Dear R People: Are your undergraduate students receptive to learning R, as a rule? Most of the time, mine really like it. But this semester, they act as though they are being eaten by rats when learning R. They are not trying at all. Any similar experiences? If anyone has any good ideas, I would be THRILLED to hear them, as I am using R in Summer School. Thanks, Sincerely, Erin Hodgess

Hi R People! I'm going to be putting together a completely online undergrad business stats course (a second semester course) and was going to use R and Rcmdr. My question: has anyone else used R for an online course, please? If so, did it go well, please? Thanks in advance, Sincerely, Erin -- Erin Hodgess Associate Professor Department of Computer and Mathematical Sciences University

Dear R People: Could someone recommend a "baby book" on path analysis and SEM, please? Or if someone has an example that they use in the classroom setting, that would be very cool too.

Dear R People: I have a data frame, xm1, which has 12 rows and 4 columns. If I put is xm1[,-4], I get all rows, and columns 1 - 3, which is as it should be. Now, is there a way to use the names of the columns to omit them, please? Thanks so much in advance!

Dear R People: Here is a goofy question: I want to extract the zip code from an address and here is my work so far: > add1 results.formatted_address "200 W Rosamond St, Houston, TX 77076, USA" > add1[1][32:36] <NA> <NA> <NA> <NA> <NA> NA NA NA NA NA > str(add1) Named chr "200 W Rosamond St, Houston, TX 77076,

Dear R People: Here is a toy example: > x <- c("2E","5W","12H") > substr(x,2,2) [1] "E" "W" "2" > Sometimes x has 3 elements, sometimes 2. I want to extract the last element, and then extract the other 1 or 2 elements. How can I do this, please? TIA, Sincerely, Erin -- Erin Hodgess Associate Professor Department of

Hello I would like to build R from source and use the PGI compiler, rather than the GCC compiler. I saw the instructions for the Intel compiler in the R Installation Manual, but I didn't see the PGI. I tried a few times without instructions, but without success. Any suggestions would be most welcome. Also, I hope this is the right group for the question. Sincerely, Erin -- Erin

Dear R People: I have generated the following table: > table(zza$DEATH,zza$GENDER) F M 2009-04-21 0 1 2009-04-22 4 2 2009-04-24 6 0 2009-04-25 1 3 2009-04-26 2 0 2009-04-28 3 0 2009-04-29 2 2 However, instead of total counts in the F and M columns, I would like percents. How would I do this, please? thanks, Erin -- Erin

Dear R People: When I want to produce a small sample confidence interval using t.test, I get the following: > t.test(buzz$var1, conf.level=.98)$conf.int [1] 2.239337 4.260663 attr(,"conf.level") [1] 0.98 How do I keep the attr statement from printing, please? I'm sure it's something really simple. Thanks, Sincerely, Erin -- Erin Hodgess Associate Professor Department

Dear R People: Here is something that I am sure is very simple. I'm just trying to re-create the C convolution example in the Extensions manual. Here is the subroutine: void convolve(double *a, int *na, double *b, int *nb, double *ab) { R_len_t i, j, nab = *na + *nb - 1; for(i = 0; i < nab; i++) ab[i] = 0.0; for(i = 0; i < *na; i++) for(j = 0; j < *nb; j++) ab[i + j] += a[i] *

Dear R Gurus: What is the name of the person who has all of the Tcl/tk stuff, please? I know it's James W, but can't remember his last name. I wanted to look at some of his examples.

I believe that repo just follows the directions on my blog. Without seeing Dr. Hodges?s code, my initial concern is the many references to Cygwin. My method specifically does not use Cygwin but MSYS2 and Mingw64/Rtools35. That will likely change to solely Rtools40 once R3.6 is released due to the Msys system being built in to it. There may be some library conflicts between Cygwin and

Dear R People: Is it possible to run R on an iPad, please? For some reason, I'm thinking that you can't have Fortran, C, etc., so you can't do it. But I thought I would check anyway.

Dear R people: Is there a way to perform simple polynomial multiplication; that is, something like (x - 3) * (x + 3) = x^2 - 9, please? I looked in poly and polyroot and expression. There used to be a package that had this, maybe? thanks, Erin -- Erin Hodgess Associate Professor Department of Computer and Mathematical Sciences University of Houston - Downtown mailto: erinm.hodgess at
