length(unique(c(1,2,2)))==length(c(1,2,2)) I use the above test to test if all the elements in a vector are unique. But I'm wondering if there is a convenient function to do so in R library.

Dear list members, I can't figure out how get 'xyplot' or 'dotplot' in the 'lattice' package to respect the 'lwd' value for specifying the border with for *symbols* (for lines it works fine). Example: ----- # Base graphics works fine (gives a 'fat? circle) plot(5, cex=10, pch=21, lwd=10) # But 'xyplot' or 'dotplot' doesn't

Dear all, I'm trying to process a log file which logs the date, the username and the computer number accessed. The table looks like this: >table.users          Date UserName Machine 1  2008-11-25     John     641 2  2008-11-25    Clive     611 3  2008-11-25   Jeremy     641 4  2008-11-25     Walt     722 5  2008-11-25     Tony     645 6  2008-11-26     Tony     645 7  2008-11-26    

Hello everyone, I'm running the following for loop to generate random variables in chunks of 60 at a time (l), here h is of order in millions (could be 5 to 6 millions), note that generating all the variables at once could have an impact on the final results for(j in 1:h){ dat$t.o[seq(0,g1,l)[j]+1:l]<-dat$mu[seq(0,g1,l)[j]+1:l] + rnorm(l,0,dat$g.var[seq(0,g1,l)[j]+1:l]) } Is there any

Dear list members I'm using CairoPDF to generate PDF (because of its font embedding and support for transparent colours). However, at least on my (Windows) system, the text it outputs seems to have completely wrong kerning. Here's an example: CairoPDF("test.pdf") plot(rnorm(100),xlab="Ovreset") dev.off() The v is (slightly) too far away from the O, it's much

Dear All, I am struggling with extracting data from a data frame: x=data.frame(a=1:11,b=100:110) What I want is a list/vector in this sence: 1 100 2 101 3 102... For single rows, this works fine: as.matrix(x)[1,] For, say 2 rows, this works fine: z=c(as.matrix(x)[1,],as.matrix(x)[2,]) But z=c(as.matrix(x)[1:2,]) gives 1 2 100 101!? Is there an 'automated way' to produce a

Dear R-helpers, I have a problem converting an object made with the 'chron' function to a POSIXct object: # Make date based on DOY dat <- chron(dates=232, origin.=c(month=1, day=1, year=2008)) dat #[1] 08/20/08 # Converting to POSIXct uses current timezone (Sydney): as.POSIXct(dat) #[1] "2008-08-20 10:00:00 EST" # Setting GMT timezone has no effect? as.POSIXct(dat,

Dear list members, I recall seeing a convenience function for applying multiple functions to one object (i.e., almost the opposite of 'mapply?) somewhere. Example: If the function was named ?fun? the output of fun(3.14, mode, typeof, class) would be identical to the output of c(mode(3.14), typeof(3.14), class(3.14)) Is my memory failing me, or does such a function already exists in a

Full_Name: Karl Ove Hufthammer Version: 2.10.0 OS: Windows XP Submission from: (NULL) (93.124.134.66) I have found a rather strange bug in R 2.10.0 on Windows, where the choice of characters used in a string make R crash (i.e., Windows shows a dialogue saying that the application has a problem, and must be closed). I can reproduce the bug on two separate systems running Windows XP, and with

I'm having a problem where I have to apply a function to a subset of a variable, where the subset is defined by the n nearest neighbours of a second variable. Here's an example applied to the 'iris' dataset: $ head(iris) Sepal.Length Sepal.Width Petal.Length Petal.Width Species 1 5.1 3.5 1.4 0.2 setosa 2 4.9 3.0 1.4

Dear R-helpers, when I have an R code chunk in a sweave file like this: <<>>= x <- 1:10 # this comment disapears x # this one does not! print(x) #mean mean(x) @ The first comment does not appear in the sweaved document, the second one does. How can this be? I have tried print=TRUE and keep.source=TRUE, but neither seem to affect this behavior. thanks, Remko

I'm using the 'cloud' function in the 'lattice' package to produce multi-panel 3D scatter plots. The range of the values used vary much between each panel (especially on the z axis), so I wish the axis limits to be calculated based on the (conditional) data. Here's a minimal example: library(lattice) z=1:200 x=runif(200) y=runif(200) s=factor(rep(c(1,2),each=100))

Full_Name: Karl Ove Hufthammer Version: 2.10.0 beta OS: Windows Submission from: (NULL) (93.124.134.66) When plotting a single POSIXct variable, 'plot' uses a nonsensical x axis. Here is some example code: set.seed(1) x=seq(1,1e8,length=100)+round(runif(100)*1e8) y=as.POSIXct(x,origin="2001-01-01") plot(y) The y axis correctly shows appropriate labels (years 2002 to 2006),

Dear R-helpers, thanks for yesterday's speeding-up tip. Here is my next query: I have lots of polygons (not necessarily convex ones, and they never have holes) given by x,y coordinates. I want to get the polygon that is the union of these polygons. This is my current method, but I am hoping there is a faster method (up to thousands of polygons, each with ca. 40 xy points). Example:

Dear list members I have a rather large vector (part of a data frame) giving the time (date + time, POSIXct) of observations. The times are irregular (with both small and large jumps) but increasing, and there are several millions of them. I now wish to reduce my data set, so that I only have observations which are at least (for example) 60 seconds apart. Basically, I need (all) the indices

Dear list, I am trying to use RGoogleDocs, but I am connecting through a proxy server. I know RCurl is used for the connection, which should be able to deal with proxies and such. How do I set this up for RCurl? And can I use those settings with RGoogleDocs as well? I have the name of the proxy server and the port number. (Windows XP). thanks, Remko

Dear R-helpers, apologies if this is somewhere in a manual, I have not been able to find anything relevant. I run Windows Vista. I have some Fortran code in a subroutine, and have no problem calling this from R with .Fortran, compiling the code either with 'R CMD SHLIB' or independently with gfortran. But is it possible to have more than one subroutine in my source file, one depending

Dear list members, I'm running some tests looking at differences between means for various levels of a factor, using Tukey's HSD method. I would like to plot the data as boxplots or dotplots, with horizontal significance lines indicating which groups are statistically significantly different, according to Tukey HSD. Here's a nice image showing an example of such a graphical

Dear all, I?m having some problems getting optim with method="Nelder-Mead" to work properly. It seems like there is no way of controlling the step size, and the step size seems to depend on the *difference* between the initial values, which makes no sense. Example: f=function(xy, mu1, mu2) { print(xy) dnorm(xy[1]-mu1)*dnorm(xy[2]-mu2) } f1=function(xy) -f(xy, 0,

Hi all, I am having some problems calling a python script from R that resides in a folder that is in the path (WindowsXP): > system("quickPadTool.py") Warning message: In system("quickPadTool.py") : quickPadTool.py not found # I also tried 'shell' (and shell.exec as well). > shell("quickPadTool.py") 'quickPadTool.py' is not recognized as an
