Tried to instal Hmisc but got this message, so I assume I have it > utils:::menuInstallPkgs() Warning: package 'Hmisc' is in use and will not be installed ran the demo from Hmisc with no luck... > set.seed(1) > ch <- rnorm(1000, 200, 40) > ecdf(ch, xlab="Serum Cholesterol") Error in ecdf(ch, xlab = "Serum Cholesterol") : unused argument(s) (xlab = "Serum Cholesterol") ran the sample code from stats and it worked... > x <- rnorm(12) > Fn <- ecdf(x) > Fn # a *function* Empirical CDF Call: ecdf(x) x[1:12] = -1.9123, -1.6626, -1.2468, ..., 1.1119, 1.135 > Fn(x) # returns the percentiles for x [1] 1.00000000 0.91666667 0.33333333 0.66666667 0.58333333 0.16666667 0.75000000 0.08333333 0.25000000 0.83333333 0.41666667 0.50000000 > tt <- seq(-2,2, by = 0.1) > 12 * Fn(tt) # Fn is a 'simple' function {with values k/12} [1] 0 1 1 1 2 2 2 2 3 3 3 3 4 4 4 5 5 5 6 6 6 7 7 8 8 8 8 8 8 9 10 10 12 12 12 12 12 12 12 12 12 > -- View this message in context: http://r.789695.n4.nabble.com/2-functions-with-same-name-what-to-do-to-get-the-one-I-want-tp3237788p3237788.html Sent from the R help mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
