Hi I have a plist t which contains size measurements of individual plants, identified by the field "plate". It contains, among other, a field "year" indicating the year in which the individual was measured and the "height". The number of measurements range from 1 to 4 measurements in different years. My problem is that I would need the LAST measurement. I only

Hi Consider the following code > x <- rep(1:13, 13) > y <- 1:3 I want to select all elements in x which are equal to 1, 2 or 3. I know that I could use > sel <- x==y[1] | x==y[2] | x==y[3] > x[sel] to obtain the values, but in my analysis, the y-vector is thousands of elements long. Is there any way, that I can do that easily? Thanks Rainer -- Rainer M. Krug, Dipl.

Hi I just installed the pastecs package and I am wondering: is there an english (or german) translation of the file pastecs.pdf? If not, is there an explanation somewhere of the object of type 'turnpoints' as a result of turnpoints(), especially the "info" field?

Hello everyone, I run R on Gentoo Linux and this week I upgraded R from 2.5.0 to 2.6.0. With the new build, I have stumbled upon an unpleasant problem: I can no longer install packages from CRAN through a transparent proxy. With the previous version, I simply added to /usr/lib/R/etc/Renviron the following line and it functioned like a charm: ## Proxy settings http_proxy="SERVER:3128"

Hi I have a large dataset which follows a multimodal distribution. And I would like to identify the maxima. As the data is obtained from a stochastic simulation, not all maxima in the data are "real maxima of the dirstribution" but rather small random fluctuations. Unfortunately, it is not possible for me to run more simulations to smooth the obtained distribution. What I am doing

Hi I use the following code and it stores the results of density() in the list dr: dens <- function(run) { density( positions$X[positions$run==run], bw=3, cut=-2 ) } dr <- lapply(1:5, dens) but the results are stored in dr[[i]] and not dr[i], i.e. plot(dr[[1]]) works, but plot([1]) doesn't. Is there any way that I can store them in dr[i]? Thanks a lot, Rainer -- Rainer M. Krug,

Hi I created a complex layout with using layout() and it looks exactly as I need it. But I don't want to print in the order in which the subfigure are numbered, but in a different order. How can I navigate in the layout so that I can specify the subfigure in which to plot? At the moment I am using a function which is converting the number to mfg parameter for par, but it does not seem to

Hi I tried to install rkward under ubuntu hardy heron, but it tried to use the one from the cran repository which was newer, but it did not install. To be able to install rkward, I had to disable the cran repository, install rkward, lock it's version and enable the repository again. I have the feeling, that the dependencies are not correct (it is looking for libqt4GUI, but I have a

Hi is there an alternative to par(new), for ading data to a plot for a different y-axis? My problem with par(new=TRUE) is, that it re-defines all axis and labels (as in example 1) and one has to use xlim=... to fix the x-axis. I am looking for something, which simply resets the y-axis, so that a new plot() (or points()/lines()) keeps the x-axis, but re-defines the y-axis. Is there something

Hi I upgraded to R 2.10.0, and I encounter a problem with some packages on R, installed via apt-get.. They are still compiled by 2.9 and give me an warning when I load the packages. Will these packages be recompiled with R 2.10, or should I rather switch to self-compiling? Cheers, Rainer -- Rainer M. Krug, PhD (Conservation Ecology, SUN), MSc (Conservation Biology, UCT), Dipl.

Hi is there an easy and fast way, to generate a BibTeX file of all installed / loaded packages and R? I know about toBibtex(citation()) to extract the BibTeX for a single package, but how can I generate a file containg citations for all installed / loaded packages?

Hi Sorry for crossposting, but I think this can be of interest for GRASS and R users. I am planning to write a package to make the use of GRASS from R easier. The idea is to wrap the system call to execute the GRASS command into an R command of the same name. e.g: r.to.vect <- function(..., intern=TRUE, ignore.stderr=FALSE) { comm <- paste( "r.to.vect ", ...,

Hi I have a table called npl containing results of simulations. It contains about 19000 entries and the structure looks like this: NoPlants sim run year DensPlants 1 6 lng_cs99_renosterbos 1 4 0.00192 . . . it has 43 different entries for sim and year goes from 1 to 100, and run from 1 to 5. I would like to calculate the mean of DensPlants for each

Hi I have problems installing R 2.1.1. from rpm (R-base-2.2.0-1.i586.rpm) on SuSE 10.
