Re: [R] No ~ in JGR

Hello all!
I´ve just installed JGR on my both R-equipped computers and am very 
pleased with the look and functionality.


Except in one, very important, way.

I can´t figure out how to get the ~ sign from the keyboard to the 
console. Copying it from old code works fine. Using the traditional GUI 
works as usual.


I have a Swedish keyboard layout, where ~ shares key with ¨ and ^, all 
reguiring a space after the hit to produce the sign on the screen.


The other signs from the key works, but AltGr + ~ followed by space just 
gives a blank. What do I do wrong?


Probably nothing, or we're both doing something wrong.

I'm experiencing the same thing, and the asked the JGR developers about 
it some time ago. See the thread that starts with

Re: [R] Soil texture triangle in R?

2005-05-28 Thread Sander Oom

Hi Jim,

Your email was classified as spam, so I missed it previously. 
Unfortunately you did not send a cc to the R-help list. I send a cc to 
the mailing list now, so all code gets archived.


Thanks for the improvements on your function! It seems that drawing the 
ternary graph and the points with the generic plot functions works well. 
Makes the function less dependent on other packages!


Will merge the two functions into one and post it back to the mailing 
list! Then the graph might be ready for the graph gallery!


Thanks,

Sander.

Wonder whether triangle.plot{ade4} will give more flexibility!?

Both for map() in the maps package and plot.Map() and plot.polylist() in 
the maptools package, there are three things to sort out. Firstly, are the 
map polygons the same, and in the same order as the data you want to map? 
Next, which palette of colours do you want to use (the RColorBrewer 
palettes are well-chosen)? And finally, which breakpoints will you use 
for the class intervals to divide the data into colours?

If the breakpoints are brks:

cols <- brewer.pal(length(brks)-1, "your choice of palette)
col_choices <- findInterval(data, brks, all.inside=TRUE)

and your data are the same length and in the same order as the polygons, 
thematic maps are not too difficult.

read.spss() is part of the "foreign" package, which is installed as part
of the base R installation, but it is not loaded by default.

Thus, you need to use:

 library(foreign)
 read.spss(...)

See ?library and page 74 in "An Introduction to R".

If you have trouble finding page 74 of Introduction to R, you can get
the information that Marc suggested you read by doing the following. At
the R prompt enter
 
help.start()
 
Then when you see the web page "Statistical Data Analysis R", click on

library(foreign)
read.spss(...)

Re: [R] Errors in Variables

2005-05-28 Thread Eric-Olivier Le Bigot
I'm interested in this "2D line fitting" too!  I've been looking, without 
success, in the list of R packages.


It might be possible to implement quite easily some of the formalism that you 
can find in Numerical Recipes (Fortran 77, 2nd ed.), paragraph 15.3.  As a 
matter of fact, I did this in R but only for a model of the form y ~ x (with 
a given covariance matrix between x and y).  I can send you the R code 
(preliminary version: I wrote it yesterday), if you want.


Another interesting reference might be Am. J. Phys. 60, p. 66 (1992).  But, 
again, you would have to implement things by yourself.


All the best,

[R] Forcing ticks in plot for hclust object outside the limits

2005-05-28 Thread Aleš Žiberna

Hello!

I have the following problem.

I would like to plot the hclust object "hcd" (bellow, at the end of the 
mail) with ticks at seq(0.05,0.25,by=0.05). I tried using the code

plot(hcd)
and
plot(hcd,axes=FALSE)
axis(2,seq(0.05,0.25,by=0.05))

In both cases, the resoult is the same, ticks at 0.05 and 0.25 are not 
printed. I tried changing the ylim argumet in plot, however I got a warning 
"parameter "ylim" couldn't be set in high-level plot() function".


I would like to force those two ticks. Can this be done with axis or plot, 
or should I use "lines"?


Thanks in advance for any suggestions!

Not easy with the plot method for a hclust object, because 0.05 and 0.25 
are getting clipped, because they are out od the "usr" coordinated of 
the plot.


Of course you could hack plot.hclust (in Namespace stats) by modifying 
.../R/library/src/stats/R/hclust.R as follows (in order to provide a 
proper ylim argument):


diff hclust.R-orig hclust.R

91c91,92
<   sub = NULL, xlab = NULL, ylab = "Height", ...)
---
>   sub = NULL, xlab = NULL, ylab = "Height",
>   ylim = NULL, ...)
116c117,120
< .Internal(dend.window(n, merge, height, hang, labels, ...))
---
> height2 <- height
> if(!is.null(ylim))
> height2 <- c(range(ylim), rep(ylim[1], length(height) - 2))
> .Internal(dend.window(n, merge, height2, hang, labels, ...))


Note that this quick hack is a *dirty* solution.

Re: [R] Soil texture triangle in R?

2005-05-28 Thread Sander Oom

Dear R users,

Please find attached a new plot function, plot.soiltexture, to plot soil 
texture data on a triangular plot with an optional backdrop of the USDA 
soil texture classification, written by Jim Lemon and me.


I tried to write the function and documentation confirm the R 
conventions. However, this is a new experience for me, so any comments 
and suggestions are welcome!


I tried to find a suitable package for the plot function, but none are 
obvious.


I have approached Todd Skaggs to ask permission to include sample data 
from the paper:
Skaggs, T.H., L.M. Arya, P.J. Shouse, and B.P. Mohanty. 2001. Estimating 
particle-size distribution from limited soil texture data. Soil Sci. 
Soc. Am. J., 65:1038-1044.

http://soil.scijournals.org/cgi/content/full/65/4/1038

Things still to do:
- rotate axis labels;
- rotate axis tick labels
- provide option to plot ticks inside or outside plot area.

Thus making it look like:
http://soils.usda.gov/technical/manual/images/fig3-16_large.jpg
or
http://soil.scijournals.org/content/vol65/issue4/images/large/1038f2.jpeg

Enjoy,

Sander.

#   soil.names=TRUE, soil.lines=TRUE, show.points=TRUE,
#   show.clabels=FALSE, show.grid=FALSE, show.legend=FALSE, 
#   col.names="grey", col.lines="grey", bg.pch="white",
#   col.grid="grey", lty.grid=3)
# 
# Arguments
#
# soiltexture   a matrix with three columns (see details)
# main  title of the plot; defaults to NULL
# pch   variable or vector containing point symbols; defaults to 1
# col   variable or vector containing point colour; defaults to black
# soil.namesa logical value indicating whether the soil texture class names 
are printed; defaults to TRUE
# soil.linesa logical value indicating whether the soil texture class 
division lines are plotted; defaults to TRUE
# show.points   a logical value indicating whether the soil sample points are 
plotted; defaults to TRUE
# show.clabels  a logical value indicating whether the corner labels for 100% 
sand, silt and clay are printed; defaults to FALSE
# show.grid a logical value indicating whether the fixed grid is plotted; 
defaults to FALSE
# show.legend   a logical value indicating whether the legendis plotted; 
defaults to FALSE

# col.lines colour of the soil texture class division lines; defaults to 
grey
# bg.pchcolour of the points symbols when pch 21:25 are used; defaults 
to white
# col.grid  colour of the fixed grid; defaults to grey
# lty.grid  line style for the fixed grid; defaults to 3
#
# Details
# 
# The object soiltexture must be a matrix with at least three columns and one 
row.
# Columns should contain data for Sand, Silt, and Clay, in that order! Sand, 
Silt, 
# and Clay should be expressed in proportions between 0 and 1.
#
# The soil sample points' coordinates are calculated using simple trigonometry.
# Thus, the coordinates of a point P(Sand,Silt,Clay), where Sand + Silt + Clay 
= 1,
# are: P(1-Sand+(Sand-(1-Silt))*0.5, Clay*sin(pi/3))

Re: [R] Errors in Variables

	  I'm sorry, I have not followed this thread, but I wonder if you have 
considered library(sem), "structural equations modeling"?  "Errors in

	  Also, have you done a search of "www.r-project.org" -> search -> "R 
site search" for terms like "errors in variables regression"?  This just 
led me to "ODRpack", which is NOT a CRAN package but is apparently 
available after a Google search.  If it were my problem, I'd first try 
to figure out "sem";  if that seemed too difficult, I might then look at 
"ODRpack".


	  Also, have you read the posting guide!

Re: [R] Lag selection

2005-05-28 Thread Spencer Graves

  What kind of problem?  For one variable or more?

	  What have you tried?  For only a single time series, the standard 
approach that I learned from Box and Jenkins, Time Series Analysis, 
Forecasting and Control, starts by preparing both acf and pacf, both of 
which are functions in R.  If the acf shows only 1, 2 or 3 significant 
spikes, it suggests a moving average only model of the indicated order. 
 If the pacf shows only 1, 2, or 3 significant spikes, that suggests an 
autogregression only model.  If the acf shows very high autoregressions 
of all orders with very slow decay, it suggests at least one difference. 
 If both acf and pacf show reasonable, possibly oscillating decay with 
no clear cut-off, then I'd first try an ARMA(1,1), then look at the 
residuals and expand the model as needed.


	  Finally, have you read the posting guide! 
http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html?  This suggests, among other

things, that you provide a toy example that a potential respondant could
easily copy from your email, test a few modifications, and prase a reply

respondants are more likely to suggest something that is actually useful
