similar to: interpreting date-related error message

Dear helpeRs- I'm using a for loop to create a series of models. I'm trying to assign a name to each model created, using the loop index. The loop gets stuck at the name of the model, giving the error "target of assignment expands to non-language object". The linear model runs without error; only the name is problematic. Here is the current loop syntax. The use of dat

Dear helpeRs, I have a dataframe (14947 x 27) containing measurements collected every 5 seconds at several different sampling locations. If one measurement at a given location is less than zero on a given day, I would like to delete all measurements from that location on that day. Here is a toy example: toy <- data.frame(CH = rep(3:5,3), DAY = c(rep(4,5), rep(5,4)), SLOPE =

Dear HelpeRs: I have a data set in the following format, which will be familiar to those of you working with NCDC climate data. Example: Year <- rep(1:3, each = 3) Year <- c(Year,Year) ID <- rep(1:2, each = 9) Jan <- runif(18, min = 0, max = 20) Feb <- runif(18, min = 0, max = 20) Mar <- runif(18, min = 0, max = 20) var <- gl(3,1,18,label =

Thank you, Marttila and Ivan, As the original author of prettyNum() {etc ..}, I will commit such a bug fix to R-devel (and probably port it to R 4.5.0 patched) quite soon (but not yet today).

Hello, helpeRs, I've been trying, unsuccessfully, to change a dataframe from long to wide format using reshape (the original). I would appreciate it if someone could demonstrate the correct syntax. The script below will create a toy example. The new wide data should have a column name for each unique entry in the "fame" column. Under each column should be either the

Hi! If I use format() on numeric vector, na.encode argument does not have any e= ffect. This was reported before: - https://stat.ethz.ch/pipermail/r-help/2007-October/143881.html - http://tolstoy.newcastle.edu.au/R/e2/devel/06/09/0360.html It works for other (say character) classes! > format(c("a", NA), na.encode=3DTRUE) [1] "a " "NA" >

R developers, Seems I get a bad result ("%#4.0-1e" in particular) when trying to use prettyNum digits=0 with scientific notation. I tried on both my Linux box and on an online R evaluator and saw the same problem, so it's not limited to my box at least. I see the problem in both R 3.5.3 and R 3.3.2. options(scipen=-100) prettyNum(1, digits=0) [1] "%#4.0-1e" prettyNum(2,

Dear list, I'd like to report a bug in `prettyNum()`. When called with a numeric vector, the `replace.zero` argument is disregarded. > prettyNum(0, zero.print = "- ", replace.zero = TRUE) [1] "-" Warning message: In .format.zeros(x, zero.print, replace = replace.zero) : 'zero.print' is truncated to fit into formatted zeros; consider 'replace=TRUE' A

Hi, I have some confusion in applying a function over a column. Here's my function. I just need to shift non-March month-ends to March month-ends. Initially I tried seq.dates, but one cannot give a negative increment (decrement) here. return(as.Date(seq.dates(format(xdate,"%m/%d/%Y"),by="months",len=4)[4]) ) Hence this simple function: > mydate <-

Dataframe cust has Date-type column open.date. I wish to set up another column, with (first day of) the quarter of open.date. To be comprehensive (of course, improvement suggestions are welcome), month = function(date) { return(as.numeric(format(date,"%m"))) } first.day.of.month = function(date) { return(date + 1 - as.numeric(format(date,"%d"))) } first.day.of.quarter =

FWIW, it doesn't seem to be happening on Mac OS: > format(2^30, digits=0) [1] "1.e+09" > prettyNum(12345.6, digits=0) [1] "1.e+04" A glibc misfeature? -pd > On 22 Mar 2019, at 10:10 , Martin Maechler <maechler at stat.math.ethz.ch> wrote: > > Thank you, Robert for raising this here ! > >>>>>> Robert McGehee

The format.info() function currently takes args (x, digits = NULL, nsmall = 0), while format.default() takes many more: function (x, trim = FALSE, digits = NULL, nsmall = 0, justify = c("left", "right", "centre", "none"), width = NULL, na.encode = TRUE, scientific = NA, big.mark = "", big.interval = 3, small.mark = "",

Hi there, I have been having trouble running negative binomial regression (glm.nb) using library MASS in R v2.15.0 on Mac OSX. I am running multiple models on the variables influencing the group size of damselfish in coral reefs (count data). For total group size and two of my species, glm.nb is working great to deal with overdispersion in my count data. For two of my species, I am getting a

Dear helpeRs, I am attempting to read in a series of csv files so I can bind them into one large dataframe. I have written the following script: test <- list.files(".", pattern = "csv") #lline 1 imp <- list() #line 2 for (i in 1:length(test)) { #line 3 imp[i] <- read.csv(test[i]) #line 4 }

Hi there, i'm not getting along with the following problem. I'd like to print a real number, e.g. x <- 12.3 with exactly two digits after the decimal point, e.g. 12.30 I've tried the whole format(), formatC() and prettyNum() functions but did not have any success with it. This should work with all real numbers, in case even with 0.0 (-> 0.00). For cracks this thing is pretty

Hello, helpeRs, I am attempting to reshape (either base R or package reshape) multiple .csv spreadsheets from a very unfortunate wide format to long format. ?Each spreadsheet looks something like this, after being read in to R: toy <- data.frame(year = rep(2007:2008,each = 20), month = rep(1:5,each = 4, length = 40), day = rep(1:2,each = 2,length = 40), hhmm = rep(1100:1101,length = 40),

Dear R help, In the middle of my session, I started receiving the error message "bad value" regardless of what I entered. I had to close R and restart it. When the error occurred, I was creating basic lattice plots, with no other add-on packages running.
