For me the largest challenge with such data sets is the extra time  
that it takes to develop the appropriate graph, given the time it  
takes to plot each prototype. Once I have got the graph scale  
decorations etc correct then the time for the final plot is almost  
irrelevant.

For this reason I often take a random subset of the data rows using  
sample and use this reduced set to develop the graph before switching  
to the full dataset.

Since your data are monotonocally decreasing however I suggest that  
you take every 100th row instead-this should produce a graph  
indistinguishable from the original at that resolution.

Hi all!

I am new to R and I would like to ask you the following question:How
can I substitute the NA values with 0 in a data frame? I cannot find a
command to check if a value is NA...

Thank you very much!

Dear list,

I would like to generate random numbers from a Voigt distribution,
hopefully in a way as simple as getting random numbers from a normal
distribution with 'rnorm'. Is there any package to do this? Speed is an
issue in this application. Or, as the Voigt distribution is a
convolution of a Gaussian and a Lorentzian, can I simply combine random
numbers from rnorm and rcauchy in some way (I'm not sure about the maths
of this)?

Best wishes,
David.

Problem comes from

lapply(split(x$V2, interaction(x$V1, x$V3)), sd)

specifically from

> split(x$V2, interaction(x$V1, x$V3))

<snip>

$A02.1
numeric(0)

$A03.1
[1] 2.98

$A04.1
numeric(0)

> sd(1)
[1] NA
> sd(numeric(0))
Error in var(x, na.rm = na.rm) : 'x' is empty

I am not sure if what value shall sd, var or cov(x) return if x is empty. 
You probably have 2 options

rewrite sd to handle empty vectors
use another aggregate function together with some reordering, see eg.

aggregate(x$V2, list(x$V1, x$V3 == 0), FUN = sd)

As has been said, is.na() is the function which determines
whether something has "value" NA (result=TRUE) or not (result=FALSE).

is.na() will work nicely with dataframes (also, of course, with
structures such as vectors, matrices and arrays). Example:

  dummy<-data.frame(X1=c(101,102,103,104,NA,106),
                    X2=c(201,202,203,NA,205,206))

  dummy
#  X1  X2
#1 101 201
#2 102 202
#3 103 203
#4 104  NA
#5  NA 205
#6 106 206

  dummy[is.na(dummy)] <- 0

  dummy
#  X1  X2
#1 101 201
#2 102 202
#3 103 203
#4 104  0
#5  0 205
#6 106 206

Hoping this makes it clear!
Ted.

Is there a way to use R as a client server application?

Whitch means: 
1. install R on a server (running as a service)
2. from client send R-scripts through IDE/Editor (TINN-R) to "R-server" 
3. receive R-output on client

I am not sure whether there is a bug. When I tested the example given
for "glht" in the help, I entered the following error:



Running commands:

amod <- aov(minutes ~ blanket, data = recovery)
rht <- glht(amod, linfct = mcp(blanket = "Dunnett"), 
              alternative = "less")


Errors are:

Error in try(coef.(model)) : could not find function "coef."

Error in modelparm.default(model, ...) : no 'coef' method for 'model'
found!



Thanks!

Is there an R analog of the Unix command uniq -c:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uniq

Given an array x, uniq -c replaces each contiguous subsequence of  
identical numbers with a tuple (count, number).  E.g.

$ cat > usample
10
10
9
8
8
7
7
7
6
3
1
1
1
0
$ uniq -c usample
      2 10
      1 9
      2 8
      3 7
      1 6
      1 3
      3 1
      1 0

Cheers,

I am not sure whether there is a bug. When I tested the example given for "glht"
in the help, I entered the following error:

Running commands:

amod <- aov(minutes ~ blanket, data = recovery)
rht <- glht(amod, linfct = mcp(blanket = "Dunnett"),
              alternative = "less")

Errors are:

Error in try(coef.(model)) : could not find function "coef."

Error in modelparm.default(model, ...) : no 'coef' method for 'model'
found!



Thanks!

Do you need something more than a simple ssh connection to a remote
host in which you run R (trivial when the server is Linux)?

My advice is to run R in a "screen" session on the remote host (it
protects from sudden disconnections). Then you have a window on your
screen with the R command line, which you can copy/paste your scripts
to (from whichever editor you want) as if it was running locally. Of
course, on-screen graphics works (if you forward X... if you see what
I mean) but it depends on connection speed (in LAN no problem, through
internet it can be a pain, I usually don't use it then) and you need
an X server running locally (if the 'client' is windows, cygwin highly
recommended).

A real R 'server' could be very useful though.

Also, incidentally several weeks ago, I had added the following
to the 'ChangeLog' of my package  "sfsmisc" :

2007-10-13  Martin Maechler  <maechler at stat.math.ethz.ch>

    * R/prettylab.R (eaxis): new function for nice (log) axis
    labeling. (pretty10exp): drop.1: -10^k instead of -1*10^k

Here is the code -- which also needs package sfsmisc.

eaxis <- function(side, at = axTicks(side, log=log), labels = NULL, log = NULL,
                  f.smalltcl = 3/5, at.small = NULL, small.mult = NULL,
                  outer.at = TRUE, drop.1 = TRUE)
{
    ## Purpose: "E"xtended, "E"ngineer-like (log-)axis
    ## ----------------------------------------------------------------------
    ## Author: Martin Maechler, Date: 13 Oct 2007

stopifnot(require("sfsmisc")) ## <<<--- just for the post to R-help

    is.x <- side%%2 == 1
    if(is.null(log)) {
        XY <- function(ch) paste(if (is.x) "x" else "y", ch, sep = "")
        log <- par(XY("log"))
    }
    ## use expression (i.e. plotmath) if 'log' or exponential format:
    use.expr <- log || format.info(as.numeric(at), digits=7)[3] > 0
    if(is.null(labels))
    labels <- if(use.expr) pretty10exp(at, drop.1=drop.1) else TRUE
    else if(is.na(labels)) # no 'plotmath'
    labels <- TRUE
    axis(side, at = at, labels = labels)
    if(is.null(at.small)) { ## create smart default, using small.mult
        at.small <-
            if(log) {
                if(is.null(small.mult)) small.mult <- 9
                at. <- at[log10(at) %% 1 < 1e-3] ##  the 10^k ones:
                if(length(at.))
                    outer(2:small.mult, c(if(outer.at) at.[1]/10, at.))
            } else {
                ## assumes that 'at' is equidistant
                d <- diff(at <- sort(at))
                if(any(abs(diff(d)) > 1e-3 * (dd <- mean(d))))
                    stop("'at' is not equidistant")
                if(is.null(small.mult)) {
                    ## look at 'dd' , e.g. in {5, 50, 0.05, 0.02 ..}
                    d. <- dd / 10^floor(log10(dd))
                    small.mult <- {
                        if(d. %% 5 == 0) 5
                        else if(d. %% 4 == 0) 4

                        else if(d. %% 0.5 == 0) 5
                        else 2 }
                }
                outer(1:(small.mult-1)/small.mult * dd,
                      c(if(outer.at) at[1]-dd, at), "+")
            }
        ##
        if(outer.at) { # make sure 'at.small' remain inside "usr"
            p.u <- sort(par("usr")[if(is.x) 1:2 else 3:4])
            if(log) p.u <- 10^p.u
            at.small <- at.small[p.u[1] <= at.small & at.small <= p.u[2]]
        }
    }
    axis(side, at = at.small, label = FALSE,
        tcl = f.smalltcl * par("tcl"))
}

A few example calls [ from  example(eaxis)  once you've got the
                          new version of package 'sfsmisc' ]:

x <- lseq(1e-10, 0.1, length = 201)
plot(x, pt(x, df=3), type = "l", xaxt = "n", log = "x")
eaxis(1)

## If you like the ticks, but prefer traditional (non-"plotmath") labels:
plot(x,  gamma(x),  type = "l", log = "x")
eaxis(1, labels=NA)

x <- lseq(.001, 0.1, length = 1000)
plot(x, sin(1/x)*x, type = "l", xaxt = "n", log = "x")
eaxis(1)

## non- log-scale : draw small ticks, but no "10^k" if not needed:
x <- seq(-100, 100, length = 1000)
plot(x, sin(x)/x, type = "l", xaxt = "n")
eaxis(1)

----------------

Given the interest, I've now made sfsmisc ready for the next
release, version 0.96-01  
and uploaded that to CRAN.
Feedback is highly appreciated.

The unpatient can it also get from 
ftp://ftp.stat.math.ethz.ch/U/maechler/R/
both as source (*.tar.gz)  or Windows-binary package (*.zip).

Hi,

tbe R.batch package (http://www.braju.com/R/) was written to run
multiple batch jobs on one or more hosts sharing the same file system.
It doesn't do everything you want but part of it. For details, see
r-help thread 'R.batch (Was: Re: [R] Calling R from R and specifying
"wait until script is finished")' on May 22, 2005:

Hi,

tbe R.batch package (http://www.braju.com/R/) was written to run
multiple batch jobs on one or more hosts sharing the same file system.
It doesn't do everything you want but part of it. For details, see
r-help thread 'R.batch (Was: Re: [R] Calling R from R and specifying
"wait until script is finished")' on May 22, 2005:

Hi there

I have an interesting problem:

My csv file is of array dimensions [12,50], but it was saved the wrong way: there should be only 11 colums. What happens now if I read it into R is that the whole data set is shifted ( in the first row, the last column contains already the first value of the supposed second row and so on...)

how can I tell R to switch after 11 read values to the next row, taking the value from column 12 as first in the new row (for row 3 the two second last of the upper row etc...)

Thanks for suggestions

marc

Some of the bits and pieces in this look like very strong candidates for 
breaking off into CRAN packages, if you haven't done so already.

This looks like very nice work - you should be proud!  :-)

Fellow Rers,

Please forgive me if I have posted this to the wrong R list serve.

Over the course of the years that I have used R and participated in this list server, I have noted a large number of questions and answers that direct people to specific packages. The multitude of packages is one of the great strengths of R. Unfortunately there is no (or at least I am not aware of) any single source that lists all available packages and gives a synopsis of what each package does. One can install  and load packages one-by-one and look at the help pages to see what each package does, but this is at best an inefficient and a worst a very frustrating task. Might there be a way to put together a searchable database that will allow a user to easily search for a given function or technique in all contributed packages?

Thanks,
John 

P.S. Many thanks to the writers and maintainers of R packages and the many people who contribute to the R list server.

  The survfit function, when applied to the results of a Cox model, will give 
the predicted survival curve for any particular combination of covariates in the 
model.  You cannot get what you are asking for, i.e., distinct levels of X while 
ignoring Y, from survfit.  What you need to do is create a data frame containing 
values for the curves that you want, e.g.,
      mydata <- data.frame(X=c(1,2,3,4), y=c(8,8,8,8))
    cfit  <- survfit(mod.phm, newdata=mydata)
    plot(cfit, lty=1:4)
People often choose a 'common' value of y for the plot.

Arguably the better approach is to average over the levels of y.  For this, I 
would recommend that you read chapter 10 of Therneau and Grambsch, Modeling 
Survival Data.  The discussion really does take a whole chapter, and is too long 
for a help-list synopsis.
    Terry Therneau
    
------------------------------------------------------------

Thanks for your help. I want to draw a plot which shows separate
survival curves for each category of X on the same plot(same set of
axes). Your code produces a separate curve for each combination of X
and Y but I don't want curves for combinations of X and Y since Y has
many levels and also the values of Y don't have any significance in my
case. Is there  a way of doing what i want to do i.e. getting separate
survival curves for each level of X using the function survfit() on an
object mod.phm which is a coxph object such that:

mod.phm<-coxph(formula=Surv(time,Flag_Death)~X+Y, data= datFrame)

Gabor,
The URL you cited is helpful, but it is not searchable. It can not be used, for example, to easily determine that MASS can be used for boxcox   tranforms.

This was my intention, but I'm not able to read it in as a vector (because i don't know the function, neither I can convert the read in table to a vector and then to matrix or directly.

What did I miss or where do I have to look up?

thanks alot

For example : I have a range of 0 to 3000 in my y-axis and I want to make a

It is searchable (use your browser's search facilities), and that is often 
helpful.  But you can do your search at search.r-project.org (thanks to 
Jonathan Baron): select 'Complete list of all packages', select a package 
and browse its help.

If you are looking for a way to do Box-Cox, or the function boxcox(), 
search on that site, or for packages you already have installed, use 
help.search().  One reason we find it useful to have a system with all 
packages installed (that do install) is to make it easy for our users to 
search for what they want, and then use it.

Then what about

http://finzi.psych.upenn.edu/R/doc/html/packages.html

which allows you to go in a little deeper and see the help pages of each function

You mean non-linearity?
You can use a lack of fit test by using:
anova(lm(y ~ x+factor(x), data))
The F-value of factor(x) is the lack of fit test, and when lineair, the p
value should be <0.05 when using 0.95% significance.

Hi,

I am trying to find some information on the strata option in randomForest(). 
I am hoping to make predictions from some clustered data (many predictors 
measured repeatedly on the same subject over time). I would like to apply 
random forests or gradient boosting ( gbm() ) to this problem but I have not 
found a way for these methods to account for the natural clustering in my 
data.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers

Peter

Hi Friends



I am working on a Financial Model project in R and require help in
writing code for Moving Averages. Since I am very new to R, it would be
good if any seniors in the group can guide me on a proper moving average
code.

You can get a synopsis from CRAN if the package description has been
filled in in sufficient detail.

Also, you can try ?RSiteSearch and give it terms for something you are
looking for, or view Jonathan Baron's web site directly:

http://finzi.psych.upenn.edu/search.html

which includes CRAN packages, R functions (base and other packages in
distribution) and a few other sources, inc. Bioconductor.

There are also Task Views, which try to pool information for specific
fields:

http://cran.r-project.org/src/contrib/Views/

Hi Thanks for the reply.

I implemented your solution to my problem but ...

For some of my column there is not enough data to do t-test so it gives me
error and stops the for loop, is any graceful way to check for error msg and
say ok if there is no $p.value continue to the next column

Once again thx for help.

Another useful search facility is
http://www.rseek.org

The nice thing is that it categorizes results by help-list items, R function

It might be closer to what you are looking for.

I seem to be missing something. How can you have a
rectanglar data.frame of 12* 50 and convert it into 11
* x?  600/11 is not an integer.  

However leaving that minor detail aside: Let xx be the
data.frame that you have read in: 
yy <- unlist(xx)
zz <- t(matrix(yy, nrow=11))

might work.

Try 'hexbin' for plotting this many points.

There is code for moving averages already in R. There is some
information in the 'zoo' package.

?filter

What specifically are you looking for?

Content-Type: text/plain;    charset="US-ASCII"

Hello everyone,

I am new to R. I have data in the form of excel pivot table format and I
want to cast it into a format which can make it compatible with
computation. 

Since I already have the package in pivot format; I avoid melt function
and use the cast directly. 
I inspect the 

dataread <- read.csv(".....", header=TRUE)

Data in the format 
Id        Region            Country    Industry
Period    variable        value
"Aaa11  xx"  "Latin America"     "Mexico"    "food & beverages"
"2002:FY"  "account payable" 10000
"Aaa11  xx"  "Latin America"     "Mexico"    "food & beverages"
"2002:FY"  "account receivable" 50000
"Aaa11  xx"  "Latin America"     "Mexico"    "food & beverages"
"2002:FY"  "XXXX"     70000
"Aaa11  xx"  "Latin America"     "Mexico"    "food & beverages"
"2002:FY"  "YYYY" "NA"
"Aaa11  xx"  "Latin America"     "Mexico"    "food & beverages"
"2002:FY"  "ZZZZ" 
"Aaa11  xx"  "Latin America"     "Mexico"    "food & beverages"
"2002:FY"  "AAAA" 10000
"Aaa11  xx"  "Latin America"     "Mexico"    "food & beverages"
"2002:FY"  "ccccccc" 10000

# I want to arrange data in the format
Id        Region            Country    Industry
Period    "account payable"    "account receivable"    XXXX"    "YYYYY"
"ZZZZ"    "AAAA"    "CCCCC"
"Aaa11  xx"  "Latin America"     "Mexico"    "food & beverages"
"2002:FY"    10000    50000        70000    "NA"        10000
10000        

# casting the data
cast <- cast(dataread, ID + Period ~ variable)

When I do that the data is casted as a pivot with a warning "Aggregation
requires fun.aggregate: length used as default", and the casted data
gives me the count of variables (as suggested by the warning )

Id        Region            Country    Industry
Period    "account payable"    "account receivable"    XXXX"     "YYYYY"
"ZZZZ"    "AAAA"    "CCCCC"
"Aaa11  xx"  "Latin America"     "Mexico"    "food & beverages"
"2002:FY"    1    1    1    NA    NA        10000
10000        

How do I use the fun.aggregate feature of the cast function to obtain
the desired result?

Moreover, I want to subdivide the casted data into subsets based on ids.
How do I achieve that?


Thanks in advance,

Punit Anand

Hi R users,

I have collected data which I plot(x,y).The problem it has oscillations.
Now i'm trying to "make better" this curve with a smooth line. And then
collect my new datas.
But I don't know how doing this.

Perhaps a linear regression ??

Hi R users,

I have collected data which I plot(x,y).The problem it has oscillations.
Now i'm trying to "make better" this curve with a smooth line starting let's
say @x=300 s.
And then collect my new datas.
But I don't know how doing this.

Perhaps a linear regression ??

See .jpeg foto.

Thanks for any help it will be given.

Hello.

I'm replying because you haven't had a reply. You haven't said which
system you are running or which version of different packages you have
installed.

On my system (see below for the results from running sessionInfo())
that code runs fine with no errors at all.

library(multcomp)
#  Loading required package: mvtnorm
amod <- aov(minutes ~ blanket, data=recovery)
rht <- glht(amod, linfct = mcp(blanket = "Dunnett"),
              alternative = "less")
rht


produces:


General Linear Hypotheses

Multiple Comparisons of Means: Dunnett Contrasts


Linear Hypotheses:
            Estimate
b1 - b0 >= 0  -2.133
b2 - b0 >= 0  -7.467
b3 - b0 >= 0  -1.667

This all sounds a bit odd, and (although I am not an R expert by any
means) therefore wonder whether you have an installation problem of
some form?

Hello everyone, 

Since the fields in variables column are unique with respect to ID and
fiscal year; any function like 
sum,min,max,mean etc will lead to the desired result

Therefore cast(dataread, ID + Period ~ variable,sum)
Will lead to the desired result in my case; 

Thanks,

Subject: Help Required in using cast (reshape package) function

Hello everyone,

I am new to R. I have data in the form of excel pivot table format and I
want to cast it into a format which can make it compatible with
computation. 

Since I already have the package in pivot format; I avoid melt function
and use the cast directly. 
I inspect the 

dataread <- read.csv(".....", header=TRUE)

Data in the format 
Id        Region            Country    Industry
Period    variable        value
"Aaa11  xx"  "Latin America"     "Mexico"    "food & beverages"
"2002:FY"  "account payable" 10000
"Aaa11  xx"  "Latin America"     "Mexico"    "food & beverages"
"2002:FY"  "account receivable" 50000
"Aaa11  xx"  "Latin America"     "Mexico"    "food & beverages"
"2002:FY"  "XXXX"     70000
"Aaa11  xx"  "Latin America"     "Mexico"    "food & beverages"
"2002:FY"  "YYYY" "NA"
"Aaa11  xx"  "Latin America"     "Mexico"    "food & beverages"
"2002:FY"  "ZZZZ" 
"Aaa11  xx"  "Latin America"     "Mexico"    "food & beverages"
"2002:FY"  "AAAA" 10000
"Aaa11  xx"  "Latin America"     "Mexico"    "food & beverages"
"2002:FY"  "ccccccc" 10000

# I want to arrange data in the format
Id        Region            Country    Industry
Period    "account payable"    "account receivable"    XXXX"    "YYYYY"
"ZZZZ"    "AAAA"    "CCCCC"
"Aaa11  xx"  "Latin America"     "Mexico"    "food & beverages"
"2002:FY"    10000    50000        70000    "NA"        10000
10000        

# casting the data
cast <- cast(dataread, ID + Period ~ variable)

When I do that the data is casted as a pivot with a warning "Aggregation
requires fun.aggregate: length used as default", and the casted data
gives me the count of variables (as suggested by the warning )

Id        Region            Country    Industry
Period    "account payable"    "account receivable"    XXXX"     "YYYYY"
"ZZZZ"    "AAAA"    "CCCCC"
"Aaa11  xx"  "Latin America"     "Mexico"    "food & beverages"
"2002:FY"    1    1    1    NA    NA        10000
10000        

How do I use the fun.aggregate feature of the cast function to obtain
the desired result?

Moreover, I want to subdivide the casted data into subsets based on ids.
How do I achieve that?


Thanks in advance,

Punit Anand

Besides the excellent answers already given, don't overlook
Google.  Searching on "r statistics box-cox transform" turns up
a reference to MASS as the third entry. 

When programming in any language, I now find it quicker to
search for syntax (and other) help by Googling than to pull the
reference manual off the shelf or start up an online help file.

Dear All,
  Sorry if this question may not be appropriate to this list. I have the following question about the significance of effects in NLME. I fitted data with nlme using  the SSlogis as a  specification for the conditional mean of my dependent variable Y. When xmid and scal were considered as random,  my covarite of interest X was found to have a significant effect on xmid but not on scal. However, when I assume that only xmid is random, the effect of my covariate X was found to have a significant effect on both xmid and scal. Of course the AIC and the residuals were both smaller in the firts model. Thus my question: Which model should I select: the one that  fits  better to the data (i.e Model 1) or the one that shows significant effects of my covariate (Model2). Or in another way, Is it legitimate to use model 2?
  
  Many thanks in advance,
  
  Bernard

You should probably check that, as the warning only occurs when
aggregation is definitely occurring.

If you want a list of data frames by ID, you might also want to try:

cast(dataread, Period ~ variable | ID, sum)

A further tip:

    subset(as.data.frame(xtabs( ~. , dat )), Freq != 0 )

Comes very close to generating output along the lines of what

    'sort | uniq -c'

provides (if this is what was wanted rather than rle() ) and works for 
multiple columns of data. The count becomes the last column (labelled 
'Freq'); it is trivial to reorder columns if needed.

Hello Mysimbaa,

If you want to fit a smooth line to your data, there are many ways to do 
it.  One option is to use splines.  See the smooth.spline() function. 
If you only want to add a line to highlight the trend in your data, that 
should be enough.  But if you want to do more serious analytical work, 
it is probably a good idea to learn about the different methods, its 
assumptions and limitations.

Hey Marc,

You can use the function scan() directly to read your file as a single 
vector.  Then, as Rob suggested, use the matrix function to give it the 
dimensions you want.

Other option (perhaps less elegant) is to do something like this.

x=read.table (myfile,...etc.etc.)
x=as.vector(as.matrix(x))
x=matrix(x,ncol=11,byrow=T)

Message-ID: <465850.116.qm at web63505.mail.re1.yahoo.com>
Content-Type: text/plain

Hello fellow R users,

I have a matrix computation that I imagine should be relatively easy to do, however I cannot figure out a nice way to do it. I have two matrices, for example

mat1 <- matrix(c(1:5,rep(NA,5), 6:10), nrow=3, byrow=T)
mat2 <- matrix(c(2:6, 6:10, rep(NA,5)), nrow=3, byrow=T)

I'd like to compute the element-wise average for non-NA entries. Of course

(mat1+mat2)/2

does not work for the final two rows because of the NA's. Are there any elegant ways to accopmlish this without writing a loop with indices?

Thanks in advance for any assistance.

Greg

Hi:
Does anyone(Hadley?)know how to change the axis labels
with the new version of ggplot2? With the old version
I used the code below:
grid.gedit("label", gp=gpar(fontsize=10, col="blue"))

Maybe there is a more elegant solution, but here is one possibility:

mat1[is.na(mat1)]<-mat2[is.na(mat1)]
mat2[is.na(mat2)]<-mat1[is.na(mat2)]

(mat1+mat2)/2

The zoomplot function in the TeachingDemos package does this.  Note
however that it is a quick and dirty kludge that should only be used for
quick exploring.  If you plan to use the graph for anything more than
suggesting the next graph to make, then you should rerun the graphics
command setting the xlim or ylim parameters to what you want (and in my
opinion any plot command more than 1 line long (and even some 1 liners)
should be copied into a script window/file so that it is easy to edit
and rerun them (the plot2script function in TeachingDemos (another
kludge) or the history function in base (better) can help create the
script)).

Hope this helps,

Hi,

I have processed measurements of a rough surface to a heigh-height
correlation plot. What the meaning of this exactly is, is not important.
Only that it is a plot that had two (almost ) linear parts when plotted on a
logaritmic scale. In this plot, I want to draw the best fitting lines for
these linear parts but I just can't get it done. It is easy when the scales
are linear but as you might have imagined, the scales being logarithmic
don't add to the simplicity of my problem.
Thanks in advance!

That should still work? If it doesn't, you should be able to figure
out what the new element name is by following the recipe in the last
chapter of the ggplot book.

Dear list,

I've recently become interested in comparing the spectral estimates
using the different methods ("pgram" and "ar") in the spectrum()
function in the stats package.

With many thanks to the authors of these complicated functions, I
would like to point out what looks to me like a bit of an
inconsistency -- but I would not be surprised if there is good
reasoning that justifies it that I am just not seeing right now. If we
use the lh data, the two methods return similar results:

> spectrum(lh, col = "blue")
> spec.ar(lh, add = TRUE)

But using the ldeaths data:

> spectrum(ldeaths, col = "blue")
> spec.ar(ldeaths, add = TRUE)

the resulting plots do not compare over the same frequency range. This
results because spec.ar defines frequency as

> freq <- seq.int(0, 0.5, length.out = n.freq)

whereas spec.pgram uses

> xfreq <- frequency(x)
> N <- nrow(x)
> Nspec <- floor(N/2)
> freq <- seq.int(from = xfreq/N, by = xfreq/N, length.out = Nspec)

And so the reason the spectral estimates of lh are similar is that
frequency(lh) = 1, whereas frequency(ldeaths) = 12.

The documentation seems more extensive for spec.pgram (and the
pertinent section in MASS focuses on spec.pgram), and I realize that
there is a warning in ?spec.ar that AR spectra can be misleading. But
is there a reason that I am not aware of that the frequencies of the
AR spectra are defined in this way? It seems to me that it would be
desirable for frequency to be defined over the same range as in
spec.pgram. All that would need to be added would be a line to scale
the freq vector using the sampling frequency before it is returned.

Frequency has units (1/wavelength), and this is just a question of using 
different units.  For monthly series, is this per month or per year?

The functions were written for R at different times by different people: 
it would seem to make sense to alter spec.ar to use the per year 
interpretation.  It would be unusual to use spec.ar on a series with known 
frequency (I have never seen it done), and it is arguable that the per-lag 
interpretation is more natural for that method.

I haven't used it myself, but have a look at ?frailty in the survival 
package.

Subject: [R] survest and survfit.coxph returned different confidence
    intervals on estimation of survival probability at 5 year
To: <r-help at stat.math.ethz.ch>
Message-ID:
    <425B10826271C048A4F65FC6C810F5D638E60A at mail.arcturusag.local>
Content-Type: text/plain

I wonder if anyone know why survest (a function in Design package) and
standard survfit.coxph (survival) returned different confidence
intervals on survival probability estimation (say 5 year). 

I am trying to estimate the 5-year survival probability on a continuous
predictor (e.g. Age in this case). Here is what I did based on an
example in "help cph". The 95% confidence intervals returned by
survfit.coxph and survest seem different. 

### Create example dataset
n <- 1000
set.seed(731)
age <- 50 + 12*rnorm(n)
label(age) <- "Age"
sex <- factor(sample(c('Male','Female'), n, TRUE))
cens <- 15*runif(n)
h <- .02*exp(.04*(age-50)+.8*(sex=='Female'))
dt <- -log(runif(n))/h
label(dt) <- 'Follow-up Time'
e <- ifelse(dt <= cens,1,0)
dt <- pmin(dt, cens)
units(dt) <- "Year"
dd <- datadist(age, sex)
options(datadist='dd')
Srv <- Surv(dt,e)

### Use Design package cph and survest to estimate 5-year survival and
its 95% CI.

library(Design)
par(mfrow=c(1,2), pty="s")
fd <- cph(Srv ~ age, x=TRUE, y=TRUE, surv=T)
tmp <- survest(fd, newdata= age, times=5)

dd.plot <- data.frame(age=age, lower=tmp$lower[,1], surv=tmp$surv[,1],
upper=tmp$upper[,1]) 
oo <- order(age)
dd.plot <- dd.plot[oo,]
matplot(dd.plot$age, dd.plot[,-1], col=c(2,1,2), type="l", lty=c(4,1,4),
xlab="Age", ylab="Survival Prob", main="Use cph, survest")


### Use coxph and survfit to estimate 5-year survival and its 95% CI.

detach(package:Design)

fs <- coxph(Srv ~ age, x=T, y=T)
tmp <- survfit(fs, newdata= data.frame(age=age))
tm <- max((1:length(tmp$time))[tmp$time <= 5 + 1e-6])

ds.plot <- data.frame(age=age, lower=tmp$lower[tm, ], surv=tmp$surv[tm,
], upper=tmp$upper[tm, ]) 
oo <- order(age)
ds.plot <- ds.plot[oo,]
matplot(ds.plot$age, ds.plot[,-1], col=c(2,1,2), type="l", lty=c(4,1,4),
xlab="Age", ylab="Survival Prob", main="Use coxph, survfit")


#### The estimated 95% CI are different between survfit.coxph and
survest

have a look at:

(there are a few functions documented there and you can choose which one
suits better your needs)

concerning multiple graphics devices just open another one,
for instance with

x11()

havina a look at
help(dev.set)

will provide further usrful information on the control of the gra[phical

This worked happily for quite some time but suddenly, I received 
this message:

> x11()
Error in x11() : 
  could not find any X11 fonts
Check that the Font Path is correct.

I can't think of what could have happened to have changed anything.  
So I tried this:

$ /usr/sbin/chkfontpath -l
Current directories in font path:
1: /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc:unscaled
2: /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi:unscaled
3: /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi:unscaled
4: /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc
5: /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Type1
6: /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Speedo
7: /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/cyrillic
8: /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/TTF
9: /usr/share/fonts/default/Type1
10:

I don't know what one would normally expect to see there, so I don't
know 
if that's strange or not.  The space after the 10: looks suspicious I
must 
admit but it might be as it should.

I notice in the archives that some people had a problem getting the font

path set in the first place, but that can't be the case here.

Someone had a problem with Gentoo but doesn't seem to have any
responses.  
Either that or the threading not working at
http://finzi.psych.upenn.edu/R/Rhelp02a/archive/71651.html makes it 
tricky to find one.  In any case that one doesn't appear to have worked 
previously anyway.

The only thing I can think of which might have made a difference is my 
addition to my .Rprofile to change the default device.  However, 
removing that change did not fix the problem.

Nothing else has a problem (including the pdf plotting device), so it's 
not exactly a disaster, but I'd like to know how it could have arisen.

TIA

Thanks to all those of you who answered my question about how to save a plot
to a file.
But now I have another problem. That is I wish to see / examine the plot on
the screen in advance of saving it to a file. If I launch X11() or pdf() or
Poscript() the plot does not appear on my screen .. So I have to save it
blindly ??

Thank you again

Hi friends,

I used heatmap(as.matrix(y2),col=rainbow(256),scale = "column") to
generate the heatmap. But it did not show the code that which
color correspond the value. Is there any parameter for this in
heatmap()?

Thanks a lot!

Since t.test takes much more time than parsing loop, I
won't hesitate to do a loop on the columns.

Install the Hershey vector fonts and then use something like:
plot(0,0)
text(0.25.0.25, "\\Re", vfont = c("serif symbol", "bold italic"), cex = 
1.5)

It's more "Gothic" than what you described, but it may be an acceptable 
substitute.

png function is used for producing png format (Portable Network

you need to use the postscript() function to generate a ps graph.

Greetings,

I would like to use some of the spatial statistics functions in R, but I am having trouble entering data.  My data is already in a distance matrix format, not an X Y coordinate format (each Xij cell in the matrix represens the distance from point i to j).  Does anyone know of a way to convert a distance matrix to a ppp object in spatstat, or an X,Y coordinate system for other packages? 

Thanks,
Jesse

You can't do this uniquely (shifts, rotations and reflection do not change 
the distances), but cmdscale() will produce one reconstruction.

I think that symbol is referred to as "R fraktur";  you can also get 
that via the symbol font, e.g., ...

library(grid)
grid.text(expression(symbol("\302")))

If you want an R fraktur that looks more like a Latex one, see
http://www.stat.auckland.ac.nz/~paul/R/CM/CMR.html

If you want the so-called "bold blackboard" fonts, for some devices at 
least, you should be able to access the font from your Latex 
distribution.  For example, the following code grabs the psyb font from 
the pxfonts package and uses it with R's PDF device (the paths to the 
font .afm and .pfb files may be different on your system) ...

# Tell R where the font .afm files are
pdfFonts(pxfonts=Type1Font("pxfonts",
            paste("/usr/share/texmf-tetex/fonts/afm/public/pxfonts/",
                  rep("pxsyb.afm", 4), sep="")))

pdf("pxfonttest.pdf")
# Use the pxfont
grid.text("R", gp=gpar(fontfamily="pxfonts"))
dev.off()

# Embed the pxfont so that readers and printers will
# not substitute a different font
embedFonts("pxfonttest.pdf",
    fontpaths="/usr/share/texmf-tetex/fonts/type1/public/pxfonts/")

Paul

p.s.  There's no need to "install" the Hershey fonts;  they come as part 
of R.

I have a numeric vector of lenth 1. I am trying to use it inside
a function just by giving its name, rather than specifying it as
an argument to the function. I am aware that there is an attach
function which you need to call. The attach function will accept a
list. However, I don't seem to be able to create the list properly. (Or 
should I use a frame instead?)

free_driver <- function (){
i <- numeric (1)
attach (as.list (i))
i <- 25

free_test ()

}
free_test <- function (){
print ("i =")
print (i)
return ()

}

Anyway, here is the output, starting with the load operation:

------------------------------------------------------------------

> free_driver <- function (){
+ i <- numeric (1)
+ attach (as.list (i))
+ i <- 25
+
+ free_test ()
+
+ }
> free_test <- function (){
+ print ("i =")
+ print (i)
+ return ()
+
+ }
> free_driver ()
Error in attach(as.list(i)) : all elements of a list must be named
>
--------------------------------------------------------------

Is there an easy way to name all elements of a list?

Your advice?

Install the Hershey vector fonts and then use something like:

It's more "Gothic" that what you described, but it may be an acceptable

You need at least 2 values for x and 2 values for y so you can just put an 
if clause in your for loop. Something like:

for (whatever) {
if(sum(!is.na(x)>1 & sum(!is.na(y)>1) do your t.test
}

Hi Tom,

If I understand your question is possible solve yours problem with this
code

free_driver <- function (){
i<-as.numeric(25)
i <- list(i)
free_test (i)
}


free_test <- function (i){
cat ("i =",i[[1]],"\n")
}


free_driver()

Maura,
The following worked for me.  Hope it helps.

I did a plot, the graphics showed up on my screen.  Then I did
dev.copy2eps(), the graphics was saved to a file called Rplot.eps.

I tried dev.copy(pdf) or dev.copy(png), but for some reason they generated 0
sized files for me.  I didn't figure out what happened for these formats.

Dear R developers

I encountered a slight problem with instalation of new R versions. Up to 
2.6.0 allwas OK. R 2.6.1rc and 2.7.0dev do not install due to inability to 
write C:\Documents..\PikalP\*.tmp file. I am not sure if it is a change of 
some MS instalation routines or if it is a change in R. 

My question is if this will be a standard procedure during installation of 
new versoions and I shall persuade our IT people to act accordingly.

Thank you

Hello

I can construct a correlation matrix from an (ordered) vector of
correlation coefficients as follows:

x <- c(0.1,0.2,0.3,0.4,0.5)
n <- length(x)
cmat <- diag(rep(0.5,n))
cmat[lower.tri(cmat,diag=0)] <- x
cmat <- cmat+t(cmat)

But how to do the reverse operation, i.e. produce x from cmat?

Thanks for help,
Serguei Kaniovski

Hi Allen,
If you want colors corresponding to the values with a color legend, have 
a look at color2D.matplot in the plotrix package.

Hi;
I have a R script that includes a call to genoud(); genoud process lasts
about 4 seconds, what would be OK if I hadn't have to call it about 2000
times. This yields about 2 hours of processing.
And I would like to use this script operationally; so that it should be
run twice a day. It seems to me that the parallel processing option
included in genoud() divides the task inside the function among the
computers included in the cluster. On the other hand, my consecutive calls
to genoud() are independent of each other, but all depend on objects
stored in the R workspace. I think that communication time among computer
for a 4 second task, repeated 2000 times should be slower that to divide
the calls to genoud among the number of available computers. So, perhaps a
viable option to speed up the process could be something as:

1) Somehow make a copy from the workspace on the fly (I mean put some
command, before the loop that call genoud(), to export the workspace in
its actual state to other computers)
2) divide the task in the number of available computers in the
network;e.g, if I've got my "localhost" and 3 computers more:
n.comp  <- 4
nsteps  <- 1987
steps.c <- trunc(nsteps/n.comp)
steps.c <- (1:n.comp)*steps.c
steps.c <-  c(steps.c[1:(n.comp-1)],nsteps)
steps.i <- c(1,steps.c[-n.comp]+1)
for(ic in 1:n.comp){
Somehow start remotely R, read the copied workspace and execute in
computer ic for(i in
steps.i[ic]:steps.c[ic]){something[i];genoud(f(i));somethin.else[i]}
and somehow get back results from ic
}
3) concacenate results in my "localhost" workspace

You can see I'm rather lost with this. Could you help with this?

Regards,
Javier

you can use model.matrix(), e.g.,

model.matrix(~ x - 1, data = data.frame(x = factor(x)))


I hope it helps.
