Hi, I have numerical variable that I want to recode into categories '0' and '1 and more' and do analysis with that data. I have tried various of possibilities to do so, but I am sucked and nothing is working. recode(Q12, "0='A';1:30='B'") cut(Q12, breaks=c(0,1,30), lables=c('0', '1 and more')) cat(Q12, "0=0;1-33=1") What should

My intention is to give a presentation about R programming language for software developers. I would like to ask, what are the things that make R different from other programming languages? What are the specific cases where Java/C#/Python developer might say "Wow, that was neat!"? What are the things that are easy in R, but very difficult in other programming languages (like Java)?

Dear Rusers, My question is about "recode variables". First, i'd like to say something about the idea of recoding: My dataset have three variables:type,soiltem and airtem,which means grass type, soil temperature and air temperature. As we all known, the change of air temperature is greater than soil temperature,so the values in those two different temperaturemay represent different

I know this comes up, but I didn't see my exact issue in the archives. I have variables in a dataframe that need to be recoded. Here is what I'm dealing with I have a factor called aa > class(aa) [1] "factor" > table(aa) aa * 0 1 2 3 A B C D L N T 0 0 1908 725 2089 0 0 67 0 0 2 1 6 I need to recode

Hi all I am trying to do a simple recode which I am stumbling on. I figure there must be any easy way but haven't come across it. Given data of A","B","C","D","E","A" it would be nice to recode this into say three categories ie A and B becomes "Treat1", C becomes "Treat 2" and E becomes "Treat 3". I tried

VAR 980490 Some people have suggested placing new limits on foreign imports in order to protect American jobs. Others say that such limits would raise consumer prices and hurt American exports. Do you FAVOR or OPPOSE placing new limits on imports, or haven't you thought much about this? 1. Favor 5. Oppose 8. DK 9. NA; RF 0. Haven't thought much about this I am trying to

I have a vector like this: a <- c("thisIsName", "thisIsAlsoName", "andThisName") How to break this into pieces and produce a vector with unique parts: this Is Name Also and This -J

Hi, as an R-beginner, I have a recoding problem and hope you can help me: I am working on a SPSS dataset, which I loaded into R (load("C:/...) I have 2 existing Variables: "ID" and "X" , and one variable to be computed: meanX.dependID (=mean of X for all rows in which ID has the same value) ID = subject ID. Since it is a longitudinal dataset, there are repeated

Greetings, I'm in the painful process of migrating from SAS to R. In the process I've discovered that there are some basic things that I am getting hung up on. The most basic is the simple recoding of variables. Suppose I create a vector x <- rnorm(10000) and I want to recode all values of x > 1.5 to NA. How would I do that in R? TIA Cheers, Patrick

Dear R-List, I would like to recode categorial variables into binary data, so that all values above median are coded 1 and all values below 0, separating each var into two equally large groups (e.g. good performers = 0 vs. bad performers =1). I have not succeeded so far in finding a nice solution to do that in R. I thought there might be a better way than ordering each column and recoding the

I am just beginning to use Sweave with Lyx on a Mac (R2.8.1). I have 12 chunks of Sweave code that work fine, but this piece: <<>>= library(car)

Thanks to the R creators for such a great statistical system. Thanks to the R help list, I have (finally) gotten far enough in R to have a question I hope to be worth posting. I'm using the recode function from John Fox's car package and have encountered some unexpected behavior. Consider the following example: ## Begin cut-and-paste example require( car ) set.seed(12345) nn <-

I would like to learn AsciiDoc. Is there any good examples how to use AsciiDoc with R? I know that there is packages called ascii to do this, but it would be nice to see some examples how AsciiDoc works with R. Is there an AsciiDoc distribution for Max OS X? -Johannes

Hi folks, I have five imputed data sets and would like to apply the same recoding routines to each. I could do this sort of thing pretty easily in Stata using MIM, but I've decided to go cold turkey on other stats packages as a incentive for learning more about R. Most of the recoding is for nominal variables, like race, religion, urbanicity, and the like. So, for example, to recode race

Dear R helpers, I have a data frame where missing values for numeric variables are coded as 999. I want to recode those as NAs. The following only partially succeeds because numeric variables are converted to character in the process: df <- data.frame(a=c(999,1,999,2), b=LETTERS[1:4]) is.na(df[2,1]) <- TRUE df a b 1 999 A 2 NA B 3 999 C 4 2 D is.numeric(df$a) [1] TRUE

Hi to all, I am having a problem when using recode from the car package. I have a variable that is char and when I use recode to create a new variable that is supposed to be numeric I get a factor variable. Here is the code I am using: > FCI$PRE1 <- recode (PRE1RES, " c('C', 'c')=1 ; else = 0 ; as.factor.result=FALSE ") So, if I understand correctly the recode

Hello, I am using the recode() function in Rcmdr and the result is not what I expect so I am almost sure I did something wrong but what... > test <- data.frame(x=1:10) > library(car) > recode(test$x,'1:5=0 ; else=1', as.factor.result=TRUE) [1] 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 Levels: 0 1 BUT > library(Rcmdr) # recode from the car package is now masked Now I recode test$x
