Hi, I'm trying to use read.fwf temp = read.fwf ("Raw data.txt", widths = c (11, 21, 10, rep (16, 6)) ,skip = 2, n = 2, stringsAsFactors = FALSE, strip.white = TRUE) but no matter what I do the strings are turned into factors. I believe it's the "n=2" parameter that causes the problem as it seems to work without this. Am I missing something? Thanks in advance,

Hi I'm having a problem using the zoo library and I can't see what I'm doing wrong. For example setting up the data > t1 = zoo (matrix (1:12, nrow = 3), order.by = as.Date (c("2008-08-01","2008-08-02","2008-08-03"))) > colnames (t1) = c ("A", "B", "C", "D") > t2 = zoo (matrix (1:12, nrow = 3), order.by =

Gabor As someone trying to the rest of my team using Subversion (which I have used for a while, but more as a backup / record of changes), have you a neat / automated way of building a package from a subversion repository?

Hi All, I've been fiddling around with various ways to estimate the popularity of R, SAS, SPSS, Stata, JMP, Minitab, Statistica, Systat, BMDP, S-PLUS, R-PLUS and Revolution R. It's not an easy task. You can see what I've come up with so far at http://r4stats.com/popularity . I'm sure people will have plenty of ideas on how to improve this, so please let me know what you think.

Hi all, I have two questions. Can some one give some help? The first question is regarding the pair of operators "&" and "&&". What is the difference between the two? The second question is regarding "<-" and "=". Usually we use "<-" as the assignment operator. I saw some people use "=". Is there any

Hi, Using the Rconsole file I can specify the size and location of the Rgui windows on NT. e.g. # Dimensions (in characters) of the console. rows = 51 columns = 100 How can I specify the size of the help windows that popups when I ask for help? e.g. '?help' I would like the popup window to have say rows = 51 and columns = 100, just like the main window but a different location on the

I am not able to run Dickey-Fuller test. adf.test() function is not working. It is showing 'Error: could not find function "adf.test" Can any tell how to call "time series" library? -- Siddharth Arun, 4th Year Undergraduate student Industrial Engineering and Management, IIT Kharagpur [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Dear readers, There is a combination of keys that I have (on several occasions now) typed by accident into R (2.10.0) which removes all the objects in the environment, and clears the console, as though I had typed rm(list=ls()). Unfortunately I don't know what the combination of keys are, so I am struggling to find out more about this behaviour on my own and I was hoping that someone has

How we can call auto.arima in R. Is there any cran package we need to install for this function? -- Siddharth Arun, 4th Year Undergraduate student Industrial Engineering and Management, IIT Kharagpur [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

I was using tagPOS function from openNLP package for parts-of-speach. Now the package is updated and the function is not present. Any suggestions how to do it now ? Thanks for your help. -- Regards, Siddharth Arun, Contact No. - +91 8880065278 [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

I am using auto.arima() for forecasting.When I am using any in built data such as "AirPassangers" it is capturing seasonality. But, If I am entering data in any other format(in vector form or from an excel sheet) it is not detecting seasonality. Is there any specific format in which it detects seasonality or I am doing some thing wrong? Does data have to be entered in a specific

Dear all, Does anyone have any idea on how to speed up the for() loop below. Currently it takes approximately 2 minutes and 30 seconds. Because of the size of Nsim and N, simulating a multivariate normal (instead of simulating Nsim times a vector of N normal distributions) would require too much memory space.

Hi, Given a function fun <- function(a, b) a + b how do I generate the function 'function(x, y) x + y'? Working from the help files and Bill Venables' R-news article (June 2002), I have tried various permutations with substitute without success. e.g. do.call("substitute", list(fun, list(a = as.name("x"), b = as.name("y")))) Regards, John.

I am using AUTO ARIMA for forecasting. But it is not detecting 'seasonality term' of its own for any data. Is there any other method by which we can detect seasonality and its frequency for any data? Is there any method through which seasonality and its frequency can be automatically detected from ACF plot? -- Siddharth Arun, 4th Year Undergraduate student Industrial Engineering and

Hi, I have a basic question about aligning date labels for the x-axis in an xyplot so that they align with the grid lines from the panel.grid argument. For example, with x <- data.frame( date = seq(as.Date("2005/01/01"), as.Date("2006/06/01"), length.out = 20), value = runif(20)) xyplot(value ~ date, data = x, panel = function(x, y, subscripts, ...) {

Hi, I am probably making a simple mistake but I can't see it > X Error: Object "X" not found > exists("X") [1] FALSE > lapply("X", exists) [[1]] [1] TRUE Why is lapply producing true? Is it something to do with the first argument of lapply also being called 'X'? > version _ platform i386-pc-mingw32 arch i386

Here's one not-so-straightforward way: > f <- function(a, b) a + b > flist <- as.list(f) > names(flist)[1:2] <- c("x", "y") > flist[[3]] <- do.call("substitute", list(body(f), list(a=as.name("x"), b=as.name("y")))) > g <- as.function(flist) > g function (x, y) x + y HTH, Andy > From: john.gavin at ubs.com

Hi, I want to call R from within Java, using jri as per http://www.rosuda.org/software/jri/ So I am following the instructions in the README file for JRI 0.2-4. I have run 'sh configure.win' and 'make' and they seemed to be successful. (See below for the output from make, for example.) But when I try 'run.bat rtest' (with and without R command line arguments) the output

1. I have a R program in a file say "functions.R". I load the "functions.R" file the R using source("function.R") and then call functionsf1(), f2() etc. which are declared and defined within "function.R" file. I also need to load a couple of R libraries using library() before I can use f1(), f2() etc. My question is can I acheive all this (i.e. calling

Hi, I would like to use Sweave to document a long function. Is it possible to split the function's code into chunks such that Sweave will accept each chunk without complaining. I have tried various approaches without sucess but I feel sure that someone has done this already. Here is one attempt ============== % First, define the funciton header <<defFunHdr, eval=FALSE>>= x <-
