Hi there, I think I'm struggling with a fairly simple problem but can't seem to solve it. I have multiple observations for one unique identifier. Ultimately I want to end up with one line per identifier with multiple observations in rows. I'm really stuck any help would be really appreciated.

Dear R users, I have two data frames that were read from text files as follows: x_data <- read.table("x.txt", header = TRUE, sep = "|", quote = "\"'", dec = ".",as.is = TRUE,na.strings = "NA",colClasses = NA, nrows = 3864284, skip = 0, check.names = TRUE,fill=TRUE, strip.white = TRUE,

Dear R help, I have the following data frame: structure(list(prochi = c("ind_1", "ind_1", "ind_1", "ind_1", "ind_1", "ind_1", "ind_1", "ind_1", "ind_1", "ind_1"), date_1st_event = structure(c(14784, 14784, 14784, 14784, 14784, 14784, 14784, 14784, 14784, 14784 ), class = "Date"),

Hi everyone, I would like to subset a data.frame using partial values. For example I have the following data.frame: PROCHI Main_condition 1234 411 1235 4110 1236 4111 1237 I20 1238 I201 1239 I202 Now let's say that I use the Subset function. Ordinarily I would use it as follows Subset(x, Main_condition=="411"|Main_condition=="4110" etc to get

Hi everyone, I have another fairly simple question. I want to take the earliest of two dates from these two date columns. I've tried converting the dates to numbers and just get a vector full of NA's. I've also tried using the chron function to compare the two and have been unsuccessful. I then tried to use:temp.2 <- as.POSIXct(strptime(temp, '%d/%m/%Y')) where temp is

Hi Everyone, I have the following problem: data <- structure(list(prochi = c("IND1", "IND1", "IND1", "IND2", "IND2", "IND2", "IND2", "IND3", "IND4", "IND5"), date_admission = structure(c(6468, 6470, 7063, 9981, 9983, 14186, 14372, 5129, 9767, 11168), class = "Date")), .Names =

Hi, I have two dataframes that have some common columns. I would like to join them by the common columns prochi and prescribed_date as there are duplicate prochis but they will be made unique by date. I tried doing an inner join but that just duplicated the columns whereas I would like the information from the test_sql_tsf to fill the NAs in the test_sql_psd common columns. require(sqldf)

Hi All, I have a character data.frame that contains character columns and date columns. I've manage to convert some of my character columns to a date format using as.Date(x, format="%m/%d/%y"). An example of one of my dates is PROCHI DtDeath icdcucd date_admission1 date_admission_2 CAO0004563 <NA> <NA> 2005-09-01 <NA> CAO0073505

Dear R users, I've installed Rserve for R version 2.11.0 on x64 Windows 7. I've added the Rserve_d and Rserve files to the /bin/ folder where the R.exe is installed in the program files. I have also created an Rserv.cfg file that contains the following text: remote enable auth disable plaintext disable fileio enable when I run "R CMD Rserve_d" from the dos prompt I

Hi, I have a problem with function match. I might not be using it properly? I have two character vectors that contain a unique identifier: gtype_prochi <- ("CAO1524452" "CAO0966182" "CAO9209719" "CAO4436178" "CAO3761898" "CAO3529266" "CAO2427148" "CAO8829776" "CAO2517174" "CAO5371418"

Hi, I've been trying to use the impute2mach function in the GenABEL library. I unfortunately cannot make a working example as when I scale down the files I no longer get an error message. The error message that I get on the full file is: Error in checkSlotAssignment(object, name, value) : assignment of an object of class "NULL" is not valid for slot "data" in an
