Hi all, In short: I'm running ddply on an admittedly (somehow) large data.frame (not that large). It runs fine until it finishes and gets to the "collating" part where all subsets of my data.frame have been summarized and they are being reassembled into the final summary data.frame (sorry, don't know the correct plyr terminology). During collation, my R workspace RAM usage goes

Hi, I have many files containing one column of data. I like to use the scan function to parse the data. Next I like to bind to a large vector. I try this like: count<-1 files <- list.files() # all files in the working directory for(i in files) { tmp <- scan(i) assign(files[count], tmp) count<-count+1 } This part works! Now I like to plot the data in a boxplot.

# plyr plyr is a set of tools for a common set of problems: you need to __split__ up a big data structure into homogeneous pieces, __apply__ a function to each piece and then __combine__ all the results back together. For example, you might want to: * fit the same model each patient subsets of a data frame * quickly calculate summary statistics for each group * perform group-wise

plyr is a set of tools that solves a common set of problems: you need to break a big problem down into manageable pieces, operate on each pieces and then put all the pieces back together. It's already possible to do this with split and the apply functions, but plyr just makes it all a bit easier with: * consistent names, arguments and outputs * input from and output to data.frames,

Hi All. I often find myself in this situation: . Based on some vector (or list) of values, I need to calculate a few new values for each of them, where some of the new values are numbers, but some are more of descriptive nature (so: character strings) . So I use e.g. sapply, passing a custom function that returns a list with all the calculated values . The result of
