I have found Sweave() to be great for producing PDF documents. I have been experimenting with RweaveHTML (from the R2HTML) package and have had moderate success. My main issue has been that I simply want the R output to be shown verbatim in the HTML document but RweaveHTML tends to convert most output to a table, for example. So, is there a way to force the RweaveHTML driver to simply provide

Dear R Users, Are there any documents on the usage of apply, tapply, sapply so that I avoid explicit loops. I found that these three functions were quite hard to be understood. Thank you in advance. -- Jin

Dear all What is the easy way to drop a variable by using its name (and not its number)? Example: > data(iris) > head(iris) Sepal.Length Sepal.Width Petal.Length Petal.Width Species 1 5.1 3.5 1.4 0.2 setosa 2 4.9 3.0 1.4 0.2 setosa 3 4.7 3.2 1.3 0.2 setosa 4 4.6 3.1

Hi there: I have a question about generating mean value of a data.frame. Take iris data for example, if I have a data.frame looking like the following: --------------------- Sepal.Length Sepal.Width Petal.Length Petal.Width Species 1 5.1 3.5 1.4 0.2 setosa 2 4.9 3.0 1.4 0.2

Dear R-help, First I apologize if my question is quite simple. I need add some of data in the first place my dataset, how can I do that. I have tried with rbind, but I did not succes. 0.1 3.6 0.4 0.9 rose 4.1 4.0 1.2 1.2 rose 4.4 3.2 1.9 0.5 rose 4.6 1.1 1.1 0.2 rose For example,

Hi, [I sent this to the plyr mailing list (late) last night, but it seems to be lost in the moderation queue, so here's a shot to the broadeR community] Apologies in advance for being more verbose than necessary, but I'm not even sure how to ask this question in the context of plyr, so ... here goes. As meaningless as this might be to do with the `iris` data, the spirit of it is what

I've just tried to merge 2 data sets thinking they would only keep the common columns, but noticed the column count was not adding up. I've then replicated a simple example and got the same thing happening. q1. why doesn't 'b' have a column name? q2. when I merge, why does the new column 'y' have all values as 5.1? Thanks in advance, Mr. confused > a <-

Hopefully I will not be flamed for this on the list, but I am starting out with R and having some trouble with combining plots. I am playing with the famous iris dataset (checking out example dataset in R while reading through Introduction to datamining) What I would like to do is create three graphs (combined boxplots) besides each other for each of the three species (Setosa, Versicolour and

Hi R People: Several of you pointed out that using "tapply" on a data frame will work on the iris data frame. I'm still having a problem. The iris data frame has 150 rows, 5 variables. The first 4 are numeric, while the last is a factor, which has the Species names. I can use tapply for 1 variable at a time: >tapply(iris[,1],iris[,5],mean) setosa versicolor virginica

Hi folk, I tried this and it works just perfectly tapply(iris[,1],iris[5],mean) but, how to obtain a single table from multiple variables? In tapply x is an atomic object so this code doesn't work tapply(iris[,1:4],iris[5],mean) Thanx and great summer holidays Gianandrea -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/multiple-tapply-tp18868063p18868063.html Sent from the R help

Greetings R experts, I'm having some difficulty recovering lda objects that I've saved within sublists using the save.image() function. I am running a script that exports a variety of different information as a list, included within that list is an lda object. I then take that list and create a list of that with all the different replications I've run. Unfortunately I've been

Dear all When using Sweave, I'm always hitting the same bump: I want to group repetitive calls in a function, but I want both the results and the function calls in the printed output. Let me explain myself. Consider the following computation in an Sweave document: summary(iris[,1:2]) cor(iris[,1:2]) When using these two calls directly, I obtain the following output: > summary(iris[,1:2])

Dear all It is difficult to use round(..., digits=2) on a data frame since one has to first take care to remove non-numeric variables such as 'character' or 'factor': > head(round(iris, 2)) Error in Math.data.frame(list(Sepal.Length = c(5.1, 4.9, 4.7, 4.6, 5, : non-numeric variable in data frame: Species > head(round(iris[1:4], 2)) Sepal.Length Sepal.Width Petal.Length

I have a dataset and I wish to use two different models to predict. Both models are SVM. The reason for two different models is based on the sex of the observation. I wish to be able to make predictions and have the results be in the same order as my original dataset. To illustrate I will use iris: # Take Iris and create a dataframe of just two Species, setosa and versicolor, shuffle them

Dear all I have a simple problem which I thought is easy to solve but what I tried did not work. I want to change character variables to factor in data frame. It goes easily from factor to character, but I am stuck in how to do backwards conversion. Here is an example irisf<-iris irisf[,2]<-factor(irisf[,2]) # create second factor str(irisf) 'data.frame': 150 obs. of 5

Hi, I was wondering if it is possible to get the rowindices without using the function "which" because I don't have a restriction criteria. Here's an example of what I mean: # take 10 randomly selected instances iris[sample(1:nrow(iris), 10),] # output Sepal.Length Sepal.Width Petal.Length Petal.Width Species 76 6.6 3.0 4.4 1.4

Dear all, How can I obtain the union of a list of logical values? Consider the following: x <- head(iris) x[,c(2,4)] <- NA x[c(2,4),] <- NA # > x # Sepal.Length Sepal.Width Petal.Length Petal.Width Species # 1 5.1 NA 1.4 NA setosa # 2 NA NA NA NA <NA> # 3 4.7 NA 1.3

Dear all, How should I add several variables to a data frame without losing the attributes of the df? Consider the following: > require(Hmisc) > Xa <- iris > label(Xa, self=T) <- "Some df label" > str(Xa) 'data.frame': 150 obs. of 5 variables: $ Sepal.Length: num 5.1 4.9 4.7 4.6 5 5.4 4.6 5 4.4 4.9 ... $ Sepal.Width : num 3.5 3 3.2 3.1 3.6 3.9 3.4 3.4 2.9

Dear all, I have a problem with the function read.xls from the gdata package, error message see below. Two examples: First, I try to read my data, which does not work; Secondly, I tried the example code/data with the Iris data, which worked Any idea?

I use by() to generate a summary statistics like so: Lbys <- by(dat[Nidx], dat$LipTest, summary) where Nidx is an index vector with names picking out the columns in the data frame dat. This returns a list of character arrays (see below for str() output) where the columns are named correctly but the rownames are empty strings and the values are strings prepended with the summary
