similar to: How to change time zones?

Hi, I am using the NLSY79 data (longitudinal data from the Bureau of labour stats in the US). The extractor exctracts this data in a "wide" format and I need to reshape it into a long format. What I am doing right now is to do it in chuncks for each and evry variable that is varying and then I merge the data together. This is taking a long time. my question is: How do I specify that

Dear all, I am trying to evaluate the optimisation behaviour of a function. Originally I have optimised a model with real data and got a set of parameters. Now I am creating simulated data sets based on these estimates. With these simulations I am estimating the parameters again to see how variable the estimation is. To this end I have written a loop which should generate a new simulated data

The manual entry for as.POSIX says this about time zone codes... Usage as.POSIXct(x, tz = "") tz A timezone specification to be used for the conversion... but it fails to mention what these "specifications" are. So far, I have tried... as.POSIX(x, tz="UTC") ... works, gives UTC times as.POSIX(x, tz="UTC") ... works, gives EST times as.POSIX(x,

Dear R-helpers, We marked 6000 leaves from 5 SPECIES - 10 individuals/species - in two different TREATMENTs: a control and a dry-plot from which 50% of incoming precipitation was excluded. We followed those leaves for 42 months and noted the presence and absence at each visit. I then carried out a Cox Harzard model to see differences in leaf mortality between parcels and among species over time:

Now that 1.2 is out, will the issue of randomly dropping audio finally be addressed? Personally, I'm ignoring the stable series until this problem is identified and fixed. I understand that someone is working of revamping OpenAL support in WINE so when will users likely see the fruit of this revamp? This issue of randomly dropping audio with the application then CTD is extremely important.

Hello list, I have a data frame M like: BAC chr pos s1 s2 RP11-80G24 1 77465510 -1 0 RP11-198H14 1 78696291 -1 0 RP11-267M21 1 79681704 -1 0 RP11-89A19 1 80950808 -1 0 RP11-6B16 1 82255496 -1 0 RP11-210E16 1 228801510 0 -1 RP11-155C15 1 230957584 0 -1 RP11-210F8 1

I have been searching for the R manual, unable to solve my problem. Questions 1) How can I put the x axis at the top of the plot? 2) I am plotting data from a CTD. I want to add series sal, obs and fluo at the same plot by using points(sal,deepth) ets. The data have different values so I want to use multiple x axis (4) with different scaling. How can I do that?

R-help, I have the following file I want to import to R (some lines removed) Calibrated CTD data for station:00280001 Calibrated:23/8 2001, Salinity Unsmoothed, Fluorescence Uncalibrated Maximum observed depth: 36 m QUAL has one digit for each of pressure, temp., sal. and fluor. QUAL=1:Uncal., QUAL=2:OK, QUAL=6:Interp., QUAL=9:No data

Sorry to ask such a simple question, but I can't find the answer after extensive searching the docs and the web. How do you remove a component from a list? For example say you have: lst<-c(5,6,7,8,9) How do you remove, for example, the third component in the list? lst[[3]]]<-NULL generates an error: "Error: more elements supplied than there are to replace" Also,

Hello, We currently use qmail with vpopmail for e-mail and are looking to switch from courier-imap to dovecot for IMAP on our RedHat EL 5 systems. Our goal is to use the dovecot RPM supplied by RH (v1.0.7) if at all possible. We can do this if we are able to dynamically load the vpopmail auth module. The wiki (http://wiki.dovecot.org/CompilingSource) notes that this should be possible:

Colleagues, I am analyzing data collected during oceanographic cruises. We have conducted many cruises over the last decade. On each cruise we visit ~50 stations. At each station (termed EventNum)we lower an instrument that measures depth, temperature, salinity and oxygen every few seconds as it is lowered through the water. Data from all EventNums on all cruises are stacked, generating a data

Hi everybody, I have tested CTDB+GFS2+CMAN under Debian. It works good but I do not understand some points. It is possible to run the CTDB defining it under services section in cluster.conf but running it on the second node shuts down the process at the first one. My CTDB configuration implies 2 active-active nodes. Does CTDB care if the node starts with clean_start="0" or

Can anyone think of a way to create a pretty() sequence that excludes zero? Or a way to remove the zero from a sequence after using pretty()?

Sorry. Let me try again then. I am trying to find "significant" predictors" from a list of about 44 independent variables. So I started with all 44 variables and ran drop1(sep22lr, test="Chisq")... and then dropped the highest p value from the run. Then I reran the drop1. Model: MIN_Mstocked ~ ORG_CODE + BECLBL08 + PEM_SScat + SOIL_MST_1 + SOIL_NUTR + cE + cN +

R 1.8.0 on Windows XP Professional. A huge THANK YOU to the R Team for this marvelous software. I am making lattice plots of oceanographic data. The usual layout does not conform to plotting conventions that marine scientists use when depth is the independent variable. Under those conventions, plots are made with the origin at the upper left, depth on the vertical axis (increasing as it

Hi all, This is a question for any of you who use R.app (OS X). Is there any way to resize the quartz plot window from within R? I know that you can resize the window by dragging the corner of the window, and fro the preferences panel. But is there a way to specify the window size from the console? I want to specify the size of the plot window from inside an R function. Also a

Hi all, I'm new to the list here, and I have what I think is a simple question. Using the "circular" package, is there a way to plot the mean and variance on top of a rose diagram or other plot of the data?
