Hi, How to rbind these vectors from a list?: > l <- list(a = c(1, 2), b = c(1, 2, 3)) > l $a [1] 1 2 $b [1] 1 2 3 > do.call(rbind, l) [,1] [,2] [,3] a 1 2 1 b 1 2 3 Warning message: In function (..., deparse.level = 1) : number of columns of result is not a multiple of vector length (arg 1) > -J

Hello, Can anyone think of a non-iterative way to generate a decreasing geometric sequence in R? For example, for a hypothetical function dg, I would like: > dg(20) [1] 20 10 5 2 1 where I am using integer division by 2 to get each subsequent value in the sequence. There is of course: dg <- function(x) { res <- integer() while(x >= 1) { res <- c(res, x) x

Hello! I have something like this: test1 <- data.frame(intx=c(4,3,1,1,2,2,3), status=c(1,1,1,0,1,1,0), x1=c(0,2,1,1,1,0,0), x2=c(1,1,0,0,2,2,0), sex=c(0,0,0,0,1,1,1)) and I can easily fit a cox model: library(survival) coxph(Surv(intx,status) ~ x1 + x2 + strata(sex),test1) However, I want to

Hello, Is it possible to extend the R lexer/parser to include multiline comments like /* acomment */ ? This way I can integrate emacs org-mode with my R code, so that I can have a table of contents, section folding, html-output of source etc. e.g /* * Display Code */ #+BEGIN_SRC R foo <- function(...){ stuff } #+end_src and so on . Thanks Saptarshi

I have read the R manual and help archives, sorry but I'm still stuck. How would I do a t-test with an adjusted p-value? Suppose that I use t.test ( ) , with the function argument alternative = "two.sided", and data such that degrees of freedom = 20. The function calculates a t-statistic of 2.086, and p-value =0.05 How do I then adjust the p-value? My thought is to do

All, I installed R-2.10.1 with Readline=no. Now for some reason R does not recognize some key strokes like the directional arrows. I am not sure if Readline is the problem or not. I have tried .Cofigure with Readline = yes but it doesn't fix the problem nor do I really know if readline is the problem to start with. Has anybody else run into similar problems? Thanks, Steve [[alternative

Hi, Suppose a write a function a_fn<-function(arg1) { return(table(arg1)); } I have a column called AGE. Now I call the function c = a_fn(AGE); When a_fn is called, AGE is received in arg1. My question is, how do I access the actual name of the argument arg1? i.e, inside the function, i need to know that the actual name of arg1 is "AGE" in this case. Thanks in advance,

Is there a less cryptic way to compare three or more values? allTheSame<-c("red","red","red","red") notAllTheSame<-c(132,132,132,999) all.identical <- function(vectorToTest){ cIdentical=sum(vectorToTest %in% vectorToTest[1]) return(cIdentical==length(vectorToTest)) } all.identical(allTheSame) all.identical(notAllTheSame) Thanks in

Dear all, There have been a variety of discussions on the R list regarding the use of R in clinical trials. The following post from the STATA list provides an interesting opinion regarding why SAS remains so popular in this arena: http://www.stata.com/statalist/archive/2008-01/msg00098.html Regards, -Cody Hamilton

Hello everyone, I am attempting to write a function to count the number of non-missing values of each column in a data frame using the sapply function. I have the following code which is receiving the error message below. > n.valid<-sapply(data1,sum(!is.na)) Error in !is.na : invalid argument type Ultimately, I would like for this to be 1 conponent in a larger function that will produce

Dear all, I have a list like this: l <- list(list(a=1,b=NULL), list(a=2,b=2)) I want to find out the elements with value of NULL and replace them with NA. The actual case has a very long list, so manually find out and replace them is not an option. I can use for loop to do this, but I want to know if there is vectorized way (or other ways) to do it? Thanks -- Wincent Rong-gui HUANG Doctoral

Hello, If I want to see how, say, apply function is written, how would I be able to do that? Just typing "apply" at the prompt does not work. Thank you for help! Sergey

Hello, How would you go about handling the following situation? This is on R 2.12.0 on Ubuntu 32-bit. I have a wrapper function to lm. I want to pass in a subset argument. First, I just thought I'd use "...". ## make example reproducible set.seed(123) df1 <- data.frame(age = rnorm(100, 50, 10), bmi = rnorm(100, 30, sd = 2)) ## create a wrapper using

Hi, source(file,echo=T) will not echo the last comment in "file" if it is the last line in the file. For instance, when sourcing a file containing the following lines #comment 1 a<-1 #comment 2 R will echo > #comment 1 > a<-1 What is the solution to have R echo all of the comment lines? Specific context: This problem arises e.g. in the context of help files (.Rd) whose

Hi everyone, I have been merging many big dataframes (about 80000 rows each) and I never had this problem, but now it happened to me and I want to know if someone knows what could be happening. The final dataframe has many rows, an impossible number! I have done edit(dataframe) and I saw that there are many repeated rows (all equal). Thanks for any help, Cec?lia Carmo Universidade de

Is there a good strategy for testing examples which should not be run by default? For instance, I have examples which get data from the Internet. If I wrap them in try() then they can be skipped if the Internet is not available, but may not be tested in cases when I would like to know about the failure. (Not to mention that the example syntax is ugly.) If I mark them \dontrun or \donttest
