Hallo! Is there a package in R that does Q-type factor analysis? I know how to do principal component analysis, but haven't found any application of Q-type factor analysis. Thx, Julia -- Psssst! Schon vom neuen GMX MultiMessenger geh?rt? Der kanns mit allen: http://www.gmx.net/de/go/multimessenger

Dear all, Is there a quick and easy way of converting utf characters to the \uxxxx form (necessary e.g. for packages)? I mean something working like this: > utf2uxxxx("õäöü") [1] "\u00f5\u00e4\u00f6\u00fc" It is easy to program but perhaps someone already has implemented this. (I couldn't find anything useful from searches incl RSiteSearch). Thanks in advance, Kenn

Dear all, I've used RODBC a lot to read in files created in MS excel and access but found a strange problem today: a variable in my data file contained both numbers and text; sqlFetch would set text within a row of numbers to NA; but if first 5 or 6 rows would be text then all numbers would be read in as NA. con<-odbcConnectExcel("xample.xls") #the file is attached or at

There was a question in R forum very long time back.. on how to protect R Script files from inadvertent editing by users. There is a way to do this from within R, atleast in Windows XP I have tried this and it certainly works , The method is very different from the OS based folder protection route, however making available such a method in the open forum would only kill the very spirit of R.

Dear all, I am working with a list of objects each of which contains two POSIXct objects (say, $Start and $End) and a number of different data in addition to that. Now an easy way to extract Start times of all object could be sapply(x, "[", "Start") but this converts them all to numeric, and so does sapply(x, "[[", "Start"). lapply preserves the class but

Dear all, I sometimes use the following function: Curry <- function(FUN,...) { # by Byron Ellis, https://stat.ethz.ch/pipermail/r-devel/2007-November/047318.html .orig <- list(...) function(...) do.call(FUN,c(.orig,list(...))) } ... and have thought it might be convenient to have a method for [ doing this. As a simple example, > apply(M, 1, mean[trim=0.1]) # hypothetical

Hello all I would like to ask your help use mapply. I have a function called findCell that takes two arguments(x,sr) where x is a vector of size two (e.g x<-c(2,3) and sr is a matrix. I would like to call many times the findCell function (thus I need mapply) for different x inputs but always for the same sr. as x is a vector of size two (two cells) I want to pass inside inside the following

Friends. I cannot simplify this much, and I think the loop is unavoidable. As a recovering C programmer I want to avoid loops and in cases like this I almost allways can by using an apply function. But I suspect in this case there is nothing I can do. It is a finance example where a price series is compared to a moving average. If the price goes above the average, plus a bit, buy the

Suppose X is a long vector of integers (typically about 30000 elements). Is there an efficient way to detect whether there are at least N consecutive zeros in X, and if yes, where does this occur? for example, suppose X is: 1 2 3 4 5 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 3 4 2 0 1 2 0 0 0 2 2 2 2 2 ... and N is 10. I would like a foo(X, 10) to return something like c(6,19) (start and end positions in X

Dear all, I hope this is a right place to post this; r-help might be appropriate but it looks like I'm suggesting a change in base package, so I decided to post here. (+ Apologies if that has been changed recently -- the version I'm using is R.2.12.2 on Windows.) I've noticed an unexpected behavior of trunc.POSIXt: foo <- seq(as.POSIXct( "2009-10-23 22:00:00"),

Dear all, While buildign a package (R 2.15.2 on windows XP) I had three warnings/notes -- I would be grateful for any hints on what to do. 1. The first one is probably not really important if I'm not missing something: cygwin warning: MS-DOS style path detected: C:/x/y/z/package_1.0.tar.gz Preferred POSIX equivalent is: /cygdrive/c/x/y/z/package_1.0.tar.gz CYGWIN environment variable
