Hi, I am having some trouble trying to install a number of packages in R on my work computer. An example of the code I am using is as follows: install.packages("ggplot2",dependencies=TRUE) An example of the error messages I am getting is: Warning: unable to access index for repository http://cran.stat.auckland.ac.nz/bin/windows/contrib/2.9 Warning: unable to access index for

Dear all, Using the SetInternet2(TRUE) option works wonders with R in my sealed down work-environment. However, I'd like to use RCurl and apparently the proxy settings are not carried over. Is it possible to figure out the proxy-IP and port number from R after invoking SetInternet2? //M

I don't think it's the path or the slashes. I run other files in this same manner, with the same path to the script itself, and they go off without a hitch. Although this is the first time I am using 3.4.3, and the only script I am using that version of R for at the moment. Having said that, I did TRY reversing the slashes and got the same result. :-) Michael Ashton, CFA Managing

Hi - For a while I've used RExcel without problems to run a repeating portfolio optimization problem where I solve for a portfolio allocation targeting a particular risk, then solve for a different risk, etc. I call the commands with (e.g.) rinterface.Rrun "(R command)" Recently that macro started blowing up, returning #RErrors, and when I try to trace the error I find that it is

Fascinating. The script runs fine in 3.2.5, but won't run in 3.4.3 even with ALL lines commented out. I have no idea what that means. I can't imagine I found a 3.4.3 bug no one knows about.

Hi, My name is Katie and I was wondering if you could help me with my problem. I am trying to write a function in R that computes the statistics (mean, standard error, confidence intervals) for stratified samples. I am not that familiar with R and I am having dificulties setting this function up. Any help or tips on where/how to do this? Best, Katie [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Hi ? This is giving me a headache. I?m trying to do a relatively simple optimization ? actually trying to approximate the output from the Excel Solver function but at roughly 1000x the speed. ? The optimization parameters look like this. The only trouble is that I want to add a constraint that sum(wgt.vect)=1, and I can?t figure out how to do that in optim. Mo.vect <-

Thanks Bert. But everyone on that forum wants to use finance tools rather than general optimization stuff! And I am not optimizing a traditional Markowitz mean-variance problem. Plus, smarter people here. :-) > On May 3, 2018, at 3:01 PM, Bert Gunter <bgunter.4567 at gmail.com> wrote: > > You can't -- at least as I read the docs for ?optim (but I'm pretty > ignorant

Hi - Think this is quick help. Not sure how to trap what is causing my simple script to run fine in R, but fail immediately when called from rscript. I can put all sorts of traps in the script itself, but when called from the command line the r window simply flashes and closes. There's probably a way to find out why rscript is failing, but I don't know it and can't seem to find it

Hi, I am trying to use CART to find an ideal cut-off value for a simple diagnostic test (ie when the test score is above x, diagnose the condition). When I put in the model fit=rpart(outcome ~ predictor1(TB144), method="class", data=data8) sometimes it gives me a tree with multiple nodes for the same predictor (see below for example of tree with 1 or multiple nodes). Is there a way

Dear R Team, I am a new R user and I am currently trying to subset my data under a special condition. I have went through several pages of the subsetting section here on the forum, but I was not able to find an answer. My data is as follows: ID NAME MS Pol. Party 1 John x F 2 Mary s S

I am having a hard time with 'next'. I come from the "sloppy" school that learned BASIC with Goto. Conceptually next seems pretty straightforward. I just can't get it to work correctly in my code. Here's a stripped down version: WhichRunNow<-"Daily" Cnums=c(0,1,"2b3") Cpers=c("Daily","Daily","Weekly") for (j in

I am wondering how to obtain SE estimates for fixed effects from a nonlinear mixed effects model? I have fixed effects corresponding to three factors A, B and C with 2, 3 and 3 levels respectively. I have fit a model of the following general form: nlme1<-nlme(y~ SasympOrig(x, Asym, lrc), data=df, fixed=list(Asym~A*B*C, lrc~A*B*C), start=c(fixef(ETR.nlme)[1], rep(0,17), fixef(ETR.nlme)[2],

R is a case-sensitive language: 'if' (lowercase 'i') is a keyword and 'If' (uppercase 'I') is not.

Hello all, I am trying to understand how to specify nested factors when using coxph(), and if it is appropriate to nest these factors in my situation. In the simplest form, I am testing two different temperatures, with each temperature being performed twice in different experimental periods (e.g. Temp5 performed in Period A and C, Temp4 performed in Period B and D) I am trying to see if survival

Just in case -- if anybody has got a spare ticket for RailsConf, i''d be very happy to buy it... I live in Chicago, so i can do this on very short notice as well, should anybody not be able to attend... :) Otherwise - this being Chicago - no question there''ll be scalpers... :) Thanks, Sebastian
