Dear All, Does anyone use S or R for statistical natural language processing (NLP)? All I have found so far is a package called EMU (http://www.shlrc.mq.edu.au/emu/emu-splus.shtml) which is a speech wave...

Dear List, My apologies for the multiple postings, which apparently were received by everyone on the list. For some reason the follow-ups were not echoing back to me, nor were they ever received by the archive (http://maths.newcastle...

Dear All, I am being told that R can process text files and strings as well as Perl (and is certainly more elegant). Being an R neophyte I need a little boost to get started. I have a little benchmark...

I am still having a problem accessing CRAN here in Florida (at 9:00 AM EST Friday morning): + install.packages(select.list(a[,1],,TRUE), .libPaths()[1], available=a)} trying URL `http://cran.r-project.org/bin/windows/contrib/PACKAGES...

Hello, This is not exactly an R question, but I suspect that there is an R procedure that does what I am calling (for lack of a better name) "histogram ranking". I'm trying to evaluate a set of regression...

Jason, Thanks. That should teach me to never judge a book by its cover. :-) John Day At 04:31 AM 6/13/02 +1200, Jason Turner wrote: >On Wed, Jun 12, 2002 at 07:23:02AM -0400, John Day wrote...

Philippe, I think you have slightly misunderstood what data-mining is all about. Data-miners tend to see themselves applying expertise from at least three areas: statistics, machine learning ("AI"), and database theory. Most data-mining problems involve extracting or...

Well, I'm answering my own question to report that there was no response. I also posed the same question on the S-News list and received one response: David Smith pointed me to the EMU link on the S...

Christian, Sounds like you want something that can run as a preprocess step from the command line. If so (and if you're in Unix) you can use 'uniq', which will remove any adjacent dupe lines, but otherwise leave the...

Prof. Bates, Thanks for the pointers. I ran your two-liner (the args to write.table() needed to be swapped) and noted the runtime to be about 0.9 secs in CMD BATCH mode, several times slower than the Perl...

Dear all, I received no response to this, which indicates that perhaps I didn't express myself clearly. Let me be a little more formal and try again: Let C be a classification problem where we are trying to classify...

Don, Thanks. I'm sure I am not the only who is learning a lot from this benchmark problem. It's very simple but is an abstract model for virtually all apps: open a file, do something to it, write...

Dear all, I received no response to this. Not sure if it was a glitch in the mailing list or maybe I didn't express myself clearly. Let me be a little more formal and try again: I want to...

[Note: I posted this Tuesday and re-sent it Wednesday and today, but it didn't show up in the list archive, so apparently got dropped on the floor somehow. I'll try again] Dear All, I received no response...
