Aside from An Introduction to R by W. N. Venables, D. M. Smith (the PDF is free), what would people recommend as a good starter book? I was thinking of introductory Statistics with R by Peter Dalgaard. Any thoughts?? My...

Hi! I just installed R on my computer, and I don't manage to run the function acf (autocovariance and autocorrelation function). It says me that this function is unknown. However, the standard functions like cos or read.table are...

>From what I have read on the archives there is no simple way to get data from bloomberg (historical dailies). I do have an old version of S-Plus and Finmetrics which can download bloomberg data. I know little about...

I am using the following: library(RODBC) chan = odbcConnectExcel("rats-lda") rats.lda = sqlFetch(chan, "data") close(chan) And getting the following error message: > library(RODBC) Error in library(RODBC) : there is no package called ?RODBC? > chan = odbcConnectExcel("rats-lda...

New to R, currently use FAME. One of the things I like about FAME is that if I have a series, say the near month for a commodity, I can set the series property so when i view weekly data...

Thanks. I should have thought that way. After building a local fix(), a few little things caught my attention: 1. when local fix() _masked_ the global fix(), there's no warning message given. 2. though fix() functions like the local...

Dear R-help, how could I create an R call in C code using lang2 with 2 and more arguments? I tried this code: SEXP f(SEXP fn, SEXP rho) { SEXP R_fcall, x, y; PROTECT(R_fcall = lang2(fn...

Dear r-eco-list users, This is not an R-question, but a statistical one, but maybe somebody can help. I had read that to set random points over an area and picking the nearest plant is not random sample...

Coming up to speed on both R and S-Plus. My access to S-Plus will end soon so I want to get up to speed on R. The big initial difference seems that R has only the command editor...

Hi, I built a PORT library (libport.a) from NetLib, which contains lots of Fortran subroutins. How can I statically load it into R? Or should I recompile R with this library? btw, all I'm trying to do is...

Hi, I've finally got a DSN working on my ODBC installation and I've tested it with the ODBC DataManager so I'm sure it's working. However when trying to connect to the DSN via R interface I...

I guess this may be well-known question, but I did search through the mail archive without finding the answer. so please forgive me asking. My problem is that I cannot use fix() to edit function. If I use fix...

Hi, I've been using "nlregb" routine in splus3.4, but cannot find it here in R. Is it hidden in some library? Or there is a routine equivalent to it but with a different name? I'm planning to...
