something like "sprintf" in C? so I can do: print(sprintf("the correct result is %3.4f\n", myresult)); ------- Also, I am desperately looking for a "clear console screen" function in R... thanks a lot! [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Is there a function in R for doing Greenhouse-Geiser correction in ANOVA models? Is it already available in the aov function? How do we use it? Best, Darren [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Hello. Some months age an e-mail was posted in which a comparison between Glimmix and glm was discussed. I have not been able to find that e-mail on the R archive. Does anyone recall the date of the above e-mail?

Hi to all, I found in the R-help archive how to calculate the p-value for a gee result: http://finzi.psych.upenn.edu/R/Rhelp02a/archive/74150.html but there are two questions (I am afraid they are basic questions ...) 1. why is the result multiplicated with 2 2. how could I decide between lower.tail =TRUE and FALSE: example:

Hi all I have a question regarding differences in the way gregpexr works in R 2.3.0 and R 2.4.0. In R 2.3.0, this is what happens: > gregexpr(" [a-z] [a-z] ", " a b c d e f ", perl=T) [[1]] [1] 1 3 5 7 9 attr(,"match.length") [1] 5 5 5 5 5 ... while in R 2.4.0, this is what happens: > gregexpr(" [a-z] [a-z] ", " a b c d e f ", perl=T)

Hello- It has been several years since anyone has asked, so i am asking again- has anyone created a routine to estimate confidence intervals for predictions from nls models (ala Bates and Watts 1988)? Thanks - Alice Shelly [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Greetings R Users! I have a data set of count responses for which I have made repeated observations on the experimental units (stream reaches) over two air photo dates, hence the mixed effect. I have been using Dr. Jim Lindsey's GLMM function found in his "repeated" measures package with the "poisson" family. My problem though is that I don't think the poisson

Inspired by the functions that Barry Rawlingson and Dave Forrest posted for searching Rwiki and R-help archive, I've made up a function that does the search on Prof. Baron's site (Thanks to Prof. Baron's help on setting up the query string!): RSiteSearch <- function(string, restrict="Rhelp", format="long", sortby="score",

Hello: Could anyone point me to a nice example where someone has created methods for "[" on a user defined Class? I looked at the package Matrix but that was a little daunting. I'm looking for someone a little more introductory. I've tried to search the help section and the web but its difficult since "[" isn't searchable. Thanks in advance! Greg [[alternative

Dear helpers, does anyone know a function to fit a model with: - y mean that is regressed on a set of explanatory variables - y variace behaving as a garch or as a garch in mean Thank you so much for your help, Carlo

Hello useRs and helpRs, Some time ago, in a gallaxy far away (here is the thread : http://finzi.psych.upenn.edu/R/Rhelp02a/archive/46532.html ) we discussed about a graph gallery showing the power of R in that domain. I did some work around that, and there is a (pretty advanced) draft here : http://addictedtor.free.fr/graphiques/displayGallery.php For instance, there are some of my graphs,

Dear R users, Consider the following example function: f = function(a,b) { g = function(x) a*x + b h = function(x) g(x)^2 + x^2 opt = optimize(h,lower = -1, upper = 1) x.min = opt$minimum h.xmin = opt$objective g.xmin = g(x.min) return(c(x.min, h.xmin, g.xmin)) } In my real problem the function that plays the role of "g" is costly to compute. Now, to

Hi all, Is it possoble to include an R function in a Perl program? I would like to use the "limma" library for microarray analysis, and have no clue how this can be done. Thanks in Advance -Tarun

This below is not solvable with uniroot to find "a": fn=function(a){ b=(0.7/a)-a (1/(a+b+1))-0.0025 } uniroot(fn,c(-500,500)) gives "Error in uniroot(fn, c(-500, 500)) : f() values at end points not of opposite sign" I read R-help posts and someone wrote a function: http://finzi.psych.upenn.edu/R/Rhelp02a/archive/92407.html but it is not very precise. Is there any

Suppose I have the following data: y x id 44 0 104 48 58 104 48 55 204 47 105 204 41 275 206 18 67 209 ....... I fit the model >fit=lme(y~x+I(x^2),random=~1|id) Now I want to make a prediction plot: >time=seq(0,300,len=100) >plot(predict(fit,data.frame(x=time),level=0)) Very fine. It gives me the prediction curve based on the model. My further request is to make a confidence bands

hie all i am trying to carry out a categorical data analysis but my problem is that when in i use the chi squared test some of my expected values are less than 5. is there a test that can handle this situation. the data is not a 2*2 table. its more from the social sciences where you have from strongly agree to strongly disagree. i know i can collapse vthe tables but there is a loss of

I would like to add points to a wireframe but with a conditioning variable. I found a solution for this without a conditioning variable here, http://finzi.psych.upenn.edu/R/Rhelp02a/archive/65321.html. Does anyone know how to plot a wireframe conditioned on a variable and add the points conditioned on the same variable, similar to the solution at the link above?

Hello R-Group I found how to fill the data.frame -> http://finzi.psych.upenn.edu/R/Rhelp02a/archive/70843.html N1 <- rnorm(4) N2 <- rnorm(4) N3 <- rnorm(4) N4 <- rnorm(4) X1 <- LETTERS[1:4] ################### nams <- c(paste("N", 1:4, sep = ""), "X1") dat <- data.frame(lapply(nams, get)) names(dat) <- nams dat But I need also to create

Hi, I was wondering if there is a way to stop R looking outside the scope of a function, if it can't find the variable inside the function. I seem to waste hours debugging functions only to find I've used a wrong variable name somewhere, but the function still works because the variable exists higher up the hierachy. It seems it would be easier to debug if the function just went

The CRAN host in Tampa, FL (cran.hostingzero.net) isn't responding, and hasn't responded in quite a while -- at least problems were reported more than a year ago (Oct 2007) http://finzi.psych.upenn.edu/R/Rhelp02a/archive/116706.html although someone apparently succeeded in July 2008 http://finzi.psych.upenn.edu/R/Rhelp02a/archive/137451.html Perhaps it's just flaky, and not
