Hi, I can not comprehend the linear fitting results of polynoms. For example, given the following data (representing y = x^2): > x <- 1:3 > y <- c(1, 4, 9) performing a linear fit > f <- lm(y ~ poly(x, 2)) gives weird coefficients: > coefficients(f) (Intercept) poly(x, 2)1 poly(x, 2)2 4.6666667 5.6568542 0.8164966 However the fitted() result makes sense: >

Hi, my client pc hangs on pxelinux before starting to fetch the linux kernel. It hangs after printing the ip information row. No traffic is observed at this point on the network. The pxelinux is transferred to the client through a tftp server and with no problems. What options do I have to proceed from this point and try to find out where the problem is? Thanks, Firas. -- Firas Swidan, PhD

Hi, I have collected a bunch of old PII PCs that I am trying to PXE boot. There NICs are old and so I use etherboot floppy to emulate a native PXE boot. I have configured tftp, dhcpd, pxelinux, and all the other stuff. Everything works fine till pxelinux start booting. Then it stucks after printing the IP row. --------------- pxelinux output ----------------------- PXELINUX 3.10 2005-08-24

Hi, I am experiencing a long delay when using dataframes inside loops and was wordering if this is a bug or not. Example code: > st <- rep(1,100000) > ed <- rep(2,100000) > for(i in 1:length(st)) st[i] <- ed[i] # works fine > df <- data.frame(start=st,end=ed) > for(i in 1:dim(df)[1]) df[i,1] <- df[i,2] #takes for ever R: R 2.0.0 (2004-10-04) OS: Linux, Fedora Core 2

Hi, R is having the following weird behavior and I am not sure if that is a feature or a bug: I am working on the following "3D" array: > bIm , , 1 [,1] [1,] TRUE [2,] TRUE [3,] TRUE [4,] TRUE [5,] TRUE > class(bIm) [1] "array" > dim(bIm) [1] 5 1 1 When I try to get the first 2D subarray, the whole thing folds into a vector: > bIm[,,1] [1] TRUE TRUE TRUE

Hi, I have a small R question: how to print a single "\" character? I have the following results: > print("\") does not work > print("\\") [1] "\\" I need to make the following substitution as well, but it does not work either: > sub("_","\_","g_g") [1] "g_g" Thanks in advance, Firas.

Hi, I am using the following command to print to a file (I omitted the file details): cat( paste( paste(orientation, start, end, names,"\n"), paste(start, end, "exon\n"), sep="")) where "orientation" and "names" are character vectors and "start" and "end" are integer vectors. The problem is that R coerce the integer vectors

Hi, I am having a problem with a very slow indexing and sub-sectioning of a 3d array: > dim(arr) [1] 245 175 150 For each point in the array, I am trying to calculate the mean of the values in its surrounding: mean( arr[ (i - radius):(i + radius), (j - radius):(j + radius), (k - radius):(k + radius)] ) Putting that code in 3

Hi, I was wondering if anyone is aware of an R interface to ImageMagick (www.imagemagick.org)? Since R does not support a lot of image processing functions, having such an interface could be very useful. Alternatively, ImageMagick has a couple of different interfaces (including to C and C++). I was wondering if one can use these to call ImageMagick functions from R. I am posting a similar

Hi, I have two (different types of) measurements, say X and Y, resulting from the same set of experiments. So X and Y are paired: (x_1, y_1), (x_2, y_2), ... I am trying to calculate the standard deviation of Y with respect to X. In other words, in terms of the scatter plot of X and Y, I would like to divide it into bins along the X-axis and for each bin calculate the standard deviation along

Dear I hope you are wery well when read this e-mail.My name is Firas ALSHAWY and I am a Phd student in the high Institute of marine research - tishreen university- Syria I would like to want some help my in my research, I have data ( length - weight - gonad weight - fishing mortality - natural mortality - the number of fish-temperature of water, maximum age ) , I would like to use the package (

Hi all, I want to add 6 plots in the format of 2 columns and 3 rows as one figure in latex. The plots are in .eps file. I know how to add 2 plots side by side, but could not figure out how to do multiple rows. I know this may not be the right place to ask such a question. But I do not know who to ask, so just try my luck here. Thank you in advance.

Dear all, This may not be the right place for latex questions, but I do not know where else to ask the question. I have two subfigures. I want the first subfigure to have a caption on the side of it and the second subfigure to have a caption below it. Thank you. Hannah [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Hi all, I am a new R- user and I am going through the R-manuals, but I could not find an answer for my question. I am confused about when to use the GAM package and when to use the MGCV package?? My Model is a GAM model of continuous outcome and many non-linear continuous predictors (using the "s" function) as well as categorical predictors. Thanks in advance for your help and

Dear R-users: I am trying to use the following code to reproduce the figures on page 140 of Prof. Frank Harrell's book 'Regression Modeling Strategies': rm(list=ls()) options(width=128) library(Hmisc) library(Design) getHdata(counties) counties$older <- counties$age6574 + counties$age75 label(counties$older) <- '% age >= 65, 1990' counties$pdensity <-

Hello, I'm almost positive R can do the following, I just haven't hit upon the right package or search terms, however. Here's what I'm after: I've got concentration output from two different models that I want to qualitatively compare in a contour plot (or some variant of a contour plot). The problem as I see it is that the data is not gridded is the usual regular fashion,

Hi, one of the nice things about contour is that it labels all contour lines. contourplot only labels each particular elevation a single time. i.e., if there are two contour lines corresponding to z = 45, it will only label one of them. is there a way to get contourplot to automatically label all the contour lines, even those that are repeated? i ask because i want to plot contour plots *w/

Hi R users, I'd like to draw a nomogram using a competing-risks regression (crr function in R), rather than a cox regression. However, the nomogram function provided in the Design package is not good for this purpose. Do you have any suggestion.

Perhaps it helps to know that I have access to the machines and have helped debug many of the current problems. I'm not speaking from the outside, guessing how hard things are. I also think you are assuming a lot about where services can be hosted and at which cost (labour, not hardware). So, unless you are volunteering to take care of the whole infrastructure, I suggest taking the opinion
