Dear group, I know this issue has been already covered, and before you reply I must say I have read the R-FAQ and search the mailing list archive. I still can't manage to change my factor to numeric as I couldn't find any clear answer.

Dear group, I am trying to write functions, but as a beginner, everything is not so obvious. Let's say I want the results in a list of elemts like this : tot1, tot2, etc Here is a function: toto <- function(x,y) { for(i in x:y){ paste(c("tot",i),collapse="")<-(i*2) } } If I type this : >toto(1,5) I get this message error: Error in paste(c("tot",

Found this solution. It is maybe not the most elegant way, but it does the job. > a=as.data.frame(substr(lme$DESCRIPTION,1,14)) > colnames(a)=c("DESCRIPTION") > lme=as.data.frame(c(a,lme[,2:3])) > lme DESCRIPTION CLOSING.PRICE POSITION 1 PRIMARY NICKEL 25,755.7100 0 2 PRIMARY NICKEL 25,760.8600 0 3 PRM HGH GD ALU 2,415.9000 0

I am interested in testing two similar nls models to determine if the lines are statistically different when fitted with two different data sets; one corn, another soybean. I know I can do this in linear models by testing for interactions. See Introductory Statistics with R by Dallgaard p212-218 for an example. I have two different data sets I am comparing to lai. ci.re should have very

Dear R-list, Is there any way I can extract part or whole column name from two variables and combine them? Not values, but column names. For example, I have data set with 70 variables. The column names are "Alfalfa", "Corn","Soybean",..."Sunflower". After I combine the two variable (say Alfalfa and Corn), I want to rename it as "AlfCor" or

Hello Everyone,   Learning about R and its wonderful array of functions. If it's not obvious, I usually try to find out what a function stands for. I think this helps me remember better.   One function that has me stumped is "sink." Can anyone tell me if this stands for something?   Thanks,   Paul         __________________________________________________ [[alternative HTML

Hi List l am interested in developing price model. I have found a research paper related to price model of corn in US market where it has taken demand & supply forces into consideration. Following are the equation: Supply equation: St= a0+a1Pt-1+a2Rt-1+a3St-1+a5D1+a6D2+a7D3+U1 -(1) Where D1,D2,D3=Quarterly Dummy Variables(Since quarterly data are considered) Here, Supply
