Good evening to everybody. I have a data of four columns - three of the columns represent date while the fourth is counts. Setting 4000 as my minimum point/value, I wish to find out the number of counts that are less or equal to 4000 and the dates they occur. I have installed pastecs and have been trying to use turnpoints function to do this. I have not been much lucky. I am a still learning. I

Hello, To me as a beginner, every problem looks big. Below is what I was asked to do as part of a code that will solve my problem. I have used read.table to read my data into R and assigned the column names with colnames(dat)<- ... . But to go from txt<-" to the last " at the bottom of the table below is what I am unable to do. Could anybody please tell me how to type or arrive at

Good morning. I wish to plot two data on the same axis. I tried plot(x,y, type = "l") for the first and tried to use lines or points(x,y, lty = 2, col = 4) to add or plot the second data on alongside the first. However, what I got was not encouraging. I have attached the two data and would be pleased if anybody could be of help. Thank you Best regards Ogbos -------------- next part

Hi Is there a function which determines the location, i.e., index of the all minimums or maximums of a numeric vector. Which.min(x) only finds the (first) of such. > x <- c(1:4,0:5, 4, 11) > x [1] 1 2 3 4 0 1 2 3 4 5 4 11 > which.min(x) [1] 5 > which.max(x) [1] 11 > but I need which.min(x) to be 5 11 which.max(x) to be 4 10

Happy New Year, r-helpers! I am using lowess to smooth a scatter plot, xx<-lowess(xinput,f=.04) #defaults for other args followed by turnpoints(xx$y) #defaults for other args I plot the smoothed result as well as turnpoints (using yy$tppos) on top of raw data plot. Result is exactly as expected, graphically. For another purpose, I calcuate the difference between turnpoints (representing

Hello, I just notice this: > x <- c(1:4,0:5, 4, 11) > library(pastecs) Loading required package: boot > tp <- turnpoints(x) > extract(tp, no.tp = FALSE, peak = TRUE, pit = FALSE) [1] FALSE FALSE FALSE TRUE FALSE FALSE FALSE FALSE FALSE TRUE FALSE FALSE Warning message: arguments after the first two are ignored in: UseMethod("extract", e, n, ...) >

Hello, I'm trying to get a few turnpoints for a financial time series. There is a function in pastecs that does that. However, I get a large number of turnpoints: library(pastecs) data(EuStockMarkets) dax <-EuStockMarkets[,1] plot(dax) turnp <-turnpoints(dax) summary(turnp) #gives 925 peaks/pits!!! How can specify to get only 30 turnpoints? Second question: the extract function

Hi, I was wondering if anyone knows of a package that contains the ability for peak/valley detection. Here is an example of what I'm looking for, only problem is that it's written in Matlab. http://www.billauer.co.il/peakdet.html Thanks for any help in advance. -Joe

Hi all a week ago, I posted a newbie question in data smoothing & maximum-extraction with R. I got quite a lot of response, but I'm still kinda stuck with it... I'll restate the problem : i got a datafile with 2400 measuerements (every 250msec) of a CO2 measurement device, capturing the breath of a subject. I uploaded such a sample here :

Hi, Here's the problem I ran into: the gmp package has a method for apply() so it masks the base::apply function. With gmp installed, I tried to run the function turnpoints() from the pastecs package. It fails because it calls apply() internally, like this: apply(mymatrix,1,max,na.rm=TRUE) , but the code in the gmp package which sets up the operator overload for apply() strictly

Hi I just installed the pastecs package and I am wondering: is there an english (or german) translation of the file pastecs.pdf? If not, is there an explanation somewhere of the object of type 'turnpoints' as a result of turnpoints(), especially the "info" field?

Hi I have a large dataset which follows a multimodal distribution. And I would like to identify the maxima. As the data is obtained from a stochastic simulation, not all maxima in the data are "real maxima of the dirstribution" but rather small random fluctuations. Unfortunately, it is not possible for me to run more simulations to smooth the obtained distribution. What I am doing

Hello, I am runing linux on Ubuntus. I find it difficult to install R packages. I am in South Africa. It always asked me to choose the nearest CRAN mirror. I normally choose South Africa and once I clicked Ok, the error message pasted below will appear. Please I am a new student of R and Ubuntus. The other warning "argument 'lib' is missing: using

Hi Ogbos, Here is your sample data plotted in roughly the same way as the image. You can get the hours to start at the bottom, but it will require more code. swe$hour<-as.numeric(sapply(strsplit(swe$time,":"),"[",1)) swe$FD<-sample(1:2,nrow(swe),TRUE) library(plotrix) clock24.plot(swe$count,swe$hour,rp.type="s",radial.lim=c(3000,4010),

Hi all, I can't understand why grid package failed to installed on my machine. Can anybody have a look and advice on where I am missing it. My R version is 2.9.2. After untarring: tar xzvf grid_0.7-4.tar.gz, I tried to configure or make but none worked, 'no such files'. I have also tried using : sudo R CMD INSTALL /home/ogbos/Desktop/goo/grid_0.7-4.tar.gz which also resulted in the

Hello, Please I am a learner. My operating system is ubuntus and I am trying to install raster package from R-forge site. I entered sudo apt-get install r-base-dev on the command line and that worked fine. I then typed R at the command line so as to run R. Inside R, I typed > install.packages("raster",repos="http://R-Forge.R-project.org<http://r-forge.r-project.org/>")

Dear All, I have a script that draws longitude and latitude of lightning occurrence. This script was running fine before. But when I changed my system and do a fresh install on another laptop, this error persist. source("script") Error in eval(expr, envir, enclos) : could not find function "pointsToRaster" I have tried to see if there is any other package I need to install

Dear all, I am trying to add error bars on a boxplot but have encountered an error as indicated below. Is there a package I need to install or a library I have to load before this goes please. Thanks for any idea. Ogbos x<-replicate(20,rnorm(50)) boxplot(x,notch=TRUE,main="Notched boxplot with error bars") error.bars(x,add=TRUE) Error: could not find function "error.bars"

Dear Members, Compliments of the Season!! Below is a part of a code I use for Fourier analysis of signals. The code handles data with the format 05 01 01 8628 (year, month, day and count) 05 01 02 8589 (year, month, day and count) The sample data is attached as 2005daily.txt. I would like to adapt the code to handle data of the form: 05 01 01 00 4009
