..._id, zip_code_id). However, given that zip_codes.zip_code is itself a candidate key, I would much prefer to do the following: counties_zip_codes (county_id, zip_code), as this removes the need to join with the 42K record zip_codes table. However, when I do the following in the my model: class ZipCode < Active.... has_and_belongs_to_many :counties, :foreign_key => "zip_code" class County < Active... has_and_belongs_to_many :zip_codes, :association_foreign_key => "zip_code" AR still uses ZipCode.id when I call county.zip_codes << some_zip, instead...

i've search the email archives, searched the documention of various map packages and done an R-site search, but have been unable to find direct resources for creating maps of the US that are colored or annotated or ... by zipcode data. For example, create a map of the US and color each zipcode region by its population using two vectors z,p containing the zipcode and population, respectively. I'm not looking for data to fill z, and p. I'm looking for some highend functions to display on a map the data that...

I am interested in locating a script to implement a sampling scheme that would basically make it more likely that a particular observation is chosen based on a weight associated with the observation. I am trying to select a sample of ~30 census blocks from each ZIP code area based on the proportion of women in a ZCTA living in a particular block. I want to make it more likely that a block will

The table should consist the name of the state plus the count. Like I said I have all the zipcodes and the count for the zipcodes, so now I would like to calculate the...

Hey, Does anybody know of a good Geocode library for Ruby, similar to Perl''s Geocode::Postal, that i could use in my rail app?

...ng problem that should be simple, though i am stuck with it. Please note that this is not a specific geonames problem, though i use it as an example - it´s just a basic problem with lapply. I use the geonames webservices with the R geonames packages which works almost smoothly. I have a vector of Zipcodes and i want to do a geonames lookup for all of them, which should not be a problem. Of course i could create a loop for that one, but i think lapply should be possible, too. The problem is to hand over the variable to the lookup function. lapply(zipcodes,GNpostalCodeLookup(postalcode=zipcodes...

I see several mapping libraries but cannot find how to do a simple task. Starting with a vector of zip codes (in the United States and in Canada) I would like to automatically lookup the corresponding coordinates. Can you suggest a package and function that I should turn to? I would also like to automatically pull in the altitude, and some climate data. -- Farrel Buchinsky [[alternative HTML
