I have a big contingency table, approximately of size 60*2*500*500, and I need to count the number of cells containing a count of 1 for each of the factors values defining the first dimension. Here is my attempt: tab1<-with(pisa1,table(CNT,GENDER,ISCOF,ISCOM)) tab2<-apply(tab1,1:4,function(x)ifelse(sum(x)==1,1,0)) tab3<-apply(tab2,1,sum) Computing tab2 is very slow. Is there a faster

I have problems with Rpad and R 2.10.0 (Windows XP and Windows 7, browser is Firefox) Just starting Rpad by library(Rpad) Rpad() opens the browser and displays the .html files and the .Rpad files in my home directory, but these files do not have links and are not clickable. Doing the same in R 2.9.2 gives clickable links in the browser. Furthermore, in both cases an empty graphics window

Is there code for bivariate kernel density estimation? For bivariate kernels there is kde2d in MASS kde2d.g in GRASS KernSur in GenKern (list probably incomplete) but none of them seems to accept a weight parameter (like density does since R 2.2.0) -- Erich Neuwirth, University of Vienna Faculty of Computer Science Computer Supported Didactics Working Group Visit our SunSITE at

Dear R users, I've just posted a similar question about Illustrator. This time I would like to export the results of my statistic tables and my dataframes into Excel files. Up to now I've used write.csv(), but I have to resave every file in .xls in Excel. I would like to know if there is a function or package to export directly into *.xls. I have found xlsReadWrite which would be

My configuration is Windows XP, R-2.5.1patched. My standard browser in Windows is Firefox 2.0.6, and I am using htmlhelp. I have problems with starting the browser for displaying help. help("lm") works as it should when Firefox is already running. When I do help("lm") and the browser is not yet started, I get Error in shell.exec(url) :

Hi all I was wondering whether there has ever been an update on the rownames and colnames behaviour as described by Eric below? I still get the same behaviour, exactly as described by Eric, on my WinXP installation of R-2.3.0. I also posted a message to r-help on Friday but looking through the online archives it seems to have not made it to the list. I would agree with Eric that a consistent

I just uninstalled R 2.7.2 on Windows XP after having installed R 2.8.0 The uninstaller removed the String values HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\R-core\R\Current Version HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\R-core\R\InstallPath despite the fact that they pointed to R 2.8.0 The uninstaller did not remove the key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\R-core\R\2.7.2 (and all the values in that key) I think the

Hello, I am very new to R and data analysis in general. I am trying to generate values to append to my data frame using conditional statements. I am playing with this simple example: a <- c(1:4) b <- c("meep", "foo", "meep", "foo") d <- cbind(a, b) now what I want to do is , each time there is a "meep" in column 2 of d, print

A common process when data is obtained in an Excel spreadsheet is to save the spreadsheet as a .csv file then read it into R. Experienced users might have learned to be wary of dates (as I have) but possibly have not experienced what just happened to me. I thought I might just share it with r-help as a cautionary tale. I received an Excel file giving patient details. Each patient had an ID

I do not know if this has been reported already (I searched the headers of the recent messages to r-devel) It seems that 'example' in R 2.11.0 has a problem when the help file does not contain any example. This is what happens on R 2.11.0 on Windows XP. > library(tools) > example(Rdiff) Error in file(con, "r") : cannot open the connection In addition: Warning message: In

I have searched the archives and I did not find the answer to my question. Is there a way to read in a .odf spreadsheet without modification to a .csv file. I am analyzing my classes scores on their first exam, and would like to read the grade book in without converting it to .csv. thanks -- Stephen Sefick Let's not spend our time and resources thinking about things that are so little or

hist(rbinom(1000,10,0.5),col=2,xlim=c(0,10),ylim=c(0,300)) gives a histogram with "touching bars" hist(rbinom(100000,10,0.5),col=2,xlim=c(0,10),ylim=c(0,30000)) gives a histogram with space between the bars. is there a way to control the space betweent he bars easily? -- Erich Neuwirth, Computer Supported Didactics Working Group Visit our SunSITE at http://sunsite.univie.ac.at

In the windows version (RGui), is there a way to set the text displayed in the titlebar of the R window?

typeof applied to a factor always seems to return "integer", independently of the type of the levels. This has a strange side effect. When a variable is "imported" into a data frame, its type changes. character variables automatically are converted to factors when imported into data frames. Here is an example: > v1<-1:3 >

Dear all, does anyone know if it is possible to connect a Windows RExcel instance to a linux R instance? Within Rexcel, I find the option "Remote Server Address", but I wonder what the installation procedure on my linux (ubuntu) R looks like (if possible at all)? Thanks Philipp
