similar to: Copying a subset of a matrix

Hi, Does any one know if it is possible to create an R script that can use command line parameters. I can execute an R script from the command line, but I cannot figure out how to pass parameters to the script. The only resources I have found seem somewhat involved or incomplete. Any help is appreciated. Akintayo [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Hi, I use the max function often to find the top value from a matrix or column of a data.frame. Now I'm looking to find the top 2 (or three) values from my data. I know that I could sort the list and then access the first two items, but that seems like the "long way". Is there some way to access "max_2" or similar? Thanks! -- Noah

?Hi: I always use subset the same way but now is returning 0 rows. What's wrong with the way I am subsetting? library(ggplot2) structure(list(first = c(38.2086, 43.1768, 43.146, 41.8044, 42.4232, 46.3646, 38.0813, 40.0745, 40.4889, 38.6246, 40.2826, 41.6056, 34.5353, 40.0768), second = c(43.3295, 42.4326, 38.8994, 37.0894, 42.3218, 46.1726, 39.1206, 41.2072, 42.4874, 40.2657, 38.7766,

Hello everyone, I have a large dataset (x) with some rows that have duplicate variables that I would like to remove. I find which rows are the duplicates with X1<-which(duplicated(x)). That gives me the rows with duplicated variables. Now, how can I remove just those rose from the original data frame. I think I can create a new data frame without the duplicates using subset. I have tried:

Hello All, I have a covariance matrix, generated by read.table, and cov: co<-cov(read.table("c:/r.x")) X Y Z X 0.0012517684 0.0002765438 0.0007887114 Y 0.0002765438 0.0002570286 0.0002117336 Z 0.0007887114 0.0002117336 0.0009168750 And a weight vector generated by w<- read.table("c:/r.weights") X Y

Hi, Having a matrix F.zoo (6575,189) with NA's in some columns I'm trying to extract from each column the percent of days within an specific range, so I've wrote this procedure: length(subset(F.zoo[,86],(F.zoo[,86]>=5) & (F.zoo[,86]<= 9)))/(length(F.zoo[,86])-length(subset(F.zoo[,86],is.na(F.zoo[,86]))))*100 But to do this for each column (189) is pretty hard, so I want

Hi All, I have a factor variable with 52 levels -with long, annoying names. I want to keep only rows with some variables. I can do this using this code: test1 <- subset(nih2009,ic_name %in% c('NATIONAL EYE INSTITUTE','Veterans Affairs')) dim(test1) [1] 2396 38 But this doesn't work: t1 <- subset(nih2009, ic_name %in% c(27,51)) dim(t1) [1] 0 38 I know

Hello All I, for the life of me, can't figure out to subset my dataframe by my Date field. The field has been formatted as POSIXlt. str(wild) ...... $ Date : POSIXlt, format: "2010-05-28" "2010-05-28" "2010-05-28" ... This doesn't work: test <-subset(wild,ID=="2830" & Date=="2010-08-17") which returns: <0 rows> (or

Hi R Users, I'm trying to re-order the "site names" ("Waseca", "Morris", ...). I'm using following code: libarry(lattice) barchart(yield ~ variety | site, data = barley, groups = year, layout = c(6,1), aspect=.7, ylab = "Barley Yield (bushels/acre)", scales = list(x = list(abbreviate = TRUE, rot=45,

Hello, All, How can one sort on column and row names. For example: How can this X1 X3 X2 X1 1 0 0 X3 0 1 0 X2 0 0 1 become this? X1 X2 X3 X1 1 0 0 X2 0 1 0 X3 0 0 1 Thank you for your time! Jim [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Hello! I wrote a function that returns a data frame. Nowhere in the function do I say print(my.data.frame), but when I run the function - the data frame is printed on the console. Is there any way to suppress it? Thank you! -- Dimitri Liakhovitski Ninah Consulting www.ninah.com

Hi - I have a data frame with a large number of observations (62,000 rows, but only 2 columns - a character ID and a result list). Sample: > my.df <- data.frame(id=c("ID1", "ID2", "ID3"), result=1:3) > my.df id result 1 ID1 1 2 ID2 2 3 ID3 3 I have a list of ID vectors. This list will have anywhere from 100 to 1000 members, and

Hi everyone I am trying to use grep in a for loop to compare a string value. It works if I use the actual index value but when I use the for loop index, it doesn't work. Any suggestions plz. Here is the code: data <- read.table(file="Sigmoid.csv", head=FALSE, sep=","); c1 <- data$V1 c2 <- data$V2 c3 <- data$V3 c1data <- data.frame(c1); c2data <-

I am able to create a coordinate list sparse matrix this way: r = c(1,2,2,3,3) c = c(4,1,2,3,5) v = c(1,2,1,3,1) a = sparseMatrix(i=r,j=c,x=v) However, this results in an object that looks like this: a 3 x 5 sparse Matrix of class "dgCMatrix" [1,] . . . 1 . [2,] 2 1 . . . [3,] . . 3 . 1 How do I convert this object into a data.frame that would look like this:

I am reading in a very large file with names in it and R is truncating the number of rows it reads in. The separator in this file is a pipe '|' and so I use dat <- read.delim('pathToMyFile', header= TRUE, sep='|') It turns out that it is reading up to row 61145 and stopping and I think I see why, but am not sure of the best solution to this problem. I see the name of

I apologize in advance for the simplicity of this question. I use R 2-3 times a year, and I seem to forget more in the intervening months than I learn during my days of panicked reading.... I HAVE tried looking at the help resources; I'm just not very good at understanding them. I have a dataframe with 18 observations of 5 different things, and a second dataframe with and estimate for those

Hi, Suppose I have a matrix of size 256x14x32 in MATLAB. I want to import that into R. I used readMat and then do.call. But the variable is stored as an array as its done in R. However, I want to define a variable W=array(0,c(256,14,32)) in R and read the multidimensional matlab variable into W. I am not able to do this in R. Please, could you help ? Thanks Gopi [[alternative HTML version

Hi R users, I have a matrix of data similar to: > y=matrix(rnorm(55),ncol=5) I would like to know to which decile each number belongs compared to the numbers in its column. Say y[1,1] is the third decile among y[1:11,1] and y[2,1] is in the second decile I would like get a matrix that would return their ranks in decile, i.e., y[1,1] -> 3 y[2,1] -> 2 Your help is much appreciated!

Dear all of you, I would like if someone can help me to know how I can read a matrix looking for positions in the matrix that are not null. I have a matrix with most of the "cells" or "positions" null, I am trying to know the invasion power of a plant (number 1 in the matrix when t==1). I would like to continue the model writing some condition when the value of the matrix in
