Dear R helpers: I wonder how to pass more than one argument to the function called by lapply. For example, #R code below --------------------------- indf <- data.frame(id=I(c('a','b')),y=c(1,10)) #I want to add an addition argument cutoff into the function called by lapply. outside.fun <- function(indf, cutoff) { unlist(lapply(split(indf, indf[,'id']),

I have a set of time-series climate data with missing entries. I need to add rows for these missing entries to this data set. The only way I know to do this is unsing a foreloop, but this won't work on a list. I've tried to convert the list to a data frame, but that won't happen, either. I want to fill rows in this table: > newtest[10:15,] yrmos yearmo snow.sum snow.mean

dear R experts: has someone written a function that returns the results of by() as a data frame? ??of course, this can work only if the output of the function that is an argument to by() is a numerical vector. presumably, what is now names(byobject) would become a column in the data frame, and the by object's list elements would become columns. it's a little bit like flattening the by()

I'm having trouble centering multi-line strip text in lattice. As the code below demonstrates bounding box of the text is centered within the strip, but the first line isn't centered in relation to the longer second line. The "adj" argument to par.strip.text doesn't seem to do much. Suggestions? a=data.frame( x=rep(1:10,2) ,y=rep(1:10,2) ,z=rep(c('First Line\nLonger

I have one data frame with a column of dates and I want to fill another data frame with one column of dates, one of years, one of months, one of a unique combination of year and month, and one of days, but R seems to have some problems with this. My initial data frame looks like this (ignore the NAs in the other fields): > mans[1:10,] date loc snow.new prcp tmin snow.dep tmax 1

Hi All, I am using R 2.11.0 on a Ubuntu machine. I have a time series data set and want to run rolling regressions with it. Any suggestions would be useful. Here are the details: (1) I convert relevant variables into time series objects and compute first differences: vad <- ts(data$ALLGVA/data$GDPDEF, start=1948, frequency=1) emp <- ts(data$ALLEMP, start=1948, frequency=1) vad.dif1 <-

Hello list, I'm following the paper (http://www.jstatsoft.org/v27/i02/paper) on how to use "plm" to run panel regressions, and am having trouble with what I believe should be something very basic. When I run the command (p.9 in the paper): R> dynformula(emp~wage+capital,log=list(capital=FALSE,TRUE),lag=list(emp=2,c(2,3)),diff=list(FALSE,capital=TRUE)) I see: emp ~ wage +

Dear R-help I am wondering if somebody wrote some code to convert an adjacency list model into a nested set model. In principal I want to do the same as John Celko mentioned it here with SQL: http://groups.google.co.uk/groups?hl=en&lr=lang_en&selm=8j0n05%24n31%241 %40nnrp1.deja.com Assume you have a tree structure like this Albert / \ /

Hi everyone. I have a long label that I would like to split. I found that I could use "strwrap" for simple text. However, this is not working with this label: str = expression(paste("< 20 ?m phytoplankton ","(cells ? ",mL^-1,")")) plot(...., ylab = strwrap(str,20),...) I suspect this is because I'm using "expression" for form my label.

I have a data set covering a large number of cities with values for characteristics such as land area, population, and employment. The problem I have is that some cities lack observations for some of the characteristics and I'd like a quick way to determine which cities have missing data. For example:

I'm attempting to select a model using stepAIC. I want to use a forward selection procedure. I have specified a "scope" option, but must not be understanding how this works. My results indicate that the procedure begins and ends with the "full" model (i.e., all 17 independent variables)...not what I expected. Could someone please point out what I'm not

For a variety of displays (mosaicplots, barplots, ...) one often wants to either abbreviate or wrap long labels, particularly when these are made up of several words. In general, it would be nice to have a function, abbreviate.or.wrap <- function(x, maxlength=10, maxlines=2, split=" ") { } that would take a character vector or a list of vectors, x, and try to abbreviate or wrap

Hello! Does anyone know of a handy way to wrap the names.arg text in a barplot? I'm creating a bar plot with rather long labels; I can adjust the margins, but I'd also like to have the text wrap to about 4cm. Thanks! Kyle H.

Soy nueva en R y necesito hacer unos gráficos para una investigación, he explorado un poco y estoy intentando usar ggplot2 ya que hace gráficos de muy buena calidad...tengo los datos de varios años para diferentes grupos de empresas y los pretendo graficar tanto en un solo grafico como en varios (facet_wrap) pero tengo problemas con el eje de las X, ya que necesito que aparezcan los

I would like to wrap a y-axis label onto two lines. My label is an expression containing both text and math symbols. I have looked at plotmath, strsplit(), strwrap(), deparse(), do.call(), substitute() and bquote(). Based on previous posts, I can get plain text to wrap. However, when I try these methods on my label, the exact string is returned, rather than evaluating the math symbols. My

I have this situation: class Employee < ActiveRecord::Base belongs_to :designation end class Designation < ActiveRecord::Base end I do the following at the irb console: Step 1: Find an employee >> emp = Employee.find 3 => #<Employee:0x35a7d34 @attributes={"designation_id"=>"3", "id"=>"3",

Hi: Using this dataframe with quite long column headers, how can I wrap the text so that the columns are narrower. I was trying to use strwrap without success.
