I am working with transition matrices of sequences of animal behaviours. What I would like to do is parse the original matrices, adjusting row/column order so that the matrix has its main values in blocks surrounding the diagonal. This would cause behaviours involved in functional groupings (e.g. grooming, resting, foraging etc) to appear as blocks. This can be done manually by applying

I am having problems with the 'if' syntax. I have an n x 4 matrix, X say. The first two columns hold x, y values and I am attempting to fill the second two columns with the quadrant in which the datapoint (x, y) is and with the heading angle. So I have two problems 1) how to do this elegantly (at which I've failed as I can't seem to vectorize the problem) and 2) how to

I'm trying to use the biological female and male signs in R2.5.1 under Windows XP. I can access and insert these symbols using word-processors. In general these should be available as \u2640 and \u2642 but I can't make them happen in R using (say) text(5,5, "\u2640") message "invalid \uxxxx sequence" I've replaced Arial with Arial unicode MS in Rdevga and

Hello, I have 4 data frames, say A, B, C, D. Each A, B, C has different columns set, and D has all of what A, B, and C have. So, here is the example: A has c1, c2, and c3 B has c4 and c5 C has c1, c5, and c6 D has c1, c2, c3, c4, c5, and c6. I want to load these data frames into an Oracle SQL server. I am using RODBC with sqlSave, and managed to load D. But when I tried to load the other data

Hi, I'd like to plot vertical lines on my plot using the locator.But since locator returns two values I end up getting 2 vertical lines for every click.Is there some way only the x coordinate from locator can be returned? -- Rajesh.J ------------------------------------------------------------ "I skate to where the puck is going to be, not where it has been." - Wayne Gretzky

I have an exercise. With 3 kinds of yohourt a,b,c. There are 25 participatients estimate 3 norms: taste (va,vb,vc), structure (ca,cb,cc) and price (ga,gb,gc) and give the mark from 1 to 5. I don't know how to PCA this data. Please help me! I attached the data file follow: Va Vb Vc Ca Cb Cc Ga Gb Gc 4 2 4 5 5 5 4 4 2 2 2 4 3 2 5 4 5 1 2 2 1 2 3 3 3 1 4 1 1 2 2 3 3 4 3 2 3 4 4 4 3 1 2 1 2 1 1 1

Dear R-users, Is there any function in R that works similarly like solver in Excel. I have a set of daily rainfall data and I would like to estimate alpha and beta for the gamma function. Here is my daily rainfall data: [1] 0.2 1.2 0.0 0.0 0.0 0.0 0.0 0.6 0.0 0.0 0.0 0.0 0.0 0.0 0.0 0.0 4.8 1.6 0.0 1.8 1.8 0.0 2.6 [24] 33.0 19.0 0.0 0.0 0.6 0.0 0.0 6.8 0.2 0.0

Hi , I am having serious trouble doing this homework. I am using R for doing the homework. I am having the following specific problem: a) when I input the data using the command > Wbdc <-read.table("wdbc.txt")? I do not see the data. b) When I want to run histogram using command > hist(area) I get an error message, Error in hist(area) : object "area" not found. ? I am

Not an R question directly, but has anyone got a method for placing a moderately large number of (near) equi-spaced points on a sphere? I have a nasty feeling platonic solids are needed for exact solutions and I'm thinking of samplings involving around 200 - 1000 regularly-spaced points, Thanks, Richard Rowe Richard Rowe Senior Lecturer Department of Zoology and Tropical Ecology, James

I am attempting to plot frequency of occurrence against (calendar) time. As the output is to be produced as a Powerpoint picture on a dark background I wish to make the plot output yellow > par(col="yellow", col.axis="yellow", col.lab="yellow", col.main="yellow") > plot(t2, t1, ylim=c(0,40), main="Episynlestes run 2",

I would like to create a 3d scatterplot that is interactive in the sense that I can spin it on its axes to better visualize some PCA results I have. What are the options in R? I've looked at RGL and perhaps it will suffice but it wasn't apparent from the documentation I found. Any demo scripts available for a package that will work? Mark -- Mark W.

I think this was asked recently but I can't find the item. Is it possible to find the colour at a point on a graphics page? I want to estimate the area of a complex shape by colouring it then random sampling from an enclosing box ...

Hi, I used RODBC to import data from an Excel spreadsheet "*.xls", but some columns were returned as zeros. When I looked at these columns in Excel, I found that thery are results of formula calculations and not entry. My question is: Is there any parameter or command I need to use in order to overcome this problem? Thank you Ahmad Abu Hammour

Dear R-Developers and -Community, after compiling and installing R 1.2.2., I started 'demo(graphics)' for a test, and got: 'Error in rnorm(0): .Random.seed(0) is not a Normal type' Obviously .Random.seed was not initialized appropriately. Following the the documentation for '.Random.seed' [see below 'Examples'], this can be fixed rm(.Random.seed);

Dear R users, Sorry if this has been discussed before. I was recently looking at the MySQL site and saw that they offer various levels of paid support. The support options range from basic email support (USD200) through to extensive telephone support from the development team (USD10000). These are annual prices. This is something I would be happy to see available with R (maybe it is?). My

Hi, Thanks for showing me how to use RODBC and odbcConnect. Now works nicely. The question I've got now is: noms <- list.files(pattern=".DBF") # removing extension names: noms <- sapply(noms, function(x) as.character(strsplit(x,".DBF")) , USE.NAMES=F) for (i in 1:length(noms)) { s <- sqlFetch(bdades, noms[i]) # etc. } But it seems that sqlFetch()

Dear People, I have a data set of data x from a probability distribution, and I have a function, mydensity, of the pdf of that distribution. I'm asking for help in superimposing the histogram of x and the plot of mydensity. In the function below, I call truehist and curve, but these are plotted in different figures. I'd like them to be plotted on the same figure, and to use common

I would like to do some fairly basic stem-and-leaf displays in R. I am aware (I might even say painfully aware) of stem(base) and have tried it. That's why I'm hoping someone has a usable stem- and-leaf display for R so that I don't have to write my own. r-project.org > Search > R Site Search > "stem and leaf display" finds nothing. I also tried the mail archive
