Hi, I'm trying to use read.fwf temp = read.fwf ("Raw data.txt", widths = c (11, 21, 10, rep (16, 6)) ,skip = 2, n = 2, stringsAsFactors = FALSE, strip.white = TRUE) but no matter what I do the strings are turned into factors. I believe it's the "n=2" parameter that causes the problem as it seems to work without this. Am I missing something? Thanks in advance,

Hi I'm having a problem using the zoo library and I can't see what I'm doing wrong. For example setting up the data > t1 = zoo (matrix (1:12, nrow = 3), order.by = as.Date (c("2008-08-01","2008-08-02","2008-08-03"))) > colnames (t1) = c ("A", "B", "C", "D") > t2 = zoo (matrix (1:12, nrow = 3), order.by =

Hi, Using the Rconsole file I can specify the size and location of the Rgui windows on NT. e.g. # Dimensions (in characters) of the console. rows = 51 columns = 100 How can I specify the size of the help windows that popups when I ask for help? e.g. '?help' I would like the popup window to have say rows = 51 and columns = 100, just like the main window but a different location on the

I am new in R. Can anyone tell : 1. how we can write our own functions in R ? 2. how we can save those functions and recall to use them? 3. what extensions are used for saving a file? -- Siddharth Arun, 4th Year Undergraduate student Industrial Engineering and Management, IIT Kharagpur [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Dear readers, There is a combination of keys that I have (on several occasions now) typed by accident into R (2.10.0) which removes all the objects in the environment, and clears the console, as though I had typed rm(list=ls()). Unfortunately I don't know what the combination of keys are, so I am struggling to find out more about this behaviour on my own and I was hoping that someone has

Dear all, Does anyone have any idea on how to speed up the for() loop below. Currently it takes approximately 2 minutes and 30 seconds. Because of the size of Nsim and N, simulating a multivariate normal (instead of simulating Nsim times a vector of N normal distributions) would require too much memory space. Many thanks for your kind help, Simona N=3000 PD=runif(N,0,1) cutoff.=qnorm(PD)

Hi All, I've been fiddling around with various ways to estimate the popularity of R, SAS, SPSS, Stata, JMP, Minitab, Statistica, Systat, BMDP, S-PLUS, R-PLUS and Revolution R. It's not an easy task. You can see what I've come up with so far at http://r4stats.com/popularity . I'm sure people will have plenty of ideas on how to improve this, so please let me know what you think.

Hi all, I have two questions. Can some one give some help? The first question is regarding the pair of operators "&" and "&&". What is the difference between the two? The second question is regarding "<-" and "=". Usually we use "<-" as the assignment operator. I saw some people use "=". Is there any

Hi, Just wondering whether anyone had thought about moving the R sources to a "distributed" version control system such as Bazaar, Git or Mercurial. These new generation systems make it easier to work on feature branches, allow working offline, are very fast, etc. Some projects that have moved to Git are Linux Kernel Perl Ruby on Rails ... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Git_(software)

Hi, all, This isn''t about rspec, but this list has people whose opinions I respect. So, I''m looking for a new version control system for my local development. I was going to install subversion, but I''ve heard rumors of people using some newer ones. Thoughts? I''d like to be able to run it either locally or on a home server. If I run it off a home server, then

Hello all, I wish to learn a version control system for managing my R (data analysis) projects. I know of SVN and github, and wonder if there is any reason for which I should prefer the one over the other (or any other platform). An example for a reason could be if it will make it easier for me to later work with R-forge or CRAN or any other platform for R code distribution. Thanks, Tal

Hey all, I''m very happy to announce that ActiveReload[1] has generously offered to sponsor a lighthouse[2] account for rspec. We''ll be moving ticket tracking there. We''ve already got the account set up and will soon make it public. We''re also going to be getting a sponsored slice at Engine Yard[3] to host source control, which will be either mercurial or git

Hi Chris, > 2. The main deficiencies of CVS don't impact us much (we aren't > hampered by lack of atomic commits, renames, and better branch > facilities). If people would like to see the logical `patch set' that made up a CVS commit then cvsps may be useful, or, as others have said, use Tailor to convert to a local repos. in your preferred format.

Hello, Oscar > Anyways, if there is no Mercurial or Bazaar mirrors available, I will > try git. Recommendations on which one to use welcomed. There is git mirror at repo.or.cz: http://repo.or.cz/w/llvm.git, llvm-gcc & clang mirrors are available there as well. I'm updating it 'by hands' currently due to some reasons, so sometimes it will need 2-3 days for changes in llvm

I've been using git-svn successfully as a distributed front-end for Subversion repositories. You get a complete, local Git repository from where you can commit and update to/from Subversion. It works quite well, actually. Native Windows is entirely unsupported by Git at the moment, but I hear it works well under Cygwin. - Simon 2008/7/27 Óscar Fuentes <ofv at wanadoo.es>: > Owen

As of now, I can create a project from Git repository, run a builder on it, and even run the dashboard. Build pages look ugly because build.label in git is very long, a bunch of unit tests is failing, and I had to disable some functionality, namely displaying source control errors in the dashboard.
