Hello, Is there an way to easy comment of sections of code? I was thinking something along the lines of \dontrun{ codeline 1 .... codeline k } but that could be used in regular script files. When I am still working on a script, I often want to being using what is done, but I would like the parts I am still working on not to be run when I use source() on the file. I can set everything off

Dear R Users, I know issues like this have come up in the past. I am wondering how many people would be interested in an online mechanism for donating to the R Foundation or for becoming supporting members. Right now, the link for it is somewhat buried on the R home page, and once you get there, the options are to mail or fax a form. IIRC, Paypal was not a good option due to some fees, but

Hi All, Apologies if this is a very naive question. Is there a way to see the particular Rd file being processed right before a warning/error occurs? As far as I can tell, all my .Rd files use have names and titles and they are unique between Rd files (sometimes in a file I use something like \name{foo} \title{Foo}). I seem to be able to convert files to latex using: R CMD Rdconv --type=latex

Dear All, What is the preferred way for Package A, to initialize a cluster, and load Package B on all nodes? I am writing a package that parallelizes some functions through the use of a cluster if useRs are on a Windows machine (using parLapply and family). I also make use of another package in some of my code, so it is necessary to load the required packages on each slave once the cluster is

Hello All, I am trying to create a column of weights based off of factor levels from another column. I am using the weights to calculate L scores. Here is an example where the first column are scores, the second is my "factor" and the third I want to be a column of weights. I can do what I want with an ifelse statement (see below), but I am wondering if anyone knows of a cleaner way

Dear Josh, Thanks for your help! Does your answer mean, that you agree the two methods should do the same, and what I was guessing, despite the small differences? What I prefer about ci.pd is, that the help clearly says which method is implemented, which is not the case for prop.test. But I do not know who has programmed the function.

Hi folks, Win7 64bit R 1.12.0 I run following command on R:- > ToothGrowth > attach(ToothGrowth) > plot(dose,len) > matrics=lm(len~dose) > abline(metrics) Error in int_abline(a = a, b = b, h = h, v = v, untf = untf, ...) : plot.new has not been called yet Only a grey diagram is displayed without content > plot(abline(metrics)) Error in int_abline(a = a, b = b, h = h, v

Dear All, I am trying to graph a simple scatter plot where the x axis is year and the y axis is a percentage (percentage of infant death). Instead of plotting the raw data, I want to plot summary statistics such as mean and median. Here is the problem: the value range of y is between 0 and 1, but since infant death is a rare event, the mean and median is very low (something like 5%), which shows

Ok so if I have a function: functest<-function(x){ a<-x+1 b<-x+2 c<-x+3 paste(a) paste(b) paste(c) } Now I know I can do cat(), or return() on one of them but if I was to run the function with any number, how could I create objects to save so I could do, I am wondering if I have more than one object within my function. functest$a

Hi All, Does anyone know of a function to plot a regression surface for two predictors? RSiteSearch()s and findFn()s have not turned up what I was looking for. I was thinking something along the lines of: http://mallit.fr.umn.edu/fr5218/reg_refresh/images/fig9.gif I like the rgl package because showing it from different angles is nice for demonstrations. I started to write my own, but it has

Hello I have a matlab MAT file that contains one single variable: a. The structure of a is as follows: a.river1.flow (flow values) a.river1.date_flow (date) a.river1.precip (precipitation values) a.river1.date_precip a.river2.flow a.river2.date_flow a.river2.precip a.river2.date_precip I have used readMat to load the variable a in R, however I have no idea how readMat translates a. I managed

Dear R users, I am stuck trying to figure out how to make a function return one value and print another.? Here is an example function: ################## eg <- function(x, digits=4) { xbar <- mean(x) sdx <- sd(x) value <- list(xbar, sdx) names(value) <- c("Mean of X", "SD of X") return(value)} ################## My current "solution" has been to

Hi All, I am trying to compile R 2.13.0 r53834 on 64-bit Windows 7 (home premium) using Rtools212.exe from Duncan Murdoch's site. I (think) I followed the installation guide for Windows. When installing Rtools, made sure I was installing 64-bit tools (including tcltk), etc. I created a copy of MkRules.local where I selected 64 bit instead of 32 architecture. When I run:

Dear all, I would like to print a few values with less digits than the default. How I can reduce how many digits are printed ?(warning: not the real integer resolution but what is shown in screen) Best Regards Alex

Dear R People: I have a data frame, xm1, which has 12 rows and 4 columns. If I put is xm1[,-4], I get all rows, and columns 1 - 3, which is as it should be. Now, is there a way to use the names of the columns to omit them, please? Thanks so much in advance!

Hello can anyone help please? i read two words "cell1", "cell2" into a list. I want to turn this list into a factor. > cell_data <-list(c('cell1','cell2')) > cell_data [[1]] [1] "cell1" "cell2" > factor_list <- factor(cell_data) Error in sort.list(y) : 'x' must be atomic for 'sort.list' Have you called

Hi, please could you recommend a R package that computes a 2 sample z-test ? thanks, Bogdan [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Hello all, I am loading a data frame, fitting a model, getting diagnostic plots and they are flagging a couple of observations as problematic. Fair enough, and I want re-fit without them. After I delete an offending row (identified by one of the diagnostic plots), something like data = data[-3,]; then R will no longer print the contents of the data frame; it tells me it is a data frame

Hello, I have a data set which is similar to the following data mice <- rep(letters[1:4],10) outcome <- sample(c(0,1),length(mice),replace=T) group <- c(rep("A",length(mice)/2),rep("B",length(mice)/2)) my.data <- data.frame(mice,outcome,group) my.sort.data <- my.data[order(my.data[,1]),] I would like to test wether there is a different between group A and B
