Hi R fans, As a newbie following the five-hour rule (after hitting my head against the wall for five hours, post to this list), I am appealing for some help understanding geom_rect() in ggplot2. What I want to do is very simple. I want to generate a plot of rectangles. Each one represents a business cycle. The x-values will be pairs representing the start and end of each cycle. The y-values

Dear R users, Consider the following example function: f = function(a,b) { g = function(x) a*x + b h = function(x) g(x)^2 + x^2 opt = optimize(h,lower = -1, upper = 1) x.min = opt$minimum h.xmin = opt$objective g.xmin = g(x.min) return(c(x.min, h.xmin, g.xmin)) } In my real problem the function that plays the role of "g" is costly to compute. Now, to

signif(.) is a <primitive> function. Unfortunately, I couldn't even find WHERE in the source, signif(.) is defined. Here are the symptoms: xmin <- .Machine $ double.xmin signif(xmin,3) #--> NA umach <- unlist(.Machine)[paste("double.x", c("min","max"), sep='')] for(dig in 1:10) {cat("dig=",dig,": ");

I have a xml exported by Manifold GIS but I'm not being able to import it into R using XLM package. The file have this structure: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?> - <layout> <name>Layout 2</name> <pagesByX>1</pagesByX> <pagesByY>1</pagesByY> - <elements> <legend

Hello, I discovered SAGA, an interesting free GIS, a few days ago and now, I would like to use it from within R 2.6.2 using the RSAGA package. I read the documentation for this package and thought that I understood it correctly for trying to call some of the SAGA modules. For getting the information on the usage of and arguments required by the SAGA command line "Import Binary Raw

With some help from those with expertise on this list, I managed to produce a plot using trellis that looked like I wanted it to look. Now, I need to take the same plot and make the lines on it color, but I want to specify the color for the lines myself. I've managed to make the key use the colors I want. I've managed to make the symbols of the actual plot use the colors I want. But I

Hi all, I'd like to quantize a variable to map it into a limited set of integers for use with a colormap. "image" and filled.contour" do this mapping inside somewhere, but I'd like to choose the colors for plotting a set of polygons. Is there a pre-existing function that does something like this well? i.e., is capable of using 'breaks'?

In https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pareto_distribution, it is clear what the parameters are for the pareto distribution: *xmin *the scale parameter and *a* the shape parameter. I am using rmutil to generate random deviates from a pareto distribution. It says in the documentation that the probabilty density of the pareto distribution The Pareto distribution has density f(y) = s (1 + y/(m

I want to make a plot, but instead of showing _numerical_ values, I would like to show _symbolic_ values. For example, I want to plot a function y = a x + b, where x varies between Xmin and Xmax. I would like the plot to show, in the x-axis, the strings Xmin and Xmax, instead of their numeric values. Is it possible? Alberto Monteiro

Relatively new user with a question regarding abline. I want to draw a st. line fit to some data but I want the line to span the range of the x-data and NOT the plot limits. In short the line spans xmin to xmax(of plot axis) but I want it to span xmin to xmax (of x data). Can this but done with abline or do I have to use lines and construct the line from a+bx?

Dear R experts, I am sorry for sending this email again. I would imagine yesterday and maybe today, have been very busy days with the release of R v 2.7.0. I join all the R users who are very gratful for your contant work and efforts, specially knowing that you are doing this for the sake of science, without gettig any compensation for that. Having written that, I decided to send the

Hi, I think I have identified a inaccuracy in dchisq when the non-centrality parameter is non-zero and large. Here's a little test: sys.dchisq.test <- function(N = 100000,mean = 0) { z <- rnorm(N,mean = mean, sd = 1) x <- z^2 xmin <- min(x) xmax <- max(x) br <- seq(xmin,xmax,length = 101) dbr <- br[2]-br[1] hist(x,br) p <- dchisq(br,df = 1,ncp =

Hello! I have problems with using of "readBin" to read files, which was written in C with "fwrite". In the C-File there is the following Code: fwrite(MyitINI,sizeof(itINItype),1,outfile); where MyitINI is a structure of the following form typedef struct{ int KernelFileSave; /* Determined, if Systemmatrix saved or not.*/ char KernelFileName[200]; /* A-Matrix name

hi, folks, how have you gone about reporting a p-value from a test when the returned value from a test (in this case a rank-sum test) is numerically equal to 0 according to the machine? the next lowest value greater than zero that is distinct from zero on the machine is likely algorithm-dependent (the algorithm of the test itself), but without knowing the explicit steps of the algorithm

What am I missing? When I run the code below I get the error message "Error: ggplot2 doesn't know how to deal with data of class function" Googling suggests a message of "Error: ggplot2 doesn't know how to deal with data of class XXX" is not uncommon but I don't see why I am getting a "function" error unless I am using some reserved word?

I've wrote some code to simulate a random walk in 2 dimensions on a lattice. Basically I want to add something in to make it plot it point by point so you can see what is going on. Heres my code for the random walk in 2d RW2D<-function(N) { i<-0 xdir<-0 ydir<-0 xpos<-vector() xpos[1]<-xdir ypos<-vector() ypos[1]<-ydir for (i in 1:N-1)

I have a function that does some plotting. I then add lines to the plot. If executed one line at a time, there is not a problem. If I execute the function, though, I get: Error in ans[[1]] : subscript out of bounds This always occurs after the second lines command, and doesn't happen with all of my data points (some do not have errors). Any ideas? Thanks, Sean

Hello at all ! What is the correct form to give a list form R (e.g. list(c(-1,1), "TestFile") ) to C. I have no problems, if I don't use character and I have also no problems to give a character vector form R to C. But, if I combine real and strings in a list then I don't know the correct syntax. I try it with following (an example): SEXP writeFile(SEXP headerR){ Image

I use a 32 bit machine. For those using 64 bit machines, what is the .Machine$double.xmin for for machines? regards.

Hi, I'm trying to introduce a (spatial) exponential correlation structure (with range=200 and nugget.effet of 0.3) in a lme model of this form: lme(ARBUS~YEAR, random=~1|IDSOUS). The structure of the data is "IDSOUS" "XMIN" "YMAX" "YEAR" "ARBUS" with 2 years of data and 5600 points for each year. I do:
