similar to: Is there an variant of apply() that does not return anything?

For a long time I've wanted a way to conveniently extract multiple elements from a list, which [[ doesn't allow. Can anyone suggest an efficient function to do this? Wouldn't it be a sensible addition to R? For example, alist <- list() alist[[1]] <- list() alist[[1]]$name <- "first" alist[[1]]$vec <- 1:4 alist[[2]] <- list() alist[[2]]$name <-

Hi, I am wondering if some experienced users would help put the ready-to-run code of the examples in the manuals. It would help new users learn R faster by putting all the examples in an ready-to-run R script file. Can somebody help do so sometime and post the code along with the pdf manuals? http://cran.r-project.org/manuals.html Regards, Peng

I need to get the names of the list elements when I iterate over a list. I'm wondering how to do so? alist=list(a=c(1,3),b=c(-1,3),c=c(-2,1)) sapply(alist,function(x){ #need to use the name of x for some subsequent process })

I don't find a function to print a string to file. Would somebody let me know what function I should use?

Some examples in the help page are too long to be copied from screen. Could somebody let me know some easy way on how to extract the example to a file so that I can play with them?

Hi, I am wonder if there is a function similar 'apply' but it could accept multiple arguments? For example, I have the following matrix. x=matrix(1:6,nr=2) y=matrix(1:6,nr=2) I want to find a function that can be used to compute the linear regression for each pair of rows in the two matrices? multiple_apply(x,y,1,function(u,v){lm(u ~ v)} That is, I wound like something like the above

Hi, I run the following script. I don't understand why the second 'length(args)' does not show anything but the first one shows '0'. Is it because the command 'q()' affects anything in the if-statement. However, if I change the second 'length(args)' to 'print(length(args))', the script will print the length of 'args'. Can somebody let me know

I found this paper on ANOVA on unequal error variance. Has this be incorporated to any R package? Is there any textbook that discuss the problem of ANOVA on unequal error variance in general? http://www.jstor.org/stable/2532947?cookieSet=1

Hi, I'm learning the tutorial. http://llvm.org/docs/tutorial/ I'm wondering if there is already a git repository of the examples in the tutorial so that I don't have to copy the code from the webpage. Thanks! -- Regards, Peng

Hi, > x=c(rep(1,3),rep(3,2)) > x [1] 1 1 1 3 3 > duplicated(x) [1] FALSE TRUE TRUE FALSE TRUE > As shown in the above code, 'duplicated' doesn't return 'F' for the first '1' and first '3' in 'x'. I am wondering if there is a function that can return an indicator for any element whether it appears in a vector twice or more. Regards, Peng

Hi, I don't quite understand what are the return values of aov. I know that it has 'coefficients'. But I need to know what all the other return values are. Can somebody let me know how to figure them? Value: An object of class 'c("aov", "lm")' or for multiple responses of class 'c("maov", "aov", "mlm",

I can exclude columns by column number using '-'. But I wondering if there is an easy way to exclude some columns by column names. > x=cbind(c(1,2),c(3,4)) > x [,1] [,2] [1,] 1 3 [2,] 2 4 > colnames(x)=c('a','b') > x a b [1,] 1 3 [2,] 2 4 > x[,-'a'] Error in -"a" : invalid argument to unary operator > x[,-1] [1] 3 4

Hi, I am wondering how to pop up the graphics window from Rscript. I run the following code, but I don't see the graphics window, even transiently. Regards, Peng $ Rscript plot.R > x=1:10 > y=1:10 > plot(x,y) >

Is there a way of getting the argument list of a function from within that function? For example, something like f <- function(x, y = 3) { fargs <- getFunctionArgList() print(fargs) ## Should be `alist(x, y = 3)' } Thanks, -roger

Hi, I have llvm installed through MacPorts. But I don't see macports installed. Are there supposed to be manpages of commands like lli installed? -- Regards, Peng

Hi, There are quiet a few different 'apply' functions, such as lapply, sapply and many more. I'm very familiar with the 'Apply' function in Mathematica. Can somebody point me a summary of all the 'apply' functions in R. Also, I'm curious that what 'l' and 's' (and other prefixes) stand for in 'lapply' and 'sapply' Regards, Peng
