Do I always need to "require" a package before using any function from it?
You not only need to install a package, but you need to load it for a particular script. That's what require('rJSON') is doing.
Similarly, you could use library(rJSON) at the beginning for similar ef …

What distribution would lead to this highly peaked and skewed density plot?
Assuming, as others have, that the small blip below zero is an artifact of a density smoothing process, rather than a small amount of negative data, your distribution looks like an exponential distrib …

Generation of distribution with given mean, standard deviation, lower and upper bounds
Sadly this won't do you much good in R, but since I think it's faintly on topic for the general question, this link on my blog: http://confounding.net/2010/12/01/randomly-generating-a-truncated-normal-distribution …

Way to get started with and learn R?
As mentioned above, there's "R for SAS Users", and you might also want to consider looking at the "SAS and R" blog: http://sas-and-r.blogspot.com/ and the accompanying book, which provides worked examples … in both SAS and R. …

Plotting ECDF (empirical cumulative distribution frequencies) with R
To be blunt, the plot you posted looks correct to me. Your data set hasn't been "reduced" to 25 variables - you only have values of the data up that far (technically only up to 23, but whose counting? …

How much RAM is needed for simulation studies using R?
R keeps all its data in memory, which means as you start having huge data sets - or large collections of data sets - you're going to top out your RAM. … If you're running out of memory resources, recode your project to save these data sets to a file, clear them from R -using rm() - and then open them back up when you need them. …

Network graph with avatars as nodes
I would suggest taking a look at NetworkX in Python, to add to the tremendous list of recommendations you're getting. I've found it to be quite flexible. It expressly allows things like images to be n …

How to create a dataset with conditional probability?
I'd argue your question isn't really that heavily dependent on the R language, and more appropriate here, because - to be blunt - the generation of data like this is mostly a statistical task, rather than …

How to calculate centrality measures in a 4 million edge network using R?
There are several R software packages one could use, including "sna" and "network". One thing I wouldn't necessarily rely on if you're having performance issues with sna is NetworkX. …

Plotting interval censored follow-up time as a line chart
Well, that was...fairly easy. Inspired by an unrelated graph in Visualize This:

Predicting absolute risk using cox regression
So by "absolute risk" I'm going to assume you mean either the cumulative probability of an event at time t, or the hazard at time t.
In short, no, a Cox proportional hazards model doesn't really give …
