I would like to limit the significant figures of the calibrated parameters determined by genoud() in the Rgenoud package. Below is some example output, where column 1 is model run number, columns 2-7 are the parameter values, and columns 8-12 are model fit statistics. I would like genoud to internally limit parameters to 4 decimal places as shown in this output. It is clear that the function is

I am trying to use the optimizing function genoud() with the snow package on a couple of i686 machines running Redhat Linux WS4 . I don't know anything about PVM or MPI, so I just followed the directions in snow and rgenoud for the simplest method and started a socket cluster. My function fn for genoud involves updating an input file for a separate numerical model with the latest parameter

I can't get Emacs to automatically do syntax highlighting of Sweave files. I have followed Friedrich's suggestion for code to insert into my .emacs file. The complete section from my .emacs file is given below. When I load a *.Snw file, font is white until I press M-x, then the first code and document chunks get highlighted, but not the rest of the file. Latex and Noweb menus are

Hi, I often use the mod() and instring() functions that are available in the clim.pact package. This package has a lot of dependencies, including installation of netCDF, and I haven't yet been able to get library(clim.pact) to work on a Mac OS 10.4.6. A previous request for help with the Mac problem yielded no results, so now I wonder if I could just extract the definitions for the couple

I would like to use a map or aerial photo as a background to plotting solid lines and text, and semi-transparent color contours, in base and lattice graphics. Plot coordinates need to be consistent with the georeferenced background. For example, a color contour plot would have an gray-toned aerial photograph as a background for overprinted semi-transparent color contours of some spatially

Hello, After getting help to solve part of my problem and some delay on my part, I am posting a more refined version to see if someone can help me further. I am trying to autocalibrate a model in my subject area using the snow and rgenoud packages. I want to use the key function "fn" that is called by genoud() to finalize input, run the model executable, and compute the objective

I am trying to process text fields scanned in from a csv file that is output from the Windows database program FileMakerPro. The characters onscreen look like regular text, but R does not like their underlying binary form. For example, one of text fields contains a name and a number, but R recognizes the number as something other than what it appears to be in plain text. The character string

Hi, I'm trying to install rimage on a Mac OS X 10.4 machine. I followed the advice in previous R-help threads and got over the hurdles of having the header files in the right places, among other things. But I can't figure out what to do with this error. ice.pnl.gov:/home/waichler<949>system_profiler -detailLevel mini SPSoftwareDataType Software: System Software Overview:

I am looking for examples of how to plot with contour3d() to a PNG or PDF file, add axes and other elements to the isosurface plot, and use contour3d in conjunction with lattice. Regarding lattice, I'm not necessarily looking for conditioning on the data shown in the isosurface plots, just a way to show multiple plots in one figure and label them. I am new to the packages misc3d and rgl.

I am using levelplot() from lattice with grids that have unequal cell sizes. This means that the boundary between two cells is not always half-way between nodes, as levelplot() assumes. The result is that some cell sizes are rendered incorrectly, which can be painfully obvious if using relatively large cells. Is there any work-around? I am using the conditioning capability of lattice and

I would like to create a barchart that has vertical instead of horizontal bars. My goal is something similar to Figure 6.10 (p. 166) in "The Basics of S and S-plus," except for the orientation of the bars. I don't think bwplot() or xyplot() will work. Any suggestions?

I just updated my Redhat EL systems to R-2.7.2, and tried to update my packages as well. Lattice is one that failed. What do I need to do? R version 2.7.2 (2008-08-25) > install.packages("lattice", repos = "http://cran.fhcrc.org/") Warning in install.packages("lattice", repos = "http://cran.fhcrc.org/") : argument 'lib' is missing: using

I can't find a way to change just the panel background color in lattice. I would like NA regions in levelplot() to appear black. I've tried the trellis.par.set() stuff, but it it makes the background of the whole graphic black. Thanks, Scott Waichler Pacific Northwest National Laboratory scott.waichler _at _ pnl.gov

I can't get the scales parameter in xyplot of lattice to work as I expected. I'm using R-2.1.0 and lattice 0.11-8. There should be year labels from 1992 to 2004 for the x axis in the plot below, but instead only a few of them appear, and in the wrong spots, as if the coordinate system has changed after finishing with the panel function. library(chron) library(lattice) # vertical grid

I have a script containing an xyplot() to print to a postscript file, followed by dev.off(). When I source the script, the dev.off() seems to cut off the xyplot() execution before it is finished. The resulting postscript file has about the right size, but it appears blank when I try to view it. If I manually execute the xyplot(), then wait for the return of the R prompt before executing

I get faulty output from seq.dates() if I specify a length that is too long. For example, I ask for 129 months in the following call to the function, but it returns 131: > R.version.string [1] "R version 1.9.1, 2004-06-21" > startdatetime <- chron(dates="01/01/1995", times="00:00:00") > beg.month.datetimes <- seq.dates(from=startdatetime,

I would like to generate a vector having the same length as the number of rows in a matrix. The vector should contain an integer indicating the "group" of the row, where identical matrix rows are in a group, and a unique row has a unique integer. Thus, for a <- c(1,2) b <- c(1,3) c <- c(1,2) d <- c(1,2) e <- c(1,3) f <- c(2,1) mat <- rbind(a,b,c,d,e,f) I would

I'm making some 3D plots with contour3d from misc3d and wireframe from lattice. I want to view them from below; i.e. the negative z-axis. I can't figure out how to do so. I would like my point of view looking up from below, with the z, y, and x axes positive going away. Can anyone tell me the correct settings for screen to achieve this? Here is what I've found so far:

I'm trying to understand how to use kpss.test() properly. If I have a level stationary series like rnorm() in the help page, shouldn't I get a small p-value with the null hypothesis set to "Trend"? The (condensed) output from kpss.test() for the two possible null hypotheses is given below. I don't see any significant difference between these results. > x <-

The handy function summary() doesn't work correctly with Date class objects: > R.version.string [1] "R version 1.9.1, 2004-06-21" > b <- as.Date(c("2002-12-26", "2002-12-27", "2002-12-28", "2002-12-29", "2002-12-30")) > b [1] "2002-12-26" "2002-12-27" "2002-12-28" "2002-12-29"
