I've got a problem with the sparseby command (reshape library), and I have reached the peak of my R knowledge (it isn't really that high). I have a small data frame of 23 rows and 15 columns, here is a subset, the first four columns are factors and the rest are numeric (only one, line54 is provided). bearID YEAR Season SEX line54 5 1900 8 3 0 16.3923519 11 2270

Hi I am a newbie to R but have tried a number of ways in R to do this and can't find a good solution. (I could do it out of R in perl or awk but would like to know how to do this in R). I have a large data frame 49 variables and 7000 observations however for simplicity I can express it in the following data frame Base, Image, LVEF, ES_Time A, 1, 4.32, 0.89 A, 2, 4.98, 0.67 A, 3, 3.7, 0.5

I am evaluating a switch from Stata to R. I don't need to extensive Statistical methods, but the main reason I am exploring the switch is the coding flexibility in R (e.g. Stata does not support linear/quadratic programming). I have been going over the R syntax and I had a quick question: In Stata, one has a very useful construction called "by", e.g. by month signal: gen xxx =

Hi, I'm very new to R and absolutely love it. Does anyone know how to use something in R that functions like a BY command in SAS? For example, let's say you have a variable x, and you want to see the mean. Easy... > mean(x) But what if you want to see the mean of x conditional on another discrete variable? My best attempts so far are something like... > mean(x, y_cat=1)

Hello, This is my first project in R, so I'm trying to work 'the R way', but it still feels awkward sometimes. The problem that I'm facing right now is that I need to convert a data.frame into a structure of lists. The data.frame has columns in the order of tens (I need to focus on only three of them) and rows in the order of millions. So it's quite a big dataset. Let say
