question about a small "for" loop
R 2.5.1 on WinXP
I'm trying to create new variables in a dataframe called jaw, as powers
of jaw$age up to the sixth power, and name them
jaw$age.(--the digit corresponding to the power--)
Obviously none of these work (silly for me to try, I suppose):
for (i in 2:6) {
jaw$age.'i' <- jaw$age^i
}
for (i in 2:6) {
jaw$age.i <- jaw$age^i
}
for (i in 2:6) {

trouble converting an array to a dataframe
I start with a dataframe called xrays. It contains scores on films from
each of two radiologists. It is in "long" format. I used the reshape
package to melt a data frame and then cast it into "wide" format, one
line for each patient (identified by redlognumb) with scores from both
radiologists for a given patient on the same line.
I named the result of the casting xrays.data.

trying to figure out reorder.factor in gdata

problem using identify() after plot()
I can't seem to use the point-and-click identify() function properly.
I'm running R 2.5.1 (I know, I need to get around to upgrading) under
Win XP. The problem is, when I click on a point on the graph, I get an
error, "no point within 0.25 inches." But in some areas, I can click
where there is no visible point anywhere close, and an identify() label
will pop up. The troublesome

installing, removing, upgrading, and downgrading packages
I'm very new to R, trying to learn it. I started with R 2.4, but I have
since upgraded to 2.5.0, on WindowsXP. I understand that 2.5.1 is now
available.
Last night in the course of things I loaded libraries "coin" and
"survival". I received warning messages that they had been built under
version 2.5.1. However, as far as I could tell, they worked OK. But

color schemes in Tinn-R
A question for anyone using Tinn-R: I find that using the default color

see the drop-down menus leading to the ability to change the colors of
individual components (numbers, commmands, strings, etc, and the
background for each of those.) I can play around with background colors
and foreground colors. However, I'm

summary of linear fixed effects model is different than the HSAUR book
Running R 2.5.1 and a newly downloaded lme4 package on WinXP
I'm trying to work my way through Everitt and Hothorn's "Handbook of
Statistical Analyses Using R," c 2006. (No, it's not homework.)
Chapter 10 discusses linear mixed effects models for longitudinal data.
I've called my long data frame BtheB.long

automatic exploration of all possible loglinear models?
Is there a way to automate fitting and assessing loglinear models for
several nominal variables . . . something akin to step or drop1 or add1
for linear or logistic regression?
Thanks.

xemacs and ess: keyboard shortcut for sending line to R
running R 2.9.1 on Windows XP. Formerly used Tinn-R but it has been
acting strangely lately and I haven't been able to fix it, so I am
trying to learn ESS.
I have Xemacs 21.4.19. I have ESS configured, I think, as per John Fox:

I have a long sequence of dates, about 6 years worth, as one column in a

without gaps?

THANK YOU: Updating R version
Based on the feedback received, I did the following:
a) moved my lib sub-directory from the existing installed R version to
c:\myRLib
b) installed the updated R version
c) created .Renviron file in the home directory (C:\R-2.5.1) with the line
R_LIBS=c:/myRLib
d) used .libPaths() command to confirm that the new R installation was
recognizing the myRLib sub-directory
e) deleted my old R

trouble calculating rates--sometimes the denominator is missing
Every day I get a csv file containing the names of the 64 schools in our
county, the number of students sent home ill, and the number of students
absent (plus lots of other variables). The file is cumulative since fall
of 2009. It is in "long" format: one line per school per day.
Each line is also supposed to contain the total number of students
enrolled in the school. That number

Off-topic -- an eye on a stats presentation for clinicians?
I've got a 20 slide Powerpoint set up against the expected day someone
says "Mitch, could you talk for a short while to the residents on how
to use statistics?"
It looks good at this end, but I'd love to get at least one more pair
of eyes on it.
Any volunteers?

Dear all:
Just to make sure I am on the same page as everyone else.
I just got a new computer and had to reinstall MikTex and of course R and Tinn-R. In order to be able to generate PDF's with Sweave I had to install notepad++ to tell Sweave where Latex.exe and yap.exe where located under MikTex path. So,I have two questions:

cronbachs alpha - score.items(psych) vs reliability(Rcmdr)
Dear all,
I like the way the Rcmdr package computes reliability. E.g
reliability(cov(d[,c("q1", "q2", "q3", "q4", "q5", "q6")],
use="complete.obs"))
will not only give me the alpha score, but also for each variable,
alpha.score if deleted. However - when writing scripts it's very tiresome to
load the whole Rcmdr GUI just
