Hi if I try to import a raster layer which consists only of NULL values from grass by using the readRAST6, I get an error message: > readRAST6("HSericea_seedsDisperse_2007") ERROR: Invalid value for null (integers only) Error in readBinGrid(rtmpfl11, colname = vname[i], proj4string = p4, integer = to_int) : no such file:

Hi I use the following code and it stores the results of density() in the list dr: dens <- function(run) { density( positions$X[positions$run==run], bw=3, cut=-2 ) } dr <- lapply(1:5, dens) but the results are stored in dr[[i]] and not dr[i], i.e. plot(dr[[1]]) works, but plot([1]) doesn't. Is there any way that I can store them in dr[i]? Thanks a lot, Rainer -- Rainer M. Krug,

Hi I am using mathematical anotation to make the labels in a barplot in italics. as an example (adapted from http://finzi.psych.upenn.edu/R/Rhelp02a/archive/129808.html): tt <- c("italic(First~~set)", "italic(Second~~set)", "italic(third~~set") barplot(1:3, names.arg=parse(text=tt)) But I would like to have it with "set" in a second column, like tt

Hi I am using R scripts which are running remotely. To make debugging easier, I would like to have the possibility to execute traceback() automatically when an error occurs. Is this possible?

Hi I would like to implement the "Earth Movers Distance" into R and found the code in C on the following page: http://www.cs.duke.edu/~tomasi/software/emd.htm Unfortunately, I don't know much (nearly nothing) about C and how to call it from R. As far as I have seen, the calling of the code from R should be rather straight forward, but there are still several things I don't

Hi I have a table called npl containing results of simulations. It contains about 19000 entries and the structure looks like this: NoPlants sim run year DensPlants 1 6 lng_cs99_renosterbos 1 4 0.00192 . . . it has 43 different entries for sim and year goes from 1 to 100, and run from 1 to 5. I would like to calculate the mean of DensPlants for each

Hi I am thinking about using Sweave more frequently, especially for documenting code. But the syntax is slightly awkward for me (<<name>>= ... @), and I was thinking if there would be a way of importing the type of code extracted from an Rnw file back into an Rnw file? The advantage would be that the code could run in R without tangling. Obviously, sweave options could not be

Hi I asked about if there is any way of opening URLs from the help browser in the same window of the same dillo browser - here is the answer.

Hi I am trying to utilize my dual core processor (and later a High-performance clusters (HPC) ) by using the Rmpi, snow, snowfall, ... packages, but I am struggling at the beginning, i.e. to initialise the "cluster" on my dual core computer. Whenever I try to initialize it (via sfInit(parallel=TRUE, cpus=2) or mpi.spawn.Rslaves(nslaves=2) ), I get an error message: >

Hi I heard so much about Emacs and ESS that I decided to try it out - but I am stuck at the beginning. Is there anywhere a beginners manual for Emacs & ESS to be used with R? even M-x S tells me it can't start S-Plus - obviously - but I want it to start R... Any help welcome (otherwise I will be stuck with Eclipse and R) Rainer -- Rainer M. Krug, Dipl. Phys. (Germany), MSc

Hi I installed R 2.2.0 from source and want to use install.packages but it doesn't work. http_proxy is set to http://proxy.sun.ac.za:3128 but it still can't connect to the repository.

Hi I have (8 measures * 96 groups) = 768 datasets for which I did linear regressions using lm(). Now I want to compare the slopes for each of the 8 measures in each of the 96 groups. As I understand , I can not use > anova(lm1, ..., lm8) as the lm1 ... lm8 are based on different datasets. I also read in previous discussions in this list, that I can see if the slope +- stddev(slope)

Hi I have the following loop and would like to vectorize it. Any ideas if it is possible? Thanks, Rainer Tha Loop: for (i in 2:Result$NoSims) { ppp <- runifpoint(Result$NoPlants) K <- Kest(ppp) Result$LSim[i,] <- sqrt(K$iso / pi) - K$r CM <- (Result$LSim[i,] * Result$LSim[i,]) / abs(K$r[2] - K$r[1]) Result$SigCM[i] <- sum(CM, na.rm=TRUE) print(i) flush.console() }

Hi I have problems installing R 2.1.1. from rpm (R-base-2.2.0-1.i586.rpm) on SuSE 10. It installs fine, all dependances are OK (at least Yast does not complain) but when I try to run R, it gives the following error message: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/libblas.so.3: undefined symbol: _gfortran_filename and R quits. blas version: 3.0-926 Any help appreciated, Rainer -- -- Rainer M.

Hi I generate a new dataframe by doing: npl.agg <- aggregate(npl$DensPlants, list(year=npl$year, sim=npl$sim), mean, na.rm=TRUE ) Now I want to plot it by using coplot(npl.agg$x ~ npl.agg$year | npl.agg$sim, type="l") but, as npl.agg$year is seen as a factor, the order of the points on the x-axis (time axis) does not follow the numerical sorting 1...100, but rather the text

Hi I have the following code which I would like to simplify. Id does linear regressions and returns the r-squares, and the coefficients. It runs slow, as it is doing the regressions for each - is it possible to get the values in a dataframe which looks as follow: expert | xx | seeds | r.squared | slope | intercept Thanks in advance, Rainer library(reshape) rsqs <- as.data.frame(

Hi I looked, but I didn't find it: I need an array [0 to 101] where each element is a list (the result of Kest in spatstat). I.e. I want to do: A[2] <- Kest(pp1) A[3] <- Kest(pp2) ... A[101] <- Kest(pp100) How can I create A ? Rainer -- Rainer M. Krug, Dipl. Phys. (Germany), MSc Conservation Biology (UCT) Department of Conservation Ecology University of Stellenbosch Matieland

Hi I am using R 2.2.1 under Linux (SuSE 10) and would like to know if it is possible to create graphs, i.e. jpeg(filename=fn) try( coplot( mor$I_Morisita ~ mor$Year | mor$RunStr, show.given=FALSE) ) dev.off() from a text console? It gives me an error message on the jpeg() command: Error in X11(..snip..) unable to start device jpeg In addition: warning message: unable to open connection to
