similar to: read.*: How to read from a URL?

For an historical paper I'm working on, I have some Spanish plaintext, presently in the form of a Word .doc file, http://euclid.psych.yorku.ca/SCS/Gallery/images/Private/Langren/Verdadera-spanish-stripped.doc and also some ciphered text from the same original source. The ultimate goal is to use some frequency analysis of letters and word lengths in the plaintext to help decode the

Dear All, I'm trying to compile R for Windows 64 bit. I'm following the instructions of R installation and administration guide v2.15.2 (3.1; A.3.1.4; C.2.2) and at the moment I compiled the default version (single threaded, gcc, without external BLAS) ?on my notebook (windows xp 32 bit) Now I'm trying to compile it on Windows servers 64 bit with the next configuration : 1. Windows

Continuing to try to customize my environment for using R under Windoze, I experimented with installing a package from CRAN in a local library ``Lib''. I created the directory ``Lib'' in the folder in which R starts, and then executed > install.packages("abind",lib="Lib") Everything went according to form (I got prompted to choose a mirror, etc.) until

Hi, when I try installing new packages (in this case DBI) I run into the following problem: Paket 'DBI' erfolgreich ausgepackt und MD5 Summen abgeglichen Warnung: kann tempor?re Installation 'C:\Programme\R\R-2.7.0\library\file5f906952\DBI' nicht nach '? xlD?? $@\R\R-2.7.0\libra' verschieben Has anybody any idea where these strange symbols come from? Thanks in

Please note that building R on Windows is documented in "R Installation and Administration", including links to external software. Particularly there is a link to texinfo which is part of Rtools. The documentation is maintained and it is a sufficient source of information for building R on Windows. https://cran.r-project.org/doc/manuals/r-release/R-admin.html

This just an FYI. Yesterday I updated to top of trunk wine and rebuilt and installed. I have a Ford Service CD (for 1999 models) and wine on the exe does not work (on an old Windows ME laptop it all works). The startup.exe sort of seems to work AFAICT, but when it's done and the app exe started the app exe ( installed on disk) cannot seem to find the cd (the app needs the CD, the install

I am having a problem installing and updating packages. It doesn't happen with every package I try to install or update, but most of them. I get this warning message: Warning: unable to move temporary installation 'C:\Program Files\R\R-2.8.0\library\file5f906952\rpart' to '4xl@鏛 $2' and most of the files are not moved to the Library folder. It happens whether I try to

Is anyone else having intermittent svn access with rspec? Occasionally I''m getting: euclid% svn update svn: Connection closed unexpectedly Scott

Dear useRs,i am applying "mantel test" to find the correlation between distance matrices, by ade4 package. some of the correlations, although given me r-values, have shown following warning message.. "In is.euclid(m2) : Zero distance(s)" i wanted to know that why has this message prompted? although i have got the result but still is it of concern?thanks in advance regardseliza

Running: R Version 2.3.1 (2006-06-01), debian stable I'm testing an application that uses rgl (installed with apt-get install r-cran-rgl) but fails, at least partly because that application uses a more current version. There is also a mysterious error msg from Xlib: > library(car) > library(rgl) > iris.mod <- lm(cbind(Sepal.Length, Sepal.Width, Petal.Length, Petal.Width) ~

[Running debian stable] I followed the instructions at http://cran.r-project.org/bin/linux/debian, adding deb http://cran.R-project.org/bin/linux/debian lenny-cran/ to /etc/apt/sources.list. But apt-get still leaves me with R 2.7.1. How can I diagnose what's wrong or correct this? euclid: /etc/apt # apt-get update Hit http://debian.yorku.ca stable Release.gpg Ign http://debian.yorku.ca

I have two series of events over time and I want to construct a graph of the relative frequency/density of these events that allows their distributions to be sensibly compared. The events are the milestones items in my project on milestones in the history of data visualization [1], and I want to compare trends in Europe vs. North America. I decided to use a graph of two overlaid density

It looks to me that hpricot is a dependency to building rspec: euclid% rake pre_commit (in /Users/smtlaissezfaire/ruby/projects/rspec/hpricot) rake aborted! Could not find RubyGem hpricot (>= 0.0.0) /Users/smtlaissezfaire/ruby/projects/rspec/hpricot/rakefile:9 (See full trace by running task with --trace) Let me know if I''m wrong. Otherwise, I''ll submit a patch in the docs.

I am having a lot of problems with nmbd. Basically it refuses to open its socket to listen on. I have checked, and the reason cannot be that the port is in use, as I can set any port with the -p switch, and I get the same error. The relevant part of the nmb log is: Netbios name list:- my_netbios_names[0]="DIRAC" lp_file_list_changed() file /usr/local/samba/lib/smb.conf ->

I'm trying to make a set of contour plots of bivariate kernel density estimates, showing three such plots overlaid, similar to this plot http://euclid.psych.yorku.ca/SCS/Private/Test/ridge-boot2.pdf except that I would like to have the contours *filled* (using transparent colors). To make this reproducible, I've saved the results of KernSmooth::bkde2D() in the following file:

The following code is giving me problems. I want to export densities of a distribution to a csv file. At the bottom of the code I use the hist function to generate the densities. But hist is returning values greater than 1. I don't understand, why. Any help you can supply is greatly appreciated. # Set word path dir<-"~/Research/MR Distribution Analysis/" setwd(dir)

== Summary == * Problem: BibTeX entries extracted from R packages via citation() require too much manual editing to be of general use. * Proposal: Date: fields should be made mandatory in package DESCRIPTION files, perhaps beginning with warnings from R CMD check * Proposal: Package authors should be encouraged to use a (new) Contributors: field in the DESCRIPTION file rather than packing all

I'd like to do some plots of historical event data on a reverse log scale, started, say at the year 2000 and going backwards in time, with tick marks spaced according to log(2000-year). For example, see: http://euclid.psych.yorku.ca/SCS/Gallery/images/log-timeline.gif As an example, I'd like to create a density plot of such data with the horizontal axis reverse-logged, a

Hi R-experts, I am using the envfit function over an ordination of floristic data. The problem is that every time that I run it changes the results. Sometimes dramatically, selecting variables that the first time were not significant. I do not get what could be the problem or if is normal given the permutations are different. # the NMDS ordination gap_flor_NMDS_chord <- metaMDS(gaps_flor,
