I have not devoted time to setting up ROracle since binaries are not available and it seems to require some effort to compile (see http://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/ROracle/index.html).

A few questions about maps... (1) How can I find a listing of the internal data sets that map() from the maps library contains? For example, "usa", "county", "state", "nz" all work.

Dear R community, I find R fantastic and use R whenever I can for my data analytic needs. Certain data sets, however, are so large that other tools seem to be needed to pre-process data such that it can be brought into R for further analysis. Questions I have for the many expert contributors on this list are: 1. How do others handle situations of large data sets (gigabytes, terabytes)

Hello, I have read through the manuals and can't seem to find an answer. I have a categorical, character variable that has hundreds of values. I want to group the existing values of this variable into a new, derived (categorical) variable by applying conditions to the values in the data. For example, suppose I have a data frame with variables: date, country, x, y, and z. x,y,z are

Hive <http://hadoop.apache.org/hive/> is a data warehouse infrastructure built on top of Hadoop that provides tools to enable easy data summarization, adhoc querying and analysis of large datasets data stored in Hadoop files. It provides a mechanism to put structure on this data and it also provides a simple query language called QL which is based on SQL and which enables users familiar with

Has anyone had success with producing legends to a qplot graph such that the legend is placed on the bottom, under the abcissa rather than to the right hand side ? The following doesn't move the legend: library(ggplot2) qplot(mpg, wt, data=mtcars, colour=cyl, gpar(legend.position="bottom") ) I am using ggplot2_0.8.2. Thanks in advance, Avram
