I have been trying to get Rgraphviz to work (I know it is from Bioconductor) unsuccessfully. Since I have no experience with Bioconductor I thought I would ask here if anyone has advice. I have installed Graphviz 2.20.3 as is recommended on the Bioconductor site but basically R cannot seem to find the needed dll files. So, even though I have added the appropriate directories to the system path R

I am looking for advice on an editor to use with R (windows) that has an autosave feature. I typically write scripts using the RGui (and tried TinnR yesterday) but I am having continuing problems with BSODs (non R related) and have in the past have had issues with R crashes and would really like a system that does not require me to remember to hit the save button on my script every 10 minutes so

I am trying to create a dendrogram object to be able to display a multiway table. I understand how the dendrogram object is structured, a nested list of lists, but I am having trouble trying to create that structure from a table. Basically, what I would like to do is pass a multiway table, say table(a,b,c) to a function and have it display the table as a dendrogram. If a,b,c, and d are all

I am just starting to experiment with the party package and I am getting strange results. In the examples, the "statistic" and "criterion" seem related, i.e. criterion is a 1-p.value and statistic is the test statistic. Higher statistics are associated with higher criteria values. When I run these models on my own dataset, the highest statistic ends up getting a 0.00

Hello all: I have searched through the help files and I have been unsuccessful in solving this problem. I am trying to create a small wrapper function that will go around a call to a plot function and create a windows metafile in the directory and also write the name of the file to a text file. The purpose is to efficiently bring a large number of plots into powerpoint. I am using

Hello. I have a quick question. I try to use logit regression, to work out probabilities in the sport event. I have work out probabilities for group of 2 players: p1 - probability, what player1 will beat player2 p2 - probability, what player2 will beat player1 pt - tie probability, p1 <- 1 - p1 - p2; Now i want to work out probabilities for group of 3 players, like: pg1 - probability, what

I am trying to write a modified function to plot an rpart object. By using getS3method I can see the plot and text code that I want to modify. Since I don't want to modify the package, I create a new function to plot the rpart object. The problem is that the original function calls many rpart specific functions that are only visible inside the rpart namespace. Therefore, when I call my

I am trying to run a partialPlot with Random Forest (as I have done many times before). First I run my forest... Cell is a 6 level factor that is the dependent variable - all other variables are predictors, most of these are factors as well. predCell<-randomForest(x=tempdata[-match("Cell",names(tempdata))],y=tempdata$Cell,importance=T) Then I try my partial plot to look at the

I would like to be able to submit a list of URLs of various webpages and extract the "content" i.e. not the mark-up of those pages. I can find plenty of examples in the XML library of extracting links from pages but I cannot seem to find a way to extract the text. Any help would be greatly appreciated - I will not know the structure of the URLs I would submit in advance. Any

We occasionally utilize the coxph function in the survival library to fit multinomial logit models. (The breslow method produces the same likelihood function as the multinomial logit). We then utilize the predict function to create summary results for various combinations of covariates. For example:

I have a table called players and its model Player, and I have a table called games and its model Game. In the games table I have: player1_id int(11) player2_id int(11) I want the tables to be associated so that I can access the player objects using table.player1 and table.player2 rather than having to lookup the objects based on the ids. I am not sure how to go about this but I suspect I

Hello! I am using function "curve" to create a line graph. I was wondering, if it's possible to "turn off" the default tick marks and introduce those tick marks in specific locations. For example, currently in my X axis tick marks are (automatically) at 10, 11, 12, 13 but I want them to be in 5 specific locations, like 9.89, 10.34, etc. Any hint would be greatly

Hello! I have a matrix a with 2 variables (see below) that contain character strings. I need to create a 3rd variable that contains True if the value in column x is equal to the value in column y. The code below does it. a<-data.frame(x=c("john", "mary", "mary", "john"),y=c("mary","mary","john","john"))

Dear everyone, I don't know much about Integer Programming but am afraid I am facing a problem that can only be solved via Integer Programming. I was wondering if those of you who have experience with it could recommend an R package. I found the following R packages: Rglpk glpk lpSolve lpSolveAPI Are there any others? Are some of them easier to use than others for a beginner? Any advice

Hello! I've run a simple linear model: result<-lm(DV~A+B+C,data=Data) My Data$A,Data$B, and Data$C are factors. So, lm automatically recoded them into dummy variables. I have all the results I need but one. Question: Where could I see the variance explained by all A dummy variables together, then all B dummy variables together, and all C dummy variables together - when other predictors

Dear Random Forests gurus, I have a question about R^2 provided by randomForest (for regression). I don't succeed in finding this information. In the help file for randomForest under "Value" it says: rsq: (regression only) - "pseudo R-squared'': 1 - mse / Var(y). Could someone please explain in somewhat more detail how exactly R^2 is calculated? Is "mse"

Hello everyone! I have a list X with 3 elements, each of which is a data frame, for example: a<-data.frame(a=1,b=2,c=3) b<-data.frame(a=c(4,7),b=c(5,8),c=c(6,9)) c<-data.frame(a=c(10,13,16),b=c(11,14,17),c=c(12,15,18)) X<-list() X[[1]]<-a X[[2]]<-b X[[3]]<-c (X) How can I most effectively transform X into a data frame with columns a, b, and c? I would love to find a generic

Thank you for providing advice on this graphics question. I am building an interaction.plot. d=data.frame(xx=c(3,3,2,2,1,1),yy=c(4,3,4,3,4,3),zz=c(5.1,4.2,4.4,3.5,3.3,-1.1,-1.3) d[[1]]<-as.factor(d[[1]]) d[[2]]<-as.factor(d[[2]]) print(d) interaction.plot(d$xx, d$yy, d$zz, type="b", col=c("red","blue"), legend=F, lty=c(1,2), lwd=2, pch=c(18,24),

I have some data I would like to model which involves choice of food by dung beetles. There are a number of experiments where in each case, there are five choices. Overall there are more than 5 different foods being compared (including a placebo) and different experiments use different comparisons. The problem is a generalization of Bradley-Terry but it differs from some generalizations in

Hello! I think I am relatively clear on how predictor importance (the first one) is calculated by Random Forests for a Classification tree: Importance of predictor P1 when the response variable is categorical: 1. For out-of-bag (oob) cases, randomly permute their values on predictor P1 and then put them down the tree 2. For a given tree, subtract the number of votes for the correct class in the
