Greetings R-ians: I know what doesn?t work but I don?t know why, nor how to remedy things. I have a character string containing "." which I want to replace with " " gsub(".", " ", file.label) replaces the every character with a blank. However gsub(".xls", " ", file.label) replaces ".xls" with a blank as expected. It appears

R-ians: After some effort I coerced my code to do what I want but my syntax is a kludge. Suggestions on more elegant syntax? par <- NIM.results$par do.call("Draw.NIM.POD.curve", list(par[1], par[2], par[3], par[4], par[5], a.hat.decision, .... et cetera ... It seems that I should be able to avoid defining the variable "par" and then specifying each of its elements,

Greetings, R-ians: I would like to know which version or R was used to create a given package. I think I remember seeing that topic discussed recently but cannot find it among my notes. Can anyone tell me how to determine which version of R created a package? Thanks. Charles Annis, P.E. <mailto:Charles.Annis@StatisticalEngineering.com> Charles.Annis@StatisticalEngineering.com

Greetings R-ians: Searching the Searchable Mail Archives I discovered that ctrl L will clear the Rgui screen, which is what I'd like to do from a print (or some similar) statement. Is there a mechanism to use the ctrl L clear-screen sequence in a script, or print statement? Thanks for your counsel. Charles Annis, P.E.

Greetings, R-ians: I'm using R 2.3.1 on WindowsXP. I need to find the name of a file at the end of a sting that contains the path + file, with the problematic "\\" as separators. The string looks something like this: "C:\\Documents and Settings\\myName\\My Documents\\R Projects\\Project1\\file.name.csv" What I want is "file.name.csv" Currently I use the

Dear R Helpers: I am trying to annotate a plot. The following code snippet works, but it is kind of a kludge since it adds the partial derivative symbols after creating the plotmath frac(). Is there a more elegant way to write a partial derivative? dev.off() plot(NA, xlim=c(-3,3), ylim=c(0,1.6), xlab="", ylab="", tck=-0.015) text(1.6, 1, expression(paste("slope =

Greetings R-wizards: For historical reasons I have filenames with the character "?" and have successfully used "\u00e2" in its place, with the hoped-for result on all my on-screen plots. However since R2.7.0 I have trouble with savePlot() when the file name includes that character as it does in this example: savePlot(paste("diagnostic ? vs a ", file.label,

Dear R-ians: I'm running R2.9.2 on a 6 year old Windows XP DELL with 2 Gig RAM and a 3MHz Pentium 4 chip. I've written a package using the User Menus Under Windows commands (winMenuAdd, etc). It works very well. I have 6 test cases and running any one of them requires many selections form the menus and some keyboard entry, and it takes me hours to exercise them all to see

Greetings, Amigos: I have been trying without success to convert a character string, > repeated.measures.columns [1] "3,6,10" into c(3,6,10) for subsequent use. as.numeric(repeated.measures.columns) doesn't work (likely because of the commas) [1] NA Warning message: NAs introduced by coercion I've tried many things including strsplit(repeated.measures.columns, split =

Greetings: I'm running R2.6.2 on a WinXP DELL box with 2 gig RAM. I have created a new glm link function to be used with family = binomial. The function works (although any suggested improvements would be welcome), logit.FC <- function(POD.floor = 0, POD.ceiling =1) { if (POD.floor < 0 | POD.floor > 1) stop ("POD.floor must be between zero and one.") if

I?ve been using this routine for several years. I?m sorry, I don?t remember where I got it. It works as it should, viz. it blanks the R console. But it requires package rcom and now that requires rscproxy. cls <- function () { require(rcom) wsh <- comCreateObject("Wscript.Shell") comInvoke(wsh, "SendKeys", "\f") invisible(wsh) } > cls()

Dear R-helpers: I am doing some exploratory programming and am considering a routine that has several other routines defined within it, so that I can avoid a large and messy global re-programming to avoid naming conflicts. My question is this: Because it is interpreted, does R have to re-build these internal routines every time the new routine is called? I'm not overly worried right now

Greetings: This should be easy but it isn't. I have a home-brew package that works fine, with compiled html help pages, all 150 of them. I want to make a similar package but not from scratch since only a half-dozen routines are changed. So I created a new directory, copied the old package into it and changed the name to newSTUFF. I changed the names of all help pages too, as weill

I have installed Microsoft Vista Release Candidate 1, and R-2.4.0, on a 4 year old DELL box with a 2.26 GHz P4 and 1 gig. It was a clean install ? R is the only non-MS program running. I cannot install packages from CRAN, nor from local zipped files. (I have R-2.4.0 installed on a Windows XP machine and have had no problems so the difficulty seems to be Vista not R, however they aren't

Greetings, R-Citizens: I have the good fortune of working with a 19" 1280 X 1024 pixel monitor. My R-code produces nice-looking graphics on this machine but the same code results in crowded plots on an older machine with 800 X 600 resolution. In hindsight this seems obvious, but I didn't anticipate it. My code will be used on machines with varying graphics (and memory) capacity. Is

Greetings, R-Wizards: I'm trying to find an extremum subject to a nonlinear constraint. (Yes, I have perused the archives but have found nothing positive.) The details of the problem are these: In a paper published some years ago in Technometrics, ("Confidence bands for cumulative distribution functions of continuous random variables" Technometrics, 25, 77-86. 1983), Cheng and

Greetings, R-ians: Yes it's easy to run R from a CD: I copied my windows installation folder to the CD, then copied my R working directory to the CD. To run from the CD, I copy the working directory from the CD to the desktop, and then create an R desktop icon that points to Rgui.exe on the CD, and starts in the working directory folder I just copied to the desktop. The problem is that to

I am trying to simulate a series of ones and zeros (1 or 0) and I am using "rbinom" but realizing that the number of successes expected is not accurate. Any advice out there. This is the example: N<-500 status<-rbinom(N, 1, prob = 0.15) count<-sum(status) 15 percent of 500 should be 75 but what I obtain from the "count" variable is 77 that gives the probability of
