Hi all, My apologies for a very simple question. I just downloaded R 2.6.0. I want to bring in all of the objects from 2.5.0 that I see when I type ls(). I have no idea how to do that. Thanks in advance.

Greetings, I'm interested in generating data from various bivariate or mulitivariate distributions (e.g. gamma, t, etc), where I can specify the parameter values, including the correlations among the variables. I haven't been able to dig anything up on the faq, but I probably missed something. A nudge in the right direction would be appreciated. David --

Hi, I'm plotting 5 autocorrelation plots on one page. Using par(mfrow=c(3,2)) everything comes out fine. However, for each plot, it prints a title on top of each plot that says Series followed by the variable name used in the plot. I want to suppress those titles, but I also want a general figure title on the bottom of the page. I've looked at the Murrell book as well as the acf

Hi all, I'm moving to a Mac platform and have installed R and all seems fine. My question concerns moving my R objects over. On my pc, which file contains my R objects and once I copy that, where do I copy it within the Mac? I hope that was clear.

Hi all, I have started using LaTeX for writing papers and I have heard that R works well with LaTeX. I'm specifically interested in how I can have LaTeX read in R generated graphics - for example graphs formed by matplot, or other such processes. Does anyone out there use LaTeX and can point me in the right direction? Thanks David --

Hi all, I'm looking for a contributed package that can provide a detailed account of missing data patterns and perhaps also provide imputation procedures, such as mean imputation or hot deck imputation and the like. Is there anything out there? Thanks in advance, David -- =========================================================================== David Kaplan, Ph.D. Professor

Hi all, I'm running the program sem on a Mac, but I'm getting a message that I think is quite general. The error reads Error in scan(file, what, nmax, sep, dec, quote, skip, nlines, na.strings, : scan() expected 'a real', got '10652)' The 10652 is the sample size coming from a .csv file where I have header = TRUE. Any thoughts would be

I can't seem to figure out why I'm getting this error. The output is copied right off the screen. Notice how in some cases the back slash is missing. In other cases, it can't read a file that I know is there. Thanks in advance > library(foreign) > hrout <- read.spss("c:\\hrab200.sav") Error in read.spss("c:\\hrab200.sav") : unable to open file

Hi, I have been searching and can't seem to find a simple command that will allow me to sample from a multivariate normal distribution with known covariance matrix. I am likely missing something.

Hi all, I'm running White's test to correct for non-constant error variance and I am using the Anova function in the package CAR. My command structure is > Anova(scireg3, white.adjust="hc3") where scireg3 is an object from lm. I get the message "Error in SS[i] <- SS.term(names[i]) : nothing to replace with" What does this mean and how do I fix it. Thanks

Hi all, I'm running a vector-time series model with the vars package. When I test the univariate and multivariate normality of the residuals using normality(), I get the results, but also this warning Warning messages: 1: longer object length is not a multiple of shorter object length in: b2 - rep(3, 4) 2: longer object length is not a multiple of shorter object length

Greetings, I've attempted to change the font size directly in Rconsole as well as through the GUI preferences. Neither seems to take even when I save the preference changes. When I make the change through the gui preference, and click "apply" the change is made, but when I save it, close, and reopen, there is no change. Any thouughts? I'm running R.2.40. David --

Hi, this is simple, I've generated a bivariate normal distribution with a known correlation. I want to plot the density function with p(y,x) on the vertical axis and x, and y on the horizontal axes. How is that done? Thanks in advance! library(MASS) mu <- c(0,1) # mean vector sigma <- matrix(c(1,.8,.8,1), ncol=2) tmp <- mvrnorm(1000, mu, sigma) cor(tmp)
