Are you using windows? If you are you may want to try to run your R code from a batch file: REM on Microsoft Windows (adjust the path to R.exe as needed) "C:\Program Files\R\R-2.13.2\bin\x64\R.exe" CMD BATCH "C:\Users\Frank\Documents\R\Projects\Heinrich\Heinrich.txt" "C:\Users\Frank\Documents\R\Projects\Heinrich\Heinrich.out" PAUSE
Where ...Heinrich.txt is the following R code in a text file: pdf("Heinrich.pdf") ## load Pearson package library(PearsonDS) ## calculate probability density function Fig. 1 x <- seq(0.0, +20.0, length=100) hx<- dpearsonIV(x,m=2.25,nu=5,location=17,scale=2) k<-0.0206631 plot(x, hx , type="l", lwd=2, tck=1, xlab="x value", ylab="Density", main="J. Heinrich Fig. 1") ## calculate probability density function Fig 2 hx<- dpearsonIV(x,m=0.75,nu=1.0,location=15,scale=0.5) k<-0.218991 plot(x, hx , type="l", lwd=2, tck=1, xlab="x value", ylab="Density", main="J. Heinrich Fig. 2") quit() and Heinrich.out will contain the output of the results of the commands. Look at Heinrich.out for results and errors. Then correct the text file and rerun.
