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

Gabor As someone trying to the rest of my team using Subversion (which I have used for a while, but more as a backup / record of changes), have you a neat / automated way of building a package from a subversion repository?

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)

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]]

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, I have a basic question about aligning date labels for the x-axis in an xyplot so that they align with the grid lines from the panel.grid argument. For example, with x <- data.frame( date = seq(as.Date("2005/01/01"), as.Date("2006/06/01"), length.out = 20), value = runif(20)) xyplot(value ~ date, data = x, panel = function(x, y, subscripts, ...) {

Hi, Given a function fun <- function(a, b) a + b how do I generate the function 'function(x, y) x + y'? Working from the help files and Bill Venables' R-news article (June 2002), I have tried various permutations with substitute without success. e.g. do.call("substitute", list(fun, list(a = as.name("x"), b = as.name("y")))) Regards, John.

Here's one not-so-straightforward way: > f <- function(a, b) a + b > flist <- as.list(f) > names(flist)[1:2] <- c("x", "y") > flist[[3]] <- do.call("substitute", list(body(f), list(a=as.name("x"), b=as.name("y")))) > g <- as.function(flist) > g function (x, y) x + y HTH, Andy > From: john.gavin at ubs.com

Hi, The solution to my problem is to use lattice:::calculateAxisComponents to calculate appropriate labels for the time axis in trellis plots. # For example, given x <- seq.POSIXt(strptime("2003/01/01", format = "%Y/%m/%d"), strptime("2003/10/01", format = "%Y/%m/%d"), by = "month") y <- rnorm(length(x)) dat <-

Hi, I want to call R from within Java, using jri as per http://www.rosuda.org/software/jri/ So I am following the instructions in the README file for JRI 0.2-4. I have run 'sh configure.win' and 'make' and they seemed to be successful. (See below for the output from make, for example.) But when I try 'run.bat rtest' (with and without R command line arguments) the output

Hi, V1.8.0 seems to allow DateTimeClasses as the x argument in xyplots (lattice). For example: x <- seq.POSIXt(strptime("2003/01/01", format = "%Y/%m/%d"), strptime("2003/10/01", format = "%Y/%m/%d"), by = "month") y <- rnorm(length(x)) dat <- data.frame(x= x, y = y) xyplot(y ~ x, data = dat, type = "b")
