plm issues: error for "within" or "random", but not for "pooling"
Dear all I am working on unbalanced panel data and I can readily fit a "pooling" model using plm(), but not a "within" or "random" model. Reproducing the examples in vignette("plm") and in the AER package I encountered no such issues. ##unfortunately I cannot disclose the data, and it is too big anyway > dim(ibes.kld.exp.p[x.subs , ]) [1] 13189 34

panel regression with twoways random effects, on unbalanced data?
Dear R users What would be the best way to approach estimating a panel regression with twoways random effects, on unbalanced data? Unfortunately, the "plm" package has no implementation of twoways random effects for unbalanced data. Currently I'm considering two approaches: - extend "plm" to cover this type of panel regression. (For the authors, cc'ed:) Would

command to start R and Rcmdr?
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)'

plyr workaround to converting by() to a data frame
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) >

plyr: set '.progress' argument to default to "text"
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

sorting & subsetting a data.frame
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) &

round() a data frame containing 'character' variables?
Dear all It is difficult to use round(..., digits=2) on a data frame since one has to first take care to remove non-numeric variables such as 'character' or 'factor': > head(round(iris, 2)) Error in Math.data.frame(list(Sepal.Length = c(5.1, 4.9, 4.7, 4.6, 5, : non-numeric variable in data frame: Species > head(round(iris[1:4], 2)) Sepal.Length Sepal.Width Petal.Length

currency conversion function?
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 --

preferred x-delimited data format for R?
Dear all What is the preferred spreadsheet-like x-delimited data format for use with R? Should I prefer tab-, comma-, space- or some_other_delimitor-seprated data? I'm asking this because I've been once bitten by CSV data containing ` ' ' (apostrophe) symbols that R couldn't easily digest. Probably no the best approach, I've eventually inspected the document and removed

latex \subfloat{} incompatible with sweave/knitr code
Dear all Are LaTeX \subfloat{} commands incompatible with Sweave code? I cannot get the following code to compile properly: \begin{table} \subfloat[asdfa]{<<>>= 2+2 @ } \caption{asdf} \end{table} If I replace the Sweave chunk with a random string or a table, the compilation works fine. Any ideas what happens? I hit the same trouble when running the code chunks through knitr.
