Re: [R] Thrashing?

2004-11-14 Thread Christian Schulz
IMHO it's dependend on your data size and the functions you use.
I'm getting same behaviour (suse9) when i use mysqlWriteTable and 
reshape with large datasets and a
upgrade from 512MB to 1GB works much more better -  but now i dream from 
2GB-4GB.

I've seen this behavior with other version numbers but I'm running R 
2.0.0 under Fedora Core 3.  The system is a laptop with 1 Gig. RAM.

RE: [R] density estimation: compute sum(value * probability) for

 Dear R users,
 
 However, how do I compute sum(values*probabilities)? The

 Would it perhaps be ok to simply do
 sum(den$x*den$y) * (1/sum(den$y))

 ?

What you're missing is the dx! A density estimation estimates
the probability density function g(x) such that int[g(x)*dx] = 1,
and R's 'density' function returns estimated values of g at a
discrete set of points.

An integral can be approximated by a discrete summation of the
form

sum(g(x.i)*delta.x

You can recover the set of x-values at which the density is estimated,
and hence the implicit value of delta.x, from the returned density.

Example:

  X-rnorm(1000)
  f-density(X)
  x-f$x
  delta.x-x[2]-x[1]
  g-f$y
  sum(g*delta.x)

  [1] 1.000976

Hoping this helps,
Ted.

When I use C:\R\rw2000\binRCMD SHLIB -o c:/minhadll/meuteste.dll

Anyway, this doesn't seem to be the culprit.
Do you have the recommended tools in their most recent versions?
The last point might be your OS. I think nobody of the developers is 
working on non-NT based Windows versions (such as 95, 98, ME) these days.

Without it, your logical matrix index contains NA.  What do you intend

Prior to 2.0.0, R behaved inconsistently (both within itself and with S)

intended.  This has picked up quite a number of errors.

I do think this would be cleaner and faster using a loop over columns,

not locate the config.log file.

Would greatly appreciate  your advice in solving the problem.

You haven't told us the version of R, though, or how you installed it (do 
read the posting guide, as we ask).

To find the config.log you need to download and unpack the foreign 
tarball, then use R CMD INSTALL on the unpacked directory, which is where 
config.log will be put.

I suggest you wait until tomorrow and install R-2.0.1 (released then) from 
the sources.

Would greatly appreciate  your advice in solving the problem.

filename ie sourcefile_index.png so that I can create a movie from
them.

Please could someone tell me where I am going wrong?

the following code works fine and outputs to screen:

Re: [R] Exporting to file: passing source name to file name in loop

2004-11-14 Thread Prof Brian Ripley
What does `it doesn't work' actually mean?  Please read the posting guide

Also, please show us readable and properly indented code, using spaces 
consistently.  (There is a chapter in `Writing R Extensions' showing you 
how to do this.)  I just cannot parse your code, and suspect you cannot

[R] solving system of nonlinear equations

2004-11-14 Thread Enayetur RAHEEM
Hello there

Can anybody please tell me if there is any package in R to solve the
following 4 nonlinear equations with 4 unknowns:

alpha*exp(20/sigma)+ beta*exp(21/tau) = 2
alpha*exp(22/sigma)+ beta*exp(9/tau) = 4
alpha*exp(10/sigma)+ beta*exp(30/tau) = 6
alpha*exp(40/sigma)+ beta*exp(39/tau) = 5

where 

alpha = exp(lambda/sigma)
beta= exp(delta/tau)

I need to estimate lambda, sigma, delta, tau

Thanks.

Re: [R] Exporting to file: passing source name to file name in loop

2004-11-14 Thread Laura Quinn
Apologies - Sunday afternoon coding, not my forte.

I am trying to pass the name of my input variable x (my.data) into the
name of my output file, and am wanting to combine this with a count
value.

I hope that this code is a little more readable (though I seem to be
having problems pasting the formatting into my email composition):

fun_pca_vector_movie_plot - function (x,y,z,t) {
  zz=seq(1,(nrow(x)-t),by=t);jj=seq(t+1,(nrow(x)),by=t)
for(i in seq(along=zz)){
   plot.new()

png(file=(paste(as.character(x),.,i,.png,sep=)),width=240,height=240)
pca-prcomp(x[zz[i]:jj[i],], retx=T, center=T,scale=T)
  {
   par(mfrow=c(1,z))

   angle=30,length=0.05,code=2)

 box()
 }
   dev.off()
 }
   }

I get a syntax error relating to the as.character(x) part of the file
name - if I remove this, the code works fine for the rest of the file
extension. I have tried deparse(x) but this returns a file extension of
the following nature:

You should try something like:

png(file=paste(substitute(x),.,i,.png,sep=),width=240,height=240)

Also, drop the 'plot.new()', it's useless. png() already sets up
a new ploting device.

I am quite new to R and for preofessional reasons I was interested in the

Any suggestions how to fix this. How do run this application in R.

[R] Combining expressions and objects within labels

2004-11-14 Thread Jose A. Hernandez
Hello all,
I am an R novice and I have a simple question and hope somebody can help 
me out.

I need to place several labels in a plot, this labels are some kind of 
text and also some objects (which come from some more complicated R 
calculations).

In one of this labels I'd like to place a superscript, however I cannot 
find a way to place both the expression and the object in the same label.

Thanks in advance and best regards.
Please look at the example below:
# my objects
eonr - 75
yldeonr - 150
r_2 - 0.95
# the plot and simple labels
plot(0:100, 0:100)
text(60,40, paste(EONR=,eonr))
text(60,36, paste(Yield at EONR=,yldeonr))
# I'd like to place the superscript on the r
text(60,32, paste(Pseudo r^2=,r_2))
# This does not seem to work ... I can get the subscript
# but now I cannot paste the r_2 object. Any ideas ?

Re: [R] solving system of nonlinear equations

2004-11-14 Thread Spencer Graves
 Have you considered nls?  If you read the help file and work 
through the examples, there is a good chance you can make it work, I 
think.  I think I would start trying plinear in nls, parameterizing 
the problem in terms of alpha, beta, ln.sigma, and ln.tau, unless you 
think a solution might require sigma  0 or tau  0.  Using logarithms 
will get rid of the constraint and may make the problem numerically 
easier.  Using alpha and beta rather than lambda and delta transforms 
the problem into an ordinary least squares problem for alpha and beta 
given any two numbers for sigma and tau (or ln.sigma and ln.tau).  

 If I had trouble with this, I might try two other things: 

 (a) The solver in Excel. 

 (b) I might generate a grid in ln.sigma and ln.tau using 
expand.grid.  For each combination of levels, I'd set up the linear 
regression problem and use lm to estimate alpha and beta and compute 
and store the sum of squares of residuals.  Then I'd use contour to 
visualize the sum of squares surface. 

 I've done all these things with crudely similar problems in the 
past and been happy with the results.  If I only had this one problem, 
I'd be surprised if it would require more than a few hours.  If I wanted 
a general algorithm for other purposes, I might do it two or three 
different ways both to help select a good algorithm and to build 
confidence in the results. 

 hope this helps. 
 spencer graves
p.s.  Some of these techniques are discussed in Venables and Ripley 
(2002) Modern Applied Statistics with S, 4th ed. (Springer).  If you 
don't have this, I'd encourage you to consider spending some time with it.

  Hi all!
  
  Did I miss something or is it just a temporary problem? Where has

  http://cran.r-project.org woody/main Packages
  resp.

  gone? I tried it for about the last 7 hours.

 It has been turned off by the CRAN masters as the content had slipped

 Current R and CRAN packages are on the Debian archives; you can install
 these on testing too.  To the best of my knowledge, there are no backports
 of current R and Debian CRAN packages to Debian stable. 

Upon re-reading this, I should clarify that in this context CRAN packages
refers to the several dozen CRAN packages that are in Debian; the list is
growing but still far from exhaustive.
