[R] (no subject)

Hallo.
Could you please tell me if it is possible in R use something 
like for-cycle or conditions with if and then.
I would need to index z from 0 to m and repeat some operations on each of them.
Could you please write me how can I do this?
Thank you very much

Re: [R] How to plot curves with more than 8 colors

 Hi,
 
 I'm a new hand in R language. I have about 20 groups of data[x,y] and

 for (i in c(1:20))
 {
   points(...,...,col=i)
   lines(...,col=i)

 The problem is R only plot them with 8 colors repeatly. Could anyone
 help me solve this problem? Or is there any package providing plot
 function without color limit?


After typing

  ?colors

I get a nice help page that points me to a lot of other functions that 
generate more than 8 colors. Maybe your installation of R is broken and 
you cannot see this help page? You certainly tried to get help on colors 
as well.

There is no limit of the color number in the functions above, simply 
specify the color you want to get. The only color limit applies for the 
device and for most devices and rgb colors this is 256^3.

Re: [R] Seg fault with trace

 I have been unable to reduce this to a simple case, so I'll include my
 full code, and my intentions.  The problem I'm trying to solve is that
 while many defaults (eg. na.rm=F, drop=T) make sense for interactive
 programming, they tend to be a bit of a pain when developing a
 package.  For example, I often forget to use drop=FALSE, only test
 with multiple columns and then spend ages trying to figure out why it
 doesn't work when I use the function with a single column. The idea of
 the functions below is to automatically warn me when I do something
 like that.
 
 trace_all - function(fs, tracer) {
   sapply(fs, trace, tracer=tracer, print=FALSE)
   return()
 }
 
 functions_with_arg - function(arg, pos) {
   fs - ls(pos=pos)
   present - unlist(lapply(fs, function(x) is.function(get(x))  
 !is.null(formals(x)[[arg]])))
   
   fs[present]
 }
 
 trace_all(list(sum), quote(if (!na.rm) warning(na.rm = FALSE)))
 # Works
 trace_all(functions_with_arg(na.rm, package:base), quote(if
 (!na.rm) warning(na.rm = FALSE)))
 # Segfaults
 
 I'd be happy to explore alternative approaches, especially since this
 approach modifies the functions in their original namespaces, and I
 only want to see the warnings when my functions use these functions.


Does not segfault for me with R-2.2.1, neither on Windows nor on Linux.
For any follow-ups I recommend to use the R-devel list for this kind of 
function and probable segfault problems.

[R] Create pdf and postscript files

2005-12-27 Thread David Hajage
Hello,



I would like to learn how to create a pdf and a postscript file from an R
graphic.

For example, I tried :



plot(1)  # example

pdf(H:/Perso/essai.pdf)

postscript(H:/Perso/essai.ps)



But the pdf document created is empty.



How do these functions work ?



Thank you very much.

You opened another device say B.

All your plotting will now go into device B until you close it by

Re: [R] How to plot curves with more than 8 colors

2005-12-27 Thread Vincent Deng
Dear Uwe,

Sorry, I did not describe my question clearly. I created a matrix to
store color code using rgb function.

abc = rgb(6:36,0,0,maxColorValue = 255)

And after running codes like this

for (i in c(1:20))
{
   points(...,...,col=abc[i])
   lines(...,col=abc[i])
}

R still used 8 colors of abc color codes repeatedly to draw the diagram

Any helps?

No, it does not (in fact, all appears to be more or less black on my

plot(1:255, col=rgb(1:255,0,0,maxColorValue = 255))

Re: [R] (no subject)

2005-12-27 Thread John Logsdon
Is Barbara asking a much more basic question that is really RTFM?  

Apart from the apply family of commands, the S language as implemented in
R includes a lot of looping:

m-3
for (z in 0:m){
if(z0){
cat(z non-zero\n)
}else{
cat(z is zero\n)
}
}

gives:

z is zero
z non-zero
z non-zero
z non-zero

As Jacques points out, typing ?Control will give a good overview of the
flow control features available, starting with:

if(cond) expr
if(cond) cons.expr  else  alt.expr

for(var in seq) expr
while(cond) expr
repeat expr
break
next

Following the links at the bottom of that help page will reveal the
richness of R commands (it's easier if you use a browser for help).

I really suggest one of the excellent books on S/R such as MASS.  After
all, as many of these are written by R contributors, it is a way of making
some small financial acknowledgement...:-)

Best wishes and Happy New Year to all

I installed the latest R-package R-2.1.1-1.rh4AS.i686.rpm on a Red Hat
Desktop 4 (RH EL4) machine. When I try to get help by the help.start()
command an error message appears:

-

If '/usr/bin/mozilla' is already running, it is *not* restarted, and
you must switch to its window.
Otherwise, be patient ...

The firefox browser is installed in /usr/lib/firefox-1.0.7 by
default. 

How can I change R's browser path?

Thank you.

options(browser=/usr/bin/firefox)

is one way. Setting the environment variable R_BROWSER (before
starting R) is another. And meddling with the Renviron file, personal
or system-wide, is a third method.

This information does seem to be a bit tricky to dig out from the R
documentation, especially the R_BROWSER bit. I can only find a
somewhat oblique reference in the R-admin manual and of course
?Startup points you towards the Renvironment files and
$RHOME/etc/Renviron demonstrates what you can set and how.

But the problem here is installing an RPM with a missing dependency  
If you are going to install binary versions of R you must be on the 
lookout for such things (which seem quite common, unfortunately).

In this case it is much preferable to install R from the sources (or SRPM) 
to get a current version of R, and then the section `Setting the browser' 
of the R-admin manual is obviously relevant.

Re: [R] Show graph integrated to GUI

2005-12-27 Thread Gregory Snow
The slider function in the TeachingDemos and relax packages (same
function is in both packages you can use either) provides a way to do
this using a Tk window.  There are also several functions in the
TechingDemos package that use a lower level interface to a Tk window
that you can look at their source code as an example to build your own
(examples include: vis.gamma, rotate.persp, and run.power.examp).

Hope this helps,

[R] glmmPQL and variance structure

2005-12-27 Thread Patrick Giraudoux
Dear listers,

glmmPQL (package MASS) is given to work by repeated call to lme. In the 
classical outputs glmmPQL  the Variance Structure is given  as  fixed 
weights,  Formula: ~invwt.  The script shows that the function 
varFixed() is used, though the place where 'invwt' is defined remains 
unclear to me.  I wonder if there is an easy way to specify another 
variance structure (eg varPower, etc..), preferably using an lme object 
of the varFunc classes ? Some trials show that the 'weights' argument of 
glmmPQL is just the same as in glm (which is clearly stated in the help) 
and I wonder actually, if not a nonsense, how to pass eg a 'weights' 
arguments as used in lme (eg weights=varPower()) to specify a variance 
function (in the same way as a correlation structure can be passed easy).

Thanks in advance for any hint,

Patrick

Re: [R] factorial anova

Thanks a lot to all of your responses, I did follow your adivces, but
finnally to really get it understanded I acctually did the work to
calculate the anova step by step on an excel spread sheet to see if I
get the same SS and MS as is aov output, and yes, they are the same, so
John you are right the data is kind of freak... My only preliminary
survye was to make a boxplot of the interaction, where data is acctually
correlated, but I did not expect that this correlation would result in
identical sum of squares between tretment and interaction... kind of
odd...
Thanks again for your comments and suggestions, I learned some new
functions I was not using...

[R] parameterization of factor in R

2005-12-27 Thread Oana Mocila

Hi all,

I encountered this problem with parameterization in R:

I have two factors in a regression. how about if I want to
set constraint so that for each factor, the sum of their
coefficients equals to zero(instead of choosing a reference
category)? for example, I have factor(variable) A(with three
categories) and factor(variable) B(with 4 categories), and I want
to parameterize so that the sum of the three coefficients of
A = 0, and sum of the four coefficients of B = 0? I
mean how to do it in R?

Re: [R] parameterization of factor in R

2005-12-27 Thread Spencer Graves
  If you are not familiar with MASS (Modern Applied Statistics with S, 
4th ed, Venables and Ripley 2002, Springer), I can assure you it is an 
excellent reference for learning R.  There are many books on R that I 
have not read, but among the books in my personal library, I refer to 
MASS fairly frequently.  If it is beyond your budget and not in a local 
library, I encourage you to investigate the possibility of having that 
library obtain a copy.  If the library needs justification, please 
explain what you know of the book, how it became recommended for you, 
the problems you hope it will help you solve, etc.

Set the documentclass in your LaTeX source file to:

  \documentclass[a4paper]{...}

as opposed to:

  \documentclass[letterpaper]{...}


In addition, if you are using latex+dvips, you may need to specify the
a4 papersize on the dvips command line using the '-t' argument:

  dvips -t a4 InputFile.dvi -o OutputFile.ps

if the default system setting is for letterpaper, which will likely be
the case for U.S. based installs.

a4 paper is 210 mm x 297 mm.

There is a TeX FAQ here which might be helpful:

Re: [R] convolution of the double exponential distribution

2005-12-27 Thread Bickel, David
Ravi, Duncan, and Matthias,

Thank you very much for the helpful replies. For convolutions with 2 or
3 copies, I found that the CDFs from the distr package closely match the
analytic results from this paper:
K. Singh, M. Xie, and W. E. Strawderman, Combining Information From
Independent Sources Through Confidence Distributions, Annals of
Statistics 33, no. 1 (2005): 159-183.

That gives me confidence that the package will also work well for higher
copy numbers. At least for me, using the package is much more convenient
than programming all the needed integrals into R.

Re: [R] How to plot curves with more than 8 colors

2005-12-27 Thread Vincent Deng
Hi,

Thanks for your kindly reply.
I think maybe I didn't specify color codes properly. That is,the
difference between each color is not sharp enough for me to identify
them as different colors.

So can you tell me about how to specify the color properly so that the
difference among each color can be identified clearly?

Thanks again and again ...

  store color code using rgb function.
 
  abc = rgb(6:36,0,0,maxColorValue = 255)
 
  And after running codes like this
 
  for (i in c(1:20))
  {
 points(...,...,col=abc[i])
 lines(...,col=abc[i])
  }
 
  R still used 8 colors of abc color codes repeatedly to draw the diagram
 
  Any helps?


 No, it does not (in fact, all appears to be more or less black on my
 screen ;-)). Another example:

 plot(1:255, col=rgb(1:255,0,0,maxColorValue = 255))

  Best Regards...

 I get a nice help page that points me to a lot of other functions that

 you cannot see this help page? You certainly tried to get help on colors
 as well.
 
 There is no limit of the color number in the functions above, simply
 specify the color you want to get. The only color limit applies for the
 device and for most devices and rgb colors this is 256^3.

[R] Regression with partial info about the dependent variable

2005-12-27 Thread maneesh deshpande
Hi,

I have the following problem which I would appreciate some help on.

A variable y  is to be modelled as a  function of  a set of variables 
Vector(x).
The twist is that there is another variable z in  the problem with the 
property that y(i) = z(i).
So the data set is divided into three categories

I.y(i) = z(i)
II.   Both y(i) and z(i) are known and y(i)  z(i)
III.  y(i) is not known but z(i) is known ( But y(i) is guaranteed to be  
z(i) )

The data in categories I + II can be satisfactorily modelled via a OLS 
regression of the form:
y ~ Vec(x)
The question is how to incorporate the information contained in the category 
III data?
The category II data can be used to construct a model for y given z. Indeed 
log(z(i)-y(i))
is reasonably normal and so the following is a decent approximation:
y(i) = z(i) + A*exp( N(0,1) )
This model can be improved by including Vec(x).

After this I am not sure how to proceed :-( :-(

Thanks in advance,

Maneesh

Re: [R] How to plot curves with more than 8 colors

2005-12-27 Thread jim holtman
It might be hard to differentiate between each color with having 255 of
them.  Here is an example of using ColorRampPalette to create a set of
colors.  You can experiment with as many differing ones as you want to to
get the difference that you want:

# use 5 colors to create a sequence (you can add more colors if you want to)
f.c - colorRampPalette(c('red','green','orange','blue','yellow'))(255)
plot(0,type='n', ylim=c(0,255), xlim=c(0,1))
for (i in 1:255) segments(0, i, 1, i, col=f.c[i])

 Hi,

 Thanks for your kindly reply.
 I think maybe I didn't specify color codes properly. That is,the
 difference between each color is not sharp enough for me to identify
 them as different colors.

 So can you tell me about how to specify the color properly so that the
 difference among each color can be identified clearly?

 Thanks again and again ...

[R] R on Mandriva 2006

2005-12-27 Thread Paolo Bulla

Hello anyone,

I'm trying to install R on Mandriva 2006 distribution via rpm file with the 
line 

urpmi R-2.0.0-1mdk.i586.rpm

but I got an error message saying that the file is not accessible due to some 
info problem.

I also tried with a source code in R-2.1.1.tar but I think that there is some 
problem concerning the new version of gcc (4.x), so I downgraded it to gcc 
3.4.5 but it does not work either.

Could anyone help me with this installation, please?
Thanks,
 Paolo

Does anyone know if there is a package or other method of reading Genstat
files directly into R. Genstat isn't listed in the foreign package.

Many thanks,
