[R] read.spss: unrecognized record type

2004-12-07 Thread Göran Broström
When reading an spss file, I get the following message: Warning message: ../totmorH.sav: Unrecognized record type 7, subtype 13 encountered in system file. What does it mean? Do I have to worry? The result looks as expected. I do not have (easy) access to SPSS, so I cannot check exactly that

This has come up before you might try http://finzi.psych.upenn.edu/R/Rhelp02a/archive/36694.html The bottom line is that you either have to make sure that the SPSS datasets are in a format where no warnings come up or find a way to verify that no corruption is happening. As one of the posts

[R] how to test the existence of a name in a dataframe

[R] Importing vector graphics into R

2004-12-07 Thread Hinrich Göhlmann
Dear R users, I know of the possibility to import bitmaps via the nice pixmap library. But if you later on create a PDF it is somewhat disappointing to have such graphics bitmapped. Is there a trick (via maps?) to import a vector graphic and have them plotted onto a graph? My searching

The basic problem is that ESS is not being loaded. To find the init file, pull down the Help menu item and I believe that there is an entry Edit Init File (or similar -- I don't have access to (X)Emacs right now). Alternatively, after starting Emacs, open up: ~/.emacs and put it there (it will

For you reference, there exists a separate mailing list for ESS, which you can find on news.gmane.org just like the R list. Murray Eisenberg wrote: I'm a rank beginner with R, and I'm stumped at how to get it to work with Xemacs under Windows XP. I'm afraid there are some VERY basic questions

I prefer not to consider the implications of associating ourselves with something extinct. Beyond that, I'm more into reptiles that insects. On the other hand, I don't care much. I'm happy with the status quo and would be happy with whatever others decide. Best Wishes,
