Hello Everyone, I am an avid Sweave user and I am trying to pretty print floating point numbers for latex output. For example in my document, I would like: 4.2\cdot 10^-{8} Instead of: 4.2e-08 The Hmisc package has a nice function for doing this- but Hmisc has a ton of dependencies and has proved very unportable to the various machines I work on. So, I set out to write my own function that

Hello everybody, here is the code I use to read an excel file containing two rows, one of date, the other of prices: library(RODBC) z <- odbcConnectExcel("SPX_HistoricalData.xls") datas <- sqlFetch(z,"Sheet1") close(z) It works pretty well but the only thing is that the datas stop at row 7530 and I don?t know why datas is a data frame that contains 7531 rows with the

I read a table from Microsoft Access using RODBC. Some of the variables had a name with a space in it. R has no problem with it but I do. I cannot find out how to specify the space names(alltime) [1] "ID" "LVL7" "Ref Pv No" "Ref Pv Name" "DOS" "Pt Last Name" "Pt First Name" "MRN"

I am working on dumping raster data from R into PNG files using rasterImage(). I am working with a test matrix from the rasterImage() example and using it to produce a PNG image with the following code: # From the example for rasterImage(). A 3 pixel by 5 pixel b/w checkerboard. testImage <- as.raster(0:1, nrow=3, ncol=5) testImage [,1] [,2] [,3] [,4] [,5] [1,]

Hi, all, My objective is to split a dataframe named "cmbine" according to the value of "classes". After the split, I will take the first instance from each class and bin them into a new dataframe, "df1". In the 2nd iteration, I will take the 2nd available instance and bin them into another new dataframe, "df2". >cmbine$names apple tiger pencil chicken

Hi all (especially R-core) I suppose, With the introduction of the new functional programming functions into base I thought I'd ask for a Curry() function. I use a simple one that looks this: Curry = function(FUN,...) { .orig = list(...);function(...) do.call(FUN,c(.orig,list(...))) } This comes in really handy when using say, heatmap():

I noticed some undocumented and inconsistent behavior in device_Raster when a plot is produced with reflected axes such as: image(volcano, xlim = c(1,0), useRaster = TRUE) image(volcano, ylim = c(1,0), useRaster = TRUE) The `pdf` device will perform horizontal and vertical reflections, while `quartz` will ignore the transformations when plotting to the screen, but when plotting to a

Sorry, one more: on OSX, I deleted my old 2.9.2 R.app, and installed the 64 bit version of 2.9.0. I then did an "install.packages("car")" under my new 2.9.0. It seems to have worked, but alas, I still get an error that package 'car' was built under R version 2.9.2 . Where exactly does R under OSX install its packages? (is it a bug that another car is loaded?) PS:

Hello R developers, I sincerely apologize if the answer to this question is clearly documented somewhere, but I was unable to figure it out over my morning coffee. I just downloaded today's release of R 2.11.0 and installed it on my Windows 7 64 bit VM. I also downloaded the latest version of Rtools211 from Professor Murdoch's site. The first thing I attempted to do was build some of

While checking packages against R 2.13.0-beta on Windows, I have run into a few strange error messages related to copying files. The errors all relate to file.copy() and have the form of: Error in Sys.chmod(to[okay], file.info(from[okay])$mode, TRUE) : 'mode' must be of length at least one After half a day of tinkering, the best reproducible example I can come up with involves using

Hi all, I have looked around for help on creating GUIs for R, but haven't found anything. I would be interested in any advice or webpages that have information on the best language, tutorials etc. for creating simple GUIs. Mainly I want to do this as a heuristic exercise. Thanks for any help. Wade Wall [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Hi, I am trying to SSH to a remote server through R script. In other words, I would like to know how I can get a SSH connection to the remote server and then execute commands on that server with the R script. So in bash, I would normally type ssh -lusername remoteserver.com; press enter and then wait for the password prompt to key in my password. I have tried system("ssh

Hi, Is there any package out there that might help me with translating R code into MATLAB? Using RSiteSearch I found a bunch of "MATLAB stuff" but it all seems to go in the opposite direction, i.e., emulating MATLAB functions in R.

In R-devel (svn 49628) and back to at least R 2.7.0 we get inconsistent results when attempting to attach attributes to a variable with the value NULL. If we use attributes<- it finishes but changes the value to list(). > a<-NULL > attributes(a)<-list(attr1="First attribute", attr2=2+2i) > a list() attr(,"attr1") [1] "First

Hi all! The objective function I want to minimize contains about 10 to 20 variables, maybe more in the future. I never solved such problems in R, so I had no idea about the efficiency of R's optimization functions. I know doing loop in R is quite slow, so I am not sure whether this shortage influences the speed of R's optimization functions. I would be very appreciated if anyone could

can someone please help me with this problem. i found the density and distribution for the Kumar~(2.3,3.2), but now im stuck on the quantile. how do i determine the quantile for kumar with Inverse F(0.5). im trying to use qkumar(_,2.3,3.2). but im stuck on determing the probability vector. thanks :) -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Kumar-quantile-tp23580613p23580613.html
