Dear R-ers! I have x as a variable in a data frame x. x<-data.frame(x=c("aa.bb","cc.dd.ee")) x$x<-as.character(x$x) x I am sorry for such a simple question - but how can I replace all periods in x$x with spaces? sub('.', ' ', x$x) - removes all letters to the left of each period... Thanks a lot for your advice! -- Dimitri Liakhovitski Ninah.com

I am not sure if this question has been asked before - but is there a procedure in R (in lm or glm?) that is equivalent to ENTER and REMOVE regression commands in SPSS? Thanks a lot! -- Dimitri Liakhovitski Ninah.com Dimitri.Liakhovitski at ninah.com

Dear R-ers! I have a badly organized data base in Excel. Once I read it into R it looks like this (all variables become factors because of many spaces and other characters in Excel):

Dear R'rs, is there a function that checks if a given vector contains a certain value. E.g., x<-c(1,2,3,4). How can I get a TRUE or FALSE for whether x contains a 2? -- Dimitri Liakhovitski Ninah.com Dimitri.Liakhovitski at ninah.com

Hello. Until today I've been using R2.9 and since today R2.10 (on a PC). In both of them it takes about 20 sec for the prompt to appear IN R console after I start R. And every time it says: "Previous saved work space restored" - even if I have not saved any workspace or, in case of R2.10 - even though I have not used it once. In the older versions - R would start within 2-3 sec. Is

Hello! I am wondering at what point does R consider a numeric value to be equal to zero - for statements of the type x==0 and x %in% 0. Thank you very much! -- Dimitri Liakhovitski Ninah.com Dimitri.Liakhovitski at ninah.com

Dear R'ers, I have a very large data frame (over 4000 rows and 2,500 columns). My task is very simple - I have to replace all NAs with a zero. My code works fine on smaller data frames - but I have to deal with a huge one and there are many NAs in each column. R runs out of memory on me ("Reached total allocation of 1535Mb: see help(memory.size)"). Is there any other, more efficient

Hello, dear R-ers! I have a data frame: x<-data.frame(a=c(4,2,4,1,3,4),b=c(1,3,4,1,5,0),c=c(NA,2,5,3,4,NA),d=rep(NA,6),e=rep(NA,6)) x When x$a==1, I would like to replace NAs in columns d and e with 8 and 9, respectively When x$a != 1, I would like to replace NAs in columns d and e 101 and 1022, respectively. However, I only want to do it for rows 2:5 - while ignoring what's happening in

The Rd.sty LaTeX package is used when building the R manuals, and by the LaTeX pages produced from the man pages. I have tracked down some problems G?bor Cs?rdi was having recently (see "Re: [R] preformatted and '#' in manual pages" in R-help) to a LaTeX problem, and am trying to work out how to fix it. Specifically, the .Rd file he was using had a structure like \dQuote{

Dear R-ers, I have a large data frame (several thousands of rows and about 2.5 thousand columns). One variable ("group") is a grouping variable with over 30 levels. And I have a lot of NAs. For each variable, I need to divide each value by variable mean - by subgroup. I have the code but it's way too slow - takes me about 1.5 hours. Below is a data example and my code that is too

Dear All, Can someone please guide me how to get the certain part from a long html language? e.g. "<td><a href='2005-01.html'>2005-01</a></td><td><a href='2006-01.html'>2006-01</a></td><td><a href='2007-01.html'>2007-01</a></td><td><a

Hi, I can use the following code to generate a matrix, each column of which is 'x'. But I have to specify '5' twice in the second command. I am wondering if there is a better way to do it. > x=1:10 > matrix(rep(x,5),nc=5) > t(matrix(rep(x,5),nc=5)) Regards, Peng

Hello, Is it possible to have the effect of UserDefinedDatabase outside of "attached" environments ? Can I disguise an environment of the sys.frames() as a UserDefinedDatabase ? This seems to suggest that it might be possible : > f <- function(){ e <- environment(); class(e) <- "UserDefinedDatabase"; ff } > f() *** caught segfault *** address (nil),

Hello! I have a data frame with a factor and a numeric variable: x<-data.frame(factor=c("b","b","d","d","e","e"),values=c(1,2,10,20,100,200)) For each level of "factor" - I would like to divide each value of "values" by the mean of "values" that corresponds to the level of "factor" In other

Hello, the code below gives me the picture I need - but there is on small thing I can't figure out. The plot has very small tick mark labels for both axes. I don't mean the axis labels - they are both good, but what is shown near the tick marks. Please help me figure out what parameter I should add to make those larger. I tried sticking cex.lab=1.3 in different places but it didn't

Dear R-ers, I have a data frame data with predictors x1 through x5 and the response variable y. I am running a simple regression: reg<-lm(y~x1, data=data) I would like to loop through all predictors. Something like: predictors<-c("x1","x2",... "x10) for(i in predictors){ reg<-lm(y~i) etc. } But it's not working. I am getting an error: Error in

Hello, I'm trying to use the limited connections api defined in Rinternals.h.

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
