For the command 'spectrum' I read: The spectrum here is defined with scaling 1/frequency(x), following S-PLUS. This makes the spectral density a density over the range (-frequency(x)/2, +frequency(x)/2], whereas a more common scaling is 2? and range (-0.5, 0.5] (e.g., Bloomfield) or 1 and range (-?, ?]. Forgive my ignorance but I am having a hard time interpreting this. Does this mean

This is definitely a newbie question but from the documentation I have not been able to figure out what the partial sort option on the sort method does. I have read and re-read the documentation and looked at the examples but for some reason it doesn't register. Would someone attempt to explain what sort with a non-null partial array of indices does? Thank you. Kevin

I am trying to sort a list and the data is obiously not in the right format. I am trying: x <- list() x[["A"]] <- 1 x[["B"]] <- 2 order(x) But am getting: Error in order(x) : unimplemented type 'list' in 'orderVector1' How should I change the list so that it can be sorted? What kinds of objects (classes of objects) can be sorted? Thank you. Kevin

I have a need to build a time series and there are a couple of aspects about the time series object that are confusing me. First it seems that ts.union is not doing what I would expect. For example: x0 <- rep(0,10) x1 <- rep(1,10) xt0 <- ts(x0, frequency=10) xt1 <- ts(x1, frequency=10) st2 <- ts.union(xt0, xt1) > xt2 Time Series: Start = c(1, 1) End = c(1, 10) Frequency = 10

In browsing the source I see the following construct: res <- switch(type, working = , response = r, deviance = , pearson = if (is.null(object$weights)) r else r * sqrt(object$weights), partial = r) I understand that 'switch' will execute the code that is matched by its corresponding string value (in this case 'type'). What I don't

I have a question on the function 'embed'. I ran the example x <- 1:10 embed(x, dimension=3) This gives the output: [,1] [,2] [,3] [1,] 3 2 1 [2,] 4 3 2 [3,] 5 4 3 [4,] 6 5 4 [5,] 7 6 5 [6,] 8 7 6 [7,] 9 8 7 [8,] 10 9 8 I don't quite understand the output and why it is useful. First, there are only 8

I noticed that the text() command adds text to a plot. Is there a way to either make the plot blank or add text to a "blank sheet". I would like to "plot" a page that contains just text, no plot lines, labels, etc. Suggestions? Kevin [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

I would like to turn on auditing for a particular share and have all auditing go to the username.machinename.log files. If I turn on audit then no matter which way I configure it, it either goes to just syslog, or both. My goal is to just log to the samba files and take the wieght off of syslog. I have searched and searched but can't find but a solution that works. Any help would be

Given a Date object or simply a year is there an R function to tell me if the it is a leap year or not? I was hoping for something like 'is.leapyear'. I probably can build my own function (year divisible by 4 etc.) but I would rather use an existing function if it is available. Thank you. Kevin

Why does: (shape/scale) * (1:365/scale)^(shape - 1) return a vector of numbers but calling a function hasard(1:365,shape,scale) defined like: hazard <- function(x,shape,scale) { return (shape/scale) * (x/scale)^(shape - 1) } Only return a single value? It is like x becomes a single value passed as an argument. Thank you. Kevin

I had a question about the basic power functions in R. For example from the R console I enter: -1 ^ 2 [1] -1 but also -1^3 [1] -1 -0.1^2 [1] -0.01 Normally pow(-1, 2) return either -Infinity or NaN. Has R taken over the math functions? If so I would think that -1^2 is 1 not -1 and -0.1^2 is 0.01 not -0.01. Thank you. Kevin

I noticed that when I fit a linear model using 'lm' there is an attribute called "factors" that is added to the "term". It doesn't seem to appear for 'model.matrix', just 'lm'. I have been unable to find where it gets constructed or what it means? It looks like a two dimensional array that I may be able to use so I would just like to get some

Dear R users I have two questions about estimating the spectral power of a time series: 1) I came across a funny thing with the following code: data(co2) par(mfrow=c(2,1)) co2.sp1<-spectrum(co2,detrend=T,demean=T,span=3) co2.sp2<-spectrum(co2[1:468],detrend=T,demean=T,span=3) The first plot displays the frequencies ranging from 0 to 6 whearas the second plot displays the same curve but

I am trying to upgrade to R 2.14 from R 2.13.1 I have compied all the libraries from the 'library' directory in my existing installation (2.13.1) to the installed R 2.14. Now I want to uninstall the old installation (R 2.13.1) and I get the error: Internal Error: Cannot find utCompiledCode record for this version of the uninstaller. Any ideas?

Why is class(spectrum[["Ion"]]) after this "factor"? spectrum <- cbind(spectrum,Ion=rep("", nrow(spectrum)),Deviation.AMU=rep(0.0, nrow(spectrum))) slowly going crazy ... Joh

Dear list, I apologies first for my English, hope you will understand well my question. I am working on 1/2 hour piezometric data, time unit is second. They present daily oscillation when using the spectrum() function. What I am really interested in, is to find the amplitude corresponding to this oscillation. I work with a college using Matlab, and although we apply the same methodology, our

I am running R 2.9.2 and creating a PDF that I am trying to open with Adobe Reader 9.2 but when I try to open it the reader responds with "There was an error opening this document. The file is damaged and cannot be repaired.: I am using the R command(s): pdf(file="cat.pdf", title="Historical Sales By Category") for(j in 1:length(master)) { d <-

Hi, I'm wondering why the spectrum() phase of quadrature couple isn't purely +/-pi. But mostly, I'm looking for a recommended way to take a 2-D spectrum and convert it into a single complex array. Kindly consider: # 10 Hz sine wave 10 seconds long sampled at 50 Hz deltaT = 1/50 t = seq(0, 10, deltaT) w = 2 * pi * 10 x = ts( sin( w * t ), deltat = deltaT ) y = ts( sin(

I'm using an R program (which I did not write) to simulate multilevel data (subjects in locations) used in power calculations. It uses lmer to fit a mixed logistic model to the simulated data based on inputs of means, variances, slopes and proportions: ? (fitmodel <- lmer(modelformula,data,family=binomial(link=logit),nAGQ=1)) where modelformula is set up in another part of the program.?

I have done a fair bit of spectral analysis, and hadn't finished collecting my thoughts for a reply, so hadn't replied yet. What exactly do you mean by normalize? I have not used the functons periodogram or spectrum, however from the description for periodogram it appears that it returns the spectral density, which is already normalized by frequency, so you don't have to worry about
