Seth, I want to second what John Sorkin said about V.7 and the Insightful licensing practices. Even on the basis of functionality I have already reverted to v. 6.2 after getting the V.7 "upgrade", an
Sorry for the repost, but I left off the subject line before... Seth, I want to second what John Sorkin said about V.7 and the Insightful licensing practices. Even on the basis of functionality I hav
I don't know the reasoning behind not including Bartlett's test, but in general the philosophy behind Splus has followed that of Cleveland and other authors who advocate graphical, exploratory approa

The "named" data class has been a thorn in my side (and probably everybody else's) since it was introduced in V.6. I was disappointed that it has not changed in v.7. That, coupled with several extra
If x is the data frame given by Tony Plate, the following gives the same result the way your cake decorator (or 6-year-old) would do it: subtract the years except for the last one if today's date is

I have another one for you gurus. I am trying to model the output of a particle-tracking model - this is a model in which the user drops a large number (~5000) of neutrally-buoyant particles into a h
Has anybody developed an Splus function for the empty corner test developed by Bardsley et al. 1999 Journal of Hydrology 219:1-6? Or any other test for empty corners in a scatterplot? Thanks....Wim =

Hello Splusers, this seems like a simple problem but I have not used lists much, so am a bit naive about how to manipulate them. Say I have a list: x = list (a=1:3, b=100, c="junk") and I want to sub
OK, it was probably a dumb question, but I really couldn't find the answer. Thanks very much to: Brad Biggerstaff Sundar Dorai-Raj Ted) Wright Deb Carlson Sarah Goslee Ken Newman Phil Spector Andy Li
Dave, I have found timeDate to be so mysterious and klunky that I have given up on it (Splus 6.0, but I think it is the same). Merge, graphs, and quite a few other operations that should be straightf
The "named" data type blindsided me too when I tried to use tapply and put the result in a dataframe. It is an utterly stupid concept and shouldn't be in there, but of course you didn't know it was t
Hello, I am trying to migrate from Splus 2000 to v. 6, against my better judgment (I fiercely resist most "upgrades" as a waste of time). I looked through the archives for answers to my questions, an
Hello, I am trying to find an algorithm to do piecewise regression when the location of the break is unknown. I tried using nls but I get an error message saying there are N NA's (where N is the numb
