I follwed the example here: http://dekstop.de/weblog/2005/12/rails_inflector_in_ruby_scripts/ #!/usr/bin/ruby require ''rubygems'' require ''active_support/inflector'' puts Inflector.singularize(''inflections'') I loaded it into irb and wrote a killer script both of which worked perfectly for weeks. Now when I try and run the script or run

I'm a programmer in a biology lab who is starting to use R to automate some of our statistical analysis of growth rate determination. But I'm running into some problems as I re-code. 1) Hypotheses concerning Slope similarity/difference: I'm using R's anova(lm()) methods to analyse a model which looks like this: growth.metric ~ time * test.tube I understand that

Hi It''s me schruthensis = dschruth (sorry for the confusion with my nickname change) Before people go crazy trying to continue to side or oppose with me on this issue... I think I should make it clear that I schruthensis (now dschruth) have solved many of my problems as I stated earlier today in my post. Thus, I''m no lo...

If so, I'd imagine it's a relatively easy one to fix.

Hello, I'm trying to construct an overall summary table from a list of tables. my.list <- list(x=c('a','b','a','b','c'), y=c ('a','d','c','a','b','d'),z=c('d','d','c')) my.table.list <- lapply(my.list, table) normally this might be really easy: master.table <-

Hello, I'm trying to write a function which, among other things, attempts to convert variables of type 'character' into various other classes like 'integer', 'numeric', 'character' & "Date", depending on the class of a second parameter to this same function. Converting from character to Date is no problem with the "as.Date" function:

I noticed that joining two data.frames in R using the "merge" function that using by='row.names' slows things down substantially when compared to just joining on a common index column. Using a dataframe size of ~10,000 rows: it's as slow as 10 minutes in the by='row.names' case versus merely 1 second using an index column. Beyond the 10^6 range, it's unusably

Hello R-help, I'm trying to make a fairly simple plot axis that goes something like this: plot(-10:10,-10:10, yaxt='n') axis(side=2, las=1, hadj=1, tck=-.01, cex.axis=.6) ...but as you can see, the labels are not close enough to the y-axis (where I want them... to save space for publication). Can anybody help me figure out how to move these labels over the the right a bit?
