Hi is there an alternative to par(new), for ading data to a plot for a different y-axis? My problem with par(new=TRUE) is, that it re-defines all axis and labels (as in example 1) and one has to use xlim=... to fix the x-axis. I am looking for something, which simply resets the y-axis, so that a new plot() (or points()/lines()) keeps the x-axis, but re-defines the y-axis. Is there something

Hi I upgraded to R 2.10.0, and I encounter a problem with some packages on R, installed via apt-get.. They are still compiled by 2.9 and give me an warning when I load the packages. Will these packages be recompiled with R 2.10, or should I rather switch to self-compiling? Cheers, Rainer -- Rainer M. Krug, PhD (Conservation Ecology, SUN), MSc (Conservation Biology, UCT), Dipl.

Hi is there an easy and fast way, to generate a BibTeX file of all installed / loaded packages and R? I know about toBibtex(citation()) to extract the BibTeX for a single package, but how can I generate a file containg citations for all installed / loaded packages?

Hi R experts :) I'm trying to carry out a survival model on my data, but I am unsure of whether it's appropriate or if I should do something specific in regards to hazard. My data is time to death by predator where I have 8 prey and one predator in the setting. This means that two prey can't possibly die at the same time and I can't quite get my head around how to include this in

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi I have to replace the last element of a vector with 0, but the length of x is not known at coding time. So I do the following: x <- 1:10 x x[length(x)] <- 0 x it is working nicely, but I am wondering: is there a more elegant solution( like tail(x, 1) <- 0 , which does not work)? Thanks, Rainer - -- Rainer M. Krug, PhD (Conservation

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi I know there is a function - I have used it before - but I always forget what it is called... I need the combination of two character vectors, i.e: x <- c("a", "b") y <- c("x", "y") z <- THEFUNCTION(x, y) z == c("ax", "ay", "bx", "by") I promise I will

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi I am writing simulations in R, and quite regularly, I have to save lists and objects to HDD and load it later again. So I am wondering: why is there no function to write lists (and S3, S4 objects) onto HDD WITHOUT keeping the name? What I mean is: For data.frames I can use x <- data.frame(x = runif(10)) write.table(x, "x.txt) rm(x) y

Hi, I would like to find out the coordinates of the intersection points of 2 density curves. I did a search but i didn't get any significant results. I really hope some of you have some ideas. here it is an example: set.seed(123) x1 <- rnorm(100, 1, 1) x2 <- rnorm(100, 0, 1) d1 <- density(x1) d2 <- density(x2) plot(d1, col = 2) lines(d2, col = 4) Now i would like to know

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi rgl crashes my R session, when resizing the rgl graphic window. I am using Ubuntu Maversick, with dual monitor setup. If I disconnect one monitor, I can resize it "a little bit", but it still craches if I enlarge it to much. I assume that the problem has to do with allocated graphic memory in the kernel, but why is R crashing

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi I know this has been asked before, but I can not find it - so my apologies. I want to compile R myself, to optimize it for speed. There is a small section (a few lines actually) in the R-admin manual (Compilation-flags) which states that the LDFLAGS "on recent systems ?'-Bdirect,--hash-style=both,-Wl,-O1'? is recommended". But

Hi Let's assume, I have a dataset of 1000 datapoints, which represent daily recordings of a measurement. They are stored as a ts object (see example below) Now I want to represent them as a barplot. I found the barplot in the zoo package, but I have one problem: the x-axis labels. I would like to have the x-axis labels as either years only (located at the beginning of the year), or

Hi This is OT, but I need it for my simulation in R. I have a special case for sampling with replacement: instead of sampling once and replacing it immediately, I sample n times, and then replace all n items. So: N entities x samples with replacement each sample consists of n sub-samples WITHOUT replacement, which are all replaced before the next sample is drawn My question is: which

Hi r-users,   I try to draw histogram (in terms of probabilty) and superimpose with the gamma pdf. Using this code below I can get the plots BUT the y scale for the density is out of scale.  How do I change the y-axis scale to max 1?  Another thing, how I do draw smooth line rather that points?   Nota that my observed data is hume_pos and the fitted data is rgam1.   hist(hume_pos,prob=TRUE)

I have not found an easy way to compress a file on filesystem. Especially I'd like to compress a pdf from pdf() function/device. Is it possible to compress It on the flight? I'd like to do something like: pdf(gzipconnection()) dev.off() If It is not possible, how can I create a gzip with the pdf?

Hi, I know this forum is for R-related issues, but the question I have is a statistical question & I was wondering if anyone could recommend a good statistics forum where I can ask the question? My question is relating to bootstrapping of binary data (ecology data) - I can give more detail, but wasn't sure I could address the question here as it is more statistical based than R based

Hi everyone I am trying to do some time series analysis with daily temperature data (40 years). I have created a zoo object and ts object but can't apply stl function. It says the series is not periodic or has less than two periods. I've searched through google and found a lot of messages about this problem but not a solution/example to look for trend and seasonal component of a

Hi I am using Ubuntu Hardy, and I installing many packages from source. I am keeping my R packages fairly up to date. My question is: is there a way, of keeping the source packages, so that when I am installing a new version of R, an update.packages(checkBuilt=TRUE) will only fetch the packages when newer ones are available, but otherwise will use the local copies? To rephrase it, is it
