Warranty on Accuracy, Precision, Legality, ... of R in Research (These questions may well have been raised.) What is the implied warranty of using R for research & publications, consulting, etc.? Alternately, how does one obtain such a warranty? Your answers will be much appreciated. Perhaps you can point me to some websites which discussed this subject in the past. Thanks & regards

Hello everyone, I have a variable with several categories and I want to convert this into dummy variables and do logistic regression on it. I used model.matrix to create dummy variables but it always picked the smallest one as the reference. For example, model.matrix(~.,data=as.data.frame(letters[1:5])) will code 'a' as '0 0 0 0'. But I want to code another category as

Hi there, I have the following plot. The circles and the line do not cross in the main plot. But in the legend, the circle and the line cross. I am wondering if there is a way to make the legend look like the plot without crossing. I looked around but did not find a way to do that. Is it doable? plot(x,x^1.5, pch=1, lty=1, type='b') legend(1,25, legend="hello",pch=1,

I'm having problems creating an axis label for a plot. y_label = expression(paste(plain('CPUE '),plain('(fish'),plain('x'),plain('h'^{-1}),plain(')'))) I'd like to replace the "x" with an interpunct symbol (dot). Any suggestions how to do this? Thanks in advance. [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

I am using expression() to incorporate text into graphics. To create a superscript, I use the '^' character. Can someone please tell me the character to use to create a subscript?

Hi, I have started very recently with R in order to get excellent Box and Whisker plots. I could plot my data nicely. However, I can't figure out from R-mailing list archive or google search either, how to place an Angstrom sign/symbol on the y-axis (any axis in principle), after a usual y-axis label ? I am doing something like this:

I am trying to develop scatter plots using library(car). However, the output I am getting shows the axis (x and y) in scientific notation. I want to have the axis represented by regular integers (for eg. the X axis i want the upper bound to show as 40,000,000 instead of 4.0e+07). Scanning the r-help archives did not get me the answer. I have uploaded my data here: http://bit.ly/olgMLt

Dear R users, I would like to use sub- and super-script in axis labels. I assume this is best done using Hershey symbols. When trying to find information on using Hershey font symbols in axis labels, I came across the following discussion thread: http://maths.newcastle.edu.au/~rking/R/help/02a/1857.html Have Hershey font implementations moved on since then? Thanks, Sander. --

Readers, I have tried to use a plotmath command to add the temperature degree sign (i.e. ? C) to the axis label of a graph: > x<-(1:10) > y<-(200:191) > plot(x~y,ylab=expression(*degree~C)) Error: syntax error, unexpected '*', expecting ',' in "plot(x~y,ylab=expression(*" According to plotmath manual, the syntax is '*degree' and I am able to use

Hello there, Is there any way to italicize Greek symbols such as mu in axis? From the help files of mathematical anotations: "Note that bold, italic and bolditalic do not apply to symbols, and hence not to the Greek symbols such as mu which are displayed in the symbol font. They also do not apply to numeric constants.", it seems that it cannot be done. Thanks, Bingzhang Chen

Is it possible to use the '\ell' (i.e. the log likelihood) in plots? I've been browsing the plotmath documentation unsucesfully.

Hey, Does anyone know of an equivalent to the LaTeX \perp (perpendicular) symbol for adding to R plots? Parallel is easy enough ("||"), but I haven't been able to find a way of adding perpendicular. The plotmath documentation doesn't mention how to do it, so I'm inclined to think that it doesn't exist - but surely there must be some way of achieving the desired result,

Hi I am having problems with the rendering of scientific symbols (mu and degree) in my plots. Whenever I use these symbols they are rendered changed (mu is changed to the proportionality symbol and degree is changed to something resembling a gamma) in the X-device. If I make a pdf of the plot and open the file in Evince or Okular symbols are also rendered wrong, however if I open the file

hi, i am need to plot two or more sets of data in a 3d scatterplot, each set with different color. i tried Rcmdr, and the 3d scatterplot facility, based on rgl. that is what i need. but i cannot seem to code different sets of data differently. any help will be very helpful. i tried scatterplot3d, but it is difficult to get the right angle in it. i need to be able to rotate the axes, and

Hi there, I want to create plots with some kind of 'complex' axis labelling of the form $\dot{V}$ and integrate those plots into a LaTeX document. What is the best way to go? I've figured out, that the 'plotmath' commands are somewhat limited (at least I wasn't able to get the $\dot{V}$ generated) and that plots with 'plotmath'-axes wouldn't export

In plotmath expressions, R's degree symbol, e.g. shown by plot(1, main = parse(text = "1*degree*C")) has sunk to halfway the text line, instead of touching its top. In older R versions this looked much better. -- Edzer Pebesma Institute for Geoinformatics Heisenbergstrasse 2, 48151 Muenster, Germany Phone: +49 251 8333081

Dear useRs, I very much like the effect display of the proportional odds model on page 29 (Figure 8) of the following paper by John Fox: http://socserv.mcmaster.ca/jfox/Papers/logit-effect-displays.pdf It really gives a very concise overview of the model. I would like to use it to illustrate the proportional odds mixed models we fit here for a project on Diabetes but I can't seem to reproduce

Moi! I'm trying to add a rather long label to a y-axis, and it's so long that it won't fit into one line. However, things get strange when I try and split it over 2 lines. The problem seems to be the plus/minus symbol, which means I have to use expression(). I'm using R1.6.1 on Windoze 2000. As an example: thing1 <- expression(paste("log odds of survival probability (
