Re: [R] Reading PDF files

Hello: Apart from readPDF in the tm package, you can use the pdf to text converter command in linux, which is "pdftotext".  Say "file.pdf" is your file, from R you'd use: system("pdftotext file.pdf -layout") This invokes the pdftotext command from within R and creates a file called "file.txt"

[R] plots for residual analysis

Hello List: I'm writing in R some code to produce plots for residual analysis and diagnostics in linear regressions.  An example of the plots produced is given for downloading at http://dl.dropbox.com/u/25445316/res_plots.png .  Regarding the example plot, I'd like to point out that: 1) Tendenc

[R] Sweave and " object of type 'closure' is not subsettable" error

Hello folks: I have a data frame which includes two numeric vectors: "Pa1" and "Ingr" (which represents income).  I run the following code on the R console: ingreso <- factor(ifelse(Ingr<=3000,"bajo","alto")) tapply(Pa1,ingreso,summary) boxplot(Pa1~ingreso) and it works fine.  However, when I "

[R] Interpretation of plots in linear regression models (verification of Gauss-Markov hypothesis)

Hello R Gurus: I'm doing a simple linear regression model: modelo1 <- lm(X9 ~ 1 + X1 + I(log(X2)) + X3 + I(log(X4)) + X5 + I(log(X6)) + X7) of which i later do a plot: plot(modelo1) This shows 4 graphics, about which I ask: 1) In the "Residuals vs. Fitted", what does the red curve represent?

[R] Obtaining midpoints of class intervals produced by cut and table

Hello list: I am using "cut" and "table" to obtain a frequency table from a numeric sample vector.  The idea is to calculate mean and standard deviation on grouped data.  However, I can't extract the midpoints of the class intervals, which seem to be strings treated as factors.  How do i extrac

[R] how to verify gauss-markov hypothesis for linear model validity?

Hello list: (This is probably a stupid question).  Is there a "quick and easy" way to confirm the gauss-markov conditions of a linear multiple regression model?  That the mean of the residuals is 0 can easily be tested for. The normality of the residuals as well (shapiro-wilk?).  But what abou

[R] goodness of fit between two samples of size N (discrete variable)

Hello list: I generate by simulation (using different procedures) two sample vectors of size N, each corresponding to a discrete variable and I want to text if these samples can be considered as having the same probability distribution (which is unknown). What is the best test for that? I've

Re: [R] How to model this? (R-help Digest, Vol 67, Issue 25)

Hello Senne: I am currently teaching a simulation and modeling course in which we use R for most purposes and Sim Py (a python module for discrete event simulation). I am looking for a real-life case such as yours to approach in class- if you wish, i would be happy to look into the case you ar
