I posted previously about problems with X11() on my MAC using R 2.8.1 . After installing the securilty update for Tiger this morning, X11() now works from an xterm :-) However, I receive the following warnings with any plotting command using the default X11 settings. Fontconfig warning: no <cachedir> elements found. Check configuration. Fontconfig warning: adding

I've got read.table to successfully read in my table of three columns. Most of the time I will have a set number of rows, but sometime that will be variable and sometimes there will be only be two variables in one row, e.g. Time Loc1 Loc2 1 22.33 44.55 2 66.77 88.99 3 222.33344.55 4 66.77 88.99 Is there any way to have read.table handle (1) a variable number of rows, and (2) sometime there

<<insert bug report here>> This is a CRITICAL bug!!! I have verified it in R 2.8.1 for mac and for windows. The problem is with loess degree=0 smoothing. For example, try the following: x <- 1:100 y <- rnorm(100) plot(x, y) lines(predict(loess(y ~ x, degree=0, span=0.5))) This is obviously wrong.

The documentation for the OutDec option says that it should be a 'one-character string'; yet, if I try a unicode character, it doesn't seem to work. Are unicode chars not counted as one-character? This is within the mac GUI, but I also see this on linux boxes. > x <- '\u00B7' > nchar(x) [1] 1 > options(OutDec=x) Error in options(OutDec = x) : invalid value for

I observed the following: match.arg("white", colors()) yields 'white', but match.arg("whit", colors()) yields: `Error in match.arg("whit", colors()) : 'arg' should be one of "white", "aliceblue", '... this message actually comes from `pmatch'. using a suitable subset of `colors()' works OK. the precise length

Same behavior was noted on R 2.9.0 OS X and WIndows. > t(sapply(seq(0.01, .99, length=20), function(x) c(x, length(agrep("Staatssekretar im Bundeskanzleramt","Bundeskanzler",max.distance=x))))) [1,] 0.01000000 0 [2,] 0.06157895 0 [3,] 0.11315789 0 [4,] 0.16473684 0 [5,] 0.21631579 0 [6,] 0.26789474 0 [7,] 0.31947368 0 [8,] 0.37105263 0 [9,]

here appears to be a bug in the foreign library. The following code used to work, but now generates an error when 'package="SAS"' is specified: ds <- read.csv("http://www.math.smith.edu/sasr/datasets/help.csv") # running foreign package version 0.8-30 library(foreign) # this works fine write.foreign(ds, "foo", "bar", package="Stata") #

I get the error Error : evaluation nested too deeply: infinite recursion / options(expressions=)? during a 'R CMD check ...' on one of my packages. The reason seems to be that this package is mutually dependent on another one (i.e. the DESCRIPTION files of package A lists package B under "Depends" and vice versa). this might be bad design (having bits in both packages needed

Appologies if this has been addressed before, but I can't seem to find it in the help archives. I'm looking to do something like the following but it looks like save.plot is deprecated. save.plot(plot(glm1$residuals,gain,main = "Hist of residuals and gain"),file="Desktop/hist1.png") Thanks in advance, Sean Session Info: R version 2.9.1 (2009-06-26)

I am trying to duplicate the example by Spencer Graves in the wiki, using lmer with the Nozzle data. http://wiki.r-project.org/rwiki/doku.php?id=guides:lmer-tests However the Chisq value and the fitAB values that are calculated are different compared to those in the example. I also get a warning message when I attempt the fitAB. Does anyone have any guidance as to why this might happen and how

I am trying to install a package from a collaborator that was given to me as a zip file. I'm running R 2.9.0 using Mac OSX 10.5.7 [R.app GUI 1.28 (5395) i386-apple-darwin8.11.1] foo.zip contains all the usual package directories (man, R, R-ex, etc) After unzipping foo, I used the following commands. $ R CMD INSTALL foo * Installing to library

Greetings, I am attempting to run a function, which produces a vector and requires two input variables, across two nested factor levels. I can do this using by(X, list(factor1, factor2), function), however I haven't found a simple way to extract the list output into an organized vector form. I can do this using nested loops but it isn't exactly an optimal approach. Thank you

Ok, now we have the mapping of color names to color codes (see below) and conversion to rgb (something like Ben Bolker's function), but how to convert rgb to hsv? Thanks to Brian Ripley, Peter Dalgaard and Ben Bolker Details below Regards Jens etc/colors.big maps 455 names to rgb in S syntax etc/rgb.txt maps 657 names to rgb in C syntax, but unlike colors() it has mixed upper and

Hi all, Please, how could I calculate the time that two time segments has in common? Is there any function to perform this calculation? For instance, given four POSIXlt objects... endPeriod<-as.POSIXlt("2008-09-30") startPeriod<-as.POSIXlt("2007-10-01") endProject<-as.POSIXlt("2007-05-31") startProject<-as.POSIXlt("2006-12-01") that limit

Consider all the text that one sees on the console during an R session. Is there a way, within R, to make all this text--both the "output" and the "messages"--automatically get copied to a single text file, in addition to seeing it on the console? If I remember to save the console to a file at the end of my R session, that does it. But (1) That requires pointing and

Hello I have big trouble getting R to work correctly with X11 fonts on Ubuntu Breezy 5.10. I was hoping somebody could help me with this issue. The first part of the problem is that I get the error "could not find any X11 fonts" for any command with graphical ouput, for example "demo(graphics)": ------------------------------------------------------- R : Copyright 2005,

I recently tried to install the latest version of spatstat, from CRAN, using the install.packages() function. It proceeded to install version 1.17-5 of spatstat, although the current version is 1.18-4. Checking the CRAN mirror that I used (New Zealand) via Firefox, I found that version 1.18-4 is indeed present on CRAN. I was able to download and install version 1.18-4 ``manually''

Dear all, For an open-source project that I'm working on (1), which uses R for all its heavy lifting but includes a wrapper shell script, I was hoping to find a way to capture all warnings (and, in fact, errors too), and handle them in my own way. I realise I can do this for a single expression using something like: > f <- function(w) print(w$message) >

Dear list, I'm quite surprised by this, unit(1:5,"char")[-c(1:2)] #4char 3char # what's going on?? while I expected something like, c(1:5)[-c(1:2)] # 3 4 5 Note that, unit(1:5,"char")[c(1:2)] # 1char 2char # fine ?unit warns about unit.c for concatenating, but also says, It is possible to subset unit objects in the normal way (e.g.,
