I''m having some really weird problems with an app I''m writing. Everything is working as expected on my development machine (OSX, Rails 0.14.4) but is cacking out with weird errors on the Textdrive demo site (FreeBSD, Rails 1.0.0). It complains about missing variables, with errors like this: undefined local variable or method `rawcode'' for

I am using "maps". I am running the following code to get this list of all the counties: map('county', plot=FALSE)$names In the output, all counties have first the state listed and then, after a comma, the name of the county. However, county # 2395 (State = south dakota) has no county name. Anyone knows what this county is? Thank you! -- Dimitri Liakhovitski marketfusion...

I'm working with the nationwide county maps data, and trying to remove the internal county boundary lines. The only map() function parameter that I've found that gets me anywhere close to my desired result leaves small white segments on parts of the map. I believe this is due to the low resolution, because when I look at individual states, the lty parameter solves the problem. Does

Dear Rers, is there a way to color counties on a full US map based on a criterion one establishes (i.e., all counties I assign the same number should be the same color)? I explored a bit and looks like the package "maps" might be of help. library(maps) One could get a map of the US: map('usa') One could get countries within...

Dear All: I tried to replicate a case study described by Prof. Harrell in Chapter 7 of his Regression Modeling Strategies book, but failed on using anova.Design to reproduce his table 7.1, Following is the code: rm(list=ls()) library(Hmisc) library(Design) getHdata(counties) counties$older <- counties$age6574 + counties$age75 label(counties$older) <- '% age >= 65, 1990' counties$pdensity <- log10(counties$pop.density+1) label(counties$pdensity) <- 'log 10 of 1992 pop per 1990 miles^2' dd <- datadist(counties) options(datadist='dd...

Hi, I would like to plot a map of US counties using different colors. map() seems to be the function to use, e.g. library(maps); map('usa'); map('county', 'colorado', add=T,fill = T, col=c(1:5)) plots Colorado counties using colours 1 to 5. However, I want each color to represent a certain value - a value to be pick...

I am working with census data. My columns of interest are...

I want to return the top five "PercentOld" by state. But I want the County and the Value. I tried

Quick question. Say I have a geographical database with counties and zip codes where counties have and belong to many zip codes. zip_codes (id, zip_code) counties (id, name) When I create the association table, the Rails way says to do the following: counties_zip_codes (county_id, zip_code_id). However, given that zip_codes.zip_code is itself a candidate ke...

...ic variables for each county of California over 37 years. My dependent variable is square feet of office floor space permitted to be added in a county. Independent variables include for example change in number of office jobs in same county same year (and lagged years). Smaller (less populous) counties have many years in which there were no permits taken out; the largest counties had at least some permitted square footage each year. Among the set of years and places where permits were taken out, smaller counties tend to more permitted square footage per capita. I imagine the relationships are...

R-listers, I'm working on a project where I need to get the lowercase of the county variable in a dataset alike to the example below (only difference is that the full dataset has all the states and counties in the southeast United States). I keep getting this strange error with the lowerize function (which didn't occur the first few times I use the code below), and oddly enough the error doesn't happen with the function CapLeading (which is in the same package). > correlfile[1:3,] sta...

Dear R-users, I have an outcome variable and I'm unsure about how to treat it. Any advice? I have spending data for each county in the state of California (N=58). Each county has been allocated money to spend on any one of the following four categories: A, B, C, and D. Each county may spend the money in any way they see fit. This also means that the county need not spend all the money that

...to analyze with a large data on building permits is to find time series effect of urban policy on buildings as well as cross-sectional effects in any. In 1990 the specialZone urban policy was introduced. I guess that the effects of this specialZone policy would be different from countys. There are counties that do not welcome this specialZone forced to design it. One of the important aims is to find 1) time series effect using Dummy variable, 2) cross-sectional effects using specialZones variable below. The data has items like year(1970-2000), floorSpace, county, specialZones agianst permitting la...
