Hi, You can read the R Data Import / Export Manual, that comes within the help files for the R Standard. I recommend specially the chapter 4, where you'll found the generical guidelines to connect to databases. At 4.3, RODBC Package, or DBI packages should be right to you.

Is there an alternative way to do this? What about trying some'at lahk: fmla <- as.formula(paste(yname,"~ time + as.factor(gvhd)")) mod2 <- with(...., lme(fmla, random = ....)) Also you would probably be better off using the data argument rather then using with(); this could have some impact on the environment in which the formula is evaluated. Just stabbing in the dark here since you did not provide a reproducible example. cheers, Rolf Turner -- Rolf Turner Technical Editor ANZJS Department of Statistics University of Auckland Phone: +64-9-373-7599 ext. 88276 Home phone: +64-9-480-4619 ------------------------------ Message: 6 Date: Sun, 08 Feb 2015 16:14:55 -0500 From: Duncan Murdoch <murdoch.dun...@gmail.com> To: Rolf Turner <r.tur...@auckland.ac.nz>, Ravi Varadhan <ravi.varad...@jhu.edu>, R-Help <r-help@r-project.org> Subject: Re: [R] Unable to use `eval(parse(text))' in nlme::lme Message-ID: <54d7d1cf.2010...@gmail.com> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=windows-1252 On 08/02/2015 3:49 PM, Rolf Turner wrote: > On 09/02/15 06:46, Ravi Varadhan wrote: >> Hi, >> >> I would like to run lme() on a number of response variables in a >> dataframe in an automatic manner.

Formulas are a little tricky: effectively they are evaluated twice. If you type something like y ~ x (or eval(parse(text="y ~ x")), or as.formula("y ~ x")) then a formula object is created. That object remembers the environment in which it was created, so later when the modelling function uses it, the x and y variables are evaluated in the original context. In your example, as.formula() will convert the string to a formula, and attach the current environment. So you'd better hope that whatever variable yname names, as well as time and gvhd, are all available there.

Message-ID: <54d8023b.9030...@gmail.com> Content-Type: text/plain; charset="UTF-8" Greetings -- Graphics newbie (I generally don't use R for graphics, so if the question is 'obvious', point that out gently ;-) I'm trying to use levelplot in the lattice package, to generate what I'll call a 'decision table', where optimal decisions (discrete, on the interval [0.0,0.5] by increments of 0.1) from a dynamic programming problem are plotted as a function of time since the time horizon. The 'matrix' I'm trying to plot is 100 rows x 10 columns. While using the following works, more or less... rgb.palette <- colorRampPalette(c("red", "green"), space = "rgb") levelplot(t(results$policy), main="optimal harvest", xlab="time from end", ylab="state (N)", col.regions=rgb.palette(6), cuts=6, at=seq(0,0.5,0.1)) the rendered figure is waaaaay too narrow. I want to make the proportions of the 'levelplot' (what I usually call a 'heat map') square (or something else that I specify). I'm used to dedicated graphics applications wherew I simply grab the figure and resize it to whatever aspect ratio I want. Obviously, with R, I need to invoke some sort of command line argument. In my searches, I've found a fair number of queries/answers about how to change the size of the graphics windows, but I could care lerss what the graphics window sizing is (presumably, it should adjust to whatever the size of the underlying graphic is). I want to 'hard code' the dimensions of the graphic itself, not the window it's rendered in. I'm sure the answer is out there, but I've been unsuccessful at finding the magic keywords in my searches. Thanks in advance.

Seems kind of a backward way to do it. I'd have thought setting size of the graphic, and then having the window size change dynamically around said graphic, would have been more intuitive.

Message-ID: <1ce14b42-c0d1-4f41-8a94-d4f2dead2...@dcn.davis.ca.us> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 The JPG data format uses something like the "markedBlock" defined in the hexView package, but some of the blocks are just markers with no data. Is there some simple way that I might have missed to explain this concept to hexView so the readFormat function can handle this? I have cobbled together some code to read part of the header but it doesn't parallel the format definition very well. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Jeff Newmiller The ..... .....

Chambers Statistical Software Award - 2015 Message-ID: <d0fc6601.8ae7%aarti.mun...@ucdenver.edu> Content-Type: text/plain; charset="UTF-8" John M. Chambers Statistical Software Award - 2015 Statistical Computing Section American Statistical Association The Statistical Computing Section of the American Statistical Association announces the competition for the John M. Chambers Statistical Software Award. In 1998 the Association for Computing Machinery presented its Software System Award to John Chambers for the design and development of S. Dr. Chambers generously donated his award to the Statistical Computing Section to endow an annual prize for statistical software written by, or in collaboration with, an undergraduate or graduate student. The prize carries with it a cash award of $1000, plus a substantial allowance for travel to the annual Joint Statistical Meetings (JSM) where the award will be presented. Teams of up to 3 people can participate in the competition, with the cash award being split among team members. The travel allowance will be given to just one individual in the team, who will be presented the award at JSM. To be eligible, the team must have designed and implemented a piece of statistical software. The individual within the team indicated to receive the travel allowance must have begun the development while a student, and must either currently be a student, or have completed all requirements for her/his last degree after January 1, 2014. To apply for the award, teams must provide the following materials: Current CV's of all team members. A letter from a faculty mentor at the academic institution of the individual indicated to receive the travel award. The letter should confirm that the individual had substantial participation in the development of the software, certify her/his student status when the software began to be developed (and either the current student status or the date of degree completion), and briefly discuss the importance of the software to statistical practice. A brief, one to two page description of the software, summarizing what it does, how it does it, and why it is an important contribution. If the team member competing for the travel allowance has continued developing the software after finishing her/his studies, the description should indicate what was developed when the individual was a student and what has been added since. An installable software package with its source code for use by the award committee. It should be accompanied by enough information to allow the judges to effectively use and evaluate the software (including its design considerations.) This information can be provided in a variety of ways, including but not limited to a user manual (paper or electronic), a paper, a URL, and online help to the system. All materials must be in English. We prefer that electronic text be submitted in Postscript or PDF. The entries will be judged on a variety of dimensions, including the importance and relevance for statistical practice of the tasks performed by the software, ease of use, clarity of description, elegance and availability for use by the statistical community. Preference will be given to those entries that are grounded in software design rather than calculation. The decision of the award committee is final. All application materials must be received by 5:00pm EST, Tuesday, February 17, 2015 at the address below. The winner will be announced in May and the award will be given at the 2015 Joint Statistical Meetings.
