If I have two vectors X<-1:10 Y<-1:5 When I combine them using cbind, the shorter one is repeated and both are made of the same length. Is there a methods that does this without duplicating the shorter one. I want to use this to store the data back to a file. Thanks ../Murli [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

If my sample size is small is there a particular switch option that I need to use with t.test so that it calculates the t ratio correctly? Here is a dummy example? á =0.05 Mean pain reduction for A =27; B =31 and SD are SDA=9 SDB=12 drgA.p<-rnorm(5,27,9); drgB.p<-rnorm(5,31,12) t.test(drgA.p,drgB.p) # what do I need to give as additional parameter here? I can do it manually but

I am trying to calculate coordinate transformations and in the process of debugging my code using debug I found the following Browse[1]> direction[i] [1] -1.570796 Browse[1]> cos(direction[i]) [1] 6.123032e-17 Browse[1]> cos(-1.570796) [1] 3.267949e-07 Browse[1]> direction[i] [1] -1.570796 Browse[1]> cos(direction[i]) [1] 6.123032e-17 Browse[1]> cos(-1.570796) [1] 3.267949e-07

Can I insert an element in an array at a particular position without destroying the already existing element? X<-c(1,2,3,4,5) I want to insert an element between 1 and 2. Thanks ../Murli [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Hi!! I am interesting in computing the radius of an arc that best approximates a curve. Is there an R function that I can use to draw an arc? Nothing useful came up when I searched help.search. Does anyone have any suggestion to do this? Thanks ../Murli

I am trying split a string and use one part of it to label graphs. I am using strsplit for that. While I am able to split it, how do I access the separated parts. > filName<-"chrI_2223" >part<- strsplit(filName,"\\_") > part [[1]] [1] "chrI" "2223" > part[1] [[1]] [1] "chrI" "2223" I looked up the help archive but did

Which is the parameter that is used to decrease the size of ylabs plotted in biplot? I tried playing with cex and cex.lab I am not getting it right pc <- princomp(USArrests) biplot(pc, xlabs = rep("", nrow(USArrests)),ylabs=(colnames(USArrests))) Thanks../Murli [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

I used the multcomp package sometime back for doing multiple comparisons. I see that it has been updated and the methods like simint are no longer supported. When I run the program it prompts to me to use glht. How do I get the lower and upper conf int and the pValues using glht? Does anyone have an example?

Hi!! I am trying to figure out how to use the string kernel "stringdot" in kernlab. k <- function(x,y) { (sum(x*y) +1)*exp(-0.001*sum((x-y)^2)) } class(k) <- "kernel" data(promotergene) ## train svm using custom kernel gene.k <- ksvm(Class~.,data=promotergene,kernel=k,C=10,cross=5) # works fine in this case gene.rbf <-

Hi !! Is there a good tutorial for the R language ? I really find it hard to find methods in R. Thanks and Cheers ../Murli

If I have a calculated t can I get the probability associated with it using an R function by giving it the df and t? I know I can do the whole calculation using t.test() or get the t-distribution using qt(). If t=1.11 and df =9 can I get the probability? Thanks../Murli [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

I am trying to add text at specific location on my graph. I know this can be done in R but I can't recollect. I was trying using locator() to identify the position and use identify() but I can get it to work. Can someone jog my memory? Thanks ../Murli [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

I am running a recursive feature selection wrapper on svm for a large data set. The routine gets progressively slower. I am deleting the objects not required. Is there anything else you advise me look for? I tried running it from the command line but it does not print anything on the screen. I did not specify any output file and was expecting the screen to be the default. Can any one help me

I am trying to generate artificial data for feature selection. Basically trying to generate a total of 1000 features with 100 that are informative and rest are uninformative. Informative.data.class1<-rnorm(100,0.25,1) Uninformative.data.class1<-rnorm(900,0,1) Informative.data.class2<-rnorm(100, -0.25,1) Uninformative.data.class2<-rnorm(900,0,1) The above will give me one set of data

I am trying to sample a subset from a matrix using sample. The size of the matrix is 20X 1532. It works fine with this, but when I transpose the matrix and try to sample it, it returns null. pick.set<-sample(tissue.exp.t,5,replace=FALSE,prob=NULL) Is there something that I am missing here ? Thanks ../Murli

Hi, I am trying to plot the following data so that it can be visually represented well. I tried the dotchart but I felt it was too spread out. Then I tried the barplot which is good enough for me. Is there a way to give the labels for the y-axis as in the dot chart? Also, I feel the grey level is confusing, so is there options for designs within the bars? I cannot use color as the journal wants
