone help? Cheers Kurt *************************************************************** Kurt Lewis Helf, Ph.D. Ecologist EEO Counselor National Park Service Cumberland Piedmont Network

Greetings I'm attempting to insert missing data on the smallest size class of cave cricket instars into a data frame. The data involve censusing photoplots (plots) of roosting cave crickets in which we discern in four instars or size classes. I need to insert data on size class one into a data frame that already has data on size classes two through four. The data can be merged by their

dear R users, I need some help for multivariate analysis. I have 2 anaesthetic treatment groups (20 patients/group) where I register heart frequency and pressure for 60 min (repeated measures every 5 minutes). I would like to perform a test to check if treatments are different in controlling freq and pressures during the anaesthesia, but i would like to have also an overall measure and not

Hello, I have a small problem which has grown (and continues to grow) over the years. I have upgraded my linux system so many times, I''m worried that I have old, insecure libs and executables somewhere on my system which may or may not be used to gain access to my system. How do I determine which libs I should have where, and which libs are safe to delete? There are some programs

Greetings- We use smbclient -M to send a Message of the Day to clients every once in a while. The clients are NT4 (SP3), and the server is Samba 1.9.19-prealpha. However, the same problem appears with version 2.0.0. The issue is: once the file to be sent exceeds approximately 675 bytes (smbclient reports sending 975 bytes, presumably including some overhead), the message turns up blank on the

I've attached a perl script that I wrote to build smbpasswd from /etc/passwd. Please note that this writes a samba-2.0 format smbpasswd file. This script will: # - create accounts that exist in /etc/passwd and not in smbpasswd # - remove accounts that exist in smbpasswd and not in /etc/passwd # - preserve existing password, flags and LCT fields in smbpasswd # - sets new account passwords to

Hi! I wish to know if there is any R forum which is meant only for Statistics? I mean where we can clarify our statistics doubts and seek knowledge. I know there are lot many books and internet sites, but 'R forum' has altogether different standard and very high level and one can learn a lot from them.

Dear All, I am using a Procrustes analysis to compare two NMDS ordinations for the same set of sites. One ordination is based on fish data, the other is based on invertebrate data. Ordinations were derived using metaMDS() from the {vegan} library as follows: fish.mds<-metaMDS(fish.data, distance="bray", k=3, trymax=100, wascores=TRUE, trace=TRUE, zero="add")

Hello all I'm trying to do a simulation that involves identifying the minimum point between two peaks of a (usually) bimodal distribution. I can do this easily if there are only two peaks: CnBdens<-density(Ys/Xs) #probability density function for ratio of Ys to Xs for(p in 1:512) ifelse(CnBdens$y[p]>CnBdens$y[p-1],peak1<-p,break) #identifies first peak in probability

I am trying to make some plots for a poster. Each one needs to be 6 inches by inches. Right now the fonts are too small and the plots don't read well on my poster. I am pretty much an R newbie and I can't figure out how to change the fonts. It would also be nice to know how to specify the size of the plot and maybe how to save the plots as jpeg files. Any help would be much appreciated! I

Dear all, I am facing some problem with how to fit a "Baseline category Logit model" with R. Basically I am considering famous "Alligator" data as discussed by Agresti. This data can also be found here: https://onlinecourses.science.psu.edu/stat504/node/174 (there is also an accompanying R file, however the underlying R code could not load the data properly!!!) Below are

Hello! I am working on a manuscript on sexual dimorphism in an aquatic invertebrate, where we have estimated sexual dimorphism (SD) for 7 different traits in four populations (a total of 28 SD-estimates). We have used the following formula for estimating SD: 100 * (mean male trait value - mean female trait value)/overall trait mean). Then, we have used these SD-estimates to perform a GLM against
