I've just realized that it could be handy to have a 'decreasing' argument in 'is.unsorted'. And I'm cheekily hoping someone else will implement it. It is easy enough to work around (with 'rev'), but would be less hassle with an argument. The case I have in mind uses 'is.unsorted' in 'stopifnot'. Pat -- Patrick Burns pburns at pburns.seanet.com

Hello! I am optimizing my code in R and for this I need to know a bit more about the internals. It would help tremendously if someone could link me to a page with O()-complexities of all the operations. In this particular case, I need something like a linked list with O(1) insertLast/First ability. I can't preallocate a vector since I do not know the final size of the list ahead of time. The

Hi, I'm trying to set up R to run a simulation of two populations in which every 3.5 days, the initial value of one of the populations is reset to 1.5. I'm simulation an experiment we did in which we fed Daphnia populations twice a week with algae, so I want the initial value of the algal population to reset to 1.5 twice a week to simulate that feeding. I've use for loops and if/else

Hello, I am working with a dataset with three variables and one binomial parameter. The glm function provides coefficients for these three variables, e.g. -1.5 | 27.2 | -2.9 If I'm not mistaken, $fitted.values gives me an estimate of how likely my parameter is to be true/1 . I would like to apply these coefficients on other variables to predict the binomial parameter but I'm not sure how

I know that [] is used for indexing. I know that [[]] is used for reference to a property of a COM object. I cannot find any explanation of what [[1]] does or, more pertinently, where it should be used. Thank you. [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Hi, I have limited experience on R and recently started using REXcel. Although I have been able to run both simple functions (like mean etc) and some complex ones (like Principal Component analysis, PCA) using RExcel, I am facing some problems while running EGARCH model. For this I have downloaded the 'betategarch' package for R to run EGARCH with student t dist. Although the package has

Dear all, I would like to ask you if there is a way to define a global variable in R? I am having a bunch of function and I think the easier would be to have a global function defined at some point... Would that be possible? Regards Alex [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Hi, Wondering if anyone could help me out with this error.Im trying to fill a matrix with random numbers taken from an exponential distribution using a loop: x.3<-matrix(rep(0,3000),nrow=1000,byrow=T)for(i in 1:1000){x[i,]<-rexp(3,rate=2/3)} I get the error message: Error in x[i, ] <- rexp(3, rate = 2/3) : incorrect number of subscripts on matrix Any ideas??? Appreciate any thoughts.

Hello, I'm very interested in using financial time series data, but I'm a beginner of R programming. I'd like to fully understand internal logics on several time-series related packages such as quantmod, xts, zoo, chron, etc. So, I read some books, 'R Cookbook' and 'Art of R Programming' and another simple tutorials. But I still can't understand grammars of the

Hi, as i suppose to know in a stationary GARCH(1,1) model the sum of alpha and beta has to be smaller than 1. But if i use the garchfit() function from the package fGarch for my timeseries the sum is bigger than 1. The adf.test tells me a p-value smaller than 0.01 instead. What does this mean for me? Can i trust in the coefficients in this case? mfg user84 -- View this message in context:

Dear all, I am developing a package, which bundles my most frequently used functions. One of those is a modified version of droplevels from the base package (basically, it preserves any contrast function which was used to create the factor, contrast matrices are not kept, for they could be wrong if a level is dropped). In my NAMESPACE file I've the following directives, which should export

Anyone got any hints on how to make this code more efficient? An early version (which to be fair did more than this one is) ran for 330 hours and produced no output.
