similar to: Male and female symbols?

For several years, I have been using Splus to analyze an ongoing series of datasets that have a bimodal distribution. I have used the following functions, in particular the ms() function, to estimate the parameters: two means, two standard deviations, and one proportion. Here is the code I've been using in S: btmp.bi <- function(vec, p, m1, m2, sd1, sd2) {

In S-Plus, there is a function ms() [minimum sums] that estimates parameters in a multivariate model and returns, along with the estimates, a loglikelihood score. It's very handy, but I have not found an R version yet. Does anyone know if such a thing exists? Thanks. Cheers, George ================================================================== George W.

I am trying to do a series of xyplots plots, using a "for" loop to substitute the appropriate variables for each plot. The basic command works fine by itself and produces a nice plot: > i<-3 > trellis.device(theme="col.whitebg") > xyplot(as.formula(paste(tmp00[2*i], "~ ", tmp00[(2*i)-1], +

I have a very large dataframe and wish to extract a subset of rows. I have a two column matrix listing the starting and ending indices of one subset on each row. My idea is to create a vector of indices that could be applied to the dataframe and I have a solution using a for loop (below). But surely there is some more elegant way to do this! I looked thorough the archives without

In S-Plus, I can obtain polynomial contrasts for an ordered factor with contr.poly(). The function also exists in R, however is limited to factors where the levels are equally spaced. In S-Plus, one can obtain the contrasts for a set of numeric values representing unequally spaced ordered factors. Has anyone implemented this in R? I see that the S-Plus function calls another function (poly.raw())

I need to extract the degrees of freedom and log likelihoods from a series of mixed models computed using lmer/lme4. If I ask for logLik (lmer.object), I get something like > logLik(lmer.object) 'log Lik.' -177.1000 (df=10) Can I easily get that df from there (or elsewhere) into an object? Thank you for any ideas.

I've been experimenting with drop1 for my biostatistics class, to obtain the so-called Type III sums of squares. I am fully aware of the deficiencies of this method, however I feel that the students should be familiar with it. What I find baffling is that when applied to a fully balanced design, you obtain different sums of squares. I've used this for several years in Splus and R and never

My apologies to the list for sending this without adequate research. I have found my answer; please ignore! Thanks.

Hi there The default option for saving graphics from R (1.9.1) on my Mac is as a pdf file. If I open the file in Acrobat reader it looks really good and crisp, and is obviously saved as vector graphics, since I can zoom in as much as I like and it continues to look really nice. If I import it into MS Word (from office 2000), or Textedit, however, it imports it as a bitmap and unless I save

Hello, I'd like to add labels to my plot that include a male or female symbol as subscript. I'm working in Windows Vista and R 3.0.0. I am able to add the male symbol to the plot as regular text (NOT as subscript), e.g. with: mtext("Male\u2642") This displays the word "Male" followed by the male symbol on the plot. But "\u2642" does not work when I try to

I'm trying to learn statistics and R at the same time. I have an undergraduate science degree and one year of calculus (30 years ago), but never took a stats course. I hope to take some stats courses in the next year, but thought I would start to see how much I could teach myself. I work for an organization that analyses behavior change communication programs regarding HIV/AIDS and

Dear R-users, Just like other users (as seen from previous posts on the list), I would like to use female and male signs in plots. I found B. Ripley's post about using Unicode characters. However, it doesn't works for me. > text(locator(1),"\u2640") produces the following error: Error: invalid \uxxxx sequence But I can specify other Unicode characters as long I

I'd like to paste a zodiac sign on a graph, but it only prints it when I add another unicode ( \u3030) to the desired \u2648 - why? See the examplecode (compare the orange with the skyblue): plot(c(-1,1),c(-4,-2),type="n") text(x=0,y=-3.0,labels="\u2648 \u3030",cex=2.3,col="skyblue") text(x=0,y=-3.2,labels="\u2648",cex=2.3,col="orange")

Dear all, I would like to use the biological symbols for male and female as plotting symbols in a scatterplot (ideally filled and non-filled). R does not seem to have these symbols using pch= in plot() nor are they implemented via expression() or at least I did not find them. I found that the symbols are e.g. available in the wasysym and the marvosym package in LaTeX. I have coded two very rough

Hi List, I wanted to know if anyone knew of a way with asterisk to "switch the voice" of a caller from male to female or vice versa. Thanks.

I'm trying to use the biological female and male signs in R2.5.1 under Windows XP. I can access and insert these symbols using word-processors. In general these should be available as \u2640 and \u2642 but I can't make them happen in R using (say) text(5,5, "\u2640") message "invalid \uxxxx sequence" I've replaced Arial with Arial unicode MS in Rdevga and

Hi, I would like to figure out how to determine what the id of the last element in a table is. Is there an equivalent to the Table.find() method which will tell me the number of elements in a table? also, maybe more importantly, where are the available methods on tables documented? What i am trying to do is to increment the id and work through a table and check whether the id i am currently

Hello, I am currently using R to run an external program and then read the results the external program sends to the stdout which are tsv data. When R reads the results in it converts it to to a list of strings which I then have to maniuplate with a whole slew of commands (which, figuring out how to do was a reall challenge for a newbie like myself)--see below. Here's the code I'm
