These are the ways that occur to me. ## This produces a logical vector, which will get converted to a numeric ## vector the first time a number is assigned to it. That seems ## wasteful. x <- rep(NA, n) ## This does the conversion ahead of time but it's still creating a ## logical vector first, which seems wasteful. x <- as.numeric(rep(NA, n)) ## This avoids type conversion but still

Here's some code to make lissajous dance. I've attached a small sample GIF. Cheers, Rob Steele robsteele at yahoo dot com plot.lissajous = function(omega.x, omega.y, delta = 0, num.thetas = 200) { thetas = seq(0, 2 * pi, length = num.thetas) xs = sin(omega.x * thetas + delta) ys = cos(omega.y * thetas) plot(xs, ys, type = 'l', lwd = 3, ann = FALSE, axes = FALSE) }

We can't post images here so I've put up a web page to show off a neat little animation in R: http://www.geocities.com/robsteele/ Adios!

Hi, I'm needing some help finding a function to read a large text file into an array in R. The data are essentially presence / absence / na data for many species and come as a grid with each species name (after two spaces) at the beginning of the matrix defining the map for that species. An excerpt could therefore be: SPECIES1 999001099 900110109 011101000 901100101 110100019 901110019

I am trying to use highlight, but I am getting this kind of thing: /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/ferret-0.11.4/lib/ferret/index.rb:197:in `highlight'': IO Error occured at <except.c>:93 in xraise (IOError) Error occured in index.c:1222 - lazy_df_get_bytes len = -5, but should be greater than 0 from

Hello! Two questions: 1: I have to import a matrix of adjacency from a file of a software that is not R (for example "bloc notes" of Windows). The problem is that the matrix is not in the explicit form as 0 1 1 1 0 0 1 0 0 but it is a scattered matrix where in each row there are two nodes that have a direct path. The matrix is a b a c b a c a For example, the first row

Hi, I use the functions socketConnections() and getConnection() which are working fine. Thanks to the authors. After opening nicely some socketConnection, getConnection(3) returns something like : description class mode text opened can read can write "->127.0.0.1:7496" "socket" "wb" "binary" "opened" "yes"

I have a file in fwf. It is rather large, about 40,000 rows and 40 variables (columns). I only need about 10 variables form the data set for the analysis at hand. Unfortunately, these 10 variables are not contiguous in the file, for example, the first is position 1-8, the next position 25-27, then 40. Is there a way to read the selected varaibles that I need without reading in the entire data

Hi everyone, my apologies if I'm overlooking something obvious in the documentation. I'm relatively inexperienced with the (awesome) ff package. My goal is to use the read.table.ffdf() function to call the read.fwf() function and pass through the colClasses and comment.char arguments. The code below shows exactly what doesn't work for me. If the colClasses and comment.char

I want to enter a symmetric matrix containing distances for use in the cmdscale() metric scaling function. The matrix currently sits on a file in lower triangular form looking like this: 1 AWANUI RIVER .000 2 BLENHEIM .510 .000 3 COLLINGWOOD .510 .109 .000 4 FOXTON .510 .141 .141 .000 5 GISBORNE .549 .549 .549

Full_Name: Emmanuel Paradis Version: 2.1.1 OS: Linux Submission from: (NULL) (193.49.41.105) read.fwf(..., header = TRUE) does not work properly since: 1/ the original header is printed on the console and not in FILE; 2/ the different 'parts' of the header should be separated with tabs to work with the call to read.table. Here is a suggested fix for src/library/utils/R/read.fwf.R:

Dear List I have a fixed width file with variables of varying width. The help is pretty transparent for this feature, but I can't seem to figure out how I can make effective use of the package with my data. In my dataset, the first 80 columns are of width 1 followed by other variables with width larger than 1. I think the correct way to do this, by brute force, would be >

Is there a way to handle the widths of values being written to a file using wrtite.fwf() ? For example, I used read.fwf(file, width.vector) to read a file. After making the necessary data manipulation, I want to write the data to a new file in the same width.vector format. Is there a way to specify this? Thanks in Advance Aparna [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

I need to import several ascii files in fixed format with two different record types. The data comes from European Labor Force Surveys, wich is a household survey. The first record type is for people over 16 years, and the second much sorter is for people aged 15 or less (this record has a filler with several blanks to get the same record length). The files tipically have 160000 records, with 176
