Dear R-list members, I have just downloaded R version 2.11.0. Then I installed package gdata. At the end of the installation, a warning message said that package gtools could not be found. Package gdata was, after the installation, included in the "Package Index" in the help files. Messages during installation (which was made through the menu Packages / Instal package(s), choosing the

A general question- and excuse me if you find it irrelevant Are you tracking how many people finally download a specific R version by counting the number of downloads through log/ analytics software like GA etc? If so- can we see some numbers Ajay Websites- http://decisionstats.com http://dudeofdata.com Linkedin- www.linkedin.com/in/ajayohri

Dear R-list members, I am trying to put a legend just outside the plotting area of a graph. 1. Is there some way to plot symbols on the figure margin, in the same way as function "mtext" can write on the margin? 2. Is there some way to use the "legend" function (or some equivalent function) to plot a legend on the figure margin? 3. Any other way to plot either symbols or a

To the R-help list, In the documentation of the prop.trend.test function in the stats package, no bibliography has been provided which would allow one to find out the theoretical basis of that function and/or details of its implementation. May I suggest that some bibliography be included, as it generally happens with other statistical functions. I currently use R 2.8.0 running on Windows XP.

Dear R list members, How to produce barplots anchored to the x-axis (not floating above the x-axis) with a box around? With both following codes, the lower horizontal line of the box is below the y = 0 line: # first code x <- c(1,2,3,4) barplot(x,yaxs='i') box() # second code x <- c(1,2,3,4) op <- par(yaxs='i') barplot(x) box() par(op) The parameter yaxs='i'

Dear R users, The parameters xaxs and yaxs (function par, package graphics) seem not to work with the function hist (package graphics), even when the parameters xlim and ylim are defined. Is there any way to make yaxs="i" and xaxs="i" work properly with the function hist, mainly to produce histograms that "touch" the horizontal axis? The R documentation and the R

Dear R-list members, Once a gam (package gam) model has been fitted with family=poisson, is there some R function that could extract the diagonal elements of the smoother matrix S, to be used in a cross-validation for the selection of the best smoothing parameter, following equation 3.19 on page 48 of the book T.J. Hastie and R.J. Tibshirani, Generalized Additive Models, Chapman and Hall/CRC,

Dear R users, I need to save a graph in jpeg format. After plotting the graph, when the graphics window is active, in the File menu, the Save as / Jpeg / 100% quality correctly saves the graph in jpeg format. But I would like to know, how could I control the resolution (in dpi) of the saved jpeg file? I need to produce a jpeg at 1200 dpi. I have tried also the jpeg function in the package

Dear R-list members, This is in fact a question about statistics, not directly about the R software. The coin package, for conditional inference through permutation methods, has as it main function the function independence_test. One of its parameters is teststat, about which the package documentation says: teststat: "a character, the type of test statistic to be applied: either a

Dear R-list members, I would like to pose a question about the use and results of the glm() function for logistic regression calculations. The question is based on an example provided on p. 229 in P. Dalgaard, Introductory Statistics with R, 2nd. edition, Springer, 2008. By means of this example, I was trying to practice the different ways of entering data in glm(). In his book, Dalgaard

Dear R-list This is just message to inform that the there is an issue with write.fwf in the gdata library (from version 2.5.0 on). It does not seem to accept further arguments to write.table like "eol" as the help file indicates as it stops when executing tmp <- lapply(x, format.info, ...). Great package though - I use it a lot except for this function :) See example below. >

To the R help list, When using a data frame, there is no warning or error message when I refer to a non-existent variable inside the data frame. Example: ##---------------------------------------------- a <- c(1,2,3) b <- c(11,22,33) df <- data.frame(a,b) df ## correct: there is a column in df named 'a' ## the sum is correctly performed sum(df$a==2) ## incorrect: there is

Hello! In my opinion read.fwf()'s behaviour of header is not really useful. Say I have the following data: col1 col2 col3 123 123 123 a b 1234 12 1234 65.4 4.5 Now if I want to read this data into R I can not use read.table due to missing fields. read.table(file="test.txt") Error in scan(file, what, nmax, sep, dec, quote, skip, nlines, na.strings,

Hi everyone, my apologies if I'm overlooking something obvious in the documentation. I'm relatively inexperienced with the (awesome) ff package. My goal is to use the read.table.ffdf() function to call the read.fwf() function and pass through the colClasses and comment.char arguments. The code below shows exactly what doesn't work for me. If the colClasses and comment.char

Running R 1.6.1 Linux Slackware 8.1 233MHZ AMD-K6 96MB RAM Using read.fwf, I tried to open a fixed-width file that of about 4 MB residing in the working directory, using the command below: dat<-read.fwf("sc01aai.dat", widths=fields$length) where fields$lengths is a vector of column widths, 28 to be exact. The data are a mix of character, text, and factor variables. R started

Hello, I am having a problem with write.fwf in Windows. I wrote a code to ingest a number of text files with weather data in them, process them, and then output a text file with two parts: 1) a set of column names, 2) the processed data table. I wrote and tested the program on my Mac, and it worked fine. However, on the windows machine, where I intend the work to be done, when I run the
