Hi there, I've hit a bump in writing postscript files with special characters in the WinAnsi encoding on a windows machine. Here's some sample code: ########################################### postscript(file = "test.eps", encoding="WinAnsi.enc", width = 3, height = 5.5, onefile = TRUE, horizontal=FALSE, family = "sans", title =

Hi there, I'm sure there's an easy answer to this, and I can't wait to see it. The question: is there an easy way to sort a data frame by it's row names? My dilemma: I've had to pull apart a data frame, run it through a loop to do some calculations and generate new variables, and then re-construct the chunks back into a data frame at the end. Doing this preserves the row

Hi there, Does anyone know how to extract elements from the table returned by Manova()? Using the univariate equivalent, Anova(), it's easy: a.an<-Anova(lm(y~x1*x2)) a.an$F This will return a vector of the F-values in order of the terms of the model. However, a similar application using Manova(): m.an<-Manova(lm(Y~x1~x2)) m.an$F Returns NULL. So does any attempt at calling the

Hi all, Does anyone have any tips for extracting chunks of data from a distance matrix? For instance, if one was interested in only a subset of distance comparisons (i.e., that of rows 4 thru 6, and no others), is there a simple way to pull that data out? >From some playing around with an example (below), I've been able to figure out that a distance matrix in R is stored as a single

I have a command that reads in some data: x <- read.csv("Sales2007.dat", header=TRUE) Then I try to organize the data: sc <- split(x, list(x$Category, x$SubCategory), drop=TRUE) Then I want to iterate through the data. I was able to get the following to run on the R console: for(i in 1:length(sc)) { sum(sc[[i]]$Quantity) } But notiing is primted on the console. I find

Dear R users, I have a txt file of the form 10092007 24.62 24.31 24.90 11092007 19.20 23.17 22.10 13092007 24.71 27.33 23.10 14092007 27.33 27.90 24.10 15092007 28.22 28.55 24.30 16092007 28.53 29.24 27.40 17092007 24.19 30.64 26.80 18092007 22.60 20.62 28.40 19092007 8.89 1.70 14.70 20092007 21.27 2.92 17.30 21092007 22.38 24.72 8.80 22092007 23.94 24.73 20.40 23092007 25.33 25.12 22.60

Hi, there I am trying to replicate an error message in subset() to see what it is that I'm doing wrong with the datasets I am trying to work with. Essentially, I am trying to pass a string vector to subset() in order to select a specific collection of cases (i.e., I have data for these cases in one table, and want to select data from another table that match up with the cases in the

Hi, there I'm currently trying to figure out how to keep my "factor" levels for a variable when moving it from one data frame or matrix to another. Example below: vec1<-(rep("10",5)) vec2<-(rep("30",5)) vec3<-(rep("80",5)) vecs<-c(vec1, vec2, vec3) resp<-rnorm(2,15) dat<-as.data.frame(cbind(resp, vecs))

Hi, there I tried this post on R-help but did not generate any replies, so I thought I might try the waters here since it's a more programming-based group. I have written a function that will allow me to calculate the variance components for a model II (random effects) single factor ANOVA (perhaps this is me re-inventing the wheel, but I handn't yet come across anything in R that does

Hi, there I am a grad student struggling to get my syntax right in a model I am building in R. I am trying to specify a variable,W, in a loop, such that on the first iteration, it is equal to Wo, my starting value, which I have already specified with Wo<-9.2 On any other iteration other than the first, I want W to equal the previous value of W in the iteration. plus an increment from

Hi there, I just wanted to take a quick second to thank everyone who maintains this service- just in case you don't hear it enough, there are a plethora of people who rely on this service (as evidenced by the help archives), and even if they don't say it, are greatly thankful for what you do here. Not only are you providing a service to people who are learning R, but indeed helping

Hi there I thought this would be of particular interest to people using 'optim' functions and perhaps people involved with R development. I've been beaten down by R trying to get it to perform an optimization on a mass-balance model. I've written the same program in excel, and using the 'solver' function, it comes up with an answer for my variables (p, ACT, which

Dear list Has anyone got a recipie at hand to import .bil files into R? From what I understand the .bil files I got contain layered matricies which I would lke to make available in R as an array or list. GIS people seem to be familiar with the .bil format but I am not using any GIS software and would prefer to deal with the data in R. I use the latest version of R on Mac OSX 10.5.8.

Hi, Does anyone have the formula for getting logged into LinkedIn? Here''s my current attempt: require ''rubygems'' require ''mechanize'' agent = WWW::Mechanize.new home_page = agent.get(''http://www.linkedin.com'') signin_page = agent.click home_page.links.text(''Sign in'') puts "\nSIGNIN PAGE"

Hi, there I first sent this e-mail a couple months ago, to no avail.Since I am not a member on your mailing list, so could you please cc: a response to me? I'll be sure to check the list today for replies. I am currently attempting to perform an ANOVA with both nested and normal factors. My problem is that R is treating my nested factors the exact same way as it would interaction terms.

Hi there I am having trouble figuring out how to get an nlm function to report estimates for two parameter values in an estimation. The way I've got it goes something like this: f <- function (q, r) { here, I have a second loop which uses q, r to give me values for c, d below. a and b are already specified; this loop is a mass-balance function where I am trying to find values of q,

Hi, So Lennon got me going with my database-less Camping app, but I''ve just realized that, I have no deployment strategy. This app is to provide a GUI front end to our FUN3D fluid flow simulation monster, which is used by ourselves, companies, universities, hobbyists, and the military. The end result of which, is a file of (key, value) pairs read by FUN3D. Requiring our users to have

Hi, all I have a rather un-ideal dataset that I am trying to work with, and would appreciate any advice you have on the matter. I have 4 years worth of data taken at 3 depth-zones from which samples have been taken at random. I am looking at the abundance of organism A between depth zones and across years, and am interested in the possible interaction of organism A distributions shifting

Hi, I''ve previously described one of my wish list items, http://kleb.tadalist.com/lists/public/427170 in http://blade.nagaokaut.ac.jp/cgi-bin/scat.rb/ruby/ruby-talk/217068 where I basically take a hash of hashes and create a set of tabbed dialogs for each key of the large hash where each tab has a form to set each key-value pair of the embedded hashes. Toward this end I looked

Please forgive me if this has been answered in another post. I''ve looked around but couldn''t find a solution. I bought the book "Agile Web Development with Rails" and think I''m going to really like it. I went through the first chapter with no problems. However, as I begin developing the database on page 57, I get a consitent error: Before updating scaffolding
