[R] Rprofile file to automatically plot data, tried using the .First command.

2005-01-05 Thread John Fisler
Dear Dr. Andreas Kiermeier and the R help Community, Thank you for your idea on putting the plot command in a .First statement. I tried putting the plot comamnd in a '.First' statement like the following: x - c(1,2,3,4,5) y - c(2,5,6,3,10) .First - function() { plot(x,y) } and had the same error

RE: [R] cubic spline smoother with heterogeneous variance.

2005-01-05 Thread Liaw, Andy
AFAIK the impact of heteroscedasticity on smoothers in general is that automatic smoothing parameter selection (e.g., via cv or gcv) could be suboptimal. One possibility is to supply weights to smooth.spline(). The problem is how to estimate the weights? One possibility is to smooth the squared

The recommended way, I believe, is to _install_ the package (say in some test directory) and try it out. Only when you have no problem loading the package in R from that installation would you then try R CMD check. When you install the package (as R CMD check does, in the directory pkg.Rcheck),

See ?Startup and the rw FAQ for info on startup procedures. I assume by Rprofile file you mean Rprofile.site. As ?options -- defaultPackages states, the graphics library is one of those loaded by default but, as ?Startup states, **not** until after Rprofile.site is executed. Since plot()is now

RE: [R] plotting percent of incidents within different 'bins'

2005-01-05 Thread Dan Bolser
I was doing something very similar. I found it tricky to work out how to find a confidence interval for the 'percentage' of the outcome (I call it proportion). Some of my bins had all zeroes or all ones, so I couldn't work out how to make a variance that was sensible. Also some bins had few

No. You put the _whole_ thing into .First(), not just the plot statement. One possibility is to have the code in a script file (say myscript.R) and define .First as follows: .First - function() source(myscript.R) Haven't try it myself, though. Andy From: John Fisler Dear Dr. Andreas

I think you could just use the command: R CMD BATCH myplot.R with no .First at all. myplot.R would hold: win.metafile(filename = a.wmf, width = 5.7, height = 8.8, pointsize=12) plot(1:10) dev.off() You may want a different output file format so replace the win.metafile command with whatever
