 Your e-mail header suggests that you are on a Mac. If you have access to
 MS Word or an alternate document processing program like OpenOffice or a
 functional equivalent, you can import EPS files into a table, with each
 graphic going into a cell in the table. You can then print the
 document to a PS file, using a PS printer driver.
 
 Others may have alternate ideas.

Yes: I'd recommend Illustrator rather than Word/OOo for this. 

But actually, the original question got me curious. How difficult would
it be to add EPS import to the postscript device? Other devices could
just ignore it or simply read the bounding box and insert the usual
empty box which says EPS file. I guess I'll go for a litte walk in the
source code when I have a little spare time to burn. ;-)

I mean - this could be really usefull: Finally R would be capable of
producing the wealth of chartjunk other software has offered for
decades! Imagine using your corporate logo instead of boring circles or
dots for plotting! (OK ok - ouch - don't beat me, please...) ;-)

I would question the value of this approach.  Unless you propose to run

handles large amounts of memory much less effectively than under Linux.  
64-bit Windows is uncharted territory for R, whereas 64-bit Unix/Linux is

Hello R-Users,

I have some data sets which change on a daily bases. So far I have 
imported  these sets into R, done all my evaluations resulting in a 
couple of plots, charts and tables of numbers which I copypasted via 
clipboard into Powerpoint.
The procedure is always the same and I wonder, whether there is no 
easier way for doing so. Is there some type of report generator 
available or some HowTo on this.

Can anybody give me a hint on where to look for?

Regards,

Olaf Bürger
   

A third way is to use the R function ff:

Step 1: define a raw latex-report with R expressions (e.g. report.tex)
Step 2: modify some expressions in the raw report according the local 
situation (data sets, etc.)
Step 3: start R and evaluate ff(report.tex)
Step 4: latex report
Step 5: repeat 2-4 for the different data sets

Here is the link to the rd file:

[R] Help in error : SAM function in library siggenes

2004-01-29 Thread Siew Leng TENG
Hi,

I had the following situation and I greatly appreciate
any advice.

SAM gave the following error  :

Error in var(v) : missing observations in cov/cor

when applied on a dataset. The error was traced to a
variance computation of a vector containing NA in
fudge() [a subroutine called by SAM()]. This vector is
a computational output in fudge() :

cv[i] - sqrt(var(v))/mean(v)

The same error was encountered when SAM was applied to
other similar datasets. Would modifying the statement
to var(v, na.rm=TRUE) be a possibility?

Many thanks,
Siew Leng

Note that this will circumvent all the careful work in R to align the

I would also give my votes to Linux.  That's essentially the main function

to connect from the Windoze desktop to the Linux boxes.  We can mount the
Windows shared drives on the Linux boxes for file sharing.  One of my former

RE: [R]Running R remotely in Windows Environment?

2004-01-29 Thread Pikounis, Bill
Jim,
I would really like to reiterate Professor Ripley's and Arne Henningsen
comments. The problem goes for any analytic software or system you might
want to use, not just R. My impression is that at least for part of it, you
want the individual users to use R as they would on their own desktops.  (If
that is not the case, much of the rest of this note is pure FYI.) Even in
its most advanced 2003 Server edition, Windows is simply not designed to be
a multi-user system.  Sure, it can reliably host a web server that may need
to run quick bursts of R batch-type jobs (analytics) and return results to
a client (e.g. web browser), but that does not sound like what you are
looking for (at least in part). And beyond the technical limitations, use of
Windows Terminal Server (Remote Desktop) / Citrix, etc. will cost much money
and implementation hassle and probably even legal headaches.  We have had
colleagues here at Merck (over my and Andy Liaw's disbelief) that have tried
to shoehorn Windows this way, and even the speed of single, small jobs by 1
logged-on took longer on the server than on their much less powerful
laptops. 

A Linux solution is very flexible, in our experiences (we have Windows XP as
corporate desktop standard).  As stated, with Samba, you can map directories
that look like just another drive in Windows Explorer.  Printing is just as
transparent in either direction.  VNC (Virtual Network Computing) is very,
very nice to provide the individual user's Linux environment as just another
window on their Windows desktop. With the free utility of autocutsel,
clipboards can be synchronized for ease of cutting and pasting. And KDE, one
of several window manager analogues to Windows, is very sophisticated and
shares a lot in common with the Windows GUI from a user operations
standpoint. While it may sound like a hassle to get up and running now if
your shop is currently 99% Windows, the benefit will absolutely be clear
later.

Hope that helps,
Bill

The pattern in dir() is a regular expression pattern, not a filename
wildcard.  You want dir(pattern=\\.sens$).  (The double backslash
comes because the regular expression you want contains a backslash
before the dot.)

If you're using Windows, the choose.files() interactive function is
probably more friendly.  There 

 choose.files('*.sens')
 
works the way you're expecting (except it's interactive).

RE: [R] Doubt about pattern

2004-01-29 Thread Henrik Bengtsson
Hi. 

1. A period in a pattern (as you wrote) means that you want to match
*any* character. You need to escape the period, i.e. \\., or
alternatively use the [set] indicator where set is all the
characters you allow at that position, i.e. [.]. (I prefer the
latter because in is more readable and you don't have the \\ or \
problem when cut'n'pasting.)

2. To match the end of string use $.

Thus, you want to do

 files - dir(pattern=*[.]sens$)

To match filenames that ends with .sens. 

This is how regexpr(), gsub() and friends all work.

Cheers

Henrik Bengtsson

That's because your pattern is a regular expression and not a Windows/DOS 
wildcard. You'll need something like

files - dir(pattern=\.sens$)

\. matches the dot itself (without the slash it's a wildcard for any 
character) and the dollar sign $ matches the end of the filename. So this 
way you'll get every file that has 'sens' as its extension

Re: [R] Loglienar models

2004-01-29 Thread John Fox
Dear Harry,

There are two ways to fit loglinear models of which I'm aware and probably 
more that I don't know: The loglin() function fits loglinear models by IPF; 
there's a convenient front end, loglm(), in the MASS package (one of the 
recommended packages). As well, you can fit loglinear models as Poisson 
generalised linear models using the glm() function. At least in the latter 
case, you can do model selection via step().

I hope that this helps,
 John

a very standard approach and is detailed in most books on logistic
regression or glms.  It is related to the Newton-Raphson iterative
algorithm for maximizing the likelihood.  The information matrix is like
the sums of squares and cross-product matrix in ordinary regression except
for a weigh of the form P*(1-P) where P is a row's estimated probability
of even from the final iteration.

Re: [R] How to generate a report with graphics and tables?

2004-01-29 Thread Don MacQueen
Depending on how much post-processing you do in 
Powerpoint, you might try importing the chart 
using a link.

Have R save the chart in a file. Then go into 
Powerpoint, use the Insert Picture from File menu 
item, and in the dialog box that comes up select 
Link to File.

Hello R-Users,

I have some data sets which change on a daily

R, done all my evaluations resulting in a couple 
of plots, charts and tables of numbers which I 
copypasted via clipboard into Powerpoint.
The procedure is always the same and I wonder, 
whether there is no easier way for doing so. Is 
there some type of report generator available 
or some HowTo on this.

Can anybody give me a hint on where to look for?

Re: [R] newbie question on contrasts and aov

2004-01-29 Thread Wolfgang Pauli
In the meantime I figured out that the Difference-contrast is not quite what I 
was looking for. But I still have two questions

1) Why do I get different results for Helmert contrasts in SPSS and R. I guess 
the contrast matrixes of Helmert are about the same in SPSS and R. I probably 
make a mistake as i am a newbie to R. I thought that it might be, because I 
have a repaeted measures design. That's why I put the Error(sub) in the 
formula of aov. 

2)
I tried to make my own contrast matrix, to compute comparisons between 
adjacent factor levels, i.e. 1-2, 2-3 and 3-4. My matrix looks like this:
 [,1] [,2] [,3]
[1,]100
[2,]   -110
[3,]0   -11
[4,]00   -1

But then I get the same result as with contr.helmert(4). What is wrong I 
really don't get it!

Thank you,

Wolfgang Pauli

On Sunday January 11 2004 18:07, you wrote:
 Notice  `SPKType III Sum of Squares'.  I don't believe your contrasts are
 orthogonal, and R's are sequential sum of squares.

 Also, are you sure these are the same contrasts?  I presume this is
 contr.sdif from MASS (in which case it is churlish not to credit it), and
 SPSS's contrasts look more like Helmert contrasts from their labelling.

 Since it appears all your treatments are within subjects you do seem to be
 making life difficult for yourself. Although I would have done a simple
 fixed-effects analysis, applying summary.lm to the bottom stratum would
 give you simple t-tests for each contrast, including actual estimates of
 the magnitudes.

Hi all,

I'm looking for a way to install the RMySQL-package into my
Windows-version of R (1.8.1). 

I did successfully install this package into my Linux-version of R
(RedHat9), but now I want to do this in my Windows-version too.

How to?

Yes.  (It has several functions to do so, including glm, loglin,

all of those.

  That is, will it provide the chi-squared goodness of fit test statistic

Yes (although there are two, sometimes known as G^2 and X^2, so you will 
need to be careful).

 Maybe even do a model selection procedure (like Brown's two-step

Yes.

R is currently been used here on a course on log-linear models for social 
scientists, at their suggestion.

[R] Repeated regressions

2004-01-29 Thread Whit Armstrong
Is anyone aware of a package that allows one to perform a rolling
regression?

For instance, if I have a 1000 x 10 matrix and I want to loop through the
rows of the matrix repeating the regression on a constant sample of 100
rows:

x - matrix(rnorm(1000*10),ncol=10)

rolling.regression - function(x,window.width=100) {

ans - matrix(NA,ncol=ncol(x),nrow=(nrow(x)-window.width+1))
for (i in window.width:nrow(x) ) {
start.row - (i - window.width + 1)
end.row - i
result - lm(x[start.row:end.row,1]~x[start.row:end.row,-1])
# store result
ans[i-window.width+1,] - as.numeric(result$coef)
}

ans
}

tmp - rolling.regression(x)


I'm sure there are more efficient ways to perform this analysis (using
lm.fit for instance), but is anyone aware of a package that does this type
of operation for fixed windows and expanding windows?

Thanks,
Whit Armstrong

[R] Variable substitution in grep pattern

2004-01-29 Thread Alberto Fornasier
Hi everibody.
I'm working with a dataframe with many character vector in which each
observation is made of one or more unique values.
Example:

 Licenza[56:58]
[1] BSD License, GNU Library or Lesser General Public License (LGPL)
[2] Qt Public License (QPL)
[3] GNU General Public License (GPL)
66 Levels:  ... Zope Public License

As you can see, the observation can have one or more Licenses associated
with them.
I want to build a vector with the number of times every element (e.g.
BSD License) occurs in the vector, by itself or in association with
others (i.e. I want to count the elements containing BSD License as
well as those containing BSD License, GNU Library or Lesser General
Public License (LGPL), and so on).

I've tried to use a for loop as follows:

 for(i in Licenza.elenco) {
+ Licenza.elenco.prova[Licenza.elenco==i] -
  length(grep(.*i.*,as.character(Licenza)))}

In which Licenza.elenco is a character vector containing all unique
values I need to match (e.g. BSD License, Qt Public License (QPL), GNU
General Public License (GPL)).
However R handles as I expect only the first variable substitution (the
index), but grep matches all strings containing the letter i, that is
100% of the vector, except NAs of course.
After running the above code I get:

 Licenza.elenco.prova
[1] 2235 2235 2235

I've tried escaping the variable name, enclosing it in brackets, but
nothing works as I want.
I'm sure I'm doing something wrong, but what?

Thaks in advance

Alberto Fornasier

The error message says it:  in R, the arguments for the generic function

Do getGeneric([) or ?[ to see the arguments.

As has been said on the R mailing lists in the past, R is generally 
compatible with the published books, but not when there is a better 
approach.  Having the extra arguments allows methods to be based on the

I always find it tedious to remember how to write file names in
Windows (there are rules about '\' and '/' characters) so I use the
file.choose() function, which brings up a chooser panel.  Although you
haven't said what you want to do with the file, let's assume you are
going to source some R code in the file.  Then you could use

source(file.choose())

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)

[R] Object validation and formal classes

2004-01-29 Thread Torsten Steuernagel
I'm using R 1.8.1 (Win32, Linux) and have some difficulties using 
validation functions for S4 classes. The problem is if I specify a 
validation function with setValidity(myclass, validate.myclass) object 
validation is only performed when I create an instance using 
new(myclass), or when I explicitly call validObject(x) where x is of 
class myclass, of course. 

According to the reference docs, I would expect that validation always 
takes place implicitly when I manipulate an object of myclass. This 
especially includes implicit validation if I change slots directly, i.e. 
[EMAIL PROTECTED] - 1:50 should call my validation function. Unfortunately, it 
isn't called and instead of raising an error and leaving the object 
unchanged in case validation fails, the object is always changed no 
matter what I assign to the slot.

I'm not sure if I'm missing something here or if I just didn't get the point 
of validation functions, but I believe there must be a way to assure that 
an object is in a consistent state.

Thanks for your help,

Torsten

[R] a question regarding leaps

2004-01-29 Thread Rajarshi Guha
Hi,
  I'm using regsubsets from the leaps package to select subsets of
variables. I'm calling the function as

 lp - regsubsets(x,y,nbest=5,nvmax=9)

Then I call plot to see which variables turned up in the models. I use
the R^2 scale and see my best model had a R^2 of 0.62.

However when I make a linear model using lm() with the same x my R^2 is
0.45. Should'nt I be seeing the same value of R^2?

I must be making a mistake somewhere but I'm not sure where - could
anybody provide a pointer as to what I'm doing wrong?

Thanks,

 Hi,
 
 While we are on the topic of Running R remotely in Windows Environment
 maybe someone could help with the following specific problem. I run R on
 a Linux box from my WindowsXP laptop. I do so via Exceed, which for some
 reasons is inconvenient for me.
 As an alternative I tried to ssh into the linux machine and then run R.
 This worked fine from Cygwin's bash window, but not from under XEmacs
 (native Windows port). After starting ssh Xemacs complained:
 Pseudo-terminal will not be allocated because stdin is not a terminal
 and didn't show the prompt. Did anyone figure out how to remotely run R
 from under (X)Emacs on Windows using ssh?

Cygwin can now run an X11 server for you, and it can do it such that the
normal win2k/xp/... window manager controls things -- you need a special
switch the name of which I cannot recall right now (and the windoze system
is at work). Look into the supplied startxin.{bat,sh} which has the line
commented.

So with X11 running on windows machine, you can get via 'ssh -X host' and
get any X11-compliant app back to your windows system.

[R] Memory clear problem

2004-01-29 Thread Suzanne E. Blatt

Hello.

I think this is a simple problem.  I have R running a program which generates 
variables that it 'remembers'.  The trouble is that I've modified the file that it's 
generating these variables from but doesn't seem to realize that.  When I type 'trees' 
- I get the same data set produced.

I tried shutting R down and not saving the workspace, but when I open 'er up again and 
type 'trees', there is that same data set.  I saw a memory clear command somewhere in 
one of the help files but I'll be danged if I can locate it now.

Please tell me this is a simple problem with a nice(one-line) solution.

It's hard to know exactly from your description what the source of the 
problem is, but I'd guess that it's due to missing data: That is, the 
models fit by regsubsets() likely removed observations that were present 
when you fit the model by lm(). If this is the case, then you could make 
the two results consistent by filtering the missing data before using lm().

I hope that this helps,

You can't do that.  If you could , how would you search for all strings

You need to use something like paste() to construct the pattern

RE: [R] memory problem for R

2004-01-29 Thread Liaw, Andy
Have you read the posting guide for R-help?  

You need to tell us more: What hardware/OS/version of R are you using?

A rough calculation on storage needed:
 6e5 * 70 * 8 / 1024^2
[1] 320.4346

So you need 320+ MB of RAM just to store the data as a matrix of doubles in
R.  You need enough RAM to make a couple of copies of this.  If any of the
variables are factors, the requirement goes up even more, as the design
matrix used to fit the model will expand the factors into columns of
contrasts.  How much physical RAM do you have on the computer?

There are more efficient ways to fit the model to data of this size, but you
need to be able to at least fit the data into memory.  There have been a few
suggestions on R-help before on how to do this, so do search the archive.
(I believe Prof. Koenker had a web page describing how to do this with mySQL
and updating the X'X matrix by reading in data in chunks.)

 Hi, 
 I try to use lm to fit a linear model with 600k rows and 70 
 attributes.
 But I can't even load the data into the R environment. 
 The error message says the vector memory is used up. 
 
 Is there anyone having experience with large datasets in R? (I bet)
 
 Please advise. 
 
 thanks,
 
 Yun-Fang
