Re: [R] how to specify a particular contrast

I didn't set the variable "treat" as ordered factor, just ordinary factor. In my example, the 3 levels of "treat" are of equal distance in the order of from a to b to c. So my understanding is that a contrast in the form of "a+c-2*b=0" was to test a linear trend of the response variable among the 3

Re: [R] things that are difficult/impossible to do in SAS or SPSSbut simple in R

2008-01-17 Thread Rob Robinson
I wonder if those who complain about SAS as a programming environment have discovered SAS/IML which provides a programming environment akin to Matlab which is more than capable (at least for those problems which can be treated with a matrix like approach). As someone who uses both SAS and R - grap

Thanks for your help! Works like a charm now - I can even append to an expression abject as if it was plain 'c()' ... Joh Prof Brian Ripley wrote: > On Thu, 17 Jan 2008, Johannes Graumann wrote: > >> Hi all, >> >> I asked something like this earlier but decided that a proper minimal >> example

Re: [R] acf lag1 value

2008-01-17 Thread Prof Brian Ripley
Please re-check your time-series books. The acf at lag 1 is _not_ the correlation between x and lag(x). For one thing, the variance of x is computed from the whole series, and not from the series with either the first or last value removed -- there is also the question of the divisor. See MAS

Hi all, I asked something like this earlier but decided that a proper minimal example might be helpfull ;0) Why does this work with regards to the expression (substitution): require(stats) plot(cars) text(5,120,labels=substitute(i^{z+phantom()}*"("*a*" AMU)",list(i="yx",z=2,a=0))) text(c(5,5),c(

Hi R, I have doubt. >x= c(4,5,6,3,2,4,5) >acf(x,plot=F,lag.max=1) Autocorrelations of series 'x', by lag 0 1 1.000 0.182 But if I actually calculate the autocorrelation at lag1 I get, >cor(x[-1],x[-length(x)]) [1] 0.1921538 Even in excel I get 0.1921538 val
