...by="week")) week # each week starts on a Monday I also have a vector of dates I am interested in, e.g.: july4<-as.Date(c("2010-07-04","2011-07-04")) I would like to flag the weeks in my weekly$week that contain those 2 individual dates. I can only think of a very clumsy way of doing it: myrows<-c(which(weekly$week==weekly$week[weekly$week>july4[1]][1]-7), which(weekly$week==weekly$week[weekly$week>july4[2]][1]-7)) weekly$flag<-0 weekly$flag[myrows]<-1 It's clumsy - because actually, my vector of dates of interest (july4 above) is much longer....

Hi, I am trying to generate all unordered combinations of a set of numbers / characters, and I can only find a (very) clumsy way of doing this using expand.grid. For example, all unordered combinations of the numbers 0, 1, 2 are: 0, 0, 0 0, 0, 1 0, 0, 2 0, 1, 1 0, 1, 2 0, 2, 2 1, 1, 1 1, 1, 2 1, 2, 2 2, 2, 2 (I have not included, for example, 1, 0, 0, since it is equivalent to 0, 0, 1). I have found a way to generate...

...only those dataframes in the list that meet a certain criterion. Specifically, I need to generate a second list which only includes those dataframes whose number of rows is > 1. Could someone suggest how to do this? I have come close to what I need with loops and such, but there must be a less clumsy way... Many thanks, Lara [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

...environment?? (So that somefunction() returns 99). I've tried various uses of eval() and assign() with their keywords in the definition of somefunction and have had no luck at all. I do see that i could define thefunction in some external file and source it inside somefunction, but that seems clumsy. thanks!! James [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Hello all, I need to extract rows and columns from a data frame and put them in a matrix. In some cases, there are no rows in the data frame meeting the selection criteria. For those rows I want to put a row of 0's in the matrix. Here's my clumsy code: tab1.m1 <- matrix(0, nrow=2, ncol=4) tab1.m1[1,] <- ifelse(length(as.matrix(tab1[tab1$comp==the.comp & tab1$schlid==the.schl & tab1$ext.obs==0, 4:7])) > 0, as.matrix(subset(tab1, tab1$comp==the.comp & tab1$schlid==the.schl & tab1$ext.obs==...

...ession hash and it''s beginning to seem to me that this might not be a good idea. Before I add another model to the mess - is there a better way? Do I have to create some table to store the current ''find'' criteria? It seems as though, this would slow me down and be rather clumsy. Any suggestions appreciated Craig

Dear all, I'm looking for a function comparable to switch, to categorize a continuous variable in a few levels. Off course that can be done with a series of ifelse statements, but that looks rather clumsy. I looked at switch, but couldn't figure out how to use it for this. I guess that's not possible, as it only works with characters or integers, not with intervals. Basically, I'm looking for a clean way to do : test <- runif(10,1,100) testFunc <-function(x){ x <- ifelse(test...

Hi, I am new to R and need to read in a file with 19 columns and 7000 rows and make it into a list of 7000 lists with 19 items each. For a simpler case of 10 by 10 table I used x <-scan("file", list(0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0)), perhaps clumsy, but it did the job. However with the large 19x7000 (which needs to be transposed) I am not sure how to go about it. Coudl somebody suggest a way? Thanks, Tomas

...tsize, : unable to start device PNG In addition: Warning message: unable to open connection to X11 display`' I want to have a process running on a server call R to generate graphical output, and the problem is that I'm not guaranteed to have a valid DISPLAY set. I have some clumsy workarounds, but it would be cleaner if if I had some way to have R not require the DISPLAY.

...sed a warning message? last.warning gives me the last warning, but I do not have any indication what the statement was that caused the message. I can of course store last warning before I run a statement and then compare last.warning with this stored message to see if it has changed, but that is a) clumsy b) still does not cover situations when I get the same warning as the last one by coincidence. -- Erich Neuwirth, University of Vienna Faculty of Computer Science Computer Supported Didactics Working Group Visit our SunSITE at http://sunsite.univie.ac.at Phone: +43-1-4277-39464 Fax: +43-1-4277-...

Suppose I have a plot plot(1:10, pch = "") And I want some text to indicate a Normal distrubition. I could do this: text(5, 6, substitute(X~~~~N(mu, sigma^2)), adj = 0) text(5.35, 6, "~", adj = 0) But that's clumsy, and depending on your plotting device, might not even look sensible. I'd prefer to be able to do it more directly and simply the way these do: text(5, 1, expression(X %~~% N(mu, sigma^2)), adj = 0) text(5, 2, expression(X %prop% N(mu, sigma^2)), adj = 0) text(5, 3, expression(X %=~% N(mu, si...

I would like to create a certain number of dataframes out of one dataframe where each of the dataframes is related to a factor. This should be possible with a loop or a function, as is very clumsy to do it manually when there are quite a lot factors. For example having a dataframe called "exmpl": Site Value 1 12 1 15 1 18 1 21 1 12 1 13 2 15 2 12 2 58 2 62 2 22 2 65 2 29 3 21 3 55 3 11 3 98 I would like to create 3 dataframes, where "exmpl_01" equals: 1 12 1 15...

I'm writing a load of output to a file using cat(...), but I can't work out how to turn off scientific notation for small numbers. When I originally tried this a while a go I ended up building up a string variable, which is rather clumsy...

...fit on the screen (especially when there are many columns). Very useful when scanning through a dataset (row & column are conveniently identified by the labels at the side and above). However, there seens to be no option to set it "read-only" on start-up, with the consequence that a clumsy key-press or mouse-click could cause a change in the data which would then be stored after quitting edit.data(). Is there a possibility of a read-only option? Or some other function which could offer similar viewing capability without the risk of data change? With thanks, Ted. ------------------...

...e day the event of interest is counted).   The solution should count only the following events per subject(per the 30-day blackout rule):   ID Date  auto1 1/1/2010  auto2 2/12/2010  auto2 4/21/2011  auto3 3/1/2010  auto3 5/3/2010    I have created a multistep process to do this, but it is extremely clumsy (detailed below).  I have to believe that one of you has a much more elegant solution.  Thank you all in advance for any help!!!!   ##     example data data1 <- structure(list(ID = structure(c(2L, 2L, 2L, 2L, 3L, 3L, 3L, 3L,3L, 4L, 4L, 4L, 4L, 4L), .Label = c("", "auto1", &qu...

...., the row corresponding to the earliest event. So if I had, say, 1000 rows of 100 IDs doing an average of ten events each, I'd run this trimming procedure and end up with a data frame containing 100 rows (one for each ID), where each row record that ID's first event. I can think of slow, clumsy, for-loop ways to trim the data frame, but I'm hopeful that there is some slick "R" way to do it that someone here can help me find. But so deep is my ignorance that I can't even come up with useful search terms to use on Rseek.org (I investigated "merge" but had no luc...

Hello, All: What facilities exist for plots and tables of data in the standard MediaWiki software beyond the obvious standards? The standard MediaWiki tables and graphics capabilities seem to me to be rather clumsy, and I wonder if I'm missing some available extensions? The standard MediaWiki tables are described in a Wikipedia article on "Help:Table".
