I think the datasets you're talking about can be downloaded at http://wwwmaths.anu.edu.au/~johnm/r/dsets/ put these in your working directory and type (in R), e.g. source(dolphins.R) You can see you have the data now by typing: dolphins wt heart logweight logheart species 1 35 245

Are there enough geochemists using R already that he'd find like-minded people to discuss technical issues with if he _did_ switch to R? Is there a package somewhere already that does ternary and other geochemistry diagrams? Another possibility for a ternary plot was mentioned by Prof Ripley

Sir Dalgaard, Thank you for your kind reply. In what way am I ill-treating R ? You're ill-treating the readers by not giving a full example of a call to the function... ax.to.nax.for(qx, ax) However: in the for loop, i will be one of 0,1,5,10 and n is the vector c(1,4,5,5) so

[R] `acting' on variables

Dear list, How can one from within a function act on these variables (outside a function) that were given as arguments. If I have e.g. this beginning of a function: foo - function(tiro){ app.tiro - 3 * tiro [...] } How can I from within the curly brackets e.g. concatenate the app.tiro to the

Dear Thomas, What about the following function? iterate-function(f,n,x){ if(n==0) return(x) y-x for(i in 1:n)y-f(y) y } iterate(sqrt,3,256) Thank you very much, this certainly helps. I'm still curious, though, to know how to write the expression of my function immediately as
