Hi there, This is summary and patch for a bug in read.dbf, demonstrating in Message-Id: <20050818150446.697835cb.stanimura-ngs at umin.ac.jp>. After consulting Rjpwiki, a cyber-community of R user in Japan, the cause was found, and the patch of solution was proposed. Overflowing occurs when we use read.dbf for reading a dbf file having a field of longer signed integer. For example, $

Dear R-users, When rebuilding R-base-1.4.0-1.src.rpm, it stopped and give message as follow: (Some words is Japanese) >>> Building/Updating help pages for package `base' Formats: text example make[5]: ??? ?????? `/home/umusus/rpm/BUILD/R-1.4.0/src/library' running code in `base-Ex.R' ...make[4]: *** [base-Ex.Rout] ??? 1 make[4]: ??? ??????

I use R-1.5.1-1 on VineLinux2.6, which is modified and developed from RedHat7.2. Today I tried version-up R system, but I could not rebuild. Rebuilding R-1.6.2-1.src.rpm failed with the following message. make[5]: Leaving directory `/home/umusus/rpm/BUILD/R-1.6.2/src/library' running code in 'tcltk-Ex.R' ...X11 connection rejected because of wrong authentication. X connection to

After installation of R into VineLinux2.1.5, I started to enjoy statistics following some instruction, and found it very useful. One of my main purpose to use R is to try spatial statistics. Since library named "spatial" has already installed, I just tried ... > library(spatial) > towns <- ppinit(test.dat) ------- test.dat ------- x,y 4,7 5,7 5,8 5,9 6,7 6,8 6,9 7,8

Hi, I've looked at the parameters available for the legend function and cannot find a way to change the distance between the top of the box surrounding a legend and the legend's title. I have a math expression that raises the height of my title. If you don't mind the non-sensical title I give to the legend for this plot (Figure 3.20 in R Graphics): with(iris,

Hello, I am currently trying to show the abundance of two species of zooplankton within the North Sea as pie chart bubble plots. I followed Werner Wernersen's advice in R help (http://finzi.psych.upenn.edu/R/Rhelp02a/archive/48644.html) and used Paul Murrell's paper "Integrating Grid Graphics Output with Base Graphics Output" (in R News) to try and do this (using the gridBase

Hi, Can we attach a more descriptive "label" (I may use the wrong terminology, which would explain why I found nothing on the FAQ) to variable names, and later have an easy way to switch to these labels in plots? I fear this is not possible and one must enter this by hand as ylab and xlab when making plots. Thanks in advance, Denis Chabot

Hey R'rs, So im sick of dealing with ESRI products and am looking to stream line a process i now use GIS to do using R. I have made a lot of maps using R but have not yet seen a map that puts pie charts within the map to help represent data like the attachment. http://r.789695.n4.nabble.com/file/n2318816/template1.bmp I found Tanimura et al. work "Proportional Symbol Mapping in

Hi, I'm wondering why 48 %/% 2 gives 24 but 4.8 %/% 0.2 gives 23... I'm not trying to round up here, but to find out how many times something fits into something else, and the answer should have been the same for both examples, no? On a different topic, I like the behavior of NAs better in R than in SAS (at least they are not considered the smallest value for a variable), but at the

Hi, As part of the legend to a plot, I need to have the "n" in italics because it is a requirement of the journal I aim to publish in: "This study, n = 3293" Presently I have: legend(20, 105, "This study, n = 3293", pch=1, col=rgb(0,0,0,0.5), pt.cex=0.3, cex=0.8, bty="n") I suppose I could leave a blank in place of the "n",

Hi, I am fairly new to GAM and started using package mgcv. I like the fact that optimal smoothing is automatically used (i.e. df are not determined a priori but calculated by the gam procedure). But the mgcv manual warns that p-level for the smooth can be underestimated when df are estimated by the model. Most of the time my p-levels are so small that even doubling them would not result

Hi, Being in the process of translating some of my SAS programs to R, I encountered one difficulty. I have a solution, but it is not elegant (and not pleasant to implement). I have a large dataset with many variables needed to identify the origin of a sample, many to describe sample characteristics, others to describe site characteristics. I want only a (shorter) list of sites and their

Hi, I'd like to compute the weighted mean of some variables, all using the same weight variable, for each combination of 3 factor variables. I found how I could use "summarize" (from Hmisc) to do normal means for combinations of 3 factors, but I cannot find a way of doing weighted means. Is it possible in R? Thanks in advance, Denis Chabot

Hi, This is probably documented, but I cannot find the right words or expression for a search. My attempts failed. I have a data frame of 3 vectors (x, y and z) and would like to transform this so that I could use persp. Presently I have y-level copies of each x level, and a z value for each x-y pair. I need 2 columns giving the possible levels of x and y, and then a transformation of

Dear R wizards: sorry to bug everyone twice in one day. I would like to annotate my graph by putting text strings into rectangle boxes with a little cartoon-like bubble with a lid pointing to a specific location. I can draw some sort of bubble-with-lid using the R primitives. (has anyone done something like this already?) the problem where I am stuck is that the width of the rectangle must

Hi, I have data on stomach contents. Possible prey species are in the hundreds, so a list of prey codes has been in used in many labs doing this kind of work. When comes time to do analyses on these data one often wants to regroup prey in broader categories, especially for rare prey. In SAS you can nest a large number of "if-else", or do this more cleanly with "select"

Hello, I am using the bubble plot and have been able to overlay two different data sets on the same graphic successfully. I would like to do the following and cannot: 1) suppress the zero values such that there is no representation of them on my plot (i.e., the "zeroes" show up as the smallest dot size, and I can't change this) 2) Give values to y or x axes with values, and

Hi, Is there a way, preferably with R, to read shapefiles and transform them in a format that I could then use with package PBSmapping? I have been able to read such files into R with maptools' read.shape and plot it with plot.Map, but I'd like to bring the data to PBSmapping and plot from there. I also looked at the package shapefile, but it does not seem to do what I want

Hi, I'm having some problems with a bubble plot (ps package). I don't want tick marks on all four sides (just two), I want to have a smaller font size, and I would like to be able to define bubble sizes shown in the legend (now it shows 0, 0, 0, 9.747 and 4265.757 which is not really convenient. Passing some of the standard plot arguments didn't help (in fact, nothing changed).

Hi all. I have been trying to plot 9 bubble plots on each page of a PDF file. For this, I'm using : par(mfcol = c(3,3), mar = c(3,3,3,3), oma = c(0,0,0,0)); However, when plotting the bubble plot (gstats package), it plots the graph on a full page. I tried to plot something else with plot(x,y) and it works as intended. So I'm guessing the problem comes from the bubble plot itself.
