RE: [R] How to suppress the printing of warnings (Windows)?

2005-04-11 Thread abunn

 I'm a newbie in R. I am running simulations using a fixed 
 bandwidth in nonparametric regressions, sending all the output to 
 a file myoutput.txt using sink(myoutput.txt),  R is printing 
 all warnings by the end of the simulation on the file. I know the 
 source of the problem  can take care of it. However, finding a 
 50 MB file (where all the output is printed, e.g. myoutput.txt) 
 by the end of the simulation exercise is not quite pleasant. How 
 could I turn them off completely?, so they are not printed in 
 myoutput.txt file.


Look at ?options and scroll to 'warn.' Also, ?warnings gives an example.


HTH, Andy

RE: [R] new package - paraNormal distribution

2005-04-01 Thread abunn
What a great package. I imagined the answer before hand, so I guess it's
right...

R  rParaNorm(1)
[1] 0+42i
R 

This will really help me through a Bayesian analysis I have to do today.
Thanks!

RE: [R] Tool for update

 I think what Prof. Ripley meant is: you have to run R on a
 Tuesday in order to
 update your packages. You could lift this requirement --- and
 still update on
 Tuesdays --- by using a cron job instead. (That's assuming you're using a
 Unix variant, I suppose there is some equivalent way to achieve the same
 thing on Windows.)

I'm very sorry for causing such a stir - asking What's wrong with Tuesday?
was a poor attempt at humor. I was subconsciously trying to make it into the
fortunes package but my wit pales in comparison to the greats.

Mea culpa,

Andy

RE: [R] Tool for update

I edited Rprofile to update everything on Tuesdays. I've been doing this
since 2.0 and I think I've had R running almost every Tuesday, which begs
the question of what I would be doing if R hadn't come into existence.

In any case, It works pretty well:

## This script gets all the packages I don't already have
# Run this once a week - say Tuesdays
if (interactive() ) { library(utils)}
is.tuesday - as.POSIXlt(Sys.time())$wday == 2
if (is.tuesday == T)
{
cat(Running a package check...\nOccurs once a week, on Tuesdays\n)
cat(Upgrade existing packages and check for new packages (y/N)? )
check.new - as.character(readLines(n = 1))
if (any(check.new == y, check.new == Y))
{
options(CRAN = http://cran.us.r-project.org/;)
cat(This can take a few seconds...\n)
x - packageStatus(repositories = getOption(repositories)()[[1]])
print(x)
install.packages(x$avail$Package[x$avail$Status == not installed])
cat(Upgrading to new versions if available\n)
upgrade(x)
   }
}

  Maybe something like this:
 
  $unixprompt R --vanilla update.packages()
 

 If you put
 update.packages(repos=http://cran.us.r-project.org;, ask=FALSE)

 in a file update.R you can do
R CMD BATCH update.R update.log
 or even fancier, something like
R CMD BATCH update.R update-`date --iso-8601`.log

 to keep dated log files.

RE: [R] Tool for update

 For what I understand you run this every time you use R on a Tuesday,
 which is not what I would want.

What's wrong with Tuesday? Indeed, it's not the ideal solution but has kept
me up-to-date. What has amazed me is that I think I've used R every Tuesday
(and other workdays) since I did that. So, it ends up working pretty well. I
will look forward to a cleaner implementation with 2.1

Much thanks, Andy

[R] Vogelsang test? RATS? Time series analysis.

2005-03-10 Thread abunn
Has anybody implemented the Vogelsang test from Vogelsang's 1998
Econometrica paper? Or the tests by Fomby and Vogelsang from their 2002
paper?

I have been looking for trends in many time series (1000's) with unknown
autocorrelation. In brief, I have fit AR models  and classified them as
stochastic or deterministic with augmented Dickey-Fuller tests. A colleague
has suggested that we use a new and more elegant test that is robust to
the nature of serial correlation in the residuals and pointed me the RATS
program in general and Fomby and Vogelsang test in particular.

Any leads appreciated, Andy

This is what you are trying to get at I think:

dev.off()   ## start with a new graphics device
# X11() or postscript()
#par(mar = c(3,3,1,3), oma = c(0,0,0,0), mgp = c(2, 1, 0), bg = white)
par(mar = rep(5,4))
plot(x-rnorm(100),y-rnorm(100), ylab = This is y, xlab = This is x)
z-rnorm(100)*250
par(new=T)   ## Tell R not to reinitialize graphic device
 ## for subsequent plots
plot(x,z,col='blue',axes=F, xlab=, ylab=)
axis(side=4,col.axis='blue', labels = T)
mtext(This is z, 4, 2, col = blue)
par(new=F)

 R-help,
 
 I am tring to create a plot with two  y-axis.
 I found an example which is fine but the problem is that the range of
 the second y-axes appears in the first y-axes causing confusion.
 The example I refer to is :
 
 ##
 dev.off()   ## start with a new graphics device
 # X11() or postscript()
 plot(x-rnorm(100),y-rnorm(100))
 z-rnorm(100)*250
 par(new=T)   ## Tell R not to reinitialize graphic device
  ## for subsequent plots
 plot(x,z,col='blue',axes=F)
 axis(side=4,col.axis='blue')
 
 par(new=F)
 ##
 
 which can be found at :
 
 http://www.demog.berkeley.edu/faq/node21.html 
 
 I also have a home made-example with exactly the same problem (pretty
 much the same as above)
 
 Any solution?
 
 Thanks in advance.

 Hello,

 When I create a ts object, I would like to get a particular value of this
 time serie according to the date and not the rank.
 However, it seems necessary to use the rank as if it were a simple vector.
 I would be very grateful if you could help out of this.
 I thank you in advance,
