Hello, Sorry if it is not the right place.. I installed R-2.13.0 on a x86_64 linux server. All went fine, but the svg() function yells: > svg() Error in svg() : cairo-based devices are not supported on this build I have the Cairo, cairoDevice, RSvgDevice packages installed, and running. > Cairo.capabilities() png jpeg tiff pdf svg ps x11 win TRUE TRUE TRUE TRUE TRUE

Writing R Ext says to treat R objects that are arguments to .Call as read only (i.e. don't modify). I have a long list of lists that and I want to avoid the overhead of a copy in my C code. I would just like to modify some of the elements of list by replacing them with elements of exactly the same size/type. below is an example of the essence of the problem. This seems to work. Is this

Hello, I am currently migrating from OpenLDAP to Samba 4 PDC, and I have a webpage (PHP/Apache) available for users so that they can change their password on the existing LDAP server. I attempted to adjust that script to change the password on the Samba 4 AD controller, but I get a "cannot connect" error to LDAP. The web server the password script is running on is not on the same

I'm trying to run this simple random sample procedure and keep getting the error message shown. I don't understand this; I've designated x as a numeric vector, so what is going on here? Thanks. > x = as.vector(c(1:12));x [1] 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 > mode(x) [1] "numeric" > sample(x, 3) Error in sample(x, 3) : .Random.seed is not an integer vector

Hi, I'm trying to modify the objectSid of a group using python-ldap. I've found that I need a server control to do it but doesn't work. The code that I'm using: modlist = [ (ldap.MOD_REPLACE, 'objectSid', s3sid_packed) ] LDB_CONTROL_PROVISION_OID = "1.3.6.1.4.1.7165.4.3.16" LDB_CONTROL_RELAX_OID = "1.3.6.1.4.1.4203.666.5.12"

I'm trying to obtain the mean of the middle 95% of the values from each row of a matrix (that is, the highest and lowest 2.5% of values in each row are removed before calculating the mean). I am having all sorts of problems with this; for example the command: apply(matrix1,1,function(x) quantile(c(.05,.90),na.rm=T)) returns the exact same quantile values for each row, which is clearly

But your results for a single test could have been a valid "random" result." I've re-created what I did below. The problem appears to be with the weighting process: the unweighted sample came out much closer to the actual

OK, what is the trick to extracting the overall p value from an lm object? It shows up in the summary(lm(model)) output but I can't seem to extract it: > test2 = apply(aa, 1, function(x) summary(lm(x[,1] ~ 0 + x[,3] + x[,6]))) > test2[[1]] Call: lm(formula = x[, 1] ~ 0 + x[, 3] + x[, 6]) [omitted summary output] F-statistic: 40.94 on 2 and 7 DF, p-value: 0.0001371 It does not seem

This has got to be incredibly simple but I nevertheless can't figure it out as I am apparently brain dead. I just want to convert the elements of a character vector to variable names, so as to then assign formulas to them, e.g: z = c("model1","model2"); I want to assign formulas, such as lm(y~x[,1]) and lm(y~x[,2]), to the variables "model1" and

Within a very large matrix composed of a mix of values and NAs, e.g, matrix A: [,1] [,2] [,3] [1,] 1 NA NA [2,] 3 NA NA [3,] 3 10 17 [4,] 4 12 18 [5,] 6 16 19 [6,] 6 22 20 [7,] 5 11 NA I need to be able to consecutively number, in new columns, the non-NA values within each column (i.e. A[1,1] A[3,2] and A[3,3] would all be set to one, and

I realize this is probably pretty basic but I can't figure it out. I'm looping through an array, doing various calculations and producing a resulting data frame in each loop iteration. I need to give each data frame a different name. Although I can easily create a new character string for writing each frame to an output file, I cannot figure out how to convert such strings to

I continue to have great frustrations with NA values--in particular making summary calculations on rows or cols of a matrix containing them. For example, why does: > a = matrix(1:30,nrow=5) > is.na(a[c(1:2),c(3:4)]);a [,1] [,2] [,3] [,4] [,5] [,6] [1,] 1 6 NA NA 21 26 [2,] 2 7 NA NA 22 27 [3,] 3 8 13 18 23 28 [4,] 4 9 14 19 24 29

I want to perform linear regression on groups of consecutive rows--say 5 to 10 such--of two matrices. There are many such potential groups because the matrices have thousands of rows. The matrices are both of the form: > shp[1:5,16:20] SL495B SL004C SL005C SL005A SL017A -2649 1.06 0.56 NA NA NA -2648 0.97 0.57 NA NA NA -2647 0.46 0.30 NA NA

I admit that I've not done a thorough search on this topic, but from the several instructional manuals and/or tutorials I've looked at, I don't see any mention of relational database capabilities in R? Have I missed something, and if so, can someone point me in the right direction to get started? Thanks! Jim Bouldin, PhD Research Ecologist Department of Plant Sciences, UC Davis

This seemingly should be quite simple but I can't solve it: I have a long character vector of geographic data (data frame column named "XY") whose elements vary in length (from 11 to 14 chars). Each element is structured as a set of digits, then an underscore, then more digits, e.g: > data.frame(head(as.character(XY))) head.as.character.XY.. 1 -448623_854854 2

I can't seem to find info on how to unload packages that have been loaded. My goal in doing so is to gain access to functions that have been masked out by those packages. Or is there another way to do so? Thanks in advance. Jim Bouldin, PhD Research Ecologist Department of Plant Sciences, UC Davis Davis CA, 95616 530-554-1740

I realize this should be simple but I'm having trouble subsetting vectors and matrices, for example extracting all values meeting a certain criterion, from a vector. Cannot seem to figure out the correct syntax and help page not very helpful. Or should I be using some other function than subset. Thanks for any help. Jim Bouldin

When I try to run the following non-linear regression with variables index1 and prl3: > beta = 4 > nls(index1~beta*(1/prl3),start = list(beta = 4)) I get this error message: Error in nls(index1 ~ beta * (1/prl3), start = list(beta = 4)) : REAL() can only be applied to a 'numeric', not a 'logical' I've got no clue as to the REAL() to which this is referring.

Is there a command for partial matching of character strings? Specifically, I'd like to be able to calculate the mean of the values in any columns in a data frame or matrix that have identity in part of their column names. For example, columns labeled "mpw06a" and "mpw06b" match on the first five characters; their mean would be taken whereas any columns beginning with
