Suppose I have a data frame with two columns ``district'' and ``score'' --- score is numeric; district may be considered categorical. I wish to append to this data frame a third column whose entries are the ranks of ``score'' ***within*** district. I've tried fiddling about with tapply() and by() but the result is a list whose i-th component consists of the ranks of

I am wondering what the list's opinion is on the Apple to Intel switch. This is going to put a slick desktop that runs on top of BSD directly into the mainstream.

I have been looking around for Outlook Integration for Asterisk. Saw the Asterisk TAPI wiki page and also ran across this: http://www.fonality.com/pop.cgi?page=pop_pbxtray.tt (PBXtray) It looks like Fonality has managed to make an app that does screen pops and allows click to dial. Has anyone else been able to get this all to work successfully? Looks pretty slick.

Just started using mock to rebuild some srpms. I have two I want to rebuild, problem is the first creates a dep that is required by the second. Is there an automated way to populate an additional repo/cache that mock would look at when building the second so I could queue both? Although I haven't tried, I presume I could drop the output from the first build into a dir, createrepo it and add

Hello list! I've seen the threads in this months archives on oplock issues, so I hope I am not hitting a sore spot by bringing it up again. The reason I am beating on this is that I've got a testable, repeatable issue with Win2K terminal server (SP2) running CorelDRAW 10 (patched to current) against a Debian Woody box running Samba 2.2.3a-6 for Debian. Since I can repeatedly test the

...se into a single dataframe D, notionally D <- "d1 on the left, d2 on the right" which contains all the columns except that duplicates only occur once (and, preferably, in the order of occurrence on d1 -- i.e. remove them from d2 if already dound in d1). Any tips for how to do this slickly?

Today, I was looking for an elegant (and efficient) way to get a named (atomic) vector by selecting one column of a data frame. Of course, the vector names must be the rownames of the data frame. Ok, here is the quiz, I know one quite "cute"/"slick" answer, but was wondering if there are obvious better ones, and also if this should not become more idiomatic (hence

I just finished posting an article on creating a lightweight but very functional web grid that does a slick job of live updating whatever content you put in. Much like Rails itself, I pulled the code from an active project effort, in the hopes that others would find it useful. http://unspace.ca/discover/datagrid Or, for the impatient, give the demo a shot: http://unspace.ca/datagrid Feedback

Suppose I have a square matrix P P <- matrix(c(.3,.7, .7, .3), ncol=2) I know that > P * P Returns the element by element product, whereas > P%*%P Returns the matrix product. Now, P^2 also returns the element by element product. But, is there a slick way to write P %*% P %*% P Obviously, P^3 does not return the result I expect. Thanks, Harold [[alternative HTML version

Each RDS is 40 MBs. What's a slick code to compare them row by row, IDing row numbers with mismatches? Thanks in advance. //

Hi, this is probably a very trivial question but I can't figure out the right terms to find the solution in the list archive. I have a matrix or a data.frame or the like: > m <- matrix(ncol=3,seq(1,9)) > m [,1] [,2] [,3] [1,] 1 4 7 [2,] 2 5 8 [3,] 3 6 9 and now I wonder if one can provide somehow two vectors, one containing row numbers, the other

Hello, Does anyone know of a "slick" way to get R to convert a string which is all upper case to a string where the first letter in each word is upper case and all others are lower case? I suspect the solution is to begin by parsing the string, convert the appropriate letters to upper and lower case using "toupper" and "tolower", and then to paste the pieces back

I sometimes buy myself a default value for a hash using something like this: h = Hash.new{|h,k| h[k] = ""}. I can now pass ''h'' any key and if a value has not yet been associated with that key I receive an empty string. I would love to do something similar in my partials so that I wouldn''t have to worry about passing in every variable that is referenced.

We have a server which runs Samba and Apache. Web developers edit their files (via Windows mapped drives) from Windows XP SP2. These files are typically CGI files and the developers' routine is: while (web page not quite right) { 1. Edit file 2. Save 3. Click Reload on web browser 4. Check results } They go around that loop many times during a typical development run.

Friends- I am almost finished with a custom live cd called Rubuntu ;-) This is an ubuntu live cd variant that comes preloaded with ruby and rails developers in mind. I already have it working with all the basics but I was wondering what extras people would like to see on this distro. What editors with what configurations? What other tools do people really like for rails development on a

Hi there, I have data frame with columns ID and Date. There are multiple rows for each ID, but I only want to keep the *first* such row--i.e., the row corresponding to the earliest event. So if I had, say, 1000 rows of 100 IDs doing an average of ten events each, I'd run this trimming procedure and end up with a data frame containing 100 rows (one for each ID), where each row record that

...d the MATLAB convention to some degree). Or, looping from 0 -> 1 by 0.01? I've dug through what [R] documentation I have, and all I can find is the somewhat obtuse. For example, I can use x <- seq(0,1, by=.01) But not for(x in (0,1,by=0.01)) { print(x) } What about things that are slickly handled in C++, like for (node=start; value<threshold && node!=end; node=node->next) { ... } OK - I'm stumped (and happy to humiliate myself with what has surely got to be trivial). I'm happy with a simple basic counter at this point.

Starting with the head of a 499 element matrix whose column names are now the labels trom a cut() operation, I needed to get to a vector of midpoints to serve as the basis for plotting a calibration curve ( exp(linear predictor) vs. : > dput(head(dimnames(mtcal)[2][[1]])) # was starting point testvec <- c("(-8.616,-3.084]", "(-3.084,-2.876]",

I''m checking out backgroundrb for a calculation process I estimate will take 2-3 minutes and be ran on-demand only via Rails. Very easy and slick. But I have a question. The connections never close, if I do a netstat they just keep piling up. Do I need to do some housekeeping somewhere? I noticed the @ connection.close statements are commented out in favor of a # FIXME type deal.
