 I am not sure that the code really speaks for itself.  What is the bug?
 Note that as.Date converts dates relative to GMT, not the current time
 zone.  If you want to convert a POSIXct date to a Date date relative
 to the current timezone you can convert it to character first.  RNews 4/1
 has a table that provides a number of such idioms.

[R] How to plot

2005-02-28 Thread WeiQiang . Li
Hello,

I would like to know if R provides the similar function to produce 
the 4-in-1 graph (Normal Plot of Residuals, I Chart of Residuals, 
Histogram of Residuals  Residuals vs Fits) as MiniTab. If do not 
have, could anyone please tell me how to produce above-mentioned 
individual chart?

Your help is greatly appreciated.

Re: [R] How to plot

2005-02-28 Thread Dimitris Rizopoulos
you could use directly the plot function on an `lm' object, e.g.,
x - runif(100, -3, 3)
y - 1 + 2*x + rnorm(100)
m - lm(y~x)
par(mfrow=c(2,2))
plot(m)
This doesn't produce the I Chart you wanted but it gives a very good 
picture about any strange behaviour of the residuals.

I hope it helps.

RE: [R] averaging within columns

2005-02-28 Thread Rau, Roland
Hi, 

 I'm hoping there is something like
 
 mean(dataname$wtime[name])
 
 which will just create a column with length equal to the number of 
 different names (levels) and an average wtime for each.  So 
 far though, 
 I haven't had much luck figuring that one out.
 

Does the following code do what you want?

 given you have the data like this:
name - c(rep(jo, 4), rep(tim,3), rep(ro, 2))
wtime - c(1,2,1,3,3,2,2,1,2)
mydf - data.frame(name=name, wtime=wtime)

 this should give you the desired result
tapply(X=mydf$wtime, INDEX=list(mydf$name), FUN=mean)


Hope this turns out to be useful.

Best,
Roland

On Windows, I presume?

Did you read the Windows FAQ, Q.2.17?

In all cases, you could try to download the ZIP file using your
browser and then install from local ZIP file. If you cannot download
that way either, well, the problem is not in R, then.

Notice that you need the Windows binary (*.zip) not the *.tar.gz or
*.tgz files, which contain source distributions and Macintosh files
respectively (unless I guessed your system incorrectly, of course...)

Either ask your supervisor or look at CRAN. You can compile from sources 
yourself, so get the sources from CRAN, or try to get a binary 
corresponding to your operating system. We do not know anything about 
your operating system ...
If my guess that you are working under Windows is correct, also Google 
(looking for CRAN R Windows binary) points to the same diretory that 
one finds when navigating through CRAN.

Because it is a property of the definition, not of the data. E.g. if
you tabulate it, you generally want to get a zero entry if there are
no bs in the data. If, for some reason, you want to reduce the
factor to only those levels that are present, factor() gets you there
soon enough:

RE: [R] 3d scatterplots of more than 1 data set

2005-02-28 Thread John Fox
Dear Saurav,

The scatter3d() function in the Rcmdr package will plot by groups, using
different colours for the groups. The function can be used directly or
called via the Rcmdr menus. scatter3d() appears to do what you want, but in
any event is a straightforward function, and you should be able to alter it,
or simply add to the plot using, e.g., rgl.spheres() from the rgl package.

I hope this helps,

  that is what i need.  but i cannot seem to code different 
 sets of data differently.  any help will be very helpful.
 
 i tried scatterplot3d, but it is difficult to get the right 
 angle in it.  i need to be able to rotate the axes, and 
 export an eps file from the right angle.
 
 thanks in advance.

Extract or Replace Parts of a Factor

Description:

 Extract or replace subsets of factors.

Usage:

 x[i, drop = FALSE]

 x[i] - value

Arguments:

   x: a factor

   i: a specification of indices - see 'Extract'.

drop: logical.  If true, unused levels are dropped.
***
default is FALSE so unused levels are retained.

factor(data_ac$F1)

gives you the same factor with only existing levels.

See ?[.factor for details. You will note that the argument 'drop' is
FALSE by default, which means that unused levels of a factor are not
dropped when subsetting.

This can be important if you might want to join or compare factors from
more than one source, where you want to ensure that the factor levels
are the same. If you were to drop the unused levels in one factor, but
it is present in the other, the comparison would be problematic, since
the levels for the same values in the two factors would be different.

If you want to force the unused levels to be dropped before using a
factor, just use:

 data_ac$F1 - factor(data_ac$F1)

 data_ac$F1
[1] a a a a c c c c
Levels: a c

See ?factor for more information.

[R] [R-pkgs] New package: ROCR (Visualizing classifier performance)

2005-02-28 Thread Tobias Sing
Dear R users,

we are glad to announce the release of our new R package ROCR, for visualizing 
the performance of scoring classifiers (available on CRAN). We hope that the 
package might be useful for those of you working on classification problems. 
For details, see the package description below, or the ROCR website: 
http://rocr.bioinf.mpi-sb.mpg.de. You can get a short overview by typing 
'demo(ROCR)'. Any kind of feedback (questions, comments, suggestions, bug 
reports) is very welcome.

Best regards,
  the ROCRs (Tobias Sing, Oliver Sander, Niko Beerenwinkel, Thomas Lengauer)

Package description:
-
ROC graphs, sensitivity/specificity curves, lift charts, and precision/recall 
plots are popular examples of trade-off visualizations for specific pairs of 
performance measures. ROCR is a flexible tool for creating 
cutoff-parametrized 2D performance curves by freely combining two from over 
25 performance measures (new performance measures can be added using a 
standard interface). Curves from different cross-validation or bootstrapping 
runs can be averaged by different methods, and standard deviations, standard 
errors or box plots can be used to visualize the variability across the runs. 
The parametrization can be visualized by printing cutoff values at the 
corresponding curve positions, or by coloring the curve according to cutoff. 
All components of a performance plot can be quickly adjusted using a flexible 
parameter dispatching mechanism. Despite its flexibility, ROCR is easy to 
use, with only three commands and reasonable default values for all optional 
parameters.

[R] Legal issues

2005-02-28 Thread Kenneth Cabrera
Hi R Users:
I have some legal questions about R development.
R is under GNU Licence, version 2.
How the core team deal with their employer (most of the cases
it Universities, I don't know if public or private) about
their contribution to R development?
Do you have to make all the work outside the institution?
Is it part of the work at the institution, the R development?
Do the institution give resources to the team, for example,
the computer server where R is allocated?
Thank you very much for your help!

Re: [R] prediction, gam, mgcv

 My model is of the form:
 mod-gam(y~s(x0)+s(x1)+s(x2),family=poisson).

 But I want to get
 estimate and standard error of the difference of two fitted values.
 

The following code shows you how to do this (a) for differences on the 
scale of the linear predictor, and (b) for differences on the scale of the 
response. (Could be made more efficient at the cost of being a bit less 
readable)

best,
Simon


## simulating data

f - 0.2*x^11*(10*(1-x))^6+10*(10*x)^3*(1-x)^10
f - exp(f/5)
y - rpois(f,f)

## fit gam
mod - gam(y~s(x),family=poisson)

## creat prediction data frame
pd - data.frame(x=c(.5,.6))

## create matrix, Xp, mapping parameters to linear predictor
Xp - predict(mod,pd,type=lpmatrix)

### First working on scale of linear predictor, repeatedly using
### fact that if X=CY where C is a matrix of coefficients and
### X and Y are random vectors, then cov(X) = C cov(Y) C'

## extract model coefficients and their covariance matrix

## obtain predictions and their covariance matrix

## find difference and associated standard deviation
diff - c(1,-1)
diff.pred - t(diff)%*%pred
diff.sd - sqrt(t(diff)%*%Vpred%*%diff)

### Now working on response scale, by simulation

## simulate 1000 rep. param. vectors from posterior distn...

Cute but unfortunately not very legible. Why are you mixing = and
- ? Is there a problem with space bars and return key on your
keyboard ? Please learn to wrap the emails at about 72 characters per
line (see http://expita.com/nomime.html).


  dp - 
  function(s,a,h)sum((sx==s)(ag==a)(ho==h)(ot==1))/sum((sx==s)(ag==a)(ho==h))

  (function(x,y)dp(1,x,y))(2,3)
 [1] NaN
  (function(x,y)dp(0,x,y))(27,52)
 [1] NaN

Again this is confusing. Why not define another function (you will need
to anyway - see below). 

Alternatively, you can set 1 as the default value for s in dp().  

  dpm - outer(ag,ho,function(x,y)dp(1,x,y))
 Error in outer(ag, ho, function(x, y) dp(1, x, y)) : 
  dim- : dims [product 100] do not match the length of object [1]

From help(outer) :

'FUN' must be a function (or the name of it) which expects at
least two arguments and which operates elementwise on arrays.


And following the suggestion of Prof. Daalgard in the thread
http://tolstoy.newcastle.edu.au/R/help/00a/1445.html

dp.vect - function(s, x, y){
  sapply( 1:length(x), function(i) dp( s=s, a=x[i], h=y[i]) )
}
outer(ag, ho, FUN=dp.vect, s=1 )
# works but I leave the verification to you



Your problem could be generalised as the following example

one - rnorm(3); two - rnorm(4) # data
outer( one, two, function(x, y) x + y )  # works fine
outer( one, two, function(x, y) sum(c(x, y)) )   # does not work

sum.vect - function(x, y){
  sapply( 1:length(x), function(i) sum( c( x[i], y[i] ) ) )
}
outer( one, two, sum.vect )



  dpf - outer(ag,ho,function(x,y)dp(0,x,y))
 Error in outer(ag, ho, function(x, y) dp(0, x, y)) : 
  dim- : dims [product 100] do not match the length of object [1]

[R] [R-pkgs] phpSerialize 0.8

2005-02-28 Thread Dieter Menne
New on CRAN: phpSerialize Version 0.8
Dieter Menne, [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Serializes R objects for PHP import into an associative array. 
Main use is for building web pages with R-support. 

Has mainly been tested with lm,lme, nlme and their summaries.

A web example is provide, showing

-- How to start R from php/Apache
-- How to pass variables from php to R via Environment
-- How to create serialized php output from R
-- How to read the serialize output from php/Apache via pipe
-- How to display individual results in a table
-- How to display the structure of the associative array.

For example, the following R structure...

  Delta=as.numeric(Sys.getenv(DELTA)) # Get Info from php
  wc = wilcox.test(rnorm(10),rnorm(10)+Delta)

... is is piped to standard output
  cat(phpSerialize(wc),\n)

... and after deserialization

  $pp = popen($Rterm --no-save  --slave  21  $RFile DELTA=$Delta,r);
  // Read serialized R output via pipe.
  $sWilcox=fgets($pp);
  pclose($pp);
  $Wilcox=unserialize($sWilcox);
  print_r($Wilcox);

... prints as follows:

Array
(
  [statistic] = Array
  (
[W] = 29
  )

  [parameter] = 
  [p.value] = 0.1230055
  [null.value] = Array
  (
[mu] = 0

  [alternative] = two.sided
  [method] = Wilcoxon rank sum test
  [data.name] = rnorm(10) and rnorm(10) + Delta

[R] Using mutiply imputed data in NLME

2005-02-28 Thread Shige Song
Dear All,

I am doing a growth modeling using NLME. I have three levels in my
data: observation, individual, household. About half of my total
sample have missing values in my household-level covariates. Under
this situation, the best way to go is probably to multiply impute the
data (for, say, 5 times), estimate the same model separately on each
model using LME function, and merge the results. My question is: given
the multiply imputed data sets have already been generated, is there a
simple way to automate the process of estimating the mixed model and
merging the results? HLM has similar features...

Thanks!

Best,
Shige

[R] draw random samples from empirical distribution

Dear useRs,

I have an empirical distribution (not normal etc) and I want to draw
random samples from it. One solution I can think of is to compute let's
say 100 quantiles, then use runif() to draw a random number Q between 1
and 100, and finally run runif() again to pull a random value from the
quantile Q. Is there perhaps a better/more elegant way of doing this?

Thank you,

[R] formatting output

2005-02-28 Thread Peyuco Porras Porras .

   Dear R-users

   A  basic  question  that I wasn't able to solve: Is it possible to get
   the  results  of the function 'quantile' expressed as data.frame? What
   I'm  doing  is  to  apply the following code to get the quantiles in a
   particular dataset:

   tmp-tapply(data$DEN,list(Age=data$AGE,Sex=data$SEX),quantile)

   and  then I save this output to HTML using the library R2HTML. However
   in  order  to  format  the  tables  in  HTML I have to use the command
   HTML.data.frame(...)  which  allows  me  to  define,  for example, the
   number of digits in the html table.

   But  the object 'tmp' is not a dataframe and I can't coarce it to this
   format.  Is  it  possible  to  get  the  results of this function as a
   dataframe? I  know  that  I'm probably missing some important concepts
   here but Im not very good in programming.

   Any hint will be appreciated

Short and Rpad at http://www.rpad.org/Rpad/Rpad-refcard.pdf  or on the
Contributed link on CRAN (where some other reference cards are also
linked) useful. It categorizes and organizes a bunch of R's (S's) basic,
most used functions so that they can be easily found. For example, paste()
is under the Strings heading and expand.grid() is under Data Creation.
For newbies struggling to find the right R function as well as veterans who
can't quite remember the function name, it's very handy.

[R] fitting gamma using glm

2005-02-28 Thread Daniel Bogod
The data in Table 1, which is Table T.1 in Cox  Snell's Applied
Statistics, gives
the intervals in service-hours between failures of the
air-conditioning eequipment in 10 Boeing 720 jet aircraft. The
following possible models are under consideration:
(a) separate gamma distributions fitted to all aircraft, with 20 parameters;
(b) separate gamma distributions with a common shape, with 11 parameters;
(c) espearate exponential distributions to all aircraft (shape= 1,
separate ), with 10
parameters;
(d) common exponential distribution to all aircraft (shape = 1), with
1 parameter.

http://www.utstat.toronto.edu/reid/sta410/hw2.pdf


I am having trouble in fitting gamma to the 10 different airplanes
using only one shape parameter.

Hopefully, somebody can suggest  a way to specify the model to be used in R.
I tried to join all 10 datasets into 1, but the estimate I get in
gamma.shape() is not reasonable.

Thank you

[R] number formatting

Dear R People:
I have used the command round(x,3) to produce values with 3 places to the 
right of the decimal.

Is there any command to remove the leading zero before the decimal point, 
please:  that is, if I have 0.375, how do I produce just .375, please?

Of course, that means you'll be storing this number as a character, but
if you're looking to format how the number is printed, that's probably
what you want.

[R] problems with Rd format

2005-02-28 Thread Renaud Lancelot
Dear R-helpers,
I have an Rd file with a section:
\details{
  The model is:\cr
  \eqn{y | \lambda ~ Binomial(n, \lambda)},\cr
  [snip]
  }
I would like the equation line to be indented, with a \tab character for 
example. How can I do that ?

Moreover, the panel of greek letters available in HTML files generated 
from Rd files looks very limited (e.g., \eqn{\phi} produces phi, not the 
corresponding greek letter). Is there a way to overcome this in HTML files ?

Thanks and best regards,
Renaud

Dear R-users
 
A  basic  question  that I wasn't able to solve: Is it possible to get
the  results  of the function 'quantile' expressed as data.frame? What
I'm  doing  is  to  apply the following code to get the quantiles in a
particular dataset:
 
tmp-tapply(data$DEN,list(Age=data$AGE,Sex=data$SEX),quantile)
 
and  then I save this output to HTML using the library R2HTML. However
in  order  to  format  the  tables  in  HTML I have to use the command
HTML.data.frame(...)  which  allows  me  to  define,  for example, the
number of digits in the html table.
 
But  the object 'tmp' is not a dataframe and I can't coarce it to this
format.  Is  it  possible  to  get  the  results of this function as a
dataframe? I  know  that  I'm probably missing some important concepts
here but Im not very good in programming.
 
Any hint will be appreciated


Here is one approach, using an expansion of one of the examples in
?tapply:

# Get quantiles of 'breaks' for each combination of 'wool' and 'tension'
 my.tmp - tapply(warpbreaks$breaks, 
   list(warpbreaks$wool, warpbreaks$tension), quantile)

# Note that my.tmp is a 2 x 6 matrix of list elements
# with each list element being the results of quantile
# on each combination of 'wool' and 'tension'

 my.tmp
  L M H
A Numeric,5 Numeric,5 Numeric,5
B Numeric,5 Numeric,5 Numeric,5


For example:

 my.tmp[1, 1]
[[1]]
  0%  25%  50%  75% 100%
  25   26   51   54   70


Now get this into a manageable structure by taking each list element in
my.tmp and converting it into a row in a new matrix, use:

 my.mat - do.call(rbind, my.tmp)

 my.mat
 0% 25% 50% 75% 100%
[1,] 25  26  51  54   70
[2,] 14  20  29  31   44
[3,] 12  18  21  30   36
[4,] 16  21  28  39   42
[5,] 10  18  24  28   43
[6,] 13  15  17  21   28


From there, you can set the rownames for the matrix, as you require,
based upon the combinations of the vectors in your data. For example,
using expand.grid():

 my.names - expand.grid(dimnames(my.tmp))

 my.names
  Var1 Var2
1AL
2BL
3AM
4BM
5AH
6BH

 rownames(my.mat) - paste(my.names$Var1, my.names$Var2, sep = :)

 my.mat
0% 25% 50% 75% 100%
A:L 25  26  51  54   70
B:L 14  20  29  31   44
A:M 12  18  21  30   36
B:M 16  21  28  39   42
A:H 10  18  24  28   43
B:H 13  15  17  21   28


There might be an easier way, but that's my quick thought.

HTH,

Marc Schwartz

[R] Re: R-help Digest, Vol 24, Issue 28

2005-02-28 Thread John Maindonald
You've omitted a comma. races2000 is a data frame,
which for purposes of extracting rows behaves like
a 2-dimenional object.  The following works fine:
  hills2000 - races2000[races2000$type == 'hill', ]
Additionally, you might like to ponder
   type - races2000[names(races2000)==type]
   type[1:4]
  Error in [.data.frame(type, 1:4) : undefined columns selected
   length(type)  # type is a data frame with 1 column
  [1] 1
   vtype - unlist(type)# Extract the vector that is the one
 # data frame (list) element
   vtype[1:4]  # Try also length(vtype)
  type.type1 type.type2 type.type3 type.type4
uphillotherotherrelay
Your syntax (without the comma) does give a result,
providing that the dimensions match (the condition must
have the same number of elements as races2000 has
columns), but it is probably not the result that you want!
See further pp.320-321 of the DAAG book.

Subject: [R] subsetting data set dimenion problem
(See DAAG book, p. 173, ex. 3)
I'm a new user of R, and I'm following the DAAG text. I want to create 
a subset of the races2000 data frame, but get errors because of a 
mismatch of values in some columns:

 library(DAAG)
 attach(races2000)
 hills2000 - races2000[races2000$type == 'hill']
Error in as.matrix.data.frame(x) : dim- : dims [product 770] do not 
match the length of object [771]

However, if I follow the solution given, and remove redundant columns 
1 through 6 and column 11 (which I won't need, since I know they are 
going to have the same value), I don't get the error:

 hills2000 - races2000[races2000$type == 'hill', -c(1:6,11)]
 hills2000
   dist climb  time  timef
Tiso Carnethy  6.00  2500 0.782  0.9191667
[...]
Cornalees  5.50   800 0.618 NA
[...]
What is causing the error with my original subsetting? I speculated it 
was related to the NA values, but there is an NA in the resulting 
hills2000, corresponding to the Cornalees hill race.

Thanks,
Clint

Well, use markup that allows \tab: if you want a table, use \tabular.
But if you find yourself doing this, you are not in the spirit of layout 
languages, and Rd is a layout language.

Moreover, the panel of greek letters available in HTML files generated from 
Rd files looks very limited (e.g., \eqn{\phi} produces phi, not the

What HTML 4.0 _guarantees_ a browser can show is very limited, and does 
not include phi (at least according to my HTML 4.0 book).  So, not in 
strict HTML.

Gabor,

I had my head wrapped around trying to figure out a solution in a post

Better solution.

Thanks,

[R] packages masking other objects

2005-02-28 Thread James Smith
hello all, 

I am trying to use the function getCovariateFormula(nlme) in conjunction with 
the library lme4. When I load both packages I get the following message and the 
getCovariateFormula function no longer works:

library(nlme)
library(lme4)

Attaching package 'lme4':


The following object(s) are masked from package:nlme :

 contr.SAS getCovariateFormula getResponseFormula groupedData 
lmeControl 

I have tried removing the package after using it, with:
detach(package:lme4)
library(nlme)

but I still get an error message when I try to use getCovariateFormula. The 
line I use it in, and the error message is below:

rownames(table)-c((getCovariateFormula(model1)),(getCovariateFormula(model2)),(getCovariateFormula(model3)),(getCovariateFormula(model4)),(getCovariateFormula(model5)),(getCovariateFormula(model6)),(getCovariateFormula(modelnull)))

Error in switch(mode(x), NULL = structure(NULL, class = formula),  : 
invalid formula

This line works fine when I run models with different structures that are not 
in the lme4 package.
Does anyone have any suggestions about this ?
Am I not removing the package completely ?

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated
Thanks

[R] Problems Building Ron AIX 5.2.0.0 (Solved)

2005-02-28 Thread paul . boutros
Happily I got this to work, largely by trial-and-error.  In hopes that this 
will 
help somebody else, my config.site ended up being:
OBJECT_MODE=64
R_PAPERSIZE=letter
CC=/usr/local/bin/gcc
MAIN_LDFLAGS=-Wl,-brtl
SHLIB_LDFLAGS=-Wl,-G

Which is virtually identical to that recommended in R-admin: one of my problems 
was using -W1,brtl rather than -W1,-brtl.  This was R 2.0.1
on AIX 5.2.0.0 with GCC 3.3.2

The previous messages I'd posted on this issue are included below.

My apologies -- I had believed that by linking the source message I
had made the detailed context available.  I will be more careful in
the future to correctly give full context.

Re: [R] (no subject)

2005-02-28 Thread Adaikalavan Ramasamy
Reading the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html
will tell you to specify an informative subject line in your postings.

You can change working directory by using setwd(), see help(setwd).
For example setwd(c:\My Documents) might work. I am not sure if you
need to truncate the path names to 8 characters anymore.


But if you want to read files in other directory, you can do so without
changing your current working directory. As long as you can supply the
absolute or full path, you should be fine.

For example read.delim(file=c:\My Documents\project1\datafile.txt)
would read that file into R regardless of current directory. 

If you use absolute paths and if you saved the commands onto a script
file, then you can re-execute these command under whatever version of R.
I would recommend this approach since you will have a rather static
working directory.

[R] variable importance in random forest

2005-02-28 Thread Murad Nayal


Hello,

In Breiman papers on random forests 4 variable importance measures are
described. as far as I can tell only two are available in the random
forest R package. reduction in accuracy when the variable is permuted,
and the mean decrease in the gini index due to the variable (no
permutation). is this gini measure computed on the training set or the
OOB cases?. in any event, Breiman actually seems to prefer a different
measure based on average lowering of margin across all cases when the
variable is permuted. is there any way to get this 'margin-based'
variable importance measure from the result returned by the randomForest
function? or do I have to use the original Breiman code to get access to
this measure?

I am using randomForest package release 4.3

many thanks
Murad Nayal

Have you tried printing other documents in black and white on the same

hopefully eliminate printer as a possible culprit. Dying printer toners

Dear R-helpers,

Well, use markup that allows \tab: if you want a table, use \tabular.
But if you find yourself doing this, you are not in the spirit of layout 
languages, and Rd is a layout language.

Moreover, the panel of greek letters available in HTML files generated 
from Rd files looks very limited (e.g., \eqn{\phi} produces phi, not 
the corresponding greek letter). Is there a way to overcome this in 
HTML files ?

What HTML 4.0 _guarantees_ a browser can show is very limited, and does 
not include phi (at least according to my HTML 4.0 book).  So, not in 
strict HTML.
Thanks for your reply. I got a nice result (in text and HTML) with:

Re: [R] Sweave and \input or \include LaTeX commands

2005-02-28 Thread Gregor GORJANC
Hi!
What is wrong if there would be the same command? Recall my example from 
previous posts and at the end of this mail. If I have a file a.Rnw and this
one inputs file a1.Rnw. My idea was that Sweave would check \input{a1} or 
\include{a1} statements. If file a1 would have extension .Rnw it would
parse it otherwise (i.e. having .tex) it would skip it. Sweave would just 
parse .Rnw files, while latex would put all of them in one file during 
typesetting.

Example:
- we have files
  a.Rnw, which has \input{a1} or \include{a1}
  a1.Rnw
- run Sweave(a.Rnw) and you get
  a.tex
  a1.tex
- run LaTeX (i.e. texi2dvi --pdf a.tex) and you get
  a.pdf
Having new command i.e. \SweaveInput{} would also do the job perfectly,
however I don't se any new benefits of it. One should write more or less 
the same R code as for \input or \include.

---
[...]
   Gabor
   Since this might not be desirable in all instances,
   if Sweave were to have an include facility then it should
   not be implemented in such a way that the latex include facility
   can no longer be used.  The point was just that it should be possible
   to do the include at the Sweave or at the latex level.
Friedrich
I agree that it should not be the same command. I have put an
\SweaveInput{} on my 2do list, should be doable for R 2.1.0.
