Try this:
a <- 1:3
b <- 4:5
c <- matrix(1:12, 2,6, byrow=TRUE)
outFile <- file("SpecificFormat.txt", "w")
cat(paste(a, sep=" "), "\n", file=outFile)
cat(paste(b, sep=" "), "\n", file=outFile)
for (j in 1:nrow(c))
{
cat(paste(c[j,], collapse="\t"), "\n", file=outFile)
}
close(outFile)
Resulting output file (with spaces or tabs as specified):
1 2 3
4 5
1 2 3 4 5 6
7 8 9 10 11 12
[But I normally avoid tabs since you cannot "see" them easily with many
editors.]

In this case a device is creating the INI files as part of an experiment, so
the file format cannot be changed (at least easily).
I've looked at XML files from time to time and I'm amazed more don't
complain how bloated, if not wasteful, they are. I've seen XML files that
were megabytes long when they held kilobytes worth of data. INI files may
be ancient, but they can be efficient and effective compared with XML. In
some cases, "newer" may not really be better (but "newer" may have the
"momentum" behind it).

Thanks for your helpful suggestions, Gabor. Perhaps your "zoo" option is
more elegant, but I try to use as few packages as possible, so this option
seemed the best for me.
Since in my problem the structure of the INI sections is almost static and
always present, I extended your example to create an in-memory list of
everything in the INI file with this function:
# Prototype of how to read INI files to process olfactometer data
# efg, 13 June 2007
# Thanks to Gabor Grothendieck for helpful suggestions in the R-Help
# mailing list on how to parse the INI file.
Parse.INI <- function(INI.filename)
{
connection <- file(INI.filename)
Lines <- readLines(connection)
close(connection)
Lines <- chartr("[]", "==", Lines) # change section headers
connection <- textConnection(Lines)
d <- read.table(connection, as.is = TRUE, sep = "=", fill = TRUE)
close(connection)
L <- d$V1 == ""# location of section breaks
d <- subset(transform(d, V3 = V2[which(L)[cumsum(L)]])[1:3],
V1 != "")
ToParse <- paste("INI.list$", d$V3, "$", d$V1, " <- '",
d$V2, "'", sep="")
INI.list <- list()
eval(parse(text=ToParse))
return(INI.list)
}
Here's an example of using the above function (I'll put the sample input
file below):
INI1 <- Parse.INI("sample.ini")
# Explore INI contents
summary(INI1)
INI1$SystemSetup$OlfactometerCode
INI1$DefaultLevels

I understand this:

So how can I get a "longlong" (i.e., 64-bit = 8-byte integers) in my
environment? Where is there no storage.mode of "longlong" or "int64"?
I'm reading electrophysiology data with a time stamp that's in a 64-bit
integer (it's a microsecond clock count) but I'm getting negative values
returned in R:
# Why no warning if this call doesn't return an 8-byte integer?
TimeStamp <- readBin(connection, integer(), size=8, 1)
[1] -311761023
[1] -311756172
I can get the hex values of these numbers like this:
TimeStamp <- readBin(connection, raw(), 8)
[1] 81 e7 6a ed 01 00 00 00
[1] 74 fa 6a ed 01 00 00 00
I can see what these number should be by converting to decimal in Excel:
=HEX2DEC("01ed6ae781")
8278173569
=HEX2DEC("01ed6afa74")
8278178420
How can I get these 8-byte integers in R so I don't have to use this ugly
kludge?
# KLUDGE
TimeStamp <- readBin(connection, integer(), size=4, 2)
> TimeStamp
[1] -311761023 1
# Convert integers to doubles since a double has larger range for integers
than 32-bit integers:

# This seems to work, but is too ugly:

Can anyone suggest a better way?

Re: [R] Gaussian Adaptive Quadrature
"Ravi Varadhan" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote in message news:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > The terminology "Gaussian quadrature" is not restricted to Gauss-Hermite > quadrature (where exp(-x^2) is the weight function), but applies more > broadly to Gauss-Legendre, Gauss-Laguerre, etc., where the abscissa are > chosen from Legendre, Laguerre polynomials. Also, the functional form of the integrand and limits of integration vary a bit with the different Gaussian Quadrature methods. With Gaussian Quadrature the integral from a to b of f(x) dx is approximated as the sum of certain weights multiplied by the function evaluated at certain points related to the roots of the orthogonal polynomials. Gauss-Legendre is perhaps the most general, since it works well with most functions over a fixed, finite, interval, normally [-1,1]. The Legendre polynomials are orthogonal on the interval [-1,1] with respect to a weighting function w(x) = 1. A simple transformation allows the integration interval to be any finite interval, [a,b]. Gauss-Laguerre assumes a weighting function w(x) = exp(-x) in the integrand, and an interval of integration from 0 to infinity. Gauss-Hermite assumes a weighting function w(x) = exp(-x^2) in the integrand, and an interval of integration from -infinity to infinity. Applied Numerical Methods by Carnahan et al provides good details and examples (but in FORTRAN). One "adaptive" approach that can be used with Gaussian Quadrature is to use a different number of terms to evaluate the integral. To save computation time, you can use fewer terms. This file gives the weights needed for various N-point Gauss-Legendre quadrature approximation: http://www.math.ntnu.no/num/nnm/Program/Numlibc/gauss_co.c Some years ago on a project we found that 2-point Gaussian Quadrature gave us an answer that was "good enough," and obviously was quite fast with so few function evaluations. For your problem you might try 2-point to 15-point quadrature to see if you get the desired accuracy. I've always used pre-computed polynomial roots and weights for the various N-point formulas. I'm not sure how gauss.quad in library(statmod) gets these values. It wasn't obvious to me from a quick look at the source code. Another "adaptive" Gaussian approach might break a single integral up into a number of other integrals. One could even use different N-point formulas over different intervals, using lower N for "smoother" areas, and larger N if a function wasn't so well-behaved.

[R] Suggestion about "R equivalent of Splus peaks() function"
In 2004 there was this R-Help posting from Jan 2004:
http://finzi.psych.upenn.edu/R/Rhelp02a/archive/33097.html
R equivalent of Splus peaks() function?
The peaks function there has worked well for me on a couple of projects, but
some code using "peaks" failed today, which had worked fine in the past.
I was looking for a peak in a test case that was a sine curve over one
cycle, so there should have been only one peak. My unexpected surprise was
to sometimes get one peak, or two adjoining peaks (a tie), but the no peaks
case cause subsequent code to fail. I wanted to eliminate this "no peak"
case when there was an obvious peak.
I thought it was odd that the peak failure could be controlled by the random
number seed.
# R equivalent of Splus peaks() function
# http://finzi.psych.upenn.edu/R/Rhelp02a/archive/33097.html
peaks <- function(series,span=3)
{
z <- embed(series, span)
s <- span%/%2
v <- max.col(z) == 1 + s
result <- c(rep(FALSE,s),v)
result <- result[1:(length(result)-s)]
result
}
> set.seed(19)
> peaks(c(1,4,4,1,6,1,5,1,1),3)
[1] FALSE TRUE FALSE FALSE TRUE FALSE TRUE
> peaks(c(1,4,4,1,6,1,5,1,1),3)
[1] FALSE TRUE FALSE FALSE TRUE FALSE TRUE
> peaks(c(1,4,4,1,6,1,5,1,1),3)
[1] FALSE TRUE TRUE FALSE TRUE FALSE TRUE
> peaks(c(1,4,4,1,6,1,5,1,1),3)
[1] FALSE FALSE FALSE FALSE TRUE FALSE TRUE
> peaks(c(1,4,4,1,6,1,5,1,1),3)
[1] FALSE FALSE TRUE FALSE TRUE FALSE TRUE
Above, the "4" peak at positions 2 and 3 is shown by the TRUE and FALSE in
positions 2 and 3 above. Case 4 of FALSE, FALSE was most unexpected -- no
peak.
I studied the peaks code and found the problem seems to be in max.col:
> z
[,1] [,2] [,3]
[1,]441
[2,]144
[3,]614
[4,]161
[5,]516
[6,]151
[7,]115
> max.col(z)
[1] 2 3 1 2 3 2 3
> max.col(z)
[1] 2 2 1 2 3 2 3
> max.col(z)
[1] 1 2 1 2 3 2 3
> max.col(z)
[1] 2 2 1 2 3 2 3
> max.col(z)
[1] 1 3 1 2 3 2 3
> max.col(z)
[1] 2 2 1 2 3 2 3
The ?max.col help shows that it has a ties.method that defaults to "random".
I want a peak, any peak if there is a tie, but I don't want the case that a
tie is treated as "no peak". For now, I added a "first" parameter to
max.col in peaks:
# Break ties by using "first"
peaks <- function(series,span=3)
{
z <- embed(series, span)
s <- span%/%2
v <- max.col(z, "first") == 1 + s
result <- c(rep(FALSE,s),v)
result <- result[1:(length(result)-s)]
result
}
A better solution might be a ties.method parameter to peaks, which can be
passed to max.col.
I did all of this in R 2.4.1, but the problem seems to be in earlier
versions too.
Just in case anyone else is using this "peaks" function.

I installed all known CRAN packages after installing R 2.4.1 last week on a

Thanks. That's a much better function.
But if your process a lot of packages, even with just safeRequire (or
findfuns), the search() path grows quite long, and things break, so it's not
really possible to get a list of all functions in R if you have all packages
installed.
Consider:
pkgs <- dir(.Library)
length(pkgs)#957
length( search() ) # 9
# First 100 Packages
set1 <- lapply(pkgs[1:100], safeRequire)
pkgs[which(!unlist(set1))]
#[1] "bcp" "cairoDevice" "caMassClass"
length( search() ) # 135
safeRequire("bcp")
Loading required package: bcp
Loading required package: DNAcopy
Warning in library(pkg, character.only = TRUE, logical = TRUE, lib.loc =
lib.loc) :
there is no package called 'DNAcopy'
[1] FALSE
########
In the 2nd 100 many packages seem to be affected by the "Maximal number of
DLLs reached..."
I didn't bother trying to process packages 201 through 957.

I've been working with one of our labs here to find "cyclic" genes from
microarray data. The supplement for the paper we published is here (I
haven't bothered making the code general enough for a package yet):
http://research.stowers-institute.org/efg/2005/LombScargle/index.htm
Normally we only have about 20 to 50 points in our time series for each
gene. With missing data a problem, I used a "Lomb-Scargle" approach to find
the periodicity. With Fourier analysis, one must impute any missing data
points, but with Lomb-Scargle you just process the data you have without any
imputation.
Perhaps you or your students would be interested in the "Numerical
Experiments" on this page
http://research.stowers-institute.org/efg/2005/LombScargle/supplement/NumericalExperiments/index.htm
I was curious how well the Lomb-Scargle technique would work with your
data -- see the R code below. Normally the Lomb-Scargle periodogram shows
a single peak when there is a single dominant frequency. The Peak
Significance curve for all your data is a difficult to interpret, and I'm
not sure the statistical tests are valid (without some tweaks) for your size
dataset.
I took a random sample of 50 of your ~3000 data points and analyzed those --
see the second code block below. [For 50 data points I know all the
assumptions are "good enough" for the statistics being computed.] The
periodogram here shows a single peak for period 365.6 days, which has good
statistical significance. Other subset samples can show harmonic
frequencies, sometimes.

Maybe this will get you started using fft or spectrum -- I'm not sure why
the spectrum answer is only close:
air = read.csv("http://www.hydrology.uni-kiel.de/~schorsch/air_temp.csv";)
TempAirC <- air$T_air

N <- length(Time)

plot(TempAirC ~ Time)
# Using fft
transform <- fft(TempAirC)
# Extract DC component from transform
dc <- Mod(transform[1])/N
periodogram <- round( Mod(transform)^2/N, 3)
# Drop first element, which is the mean
periodogram <- periodogram[-1]
# keep first half up to Nyquist limit
periodogram <- periodogram[1:(N/2)]
# Approximate number of data points in single cycle:
print( N / which(max(periodogram) == periodogram) )
# plot spectrum against Fourier Frequency index
plot(periodogram, col="red", type="o",
xlab="Fourier Frequency Index", xlim=c(0,25),
ylab="Periodogram",
main="Periodogram derived from 'fft'")
# Using spectrum
s <- spectrum(TempAirC, taper=0, detrend=FALSE, col="red",
main="Spectral Density")
plot(log(s$spec) ~ s$freq, col="red", type="o",
xlab="Fourier Frequency", xlim=c(0.0, 0.005),
ylab="Log(Periodogram)",

cat("Max frequency\n")
maxfreq <- s$freq[ which(max(s$spec) == s$spec) ]
# Period will be 1/frequency:

Any recommendations on how to trap problems with "require" when using
findfuns? One bad package and the lapply above doesn't return anything.
For example:
> findfuns("bcp")
Loading required package: bcp
Loading required package: DNAcopy
Error: package 'DNAcopy' could not be loaded
In addition: Warning message:
there is no package called 'DNAcopy' in: library(pkg, character.only = TRUE,

Loading required package: bcp
Loading required package: DNAcopy
Error: package 'DNAcopy' could not be loaded
In addition: Warning message:
there is no package called 'DNAcopy' in: library(pkg, character.only = TRUE,
logical = TRUE, lib.loc = lib.loc)
I used "try" around the "require" call with "options(error=recover)" with
"recover" defined to be a do nothing function to avoid the stop, but then
there were other problems (e.g., "unable to load shared library ...
LoadLibrary Failure: The specified module could not be found" and "Maximal
number of DLLs reached")
Besides "bcp" I saw problems with other packages, e.g., cairoDevice,
caMassClass, ... several others.
I'm using R 2.4.1with all CRAN packages installed that existed last week and
at least several Bioconductor packages installed by the biocLite procedure.

Re: [R] counties in different colours using map()
The following example shows how to get/display the county names:
library(maps)
# Get County Data
m <- map('county', 'colorado', plot=FALSE)
names(m)
m$names # State,County names
# The names appear to be in alphabetical order by state, e.g.:
> m$names[1:3]
[1] "colorado,adams""colorado,alamosa" "colorado,arapahoe"
# Show county names on map
map.text('county', 'colorado', proj='bonne', param=45)
# Show county indices on map
map.text('county', 'colorado', proj='bonne', param=45,
labels=paste(1:length(m$names)))
#or perhaps
map.text('county', 'colorado', proj='bonne', param=45,
labels=paste(1:length(m$names)), col=1:length(m$names))
You can use your own labels vector above to show county abbreviations
instead of full names, or other info, if desired.
Once you get the mapping of the counties, you can connect to other sources
of information.

Hi,
I would like to plot a map of US counties using different colors. map()
seems to be the function to use, e.g.
library(maps); map('usa'); map('county', 'colorado', add=T,fill = T,
col=c(1:5))
plots Colorado counties using colours 1 to 5.
However, I want each color to represent a certain value - a value to be
picked from a data frame.
This code should show a correspoding map at the level of states:
state.names <- system('tr "[A-Z]" "[a-z]"', state.name)
map.states <- unix('sed "s/:.*//"', map(names=T,plot=F))
state.to.map <- match(map.states, state.names)
color<- votes.repub[state.to.map, votes.year = 1900] / 100
map('state', fill=T, col=color); map('state', add=T)
It is copied from page 6 in
Richard A. Becker, and Allan R. Wilks, "Maps in S", AT&T Bell
Laboratories Statistics Research Report [93.2], 1993.
http://public.research.att.com/areas/stat/doc/93.2.ps
I also wonder whether the county names are available in the database
used by map(), and, if yes, how to extract or utilize them.
Thanks!

Tinn-R is written in Delphi, so its source code should be a great example of
a Delphi/R interface. I've never studied the source code -- that's been on
my "to do" list for months --, but I'm guessing it uses RCOm, like
Hans-Peter suggested. Nevertheless, Tom's example above may also be quite
useful.

Re: [R] There exist a FCS package on R-languaje?
I do not have R code for ConfoCor2 raw data, but I'm working on some R code to read ConfoCor3 raw data. That R example is not quite ready for public release. The ConfoCor3 raw data format, which is a binary file, is quite a bit simpler to process than ConfoCor2 raw data. IMHO, the ConfoCor2 data format is unnecessarily complex. With ConfoCor2 two bit streams are multiplexed into a single binary stream, and run-length compressed at the same time. I did write a Delphi ConfoCor 2 viewer (with source code), which I'm modifying to handle either ConfoCor 2 or 3 raw data if that is of any interest: http://research.stowers-institute.org/efg/ScientificSoftware/Utility/FCSViewer/index.htm (I hope to update this page in the next week or two with that new version). Diagrams on that page show how the ConfoCor2 file can be parsed. Bit manipulations in R would be a bit of a pain IMHO. Unfortunately, "FCS" is an overloaded acronym and some may be interested in "Flow Cytometery Standard" FCS data, which is a different kind of binary file for a very different subject area. There is a prada package for this other kind of FCS data.

Thank you! I had adapted some code and must confess I had read ?nls.control thoroughly, but not ?nls. I had even used debug on nls, traced it through line by line to the .Call statement, trying to figure out why nls.out never got defined. The source code has no comments at all. IMHO, the warning should be in the "Description" at the top of the ?nls page, not at the bottom of the page. The warning should also appear on the ?nls.control page. But, a better way would be to have a software design that eliminated the warning. It's not clear to me why this problem cannot be "fixed" somehow. You shouldn't need to add noise to a problem to solve it. (It's a bit like saying addition works, but not for integers without adding some noise.) If there can be arbitrary defaults of maxiter=50, and (relative) tol=1e-5 in nls.control, there could be another arbitrary (absolute) convergence criterion.

[R] nls convergence problem
I'm having problems getting nls to agree that convergence has occurred in a toy problem. nls.out never gets defined when there is an error in nls. Reaching the maximum number of iterations is alway an error, so nls.out never gets defined when the maximum number of iterations is reched. >From ?nls.control: tol: A positive numeric value specifying the tolerance level for the relative offset convergence criterion. >From some S-Plus documentation I found online via Google: http://www.uni-muenster.de/ZIV/Mitarbeiter/BennoSueselbeck/s-html/helpfiles/nls.control.html tolerance: tolerance for the relative offset convergence criterion in the algorithm. Default 0.001. Note that the convergence test used in nls() is strictly relative. Therefore if the solution to a problem turned out to be a perfect fit (unlikely except in artificial examples), convergence is not guaranteed to be recognized by the algorithm.

Should the R documentation be expanded to include the comment from the S-Plus: "Therefore if the solution to a problem turned out to be a perfect fit (unlikely except in artificial examples), convergence is not guaranteed to be recognized by the algorithm".

I'm not sure what you want to do with the alpha channel - it's sometimes
used for transparency, especially on Macs, but is not used much on PCs
(AFAIK).
Let's say you want different shades of gold:
> colors()[142]
[1] "gold"
Instead of RGB color space perhaps you should consider HSV
(Hue-Saturation-Value) color space.
Let's convert "gold" to rgb to hsv:
> col2rgb( colors()[142] )
[,1]
red255
green 215
blue 0
> rgb2hsv( col2rgb( colors()[142] ) )
[,1]
h 0.1405229
s 1.000
v 1.000
The "hue" (h) is the color ranging from 0 to 1 around a color circle (with
red= 0 or 1). Find h = 0.140 ("gold") in this color circle:
hue <- seq(0.0, 1.0, by=1/40)
pie(rep(1,40),
labels=formatC(hue, digits=3, format="f"), cex=0.75,
col=hsv(hue, 1.0, 1.0),
radius=1.0,
main="HSV (S=1, V=1)" )
Hues range from 0.0 to 1.0.
A color is saturated (s=1) when it is "far" from a shade of gray (ranging
from black to white). Grays are unsaturated (no color) colors with s = 0.
Saturation ranges from 0.0 to 1.0.
The value (v) is the brightness of the color. Low values appear quite dark
but still have color. v=1 is as bright as possible. Values range from 0.0
to 1.0.
You can get different "shades" of the same color by varying changing the
saturation and value for a given hue. The hsv function returns the RGB
color in hex form.
Consider:
> hsv(0.1405, 1, 1)
[1] "#FFD700"
Hex FF = decimal 255 = red
Hex D7 = decimal 215 = green
Hex 00 = decimal 0 = blue
Let's vary Saturation from 0.0 to 1.0 and Value from 0.0 to 1.0 in this
plot:
MakeHSVRectangle <- function(saturation, value)
{
GoldHue <- 0.140
color <- hsv(GoldHue, saturation, value)
rect(100*saturation, 100*value, 100*saturation+4, 100*value+4, col=color)
}
plot(0:110,0:110, type="n",
xlab="Saturation[%]", ylab="Value[%]",
main="Shades of Gold, H=0.140")
outer(seq(0.0, 1.0, 0.05), seq(0.0, 1.0, 0.05), MakeHSVRectangle)
With Value = 0, all colors are "black". With Saturation=0, the only
"colors" along the y axis are the shades of gray. The original "gold"
rectangle is at the upper right.
So, given a starting color, you have a number of "shades" (various
saturations and values) with the same color hue.
I hope this helps.

This reply gave some suggestions: http://tolstoy.newcastle.edu.au/~rking/R/help/05/11/14990.html I found this suggestion the most useful: "You could try using the COM interface rather than the ODBC interface" http://tolstoy.newcastle.edu.au/~rking/R/help/05/11/15030.html This approach has problems if you have "holes" in your data, but with some work I found RDCOMClient the way to go: http://tolstoy.newcastle.edu.au/~rking/R/help/05/11/15090.html IMHO, RODBC should only be used if you have an Excel file without holes, and with very regular numeric data. I don't understand why the online documentation is not updated to give a usage note that RODBC will often fail reading Excel files.

Here's what worked for me:
(1) Install the new (D)COM server (the old one gives the error "Method '~'
of object '~' failed" with R 2.2.0):
For anybody who wants to try the R(D)COM server alone, I recommend
http://sunsite.univie.ac.at/rcom/download/RSrv200beta.exe
It is reasonably stable and will work with R 2.2.0.
(2) In C:\Program Files\R\(D)COM Server\samples\Simple run the simple.exe to
verify the server is working.
(3) Download and unzip: http://www.menne-biomed.de/download/RDComDelphi.zip
Like Jose Claudio Faria described, a number of warnings and errors will be
seen in Delphi 7 in compiling the unmodified RDCom.dpr project.
To fix the compilation errors, add the "Variants" unit to the uses:
uses
Windows, Messages, SysUtils,Classes, Dialogs,
STATCONNECTORSRVLib_TLB,Forms, Variants;
I don't remember why Borland made this change.
You can make the Warnings go away by selecting Project | Options | Compiler
Messages and unchecking the boxes for
- Unsafe type
- Unsafe code
These warning were introduced with Borland made changes to support .NET.
The code should be quite fine for Win32.
Note: The Delphi source code could be modified to use {$IFDEF} directives
to take care of the differences by compiler version. See the "Compiler
Versions" section of this page:
http://www.efg2.com/Lab/Library/Delphi/Miscellany/index.html.
Unfortunately, Borland has not been very helpful in promoting the use of a
common "Versions.INC" file or any other mechanism to take care of such
compiler version problems in a uniform way. The file "Versions.INC" must be
updated with every new release by Borland.
(4) Run the RDCom.exe program. Select the "Run" and "Plot" buttons and see a
wonderful demo of Delphi and R working together. (Now I can get busy and
use this in other Delphi applications with R as a "backend".)
Thanks for the work on R-DCOM and this great example!

Gabor,
Thank you for that suggestion. I try to avoid COM, but it seems to work
well with this problem.
Because I have empty cells, which are treated as NULLS, the unlist didn't
quite work.
Here's what I did:
library(RDCOMClient)
xls <- COMCreate("Excel.Application")
xls[["Workbooks"]]$Open("U:/efg/lab/R/Plasmid/construct list.xls")
sheet <- xls[["ActiveSheet"]]
mydata <- sheet[["UsedRange"]][["value"]]
xls$Quit()
for (column in 1:length(mydata))
{
cat(column, " ", length(mydata[[column]]), " ",
length(unlist(mydata[[column]])), "\n")
}
The results show that while mydata is a list of columns, if you unlist each
column you'll be short by the number of NULL values.
1 1251 1251
2 1251 1198
3 1251 870
4 1251 327
5 1251 1250
This seemed a bit crude to fix that problem (can someone suggest a more
elegant way?):
mymatrix <- NULL
for (column in 1:length(mydata))
{
# Use lappy to replace NULLs with "" strings, column-by-column
mymatrix <- cbind(mymatrix, lapply(mydata[[column]], function(cell) {
ifelse(is.null(cell), "", cell) } ))
}
# Fix column names
colnames(mymatrix) <- mymatrix[1,]
mymatrix <- mymatrix[-1,]
> mymatrix[273:276,]
Plasmid Number Plasmid

Thank you for preserving "275a" and "275b" as the names here.
So, I'd recommend RDCOMClient over RODBC with Excel files. "Being lucky"
shouldn't be part of processing Excel files.

I ran some experiments trying to force RODBC to read column 1 of my
worksheet as character data (the data are mostly numbers with two
exceptions, 275a and 275b, as mentioned earlier).
Here's the base code:
> library(RODBC)

list.xls")
> plasmid <- sqlFetch(channel,"Sheet1", as.is=TRUE)
> odbcClose(channel)

[1] "Plasmid Number" "Plasmid""Concentration" "Comments"
"Lost"
When Excel Sheet1 has rows 2:13 as an "X" to attempt to force treatment of
column 1 as character data:
> class(plasmid$"Plasmid Number")
[1] "numeric"
> typeof(plasmid$"Plasmid Number")
[1] "double"
> plasmid$"Plasmid Number"[1:20]
[1] NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
Why would any software with 12 consecutive "X" character strings "assume"
the data are purely numeric?
Add one more "X" so rows 2:14 have an "X" to attempt to force treatment of
column 1 as character data:
> class(plasmid$"Plasmid Number")
[1] "character"
> typeof(plasmid$"Plasmid Number")
[1] "character"
> plasmid$"Plasmid Number"[1:20]
[1] "X" "X" "X" "X" "X" "X" "X" "X" "X" "X" "X" "X" "X" NA NA NA NA NA
NA NA
So RODBC now recognizes "character" Xs in column 1 and then declares all
numbers as invalid? These are incredibly (bad) assumptions.
I say this is a "bug", but it may be an ODBC problem and not one with "R.
And if this is not an official "bug", then it's a serious design problem.
Minimally, this issue should be described in the R Data Import/Export
document, which everyone is told to read before asking a question.
It's frustrating when packages like this work for "toy" problems, and the
documentation never mentions the pitfalls of real data.

Thanks for this suggestion, but I think I'll just convert the Excel
spreadsheet to a .csv and maintain it in that format.

[R] RODBC and Excel: Wrong Data Type Assumed on Import
The first column in my Excel sheet has mostly numbers but I need to treat it

> plasmid <- sqlFetch(channel,"Sheet1", as.is=TRUE)

[1] 274 NA NA 276
The two NAs are supposed to be 275a and 275b. I tried the "as.is=TRUE" but
that didn't help.
I consulted Section 4, Relational databases, in the R Data Import/Export
document (for Version 2.2.0).
Section 4.2.2, Data types, was not helpful. In particular, this did not
seem helpful: "The more comprehensive of the R interface packages hide the
type conversion issues from the user."
Section 4.3.2, Package RODBC, provided a "simple example of using ODBC ..
with a(sic) Excel spreadsheet" but is silent on how to control the data type
on import. Could the documentation be expanded to address this issue?
I really need to show "Plasmid 275a" and "Plasmid 275b" instead of "Plasmid
NA".
Thanks for any help with this.

Mea culpa. The onefile=FALSE wasn't necessary (and caused Ghostscript not to
open the postscript file).
The 2nd page was caused by an erroneous second plot statement in ShowFont5,
which I put there for a one time test and then I failed to remove it. I was
getting two pages because I had two plot statements. Sorry for the
confusion.
All works fine with this code, which has only one plot statement, even with
postscript and pdf files:
ShowFont5 <- function()
{
oldpar <- par(font=5, las=1)
plot(0:15,0:15,type="n",ylim=c(15,0),

I performed some tests with font=5 on both Linux and Windows using
source("font5.R"), which is shown below, and then calling the Font5Test()
function.
Consistent results were seen with devices X11, png, and jpeg under either
Linux (R 2.1.1) or Windows (R 2.2.0) in my locale. Oddly, both the pdf and
postscript devices create 2 pages of output with the first page the expected
table and a second unexpected page with only the "clubs suite" symbol (167)
in the middle of the plot. I'd call this a bug, but I guess I haven't read
all the documentation about this yet.

I'm not sure where this is explained very well. Having ?font give a clue
about this would be nice.
Use font=5, the symbol font. To see what's in font=5:
par(font=5, las=1)
plot(0:15,0:15,type="n",ylim=c(15,0),
main="Symbols in Font=5",
xlab="", ylab="",xaxt="n", yaxt="n")

abline(v=0.5 + 0:14,

# pch index of any cell is 16*row + column
for(i in 0:255)
{
x <- i %%16;
y <- i %/% 16;
points(x,y,pch=i+1)
}
The Greek letters are from 65 to 90 and 97 to 122 in this font.
Here are random points with Greek letters as the plot character:
par(font=5)
# Use Greek letter for plot characters from font=5
plot(0:1, 0:1, axes=F, type="n", xlab="", ylab="",
main="Greek plotting characters")
box()
points(runif(100), runif(100), pch=c(65:90, 97:122))

Re: [R] Spacing and margins in plot
This technote explains the margin area (mar) and how to modify it to control
white space around a graphic:
http://research.stowers-institute.org/efg/R/Graphics/Basics/mar-oma/index.htm
When you have multiple figures on a graphic, you may also want to learn to
control the outer margin area (oma), which is also explained.
AFAIK, the only way to get the axis label "closer" to the axis is to
suppress the actual axis labels and use the mtext command to display
alternative text where you want it. For example, look at the blue text in
Figure 2B (at the above link) that is between the axis label and the axis.
This blue text is at line=2, when the axis labels are at line=3.

Have you considered in R writing the file to a temporary name (see ?tempfile). When the file is complete, after the dev.off() in R as suggested by Prof Ripley, you could rename the file [using file.name() in R].

I can use file.choose like this as a kludge to get something like a
dir.choose, but a real dir.choose would be better:
cat("Select one of files in directory to process:\n")
filename <- gsub("", "/", file.choose())
basepath <- dirname(filename)
Windows provides a lower-level SHBrowseForFolder function to create such a
dialog (see links below). Do other platforms have similar functionality at
a lower level? (Hoping this would be an easy addition to R.)

[R] Why only a "" string for heading for row.names with write.csv with a matrix?
Consider:
> x <- matrix(1:6, 2,3)
> rownames(x) <- c("ID1", "ID2")
> colnames(x) <- c("Attr1", "Attr2", "Attr3")
> x
Attr1 Attr2 Attr3
ID1 1 3 5
ID2 2 4 6
> write.csv(x,file="x.csv")
"","Attr1","Attr2","Attr3"
"ID1",1,3,5
"ID2",2,4,6
Have I missed an easy way to get the "" string to be something meaningful?
There is no information in the "" string. This column heading for the row
names often could used as a database key, but the "" entry would need to be
manually edited first. Why not provide a way to specify the string instead
of putting "" as the heading for the rownames?
>From http://finzi.psych.upenn.edu/R/doc/manual/R-data.html
Header line
R prefers the header line to have no entry for the row names,
. . .
Some other systems require a (possibly empty) entry for the row names,
which is what write.table will provide if argument col.names = NA is
specified. Excel is one such system.
Why is an "empty" entry the only option here?
A quick solution that comes to mind seems a bit kludgy:
> y <- cbind(rownames(x), x)
> colnames(y)[1] <- "ID"
> y
IDAttr1 Attr2 Attr3
ID1 "ID1" "1" "3" "5"
ID2 "ID2" "2" "4" "6"
> write.table(y, row.names=F, col.names=T, sep=",", file="y.csv")
"ID","Attr1","Attr2","Attr3"
"ID1","1","3","5"
"ID2","2","4","6"
Now the rownames have an "ID" header, which could be used as a key in a
database if desired without editing (but all the "numbers" are now
characters strings, too).
It's also not clear why I had to use write.table above, instead of
write.csv:
> write.csv(y, row.names=F, col.names=T, file="y.csv")
Error in write.table(..., col.names = NA, sep = ",", qmethod = "double") :
col.names = NA makes no sense when row.names = FALSE
Thanks for any insight about this.

Re: [R] HOW to Create Movies with R with repeated plot()?
"Jan Verbesselt" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote in message
news:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
Dear R-helpers,
Is it possible to create a type of 'movie' in R based on the output of
several figures (e.g., jpegs) via the plot() function. I obtained dynamic
results with the plotting function and would like to save these as a movie
(e.g., avi or other formats)?
1) You can create animated GIFs with the caTools package.
2) ImageMagick (clipped from R-Help)
It is quite easy to do with ImageMagick (www.imagemagick.org), which can be
installed on most OSes. I tried this simple sequence and it worked
beautifully.
In R:
> for(i in 1:5) {
+ jpeg(paste("fig", i, ".jpg", sep = ""))
+ hist(rnorm(100))
+ dev.off()
+ }
Then from the command line (I tried it using Linux, though it should be the
same on any platform):
% convert -delay 50 -loop 50 fig*.jpg animated.gif
This created animated.gif, a nice animation of my sequence of files. You
can control the timing of the animation by playing with -delay and -loop.
3) TCL/TK Animation (clipped from R-Help)
The tcltk package also has ways of doing this kind of stuff:
library(tcltk)
f <- function(){plot(rnorm(1000)); tkcmd("after", 1000,f)}
f()
(To stop, set f <- NULL)

The default par()$mar is c(5,4,4,2) + 0.1 and can be reduced.
For example:

[R] Partek has Dunn-Sidak Multiple Test Correction. Is this the same/similar to any of R's p.adjust.methods?
The Partek package (www.partek.com) allows only two selections for Multiple Test Correction: Bonferroni and Dunn-Sidak.

My guess is it's less conservative than Bonferroni (but aren't all the other methods?), but how does it compare to the other methods?

There's a lot of info in the old R-Help postings, but searching and finding
an answer for a particular problem can be a bit of a pain.
Here's some info from some old R-Help postings that may help on your
question:
DELETE TWO COLUMNS
---
I have a dataframe 'd2004' and I want to remove two columns:
'd2004$concentration' and 'd2004$stade".
I could do it just as follows:
> names(d2004)
[1] "Localite" "Date" "parcelle" "maille"
"presence.plant" "concentration" "stade.culture"
[8] "stade" "Trou" "Horizon""Profondeur"
> d2004 <- d2004[, -c(6, 8)]
but I'd like to use column names (to avoid finding column numbers each
time).
I cannot find an easy way to operate...
I wonder why that works:
> d2004[, "concentration"]
and this don't:
> d2004 <- d2004[, -c("concentration", "stade")]
SOLUTIONS:
d2004$concentration <- NULL
d2004$stade <- NULL
or
Newdata <- subset(d2004, select=-c(concentration,stade))
RENAMING COLUMNS
---
This is a sample data frame:
> myData <- data.frame( col1 = 1:3, col2 = 2:4, col3 = 3:5 )
> myData
col1 col2 col3
1123
2234
3345
You can change all names by:
> names( myData )<- c( "newcol1", "newcol2", "newcol3" )
> myData
newcol1 newcol2 newcol3
1 1 2 3
2 2 3 4
3 3 4 5
Or a single name by:
> names( myData )[ 2 ] <- "newcol2"
> myData
col1 newcol2 col3
11 23
22 34
33 45
Or if you know the name, but not the column number:
> names( myData )[ which( names( myData ) == "newcol2" ) ] <- "verynewcol2"
> myData
col1 verynewcol2 col3
11 23
22 34
33 45
REORDERING COLUMNS
-----------
I don't have a clipping for this one, but here's what I'd try:
> myData <- data.frame( col1 = 1:3, col2 = 2:4, col3 = 3:5 )
>
> myData
col1 col2 col3
1123
2234
3345
> MyData <- myData[,c(3,1,2)]
> MyData
col3 col1 col2
1312
2423

BUT, there's a clue in one of the comments of the examples for ?p.adjust: ## or all of them at once (dropping the "fdr" alias): p.adjust.M <- p.adjust.methods[p.adjust.methods != "fdr"] Apparently, the old "fdr" that meant "Benjamini & Hochberg" now shares an alias with the new "BH", which is "Benjamini & Hochberg". Wouldn't a simple statement in the online documentation be useful that explained that "fdr" and "BH" are aliases? Is "fdr" soon to be deprecated and eventually shouldn't be used at all and that "BH" is the way of the future? http://cran.r-project.org/src/base/NEWS mentions "p.adjust() has a new method '"BY'" but was silent on the apparently new alias "BH". efg __ R-help@stat.math.ethz.ch mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide! http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html

Thank you for this info.
I struggle to keep up with what is on CRAN and in Bioconductor, so I haven't
looked at the newer packages in R-devel. Both "convertColor" and
"colorspace" look interesting and I'll definitely investigate them.
I see the latest (first?) version of colorspace was introduced in January
2005 and provides functions hex, hex2RGB, readhex and writehex, and these
functions seem to address my color concerns. But I was using color
manipulations as an example of a need for more general capapabilities in R
to do these hex conversions when needed, and without a special package.
I recently discovered R's writeBin and readBin functions. readBin, in
particular, looks like an extremely powerful tool for loading external
files. This might be an easier way to perform some one-time data
manipulations instead of writing a separate C, Perl or Delphi program to
manipulate data before bringing it into R for analysis.
readBin returns a "raw" data type that looks like an array of bytes that R
displays in hex. That's where my problem begins and why I joined this "hex
format" thread.
I'd love to manipulate this raw hex data, but R makes using these hex bytes
quite difficult to use (or more difficult than I think it should be based on
how easy it is in other languages). I might want to interpret a byte, or a
string of bytes, as characters. Or, I might want to interpret pairs of
bytes as 2-byte unsigned (or possibly signed) integers. Or, I might want to
interpret 3-bytes at a time as RGB values (in either RGB or BGR order). Or,
I might want to interpret 8-bytes at a type as a IEEE754 floating point
number.
Every time someone wants to manipulate this raw data in R, as far as I can
tell now, one must start from scratch and do all sorts of manipulations on
these hex byte values to get characters, or integers, or doubles. And
because it's not that easy (but it's not that hard either, more of an
annoyance), I guess many just go back to C to get that job done there and
then return to R.
Perhaps I've missed some R functions that do this conversion, but if not, I
suggest some new functions that take an array of raw bytes like this, and
return either a single value, or an array of values, under a given
"interpretation" would be a useful addition to R for working with raw data
(like flow cytometery data --
http://www.softflow.com/sf_www/fcap/Fcsformt.htm, or even TIFF files, or
other forms of scientific data).
Examples of writeBin/readBin:
# Integers
> IntegerSize <- 4# How do I get this value from R?

Colo(u)rs and numbers are interchangeable to me. When you look at a picture, don't you "see" numbers? Maybe you don't see a number here, but I do. #ff0080 is interpreted in some (non-R) contexts as a single number. In many contexts, including HTML, colors are represented as three bytes in hex with this notation and the "#" means "hexadecimal". The RGB color componets can be discerned quite easily: hex FF is decimal 255 (red), hex 00 is decimal 0 (green), hex 80 is decimal 128 (blue). Some programs, e.g., Dreamweaver, allow specification of colors in this hex 3-byte form directly. The "16 million" colors you seen on a "true color" display are from the 256*256*256 (or in hex FF*FF*FF) possible RGB triples. > For example, R already provides both hsv() and rgb() to create colours > from vectors of three numbers, but the correspondence is different in each > case. Sorry if some consider this off topic: HSV as a color space is really only liked by computer scientists. Image processing and color engineers rarely if ever use HSV. There are MANY other color spaces and computations possible (see "color spaces" or "color conversions" or other color topics on this page http://www.efg2.com/Lab/Library/Color/Science.htm). Most of these color manipulations in R are not easy because the very first step, converting colors, I mean numbers , like #ff0080 to the red, green components is hindered because one must reinvent the wheel of hex-to-decimal conversion. Perhaps R will someday introduce a "pixel" type that would encapsulate the three color components (for color images at least). A matrix of pixels could easily be made into an image. Some color computations such a Maxwell Triangle, or a CIE Chromaticity Chart (sorry the links are currently broken, but the image can be seen on this Chinese translation page) http://bluemoon.myrice.com/efg/color/chromaticity.htm in R is more difficult than it should be because of how R is designed now. Many image processing statistical problems could be tackled directly in R if there were an easier way to manipulate pixels and images. But the hex manipulations I'm advocating could be used for variety of other purposes. E.g, I must periodically deal with a binary data stream of flow cytometery data -- part ASCII, part binary. Reading this stream directly from R would be nice and is almost doable. Working with raw data and understanding exactly what you've got would be facilitated by better conversion capabilities within R. efg __ R-help@stat.math.ethz.ch mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide! http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html

1) While generally I'd agree with your statement, manipulating colors is one
place the ability to convert to/from hex would be quite nice.
> rgb(1,0,0.5)
[1] "#FF0080"
rgb returns a hex string and then R makes manipulating this string somewhat
difficult. One might want to use such color values to convert to a
different color space, perform some sort of manipulation in that other color
space, and then convert back to rgb.
2) I would think that one of R's mathematical abilities would be to provide
a way to convert from any base to base 10, and from base 10 to any base. I
haven't found this general math tool yet in R. Working with base-16 (or
even base 2 sometimes) could be done with such a general math tool.
3) While I may be in a minority, I would even consider exporting IEEE
floating-point numbers in hex form as a way to avoid any additional
conversion losses converting to/from decimal.
4) Why not make working with "raw" data a little easier? readbin shows hex
values but they are not easy to work with inside of R.

for hex, but the as.numeric("#FF0080") isn't allowed?

I see this works fine with R 2.0.0 on a Linux platform, but doesn't work at

[1] NA
Warning message:
NAs introduced by coercion
Seems to me the conversion from hex to decimal should be system independent
(and makes working with colors much more convenient). Why isn't this system
independent now?
The "prefix" on hex numbers is somewhat language dependent ("0x" or $)
perhaps but I didn't think this conversion should be system dependent.
I don't remember where I got this, but this hex2dec works under both Linux
and Windows (and doesn't need the "0x" prefix).
hex2dec <- function(hexadecimal)
{
hexdigits <- c(0:9, LETTERS[1:6])
hexadecimal <- toupper(hexadecimal)# treat upper/lower case the same
decimal <- rep(0, length(hexadecimal))
for (i in 1:length(hexadecimal))
{
digits <- match(strsplit(hexadecimal[i],"")[[1]], hexdigits) - 1
decimal[i] <- sum(digits * 16^((length(digits)-1):0))
}
return(decimal)
}
Example:
> hex2dec(c("1AF0", ""))
[1] 6896 65535
"" can be interpreted as 65535 as unsigned and -1 as signed on the same
system depending on context. This isn't system dependent, but rather
context dependent.
I suggest "as.numeric" should perform the unsigned conversion on all
systems. What am I missing?

Using Windows with R 2.0.1 this looks fine at first.
But when I resize the graphic, copy the graphic to a metafile and paste it
into Word, or go to an earlier graphic and come back using "History", the
colors ae all messed up. It's as if only the last palette is being used for
all four plots in the figure. Oddly, if I copy the graphic as a bitmap, the
colors are preseved in the bitmap. Is this a quirk of my machine or does
this happen for others?
Is it possible that the Windows palette manager is being used (which is such
about obsolete) and that true color graphics are not being used (which is
the easist way to avoid headaches from the Windows palette manager)?

Yes, that works nicely. Thank you very much.
I tried this wrapped with a pdf/dev.off and it works great:
pdf("test.pdf")
dev.off()
I guess I should always use layout and avoid using mfrow or mfcol, since
it's more flexible in general.
I can't decide if the existing behavio(u)r of mfrow/mfcol is a "bug" or a
"feature" when some plots are to be left blank, and one wants to advance to
the next figure. With your solution, I won't need to care . Thanks.

OK, I have a logic regression equation and just want it in a character form.
For example, I can see this equation from the R command prompt:

But I cannot figure out how to get this equation in character form:
Why does this NOT work?

[R] Problem saving logic regression result equation to disk file
I want to get some "simple" logic regression examples to work before
exploring a hard problem.
I can get results, but I'm having some problems using "cat" to save the
logic regression equation to a disk file.
Consider this:
# Simple Logic Regression Example
# efg, 23 Feb 2005
library(LogicReg)
# Create simulated data with known logic equation:
# "noise" logic matrix
X <- matrix(as.numeric(runif(160) < 0.5), 20,8)
colnames(X) <- paste("X", 1:ncol(X), sep="")
rownames(X) <- paste("case", 1:nrow(X), sep="")
# Define expected result: Y = (NOT X2) AND X6
Y <- as.numeric(!X[,2] & X[,6])
# set seed for reproducible test
set.seed(19937)
# 100 interations too few: some results in single node with |Parameter| < 1
Annealing <- logreg.anneal.control(start = -1, end = -4, iter = 500, update
= 50)
logicfit <- logreg(resp=Y, bin=X,
type = REGRESSION.TYPE<-2,
select = FIT.SINGLE.MODEL<-1,
ntrees=1,
nleaves=2, # force shape of final tree
anneal.control=Annealing)
# I don't always want to see the plot
plot(logicfit)
# I'd like to write my regression equation to a file and
# then run many times to test my parameter selection
# with a known case before exploring unknown cases
logicfit
# In this case I want either of these equivalent answers
# (equivalent via DeMorgan's Theorem), and no others,
# such as single node results.
I want to run this say 100s (later 1000s) of times and look at the variation
in the results. I want to figure out what parameters I should use so I only
see these results:
score 0
+1 * (X6 and (not X2))
-1 * ((not X6) or X2)
# I can't use cat to write this model to a file:

Using sink to get this result seems to be a huge kludge:

> results <- readLines("saveresults.txt")
> results
[1] " +1 * (X6 and (not X2))"
# FINALLY something I could write this result to a file:.
> cat(results, "\n")

What is a simple way to get my logic regression equation as a string that I
can "cat"
without dealing with the internal data structures that are present here?
Thanks for any help with this.

I guess R's bmps only have 240 colors that will work on all PCs. So are bmps created under R restricted to a single, fixed 256 color palette? (I don't see any color palette parameter to the bmp device.)

How can I display a bmp directly in R?
When plotting 100,000+ points (common with flow cytometry data) [or even the
10,000s of points with microarray data] the Windows metafile is not the way
to go (nor is postscript) because the files are too large and repainting
them takes too long. Does R provide a way to plot to a bmp and then
display that graphic immediately? It's a pain to leave R just to view the
graphics.
JPGs work fine for real world images, but not that well for drawings. BMPs
look like the only alternative when plotting a huge number of points so the
file size is reasonable. (GIFs with drawings would be even better than
BMPs. I guess I could try PNGs.)
With the GIF/LZW patent issue now in the past, why not have a GIF driver and
even support creation/display of some simple animated GIFs in R?

I went to http://cran.r-project.org/contrib/extra/dcom I read this documentation: http://cran.r-project.org/contrib/extra/dcom/RSrv135.html I downloaded and installed the R(COM) server (and rebooted) http://cran.r-project.org/contrib/extra/dcom/RSrv135.exe So, how I can I call "R" from Delphi using R(COM)? Something seems to be missing. Duncan Murdoch's suggestion about direct calls to R.dll looks interesting, but a complete working example would be nice. Thanks for any help with this. efg Earl F.

Re: [R] increase thr range in R
IEEE floating point provides a "double-extended" type often called a long double. The exact size of a double-extended can vary but the minimum specified by the spec is 80 bits. A PC with the IEEE extended type gives an approximate range from 3.4E-4932 to 1.1E4932, which would give you the range you want. Other architectures, such as a Tru64 alpha, give an even larger extended. Reference: See the "IEEE Standard" in "What Every Computer Scientist Should Know About Floating-Point Arithmetic" http://docs.sun.com/source/806-3568/ncg_goldberg.html The "note" under R's ?numeric help says "All real numbers are stored in double precision format," so R apparently does not yet support the extended type. str(.Machine) in R gives a sizeof.longdouble, but I don't know how to use such a longdouble in native R -- perhaps someone else could enlighten us. C or C++ (or other languges) would support the long double type and the computations you'd like to do. efg Earl F.

[R] p.adjust with "hommel" method doesn't allow NAs but other methods do?
Is this expected behavior? I've got 77 NAs in a vector of 6875 p values: # Hommel method fails > p <- p.adjust(r$p,"hommel") Error: NAs are not allowed in subscripted assignments In addition: Warning message: longer object length is not a multiple of shorter object length in: n * p/(1:n) # These work fine > p <- p.adjust(r$p,"none") > p <- p.adjust(r$p,"bonferroni") > p <- p.adjust(r$p,"holm") > p <- p.adjust(r$p,"hochberg") > p <- p.adjust(r$p,"fdr") > sum(is.na(r$p)) [1] 77 > length(r$p) [1] 6875 When I removed these NAs myself, why does the "hommel" method take perhaps 300 times (or more) longer than the other methods? The Hommel method took over 5 minutes for this set of 6875 when the other methods were less than a second. I'm using Windows 2000 and R 2.0.0 efg __ [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
