Dear list, I have two vectors: x <- c("one","two") y <- paste(rep(x,2),"blah") I want to replace all occurrences of each element of x in y with something else, so that y looks like this: y [1] "something else blah" "something else blah" "something else blah" [4] "something else blah" I can do this using a loop: for (

Dear list, I would like to start some R workshops at King's College London, and to do so, I would like to use the "Use R!" logo at http://www.agrocampus-ouest.fr/math/useR-2009//useR%21%202008_fichiers/useR-middle.png Since it seems to be difficult to get a shell account at KCL, I also went ahead and registered use-r.org.uk and am starting to put together a website at

Dear list, I have data like this: dat1 <- data.frame(subject=rep(1:10,2), cond1=rep(c("A","B"),each=5), cond2=rep(c("C","D"),each=10), choice=sample(0:1,10,replace=TRUE)) I would like to compare subjects' "choice" for (cond1=="A" & cond2=="C") vs

Dear Rers, I have a function to barplot() a matrix, eg myfun <- function(x, ...) { barplot(x , ... )} (The real function is more complicated, it does things to the matrix first.) So I can do: m1 <- matrix(1:20,4) myfun(m1) myfun(m1, main="My title") I'd like to be able to add the number of rows of the matrix passed to the function to the "..." argument, eg

I have two lists of the same shape, like this: x <- list() x[[1]] <- c("one","two") x[[2]] <- c("three","four","five") y <- list() y[[1]] <- c(TRUE,FALSE) y[[2]] <- c(FALSE,TRUE,TRUE) I would like to index x "by" y, that is, the result in this case should be: z [[1]] [1] "one" [[2]] [1] "four"

Dear list, I have a file that is comma delimited but contains some erroneous non-delimiter commas. I would like to replace these commas with semicolons and then read the correct file into R as a data frame. I want to do this from within R, without changing the original data file. My current idea of how to do this would be to use system("sed ...") and feed the result to read.csv(), but

Dear R users, I create a graphic with two plots side by side using layout(), like this: layout(matrix(c(1,2),1)) plot(1:10,main="left plot") lines(c(3:7,7:3),col="red") plot(10:1,main="right plot") The lines() obivously get added to the "left plot" plot. Now, I'm trying to write a function that builds up a plot bit by bit to then include it in a

If I have a data frame where a species occupies several rows with different phases such as (both col's ar factors): species,phase Populus tremula,1 Populus tremula,2 Populus tremula,3 Calluna vulgaris,1 Calluna vulgaris,2 Betula alba,1 Betula alba,2 Betula alba,3 Primula veris,1 Primula veris,2 and another df where each species only have one row: species,growth_form Populus tremula,tree Acer

Dear list, I've written a function that plots subjects. Something like: myplot <- function(subject) { plot(subject) } Subjects are vectors, e.g. ... s1 <- c(200,200,190,180) ... and plotting them works fine, e.g. ... myplot(s1) Now I want to have "s1" etc appear in the plot title, but I don't know how to refer to this generically (the object "name"? I tried

Hi list, I have data in a dataframe t1, with a column for different amounts spent, a column what it was spent on, and a column with dates, from which I create a new column with months. Example: amount <- rep(c(10,20,30),3) what <- rep(c("food","books","cycling"),3) when <- c(rep("2008-09-05",5),rep("2008-10-07",4)) t1 <-

Is there any function to show the points like this example of SPSS? http://biostatistic.de/temp/reg.jpg The point size should represent the number of data at this point. with regards Knut Krueger

Hello to all is there a function wich splits a data.frame (column1,column2,column3,....) into data1 <-(column1,column3....) #column2 = 1 data2 <-(column1,column3....) #column2 = 2 data3 <-(column1,column3....) #column2 = 3 ... Regards Knut

Dear All, I have a data frame with 5 column and 201 row data. I want to add one more column between column 1 and 2 with value of 1. So the new column has to be the second column filled with 1. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks for your time. Thanks & Rg Mohan L

Is there any possibility to get high resolution plots in a windows xp system? I tried it with the device function png(filename = "c:/r/highresplot%d.png",pointsize=12, res=900) but when I try to set: width = 480, height = 480 or pointsize = 12, the text is not scaled in the same way as the plots. with regards Knut Krueger http://www.biostatistic.de

Hi to all I need a string like temp <- paste("m1","m2","m3",sep=",") But i must know how many items are in the string,afterwards the other option would be to use a vector temp <- c("m1","m2","m3") No problem to get the count of items but I must get afterwards the string "m1,m2,m3" No problem to build the

Hello, I am doing a if else statement in R. But it always comes out error such as 'unexpected symbol' There are two variables. ini and b. when ini=1, a=3; when ini>1 and b>2, a=3; all other situations, a=6. I don't know where it is wrong. Here is my code ini=3 b=4 if (ini==1) { a=3 } else if (ini>1 and b>2 ) { a=3 } else {a=6} Thanks a

Dear R users: Maybe it is a silly question, but I'm don't understand what am I doing wrong. In a new karmik koala ubuntu installation I compile the last patched 2.10.1 version of R. Every thing was right (I install all the dev libraries I need). First I type: ./configure --enable-R-shlib And I obtain: R is now configured for i686-pc-linux-gnu Source directory: .

Dear R list, For some reason I am unable to access neither search.r-project.org, nor http://finzi.psych.upenn.edu/ so I cannot search the archives for a possible answer (I Googled for this but didn't find anything). Is it possible to draw barplots using a texture instead of colors, for a black and white printer? TIA, Adrian -- Adrian Dusa Arhiva Romana de Date Sociale Bd. Schitu

If there is a helpfile open (f.e ?glm) and it is the top window, then an exception error occurs (closing RGUI) when I hit the open file button. If the helpfile is not the top window (of the RGUI) I am able to open a new script without any error. The RGUI is not closing complete there is a blank screen left which I have to close with the X Button or Taskmanager Windows XP Home - German Version
