Dear all I'd like to make a beeping sound in R, but alarm() doesn't beep? I checked ?alarm but I couldn't find any pointers to system configuration. Any ideas? Regards Liviu > sessionInfo() R version 2.14.2 (2012-02-29) Platform: x86_64-pc-linux-gnu (64-bit) locale: [1] LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 LC_NUMERIC=C [3] LC_TIME=en_US.UTF-8 LC_COLLATE=en_US.UTF-8 [5]

Dear all, I installed the amd64 cran2deb [1] JGR binaries on a fresh Debian testing, and JGR is missbehaving. When JGR starts up, one core of the CPU goes to 100% and stays there, even though I am keeping it idle and not performing any operation. I tried JGR with both sun-java6-jdk and openjdk-6-jdk, debian-liv:/home/liviu# update-alternatives --config java There are 4 choices for the alternative

Dear all, Given the following vector: > (z <- c('R project', 'hello world', 'something Else')) [1] "R project" "hello world" "something Else" I know how to obtain all capitals or all lower case letters: > tolower(z) [1] "r project" "hello world" "something else" > toupper(z) [1] "R

Dear all This may be obvious, but I cannot get it working. I'm trying to subset & sort a data frame in one go. x <- iris x$Species1 <- as.character(x$Species) ##subsetting alone works fine with(x, x[Sepal.Length==6.7,]) ##sorting alone works fine with(x, x[order(Sepal.Length, rev(sort(Species1))),]) ##gets subsetted, but not sorted as expected with(x, x[(Sepal.Length==6.7) &

Dear R users I would like to do some spreadsheet style expansion of dates. For example, I would need to obtain a vector of months. I approached in an obviously wrong way: > paste(01:12) [1] "1" "2" "3" "4" "5" "6" "7" "8" "9" "10" "11" "12" > as.Date(paste(01:12),

Dear all I'm unable to find an example of extracting the rotated scores of a principal components analysis. I can do this easily for the un-rotated version. data(mtcars) .PC <- princomp(~am+carb+cyl+disp+drat+gear+hp+mpg, cor=TRUE, data=mtcars) unclass(loadings(.PC)) # component loadings summary(.PC) # proportions of variance mtcars$PC1 <- .PC$scores[,1] # extract un-rotated scores of

Dear all Is there any R function that would perform currency conversion using up-to-date exchange rates? I would be looking for a function that allows to download recent exchange rates (say, from Yahoo!) and then use these in converting currencies (say, USD to EUR). I am not sure whether r-sig-finance would be more appropriate, but the (off-)topic feels general enough to me. Thank you Liviu --

Dear all How does one convert a "non-symmetric" list to a vector? See below: > x <- list() > x[[1]] <- letters[1:5] > x[[2]] <- letters[6:10] > x[[3]] <- letters[11:12] > x [[1]] [1] "a" "b" "c" "d" "e" [[2]] [1] "f" "g" "h" "i" "j" [[3]] [1] "k"

Dear all I would like to start R with Rcmdr from the cli, without tweaking Rprofile.site. This has been discussed in the past [1], but I don't see a solution that (1) could be used with any working directory and (2) would avoid starting Rcmdr on every R start-up. Personally I tried the following, which starts R but not Rcmdr liv at liv-laptop:~$ R --interactive -e 'require(Rcmdr)'

Dear all, I'm trying to gsub() "%" with "\%" with no obvious success. > temp1 <- c("mean", "sd", "0%", "25%", "50%", "75%", "100%") > temp1 [1] "mean" "sd" "0%" "25%" "50%" "75%" "100%" > gsub("%",

Hi all, I recently started learning about Forex and found this O'Reilly book in Barnes & Nobles about R. I bought it out of pure curiosity. I like what I see. However, I have a question. Has anyone tried to bring these two ideas together in a financial and trading sense? Are there any libraries or modules in R that can aid in this venture? --Yves [[alternative HTML version

Dear experts, I would like to be able to interactively (if possible, with mouse and clik) edit point labels in graphs, particularly in multivariate graphs, such as the biplots you get after a correspondence analysis (with, for example, package ca), where labels tend to overlap. The graph aspect ratio is relevant (it needs to be mantained). And I'm working with Windows XP. In this kind of

Hello Rusers, I have worked on a R Wiki page for solutions in exporting R graphs, especially, the often-asked questions: - How can I export R graphs in vectorized format (EMF) for inclusion in MS Word or OpenOffice outside of Windows? - What is the best solution(s) for post-editing/annotating R graphs. The page is at: http://wiki.r-project.org/rwiki/doku.php?id=tips:graphics-misc:export. I

Dear all I have a 'character' vector containing mixed formats (thanks Excel!) and I'd like to translate it into a default "%Y-%m-%d" Date vector. x <- c("1/3/2005", "13/04/2004", "2/5/2005", "2/5/2005", "7/5/2007", "22/04/2004", "21/04/2005", "20080430", "13/05/2003",

Dear all Is there a clean plyr version of the following by() and do.call(rbind, ...) construct: > df<-data.frame(a=1:10,b=11:20,c=21:30,grp1=c("x","y"),grp2=c("x","y"),grp3=c("x","y")) > dfsum<-by(df[c("a","b","c")], df[c("grp1","grp2","grp3")], range) >

Dear all Is it possible to set globally the option .progress = "text" to all the apply functions in 'plyr'. For example, current default is daply(..., .progress = "none"). I would like to set it to daply(..., .progress = "text"), so as to avoid writing the argument every time I call such a function. I looked into ?daply and ?create_progress_bar without much

Dear all I'm using Xubuntu Lucid and I keep getting the same random numbers whenever I start a new session of R. For example, I keep getting > sample(1:1000, 1) [1] 87 or > rnorm(1:10) [1] -1.3618103 0.4241701 1.0720076 0.2208145 -0.5375314 -0.4846588 [7] 0.7576768 0.6527407 -0.6868786 0.8718527 I expected that some set.seed() instruction woudl be present in a config file in

Dear all What is the easy way to drop a variable by using its name (and not its number)? Example: > data(iris) > 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 0.2 setosa 3 4.7 3.2 1.3 0.2 setosa 4 4.6 3.1

Dear all ?Hmisc::rcorr states that it takes as main argument "a numeric matrix". But is it normal that it fails in such an ugly way on a data frame? (See below.) If the function didn't attempt any conversion to a matrix, I would have expected it to state that in the error message that it didn't accept 'data.frame' objects in its input. Also, I vaguely remember having used

Dear all How does print.htest display the p-value in scientific notation? > (x <- cor.test(iris[[1]], iris[[3]])) Pearson's product-moment correlation data: iris[[1]] and iris[[3]] t = 21.65, df = 148, p-value < 2.2e-16 alternative hypothesis: true correlation is not equal to 0 95 percent confidence interval: 0.8270 0.9055 sample estimates: cor 0.8718 Above the p-value comes
