Hello! I am aggregating using a formula in aggregate - of the type: aggregate(cbind(var1,var2,var3)~factor1+factor2,sum,data=mydata) However, I actually have an object (vector of my variables to be aggregated): myvars<-c("var1","var2","var3") I'd like my aggregate formula (its "cbind" part) to be able to use my "myvars" object. Is it

Dear List, I have Multi-level Data i= Indivitual Level g= Group Level var1= First Variable of interest var2= Second Variable of interest and I want to count the frequency of "var1" and "var2" on the group level. I found a way, but there must be a much simpler way. data.ml <- data.frame(i=c(1:8),g=as.factor(c(1,1,1,2,2,3,3,3)),var1=c(3,3,3,4,4,4,4 ,4),

Hi, I am using R 1.9.1 on on i686 PC with SuSE Linux 9.0. I have a data.frame, e.g.: > myData <- data.frame( var1 = c( 1:4 ), var2 = c (5:8 ) ) If I add a new column by > myData$var3 <- myData[ , "var1" ] + myData[ , "var2" ] everything is fine, but if I omit the commas: > myData$var4 <- myData[ "var1" ] + myData[ "var2" ] the name

Hi all, I have been trying to solve this problem and have had no luck so far. I have numeric vectors VAR1, VAR2, and VAR3 which I am trying to cbind. I also have a character vector "VAR1,VAR2,VAR3". How do I manipulate this character vector such that I can input a transformed version of the character vector into cbind and have it recognize that I'm trying to refer to my numeric

Buenas noches Javier y José, Estoy en contra de usar attach(), asi que propongo la siguiente alternativa con with(): # paquete require(epicalc) # los argumentos en ... pasan de epicalc:::cc # ver ?cc para mas informacion foo <- function(var1, var2, var3, ...){ or1 <- cc(var1, var2, ...) or2 <- cc(var1, var3, ...) list(or1 = or1, or2 = or2) } # datos x <-

I would like to know how to turn a variable into a string. I have tried as.symbol and as.name but it doesnt work for what I'd like to do Essentially, I'd like to feed the function below with two variables. This works fine in the bit working out number of elements in each variable. In the print(sprintf("OK with %s and %s\n", var1, var2)) line I would like var1 and var2 to be

I am new to R and new to time series modeling. I have a set of variables (var1, var2, var3, var4, var5) for which I have historical yearly data. I am trying to use this data to produce a prediction of var1, 3 years into the future. I have a few basic questions: 1) I am able to read in my data, and convert it to a time series format using 'ts.' data_ts <- ts(data, start = 1988, end =

HI R help, I was trying to get identical data frame from a list using two methods. #Suppose my list is: listdat1<-list(rnorm(10,20),rep(LETTERS[1:2],5),rep(1:5,2)) #Creating dataframe using cbind dat1<-data.frame(do.call("cbind",listdat1)) colnames(dat1)<-c("Var1","Var2","Var3") #Second dataframe conversion

Can someone please give me a clue how to 're'write this so I dont need to use loops. a<-ts(matrix(c(1,1,1,10,10,10,20,20,20),nrow=3),names=c('var1','var2','var3')) b<-ts(matrix(c(2,2,2,11,11,11,21,21,21),nrow=3),names=c('var1','var2','var3'))

Dear Colleagues, Apologies for a long email to ask what I feel may be a very simple question; I figure it's better to overspecify my situation. I was asked a question, recently, by a colleague in my department about pre-aggregating variables, i.e., computing the mean of defined subsets of a data frame. Naturally, I thought of the 'by' and 'tapply' functions, as

Hello everyone, I am looking at the joint spatial distribution of 2 kinds of organisms (estimated on a grid of points) and want to test for significant association or dissociation. My first question is: do you know a nice technique to do that, considering that I have a limited number of points (36) but that they are repeated (4 times)? I did GLMs to test for correlations between the

Hello, I would like to know if this behaviour in R is as expected. I have a data frame 'dat' with column var1 being character (and not factor). Then I create a new column 'var2' by: > dat[,"var2"] <- dat$var1; Column var2 is now a factor. But if I do: > dat$var2 <- dat$var1; Then column var2 is character (and not factor). I don't want to have

Hi :-) I'm new to R and I started using it for a project (I'm the CS guy in a group of statisticians helping them find out how to solve issues as they come out). This is my first post to the list and I am starting to learn R. Well, they were used to doing MCA analysis in other programs where the data seems to be preprocessed automatically before running MCA. So, they need to process a

Carlos, en principio si sería algo así, sólo que en vez de quedarme con todas las columnas var1 a var4 tuviera sólo 3, ya que en mis datos no hay ningún caso que tenga el valor 1 en más de 3 variables.. Había llegado a una solución (mucho menos elegante que usando reshape), que implicaba un for sobre las filas. Jorge, creo que tu solución me vale. Muchas gracias a los dos.. Saludos El

Estimados Estoy entrenando hacer funciones que respondan a comandos, en esta caso en la salida gráfica se observa que dice : Exposure=var3 y outcome=var 1 quisiéramos que se reflejan los nombres de la base de datos : var1=estado, var2=cake, var3=chocolate Espero haberme explicado adecuadamente Adjunto tabla con datos #################################### #Comando que llama

Hello! # I have 3 vectors of values: values1<-rnorm(10) values2<-rnorm(10) values3<-rnorm(10) # In real life, all 3 vectors have a length of 25 # I create all possible combinations of 4 based on 10 elements: mycombos<-expand.grid(1:10,1:10,1:10,1:10) dim(mycombos) # Removing rows that contain pairs of identical values in any 2 of these columns: mycombos<-mycombos[!(mycombos$Var1

Hi, I have two datasets stored in tab-separated format in the following way file1: country year1 year2 Germany var1 var1 Hungary var1 var1 file2: country year1 year2 Germany var2 var2 Hungary var2 var2 I can easily read in these files, but how can I merge them as a panel dataset? Thanks, Viktor

I'm trying to create a dotplot with some grouping. I've been able to create what I want using dotchart (basic graphics), but can't quite get it using dotplot (lattice). I prefer to use lattice (or ggplot2) because I think it's a bit easier to control some other aspects of the plot appearance. Basically, w/ lattice I've not been able to get the y-axis label to include the
