Dear r-list folks, I have a problem which has been bugging me for a while now and I was hoping someone out there might be able to help. If I have a user-defined function with an indeterminate number of arguments, using the well-known "..." construct, how can I get the function to return the names of the items which were the arguments of the function as part of the function's

Dear All, Say you want to plot, on the same figure two quantities, concentration and temperature, both as function of the same variable. I'd like to be able to put a certain label and scale on the y axis on the left of the figure (referring to the temperature) and another label and scale for the concentration on the right. Any suggestion about what to do? I am sure it is trivial, but I could

Dear list, I read in ?plotmath that I can use bgroup to draw scalable delimiters such as [ ] and ( ). The same technique fails with < > however, and I cannot find a workaround, grid.text(expression(bgroup("<",atop(x,y),">"))) Error in bgroup("<", atop(x, y), ">") : invalid group delimiter Regards, baptiste sessionInfo() R version

I have been trying to use the rbeta() function to generate random beta variates with a particular mean and standard deviaiton for some simulation problems I am working on, however I am unsure of the relationship between the parameters shape1 and shape2 and the mean and standard deviation of the beta distribution. I am guessing that there is a formula for this, but I am unsure what it is. Can

I thought that the function eigen(A) will return a matrix with eigenvectors that are independent of each other (thus forming a base and the matrix being invertible). This seems not to be the case in the following example A=matrix(c(1,2,0,1),nrow=2,byrow=T) eigen(A) ->ev solve(ev$vectors) note that I try to get the upper triangular form with eigenvalues on the diagonal and (possibly) 1 just

Hi All, I'm trying to get following but not successfully: # this works okay ylab=expression("PM2.5 Concentration ("*mu*g/m^3*")") # But I need "2.5" as a subscript to PM and below this an additional line saying some text, like. ylab=expression("PM[2.5] Concentration ("*mu*g/m^3*")"\n(random text in brackets)) Square brackets doesn't

Dear R-users I intend to create a function which calls some smaller other functions in return. Some of these smaller functions all call some functions. I do not know a good way to do this. I tried using the source() function to include the smaller functions within the main functions before they are called. This does not work, or maybe i am not doing the right thing. For example: the

I'm not seeing how to plot the quantities associated with two values of a factor by reading the ?xyplot help page and Deepayan's book. Perhaps I need to generate many different subsets from the data frame, but that would require _many_ new data frames. The structure of the data frame (for a single stream) has sites (factor), a date (as.Date), parameters (factor), and quantities

I'm a programmer, not a mathmatician. I heard about R, and I'm wondering if anyone can tell me if there is an existing R function that can help with a problem we're currently trying to find an algorithm for. If R is not the answer, but you can recommend a known algorithm, that would help a lot! I'm on a project in a retail corporation, working on a program to assist retail buyers

I have searched the archives and instructions high and low but have not found what I need. I have a dataframe named Data with columns: AdjResND0 - the numeric result Parameter - the classification (chemical name) Sort - the order I want the chemical names to appear, with leading zeros so all are the same length Client.Name - the sample name I am trying to generate a series of 1 page barcharts,

Apologies in advance for the basic nature of my question. I've never worked with time series, but I am, at present, dealing with evolution in time of certain scalar quantities. By looking at the plots, scalar quantity vs time, for several of these quantities, I am observing a correlation of "events" happening at specific, non-regularly spaced instants of time. The fact of observing

I have looked at examples for this. I found a similar example in the Agile Web Dev... book but that didn''t help. Here''s what i am trying to do. A Cart has many line items. On the Display Cart page, I want to provide the user the option to update quantities. Here''s the rhtml code: <%= start_form_tag :action => ''update_cart'' %>

I buy flowers at a local market on a fairly regular basis. The flower vendors post their prices and if I want to buy only one or two flowers I will generally get the posted price. From time to time I want to buy large quantities of flowers, and sometimes a vendor will give me a better price than their posted price for the bulk order, but more often I have to offer them a higher price than the

FAQ 7.31 strikes again. This is expected: you cannot do exact arithmetic on a binary computer if some of the quantities involved are not binary fractions (e.g. 1.3) See also the warning in ?`==`: identical() is equally inappropiate for computed numerical quantities.

Back in 2005 I had been doing most of my work in Mathcad for over 10 years. For a number of reasons I decided to switch over to R. After much effort and help from you folks I am finally "thinking" in R rather than thinking in Mathcad and trying to translating to R. Anyway, the only task I still use Mathcad for is calculations that involve physical quantities and units. For example, in

 Dear Madame or Sir,I am having a problem in combining density-smoothed scatterplot matrices with a plot of kernel destiny estimations of each dimension plotted on the respective field of the diagonal.I have tried following approach using the package "sm" for the kernel density estimation, as well as "MASS" respectively:pairs(myTable[, 1:4],panel=function(x,y, ...){

This is a followup to a recent post on using atop() to obtain multiline expressions. My reading of the plotmath docs makes it clear that issuing (in base graphics) the specification par(cex = 2) doubles symbols and regular text in subsequent plotmath expressions. However, it is unclear to me what specifying cex _within_ the annotation function using plotmath should do, and the following seems

(I have checked the 2000 &2001 archives) Awhile ago, someone posted a function to plot a scatterplot matrix with the upper triangle containing plots (and maybe fitted curves?) and the lower triangle containing the correlation coefs. I have lost that code and would love it again if anyone has it. Thanks, Henry ***************************** Martin Henry H. Stevens HStevens at muohio.edu tel:
