Dear list, I have a question regarding how to allocate or initialize the proper type of the arrays or lists. I have a for loop, each iteration, I want it to assign a subset of a data frame to an element of an array or list. However, I am wondering how I should initialize or allocate the empty array or list so that it has the same number of the elements as the subsets I am going to assign and

Hello, I'm switching over from SAS to R and am having trouble merging data frames. The data frames have several columns with the same name, and each has a different number of rows. Some of the values are missing from cells with the same column names in each data frame. I had hoped that when I merged the dataframes, every column with the same name would be merged, with the value in a complete

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]]

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 <-

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

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

Hello, I am trying to learn how to perform Multiple Regression Analysis in R. I decided to take a simple example given in this PDF: http://www.utdallas.edu/~herve/abdi-prc-pretty.pdf I created a small CSV called, students.csv that contains the following data: s1 14 4 1 s2 23 4 2 s3 30 7 2 s4 50 7 4 s5 39 10 3 s6 67 10 6 Col headers: Student id, Memory span(Y), age(X1), speech rate(X2) Now

I've always found the chron library to be useful for tasks like this: > x <- round(runif(10)*100000, digits=0) > y <- as.Date(x, origin="1970-01-01") > library(chron) > days(y) [1] 7 25 26 25 10 24 1 31 12 8 31 Levels: 1 < 2 < 3 < 4 < 5 < 6 < 7 < 8 < 9 < 10 < 11 < 12 < 13 < ... < 31 Notice that it returns the days as

Here's another interesting problem: if you recall I have a data frame (LCvars1) that consists of about 1500 cases (rows) of data from kids who took a test of listening comprehension. The columns are their scores (1 = correct, 0 = incorrect, . = missing) on 140 test items. The items are numbered sequentially and are ordered by increasing difficulty as you go from left to right across the

Hello! I am using function "curve" to create a line graph. I was wondering, if it's possible to "turn off" the default tick marks and introduce those tick marks in specific locations. For example, currently in my X axis tick marks are (automatically) at 10, 11, 12, 13 but I want them to be in 5 specific locations, like 9.89, 10.34, etc. Any hint would be greatly

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

Dear R Community, I am attempting to transpose a dataset from rows to columns but am stuck. I have tried using reshape() with little luck, possibly due to the categorical nature of the data. For example: id<-c(1,2,2,3,3,3) author<-c("j","k","k","l","l","l")

Hello, When making a graph, plot and boxplot automatically sort my factor levels (y axis) into alphabetical order. Is there a way to make it NOT do this? I've tried: sort.by="none", sorted=FALSE, sort=FALSE, reorder=FALSE. Thank you.

Hi everyone, I am posting this because i know its easy and i cant for the life of me figure out how to do it though i have tried and through a ridiculously complex loop made it happen. I need to convert some list elements of NULL value to 0s so they mesh with my data frame properly. So for A<-list(1,NULL) returns [[1]] [1] 1 [[2]] NULL Would instead return [[1]] [1] 1 [[2]] [1] 0

The structure of the file is clear (see below) the first line is made of integers and doubles with the fifth being a text string followed by arrays of double precision number.: int1 int2 double1 double2 text int3 int4 int5 (array of double) here is an example of file: 1 1 1.0 1.0 "HEAD" 160 224 3 23.4 34.5 ...... I tried to read the first line with readBin (results are copied below):

Hi , SO i have been on a role of asking simple questions lately. So much for feeling like im getting this R business. I wrote a script 2 weeks ago that utilized "proportion" to turn values in a table (from "table") into proportions to then graph. I now get an error that proportion is not a function so im confused. I ran the script a few times and im thinking maybe i had
