I am keen to look at Rcgi as I want to put up some simple bits of R to do prescribed tasks on HTML form input. Rweb is overkill and worryingly flexible for what I want and it sounds as if Rcgi is more what I need. However, I can't get any of the URLs I've found for it to work over the last few days. Does anyone have a recent copy they could Email me or a working URL for it? TIA,

The only references to this I can find searching the archives are to a student who asked in relation to his course work on a stats course. Promise I'm not doing that! I have a situation in which we want to test proportions against an expected proportion, binom.test() is great. I'd like to do some post hoc power tests (the x and n were beyond our control in the survey as all we could set

<headline>Short question</headline>: Do people have advice on debugging R programs running after CGIwithR inputting of data from forms? Is there a way of setting up fast local versions if your local machine has to be a windoze (2k) machine (R 2.1.0) and your server is a Debian, ssh shell only set up running R 1.8.0? Are there simple guides to ways of not having to invoke R each

Hi, Many thanks to those of you who responded to my last post about Schafer's MI packages. I am really pleased to have access to them through R which, I have to say, is an amazing piece of software. I am only sorry that I haven't found it until now. But, to my question. Does anyone know if there is a package developed for evaluating clinical significance using Jacobson and Truax's,

v 2.0.1 (sooooh old!) on Win2k I think I know the answer to this but I can hope ... I have data for continuous variables (measures of residents) by a categorical variable in range (1,22), the units in which they live. I want to plot these data with a pair of boxplots one above another with same x-axis (1,22) using par(mfrow=c(2,1)) and then plotting first for the women then for the men.

Dear list, I was wondering if there is a function to plot league tables, sometimes also known as "caterpillar plots"? A league table is conceptually very similar to a box plot. One difference is that the inter-quartile ranges are not shown. If there isn't such a function a first attempt for a "selfmade" plot would be to tell boxplot not to plot boxes (sounds silly

Hello again, First, thanks for the help that got the latest plotrix package finished. I had been planning to write something about packages since Scott Waichler offered the gantt.chart function. Then Ben Bolker (who helped me to write the axis.break function) asked if I would be willing to include some of his plotting functions and almost immediately after that Sander Oom kindly donated the

I'm sure I'm being stupid so flame away... R2.2.1 on Windoze (boohoo) latest updates of packages. I'm exploring a dataset (land) with three variables looking at an narrowly unbalanced two group (GROUP) ANCOVA of a randomised controlled trial analysing endpoint score (SFQ.LOCF.ENDPOINT) entering the baseline score (SFQ.BASELINE) as covariate and the following work fine: > res.same

Just in case anyone else hits this. I just installed R 11.0 alongside R 10.1.0 (off my D: drive in D:\R\... but I think that's irrelevent) and all went well, I selected my nearest CRAN mirror (Bristol is the one I like) and getting the selection list seemed to take ages though it did come eventually. However, I then got an error message saying that R couldn't make contact on port 80. I

Dear R gurus, particularly those of generous M$ tolerance and diverse gifts and knowledge! I have an interesting challenge that I will end up crunching in R involving service usage by patients. Maybe I can do all of it in R but I can't see how yet. My situation is that our IT Department can give me loads of XLS files about patients one of our services have seen. The are one per patient

I'm working on Windoze XP and have for some time installed R in D:\R and upgraded my packages after installing the new version of R with a bit of code I think I got from the list: ip <- installed.packages(lib.loc = "d:\\R\\R-2.4.1\\library") ip <- ip[ip[,1]!="base" ,1] install.packages(ip) This time around that's produced some warning grumbles: Warning messages:

Dear sig-R-Debian I'd like to second Christophe Bonenfan's plea for an up-to-date Ubuntu 64 (and maybe an up-to-date Debian 64) repository(ies). There seems to be no "easy" way, at least for Debian 64, to stay up-to-date on a 64 bits Debian-derived system, "easy" meaning being able to keep a consistent system up-to-date with no local package creation and no

I am moving from windoze on a Dell laptop to Debian but I seem to have hit a snag for R. I managed to find the information to point an /etc/apt/sources.list entry at my local CRAN repository and have installed R 2.13.1 for squeeze from the Bristol UK repository. I installed a number of the additional R packages using synaptic which reported no errors but when I run my first

I may be being dopey, I surely am, but I'm baffled by this. I've been working, on and off for a few days in R version 2.13.0 (2011-04-13) i386-pc-mingw32/i386 (32-bit) working it through ESS. I've got a dataframe created a couple of days back, during the session: > dim(AllDat) [1] 27270 94 I came back this morning and misremembered my variables and thought I had a variable

The specific message is: "Warning: package 'spatial' in library '/usr/lib/R/library' will not be updated" and the number of libraries about which that's the complaint is now increasingly almost daily so clearly something is wrong. I'm working on a laptop on which I do the recommended Ubuntu updates daily. I done a standard installation of R 2.15.1 using

I'll take a risk following Uwe's wonderful response to that advert. I'm looking for someone, perhaps particularly a stats student, who might want to do a piece of work with me on using R to present and analyse routine data that psychotherapists might submit on a cgi-bin interface and perhaps cross-referencing that against some largish referential data to which I have access.

Totally understood. If you remain "on vacation" (we wish eh?!) and get further messages like that from the list s'ware, just accept my standing apologies and delete them. Very welcome re letter!

I prefer to use R on a linux box and ultimately need things to end up there to serve things up using David Firth's excellent CGIwithR and apache, but one step at a time and I've installed 1.8.1 under win2k. Another question that I'm sure is simple: is there a simple way to find the list of installed libraries I had in my 1.7.1 installation and use that to drive install.packages?
