Re: [R] is there a formatted output in R?

2006-03-12 Thread Robert Duval
Dear Andy and Michael,

Please stick to the posting guide of this list... i.e.

Be tolerant. Rudeness is never warranted, but sometimes `read the
manual' is the appropriate response. Don't waste time discussing such
matters on the list.

  Thank you for your reminder!
 
  I think you don't have to tell me to read the document.

 I beg to differ.  I'd bet many here do feel you need to read the
 documentations more carefully.

  I have done that many times already.
 
  My feeling after reading the creating package manual is
  that my god, this job needs a Computer Science degree to do
  it. It is way too complicated.

 If an amateur like me can do it, I'm quite sure a CS degree is not needed.
 How many packages available on CRAN do you think were created by those with
 CS degrees?  How many in R Core do you think have CS degrees?

  There should be simpler ways.

 There are, and this question has been asked and answered many times over on
 this very list.  Please do learn to search the archive, as the posting guide
 asks you to.

[R] tapply with unequal length of arguments

2006-03-12 Thread Stefanie von Felten, IPWIfU
Hi everyone,

Is it possible to use tapply(x,y,mean) if not all groups of x by y are 
of the same length (for example if you have one missing observation)?

I tried tapply(x,y,mean,na.omit=T) but it doesn't work!

[R] how to load files from a directory?

2006-03-12 Thread Arnau Mir
Hello.

I have a lot of files that contain tables of data in a directory.
I want to do the following in R but I don't know how:

for i in 1 to the number of files
{
   table[i]=read.table(file=file i)
}

The dimension of each table is different. All of these are tables of two
dimensions.

My first problem is to put all the file names in a table.
Next, how I can load them using the command:
read.table(file=file i) ?


Thank in advance for your help,

Arnau.

[R] meta / lme

2006-03-12 Thread Stephen
Hi

 

I'm conducing a meta-analysis using the meta package.

 

Here's a bit of code that works fine -

tmp - metacont(samplesize.2, pctdropout.2, sddropout.2, 

samplesize.1, pctdropout.1, sddropout.1, 

 data=Dataset, sm=WMD)

 

I would now like to control for a couple of variables (continuous and
categorical) that aren't in the equation.

 

Is meta inappropriate for these purposes? If so, based on the above
code, how would I add variables to the equation?

 

Perhaps I should use lme weighting on sample size? 

 

Thoughts appreciated

 

Thanks S.

table.list - list()
i - 0
for(table.name in table.names) {
i - i+1
table.list[[i]] - read.table(table.name)

Note the double sqare brackets. Use them also when accessing elements
to have them returned as data.frames (single brackets would return a
list of length 1 with the data frame being the only element)

See ?tapply which tells you that the argument ... is passed to FUN 
which is mean() in this case. mean() has an argument na.rm, see ?mean.
So we get:

  tapply(x, y, mean, na.rm = TRUE)

[R] help! installing R on Mac OS X 10.3.9

Question 1: install R..dmg

How can I install R in ~/Applications and Rframework in ~/Library, instead of /
Library?

My preferred behavior is that if I choose /Applications for the app, framework 
goes into /Library; if I choose ~/Applications, libraries go into ~/Library 
(and 
don't ask me root password in this case).

Question 2: build from source

I built with this

export CC=gcc
export F77=g95
export CPPFLAGS=-Df2cFortran
./configure --with-blas=-framework vecLib --with-lapack
make

make goes quite a long way until

[R] Numerical Derivatives in R

2006-03-12 Thread Tolga Uzuner
Hi,

Suppose I have an arbitrary function:

arbfun-function(x) {...}

Is there a robust implementation of a numerical derivative routine in R 
which I can use to take it's derivative ? Something a bit more than 
simple division by delta of the difference of evaluating the function at 
x and x+delta...

Perhaps there is a way to do this using D or deriv but I could not 
figure it out. Trying:

eval(deriv(function(x) arbfun(x),x),1)

does not seem to work.

Thanks,
Tolga

Ah, I see. This is not that easy, I'd try something like:

par(lend=1)
bp - boxplot(g~f,ylab=,xlab=,main=)
pu - par(usr)
temp - 0.05*diff(range(s.f))
par(usr = c(pu[1:2], min(s.f)-temp, max(s.f)+temp))
lines(s.f,type=b,pch=19)

Re: [R] is there a formatted output in R? [User functions]

2006-03-12 Thread Michael Prager
There is a slightly easier way to make your own functions available.

1. Set up a directory for your R configuration.  I use d:\r\mhp.  Copy 
.Rprofile, Rconsole, Rdevga there.

2. Set up a Windows environment variable R_USER pointing to that 
directory.  For example: R_USER=d:\r\mhp

The point of the preceding is to set R to load the same .Rprofile each 
time it starts.

3. Set up a separate directory for your own functions.  I use 
d:\r\mhp\mhpmisc.

4. Put your own functions in the directory from step 3.  Open R there.  
Source the functions.  Save the workspace as .Rdata.

5. In your .Rprofile file, add a line like this:

attach(d:/R/MHP/MHPmisc/.RData)

Now your functions will be available from every instance of R you start 
up.  If you have many functions, I have written an R script that 
searches the current directory for all of them, clears the workspace, 
sources them all, and saves the workspace.  Reply to me by email if you 
want a copy.

I have been told by Gurus that my method is too complicated, but I find 
it a lot simpler than creating a package.

Michael wrote on 3/11/2006 1:33 PM:
 Thank you for your reminder!

 I think you don't have to tell me to read the document.

 I have done that many times already.

 My feeling after reading the creating package manual is that my god, this
 job needs a Computer Science degree to do it. It is way too complicated.

 There should be simpler ways.

 Perhaps I don't need a package.

 I just need to be able to call my clearscreen function from all of my
 other scripts...

 Where do I put my clearscreen function?

 Is there a command similar to include in C++?

 Is there a path management that I can call clearscreen function from
 anywhere as long as its in path?

 Michael,

 Read the two manuals that cover writing functions and preparing

 An Introduction to R and Writing R Extensions,

 After reading and digesting, if you still have questions then post them
 to the list. People here provide their time for free and it is not much
 to expect posters to try to help themselves out first - especially as
 the developers have gone to such great lengths to produce quality
 documentation that explains all of this.

[R] finding warning point in function

2006-03-12 Thread Federico Calboli
Hi everyone,

I would like to find out when and where exactly I get the following
warning in a piece of code I've written:

Error in [-(`*tmp*`, iseq, value = numeric(0)) :
nothing to replace with

The code is a for () loop performing a somewhat trivial calculation,
modulated by a number of logical if(){} else(){} conditions, involving
the creation of a number of vectors that contain the elements that will
be manipulated.

The warning itself makes me suspicious that somewhere along the way a
vector ends up having length 0 for some of the elements of my dataset...
is there a way of finding out where the warning is generated that is
less verbose than printing out every single step?

Cheers,

Federico

If your function is called f then

options(warn = 2)
debug(f)

will cause the warning to be converted to an error and when
the error stops the code just issue:

[R] Ordination of feature film data question

2006-03-12 Thread David Woods
I am severely rusty re. multivariate / ordination analysis, having done my last 
work 40 years ago (in plant ecology).
I am interested in exploring applications of multivariate analytic approaches 
to data from the history of motion picture films.
I'd very much appreciate any pointers as to possibly appropriate proceedures.
The individual samples may be individual films and the measurements may be 
the presence and absence of actors and production personel; for example two 
films with many actors and / or crew in common would be located close together 
in the resultant ordination, while films with few or no personel in common 
would be located far apart.
May I express my appreciation in advance to any helpful recipients.

[R] [R-pkgs] New package for calibration of biplot axes.

2006-03-12 Thread Jan Graffelman
Hi,

I recently uploaded a package called calibrate to CRAN. This
package contains routines for the calibration of (oblique) axes
in biplots and scatter plots. Documentation provides examples
for ordinary scatter plots with additional axes, biplots from
principal component analysis, correspondence analysis,
canonical correlation analysis and redundancy analysis.

[R] [R-pkgs] Spectrino 1.5 update

2006-03-12 Thread Teodor Krastev
Dear R users,

a new release (v1.5) of Spectrino package is on CRAN.

For those of you not familiar with Spectrino:
Spectrino is a spectra preparation utility for R. It has specialized 
organization and visualization features for spectra. Spectrino has visual 
interface - as Windows application with rich set of features to set a 
structure and manipulate visually spectra and it is accessible from R as a 
library with a set of commands for saving and selective extraction of 
spectral data.

more info at http://www.spectrino.com

For all Spectrino users:
The new in version 1.5:
  - minor bugs fixed.
  - some visual interface improvements.
  - now, the pre-processing options are adjustable from within R - function 
spnPPOpt(opts)
  - the mean extraction is based on a specific group (not on the entire 
set) - more appropriate for discriminant analysis.

Enjoy the new Spectrino !

Re: [R] Want to fit random intercept in logistic regression (testing lmer and glmmML)

2006-03-12 Thread Spencer Graves
  The problem you report is related to the fact that a variance 
component can NOT be estimated from individual binary observations.  The 
data do not contain enough information.  I don't know the minimum 
requirements, but you could get estimates if you had some 0's and some 
1's for multiple levels of x for at least two levels for idnumber. 
Otherwise, the likelihood surface has no finite minimum:  If you have 
all 0's or all 1's, the intercept wants to go to +/-Inf.  If you have 
complete separation between the 0's and the 1's, the slope wants to go 
to +/-Inf.  If you don't have complete separation and you have a random 
component with one binary outcome per group, you could use offset to 
fix the the slope at some large number and estimate the variance 
component of the group effect (I think;  I haven't tried it).

  Currently, neither lme nor lmer contain good checks for 
overparameterization.  I've gotten estimates for variance components 
that were not estimable.  After I did it and tried to interpret the 
results, I realized the algoritm was too polite to tell me my model was 
stupid; it just tried to estimate it anyway -- often taking much longer 
to compute than if the model were actually estimable.  (lme and lmer 
could, of course, be modified to include better checks for models that 
can't be estimated.  However, I think Doug Bates' current development 
efforts are more important than these checks, and I don't have the time 
to develop code that checks for these issues.)

  Hope this helps,
  spencer graves

 Greetings.  Here is sample code, with some comments. It shows how I
 can simulate data and estimate glm with binomial family when there is
 no individual level random error, but when I add random error into the
 linear predictor, I have a difficult time getting reasonable estimates

 There are no clusters here, just individual level responses, so
 perhaps I am misunderstanding the translation from my simple mixed
 model to the syntax of glmmML and lmer.  I get roughly the same
 (inaccurate) fixed effect parameter estimates from glmmML and lmer,

 different.

Re: [R] Pakcage for fitting data into an arbitrary nonlinear func tion

2006-03-12 Thread Liaw, Andy
Your question is too vague.  Do you want to fit functions of one variable,
or several variables?  Do you need the function to have explicit form, or
would you be happy with sort of `black box'?

R itself has facilities to fit smooth functions of one variable (e.g.,
smooth.spline(), loess(), etc.)  Many packages can fit smooth functions of
several variables (e.g., mgcv, locfit, mda, gss, nnet [part of the VR
bundle], rpart, tree, or even gbm and randomForest).

 Dear R lister
 
 Could any one tell me what R package I can use to fit data 
 into an arbitrary nonlinear function and to test how good a 
 resulting fit is?
 
 Thanks in advance.

 From: Ferran Carrascosa
 
 Hi r-users,
 
 I would like to know if R have any solution to the Address 
 standardization. The problem is to classify a database of 
 addresses with the real addresses of a streets of Spain. 
 Ideally, I would like to assign Postal code, census data and 
 other geographic information.

I have no idea about this one...
 
 If this is not possible I would like to know solutions in R 
 about text mining, text classification, distance within text data,...

RSiteSearch(text mining) produced hits that look relevant.

Andy
 
 Any help will be appreciate
 
 Thanks in advance

 Hi List,
 
 I can't seem to find a package that implements boosting for

 Does such a package exist?

In an R session, try 

RSiteSearch( boosting, restrict=functions )

This gives 15 hits.

Would the package 'caTools' satisfy your needs?

 Hi all,
 I have a question regarding how to properly analyze a data set and then how 
 to perform the analysis in R.
 
 First,
 I have data that I would like to analyze using a mixed GLM (I think this is 
 the most appropriate method, but I am unsure).  In a mixed model (y = 
 X*beta+Z*gamma+epsilon), I would like to structure the variance matrices of 
 gamma, G, and the error, R, to take advantage of all my information. The 
 structure of the data is like this:
 
 Response Variable: 
  y = continuous response variable 
  
 
 
 Predictor Variables: 
  x1 =  nominal treatment 
  x2 =  nominal group 
  
 
 
 Random Variables: 
  z = nominal subgroup of x2, i.e. z is nested within x2 
  
 
 
 Other variables(?; I'm not sure what exactly these are) 
  z1 = first continuous property of z 
  z2 = second continuous property of z 
  z3 =  third continuous property of z 
  
 
 Presumably all the traits z1-z3 could potentially affect y, though I'm 
 primarily interested in the model y=x1+x2+x1*x2. My wish is to put z in as a 
 random variable and z1-z3 in the error matrix R.
 
 A small data sample  would be like
 
 x1x2 z  z1  z2 z3 y
 L1   A1   S1   1.23   4.59   -1.02   100.45
 L2   A1   S1   1.23   4.59   -1.02   113.09
 L1   A1   S2   1.50   3.76-0.06  119.21
 L2   A1   S2   1.50   3.76-0.06  150.44
 L1   A2   S3   1.09   4.01-1.50  109.18
 L2   A2   S3   1.09   4.01-1.50  170.23
  L1   A2   S4   1.01   3.70-0.78  109.26
  L2   A2   S4   1.01   3.70-0.78  99.44
 
 
 What is correct way to put together my model/matrices for this situation?  
 How do accomplish such a task in R?
 
 Thanks,
 Ben

Re: [R] Sharing of Libraries (S+ and R)

2006-03-12 Thread Liaw, Andy

Andy

From: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
 
 Hi,
 
 Can anyone please advise if there is a neat way to 'share' 
 libraries of (previously developed) S+ code with R?  
 
 Specifically, within S+ I can use the attach(what = Chapter 
 Directory, pos = 2) command, to retrieve previously 
 developed functions and variables to position 2 in the search 
 list.  [Some may be intentionally masked by what's in the 
 current working chapter].  Can I similarly directly retrieve 
 these functions and variables within R at position 2 in the 
 search list?  
 
 I have been able to achieve limited success via data.dump 
 (within S+) and subsequent data.restore functionality (within 
 R).  I have intentionally NOT restored objects beginning with 
 . (via use of initial argument objects(pos, regexpr.pattern 
 = ^[^.] within S+ data.dump command) because of issues with 
 .Random.seed due to differing random number generation 
 methodologies between S+ and R.  I would wish to maintain 
 this rationale of not including such . objects if possible. 
  Also, I am not sure how to restore objects to (a new R 
 object at) position 2 as opposed to my workspace (env 
 argument defaulting to .GlobalEnv) via data.restore?
 
 With regard to the 'attach' functionality within R I have 
 been able to retrieve previous functions developed within R 
 and saved as an R data file. So maybe my issue boils down to 
 'converting' the S+ Chapter Directory into an R data file?  
 I hope there is indeed such a simple solution.
 
 Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.
 Thanks and kind regards
 Paul

It would be nice to have a function akin to the NIST example you referred,
i.e. rotated with the histograms 'on top of each other' rather than back to
back. However, from a quick glance at Pat Burns' code in histbackback() it
does not seem obvious how to make that a simple switch.

[R] Density Estimation

2006-03-12 Thread Jacob van Wyk
Hallo
I am trying to use the package LocFit to follow the example given in an
Introductory note of C Loader concerning density estimation. It involves
the geyser dataset (107 observations on durations, inlc in the
package).
I have tried the following (using the latest version of R):

fit.of - locfit(~geyser,flim=c(1,6),alpha=c(0.15,0.9))
plot(fit.of,get.data=T,mpv=200)

This produces a plot (after several warnings).
My question is: how can I get the plot to cover the range: 1 - 6 ? for
durations. The plot covers the observed data range only.
It appears there is a problem with

flim=c(1,6)

flim is not actually correct, and consequently c(1,6) is not used
correctly. I have also tried to use xlim=c(1,6), but without success.

I need some help on this please.
Thanks
Jacob

Re: [R] RFC: default background on lattice plots

JohnF Dear Deepayan, As you say, it's currently very easy

JohnF that the windows() device use these settings as a
JohnF default (independent of the printing issue).

JohnF Regards, and thanks for the lattice package,

indeed, thanks a lot, Deepayan!

I think it would make much sense to use the *same*  canonical.theme
for all interactive default devices.
This may be important in teaching, packages, user-written
functions which often are all meant to be used interactively; I
think it would be painful if students in my class looked at
quite differently colored pictures depending on if they are
using MacOS X, Linux or Windows.

Hence, if you change the setting for windows(), I think you
should also do so for  x11() and quartz().

Re: [R] Ordination of feature film data question

2006-03-12 Thread Prof Brian Ripley
`Ordination' is ecologists' terminology for multidimensional scaling.
You will find worked examples in MASS (the book, see the R FAQ), and the 
two most commonly used functions, isoMDS and sammon, in MASS the package.

In your example, the main issue is going to be to choose an appropriate 
dissimilarity measure, and dist() (in stats) and daisy() in package 
cluster will give you a good start.

 I am severely rusty re. multivariate / ordination analysis, having done

 pointers as to possibly appropriate proceedures. The individual 
 samples may be individual films and the measurements may be the 
 presence and absence of actors and production personel; for example two 
 films with many actors and / or crew in common would be located close 
 together in the resultant ordination, while films with few or no

 May I express my appreciation in advance to any helpful recipients.
