Is anyone in the leadership of the R-project going to contact the New York Times and clarify that the article gave remarkably short shrift to the people who designed the user interface for R, to a large extent AT&T researchers from an earlier generation? It would be the appropriate thing to do. The R team did not develop the user interface for R, the designers of the S programming language

Why does the R mailing list need such an unusual and customized user interface? Last January, I figured out how to read Usenet mailing lists ( or Usenet groups ) and they all pretty much work the same, learn to use one, you've learned to use them all ( gnu.misc.discuss , comp.lang.lisp , and so on ). What's the best way to view and read discussions in this group for recent days? Can I

A graph != A table. I'm talking about a page full of summary statistics and advanced statistics, with lots of cross categories on the top and left margin of the table, as opposed to a visual display with x-axis and y-axis, which is totally different. (An example of how this is done in another language is available at http://fivetimesfaster.blogspot.com ) For an AE table, you have an N and %

As noted on the R-project web site itself ( www.r-project.org -> Manuals -> R Data Import/Export ), it can be cumbersome to prepare messy and dirty data for analysis with the R tool itself. I've also seen at least one S programming book (one of the yellow Springer ones) that says, more briefly, the same thing. The R Data Import/Export page recommends examples using SAS, Perl, Python, and

Hi I am working on a project of replication and need to know about few options related to web page replication in Red Hat linux/Apache enviornment. I am new in Linux. The scenario: I have two apache servers running on RH Linux-8 boxes. One of my web server is the master server(146.176.165.2) and I want to make the other one as a replica(146.176.165.1) of the master one. So, I need to replicate

Hi, is there a way to analyze subpopulations (e.g. women over 50, those who answered "yes" to a particular question) in a survey using Survey package? Other packages (e.g. Stata, SUDAAN) do this with a subpopulation option to identify the subpopulation for which the analysis shoud be done. I did not see this option in the Survey package. Is there another way to do this?

Hi All I am using the following command to update data from one server to another one. But it is returning back with error. Without SSH: [root@pc165017 var]# rsync -ae /var/www pc165002.napier.ac.uk:/var/www Failed to exec /var/www : Permission denied rsync error: error in IPC code (code 14) at util.c(162) rsync: connection unexpectedly closed (0 bytes read so far) rsync error: error in rsync

I saw an ad in the July 2001 Amstat News for a complex sample survey analysis package called Wesvar. The package has what appears to be a useful feature called a "Workbook" by which the user navigates analysis output. This is a hierarchical tree in which the user may click on a part of the analysis (table, regression fit, descriptive stats, etc.) so as to go directly to that output.

Data Analysts Captivated by Power of R http://www.nytimes.com/2009/01/07/technology/business-computing/07program.html January 7, 2009 Data Analysts Captivated by R?s Power By ASHLEE VANCE To some people R is just the 18th letter of the alphabet.

That may sound like a stupid question, but if it confuses me, I'm sure it confuses others as well. I've tried to find that information on the R mail-group info pages, can't seem to find it. Is it something obvious? To begin a brand new discussion, you do your post as an e-mail sent to r-help at stat.math.ethz.ch . As I am doing right now. How do I do an additional post that gets

I have learned a lot from this list. I would like to thank the developers and contributors who devote so much of their time to this project. Does anyone know if any methods have been developed for handling data from complex sample surveys that include sample weights, clusters, strata, and so on? I know that SUDAAN, Stata have some abilities. Does anything exist in R/S? Paul E. Green

Dear R Can you tell me how to change the working directory of R It's just that I have some text files that I wish to save separately from the R filing structure eg. into C:/my documents and need to change the working directory of R so that it reads these files . This means if I ever upgrade the current version of R nothing will be effected. brett Brett Stansfield Environmental Scientist -

I am trying to age standardize using the svystandardize package in R. I have successfully managed to hit my SUDAAN based targets for estimates by sex, but not the total. The total is only a little different, but I'd like some help knowing why it isn't exact. I've included the SUDAAN code that generates the targets and my R script (and output) that I have so far. I can't supply the

In clinical trial data preparation and many other data situations, the statistical programmer needs to merge and re-merge multiple input files countless times. A syntax for merging files that is clear and concise is very important for the statistical programmer's productivity. Here is how Vilno does it: inlist dataset1 dataset2 dataset3 ; joinby variable1 variable2 where ( var3<=var4 ) ;

A number of people are having the same problem as me, when you post as a response to an ongoing thread, in place of your message, the following message appears: An embedded & charset-unspecified text was scrubbed ... and a link is given that leads to the desired message. It's better than nothing , but it sure is annoying, and some readers will skip it instead of doing the extra link.

Hi, Is there any way you can save a xen domain without suspending it or stopping it? I want to set up something so if my xen session crashes I can fire up another xen session from the save file that I created 5 minutes before the crash and hopefully minimize downtime.

Ashlee Vance's article on R in the New York Times. This is typical of the New York Times. Because they get to coast on the prestige and reputation of their brand , they have a history of just this sort of journalistic sloppiness. Whether it's the author or the editor at fault doesn't really matter, they do this screw-up all the time. Look, if you write an article on the first page of
