Hello: As someone making the move from STATA to R, I'm finding it difficult at times to perform basic tasks in R, so forgive me if I've missed an obvious and easily obtained solution to my problem. I've searched the help guides and the archives and have not been able to find a solution that works. I have a data frame with thousands of observations that looks something like this:

...'ve been trying to create a vector (state2) that gives all state names as 2-letter abbreviations, using advice given on the thread: http://tolstoy.newcastle.edu.au/R/help/05/09/12136.html However, the code provided there does not work when the original list includes null values and foreign provinces, like "Cusco." I've used an if statement to filter out null values, but names not on the list state.names still cause me to get the error "Error in if (grep(tener$State.Province[i], state.name) > 0) { : argument is of length zero" because grep(tener$State.Province[i...

Hi is there a way in R to create a new column vector with the numbers of 2 others columns simply appended? Example : I have a column with provinces codes (1 to 19) I have a second column with districts codes (1 to ##, depending on the province) I want to create a third column with a code that would be unique for each district: Province  District   District_Unique 1             1            11 1             2            12 13           2      ...

Dear R'ers, I am wondering what is the smallest geographicterritorial unit available for formatting in Canada. Provinces? I know that in the US it is the county so that I can color US counties any way I want, for example: ### Example for coloring US counties ### Creating an ARTIFICIAL criterion for coloring US counties: library(maps) allcounties<-data.frame(county=map('county', plot=FALSE)$names) allcou...

Dear UseRs, I'm using the library maps. I'm drawing maps of Italy. The map available for this library were prepared around *1989*: "This italy database comes from the NUTS III (Tertiary Administrative Units of the European Community) database of the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) GRID-Geneva data sets. These were prepared around *1989*" [cited:

I have an address model with country_id and province_id fields There is also a full_address method that returns an address that is in a format that the google maps api will be able to return a long-lat coords. Within the full_address method there is a call to obtain the province/state and country name. --------- def full_address ... full_address = [city, self.province.name,

*Hello all ** I am a newbie to R plotting maps. I am trying to plot over a world map a layer of Biogeochemical provinces (BGCP) by A.R. Longhurst. Each ocean region unfortunately are quite irregular in shape (not perfect squares). In GIS this layer of ocean provinces would be a layer of polygons, which I am assuming it cannot be plotted with R. I was wondering If anybody has encounter this problem before, to plot a...

Hi, How are you? I have a quick question.... I have code that works perfectly with R desktop, but does not work with RWeb. Could you please tell me how to modify the code below so it will work with RWeb? #Read in txt file happyguys<-read.table("c:/test8.txt", header=TRUE, row.names=1) #Subset the txt file to only include certain values test<-subset(happyguys, GRADE == 7

Hi, I have the following code, a very basic textfield with a submit button: <%= form_tag({:controller => "job", :action => "index"}, :method => ''get'') %> <%= text_field_tag ''province'', @province %> <%= submit_tag "search" %> <%= end_form_tag %> In my routes.rb file I have: map.connect

I have a categorical variable with a nested structure. For example, region: a country is split into parts, which in turn contain provinces, which contain municipalities: Part -> Province -> Municipality North Province A Municipality 1 Municipality 2 Municipality 3 ...

I am having trouble getting data labels to display over the provinces in a GADM map of Canada. Specifically, I need the variable "Number" from the data set "by_province", grouped by "region", to appear on the corresponding regions of the map. The data set "by_province" looks like this: long lat order hole piece...

Hello! I have 2 maps - both created in ssplot and both identical in terms of outline. Is there any way to superimpose Map1 (which has black borders between Canadian provinces) onto Map2 (which is also a map of Canada)? Thanks a lot for your hints! Dimitri ### A. Reading in Canada data at the province and then at the county level: library(raster) getData('ISO3') # Canada's code is "CAN" can1<-getData('GADM', country="CAN", lev...

...ose data set has about 15000 households (the rows/observations) and 130 variables (the columns). I've managed to import the set into R as a data.frame called eu08. Now, I'm trying to look at all of the variables, but limited to one province in the "region" variable. I think the provinces are factors, and the province of interest is labeled '3'. I've tried the following: region3=subset(eu08, region==3) --this simply strips all of the rows from the columns, and I know that about 4000 of the observations are specific to region 3. So does putting the 3 as '3' and...

I''m doing a registration form. I saw many registrations forms which asks you for a country and it lists all the countries of the world, and when you select a country the form is actualized with all the states or provinces, and when you select a state/province then the form is actualized with all the cities. I''m looking to do something like that, is there a free service or pay services that offers such a list (perhaps by tables or by web services) that I can look for? Thank you -------------- next part...

Dear all, I am interested in plotting maps visualizing spatial statistics in an aggregated fashion, according to administrative boundaries. More specifically, I have fitted a cross-section model on data regarding Italian "counties" (province, for Italian readers) and I would like to visualize residual behavior on a map, in order to have a first assessment of their spatial

Dear R-listers, I would like to carry out a very basic descriptive analysis of homicides rates in Italy, taking into account both the spatial dimension (103 provinces) and the temporal dimension (10 years), but no covariates. In practice, what I would like to do is to describe spatio-temporal variation of homicide rates, identifying those combinations of province-year where the homicide rate is either over- or underrepresented based on Poisson expectation. I...
