Hello UseRs: Excuses for my english. I have a dataset with 65000 records and I'd like to make a summary where I can view all the values (with the number of times that it repeats) that there are each column of my dataset. I tried with summary( ), str( ), but nothing gives me the result that I am loking for. Thank you very much.

Hello. I've being having problems to create directories in a windows server environment . It seems that the recursive argument is not working properly on the intranet, as it does in a local path. For example: > dir.create("\\\\server/directory1/directory2") , this works fine, and creates the directory2, but If we want to create the directory3 and another directory called

Dear listers, I'm having a bad R day. I just can't think of the vectorized equivalent of: for (ii in 1:n) aa[ii] = bb[ii,cc[ii]] Any suggestion received with embarrassment and gratitude Simon Gatehouse CSIRO Exploration and Mining, Newbigin Close off Julius Ave North Ryde, NSW Mail: PO Box 136, North Ryde NSW 1670, Australia

Hi, is there a way to reference to a data object without copying it? For example I have a huge matrix called dist and I want two objects obj1 and obj2 to have a memeber dist that points to the matrix, but I don't want, for memory reasons, to copy the matrix twice. As far as I understand the following code will generate three copies of my data: dist <- some_code_that_generates_data

I have a data frame (df) with colums x, y and z. e.g. df <- data.frame(x = sample(4), y = sample(4), z = sample(4)) I can extract column z by: df$z or df[3] I can also extract columns x,y by: df[1:2] or by df[-3]. Is it possible to extract x,y columns in a "symbolic" fashion i.e. by equivalent of df[-z] (which is illegal) ??? Or alternativeley, is there an equivalent of

My search site, http://finzi.psych.upenn.edu, has had several problems recently, all my fault, for which I apologize. But it now seems to be running reliably, on a new computer that is much faster than the old one. It uses htdig to permit search of the Rhelp mailing list, R documents, R functions, and various combinations of these. Search has several options, including Boolean search (with AND,

Dear all! After hours of trying around, I gave up: I have a 2-dimensional array, and I know how to split it into its rows and how to get the mean for every row using 'sapply'. But what I want is to calculate the mean over the first n rows, and then the second n rows, etc., so that I get a vector like: v == mean1(row 1:5), mean2(row6:10),... (trivial, you might say. I find it rather

Hi, I'm trying to subset a list which contains variable length vectors. What I want to do is extract (eg.) the 3rd item in each vector (with length >= 3). At the moment I'm using sapply(list.of.vectors, function(x) {x[3]}). The problem with this is that sapply returns a list of the same length of list.of.vectors so I end up with a whole lot of null entries from those vectors

Hello, I am a beginner in R programming and recently heard about this mailing list. Currently, I am trapped into a simple problem for which I just can't find a solution. I have a huge dataset (~81,000 observations) that has been analyzed and the final result is in the form of 0 and 1(one column). I need to write a code to process this column in a little complicated way. These 81,000

Hi there, I saw several Scriptaculous''s Effect examples and all of them makes the Effect instance at the time they want to apply to some page element. I need to make that in two phases, A) create instance of the effects associated to the affected elements and B) at any time execute the effect over the respective element. The executions of the effects will be dictated by events that
