Dear list, My apologies if a solution / explanation to this already exists on the list, but it is difficult to assign it to a certain keyword. test<-c(1:3) testfct <- function(x) {test[1]<-100} test [1] 1 2 3 testfct(1) [1] 1 2 3 Basically, I would like to write data into an external table that the function does not know. Why is this not working / what alternatives exist? Thanks,

hi, this may be trivial, but we can't seem to find anything adequate, (although there is a work around with match() ). We are looking for something along the lines of plot(table1[table1$var2==or("a","b","c","d"),"var1"]) would be handy, with the potential or() function leading to what plot(table1[table1$var2=="a" |

Dear R-list I am (forced) to change from Linux to Mac and am now looking for a new editor for R. I would like one that features a split window (console + editor) as well as syntax highlighting. Can anyone help? Especially the split-window feature does not seem to be easily available in the editors desribed on the R-help site, except Emacs, which I am reluctant to start using. I am on a MacBook Air

hello, has anyone come across the following rather mysterious problem: when pasting large bits of code (100 and more lines) into the R console with the central mouse button (under linux), only part of the code is pasted, and the text interrupts somewhere arbitrarily. It does not happen when smaller bits are pasted subsequently. I use linux suse 9.3 with the latest version of R

Hello A very short question: Using multiple plots with par(mfrow=c(3,3)), how can I get R to indicate one common y- and x-axis label? I tried to use text() in par, but this is then overwritten when I plot the graphs. -- Sebastian Leuzinger Institute of Botany, University of Basel Schönbeinstr. 6 CH-4056 Basel Ph. 0041 (0) 61 267 3511 fax 0041 (0) 61 2673504 email: Sebastian.Leuzinger@unibas.ch

dear list while installing the package rimage, i get the error message checking jpeglib.h usability... no checking jpeglib.h presence... no checking for jpeglib.h... no configure: error: Sorry, can't find jpeglib header ERROR: configuration failed for package 'rimage' although i have installed jpeglib as required. does R not find this library? but why did it find the fftw library

Hello Trying to install the MySQL package, I get the following error. The help archive contains something on this issue but did not help. I work on linux suse 9.3 Configuration error: Could not locate the library "libz" required by MySQL. The library libz however is not on any mirrors I checked. ------------------------------------------------ Sebastian Leuzinger web

hello, is R able to suppress tick labels (not tick marks)? i know there is a way around this with axes=F and then draw new axes, but it would be easier to suppress them in the first place. -- ------------------------------------------------ Sebastian Leuzinger Institute of Botany, University of Basel Sch??nbeinstr. 6 CH-4056 Basel ph 0041 (0) 61 2673511 fax 0041 (0) 61 2673504 email

Hi I run suse linux 9.1 and I installed MySQL server, client, devel, bench. DBI is installed, when I try to install RMySQL I get an error saying, that libz is missing. (paths to libs were set:export PKG_CPPFLAGS="-I/usr/include/mysql/" export PKG_LIBS="-L/usr/lib/mysql/ -lmysqlclient") so my question: where do I get the libz files (are these mysql files? if yes, why were

it must be terribly simple, can someone quickly help me? test <- data.frame(y=c(1:10), x=as.factor(c(rep("a",5),rep("b",5)))) how can i change the factor labels from "a" and "b" to for example "u" and "v"? i don't succeed with factor() thanks a lot ------------------------------------------------ Sebastian Leuzinger

Hello I use the function .libPaths() > .libPaths() [1] "/usr/local/lib/R/library" > .libPaths(c("/usr/local/lib/myRlib","/usr/local/lib/library")) > .libPaths() [1] "/usr/local/lib/R/library" but it simply does not pick up the new path. Can anybody help? (The problem originates from the inability to install packages into

Dear r-list, I am trying to visually seperate the two main clusters of a dendrogram. The idea is to use: 'edgePar=list(lty=3)' for 'dend1[[1]]' and 'edgePar=list(lty=1)' for 'dend1[[2]]' I have not found a way to solve this. Any suggestions? Patrick hc <- hclust(dist(USArrests), "ave") (dend1 <- as.dendrogram(hc)) par(mfrow=c(2,2)) plot(dend1)

Dear list Has anyone got a recipie at hand to import .bil files into R? From what I understand the .bil files I got contain layered matricies which I would lke to make available in R as an array or list. GIS people seem to be familiar with the .bil format but I am not using any GIS software and would prefer to deal with the data in R. I use the latest version of R on Mac OSX 10.5.8.

Hi, I have spatial data for plants that I would like to plot according to its radius using sysmbols(). Also I would like to color the circles according to an individual's age using heat.colors(17) [ages within the whole data set range from 0:16]. I have not found an easy way to assign ages (=a) a specific heat.color. Any suggestions? Thanks, Patrick x <- c(1,3,4,6,7,3,2,8,3,6,5,5) y

Dear R-helpers, I try to perform glm's with negative binomial distributed data. So I use the MASS library and the commands: model_1 = glm.nb(response ~ y1 + y2 + ...+ yi, data = data.frame) and predict(model_1, newdata = data.frame) So far, I think everything should be ok. But when I want to perform a glm with a subset of the data, I run into an error message as soon as I want to predict

Dear list after quite a bit of research in the archive, I gave up. This seems to be a simple problem: I would like to aggregate a (3-dimensional) array, either by another array, or by a vector, indicating the dimension which should be aggregated. I don't think I have to provide an example, it's really the 3-dimensional equivalent for the standard aggregate command. I am sure

Dear all I imported a Stata .dta file with the read.dta-function from the foreign-package. The dataframe's dimensions are > dim(d.apc) [1] 15806 1300 Importing needs up to 15 min and calculations with these data are rather slow (although I subset the data before starting analyses). My questions are: 1. Has someone experiences importing Stata files (alternatives to read.dta) ? 2.

Dear R-list member, I'm using the function pmnorm() (-->library(mnormt)) within a for-loop. Certain parameter values leads to an error message: "(In sqrt(diag(S)) : NaNs produced, In sqrt(1/diag(V)) : NaNs produced, In cov2cor(S) : diag(.) had 0 or NA entries; non-finite result is doubtful)" obviously because "NaNs" were produced. Is it possible to tell R that it

Hi everyone I have the following problem: My dataframe has 3 variables: ID, Year and and an outcome variable. The dataframe contains repeated measurements because the subjects filled out a questionnaire every year. The time span covers 2 years. Now I want to check if there is a significant change in the outcome over the 2 years with a paired wilcox.test. The problem: Not every subject

Dear all, I hope this is the right mailing list for my question -- I felt that this was too technical for R-help.
