...y I learn heaps from reading the posts here so please don't ruin my delusion too much if my output violates all principles of good statistics. OTOH if you can suggest other cool looking graphs please feel free. The more difficult to pronounce the names are, the better :-) The data set is (efficiency is the low end of its bin): method efficiency count source fly 95 0 bb fly 90 0 bb fly 85 2 bb fly 80 8 bb fly 75 13 bb fly 70 8 bb fly 65 3 bb fly 60 0 bb fly 55 0 bb batch 95 0 bb batch 90 0 bb batch 85 4 bb batch 80 3 bb batch 75 15 bb batch 70 10 bb batch 65 6 bb batch 60 7 bb batch 55 1 bb A...

Guys, we (Eaton) have created a new data to expose efficiency of the UPS (basically it is the ratio of the output current on the input current). I know that at least APC should also provide it on some units, since I've seen evidence in an EPA presentation [1]. So I'd like to create the following new data: - Name: ups.efficiency - Description: Effici...

What is the most efficient alternative to x[order(x)][1:n] where length(x)>>n? I also need the positions of the mins/maxs perhaps by preserving names. Thanks for any suggestions. -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Largest-N-Values-Efficiently--tf4788033.html#a13697535 Sent from the R help mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

Hi all I'm trying to use the 'by' function to extract the co-efficients from a mixed model which is performed on multiple individuals. I basically have a group of individuals and for each individual I want the co-efficient for there change in 'pots_hauled' in response to a change in 'vpue' with my random variable being 'ns_a_vpue'. The problem I am having is

Hi, I am trying to find out the scale efficiency and optimal scale of banks by stochastic frontier analysis given the panel data of bank. I am free to choose any model of stochastic frontier analysis. The only approach I know to work with R is to estimate a translog production function by sfa or other related function in frontier package, and...

Hi list users, Is there a comparison somewhere of the efficiency of decoding flac files, with respect to some benchmark related to cpu processing? As compared to, say, ape files? I ask because I have recently switched my entire archive from ape to flac. I have an old 400 mhz laptop in my office running xubuntu, which I run into a receiver. Works great. Since...

Hi all, I'm to inexperienced to come up with the matrix solution elusively appearing on the horizon for the following problem and would appreciate if you could give me a nudge ... I have two vectors a, and b and need to find the closest match for each value of a in b. How to do that efficiently? Thanks, Joh

Hi, I am looking for two ways to speed up my computations: 1. Is there a function that efficiently computes the 'sandwich product' of three matrices, say, ZPZ' 2. Is there a function that efficiently computes the determinant of a positive definite symmetric matrix? Thanks, S.A. [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Hello, What is the most efficient way to update some content of document with new info gathered later after it's first indexed? For example I first index a lot of documents text (lets say it's mailbox), and after all documents are indexed I determine each document uniqued ID (which I wasn't able to determine on initial indexing) and I want update all documents with this ID. As I

Hi guys, We are using syslinux (memdisk) and gpxe already for a while. Also got a working winpe boot method by means of pxe. Which basicly is a dd of an 'recovery partition' where winpe.wim is on. That method isn't really the most efficient way, cause its loaded into memory twice. We are going to do a major windows 7 deployment soon and i'm looking for the most efficient way of

Dear R users... I made the R-code for this double summation computation http://www.nabble.com/file/p19213599/doublesum.jpg ------------------------------------------------- Here is my code.. sum(sapply(1:m, function(k){sum(sapply(1:m, function(j){x[k]*x[j]*dnorm((mu[j]+mu[k])/sqrt(sig[k]+sig[j]))/sqrt(sig[k]+sig[j])}))})) ------------------------------------------------- In fact, this is

I have a data frame with three columns, x, y, and a. I want to create a matrix from these values such that for matrix m: m[x,y] == a Obviously, I can go row by row through the data frame and insert the value a at the correct x,y location in the matrix. I can make that slightly more efficient (perhaps), by doing something like this: > for (each.x in unique(df$x)) m[each.x, df$y[df$x ==

Hi All, I want to do something along the lines of: for (i in 1:n){ for (j in 1:n){ A[i,j]<-myfunc(x[i], x[j]) } } The question is what would be the most efficient way of doing this. Would using functions such as sapply be more efficient that using a for loop? Note that n can be a few thousand. Thus atleast a 1000x1000 matrix. Thanks, Sachin [[alternative HTML version

I am pretty new to R. So this may be an easy question for most of you. ? I would like to calculate the squared distances of a large set (let's say 20000) of vectors (let's say dimension of 5) to a fixed vector. ? Say I have a data frame MY_VECTORS with 20000 rows and 5 columns, and one 5x1 vector y. I would like to efficiently calculate the squared distances?between each of the 20000

I.e. groonga's expr.c needs 4m to build on my laptop, a 2.7GHz i7. That doesn't sound reasonable for a -O2. Unlike the GVN issue, the cases I have run into do finish after a(n unreasonable) while, so at least it is not trivially superlinear. Joerg

Hi folks, I am having a question about efficiently finding the integrals of a list of functions. To be specific, here is a simple example showing my question. Suppose we have a function f defined by f<-function(x,y,z) c(x,y^2,z^3) Thus, f is actually corresponding to three uni-dimensional functions f_1(x)=x, f_2(y)=y^2 and f_3(z)=z^3. What I am looking for are the integrals of these three

It is a simple problem in that I simply want to convert the For loop to a more efficient method. It simply loops through a large vector checking if the numeric element is not equal to the index of that element. The following example demonstrates a simplified example: > rows <- 10 > collusionM <- Matrix(0,10,10,sparse=TRUE) > matchM <- matrix(c(1,2,3,4,4,6,7,9,9,10)) > >

Greetings. For R gurus this may be a no brainer, but I could not find pointers to efficient computation of this beast in past help files. Background - I wish to implement a Cramer-von Mises type test statistic which involves double sums of max(X_i,Y_j) where X and Y are vectors of differing length. I am currently using ifelse pointwise in a vector, but have a nagging suspicion that there is a

Hi all, I have this list of strings [1] "1 ,2 ,3" "4 ,5 ,6" Is there an efficient way to convert it to data.frame: V1 V2 V3 1 1 2 3 2 4 5 6 Like I can use strsplit to get to a list of split strings.. and then use say a = strsplit(mylist, ",") data.frame(V1 = lapply(a, function(x){x[1]}), V2 = lapply(a, function(x){x[2]}),.....) but i'm

Hello, I'm looking for an efficient function for calculating partial correlations. I'm currently using the pcor.test () function, which is equivalent to the cor.test() function, and can receive only single vectors as input. I'm looking for something which is equivalent to the cor() function, and can receive matrixes as input (which should make the calculations much more efficient).
