R version 2-12.0 - running as 32 or as 64 bit?
Question: I installed R verison 2-12.0 on my Windows 7 (64 bit) PC. When I was installing it, it did not ask me anything about 32 vs. 64 bit. So, if I run R now - is it running as a 32-bit or a 64-bit? thank you! -- Dimitri Liakhovitski Ninah Consulting www.ninah.com

Suppressing printing in the function
Hello! I wrote a function that returns a data frame. Nowhere in the function do I say print(my.data.frame), but when I run the function - the data frame is printed on the console. Is there any way to suppress it? Thank you! -- Dimitri Liakhovitski Ninah Consulting www.ninah.com

replacing period with a space
Dear R-ers! I have x as a variable in a data frame x. x<-data.frame(x=c("aa.bb","cc.dd.ee")) x$x<-as.character(x$x) x I am sorry for such a simple question - but how can I replace all periods in x$x with spaces? sub('.', ' ', x$x) - removes all letters to the left of each period... Thanks a lot for your advice! -- Dimitri Liakhovitski Ninah.com

finding the year of a date
I know that I can use as.yearmon in the package "zoo" to find the year and the month of a date. I can use as. yearqtr to find the year and the quarter. But how can one find just the year of a date? Thanks a lot! -- Dimitri Liakhovitski Ninah Consulting www.ninah.com

Analogue to SPSS regression commands ENTER and REMOVE in R?
I am not sure if this question has been asked before - but is there a procedure in R (in lm or glm?) that is equivalent to ENTER and REMOVE regression commands in SPSS? Thanks a lot! -- Dimitri Liakhovitski Ninah.com Dimitri.Liakhovitski at ninah.com

transforming dates into years
Hello! If I have in my data frame MyFrame a variable saved as a Date and want to translate it into years, I currently do it like this using "zoo": library(zoo) as.year <- function(x) as.numeric(floor(as.yearmon(x))) myFrame$year<-as.year(myFrame$date) Is there a function that would do it directly - like "as.yearmon" - but for years? Thank you! -- Dimitri

R takes long time to open
Hello. Until today I've been using R2.9 and since today R2.10 (on a PC). In both of them it takes about 20 sec for the prompt to appear IN R console after I start R. And every time it says: "Previous saved work space restored" - even if I have not saved any workspace or, in case of R2.10 - even though I have not used it once. In the older versions - R would start within 2-3 sec. Is

Running code sequentially from separate scripts (but not functions)
Hello! I am wondering if it's possible to run - in sequence - code that is stored in several R scripts. For example: Script in the file "code1.r" contains the code: a = 3; b = 5; c = a + b Script in the file "code2.r" contains the code: d = 10; e = d - c Script in the file "code3.r" contains the code: result=e/a I understand that I could write those 3 scripts

Something like: predictors<-c("x1","x2",... "x10) for(i in predictors){ reg<-lm(y~i) etc. } But it's not working. I am getting an error: Error in

applying strsplit to a whole column

rgenoud for multiple chips: does a more recent special version of "snow" exist?
Dear everyone, I am trying to run rgenoud on several chips simultaneusly. I used the instructions provided on Jasjeet Sekhon's Homepage (http://sekhon.berkeley.edu/rgenoud/multiple_cpus.html). However, I have the newer version of R (R 2.12) installed - for a 64-bit machine. So, when I tried to install the special version of "snow" from a zip file provided by Jasjeet on his page, R

Increasing the font size on axes in trellis
Hello, the code below gives me the picture I need - but there is on small thing I can't figure out. The plot has very small tick mark labels for both axes. I don't mean the axis labels - they are both good, but what is shown near the tick marks. Please help me figure out what parameter I should add to make those larger.

Code is too slow: mean-centering variables in a data frame by subgroup
Dear R-ers, I have a large data frame (several thousands of rows and about 2.5 thousand columns). One variable ("group") is a grouping variable with over 30 levels. And I have a lot of NAs. For each variable, I need to divide each value by variable mean - by subgroup. I have the code but it's way too slow - takes me about 1.5 hours. Below is a data example and my code that is too

referring to a row number and to a row condition, and to columns simultaneously

However, I only want to do it for rows 2:5 - while ignoring what's happening in

Question about checkTmvArgs function in rtmvnorm (package tmvtnorm)
Hello! I was wondering if it's possible to see the actual code of checkTmvArgs function that is part of the code for rtmvnorm (which is below - I just typed "rtmvnorm" on the prompt). I get an error: Error in checkTmvArgs(mean, sigma, lower, upper) : sigma must be a symmetric matrix At the same time I am pretty sure that the matrix I am passing as sigma is a var-covar matrix

weird problem - R is not finding the data for the factor level present in the data
Sorry for no code - but it's a more of a general question. I have read in a data frame ("|"-delimited, .txt). daily<-read.table(file="filename.txt",sep="|",header=T) One of the variables is a factor with 110 levels: >str(daily$dma_id) Factor w/ 110 levels "500","501","503",... 108 levels of this factor happen to be numbers
