[R] Self-describing data files

2011-11-06 Thread Schwab,Wilhelm K
Hello all, I have an outstanding request to documents units [1] or other variable-specific facts in data files. I am thinking in particular of tab-delimited files that are suitable to be read into a data frame. One suggestion/request is to add a line of text under the column headings. My fi

[R] plot(aModel) vs. influence.measures()

2011-01-05 Thread Schwab,Wilhelm K
A while back I asked about getting a list of points that R considers influential after fitting a linear model, and very quickly got a helpful pointer to influence.measures(). But "it has happened again." The trouble I am having is that points marked on plots are not flagged in the output from

Hello all, I fit a linear model to some data and used plot() to create diagnostic plots for the fit; I am having trouble reading the points that R is flagging as influential. Is there a way to get the list of influential points from the fit or its summary, etc.? Most likely, there are a few p

Hello all, I had a very strange looking problem that turned out to be due to unexpected (by me at least) format changes to one of my data files. We have a small lab study in which each run is represented by a row in a tab-delimited file; each row identifies a repetition of the experiment and a
