I'm sure this has gotten some attention before, but I have two CSV files generated from vmstat and free that are roughly 6-8 Mb (about 80,000 lines) each. When I try to use read.csv(), R allocates all available memory (about 4.9 Gb) when loading the files, which is over 300 times the size of the raw data. Here are the scripts used to generate the CSV files as well as the R code: Scripts (run

Hi - I have a dataframe of (x,y) values. I'd like to fit an exponential curve to the data for further statistical analysis (pretty much the same functionality provided by Excel's LOGEST worksheet array function). Can someone point me to the (set of) functions/ package that is best suited to provide this functionality? Admittedly, I am a novice in the use of R statistical functions,

Hello - I am making a first attempt at writing a simple C++ routine to print out R objects (this is a simple proof-of-concept as part of a larger package development). The relevant C++ routine is as follows: void Rwrite(SEXP fd, SEXP msg) { int *ofd = INTEGER(fd); const char * omsg = CHAR(asChar(msg)); printf("[%i] %s",*ofd,omsg); } And the corresponding interface in R is as

Hi, I understand this should be an easy task but I am still struggling a bit to read a .txt file with a date vector. My code is as below: data<-read.table(file.choose(),header=TRUE,sep="\t",dec=",",colClasses=c("Date","numeric","numeric","numeric")) But I am getting an error: Error in charToDate(x) : character string is not in a

Hello R users, Good day!! I was wondering if there is a way in R to read in a particular column from a tab-delimited file, edit it and write it back into the file with all other columns intact. When I say edit I mean just replacing all the values in that column. I know to read a particular column from a file using colClasses option in read.delim() function. Is there any such option to write out

Hi, I have a csv file with different datatypes: 2009-01-01, character1, 10, 20.1 2009-01-02, character2, 11, 21.1 (I have attached the file to this post) I read this file with read.zoo as I want a zoo/xts timeseries: > t = read.zoo("./data.txt", sep=",", dec = ".", header=FALSE) If I look at the zoo data all integer/numeric columns are read as character: >

Hi - I have attempted to use the fork::fork() function to perform parallel processing. However, the child R function called needs to know a given set of parameters to complete its task. Specifically, I iterate through a vector, and output values based on the elements of that vector to a database. The output strings contain elements of the iterated vector. I mocked-up the following code as an

Hi all, I am using R to extract data on a regular basis. However, sometimes using the same script and the same data I am getting different observation. The library I am using and how I am reading it is as follows. library(stringr) namelist <- file("Adress1.txt",encoding="ISO-8859-1") Name <- read.fwf(namelist, colClasses="character",

I'm trying to convert a column in a data frame with dates from a "Factor" type to a "Date Object" but I am encountering and error.

Hello I have a huge file (not an R-file) in which the first column is a string with date, hour, minutes and seconds (For instance, "31-Jul-2010 23:59:00"). I tried as.Date but the error msg was "Error in charToDate(x) : character string is not in a standard unambiguous format". I have checked the help for the function as well as date but to no avail. How can that sort

Passing in two dates to a sql statement (sqldf). Is returning a factor. Tried setting back to a Date via as.Date, but get an error the error: character string is not in a standard unambiguous format.

You need to provide reproducible data. What does the file contain? Why are you using 'sep=' when reading fixed format. You might be able to attach the '.txt' to your email to help with the problem. Also you did not state what the differences that you are seeing. So help us out here. Jim Holtman Data Munger Guru What is the problem that you are trying to solve? Tell me what

Hi R-experts, I have data from four conditions of an experiment. I tried to create four subsets of the data with read.table, for example, read.table("Experiment.csv",subset=(condition=="1")) . I found a similar post in the archive, but the answer to that post was no. Any new ideas about reading subsets of data with read.table? Thanks! Feng [[alternative HTML version

Gudday, I am generating a series of lattice contourplots that are conditioned on a variable (Year) that has 27 different levels. If I try and put them all on one plot, it ends up pretty messy and you can't really read anything, so instead I have set the layout to 3x3, thus generating three pages of nine plots each. The problem is that I can't display all these on screen at once, because
