[R] combinatorics again

2006-03-06 Thread Robin Hankin
Hi

I want to enumerate all vectors of length J, whose elements are
integers in the range 1 to S, without regard to ordering.

With J=S=3, the combinations are as follows:


[,1] [,2] [,3]
  [1,]111
  [2,]112
  [3,]113
  [4,]122
  [5,]123
  [6,]133
  [7,]222
  [8,]223
  [9,]233
[10,]333


Note that (eg) c(1,2,1) is not on the list because we already have
c(1,1,2) which would be equivalent [because the problem is to
enumerate the cases without regard to ordering] and I do not want
repeats.

The best I can do is to create all S^J possibilities and weed out the
repeats, using unique() ; code below.

Why is this no good?  Well, even for the tiny case of J=S=10, this
would require a matrix of 10^10 rows, and my little linux machine
refuses to cooperate, complaining about allocating a vector of
length 1410065408.  For these values of J and S, I happen to know
that the are 6360 distinct combinations, which is eminently handleable.


Anyone got any better ideas?






allcomb - function(J,S){

   f - function(...) {
 1:S
   }
   out - as.matrix(do.call(expand.grid, lapply(1:J, FUN = f)))
   out - t(apply(out,1,sort))
   unique(out)
}

[R] Error in X11(): Font Path?

2006-03-06 Thread Xavier Fernández i Marín
Hello,

I have recently upgraded to the new modular Xorg-7.0 in my gentoo laptop
with R-2.2.1.

Although everything seems to work fine, now in R I am unable to open the
X11 device:
-8---
Error in X11() : could not find any X11 fonts
Check that the Font Path is correct.
-8---

It happens any time that I want to plot anything or simply to open the
display.

-8---
 options('X11fonts')
$X11fonts
[1] -adobe-helvetica-%s-%s-*-*-%d-*-*-*-*-*-*-*
[2] -adobe-symbol-medium-r-*-*-%d-*-*-*-*-*-*-*
-8---

I have found in some messages to the list that it is usually related to
system configuration. But, except for the new Xorg-7.0 installation, anything
has changed. 


Any ideas to follow from now on?

Thank you,

If you mean a plot with one log-scale axis this is what you want:

[R] LocFit

2006-03-06 Thread Jacob van Wyk
I have a question regarding the package LOCFIT of C Loader.

After fitting a smooth surface (y modeled by two regressors), I can't
seem to find a nice way of making a perspective (or other 3d plot). The
contours don't look quite so good.

It is meant to be used as illustration of smoothing to my students in
regression analysis.

Could anybody perhaps assist me in producing a good graph in 3d? It
probably works in S-Plus, but I am using R.

(I have tried plot (locfit object, type=persp) on the ethanol dataset
- but this gives a poor result, with a few warnings.)

THANK YOU!.

[R] Sort problem in merge()

2006-03-06 Thread Gregor Gorjanc
Hello!

I am merging two datasets and I have encountered a problem with sort.
Can someone please point me to my error. Here is the example.

## I have dataframes, first one with factor and second one with factor
## and integer
 tmp1 - data.frame(col1 = factor(c(A, A, C, C, 0, 0)))
 tmp2 - data.frame(col1 = factor(c(C, D, E, F)), col2 = 1:4)
 tmp1
  col1
1A
2A
3C
4C
50
60
 tmp2
  col1 col2
1C1
2D2
3E3
4F4

## Now merge them
 (tmp12 - merge(tmp1, tmp2, by.x = col1, by.y = col1,
  all.x = TRUE, sort = FALSE))
  col1 col2
1C1
2C1
3A   NA
4A   NA
50   NA
60   NA

## As you can see, sort was applied, since row order is not the same as
## in tmp1. Reading help page for ?merge did not reveal much about
## sorting. However I did try to see the result of non-default -
## help page says that order should be the same as in 'y'. So above
## makes sense

## Now merge - but change x an y
 (tmp21 - merge(tmp2, tmp1, by.x = col1, by.y = col1,
  all.y = TRUE, sort = FALSE))
  col1 col2
1C1
2C1
3A   NA
4A   NA
50   NA
60   NA

## The result is the same. I am stumped here. But looking a bit at these
## object I found something peculiar

 str(tmp1)
`data.frame':   6 obs. of  1 variable:
 $ col1: Factor w/ 3 levels 0,A,C: 2 2 3 3 1 1
 str(tmp2)
`data.frame':   4 obs. of  2 variables:
 $ col1: Factor w/ 4 levels C,D,E,F: 1 2 3 4
 $ col2: int  1 2 3 4
 str(tmp12)
`data.frame':   6 obs. of  2 variables:
 $ col1: Factor w/ 3 levels 0,A,C: 3 3 2 2 1 1
 $ col2: int  1 1 NA NA NA NA
 str(tmp21)
`data.frame':   6 obs. of  2 variables:
 $ col1: Factor w/ 6 levels C,D,E,F,..: 1 1 6 6 5 5
 $ col2: int  1 1 NA NA NA NA

## Is it OK, that internal presentation of factors vary between
## different merges. Levels are also different, once only levels
## from original data.frame are used, while in second example all
## levels are propagated.

## I have tried the same with characters
 tmp1$col1 - as.character(tmp1$col1)
 tmp2$col1 - as.character(tmp2$col1)
 (tmp12c - merge(tmp1, tmp2, by.x = col1, by.y = col1,
  all.x = TRUE, sort = FALSE))
  col1 col2
1C1
2C1
3A   NA
4A   NA
50   NA
60   NA

 (tmp21c - merge(tmp2, tmp1, by.x = col1, by.y = col1,
  all.y = TRUE, sort = FALSE))
  col1 col2
1C1
2C1
3A   NA
4A   NA
50   NA
60   NA

## The same with characters. Is this a bug. It definitely does not agree
## with help page, since order is not the same as in 'y'. Can someone
## please check on newer versions?

## Is there any other way to get the same order as in 'y' i.e. tmp1?

[R] Contingency table and zeros

2006-03-06 Thread Nicolas Perot
Hello,

Let's assume I have a vector of integers :
  myvector -  c(1, 2, 3, 2, 1, 3, 5)

My purpose is to obtain the cumulative distribution of these numerical 
data, i.e. something like :

value   nb_occur.
=12
=24
=36
=46
=57

For this, I create a table with ;
  mytable - table(myvector)

1 2 3 5
2 2 2 1

However, table() returns an array of integers, mytable[4] returns the 
occurence number of the 5 item, which makes this table hard to index.
I would prefer to have a data structure where mytable[4] could return 0, 
as there is no 4 in my vector.

table() may not be the proper way to do it.

For the moment, I use a loop which scans the vector from its lowest 
value to its highest, and counts the number of times each value appears.

Is there a built-in function, or a table() option to do such a task ?

Thanks.

Regards,
Nicolas

Re: [R] Remove gray grid from levelplot

2006-03-06 Thread Martin Sandiford
Hi Jan,

The patch requires a recompile of R.  As I understand it,
this is a fairly painful experience.  I haven't done it
myself.

I find that using the pdf() function to open a pdf device
produces better quality output when printing than saving
a quartz device from the menu.

It appears that the postscript() and pdf() devices use
sub-pixel rendering as well, as output shows evidence of gray
lines on low resolution devices, however, for me, this isn't
evident on a printer at 1200x1200dpi.

My guess would be that, in general, levelplot is not a great
function to use if the box size approaches the resolution of
the underlying device.  The first example in help(levelplot)
exhibits severe moire patterns on an approx 740x740 quartz or
x11() device.  When the output from the postscript device is
printed out, it looks more or less as expected.

If there are more boxes in the levelplot than pixels on the
device you are plotting to, then in effect you are asking
the display device to do the averaging of the excess
boxes for devices that support sub-pixel rendering.

I'm still not 100% sure what it is that you are trying to do,
but I'm guessing that it boils down to levelplot not being
designed to plot analytic functions.

Martin

P.S. To me, the png() device does not appear to do sub-pixel
rendering.  The postscript() and pdf() devices do.

 Hi,

 I am using a Mac (Powerbook G4, Mac Os X 10.4) and this seems to be

 mentioned on  
 https://stat.ethz.ch/pipermail/r-sig-mac/attachments/20060214/ 
 0b3e99c2/attachment.pl
 I would also like to create *.ps files so this does not seem to be the  
 appropriate approach. I can also use x11 as trellis.device which fixes  
 the color-problem, but the lines are plotted in bad quality then.  
 Also, I can not save the graph then, when plotted with x11. All other  
 devices (png, pdf) have the same problem with the fine gray lines

 so the R version for the mac must be the problem, but I have no idea  
 how to fix that. It would not matter if the plots via the quartz  
 device (on the screen) would be bad as long as the postscript file  
 comes out perfect.

 Thanks again and any more comments/hints are appreciated

 Hi,

 If I use the levelplot function of the lattice library, I always see
 small squares in the plot. They indicate the region for which the
 same color is used. If you have a levelplot of a function which is
 evaluated at 25x25 equally-spaced points you obtain 26 squares in x
 and 26 squares in y direction. That does not bother too much (but
 still bothers somehow...), but if you want to plot a function which
 is evaluated at 1000x1000 equally-spaced points, then the thickness
 of this gray grid cause the grid lines to hit each other so there is
 no space for the color in the square anymore (since the squares are
 actually not visible anymore)... this might change the color of the
 whole levelplot!. (I tried it with the plot of f(x,y)=max(x+y-1,0)
 for x,y in the unit interval, i.e. the Lower Frechet copula). So my
 question is, if it is possible to remove this gray grid form the
 levelplot graph?

 Thanks in advance

I hope it helps.

What could you possibly mean by that?

The postscript() and pdf() produce vector graphics and have no concept of 
a pixel.  There are filled polygons as part of the language they output. 
(Of course the coordinates are output to finite resolution, in fact 0.01dp 
= 1/7200, so you could think of that as the positioning quantum.)

The png device writes on a bitmap.  It outputs a rectangular grid of 
either pre-defined colour indices or RGB values.  There is nothing in the 
PNG standard to allow anything finer.

[R] Averaging over columns

2006-03-06 Thread michael watson \(IAH-C\)
Hi

I've been reading the help for by and aggregate but can't get my head
round how to do this.  

I have a data frame - the first three columns are replicate
measurements, then the next 3 are replicates etc up to 36 (so 12
variables with 3 replicate measurements each).  I want to compute the
mean for each of the 12 variables, so that, for each row, I have 12
means.

A grouping variable across columns can easily be created by
rep(1:12,each=3), but I can't figure out which function to use to get R
to calculate the means I want.

Thanks in advance

I'd think the easiest thing is to reshape the dataset so you have the 
variables entirely in their own columns, then just apply mean to the 
columns.  (Add a new column for replicate number so you don't lose that 
information.)

If you want to avoid that, then code like this will do your calculation, 
but it looks ugly:

means - numeric(12)
for (i in 0:11) {
   means[i] - mean(mydata[,3*i + 1:3])
}

You could also put something together using tapply and your grouping 
variable, but I think the two solutions above will be easiest to read.

 It is meant to be used as illustration of smoothing to my

Could you elaborate on what `poor result' means?  It doesn't look half bad

Re: [R] JGR doesn't launch after updating to R 2.2.1

Where did you get a verion that was supposed to support 2.2.1?  On the JGR
website it lists the different binaries for the different version of R and
the latest one I saw was 2.2.0.

Re: [R] Averaging over columns

2006-03-06 Thread Jacques VESLOT
sorry, i forgot list(): 
t(as.matrix(aggregate(t(as.matrix(DF)), list(rep(1:12,each=3)), mean)[,-1]))



michael watson (IAH-C) a écrit :

Hi

I've been reading the help for by and aggregate but can't get my head
round how to do this.  

I have a data frame - the first three columns are replicate
measurements, then the next 3 are replicates etc up to 36 (so 12
variables with 3 replicate measurements each).  I want to compute the
mean for each of the 12 variables, so that, for each row, I have 12
means.

A grouping variable across columns can easily be created by
rep(1:12,each=3), but I can't figure out which function to use to get R
to calculate the means I want.

Thanks in advance

[R] break a vector into classes

2006-03-06 Thread wouter

Hi,

I'm looking for a function which divides a vector into n classes and 
returns the breaks as well as the number of values in each class.

This is actually what hist(vector, breaks=n) does, but in hist() n is a 
suggestion only, and is a suggestion only and cannot be enforced (as 
far as I know...)

It is not so difficult to do it yourself, but a ready made function would 
be nice...

 Hello, Zev:

   Regarding Doug Bates' Multilevel Modeling in R, I haven't seen any
 replies to your post, so I assume that the author is not ready to
 announce a publication date;  if you've heard anything, I'd like to know.

I'm sorry to say that publication of that book is still a long way
off.  There are so many things demanding my attention these days that
it takes me 6 days to get around to reading through the messages in
R-help.

Thanks for mentioning the vignettes, Spencer.  The mlmRev vignette in
particular shows some detailed examples.


   In the interim, have you seen the vignettes in lme4 and mlmRev?
 If you have not yet worked with vignettes, I encourage you to check
 these out, because they provide an R script file as well as an Adobe
 Acrobat (PDF) file;  each complements the other, so the two together are
 more valuable than either by itself.  (For more detail, see
 http://finzi.psych.upenn.edu/R/Rhelp02a/archive/67006.html;).

   hope this helps,

You can use dbDisconnect() together with dbListConnections() to
disconnect those connections RMySQL is managing:

all_cons - dbListConnections(MySQL())
for(con in cons)
   +  dbDisconnect(con)

   ## check all connections have been closed
dbListConnections(MySQL())
list()

You could also kill any connection you're allowed to (not just those
managed by RMySQL):

dbGetQuery(con, show processlist)
   Id  User   Host   db   Command Time
   1 2366 celnet_do gaia:47944 wireless Connect 19
   2 2367 celnet_do gaia:47946 wireless Connect 15

Which package are we talking about?

RODBC has: odbcCloseAll()
RMySQL has: dbListConnections() and dbDisconnect()

And others have other methods, just read the corresponding manuals.

Re: [R] Disconnect all MySQL connections

2006-03-06 Thread Don MacQueen
Use the function

dbListConnections()

to get a list of connections. Then use

   dbDisconnect()

to disconnect them one by one.

Using Oracle as an example:

  dbm - Oracle()
  dbDisconnect(dbListConnections(dbm)[[1]])
[1] TRUE

 The postscript() and pdf() produce vector graphics and have no concept

 output. (Of course the coordinates are output to finite resolution, in 
 fact 0.01dp = 1/7200, so you could think of that as the positioning 
 quantum.)

 The png device writes on a bitmap.  It outputs a rectangular grid of 
 either pre-defined colour indices or RGB values.  There is nothing in 
 the PNG standard to allow anything finer.

Sorry, sloppy and inaccurate description.  The Mac Preview app 
antialiases based on the translated fractional device coordinates when 
viewing PDF/PS files.

I don't believe the png device does antialiasing directly.

Re: [R] JGR doesn't launch after updating to R 2.2.1

Hi Roger,

Thanks for the reply. Indeed the JGR site says that it runs with

JGR, and inferred that I had done something wrong.

That provides the basic concept, which is easy to use with barplot()

Re: [R] Sort problem in merge()

2006-03-06 Thread Jean Eid
If believe that merge is trying to put first whatever cells that are 
nonempty. For example if you instead did

   tmp2 - data.frame(col1 = factor(c(C, D, E, F,A), levs), 
col2 = 1:5)
  tmp2
  col1 col2
1C1
2D2
3E3
4F4
5A5
  merge(tmp2, tmp1, all.y = TRUE, sort = FALSE)
  col1 col2
1A5
2A5
3C1
4C1
50   NA
60   NA
  tmp1
  col1
1A
2A
3C
4C
50
60
 


and if you do this

   tmp1 - data.frame(col1 = factor(c(0, 0, C, C, A, A), levs))
  merge(tmp2, tmp1, all.y = TRUE, sort = FALSE)
  col1 col2
1C1
2C1
3A5
4A5
50   NA
60   NA
 

So I think it is doing what you want it to do.

True.  And that function is really for complex arguments, and does not

Perhaps more helpful is to point out that erf and erfc are simple

Re: [R] memory once again

2006-03-06 Thread Thomas Lumley
On Fri, 3 Mar 2006, Dimitri Joe wrote:

 Dear all,

 A few weeks ago, I asked this list why small Stata files became huge R
 files. Thomas Lumley said it was because Stata uses single-precision
 floating point by default and can use 1-byte and 2-byte integers. R uses
 double precision floating point and four-byte integers. And it seemed I
 couldn't do anythig about it.

 Is it true? I mean, isn't there a (more or less simple) way to change
 how R stores data (maybe by changing the source code and compiling it)?

It's not impossible, but it really isn't as easy as you might think.

It would be relatively easy to change the definition of REALSXPs and 
INTSXPs so that they stored 4-byte and 2-byte data respectively.  It would 
be a lot harder to go through all the C and Fortran numerical, 
input/output, and other processing code to either translate from short to 
long data types or to make the code work for short data types.  For 
example, the math functions would want to do computations in double (as 
Stata does) but the input/output functions would presumably want to use 
float.

Adding two more SEXP types to give eg single and shortint might be 
easier (if there are enough bits left in the SEXPTYPE header), but would 
still require adding code to nearly every C function in R.

Single-precision floating point has been discussed for R in the past, and 
the extra effort and resulting larger code were always considered too high 
a price.  Since the size of data set R can handle doubles every 18 months 
or so without any effort on our part it is hard to motivate diverting 
effort away from problems that will not solve themselves.  This doesn't 
help you, of course, but it may help explain why we can't.

Another thing that might be worth pointing out: Stata also keeps all its 
data in memory and so can handle only small data sets.  One reason that 
Stata is so fast and that Stata's small data sets can be larger than R's 
is the more restrictive language. This is more important than the 
compression from smaller data types -- you can use a dataset in Stata that 
is nearly as large as available memory (or address space), which is a 
factor of 3-10 better than R manages. On the other hand, for operations 
that do not fit well with the Stata language structure, it is quite slow. 
For example, the new Stata graphics in version 8 required some fairly 
significant extensions to the language and are still notably slower than 
the lattice graphics in R (a reasonably fair comparison since both are 
interpreted code).

The terabyte-scale physics and astronomy data that other posters alluded 
to require a much more restrictive form of programming than R to get 
reasonable performance.  R does not make you worry about how your data are 
stored and which data access patterns are fast or slow, but if your data 
are larger than memory you have to worry about these things. The 
difference between one-pass and multi-pass algorithms, between O(n) and 
O(n^2) time, even between sequential-access and random-access algorithms 
all matter, and the language can't hide them. Fortunately, most 
statistical problems are small enough to solve by throwing computing power 
at them, perhaps after an initial subsampling or aggegrating phase.

The initial question was about read.dta. Now, read.dta() could almost 
certainly be improved a lot, especially for wide data sets. It uses very 
inefficient data frame operations to handle factors, for example.  It used 
to be a lot faster than read.table, but that was before Brian Ripley 
improved read.table.

[R] duration analysis

2006-03-06 Thread Dimitri Szerman
Hi,

It seems the list faced some problems during the weekend, so I am re-sending
this message.

I am trying to estimate the effects of covariates on the hazard function, rather
than on the survival. I know this is actually the same thing. For example, using
the survival package, and doing:


 myfit - survreg( Surv(time, event) ~ mymodel )


all I have to do to get the quantities of my interest is


 -myfit$coefficients/myfit$scale


The standard erros are easily worked out, as the absolute z-statistics are the 
same.

Ok, so I can get easily what I want from survreg(). But I'd like to get it even
more directly. Does anyone know some function to do it?

Thank you,
Dimitri Szerman

Re: [R] collocation methods

Hi All,

I have found the function poly(), that computes orthogonal polynomials. I 
was wondering if there are users of this function on the list. What kind of 
an orthognal polynomial is this fititng ? Is it, for example,  least square, 
galerkin, or collocation ?

It references Chambers and Hastie, and Kennedy and Gentle, but I dont have 
access to either.

Take a look at the limma package in BioConductor. You will be able to do

[R] [Q] BIC as a goodness-of-fit stat

2006-03-06 Thread Young-Jin Lee
Dear R-List

I have a question about how to interpret BIC as a goodness-of-fit statistic.
I was trying to use EMclust and other mclust library and found that BIC
was used as a goodness-of-fit statistic.
Although I know that smaller BIC indicates a better fit, it is not clear to
me how good a fit is by reading a BIC number. Is there a standard way of
interpreting a BIC value?

Thanks in advance.

[R] LME Correlation Component using spectrum()?

2006-03-06 Thread Keith Chamberlain
Dear List-mates,

Is there a corStruct constructor already written to calculate the shape of
the spectral density for linear models using Fourier estimates (e.g. terms
for a linear model derived from the frequency domain)? I have data with a
long memory process but do not want to destroy it by taking n-differences
for a suitable corAR, or corARIMA object. 

Thank you,

Re: [R] Sort problem in merge()

2006-03-06 Thread Gregor Gorjanc
Gabor and Jean thank you for your time and answers. Gabors approach does
not do what I want (with or without sort). Gabor note that when we merge
data.frame, this new data.frame gets new row.names and we can not be
consistent with sort.

 out - merge(cbind(tmp1, seq = 1:nrow(tmp1)), tmp2, all.x = TRUE)
  col1 seq col2
10   5   NA
20   6   NA
3A   1   NA
4A   2   NA
5C   31
6C   41

 out[out$seq, -2]
  col1 col2
5C1
6C1
10   NA
20   NA
3A   NA
4A   NA

 out - merge(cbind(tmp1, seq = 1:nrow(tmp1)), tmp2, all.x = TRUE,
   sort = TRUE)
  col1 seq col2
10   5   NA
20   6   NA
3A   1   NA
4A   2   NA
5C   31

 out[out$seq, -2]
  col1 col2
5C1
6C1
10   NA
20   NA
3A   NA
4A   NA

But I want to get out

A NA
A NA
C 1
C 1
0 NA
0 NA

i.e. with the same order as in tmp1. I really need the same order, since
I will cbind this data frame to another one and I need to keep the order
intact.

I am quite confident that this points to a bug in merge code or at least
in merge documentation. NA's seem to introduce problems as showed by
Jean. Can someone (R core) also confirm this?

Re: [R] [Q] BIC as a goodness-of-fit stat

2006-03-06 Thread Wensui Liu
Young-Jin,

Similar to AIC, BIC is nothing but a penalized version of loglikelihood.
There is no way to tell 'how small is small' for BIC unless you compare BIC
from one model with BIC from another model.

Re: [R] Length of a vector of POSIX objects reported incorrectly?

2006-03-06 Thread Gabor Grothendieck
POSIXlt stores its data in a 9 component structure so its
length is always 9.  See R News 4/1 help desk article for more info.
To get what you are looking for try using POSIXct, not POSIXlt:

length(as.POSIXct(times))

Re: [R] Sort problem in merge()

2006-03-06 Thread Gabor Grothendieck
One other idea; one could use match instead of merge:
 # tmp1a and tmp2a from below
 cbind(tmp1a, tmp2a[match(tmp1a$col1, tmp2a$col1), -1, drop = FALSE])
  col1 col2
1A   NA
2A   NA
3C1
4C1
50   NA
60   NA

This avoids having to muck with reordering of rows and reseting of rownames.
Like the prior solution, it assumes that the elements of tmp2a$col1
are unique.

You can use apply() on column-wise operations such as this.

It's rarely necessary to have a vector in matrix form.  In this case, it
actually make things harder.  If B had been a vector, you would have gotten:

 A=matrix(c(2:7), 2, 3)

Re: [R] is there a way to let R do smart matrix-vector operation?

2006-03-06 Thread Berton Gunter
Well, I'm not sure what's smart and what's dumb. As Mark said, a
standard prescription for this sort of thing is to use apply() type calls --
but that actually is still using a loop, though generally very efficiently. 

If you want to avoid even that sort of hidden looping then try:


matrix(as.vector(A)-as.vector(B),nr=nrow(A))

If B is a vector, not a matrix, the as.vector(B) cast isn't necessary.

[R] Optimization problem: selecting independent rows to maximizethe mean

2006-03-06 Thread Jasjeet S. Sekhon

 Does R have packages for such multi-objectives optimization problems ?

The rgenoud (R-GENetic Optimization Using Derivatives) package
allows for multiple object optimization problems. See the lexical
option which searches for the Pareto front.  The package is written
for NP-hard problems (but they are...well...difficult).

See CRAN or:

Re: [R] Remove gray grid from levelplot

 P.S. To me, the png() device does not appear to do sub-pixel

What could you possibly mean by that?

I would think the original poster refers to aliasing issues.

The png device writes on a bitmap.  It outputs a rectangular grid of 
either pre-defined colour indices or RGB values.  There is nothing in 
the PNG standard to allow anything finer.

Granted.  Yet, there are nuances.  Anti-aliasing techniques may be 
applied to bit-mapped images like PNGs, and a carefully computed alpha 
channel could be included in the PNG as a way to acknowledge sub-pixel 
rendering matters.

If the background of the generated image is opaque instead of 
transparent, the graphics and the background might be combined at PNG 
generation, swallowing what would have been an alpha channel and so, 
sparing the need of including any in the generated PNG.

However, on this Linux system, if I understood correctly, R goes through 
X11 for generating PNGs, and so, does no better than X11 itself (at 
least as currently driven by R) in the area of anti-aliasing.

Anti-aliasing libraries exist (which I never really studied or used 
myself) that could likely provide better PNG quality.  Did some decision 
has been reached among developers on this topic?  I would guess, without 
really knowing, that developers favor vector-to-raster rendering to be 
done outside R, whenever quality is required.

Using an anti-aliasing library for higher output quality within R would 
mean, besides the obvious trouble of selecting one of those libraries 
and programming the interface, adding yet another dependency at 
R build-time (likely autoconfigured, of course), and an observable 
slowdown for graphics which are more heavily loaded, especially in 
interactive mode.  For one, I do not need more than draft quality so far 
when using R interactively for plots.  Maybe some draft, quality or 
aa flag is added to control anti-aliasing behaviour? (I know that 
quality is already used to mean something else for JPEG images).

  Just a few thoughts.  Keep happy, all!

Re: [R] Remove gray grid from levelplot

2006-03-06 Thread Deepayan Sarkar
On 3/6/06, Martin Sandiford [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:
 Hi Jan,

 The patch requires a recompile of R.  As I understand it,
 this is a fairly painful experience.  I haven't done it
 myself.

 I find that using the pdf() function to open a pdf device
 produces better quality output when printing than saving
 a quartz device from the menu.

 It appears that the postscript() and pdf() devices use
 sub-pixel rendering as well, as output shows evidence of gray
 lines on low resolution devices, however, for me, this isn't
 evident on a printer at 1200x1200dpi.

 My guess would be that, in general, levelplot is not a great
 function to use if the box size approaches the resolution of
 the underlying device.  The first example in help(levelplot)
 exhibits severe moire patterns on an approx 740x740 quartz or
 x11() device.  When the output from the postscript device is
 printed out, it looks more or less as expected.

740x740 what? I don't see any obvious problems on x11 on Linux.

 If there are more boxes in the levelplot than pixels on the
 device you are plotting to, then in effect you are asking
 the display device to do the averaging of the excess
 boxes for devices that support sub-pixel rendering.

That was my first instinct too, but based on (offlist) screenshots Jan
sent me, that isn't the issue here. I haven't been able reproduce his
results (since I don't have a mac) but the artifacts there are very
similar to what I often see in postscript output. The viewer matters
here, and with gv on Linux, these artifacts are present when
anti-aliasing is turned on, but they go away when AA is turned off.
I.e., anti-aliasing is doing more harm than good. If indeed the quartz
device performs anti-aliasing by default (as your other post
suggests), that would explain the behaviour. If it is possible to turn
of AA, that should help.

In any case, there doesn't seem to be much of an (R) issue here.
Printed output should be fine (since there's no AA involved).
Anti-aliasing distorts the true image in a manner that usually helps
but messes up in this case. That's the trade-off you have to accept if
you decide to use AA.

-Deepayan

 I'm still not 100% sure what it is that you are trying to do,
 but I'm guessing that it boils down to levelplot not being
 designed to plot analytic functions.

 However, table() returns an array of integers, mytable[4] returns the

 I would prefer to have a data structure where mytable[4] could return 0,
 as there is no 4 in my vector.

Re: [R] replicated time series - lme?

2006-03-06 Thread Spencer Graves
  What are your primary research objectives?  Are you primarily 
interested in a simple model of how the system evolves over time?  Or do 
your 17 different series include variations in simulation conditions?

  If I were largely interested in understanding better how the system 
evolves over time, I might approach the analysis as follows:

  1.  Make separate normal probability plots of all series.  If they 
aren't normal, can I transform to normality (e.g., taking logarithms -- 
or using the famous Box-Cox transformation, making lambda plots as 
described in VR = Venables and Ripley (2004) Modern Applied Statistics 
with S, 4th ed. (Springer) and the companion MASS package for R).

  2.  If I could get each of the 17 normal plots to look relatively 
normal (possibly after a transformation), I'd then try to fit a separate 
ARIMA model to each of the 17 series using acf, pacf, arima, etc., as 
described in VR (see step # 1).

  NOTE:  You do NOT want to ask lme to estimate an autoregression of 
order 100.  That's nonsense.  The genius of the Box-Jenkins / ARIMA 
system is that it provides a very flexible system for modeling series 
with potentially very long lags with parsimoneous models expressed as 
rational functions (i.e., ratios of polynomials) in the back-shift 
operator.  To understand this, see any good reference on ARIMA modeling, 
e.g., the original Box and Jenkins, Time Series Analysis, Forecasting 
and Control.

  3.  After you have fit parsimoneous models to the several of the 17 
series, you should begin to see a pattern in what kinds of models should 
fit reasonably well.  Then you can return to lme to look for further 
patterns in how the parameters of the parsimoneous time series models 
are related.

  Does this help?

 But this just gives significance for a lag of 1, so I tried to find out the
 correlation at greater lags with arima to be able to use corARMA() as
 correlation structure:
 
 arima(cover[run==1],order=c(100,0,0)) 
 #does not work: “error in polyroot(z): polynomial degree too high”
 
 Any ideas to solve this? Maybe, I don’t even need a mixed effects model?

  Beyond this, from Prof. Ripley's reply (below), you might consider

[R] Statistical Learning and Datamining Course

2006-03-06 Thread Trevor Hastie
Short course: Statistical Learning and Data Mining II:
 tools for tall and wide data

Trevor Hastie and Robert Tibshirani, Stanford University

Sheraton Hotel,
Palo Alto, California,
April 3-4, 2006.

This two-day course gives a detailed overview of statistical models for
data mining, inference and prediction.  With the rapid developments
in internet technology, genomics, financial risk modeling, and other
high-tech industries, we rely increasingly more on data analysis and
statistical models to exploit the vast amounts of data at our  
fingertips.

This course is the third in a series, and follows our popular past
offerings Modern Regression and Classification, and Statistical
Learning and Data Mining.

The two earlier courses are not a prerequisite for this new course.

In this course we emphasize the tools useful for tackling modern-day
data analysis problems. We focus on both tall data ( Np where
N=#cases, p=#features) and wide data (pN). The tools include
gradient boosting, SVMs and kernel methods, random forests, lasso and
LARS, ridge regression and GAMs, supervised principal components, and
cross-validation.  We also present some interesting case studies in a
variety of application areas. All our examples are developed using the
S language, and most of the procedures we discuss are implemented in
publicly available R packages.

[R] returning the largest element in an array/matrix?

2006-03-06 Thread Michael
Hi all,

I want to use which.max to identify the maximum in a 2D array/matrix and I
want argmin and return the row and column indices.

But which.max only works for vector...

Is there any convinient way to solve this problem?

Thanks a lot!

[R] Installing Damn Small Linux and R

2006-03-06 Thread charles loboz
Installing Damn Small Linux and R

Following my experiences with Knoppix (described in
another mail) I did similar test on Damn Small Linux
(dsl -http://www.damnsmalllinux.org/ ). DSL was
interesting, because it is the smallest yet fully
functional version of Linux, hence more suited to
older and smaller computers than Knoppix. Importantly,
it uses lightweight windowing system (no KDE or GNOME)
so its memory requirements are much smaller. Also,  it
seems to have a lively user community, which saved me
a lot of work.

DSL can be used as 'live CD' but can also be installed
on a hard disk - I followed the instructions on
http://www.damnsmalllinux.org/dsl-hd-install.html ,
using the latest DSL 2.2b version . (I installed it to
an empty machine, so no dual-boot considerations were
important).  Upon startup the memory usage  reported
was 20mb (not 30 as I mentioned in my Knoppix
article).

Trying to follow the same way of installing R as with
Knoppix I discovered that many more libraries are
missing or are older in DSL than in Knoppix.

There is a list of packages already prepared for
installation on DSL at
http://distro.ibiblio.org/pub/linux/distributions/damnsmall/mydsl/
and to my joy one of them (under 'applications') was
R.tar.gz (version 2.0.1) 

Using identical procedure as described in the Knoppix
article I transferred that through an USB drive to
/opt directory, then executed
   tar -xvzf R.tar.gz
It created /opt/R directory. In bin directory I
executed R shell script and it simply worked. After
that I decided to get adventerous and, from the same
place (under 'system'), I downloaded tcltk8.3.dsl .
That is a special packaging for DSL extensions and
http://www.damnsmalllinux.org/wiki/index.php/Installing_MyDSL_Extensions
describes how to install them. Actually it is as
simple as opening the file manager EmelFM ,
higlighting the tcltk8.3 file and pressing the button
'MyDSL'. 

After that I could run Rtcltk script, which started
the R GUI. Memory usage was 40mb at that stage.

The whole process took less than one hour and at the
end of it I had fully functional R installation,
including GUI. And enough memory spare (80mb) for a
lot of calculations.

P.S. I tested also OpenOffice.uci - a mountable
version of OpenOffice 2.0 and it started and worked
without problems. The memory usage after starting
Writer was around 60mb (R was not running at that time
- just the Writer). I expected more, following dire
warnings on the DSL site.

P.P.S. Judging by these numbers there is a possiblity
that with DSL, any old computer with 64mb memory and
1gb hard drive can comfortably run R and OpenOffice.
The interface is not so cute as in Knoppix, but for a
working computer it quite comfortable and rather fast.

[R] Applying strptime() to a data set or array

2006-03-06 Thread Andrew Athan

I'm sure this is just the result of a basic misunderstanding of the 
syntax of R, but I am stumped.

A - 
read.table(file=sumByThirtyMinute.csv,sep=,,col.names=c(date,pandl))

A now consists of thousands of rows, but A$date is a string...
...
3183 2006-02-28 12:00:00548.470
3184 2006-02-28 12:30:00515.240
3185 2006-02-28 13:00:00140.120
3186 2006-02-28 13:30:00450.940
3187 2006-02-28 14:00:00318.570
...




So, I try to convert A$date to a POSIXlt ...

A[,1]-strptime(A$date,%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%s)
A$date-strptime(A$date,%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%s)


which gives me a warning that the length of the array I am trying to 
replace A$date with is 9 ... but if I print strptime(A$date,%Y-%m-%d 
%H:%M:%s), it clearly has thousands of rows.  Yet, if I ask for 
length(strptime(A$date,%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%s)), I get 9.

What am I doing wrong?  Do I need to convert the return value of 
strptime(A$date,%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%s) to some array/vector/matrix 
datatype before attempting to assign it?

Thanks,
Andrew

Re: [R] Applying strptime() to a data set or array

2006-03-06 Thread Gabor Grothendieck
POSIXct, not POSIXlt, are used in data frame columns.
See ?POSIXct where this is mentioned and try:

A$date - as.POSIXct(A$date)

Also be sure to read R News 4/1 for more about dates and times.

it's probably a factor, not a string vector...
so i would do as.vector or as.character - but it may be not necessary !
 
as.POSIXct(strptime(as.vector(A$date),...))

or:
seq( from = ISOdate(2006,02,28, 12, 0, 0, tz=),
