Dear R community, I have a dataframe with say 100 different variables. I wish to regress variable 1 separately on every other variable (2-100) in a linear regression using lm. There must be an easy way to do this without loops, but I have difficulties figuring this out... Can you please help? Thank you and best regards, Georg. ***************************************** Georg Ehret Johns Hopkins

Dear R community, I am using densityplot (lattice package) for a large dataset and wish to print it to a jpeg (the pdf is huge). R crashes consistently. Am I doing it wrong or is densityplot incompatible with jpeg? I work on a Mac, R 2.7.0. > require(lattice) > jpeg("test.jpeg") > d[1:10] [1] 0.700218 0.700175 0.700357 0.700847 0.698286 0.701520 0.698158 0.699300 0.698819

Dear R community, I am creating large graphs with hundreds of thousands of datapoints. My usual way for output was pdf, but now I am getting file sizes of >30Mb that do not open well (or at all) in Adobe. Is there a way to reduce the resolution or get rid of overlaying datapoints? Any other idea is also warmly welcome! Thank you and wishing you a good day! Georg. **********************

Dear R community, I am using 6 variables to test for an effect (by linear regression). These 6 variables are strongly correlated among each other and I would like to find out the number of independent test that I perform in this calcuation. For this I calculated a matrix of correlation coefficients between the variables (see below). But to find the rank of the table in R is not the right

Dear R community, I am using a dataset and would like to define new variables using a R variable: e.g. for (i in 1:10){ dataset$i<-something } But this is not the right way, I get only one variable in "dataset"... How can I change this? Thank you! Georg. ************************ Georg Ehret Johns Hopkins Baltimore, MD [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Dear R user group, I wish to plot small pie-charts to specific coordinates in a e.g. scatter-plot: E.g.: > plot(rnorm(100),rnorm(100)) > points(1,1,col="red",cex=4) -> I wish to put pie(c(2,3)) at the position of the red circle... How can I do this efficiently? Thanking you and wishing you a wonderful Sunday! Georg. ************************** Georg Ehret Johns Hopkins

Dear Miss R, I wish to plot three datasets on completely different scales into one single plot. Until now I use a complicated procedure, converting the data of the second and third set into coordinates of the first plot and then adding an extra axis. Is there a way to do this more simply...? Thanking you and wishing you all an excellent Sunday! Cheers, Georg. ************************* Georg

Dear R community, I am plotting a histogram and would wish to display another variable of the same dataset in a very narrow heatmap just below the x-axis. Never mind the specifics of my task: How can I draw a second graph/image just below a first graph/image? Thank you!

Dear R community, I encounter a problem reading data into a dataframe. See attachment for the input. I use: data<-read.table("test",fill=T,row.names=1) When you look at "data" you can see that some lines of my input were broken... I can avoid this problem by sorting the lines by length... Do I have it wrong or is there a bug? Thanks and wishing you a great remainder of

Dear R community, I am trying to apply a simple operation to several dataframes (e.g. nrow) and cannot get the looping to work.

Dear R community, Can I please get some advice on the following: I wish to obtain a list of residuals, padded by NAs for NAs in my source data. I tried several options of "na.action", but did not succeed... Example: I would like to get "0,0,0,0,NA,NA": > a [1] 1 2 3 4 NA 9 > b [1] 3 4 5 6 7 NA > lm(a~b)$residuals 1 2 3 4 0 0 0 0 >

Dear R community, I am using a dataframe with lots of NAs and wish to create subsets from that dataframe. In the example below I intend to create a subset with all entries with V1>1. To my surprise the result also contains all entries with V1=NA. I would wish to learn more why this is or what I do wrong. I know that I can use the command "subset" and the NAs will not appear, but

Dear R community, I have data on beta&standard error (for the main effect of variable x), stratified by sex for my dataset.
