Dear list, I just made a very simple mistake, but it was hard to spot. And I think that I should warn other people, because it is probably so simple to make... === R code === # Let us create a matrix: (a <- cbind(c(0,1,1), rep(1,3))) # [,1] [,2] # [1,] 0 1 # [2,] 1 1 # [3,] 1 1 # That is a MISTAKE: a/colSums(a) # [,1] [,2] # [1,] 0.0000000 0.3333333

Dear all, I would like to ask one question related to statistics, for specifically on defining dummy variables. As of now, I have come across 3 different kind of dummy variables (assuming I am working with Seasonal dummy, and number of season is 4): > dummy1 <- diag(4) > for(i in 1:3) dummy1 <- rbind(dummy1, diag(4)) > dummy1 <- dummy1[,-4] > > dummy2 <- dummy1 >

Hello, I would like to use my own dissimilarity matrix in a PAM clustering with method "pam" (cluster package) instead of a dissimilarity matrix created by daisy. I read data from a file containing the dissimilarity values using "read.csv". This creates a matrix (alternatively: an array or vector) which is not accepted by "pam": A call

Hello R-Users, its again me with a question. I´m using R 2.5.0 on Mac Power Book running Mac OS X 10.4.10 I try to calculate distances betweeen two data tables looking like this V1 V2 V3 V4 V5 V6 V7 V8 V9 V10 V11 V12 V13 V14 V15 V16 V17 V18 V19 V20 V21 V22 V23 V24 V25 V26 V27 V28 V29 V30 V31 V32 V33 V34 V35 V36 1 1 0 0 0 1 1 0 1 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0

Hi, I have this data.frame with two variables in it, > z V1 V2 1 10 8 2 NA 18 3 9 7 4 3 NA 5 NA 10 6 11 12 7 13 9 8 12 11 and a vector of means, > means <- apply(z, 2, function (col) mean(na.omit(col))) > means V1 V2 9.666667 10.714286 My intention was substracting means from z, so instictively I tried > z-means V1 V2 1 0.3333333

Hi everybody! I'm new to this list and also to the R program. I'd like to know if there is a function able to convert results into Fractional form like my scientific calculator have. For example: > 1/3 [1] 0.3333333 > function_that_return_a_fraction_from_numbers(0.3333333) [1] 1/3 Thanks Mauro -- Man, he is constantly growing and when he is bound by a set pattern of ideas

Hi, I'm trying to use a similarity matrix (triangular) as input for pam() or fanny() clustering algorithms. The problem is that this algorithms can only accept a dissimilarity matrix, normally generated by daisy(). However, daisy only accept 'data matrix or dataframe. Dissimilarities will be computed between the rows of x'. Is there any way to say to that your data are already a

Hi, xtabs() creates a table of counts. I want a table of proportions -- that is, I want to divide every vector (along a particular dimension) by its sum. The tiny example below does that. The call to xtabs() creates a matrix "A" with dimensions ("x1","x2","y"). I transform "A" using aperm() and aaply() to get the matrix "B". The

Hi All, I'm trying to do the following constrained optimization example. Maximize x1*(1-x1) + x2*(1-x2) + x3*(1-x3) s.t. x1 + x2 + x3 = 1 x1 >= 0 and x1 <= 1 x2 >= 0 and x2 <= 1 x3 >= 0 and x3 <= 1 which are the constraints. I'm expecting the answer x1=x2=x3 = 1/3. I tried the "constrOptim" function in R and I'm running into some issues. I first start off

Hello everyone I'm trying to use Scheffe's complete cubic model (mixture design). In the bibliographies, they indicate that the term is of the type: A * B * (A-B). But I see that trying to adjust the three cubic terms results in singularities. I know this implies not having the inverse matrix: solve (t (X)% *% X) does not exist. The bibliographies show all three cubic terms. So my

Dear List, I am having trouble with some R code I have written to perform Redundancy Analysis (RDA) on a matrix of species abundance data (Y) and a matrix of environmental data (X). RDA is a constrained form of PCA and can be thought of as a PCA of the fitted values of a regression of each variable in Y on all variables in X. For info, the first use of RDA is in: Rao, C.R, 1964. The use and

With the following example using contr.sum for both factors, > dd <- data.frame(a = gl(3,4), b = gl(4,1,12)) # balanced 2-way > model.matrix(~ a * b, dd, contrasts = list(a="contr.sum", b="contr.sum")) (Intercept) a1 a2 b1 b2 b3 a1:b1 a2:b1 a1:b2 a2:b2 a1:b3 a2:b3 1 1 1 0 1 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 2 1 1 0 0 1 0

Hello All, Once again thanks for all of the help to date. I am climbing my R learning curve. I've got a few more questions that I hope I can get some guidance on though. I am not sure whether the etiquette is to break up multiple questions or not but I'll keep them together here for now as it may help put the questions in context despite the fact that the post may get a little long.

Hello all! I have a problem with ggplot2 library. I want to do an heat map and the y variables are the year months. If I use the following code, he y values are in alphabetical order, but I want it in month order. The code is: library(reshape) library(ggplot2) library(scales) p <- ggplot(data.m, aes(variable, Month)) + geom_tile(aes(fill = value),

Hi all, Using R v2.7.1, platform i386-pc-mingw32 Can someone please shed some light on the behaviour of ifelse() for me? My intent is to calc relative proportions of z$b, at the same time subsetting z$b based on z$a. I could attack the problem other ways (suggestions welcome) but I am also intrigued by the _order_ in which ifelse seems to assign values, and how recycling works. For instance,

Dear all, I have two data frames- x1 and y1 with same row names and column names(actually the names of the patients). x1 a b c d e a 1.0000000 0.4730679 0.6226994 0.6036036 0.6433333 b 0.4730679 1.0000000 0.6227273 0.6303855 0.5730858 c 0.6226994 0.6227273 1.0000000 0.7290503 0.6900585 d 0.6036036 0.6303855 0.7290503 1.0000000

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

Hola: Aplicaré lo que dices de usar data.table. Sobre hacer for, etc. Ya lo he hecho, pero pensaba que usar dplyr haría la tarea más rápida por estar este implementado en C (si no me equivoco). Siempre que puedo utilizo estas funciones, porque codificas menos y van más rápido. En este caso el problema es que no he encontrado la manera de hacer lo que quiero con dplyr o similar. La idea era al

Dear R Helpers I am having difficulty understanding how to use the penalty matrix for the nomROC function in package 'nonbinROC'. The documentation says that the values of the penalty matrix code the penalty function L[i,j] in which 0 <= L[i,j] <= 1 for j > i. It gives an example that if we have an ordered response with 4 categories, then we might wish to penalise larger
