Dear Helpers: I'm trying to use packages "maps" and "mapdata" (see blow) to display the research resutls on map (Mid-Atlantic region). In particular, I need to mark a number of points in the map by giving their latitude and longitude information. For instance, I would like to mark a point on (long, lat) =(75.56027, 39.09271). Also, I need to mark several cities that I

Dear R users: My question is how to write output in a specific formate with irregular spacing? Say that I have the following DF with three columns (A-C): A B C a10 100.0 212 The objective is to write an output file such that column A occupies 1-10 spaces aligned to the left, column B occupies 11-15 spaces aligned to the right, and finally column C takes 16-25 spaces

Dear R users: I'm trying to generate a output file with fixed format using function "sprintf" in R. However, the execution time in R is very long even the toy data (smaller size df) seems to work fine. The syntax that I used is as follows: df.fmt <- sprintf("%2s%2s%2.4f", df$v1, df$v2, df$v3) write.table(df.fmt, output.name,...) The actual dataset is a df with the

Dear R folks: I wonder anyone has a elegent way of doing what I need to do. I have a data frame called with four columns: V1, V2, A1 and A2: V1 V2 A1 A2 A B 1.2 2.0 A D 1.2 4.0 A C 2.4 2.2 What I need to do is to convert it into the following data frame with a new column x, where x is just the stacked up of A1 and A2 placed with respective V1 and V2 in the first two

Dear R users: I have an elementary question: how to creat a vector of [A1, A2, A3...... A300]? I know c(1:300) would give 1, 2, 3, ...., 300 but not sure how to attch a A to each element. Thank you Yihsu Chen The Johns Hopkins University

Hi there, I had successfully use "MLE" function to solve my problem. Is there anyone knows how to get related information? i.e., value of likelihood function, information matrix, and etc. I know MLE-class can do it but I can not find any information tells me how to do it. Thanks a billions, Yihsu [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Dear R users; A follow-up question regarding writing to a file with fixed precision: Assuming for each column of x, I would like to have a different format, then I modify the code as: x.fmt <- apply(x, 1, function(x) sprintf("%.14f %.10f %2.5f", x)) where three different formats are %.14f %.10f %2.5f. The error message I got is "Error in sprintf(fmt, ...) : too few
