Dear all, i have a programming problem that should be simple, though i am stuck with it. Please note that this is not a specific geonames problem, though i use it as an example - it´s just a basic problem with lapply. I use the geonames webservices with the R geonames packages which works almost smoothly. I have a vector of Zipcodes and i want to do a geonames lookup for all of them, which should not be a problem. Of course i co...

...to make sure it gets loaded. I did this in environment.rb: config.load_paths += %W( #{RAILS_ROOT}/vendor/rails/activeresource/lib ) Unfortunately I still can''t use it. I have an ActiveResource derived model, Address: class Address < ActiveResource::Base self.site = "http://ws.geonames.org/findNearestAddress?lat=:lat&lng=:long" end When I try to use it, I get the trace below. Any ideas? Help very much appreciated. Loading development environment. >> my_address = Address.new NameError: uninitialized constant ActiveResource from ./script/../config/../co...

Howdy, I had an application perfect for ActiveResource, which I do realize is not finished. Anyway, I froze my app to edge and then defined a class: class Address < ActiveResource::Base self.site = "http://ws.geonames.org/findNearestAddress?lat=:lat&lng=:long" End I tried to use it from the console but I get the trace below. It appears it can''t ''see'' ActiveResource. What am I doing wrong? Thanks, Hunter >> @location.address NameError: uninitialized constant Active...

Hi - Many organizations now make their data available as XML via a REST web service architecture. Is there any R package or facility to access this type of data directly (eg, to make the HTTP GET request and have the downloaded data put into an R data frame)? I used several R search sites to look for an answer, but came up with very little. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks very much. Gary

Hi all, I''m using ferret 11.4 together with acts_as_ferret and I''ve indexed the geonames.org country files. These files contain worldwide locations in UTF-8 with all their different spellings each. Model definition is like this: class location acts_as_ferret :fields => {:location_names => {}}, :single_index => true ... end The instance method location_names returns a...

In response to an earlier discussion about finding the fastest/best/nearest CRAN site, I geocoded (using my geonames package) the locations of the CRAN sites returned by getCRANmirrors. I've mapped them here: http://www.maths.lancs.ac.uk/~rowlings/R/Cranography/ The geocoding may have got it wrong, so if CRAN site maintainers want to send me a real lat-long (in WGS 84 aka EPSG:4326) I'll update my map...

I'm writing a program that will tell me whether I should wear a coat, so I'd like to be able to download daily weather forecasts and daily reports of recent past weather conditions. The NOAA has very promising tabular forecasts (http://forecast.weather.gov/MapClick.php?CityName=Ithaca&state=NY&site=BGM&textField1=42.4422&textField2=-76.5002&e=0&FcstType=digital),

I''ve installed ferret 0.10.9 together with the latest acts_as_ferret using Windows XP and indexed a location database (geonames.org) with Location.rebuild_index. The data is in utf-8. Now calling Location.find_by_contents "?" does not return a result, causes a lot of CPU load, and finally exits with an error "index.rb:702: in ''parse'': failed to allocate memory (NoMemoryError)". Seems...

I need a country, state, city database for a web application. Anyone have a free version they can email (or drop.io) for me? Looking for something like this at $197 but may as well ask in case you know of a free source. http://www.globixdata.com/pop.cfm?db=world&v1=l&v2=s&v3=a&pricing=99 Regards, Dean Collins Cognation Inc dean at cognation.net

Hi, The following code, from Angelo Canty article on line "Resampling Methods in R: the boot Package, 2002", works fine for Angelo Canty using R 2.6.0 on Windows XP. It also works for me using R 1.2.1 and S-PLUS 2000 on Windows XP after installing the S-PLUS bootstrap library, with slight differences in my outputs. > library(boot) > library(survival) >

Hola a todos, Tengo un fichero CSV que se genera desde una aplicación, y que me gustaría importar en R. El problema es que el fichero es "genérico", por lo que en un principio no se muy bien el tipo de datos que me voy a encontrar. Desde R se los mostraré al usuario para que decida sobre qué campos quiere hacer qué análisis. Por tanto, en el propio CSV debería contener (en la cabecera,
