Re: [R] how to write and read an array ?

 check ?dput and ?dget

Thanks for the answer.
dput and dget work well (even if the internal data
writing is not as directly readable as with write.table())

(When I'll be grown-up with R, I'll write a write.3dtable()
function.)

Thanks.

[R] equal

2005-10-28 Thread Sam R. Smith
using the same a and b, why solve(a,b) get a 1 by n
matrix while solve(a)%*%b get a n by 1 matrix.
I thought they should be equal to each other...

Re: [R] its dates masked by chron

 Uwe,
 
 It was unclear whether you were referring to chron or its as being
 unmaintained.
 
 I still maintain its, and I'm actually releasing a new version tonight
 since Kurt has pointed out that the current version is failing package
 checking.

Whit,

that's great!

I was waiting for an its update for quite some time now, you have never 
reacted to my automatically generated request to fix your package with 
R-2.2.0 release nor have you worked on the problem that causes a Warning 
in all current checks for R = 2.2.0, hence I thought the package is 
rather unmaintained.


 It seems that both its and chron use namespaces.  I thought the intent
 of namespaces was to prevent problems like this.

I have to apologize (see Brian Ripley's reply), because I haven't tested 
myself that library(its) in fact does not cause chron to be loaded.
Hence Namespace stuff should be sufficient. I was just wondering why 
someone would use the same name for a function that is masked by a 
package that automatically is attached some microseconds after 
library(its) is called.

Best,
Uwe


 If there are namespace experts out there who can suggest a fix to this
 problem, I'm happy to put it into the next release.

How can I specify tehat I want to use dates from its or how can I
prevent it from being masked?

Re: [R] How to manipulate an abitrary dimensioned array.

 Thanks for the suggestion.
 Perhaps I can see how to use apply to get the ratio, but say I also want 
 to return X[1] in a general way.  Maybe I am being dense but I just 
 don't see it --- probably as a result of too much Perl/Python/Java 
 recently that is clouding my mind.

I think Berton was hinting at

   apply(X,5,[,1)

(it does get trickier if you need X[,,2,,,1] or X[,,3:4,,,1:2] because
dimensions tend to get lost on the way into and out of the apply FUN
argument.)

In general, you can use do.call constructs, with TRUE for the missing
arguments (there seems to be no nice way to pass missing to do.call).
 
 So can someone suggest a general function that will give me the last 
 layer of an arbitrary dimensioned array?

 Sorry for reposting, but even after extensive search I still did not 
 find any answers.
 
 using: 
 summary(aov(pointErrorAbs~noOfSegments*turnAngle+Error(subj/(noOfSegments+turnAngle)),
  
 data=anovaAllData ))
 
 with subj being a random factor and noOfSegments and turnAngle being 
 fixed factors, I get the following results:

 No I trying to fit the same data with lme and using the following call:
 
 anova(lme(fixed=pointErrorAbs~noOfSegments*turnAngle, random=~1|subj, 
 data=anovaAllData))
 
 Unfortunately the results are 'really' different from the aov() 
 procedure (I guess I have the call wrong):
 

Maybe the following post concerning repeated measures and ANOVA can help:

(from http://tolstoy.newcastle.edu.au/~rking/R/help/03b/7663.html)

  $ anova(lme(DV ~ GROUP*TRIAL,random= ~1|SUB, correlation=corCompSymm() ))
 
 (TRIAL and GROUP are fixed factors)
 
 Actually, you do not need lme for to run a repeated measure anova.
 You could use the aov function:
 
  $ summary(aov(DV~GROUP*TRIAL+Error(SUB/TRIAL)))
 
  ... yields the same results (when data are balanced)

i also had a problem getting 2.2.0 to work with tcltk on SuSE 10.0...
and with compiling R from source on SuSE 10.0.

on getting tcltk to work:

i ended up taking source for tcl and tk from
http://www.tcl.tk/software/tcltk/
and recompiling; once you unpack the tar.gz the install instructions are
in the directory /unix for both programs.  after that then

 capabilities()

shows tcltk is TRUE and it works fine.  i'm not sure if this was the
easiest solution, but it worked.

on getting SuSE 10 to compile R from source:  i was unable to use Yast to
get a fortran compiler and ended up recompiling gcc to include
gfortran from the source  (at e.g.
http://gcc.fyxm.net/releases/gcc-4.0.2/  )  if you want some more detailed
instructions feel free to mail me.

best regards and good luck.

[R] Random effect models

2005-10-28 Thread Jacques VESLOT
Dear R-users,

Sorry for reposting. I put it in another way :

I want to test random effects in this random effect model :
Rendement ~ Pollinisateur (random) + Lignee (random) + Pollinisateur:Lignee 
(random)

Of course :
summary(aov(Rendement ~ Pollinisateur * Lignee, data = mca2))
gives wrong tests for random effects.

But :
summary(aov1 - aov(Rendement ~ Error(Pollinisateur * Lignee), data = mca2))
gives no test at all, and I have to do it with mean squares lying in 
summary(aov1).

With lme4 package (I did'nt succeed in writing a working formula with lme 
from nlme package),
I can see standard deviations of random effects (I don't know how to find 
them) but I can't find F 
tests for random effects.

I only want to know if there is an easy way (a function ?) to do F tests for 
random effects in 
random effect models.

Thanks in advance.

Best regards,

Jacques VESLOT

Re: [R] Random effect models

2005-10-28 Thread Doran, Harold
Dear Jacques

I think your question is a little confusing, but let me take a stab at
what I think you're getting at. It seems you are trying to find the
statistical significance of a variance component in your lme model, and
not the significance of a fixed effect. If this is what you are looking
for you will not find this as standard output in lme or lmer. Not in
summary() or anova()

I don't know what you mean by I can see the sd of ranodm effects but
you do not know how to find them

Other software programs for mixed linear models do indeed provide this
as ouput, but not the mixed model functions in R. This topic has been
discussed often on this list and the package developer, Doug Bates, has
noted numerous times, with good empirical examples, why such a test may
potentially be misleading. Use the archives to study this rationale and
see the numerous threads on the topic.

Note that the standard deviations of the random effects are *not* the
standard errors of those variance components.

I also noticed you are loading the lme4 library and using lmer. You
should load Matrix, which has the most recent lmer function in that
package.

If I am mistaken, then please clarify and maybe someone else can help.

Re: [R] Problems with source() function

2005-10-28 Thread Al
Thank you for your answer :)

I've tested your suggestion but without success. The remote load process
is truncated silently using

source(textConnection(readLines(url(http://...)))

when look at the contents there's not a fixed point of break, is
different each time I execute the command. Therefore the dropped lines
are different every time. It seems the only constant is the time of the
interruption (1 min 55 secs in my system).

Loading the file in a browser (it loads always complete) and examining
the text, there's no apparent malformation in the rupture points.

The longest line is 669 chars and is perfectly loaded in remote and
local mode:

 lineas - readLines(transcripts_moe430a.R)
 length(lineas)
[1] 20347
 max(nchar(lineas))
[1] 669
 which(nchar(lineas)==669)
[1] 3241
 lineas - readLines(url
(http://10.10.10.3:83/probefinder/scripts/probegrouper.php?chip=moe430amode=transcript;))
 length(lineas)
[1] 7471
 max(nchar(lineas))
[1] 669
 which(nchar(lineas)==669)
[1] 3242

Apparently there's a timeout in the url() or some subordinated function.
I will try to use the RCurl package but, for educational purposes, I
prefer that the load process were managed in a simply way... with an
source() for example, in order to not overload alumni with tricky
methods...

Thank you again.

 when you just use readLines() and look at the contents
 of the download.
 
 And how long is the longest line?
 
 
 The RCurl package  (http://www.omegahat.org/RCurl) gives you a lot of
 control in perform and processing HTTP requests, allowing
 you to control the request, and read the body and the header of the

  It delays 30 secs to load.
  
  When I source the data from the dynamic way, from an url, it delays 2

[R] multiple graphs in the same ps file ?

2005-10-28 Thread Florence Combes
Dear all,

I would like to be able to store multiple graphs in one ps or pdf file, but
I cannot achieve this only if I don't shut the postscript device between
the graphs.

here is what I managed to do :
 postscript(file=test_graph.eps, onefile=TRUE)
 plot(1:10)
 plot(1:20)

 dev.off()
---

but when I try :

 postscript(file=test_graph.eps, onefile=TRUE)
 plot(1:10)
 dev.off
[execution of another part of the code and then:]
 plot(1:20)
 dev.print(postscript, onefile=TRUE)
 dev.off()

I only have one page in my file test_graph.eps which only contains the
last graphics.

So I wonder : is it possible to reopen a ps or pdf file and to add data (I
tried the append=TRUE option but without success) ?

Thanks a lot

Florence.

[R] multiple graphs in the same ps file ? -- with ref.

Subject: multiple graphs in the same ps file ?
To: r-help@stat.math.ethz.ch

Dear all,

I would like to be able to store multiple graphs in one ps or pdf file, but
I cannot achieve this only if I don't shut the postscript device between
the graphs.

here is what I managed to do :
 postscript(file=test_graph.eps, onefile=TRUE)
 plot(1:10)
 plot(1:20)

 dev.off()
---

but when I try :

 postscript(file=test_graph.eps, onefile=TRUE)
 plot(1:10)
 dev.off
[execution of another part of the code and then:]
 plot(1:20)
 dev.print(postscript, onefile=TRUE)
 dev.off()

I only have one page in my file test_graph.eps which only contains the
last graphics.

So I wonder : is it possible to reopen a ps or pdf file and to add data (I
tried the append=TRUE option but without success) ?

Thanks a lot

Florence.

 On the attached figure, I had to use ylim (0,3) to have enough space

 Can I only get y-axis tick marks at 0 and 1 but still have the 
 additional plotting space for the labels?
 
 Thanks
 Andreas

Your attachment did not come through and without either reproducible
code or the image, it would be difficult to provide specific
recommendations.

However, things to consider:

1. Reduce the size of the fonts for your axis labels to make more room.
See ?par and note the cex.axis parameter.

2. Consider using meaningful abbreviations for your labels to shorten
them.

3. Consider rotating the labels using par(las). You will likely need
to adjust the plot margins using par(mar) as well to make room for the
rotated labels.

4. See R FAQ 7.27 How can I create rotated axis labels? which is a
method to enable axis labels rotated to something between horizontal and
vertical (ie. 45 degrees).

HTH,

Marc Schwartz

As per ?postscript the 'append' argument is _disregarded_. Please review
the help page more carefully.

If you want more than one plot per PS file, do not use dev.off() between
plots:

  postscript(file=test_graph.eps, onefile = TRUE)
  plot(1:5)
  barplot(1:5)
  dev.off()

Definitely time to upgrade, as you are several versions behind. The

One more clarification which I forgot to mention here.

If you want an EPS file (encapsulated postscript) for inclusion in
another document (ie. LaTeX or importing into another application), you
cannot have more than one page in the PS file and must use a postscript
call the looks something like this:

  postscript(file=test_graph.eps, onefile = FALSE, horizontal = FALSE,
 paper = special, ...)

See the Details section of ?postscript for more information. The three
key arguments are 'onefile', 'horizontal' and 'paper'.

[R] splitting a character field in R

2005-10-28 Thread ManuelPerera-Chang




Dear R users,

I have a dataframe with one character field, and I would like to create two
new fields (columns) in my dataset, by spliting the existing character
field into two using an existing substring.

... something that in SAS I could solve e.g. combining substr(which I am
aware exist in R) and index for determining the position of the pattern
within the string.
e.g. if my dataframe is ...
A B
1 dgabcrt
2 fgrtabc
3 sabcuuu

Then by splitting by substring abc I would get ...

A B   B1B2
1 dgabcrt dgrt
2 fgrtabc fgrt
3 sabcuuu s uuu

Do you know how to do this basic string(dataframe) manipulation in R

Saludos,

Manuel

[R] Missing Data?

2005-10-28 Thread Elva Robinson
I am using glmmPQL on a dataset which has no missing values:

antgl-glmmPQL(SF~Proc*Min, random= ~1|Trial, family=binomial)

I get the error message:

iteration 1
Error in na.fail.default(list(invwt = c(1.36892171002990, 1.36680104392581,  
:
missing values in object

I also get this error if na.action is set na.fail. If I set na.action to 
na.omit to ignore the (mythical) missing values, I get other error messages.

There are no missing values - I have used is.na(antgl) to check this. Can 
anyone explain why it seems to think there are?

Thanks

Re: [R] Problems with source() function

2005-10-28 Thread Seth Falcon
On 28 Oct 2005, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:

 Thank you for your answer :)

 I've tested your suggestion but without success. The remote load
 process is truncated silently using

   source(textConnection(readLines(url(http://...)))

 when look at the contents there's not a fixed point of break, is
 different each time I execute the command. Therefore the dropped
 lines are different every time. It seems the only constant is the
 time of the interruption (1 min 55 secs in my system).

I'm not sure exactly what you are trying to accomplish, but I wonder
if either of the following two ideas would help you:

1. Instead of source(), consider loading the R code on the server side
   and then using save(..., compres=TRUE) to create a binary image.
   You can then feed that to the clients and have them use load().  

2. What happens if you gzip the code before sending and gunzip on the
   client side.  It may be less convenient, although supposedly there
   is a way to do the equivalent of gzfile(url(...)).

Re: [R] splitting a character field in R

see sub() and gsub(), but it won't be straightforward as somethink like

Re: [R] splitting a character field in R

2005-10-28 Thread ManuelPerera-Chang




Hi Jim,

Thanks for your post, I was aware of strsplit, but really could not find
out how i could use it.

I tried like in your example ...

A-c(1,2,3)
B-c(dgabcrt,fgrtabc,sabcuuu)
C-strsplit(B,abc)
 C
[[1]]
[1] dg rt

[[2]]
[1] fgrt

[[3]]
[1] s   uuu

Which looks promissing, but here C is a list with three elements. But how
to create the two vectors I need from here, that is

(dg,fgrt, s) and (rt,,uuu)

(or how to get access to the substrings rt or uuu).

[R] Uncensoring a dataset - resent

2005-10-28 Thread Richard Reiss


Does anyone know of an R package that I can use to uncensor a normal or
log-normal dataset?  I'm particularly interested in the MLE method of
Cohen (1959), Simplified estimators for the normal distribution when
samples are single censored or truncated, Technometrics, 1(3), 217-237.
Of course, if there is anything better, I'd be glad to hear about that
too.

You could use:

or if you want to prevent conversion to factors:

data.frame(First = I(sub(abc.*, , B)), Second = I(sub(.*abc, , B)))

[R] numeric index of a matrix column name ?

2005-10-28 Thread vincent
Dear All,

I have written the following small code in order to return
the numeric index of a given matrix column ascii name.
It works, but there is perhaps/probably a predefined function
which does that ?
If yes, thanks for pointing me to it.

# input  : a matrix M and a column ascii name
# output : the numeric index of the column
colnameindex = function(M , colname0)
{
colsnames = names(M[1,]);
theindex  = which(colsnames==colname0);
return(theindex);
}

Thanks
Vincent

survreg() in the survival package will fit censored normal and censored

estimate the mean and variance.

probably you need

match(colname0, colnames(M))


I hope it helps.

[R] replacing a factor value in a data frame

2005-10-28 Thread Federico Calboli
Hi All,

I have the following problem, that's driving me mad.

I have a dataframe of factors, from a genetic scan of SNPs. I DO have
NAs in the dataframe, which would look like:

   V4 V5 V6 V7   V8   V9 V10
1  TT GG TT AC   AG   AG  TT
2  AT CC TT AA   AA   AA  TT
3  AT CC TT AC   AA NA  TT
4  TT CC TT AA   AA   AA  TT
5  AT CG TT CC   AA   AA  TT
6  TT CC TT AA   AA   AA  TT
7  AT CC TT CC NA NA  TT
8  TT CC TT AC   AG   AG  TT
9  AT CC TT CC   AG NA  TT
10 TT CC TT CC   GG   GG  TT


In the dataframe I have 1 column where one factor has been erroneosly
given alternative readings: CG and GC. 

I want to change the instances of GC to CG and I use the code:

data[data[,30]==GC, 30] = CG

but get the error:
Error in [-.data.frame(`*tmp*`, all[, 30] == GC, 30
missing values are not allowed in subscripted as

Any hints?

Cheers,

Federico

Re: [R] Uncensoring a dataset - resent

Although it doesn't implement the MLE, if you are looking at 
environmental data, I'd suggest looking at the R package NADA 
(available from CRAN). You could also contact Ed Frome at 
[EMAIL PROTECTED] (http://www.csm.ornl.gov/~frome/index.html), and ask 
about his R functions for this -- not packaged, though.

Re: [R] Problems with source() function

2005-10-28 Thread Al
I'm trying to feed data generated on-the-fly by a PHP script using R
function source(), passing the arguments in the URL, using GET method
(http://someserver.com/script.php?a=343b=873;). If not on-the-fly, the
user has to wait more and get the data in more than one step.

I'm trying a one-step simple method but for some reason the source()
function truncates silently the data. I will try your suggestion of a
binary file if I can generate the gzip stream on-the-fly...

Thank you!

 I'm not sure exactly what you are trying to accomplish, but I wonder
 if either of the following two ideas would help you:
 
 1. Instead of source(), consider loading the R code on the server side
and then using save(..., compres=TRUE) to create a binary image.
You can then feed that to the clients and have them use load().  
 
 2. What happens if you gzip the code before sending and gunzip on the
client side.  It may be less convenient, although supposedly there
is a way to do the equivalent of gzfile(url(...)).

Re: [R] replacing a factor value in a data frame

2005-10-28 Thread Dave Roberts
Federico,

 There doesn't appear to be an instance of the value you want to 
change in your example, so I had to improvise.  Part of the problem may 
be that the dataframe is composed of factors, and it's not possible to 
convert the value of a factor to another value that's in the set of 
possible values, given by the levels() function.  So, if you want to 
change GC to CG, but CG does not already exist in the set of possible 
values you'll have to add it. E.g.

  tmp - data
  levels(tmp[,30]) - c(levels(data[,30]),'CG')

then, if the problem only occurs in one column it's an easy fix.

  tmp[data=='GC'] - 'CG'

If GC occurs in multiple columns you'll either have to change the levels 
for each column as I did just above, or work with a single column. 
Since you don't have 30 columns in your example, let's pretend you want 
to change all the instances of 'CC' in data$V5 to 'XX'

  tmp - data
  levels(tmp$V5) - c(levels(data$V5),'XX')
  tmp$V5[data$V5=='CC'] - 'XX'
  tmp
V4 V5 V6 V7   V8   V9 V10
1  TT GG TT AC   AG   AG  TT
2  AT XX TT AA   AA   AA  TT
3  AT XX TT AC   AA NA  TT
4  TT XX TT AA   AA   AA  TT
5  AT CG TT CC   AA   AA  TT
6  TT XX TT AA   AA   AA  TT
7  AT XX TT CC NA NA  TT
8  TT XX TT AC   AG   AG  TT
9  AT XX TT CC   AG NA  TT
10 TT XX TT CC   GG   GG  TT

Notice that the instances of 'CC' in tmp$V7 did not change.

[R] Calling R functions from C

2005-10-28 Thread Florent Baty
Dear R users,

I read on the Introduction to the .C Interface to R by Peng  Leeuw 
(http://www.biostat.jhsph.edu/~rpeng/docs/interface.pdf) that it is 
possible to use a few R functions (such as dnorm) within C by 
including the Rmath.h header file in your C code:
e.g.

#include R.h
#include Rmath.h
void kernel_smooth(double *x, int *n, double *xpts, int *nxpts,
double *h, double *result)
{
int i, j;
double d, ksum;
for(i=0; i  *nxpts; i++) {
ksum = 0;
for(j=0; j  *n; j++) {
d = xpts[i] - x[j];
ksum += dnorm(d / *h, 0, 1, 0);
}
result[i] = ksum / ((*n) * (*h));
}
}


In the manual Writing R extensions there is also a list of special 
functions which can be called in C.

I was wondering whether there is a way to call any other R functions 
similarly. Is there any documented exemple available somewhere?

Thanks a lot for your help,

Florent

 the function bxp(). Is there a relatively simple way to do this? Thanks for 
 any help.

Here is one approach. It is based upon using 2 principal concepts:

1. Create the first plot, save the plot region ranges from par(usr)
and then use this information for the two subsequent plots, where we use
the 'add = TRUE' argument.

2. Use the 'at' argument to specify the placement of the boxes in the
second and third plots to line up with the first.


So:

# Create our data.
dat - rnorm(80)
years - rep(1991:1998, each = 10)

# MyDF will be a data frame with two columns and we will use 
# this in the formula method for boxplot.
# The second and third plots will use subset()s of MyDF
MyDF - cbind(dat, years)

# Set the plot matrix
par(mfrow = c(3, 1))

# Create the first boxplot and save par(usr)
boxplot(dat ~ years, MyDF)
usr - par(usr)

# Now open a new plot, setting it's par(usr) to 
# match the first plot.
# Then use boxplot and set the boxes 'at' x pos 2:8
# and add it to the open plot
plot.new()
par(usr = usr)
boxplot(dat ~ years, subset(MyDF, years %in% 1992:1998),
at = 2:8, add = TRUE)


# Rinse and repeat  ;-)
# Different subset and use 3:8 for 'at'
plot.new()
par(usr = usr)
boxplot(dat ~ years, subset(MyDF, years %in% 1993:1998),
at = 3:8, add = TRUE)



Replace MyDF in the above with your actual datasets of course.

This would of course be a bit easier if one could set an 'xlim' argument
in boxplot(), but this is ignored by bxp().

Re: [R] clustering

2005-10-28 Thread bogdan romocea
Assuming you don't end up with too many clusters, you could take the
classification and use it as the target for a tree, random forest,
discriminant analysis or multinomial logistic regression. The random
forest may be the best option.

 Hi everybody,
 I'm performing a cluster analysis (pkg cluster) on a
 dataset which includes 15 variables: is there a way to
 know how much each variable weighs on the final
 clustering output?
 Thanks

 Alessandro

Re: [R] question about sm.density

2005-10-28 Thread Francisco J. Zagmutt
Please read the documentation before posting a question.  If you read the 
documentation for sm.density you will see that the argument props will do 
what you want. i.e.

y - cbind(rnorm(50), rnorm(50))
sm.density(y, display = slice, props=95)

Regards

Francisco

How can I draw a 95% contour in sm.density?

For example,

y - cbind(rnorm(50), rnorm(50))
  sm.density(y, display = slice)

will give 25%, 50% and 75% contours automatically, but
no reference on other values.

Re: [R] 3d bar plot

Hi,

does anyone has a bar plot function that produces something
like this (I hope attachments work) ?

If not, I simply want to produce 3d bar plots.

Thanks in advance,

Hi,

I didn't get the attachment. Maybe you didn't follow the posting guide 
which tells what attachments are ok.

scatterplot3d can generate somthing close to a 3D barplot.

Re: [R] how to get colnames of a dataframe within a function called by 'apply'

2005-10-28 Thread Gabor Grothendieck
Iterate over the column names rather than the columns themselves:

par.or - par(mfrow=c(3,3))
nv - function(name, data) {
qqnorm(data[,name], main=name)
qqline(data[,name], col=red)
invisible()
}
sapply(colnames(temp), nv, data = temp)
par(par.or)

 Hello alltogether,

 how is it possible to assign the colnames of a data.frame to a function
 called by apply, e.g. for labeling a plot?
 Example: I want to plot several qqnorm-plots side by side and there
 should be a maintitle for each qqnorm-plot which is identical to the
 respective colname.
 I checked, but the column which is processed by the function called by
 apply does not contain a colname (because by using str() it seems it is
 no column at this point, but just a e.g. numerical vector).
 I also tried with colnames() from within the function, but was not
 successful to get the apropriate colname - either the whole string or
 just the first one.Thus it lacks of a counter that contains the number
 of the row which is processed.

 Here is an example code:

 ---snip---

 nv - function(xno.na)
 {
  par.or - par(mfrow=c(3,3))
  qqnorm(xno.na, main=HERE SHOULD BE THE NAME OF THE COLUMN)
  qqline(xno.na, col=red)
  par(par.or)
  print(str(xno.na))
 }

   temp # just a part of the whole data.frame
klarb1klarb2 abarb laut skla1 skla2
 a  NA 13.068182   7.54   0.5   0.5
 b  NA  6.818182   9.06NA   0.5
 c  15.11628  6.818182  10.04   1.0   1.5
 d  NA 18.181818  19.02   1.0   0.5

   apply(temp,2,nv)

 /---snip---


 Thanks a lot!

 best wishes,
