Hello, I have seen much discussion on Date. But I can't seem to do this simple operation. I can convert a string to a date: d <- as.Date(DATE, format="%m/%d/%Y") But what I want to do is extract the year and month so I can construct an element in a ts object. Ideally I would like to see d$year but that doesn't seem to be available. Once I have a Date object how can I get an

I have a command that reads in some data: x <- read.csv("Sales2007.dat", header=TRUE) Then I try to organize the data: sc <- split(x, list(x$Category, x$SubCategory), drop=TRUE) Then I want to iterate through the data. I was able to get the following to run on the R console: for(i in 1:length(sc)) { sum(sc[[i]]$Quantity) } But notiing is primted on the console. I find

I have two vectos (list) that represent a years of data. Each "row" is represented by the day of year and the quantity that was sold for that day. I would like to form a new vector that is the difference between the two years of data. A sample of A (and similarly B) looks like: > A[1:5,] DayOfYear x 1 1 1429 2 2 3952 3 3 3049 4 4 2844 5 5

Can someone enlighten me on why the following doesn't work? setwd('C:/Temp/R') d <- rep(1:53,2) (s <- ts(d, frequency=53, start=c(2000,10))) n <- length(s) k <- n%/%3 for(i in (n-k):n) { st <- c(start(s)[1] + (start(s)[2] + i)%/%frequency(s), (start(s)[2] + i) %% frequency(s)) ed <- c(start(s)[1] +

I have a beginner question. After I finally get the data to a data.frame that I can work with I have the following a data frame that is fairly long: > length(r2007) [1] 17409 If I look at the first element: > r2007[1] $`100009` DayOfYear Quantity 1 66 1 2 128 1 3 137 1 4 193 1 Now how do I get the length of this list (actually it is

I noticed that the text() command adds text to a plot. Is there a way to either make the plot blank or add text to a "blank sheet". I would like to "plot" a page that contains just text, no plot lines, labels, etc. Suggestions? Kevin [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Given a Date object or simply a year is there an R function to tell me if the it is a leap year or not? I was hoping for something like 'is.leapyear'. I probably can build my own function (year divisible by 4 etc.) but I would rather use an existing function if it is available. Thank you. Kevin

Why does: (shape/scale) * (1:365/scale)^(shape - 1) return a vector of numbers but calling a function hasard(1:365,shape,scale) defined like: hazard <- function(x,shape,scale) { return (shape/scale) * (x/scale)^(shape - 1) } Only return a single value? It is like x becomes a single value passed as an argument. Thank you. Kevin

>From what I read this should work. So please help my misunderstanding: > x <- data.frame(Name=c("A","A","C"), Category=c("a","a","b"), Quantity=c(1,2,3)) > x Name Category Quantity 1 A a 1 2 A a 2 3 C b 3 > aggregate(x,

I noticed that when I fit a linear model using 'lm' there is an attribute called "factors" that is added to the "term". It doesn't seem to appear for 'model.matrix', just 'lm'. I have been unable to find where it gets constructed or what it means? It looks like a two dimensional array that I may be able to use so I would just like to get some

I had a question about the basic power functions in R. For example from the R console I enter: -1 ^ 2 [1] -1 but also -1^3 [1] -1 -0.1^2 [1] -0.01 Normally pow(-1, 2) return either -Infinity or NaN. Has R taken over the math functions? If so I would think that -1^2 is 1 not -1 and -0.1^2 is 0.01 not -0.01. Thank you. Kevin

I have mange to use the library reshape to give me data structures that I want. Specifically: m2008 <- melt(t2008, id.var=c("DayOfYear","Category","SubCategory","Sku"), measure.var=c("Quantity")) m2007 <- melt(t2007, id.var=c("DayOfYear","Category","SubCategory","Sku"),

I have a set of data that is basically sales figures for a given year. It has columns for Yeaqr, Day Of Year, Sku, SubCatetory, and Category. The first few lines of data look like: Year DayOfYear Sku Quantity CatId Category SubCategory 1 2007 1 100091 1 10862 HOLIDAY Christmas 2 2007 1 100138 1 11160 PET COSTUMES Famous

I am trying to upgrade to R 2.14 from R 2.13.1 I have compied all the libraries from the 'library' directory in my existing installation (2.13.1) to the installed R 2.14. Now I want to uninstall the old installation (R 2.13.1) and I get the error: Internal Error: Cannot find utCompiledCode record for this version of the uninstaller. Any ideas?

I have some data that I read in via read.csv: sales2007 <- read.csv("Total2007.dat", header=TRUE) The data looks like: > sales2007[1:605,] Year DayOfYear Sku Quantity CatId Category SubCategory 1 2007 1 100091 1 10862 HOLIDAY Christmas 2 2007 1 100138 1 11160 PET COSTUMES Famous (Licensed) 3 2007

I have a list that is generated from the resape package function 'cast'. It consists of three columns, Sku, DayOfYear, variable it is generated like: r2007 <- cast(m2008, DayOfYear ~ variable | Sku, sum) Now DayOfYear can range from 1:365 but there are not necessarily that many rows in the list. What I want to do is make every row in the list of lenght 365 and have the values

This may be a begining question. If so, please bear with me. If I have some data that based on the historgram and other plots it "looks" like a beta distribution. Is there a function or functions within R to help me determine the model parameters for such a distirbution? Similarily for other "common" distirbutions, Poisson(lambda), Chi-Square(degrees of freedom, chi-square

I give up. Maybe it is my search (Windows) but I cannot seem to find the definition of the F77_CALL or F77_NAME macros. Either there are too many matches or the search just doesn't find it. For example where is the source for: F77_CALL(dpotri) ? Thank you. Kevin

Hello, I asked a question about what the most likely process to follow if after a time-series fit is performed the residuals are found to be non-normal. One peron responded and offered to help if I supplied a sample data set. Unfortunately now that I have a sample I have lost the emai addressl. If you are that person or have some ideas please email me back at rkevinburton at charter.net. Thank
