Hi I want to extract columns from a data frame using a vector with the desired column names. This short example uses the select argument in the subset function to accomplish what I am trying to do. Is there a better solution? #names of desired columns colnames <- c("col1","col3") #my data data <-

Hello, I would like to merge two data frames with partially overlapping column names with an rbind-like operation. For the follow data frames, df1 <- data.frame(a=c("A","A"),b=c("B","B")) df2 <- data.frame(b=c("b","b"),c=c("c","c")) I would like the output frame to be (with NAs where the frames don't

Hi all, I would like to iterate through a list with named elements and access the names within an lapply / sapply call. One way to do this is iterate through the names and index the list with the name. Is there a way to iterate through the list elements themselves and access the element names within in the function? For example, mylist <-

Hi, I would like to extract columns from a dataframe using a vector of desired column names. The following working example uses the select argument in the subset function to accomplish what I am trying to do. Is there a better solution? Thanks. #my data data <- data.frame("col1"=c(1,2,3),"col2"=c("A","B","C"),"col3"=c(4,5,6))

Dear all, I am fitting a glm to count data using poison errors with the log link. My goal is to test for the significance of model terms by calling the anova function on two nested models following the recommendation in Michael Crawley's guide to Statistical Computing. Without going into too much detail, essentially, I have a small overdispersion problem (errors do not fit the poisson

Hi all, I am difficulty with simple layout of plots in the lattice package I have created a series of levelplots and would like to plot them to a single device, but need to reduce the margin areas. This is easily accomplished with par(oma) and par(mar) in the base graphics package but I am having problems finding the equivalent features in the lattice package. Ideally, I would like to reduce
