similar to: Corrupt data frame construction - bug?

Full_Name: Steven McKinney Version: 2.9.0 OS: Mac OS X 10.5.6 Submission from: (NULL) (142.103.207.10) A corrupt data frame can be constructed as follows: foo <- matrix(1:12, nrow = 3) bar <- data.frame(foo) bar$NewCol <- foo[foo[, 1] == 4, 4] bar lapply(bar, length) > foo <- matrix(1:12, nrow = 3) > bar <- data.frame(foo) > bar$NewCol <- foo[foo[, 1] == 4, 4]

Hi all, I have been having problems generating png files on a Mac running OS X 10.6.8. Here's a simple example > png("foo.png", type = "cairo"); plot(1:10); dev.off(); null device 1 libpng warning: Application built with libpng-1.2.26 but running with 1.5.2 The resultant file is of size 0 Kb. Is this the proper place to report this issue? Or should

Hi all, What are current methods people use in R to identify mis-spelled column names when selecting columns from a data frame? Alice Johnson recently tackled this issue (see [BioC] posting below). Due to a mis-spelled column name ("FileName" instead of "Filename") which produced no warning, Alice spent a fair amount of time tracking down this bug. With my fumbling fingers

Dears Sirs During my computational work I encountered unexpected behavior when calling "ar" function, namely # time series x<-ts(c(-0.2052083,-0.3764986,-0.3762448,0.3740089,0.2737568,2.8235722,- 1.7783313,0.2728676,-0.3273164),start=c(1978,3),frequency=4,end=c(1980,3)) # ar function res.ar<-ar(x,aic=TRUE,demean=F) # call "ar" again and ............

Hi, ?rawToChar 'rawToChar' converts raw bytes either to a single character string or a character vector of single bytes. (Note that a single character string could contain embedded nuls.) Allowing embedded nuls in a string might be an interesting experiment but it seems to cause some troubles to most of the string manipulation functions. A string with an embedded 0:

Hi all, I believe this is a bug in the model.matrix function. I'd like a second opinion before filing a bug report. If I have a nested covariate B with multiple values for just one level of A, I can not get a non-singular design matrix out of model.matrix > df <- data.frame(A = factor(c("a", "a", "x", "x"), levels = c("x",

Hi all, Can anyone explain why the following use of the subset() function produces a different outcome than the use of the "[" extractor? The subset() function as used in density(subset(mydf, ht >= 150.0 & wt <= 150.0, select = c(age))) appears to me from documentation to be equivalent to density(mydf[mydf$ht >= 150.0 & mydf$wt <= 150.0, "age"])

Full_Name: Mike Ulrich Version: 2.9 OS: Mac OSX Submission from: (NULL) (69.169.178.34) The help documentation for loadings() lists more then one parameter.

I all I am trying to combine columns from two dataframes to make a completely new dataframe consisting of one column of dates (ie a combination of dates from the two dataframes). >From the following dataframes a b 1 2008-07-27 1 2 2008-10-01 2 3 2008-08-15 3 4 2008-08-14 4 5 2008-08-14 5 6 2008-09-20 6 c d 1 2008-07-27 1 2 2008-10-01 2 I would like to get: z

Dear list, I have a list of number sequences. Each number sequence has different numbers of elements. Is there a quick way (other than to iterate through the entire list) way to coerce list to matrix with NAs filling in the short sequences? An example of what I mean is this: A <- list(c(3,2,3),c(6,5)) I'd like to get A so that it is 3 2 3 6 5 NA Best, Ken

I recently received a Sigmaplot file (*.jnb) from a customer and would like to know if I can input it to a data frame and then manipulate the data in R.    I did a search on Google and on RSeek (www.rseek.org), but did not get any good hits.  Thank for any feedback and insight you can provide.   P.S. Love the flexibility of R and would love to keep using it.   Just wanting to know if this is

I would like to figure out the equations for calculating "AIC" in both "step() function" and "AIC () function". They are different. Then I just type "step" in the R console, and found the "AIC" used in "step() function" is "extractAIC". I went to the R help, and found: "The criterion used is AIC = - 2*log L + k *

I'd like to know why I cannot get a plot and the QQnorm in the same sheet. The commands are simple but: library(nlme) glmod1 <- gls(upfmla,correlation=corAR1(),method="ML") summary(glmod1) par(mfrow = c(2,1)) plot(glmod1, main="GLS Residuals vs. GLS Fitted") qqnorm(glmod1) No matter what (I tried different permutations of the plotting commands) the second drawing

I noticed taht R cannot understand certain Fortran real constant formats. For instance: c14 <- as.double( 7.785205408500864D-02) Error: unexpected symbol in " c14 <- as.double( 7.785205408500864D" The above "D" is used in Fortran language to indicate the memory starage mode. That is for instructing Fortran compiler to store such a REAL constant in DOUBLE
