Re: [R] Please Help

This is the R-help mailing list. See help(BATCH).

You will need to write the required R commands in a separate script, say 
script.R and then execute it as

  R --no-save  script.R  logfile

You may need to augment the code above to include directory paths etc. 
There are other useful documentations at http://www.r-project.org/

Re: [R] Please help with legend command

 Hi R-ers:
 
 I'm drawing a plot and have used different line types (lty) for
 different race/ethnicity groups. I want a legend that explains what line
 types correspond to the different race/ethnicity groups. I used the
 following code:
 
 
 legend( 1992 , 42  , c(Hispanic , non-Hispanic white (NHW) ,
 non-Hispanic black , AI/AN , Asian ) , lty=1:5 ,cex = .6 , bty='n'
 )
 
 Guess what? The legend box was so narrow that the line types that show
 up in that legend box look essentially the same, because they are short.
 I.e, although a line type might be a long dash followed by a short dash,
 only the long dash shows up in the box. The consequence of this is that
 the race/ethnic group that corresponds to the line type that is only a
 long dash cannot be distinguished from the legend.
 
 How do I stretch that legend box out so as to allow lty to draw longer
 line segments?
 
Hi Phil,
A quick hack is to get a copy of the function:

sink(newlegend.R)
legend
sink()

Get the file into a text editor and first get rid of the

environment: namespace:graphics

at the bottom, then change line 161 to:

w0 - w0 + (4 + x.off) * xchar

and line 212 to:

seg.len - 4

source the new function:

source(newlegend.R)

and your line segments will be twice as long.

Re: [R] Please help.... i know its trivial

2007-04-17 Thread Petr Klasterecky
Patrick Callier napsal(a):
 rownames is the command you want, I think.
 
 rownames(A) - seq(1:8)
 

Yes. More generally
rownames(A) - 1:length(A[,1])

And keep in mind that nobody is going to help you next time, if you 
won't give a clear and informative SUBJECT in your message. Here it 
should have been something like 'wrong row names in subset' or 
'dataframe subset question' etc, certainly not 'please help me, it's 
trivial'...

Btw, there is something like the posting guide for this list (see footer).

[R] Please HELP: Problem with BUILD command

2006-07-31 Thread Zajd, John
Greetings,
 
I am unable to successfully BUILD due to a file that apears to be too
long.
 
I know it it due to the length of a particular R program because if I
remove a line, even a comment line,
from the file it then successfully builds. However, if I add the line
back in, the build fails.
 
The file is only 14Kb long.
 
Any help or suggestions are greatly appreciated.

Re: [R] Please HELP: Problem with BUILD command

2006-07-31 Thread Prof Brian Ripley
As we have said to you before, we need a reproducible example, and it is 
very likely that you are speculating.

There is no 'BUILD' command in R:  do you mean 'R CMD build'?  If so, 
that does not parse any `R program'.

if data.set.2 had dates, you could say

do you have NA values?

Hi Arun,

so to clarify: you want to drop the first
  length(data.set.1)-length(data.set.2)
rows...  so you might say...
  new.ds1 - data.set.1[(-(length(data.set.1)-length(data.set.2)),]
and then add a new column...
  new.ds.combined - cbind(new.ds1, data.set.2)

cheers,
Sean

   data set-1
  
   Date  height
   
   1/11/2005 10
   2/11/2005 23
   3/11/2005 54
   4/11/2005 21
   5/11/2005 22
  
   data set-2
  
   weight
   
   32
   45
   11
  
  
   Now I want to combine this two data sets. i.e. i want to see:
  
  
   Date height   weight
   ---
   3/11/2005 54   32
   4/11/2005 21   45
   5/11/2005 22   11
  
   Can any one give me the required r-code to perform this?
  
   Thanks and regards,
   Arun

[R] Please help on correlation matrix

2006-03-25 Thread stat stat
hi everyone,
   
  Suppose I have three variables a, b, and c each with 10 values. Now I 
construct a corr matrix for them. Now I want to give the names of columns of 
corr matrix as a, b, c, i.e. the first column of corr matrix will have name as 
‘a’ second column with ‘b’ and so on. Can anyone give me any code by which I 
can automatically assign the names of columns of corr matrix which are 
originally the names of variables?
   
  For example suppose next we have 5 variables r1….r5. I want to see the names 
of columns of corr matrix as r1.r5.
   
  Thanks in advance

One of the following, or similar, does what you want. No?

 X-cbind(rnorm(10),rnorm(10),rnorm(10))
 colnames(X)-c(a,b,c)
 cor(X)
  a   b   c
a 1.000  0.29895042  0.19601719
b 0.2989504  1. -0.04794445
c 0.1960172 -0.04794445  1.


 a-rnorm(10);b-rnorm(10);c-rnorm(10);X-cbind(a,b,c)
 cor(X)

This works as long as you have no more than 26 variables.
Suppose your correlation matrix is x.

x - cor(iris[,-5])  # test data
rownames(x) - colnames(x) - letters[1:ncol(x)]

[R] final stages of installing R - please help?

2005-03-29 Thread Jeffrey Gruen, M.D.
Hello,
This morning I downloaded, unzipped, and compiled the latest version of 
R for unix, in my HOME/APPLICATIONS directory.
My current unix machine is a sparc-sun-solaris2.9, running SunOS 5.9.
Here are the last few lines of the output following ./configure:

R is now configured for sparc-sun-solaris2.9
  Source directory:  .
  Installation directory:/usr/local
  C compiler:/usr/local/bin/gcc  -g -O2

  Fortran compiler:  /usr/local/bin/g77  -g -O2
  Interfaces supported:  X11
  External libraries:
  Additional capabilities:
  Options enabled:   R profiling
  Recommended packages:  yes
Then I checked my HOME/APPLICATIONS directory and indeed following the 
compiling, I now had a new bin directory:
HOME/APPLICATIONS/R-2.0.1/bin
And within the bin, I had many new files including an executable 
(theoretically) R file:
-rwxr-xr-x   1 root6099 Mar 29 13:18 R

I then ran 'make'.
Here are the last few lines from the 'make' output to the screen:

I then ran 'make check'.
Here is the output:

I was not sure if the errors were important so I tried additional 'make

make: Nothing to be done for `check'.
# /usr/local/bin/make check-devel
make: *** No rule to make target `check-devel'.  Stop.
# /usr/local/bin/make check-all
make: *** No rule to make target `check-all'.  Stop.

Then I relogged on and tried to execute 'R' in my bin, as either myself 
or even root, but got the same message:
gruen@/home/gruen% R
/usr/local/bin/R: /home/gruen/Applications/R-2.0.1/bin/exec/R: not found

But it does not execute.
Any thoughts?
Thank you!

Looks like it couldn't find the ar program and set it to false. I
don't quite understand why configure allows itself to complete in that
case, but the basic problem could be that you don't have your PATH set
right. I believe the standard version sits in /usr/ccs/bin.
 
 I then ran 'make check'.

Won't do anything useful if you haven't built R succesfully first.

Re: [R] please help with estimation of true correlations and reliabilities

2004-05-14 Thread Jens Oehlschlägel

Dear John,

I checked for the uniquenesses from factanal() and found out that these
estimates need an a priori assumption about the number of latent factors
(and they depend strongly on that assumption). What I want is an estimate of
reliablity independent of such an assumption.  Is it possible to specify
such structure to sem or another SEM software? (no assumption about number
of factors, no assumptions about which variables group together).

RE: [R] please help with estimation of true correlations and reliabilities

2004-05-14 Thread John Fox
Dear Jens,

One of the nice features of maximum-likelihood factor analysis, implemented
in factanal(), is that you can test for the number of common factors.

More generally, the estimated uniquenesses will depend upon the number of
common factors. Using sem() requires a stronger initial specification -- not
only the number of common factors, but a prior specification of which
variables load on each. If you make the model too general, it won't be
identified.

Furthermore, although I suggested that you use the uniquenesses to assess
unreliability, the justification for this is clearest in models in which
each variable loads on just one factor. I guess it would help to know a bit
more about the application.

Regards,
 John

RE: [R] please help with estimation of true correlations andreliabilities

2004-05-13 Thread Jens Oehlschlägel

Dear John,
Dear Joseph,

Thank you for your quick answers and the pointer to semnet. 
I try to clarify on my assumptions:

- yes, I am willing to assume multivariate normality
- no, I don't want to assume a single factor model
- I assume there is an unknown number of factors, and I do not know which
items belong to which factors

but I still want to estimate single item reliabilities

Is this impossible?
How can one specify such unspecified model to sem?
Which (exploratory?) function would me help doing this?
Or just: what should I read?

Thanks for any help

[R] please help with estimation of true correlations and reliabilities

2004-05-13 Thread Jens Oehlschlägel

Can someone point me to literature and/or R software to solve the following
problem:

Assume n true scores t measured as x with uncorrelated errors e , i.e. 
x = t + e 
and assume each true score to a have a certain amount of correlation with
some of the other true scores.

The correlation matrix cx of x will have its off-diagonal entries reduced by
measurement error compared to the true correlation matrix ct of t, however
the diagonal entries remain without attenuation. Consequently the
correlation matrix of observed variables has different things on- and
off-diagonal. 

I would like to estimate 
1) the true correlation matrix ct
2) the measurement reliabilities rxx, i.e. the correlation of a score with
itself attenuated by its measurement error (as if we had two measurements of
the same score).
but I don't have predefined asumptions about structure in the variable set
as I guess would be needed for SEM.

Is R software available to do this?

Best regards

RE: [R] please help with estimation of true correlations andreliabilities

2004-05-13 Thread John Fox
Dear Jens,

It sounds as if you're postulating a single-factor model underlying the x's
(which is an assumption about the structure of the variables). If that's the
case, then you could either use the factanal function in the stats package
or the sem function in the sem package to estimate the model. The former
would be simpler. 

I hope this helps,
 John

1. If you merely want to conduct an exploratory rather than confirmatory
analysis for the relevant paths, there are ways within SEM to do this. (In
this case you could use John Fox's SEM package).
2. If you do not wish to assume multivariate normality, then you may use a
variety of alternative (to maximum likelihood) estimation algorithms
available in most SEM programs.
3. If you do not wish to assume either the outcome variable or the latent
variable is continuous, there are SEM programs for this (Mplus being the
most prominent.)
4. If you do not wish to assume the true score is a linear function (or
generalized linear function for categorical variables) of the attribute
being measured, then you have a more difficult problem.

If presume you are familiar with SEMnet at
http://www.gsu.edu/~mkteer/semnet.html.

Subject: [R] please help with estimation of true correlations and
reliabilities



Can someone point me to literature and/or R software to solve the following
problem:

Assume n true scores t measured as x with uncorrelated errors e , i.e. 
x = t + e 
and assume each true score to a have a certain amount of correlation with
some of the other true scores.

The correlation matrix cx of x will have its off-diagonal entries reduced by
measurement error compared to the true correlation matrix ct of t, however
the diagonal entries remain without attenuation. Consequently the
correlation matrix of observed variables has different things on- and
off-diagonal. 

I would like to estimate 
1) the true correlation matrix ct
2) the measurement reliabilities rxx, i.e. the correlation of a score with
itself attenuated by its measurement error (as if we had two measurements of
the same score). but I don't have predefined asumptions about structure in
the variable set as I guess would be needed for SEM.

Is R software available to do this?

Best regards


Jens Oehlschlägel

2004-05-13 Thread John Fox
Dear Jens,

If you're willing to assume multinormality but don't have in mind a
specific model to estimate, then why not use factanal? The uniquenesses
are estimates of the unreliability of the items.

I hope this helps,
 John

 Dear John,
 Dear Joseph,
 
 Thank you for your quick answers and the pointer to semnet. 
 I try to clarify on my assumptions:
 
 - yes, I am willing to assume multivariate normality
 - no, I don't want to assume a single factor model
 - I assume there is an unknown number of factors, and I do not know
 which
 items belong to which factors
 
 but I still want to estimate single item reliabilities
 
 Is this impossible?
 How can one specify such unspecified model to sem?
 Which (exploratory?) function would me help doing this?
 Or just: what should I read?
 
 Thanks for any help

How did you get this error message?  It would help if you put your codes

But I'm guessing it is because you typed something like:

Try to use C:/MikeWeather2.txt or C:\\MikeWeather2.txt.

If your working directory contains a file you want to read then the
following should work:

  dat - read.table(filename.txt)

If you want to use absolute paths, you have to be careful with the '\'
because that is an escape character... so try:

  dat - read.table(c:/some/path/notice/forward/slashes/data.txt)
  # or
  dat - read.table(c:\\double\\back\\should\\work\\data.txt)

I think you may be trying too hard.  Look at Extract.data.frame.Rd and 
Extract.factor.Rd.  I would just have an Extract.refdata.Rd.

You only need the  \methods{generic}{class} notation when you want to 
document a generic and a method, or more than one method, in the same help 
file.  And at present the Perl conversion does not cope with regexp

I'm not sure where such a work directory might be, but it sounds like 
you need to show a TA what you did.

It sounds like you need to carefully read the FAQ.

help.start()

the follow the Frequently Asked Questions link, and (if you're using R 
on windows) the FAQ for Windows Port

then, I use read.table(filename), not work; I tried the full path, still

Quite likely.  But without more details, there's no way to say more. 
There isn't only one way to make a mistake, so there isn't one answer to 
it didn't work.

Read the FAQ.  It really does help.  Read it carefully, and not in a 
frame of mind where you're saying to yourself I'll never understand 
this, this can't possibly help.  You will, it can.

2) is it possible to create a data file in R instead of put data in a txt
file and then save the file under R?
Yes, after you've got a grip on the above.  *After* the above is clear, 
read the help pages for save and load.

Read the FAQ.

I tried to find answer from the introduction, failed.
But not the FAQ, presumably.

I really appreciate your help, thank you very much.
No problem.  By the way, read the FAQ.

I'm surprised that it didn't work with the full path.  I assume
the error message indicated that it could not find the file, as
opposed to some other sort of error.  Relative paths work too.

You don't say what operating system you are using, and it
probably matters.  But on Linux/Unix I usually start R from the
directory where the data files are, and I have several of these
for different projects.  (Actually I use ESS, so I start R from
within (X)emacs.  When I say alt-x, R, I'm asked for a directory,
and, if I'm not already in that directory, I enter it using a
relative path name.)

In sum, at least in Unix/Linux, you can put your data anywhere,
and either you start R from where the data are or you use a
relative or full path name.

2) is it possible to create a data file in R instead of put data in a txt
file and then save the file under R?

Yes, but this isn't the best way to do things unless the data
file is pretty small.  You can use c().  It is sometimes helpful
to use matrix() with the argument horiz=T as in Example 2 in
Advanced analysis of variance examples in
http://www.psych.upenn.edu/~baron/rpsych/rpsych.html

See also scan() - that is, look at the help for it.

And you can also use edit().  For example:
m1 - matrix(0,5,5)
m2 - edit(m1)

To save the object you've created, use write(), write.table(),
write.matrix(), dput(), or save().  These differ in formatting
and in how you read it back in.

The working directory is the one you are starting R in, or what you have
set with setwd(). It's not a good idea to create a working directory
within the library section. Specifying the full path should always work.

What you did wrong is:
- not reading the manual An Introduction to R carefully
- not reading the manual R Data Import/Export
- beeing to unspecific. After having read the manuals and help pages,
you may ask a specific question, but including error messages and code

Yes. Exporting Data (including ASCII formats) is also covered in the R

i just heard of a friend of mine, that i could build in a functioon called
fragpoly (he was talking of such a function in the 'stata' language) in order
to improve my process of finding an optimal linear model.

instead of trying a vast amount of transformed inputdata to find the best
fit and then step backwards down to e.g. rank 5 in order to get a smooth curve,
i could start right from the beginning with only very few but therefore very
flexible funktions (litle similar to box-plot) which adopt themselve
automaticaly to an optimal fitt and r-squered.

can anyone tell me if such a flexible adoptive function also exists in r+?

I don't think there is anything currently available for fractional

You could construct an equivalent fairly easily using step(), or you could
use local polynomials or splines.
