[R] problem understanding the result of pnorm2d()

2009-02-24 Thread jass

Hi all,

I am using the fMultivar package for calculating probabilities of bivariate 
normal distribution. I use the manual's example to understand what is going on, 
but let's take it for smaller dimensions of x and y: 

## Bivariate Normal Density:
x = c(0.3,10)
y = c(-10,0.2)
X = grid2d(x,y)
z = pnorm2d(X$x, X$y, rho = 0.5)
Z = list(x = x, y = y, z = matrix(z, ncol = length(x)))
persp(Z, theta = -40, phi = 30, col = steelblue) 

What does the grid2d() command do?
In the Z- result in the matrix, I really cannot figure out where the 4 
probabilities are referring to. Can anyone enlighten me?
Thank you for your time!

[R] anova() or aov()?

2009-01-12 Thread jass

Dear all,

I have a simple (I think) question that is troubling me lately:

Is there any main difference between anova() command and aov() command when 
performing an ANOVA in Experimental design 
analyses?

Thank you for your time,

Ismini

[R] what is there in a numeric (0)?

2008-11-27 Thread jass

 Hello!
 I will repeat my question :what is there in a numeric(0)?

 In a function, I have several matrices with dimensions 288x1, also matrices 
with dimensions  
 0x1 (numeric(0)).
 But I really do not know in which matrix there are elements or not.
 So, these matrices that do not contain anything, if I am saying this 
correctly, I would like to make them
 matrices with the same dimensions as the first ones but with NA elements and 
the ones with elements to remain as they 
 are.
 For this reason, I thought to use the ifelse command. But I have problems 
determining the arguments of this ifelse...
 I tried to use: 
 A1 - ifelse(nrow(A)==0,matrix(rep(NA,288),288,1),A)

 If A is a matrix with elements, then I get a A1 matrix with replicated 288 
times its first element, but I want the  
 initial A matrix. If A is a matrix with no elements (numeric(0)) then I get 
only 1 NA.  
 
So, how can I test if there are elements in my matrix and if there are to 
return itself the matrix and if there are not to get a matrix 288x1 with NAs?
Thank you for your time!

[R] a date x-axis in a xyplot

2008-11-04 Thread jass

Dear all,

In the x-axis of a xyplot I define dates ,for example 01-10-2007 instead of 
numbers, in a range of 77 days. I would like in my output to have the whole 
date as a point. When I plot it, then the output is a big mess! I can not 
distinguish anything; the result is a thick, black line of overlapping dates.
Is there any solution so I can really distinguish and see clearly the dates in 
the x-axis?

Thanks in advance!

[R] difficulties in reading a .prn file

2008-10-29 Thread jass

Hello,

I am having problems in reading appropriately a huge .prn file of almost 
450.000 rows and 29 columns.
The variables are consisted of characters, dates, time, numeric values.
I use read.table(file.prn, header=F, sep=\t, na.strings=*), where the 
missing values are declared as *.
The R engine is reading it like it, but when I am asking for the dimensions of 
the data frame I get the right number of rows but only 1 column...
dim(file)
[1] 422344  1

It is somehow as it reads the whole row as one column.
When I am asking for the first 3 lines for example I got the message that R is 
reading everything as factors and I get something like this below:
