similar to: abline of an lm fit not correct

I have got a data set that is Gross Primary Productivity ~ Total Suspended Solids it is a hyperbola just like: plot(1/c(1:1000)) how do I model this relationship so that I can get all of the neat things that lm gives residuals etc. etc. so that I can see if my eyeball model stands up.

a <- c(1:26) b <- rnorm(25) e <- rnorm(25) f <- rnorm(25) g <- data.frame(b,e, a,f) I would like to plot a agianst all possibilities and then shoot it out to a pdf one graph per page. I think it would be okay to have this as a lattice plot or a ggplot with many graphs per page. I can figure all of that out I think, but I need something like r <- as.matrix(g) plot(.~a, data=r)

I have insect data from twelve sites and like most environmental data it is non-normal mostly. I would like to preform an anova and a means seperation like tukey's HSD in a nonparametric sense (on some sort of central tendency measure - median?). I am searching around at this time on the internet. Any suggestions, books, etc. would be greatly appreciated. -- Stephen Sefick Research

I would like to reformat this data frame into something that I can produce some descriptive statistics. I have been playing around with the reshape package and maybe this is not the best way to proceed. I would like to use RiverMile and constituent as the grouping variables to get the summary statistics: 198a 198b mean mean sd sd ... ... etc. for all of these. I have tried

I am wondering if there is a better alternative than Excel for data storage that does not require database knowledge (I will eventually have to learn this, but it is not on my immediate todo list). I need something that is not limited to 256 columns... I don't need any of the built in functions in excel just a spreadsheet like program with cells that hold data in a data.frame format for a

I would like to use the data below where the plots are close to what I want. Instead of color I would like to use different symbols, and have the symbols in the legend match the graphs. I am also going to add a regression line to these I know about the type="r" (which is fine for these particular graphs) argument, but it fits the subsets instead of the entire data set-- should I use a

I am was going to look at the as.yearmon function in the zoo package and write a as.day function to aggregate a time series of 96 observations per day into the mean for each day, but I don't know how to look at the code so that I can convert it into something I can use. On top of that I believe that it is probably an S3 method and I haven't quite gotten that far in my programming

Hadley et al., I was using the cast function to reshape some data (aggregate a melted data frame) and I did not put in the fill and for the most part the values that came out were fine, but there were value great than an order of magnitude from the actual value. When I put in the fill argument everything is okay. I don't provide a reproducible example because the data set is to large to post
