Dear Nicola,
There are undoubtedly people here who are familiar with both S+ and R,
but they may not always be around or get to every question. In that
case there are (at least) two good options for you:
1) Say what you want mathematically (something of a universal
language) or statistically
2) Rather than just give us S+ code, show sample data (e.g., 1:1000),
and the values you would like obtained (in this case whatever the
output from S+ was). This would let us *try* to figure out what
happened and duplicate it in R.
>From the arcane step of reading R's documentation for density (?density):
width: this exists for compatibility with S; if given, and ‘bw’ is
not, will set ‘bw’ to ‘width’ if this is a character string,
or to a kernel-dependent multiple of ‘width’ if this is
numeric.
Which makes me wonder if this works for you (in R)?
density(1:1000, width = 4)
Cheers,
Josh
