Is there a reason that 'which.min' and 'which.max' don't have an 'arr.ind' argument? The context in which I wanted that was a grid search optimization, which seems like it would be reasonably common to me. -- Patrick Burns pburns at pburns.seanet.com http://www.burns-stat.com (home of 'Some hints for the R beginner' and 'The R Inferno')

...' argument in 'is.unsorted'. And I'm cheekily hoping someone else will implement it. It is easy enough to work around (with 'rev'), but would be less hassle with an argument.

I'm interested in using a data frame as if it were a hash table.

Patrick, Thanks. I tried colnames, but it doesn't work. Seems more transformation is needed. But now I got names, that's good enough. Best.

Hi All, I've been fiddling around with various ways to estimate the popularity of R, SAS, SPSS, Stata, JMP, Minitab, Statistica, Systat, BMDP, S-PLUS, R-PLUS and Revolution R. It's not an easy task. You can see what I've come up with so far at http://r4stats.com/popularity . I'm sure people will have plenty of ideas on how to improve this, so please let me know what you think.

Can anyone please tell whether there is any R function to act as "VEC" and "VECH" operator on Matrix? Yes of course, I can write a user-defined-function for that or else, I can put dim(mat) <- NULL.

Hello, I am working with a dataset with three variables and one binomial parameter. The glm function provides coefficients for these three variables, e.g. -1.5 | 27.2 | -2.9 If I'm not mistaken, $fitted.values gives me an estimate of how likely my parameter is to be true/1 . I would like to apply these coefficients on other variables to predict the binomial parameter but I'm not sure how

Hi, I'm trying to set up R to run a simulation of two populations in which every 3.5 days, the initial value of one of the populations is reset to 1.5.
