R alternative to SAS PROC REPORT
R has wonderful graphics but I am wondering whether there is anything in R to provide customization of tables like PROC Report does in SAS.

"& not meaningful for factors"
I am trying to define groupings from levels of factor variables and this the warning message that R give "& not meaningful for factors". The nature of my task is this. I have a variable stage which has the levels (1B, 2A, 2B) - these are the AJCC TNM stages of cancer, and another variable diameter with factor levels ("=< 4", "4 - 6.5, > 6.5; limit values are

gsub difficulty

I have a character string containing "." which I want to replace with " " gsub(".", " ", file.label) replaces the every character with a blank. However gsub(".xls", " ", file.label) replaces ".xls" with a blank as expected. It appears

help with my sloppy syntax
R-ians: After some effort I coerced my code to do what I want but my syntax is a kludge. Suggestions on more elegant syntax? par <- NIM.results$par do.call("Draw.NIM.POD.curve", list(par[1], par[2], par[3], par[4], par[5], a.hat.decision, .... et cetera ... It seems that I should be able to avoid defining the variable "par" and then specifying each of its elements,

Which R version created a package?
Greetings, R-ians: I would like to know which version or R was used to create a given package. I think I remember seeing that topic discussed recently but cannot find it among my notes. Can anyone tell me how to determine which version of R created a package? Thanks. Charles Annis, P.E. <mailto:Charles.Annis@StatisticalEngineering.com> Charles.Annis@StatisticalEngineering.com

control L to clear the Rgui screen in Windows
Greetings R-ians: Searching the Searchable Mail Archives I discovered that ctrl L will clear the Rgui screen, which is what I'd like to do from a print (or some similar) statement. Is there a mechanism to use the ctrl L clear-screen sequence in a script, or print statement? Thanks for your counsel. Charles Annis, P.E.

plotting partial deriviatives
Dear R Helpers: I am trying to annotate a plot. The following code snippet works, but it is kind of a kludge since it adds the partial derivative symbols after creating the plotmath frac(). Is there a more elegant way to write a partial derivative? dev.off() plot(NA, xlim=c(-3,3), ylim=c(0,1.6), xlab="", ylab="", tck=-0.015) text(1.6, 1, expression(paste("slope =

trouble with character \u00e2
Greetings R-wizards: For historical reasons I have filenames with the character "?" and have successfully used "\u00e2" in its place, with the hoped-for result on all my on-screen plots. However since R2.7.0 I have trouble with savePlot() when the file name includes that character as it does in this example: savePlot(paste("diagnostic ? vs a ", file.label,

Scripting - sort of
Dear R-ians: I'm running R2.9.2 on a 6 year old Windows XP DELL with 2 Gig RAM and a 3MHz Pentium 4 chip. I've written a package using the User Menus Under Windows commands (winMenuAdd, etc). It works very well. I have 6 test cases and running any one of them requires many selections form the menus and some keyboard entry, and it takes me hours to exercise them all to see

help with R semantics

clear screen?
I?ve been using this routine for several years. I?m sorry, I don?t remember where I got it. It works as it should, viz. it blanks the R console. But it requires package rcom and now that requires rscproxy. cls <- function () { require(rcom) wsh <- comCreateObject("Wscript.Shell") comInvoke(wsh, "SendKeys", "\f") invisible(wsh) } > cls()

programming advice?
Dear R-helpers: I am doing some exploratory programming and am considering a routine that has several other routines defined within it, so that I can avoid a large and messy global re-programming to avoid naming conflicts. My question is this: Because it is interpreted, does R have to re-build these internal routines every time the new routine is called? I'm not overly worried right now

compiled help pages
Greetings: This should be easy but it isn't. I have a home-brew package that works fine, with compiled html help pages, all 150 of them. I want to make a similar package but not from scratch since only a half-dozen routines are changed. So I created a new directory, copied the old package into it and changed the name to newSTUFF. I changed the names of all help pages too, as weill
