Hi all, Firstly I appologise if this question has been answered previously, however searching of the archives and the internet generally has not yielded any results. I am looking in to the effects of summer weather conditions (temperature, humidity etc), on the incidences of a breathing disorder brought on through smoking (COPD). I am fairly new to R and completely new to the idea of

Hi R Users, I have been trying to work out how to rename column names using grep, basically I have generated these column names using tapply: [1] "NAME" "X1.1" "X2.1" "X3.1" "X4.1" "X5.1" "X6.1" "X7.1" "X8.1" [10] "X1.2" "X2.2" "X3.2" "X4.2"

Hi All, I am learning R and having a little trouble with the usage and proper definitions of data.frames vs. matrix vs vectors. I have read many R tutorials, and looked over ump-teen 'cheat' sheets and have found that no one has articulated a really good definition of the differences between 'data.frames', 'matrix', and 'arrays' and even 'factors'. I

Hi all, Again I have searched the net and so on, without finding an answer to this surely simple problem. A short bit of code would be appreciated. I have a object named `data' with the following column headings. Date, maxitemp, minitemp, admissions, d.o.w. Where d.o.w. is day of the week, written "Sun" "Mon" etc. I just need to scale the Monday admissions by

I'm trying to fit a Cox proportional hazards model to some hospital admission data. About 25% of the patients have had at least one admission, and of these, 40% have had two admissions within the 12 month period of the study. Each patients has had one of 4 treatments, and one of the treatment groups has had no admissions for the period. I used:

Hello, I have a general help question that some of you might be able able to help. I would like to design a study (a two group comparison) based on reduction on events(say hospital admissions). In a previous study hospital admission rate of 140 admissions per 72 patients (over a 4 month period) has been observed. That is rate is about 1.9. In order to see the admission rate reduction of 50% over

Dear list, Can somebody tell me how to invoke user-defined functions from script files during run-time? Basically I have (almost) one function per script file. I am thinking of something like #include in C++ import in Java/Python use in Perl No, I don't need my functions every time R is started. Neither I am thinking about writing building my functions into packages. I just

Dear R experts, Suppose I have a data frame of three variables: > foo <- data.frame(row=1:5, col=1:3, val=rnorm(15)) > foo row col val 1 1 1 -1.00631642 2 2 2 0.77715344 3 3 3 0.17358793 4 4 1 -1.67226988 5 5 2 1.08218836 6 1 3 1.32961329 7 2 1 -0.51186267 8 3 2 -1.20990127 9 4 3 -0.57786899 10 5 1 0.67102887 11 1 2

Hi, I was wondering whether there was an easy way to change the attributes of all elements in a data.frame (rather than looping through elements)? Specifically, I would like to set the "dim" attributes to NULL Thanks for any help, Jarrod -- The University of Edinburgh is a charitable body, registered in Scotland, with registration number SC005336.

Dear all, I am having difficulties using the seemingly-simple function lag. I have a dataframe with several weather variables (maxitemp, windspeed, rainfall etc), and the response variable (admissions). The dataset is fairly large (1530 observations). I simply want to model the response against a lag of a couple of the explanatory variables, say maxitemp and rainfall. I would like to look at

Hi I am having the most basic of problems. I have setup a PDC with samba 2.2.2 and am trying to get my Win200) machine to join the domain. I followed the following proceedure http://ivy:901/swat/help/Samba-HOWTO-Collection.html#SAMBA-PDC And when I go to the client W2000 box and change from the workgroup to join the domain I get a popup which says

Dear All, I'm trying to read a text data file that contains several records separated by a blank line. Each record starts with a row that contains it's ID and the number of rows for the records (two columns), then the data table itself, e.g. 123 5 89.1791 1.1024 90.5735 1.1024 92.5666 1.1024 95.0725 1.1024 101.2070 1.1024 321 3 60.1601 1.1024 64.8023 1.1024 70.0593

Hi all, Thanks for the help with my previous post. I have just two more questions for the minute. I think I said in a previous post that I like to use the terminal, i.e. run rterm.exe. On exiting the terminal, I am asked if I want to save the workspace. If I hit y (yes), the workspace is just saved as .rdata in my working directory, does anyone know how I can name it directly from the

Dear all, I appologise for cluttering up the list with such a basic question, however I have been unable to find the answer I want (possibly through my poor usage of the R help system). As I am visually impaired and using assistive technology, I think I would prefer to use R from the terminal mode, i.e. by running rterm.exe found in the bin directory. I have managed to set my working

Greetings helpRs -- I would like to use plot() to plot two cumulative distribution curves so that a user of the plot can compare the distributions of the two variables. The following code draws two distributions separately, but I cannot find the instruction necessary to add a second cumulative distribution to the first one. Any suggestion would be very welcome. x1 <-

Dear R-helpers I would like to do a fit of the form: y = a (x+c)**b, where a, b and c are unknown. Does anybody know how to do it? Thanks Thomas

All, I think this is pretty basic but I couldn't find the answer in any source. I have just built my own R for Linux (amd 64). It runs well, but R thinks that it only has 80 characters or so of screen width. I log on with Putty to the box and can stretch it as large as I want. Is there a simple way to tell R to use more screen width when displaying? From whatami: OS RELEASE :

Hi, How can I overlap two density plots?
