Let's suppose I have userids and associated attributes... columns a and b a <- c(1,1,1,2,2,3,3,3,3) b <- c("a","b","c","a","d","a", "b", "e", "f") so a unique list of a would be id <- unique(a) I want a matrix like this... [,1] [,2] [,3] [1,] 3 1 2 [2,] 1 2 1 [3,]

> length(sample(25000, 25000*(1-.55))) [1] 11249 > 25000*(1-.55) [1] 11250 > length(sample(25000, 11250)) [1] 11250 > length(sample(25000, 25000*.45)) [1] 11250 So the question is, why do I get 11249 out of the first command and not 11250? I can't figure this one out. Thanks Cory [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

I'm accessing R via a socket connection. I set up a connection using socketConnection and then use readLines inside of a while(TRUE) loop to listen for activity. Is that the best way of doing this sort of activity? It works, that's not the issue, I am just wondering if there's a better way. Thanks [[alternative HTML version deleted]]
