For years, I used a function in Splus to give me more information than
just the object names which ls() would do. Typically, it would give
something like this:
Object Mode Rows Cols Len Date
1 .Last.value NULL - - 0 20 Mar 13:44
2 last.warning list - - 50 16 Mar 13:58
3 glm.mano function - - 2 16 Mar 13:54
4 gam.mano function - - 2 16 Mar 13:18
5 .Random.seed numeric - - 12 16 Mar 11:57
6 Kyph.glm list - - 19 16 Mar 09:42
7 mano.df dataframe 240 5 5 15 Mar 11:31
8 reorg function - - 2 15 Mar 11:31
9 m793.df dataframe 15 32 32 15 Mar 10:52
10 .First function - - 1 19 Feb 14:22
11 ps.region numeric - - 4 3 May 1996
There are times when the date is very valuable information,
particularly years later. I would like to be able to do something
similar in R but of course, the same method won't work because objects
are not stored as separate unix files in a .Data directory.
I had thought of adding a date with attr() and was then going to redo
the function which could use that information in place of the file
information I used in Splus. Unfortunately, that means the date
attibute is added to everything when displayed which is too cluttered.
Then of course, I'd need to figure an easy (preferably automatic) way
of adding the date to the objects I was interested in. However, I was
hoping someone might already have a better way of achieving the same
end, and preferably without the unnecessary verbiage mentioned above.
Ideas gratefully accepted.
Thanks

Hi there. I am converting some Splus syntax - is there an R equivalent for the 'lag' function, as in: Xi<-lag(X,i) = all the members of X are shifted along by i?

I have a minor glitch in the "sm" contributed package, routine "sm.regression". It's supposed to accept the "ylim" option to set the scale of the plot, but that doesn't appear to be working. I'm using the pre-compiled version for Windows. I haven't tried any of the other versions. It *does* appear to be accepting the "col" option; I can plot the smoothed curve in red. It would be nice if I could get it to take "lwd" as well, and plot the line *after* the points instead of before. What I am doing now is the "sm.regression", then re-plotting the points and the smoothed curve to get the picture I want. -- znmeb at aracnet.com (M.

There isn't an automatic way of doing the date information and I can't think ofa general one that wouldn't be horribly slow. You could add a date-setting function to your most frequnelty used object creation functions (perhaps read.table and glm in my case). -thomas -.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.- r-help mailing list -- Read http://www.ci.tuwien.ac.at/~hornik/R/R-FAQ.html Send "info", "help", or "[un]subscribe" (in the "body", not the subject !)
