Dear R-devel, I've made some potential extensions to writeForeignSAS in 'foreign' that I wanted to pass along if anyone is interested. I've attached the diff -u output against the version found in foreign_0.8-15 and an .R file with my changes. (In this .R file, the function is named writeForeignSAS7 to simplify testing/comparisons.) I've tried to alter the current

Dear all, First of all, I thank you for the creation of the package. I write this message concerning the write.foreign() function from the foreign package and a bug that I discovered. When we want to save our dataset as a .sas file, the limit of variable names character is 8 by default. In SAS this limit is 32 character and an argument in the function, validvarname, can theorically switch the

dear: when I read a Excel file(exp-11),The R project give me a error ,Just like this: ??'datafile' > write.foreign("exp-11.xls") ???list(df = df, datafile = datafile, codefile = codefile) : ??'datafile' > write.foreign("exp-11.xls") ???list(df = df, datafile = datafile, codefile = codefile) : ??'datafile' >

Hi, is there a way to retrieve the line number of where en error occurred when sourcing a file in a tryCatch statement? Is it stored somewhere accessible? It is not found in the error object. Consider the following code/output and note the difference in the traceback between source (has line number) and sys.source (has no line number). Thank you, Renaud ######## # code ######## codefile <-

... and is there also such a nice tool (like spss.get) for exporting data frames to SPSS? write.table does not keep the data frame labels - neither did the other exporting tools that I found. Thanks! Michael [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

I have an R script with the following applicable lines: xshort <- window(s, start=st, end=ed) . . . xshort <- ts(xshort, frequency=1, start=1) . . . m1 <- m2 <- m3 <- m4 <- m5 <- m6 <- NULL m1 <- tslm(xshort ~ trend) I get an error: Error in get(dataname) : object 'xshort' not found When I do traceback() I get: 3: get(dataname) 2: tslm(xshort ~

Hey everybody, i am using the rugarch-package and its great! I have a pretty easy problem, but i just dont get it, so thanks if you can help me. Normally i use: / data(DATANAME) spec = ugarchspec() fit = ugarchfit(data = x[,1], spec = spec) fit slotNames(fit) names(fit at fit) coef(fit) infocriteria(fit) likelihood(fit) nyblom(fit) signbias(fit) head(as.data.frame(fit)) head(sigma(fit))

I have been using R the past couple of years to run models on data we are collecting. I recently got a new computer and updated to a new version of R (2.60 -> 2.90). Since the update, I cannot get my syntax to run. I have tried copying the file it is looking for into many different directories to try and run it. In the last version, I found that it was easiest if the file was copied into the R

I am writing a function where the arguments are names of objects or variable names in a data frame. To convert the strings to the objects I am using eval(parse(text=name)): f.graph.two.vbs<-function(dataname,v1){ val<-paste(dataname,v1,sep="$") val<-eval(parse(text=val)) val } However running this returns an error:

The generic rule is that R is not a macro language, so looping of names of things gets awkward. It is usually easier to use compound objects like lists and iterate over them. E.g. datanames <- paste0("aa_", 2000:2007) datalist <- lapply(datanames, get) names(datalist) <- datanames col1 <- lapply(datalist, "[[", 1) colnum <- lapply(col1, as.numeric) (The 2nd

Hi R-users! Being new to R, and a fairly advanced Stata-user, I guess part of my problem is that my mindset (and probably my language as well) is wrong. Anyway, I have what I guess is a rather simple problem, that I now without success spent days trying to solve. I have a bunch of datasets imported from Stata that is labelled aa_2000 aa_2001 aa_2002, etc. Each dataset is imported as a matrix, and

Hi! Thanks for the replies! I understand people more accustomed to R doesn't like looping much, and that thinking about loops is something I do since I worked with Stata a lot. The syntax from Peter Dalgaard was really clever, and I learned a lot from it, even though it didn't solve my problem (I guess it wasn't very well explained). My problem was basically that I have a data matrix
