Hi, I am getting some strange results using round - it seems that it depends if the number before the decimal point is odd or even .... For example: > round(1.5)[1] 2> round(2.5)[1] 2 While i would expect that round(2.5) be 3 and not 2. Do you have any explanation for that? I really appreciate your input, Monica

Hi everyone, I have a vector of strings, each string made up by different number of words. I want to get a new vector which has only the first word of each string in the first vector. I came up with this: str <- c('aaa bbb', 'cc', 'd eee aa', 'mmm o n') str1 <- rep(1, length(str)) for (i in 1:length(str)) { str1[i] <- strsplit(str, "

Hi, I am doing a very informal presentation for my office about R capabilities to deal with and analyze spatial data, display data and maps, and connections with GIS. I've used in my presentation info from the CRAN, the spatial Task view, and the more striking graphics examples from http://addictedtor.free.fr/graphiques/thumbs.php and NCEAS

Hi everyone, ? I am trying to get a point of intersection between a polyline and a straight line ?.. and get the x and y coordinates of this point. For exemplification consider this: ? ? set.seed(123) ? k1 <-rnorm(100, mean=1.77, sd=3.33) ?k1 <- sort(k1) q1 <- rnorm(100, mean=2.37, sd=0.74) q1 <- sort(q1, decreasing = TRUE) plot(k1, q1, xlim <- c((min(k1)-5),

Hi everybody, I have a vector of characters and i would like to extract certain parts. My vector is named metr_list: [1] "F:/Naval_Live_Oaks/2005/data//BE.tif" [2] "F:/Naval_Live_Oaks/2005/data//CH.tif" [3] "F:/Naval_Live_Oaks/2005/data//CRR.tif" [4] "F:/Naval_Live_Oaks/2005/data//HOME.tif" And i would like to extract BE, CH, CRR, and HOME in a

Hi, I am using an if else statement inside a function ?. If I use that function I have no problems ?. If I use the function with the if else statement inside a second function I get the following waring: Warning message: In if (pval == 0) p_value <- "< 2.2e-16" else p_value <- pval : the condition has length> 1 and only the first element will be used Using the second

Hi list, I have a question about 'plot'. I am trying to plot values registered every month - or every other month. If i build a data.frame called mydata like this (as an example) jan 3 1 7 mar 2 4 2 may 1 3 2 jul 3 7 4 sep 5 2 3 nov 3 1 5 and use the command line: plot(mydata[c(1,3)]) I get a graph that has on the x axis my months in alphabetical

Hi, I am trying to get percentages in a more elegant way. I have a data.frame with locations and values (counts) of species at that location. Each location is repeated for each species i have values for and i would like to get percentages of each species at that location. I am not sure if i am clear in my explanations so i will paste my code below: ##################### > x locat val 1

Hi, I am sure there is a reason but ...... why larger decimal numbers get rounded to the nearest integer? Example: a <- 3308000.5 a [1] 3308001 I would like my numbers to be decimals .... since they do represent coordinates and i don't want them rounded .... how can i keep them as they are? Thanks, Monica _________________________________________________________________

Hello list, I am wondering if a joining "one-to-many" can be done a little bit easier. I tried merge function but I was not able to do it, so I end up using for and if. Suppose you have a table with locations, each location repeated several times, and some attributes at that location. The second table has the same locations, but only once with a different set of attributes. I would

Hi, I have to recognize that i don't fully understand the aggregate function, but i think it should help me with what i want to do. xveg is a data.frame with location, species, and total for the species. Each location is repeated, once for every species present at that location. For each location i want to find out which species has the maximum total ... so i've tried different ways to

Hi everybody, I have to recognize that my post certainly shows my lack of skills in really navigating the R web page .... i am surprised that only one or two persons wrote me about the "Task Views" - it is what i was after - although maybe too general for my lazy taste - but hei - it is there and certainly makes my life easier. So - Thank you John and Gabor and Roger for pointing this

Hi, I would like to use the function "extract" from package raster and i get the following error: m01e <- extract(marsh01, p) Error: could not find function "extract" marsh01 is a raster object and p is an intersectExtent object that is not null. The package is installed and loaded, i use a Windows machine 64 bit and R x64 2.11.0. Do i really need to update my R to use

Hi, I have a set of irregular time series and i want to produce a simple plot, with dates on x axis and attribute value of y axis. This is simple enough but my x axis is divided automatically by ticks every 5 years. I would like to have a tick every year at January 1st. I am not sure how i can do that - i end up with something very close to what i want, but it is clunky and not very correct. I

Hi, I have a graph and I would like to write some values inside the legend that were saved in a variable. Please revise the code below in which I've wrote 2 different legends, but I am not happy with either of them. What I want is a legend with tile "Legend" and underneath a line with a name and a value like that: value = 2. #Code begin: # ------------------- a = 2 # result of a

Hi, I have 4 huge tables on which i want to do a PCA analysis and a kmean clustering. If i run each table individually i have no problems, but if i want to run it in a for loop i exceed the memory alocation after the second table, even if i save the results as a csv table and i clean up all the big objects with rm command. To me it seems that even if i don't have the objects anymore, the

Hi everybody, I would like to apply cor.test to a matrix with m rows and n columns and get the results in a list of matrices , one matrix for p.val, one for the statistic, one for the correlation and 2 for upper and lower confidence intervals, something analog with cor() applied to a matrix. I have done my own function to get a matrix of p.values and i suppose i can build similar functions for

Hi, I want to save a plot automatically as a pdf and jpg, and if I open the pdf device first and jpeg second only the jpeg file saves correctly ?. If I do reverse, only the pdf file saves correctly. pdf('E:/my_graphs/test1.pdf', bg = "white") jpeg('E:/my_graphs/test1.jpg', quality = 100, bg = "white", res = 200, width = 7, height = 7, units = "in")

Hi everybody, I know this might be very off topic and it took me quite a while to up my courage to post this?. But I remember a thread some time ago about how we can find the packages we need to do specific tasks in R if we don?t know before hand which ones actually do it. Now all the packages are listed alphabetically on the web site. Since I am not very advanced in writing my own functions I
