Hi all, I am generally quite fond of the unix commandline keystrokes (e.g. searching back in your history with [CTRL]-R, and cutting/pasting with [CTRL]-K/Y) which work in the R commandline in *nix. Does anyone know if there's any way to get similar functionality in the Windows RGUI? I know that as of now, [CTRL]-A and -E do the same as unix (beginning and end of line) and [CTRL]-Y does a

I'm running into some problems with the spacing of some faceted ggplot plots. I have a number of time series faceted to be one above another, but the scale labels of the y axes all clobber each other at the bottom/top of each. for example, try: qplot(x, y, data = data.frame(x = 1:10, y = 1:10, size = 1:10), facets = size ~ ., size = size) + scale_x_continuous(breaks = 1:10) +

according to the documentation of the cast function in the reshape function, I would expect this bit of code from the examples to calculate marginal means over only the 'diet' variable. #Chick weight example names(ChickWeight) <- tolower(names(ChickWeight)) chick_m <- melt(ChickWeight, id=2:4, na.rm=TRUE) cast(chick_m, diet + chick ~ time, mean, margins="diet") But,

Hey all; I'm a beginner++ user of R, trying to use it to do some processing of data sets of over 1M rows, and running into a snafu. imagine that my input is a huge table of transactions, each linked to a specif user id. as I run through the transactions, I need to update a separate table for the users, but I am finding that the traditional ways of doing a table lookup are way too slow to

Dear all, With normal plotting, one can size a set of points in a plot using a vector argument to cex in the points() function. This works whether you are using one of the standard R symbols (i.e. 19+) or some ascii symbol, such as '/' eg: plot(1:10, 1:10, type='n'); points(1:10, 1:10, cex = 1:10, pch = '/') Trying to make the transition to ggplot2, I find that the

hey all, I feel like I must be missing something rather plain, but I don't get it. how is one supposed to use R as a PgSQL client on Windows? Assume my windows desktop is on the same network as a PgSQL server, and I just need to use R to connect and pull down some data. The thing that is confusing me is that RODBC doesn't seem to know anything about PgSQL, in that

Dear princely R developers to whom I owe so much of my daily productivity level, I am wondering how indexing by row and column names are implemented. That is, when I have a matrix with named rows (or columns) and I then index into that matrix using the string names (rather than integers), how does R scan through the list of names in order to figure out which row/column to use? My current

try this: scores.melt = data.frame(grade = floor(runif(100, 1,10)), variable = 'score', value = rnorm(100)); cast(scores.melt, grade ~ variable, fun.aggregate = c(mean, length)) it has the nice column names of: grade score_mean score_length 1 1 0.08788535 8 2 2 0.16720313 15 3 3 0.41046299 7 4 4 0.13928356 13 ... but
