similar to: Turning a Variable into String

Hello, I have a multi-year dataset (see below) with date, a data value and a flag for the data value. I want to find the monthly median for each month in this dataset and then plot it. If anyone has suggestions they would be greatly apperciated. It should be noted that there are some dates with no values and they should be removed. Thanks Emily > print ( str(data$flow$daily) )

Can someone please give me a clue how to 're'write this so I dont need to use loops. a<-ts(matrix(c(1,1,1,10,10,10,20,20,20),nrow=3),names=c('var1','var2','var3')) b<-ts(matrix(c(2,2,2,11,11,11,21,21,21),nrow=3),names=c('var1','var2','var3'))

Hello all, I have the following problem: 1) A list was defined as 'a' a <- list("var1"=c(100:1), "var2"=c(1:100), "var3"=rnorm(100)) 2) a function 'foo' was defined that extracts the variable name assigned to x using the deparse(substitute()) functionality. This name will then be used within the function to generate specific output files, etc.

Hi all, I have been trying to solve this problem and have had no luck so far. I have numeric vectors VAR1, VAR2, and VAR3 which I am trying to cbind. I also have a character vector "VAR1,VAR2,VAR3". How do I manipulate this character vector such that I can input a transformed version of the character vector into cbind and have it recognize that I'm trying to refer to my numeric

Dear List, Consider the following example: dat <- data.frame(var1 = rnorm(100), var2 = rnorm(100), var3 = rnorm(100), var4 = rnorm(100)) oldpar <- par(mfrow = c(2,2), no.readonly = TRUE) invisible(lapply(dat, function(x) { plot(density(x), main = deparse(substitute(x))) } ) )

Sorry guys, but I have another one: I want to write a function that returns a certain column of a dataframe. The function accepts two argument: the dataframe and the name of the column, but the column is not given as a "string" but as a variable name. EXAMPLE ---------------------- > testdata start stop censor groupvar var1 var2 1 0 1 0 1

Dear List, I have Multi-level Data i= Indivitual Level g= Group Level var1= First Variable of interest var2= Second Variable of interest and I want to count the frequency of "var1" and "var2" on the group level. I found a way, but there must be a much simpler way. data.ml <- data.frame(i=c(1:8),g=as.factor(c(1,1,1,2,2,3,3,3)),var1=c(3,3,3,4,4,4,4 ,4),

Please, I wonder if someone knows how to add the less than or equal to symbol in the plot generated by the code below: var1<-c('age <= 3','age <= 7','age <= 10','age <= 11','age <= 20','age <= 25','age <= 30','age <= 45','age <= 50','age < 55','age >= 55')

Hi, I am using R 1.9.1 on on i686 PC with SuSE Linux 9.0. I have a data.frame, e.g.: > myData <- data.frame( var1 = c( 1:4 ), var2 = c (5:8 ) ) If I add a new column by > myData$var3 <- myData[ , "var1" ] + myData[ , "var2" ] everything is fine, but if I omit the commas: > myData$var4 <- myData[ "var1" ] + myData[ "var2" ] the name

Buenas noches Javier y José, Estoy en contra de usar attach(), asi que propongo la siguiente alternativa con with(): # paquete require(epicalc) # los argumentos en ... pasan de epicalc:::cc # ver ?cc para mas informacion foo <- function(var1, var2, var3, ...){ or1 <- cc(var1, var2, ...) or2 <- cc(var1, var3, ...) list(or1 = or1, or2 = or2) } # datos x <-

I am new to R and new to time series modeling. I have a set of variables (var1, var2, var3, var4, var5) for which I have historical yearly data. I am trying to use this data to produce a prediction of var1, 3 years into the future. I have a few basic questions: 1) I am able to read in my data, and convert it to a time series format using 'ts.' data_ts <- ts(data, start = 1988, end =

HI R help, I was trying to get identical data frame from a list using two methods. #Suppose my list is: listdat1<-list(rnorm(10,20),rep(LETTERS[1:2],5),rep(1:5,2)) #Creating dataframe using cbind dat1<-data.frame(do.call("cbind",listdat1)) colnames(dat1)<-c("Var1","Var2","Var3") #Second dataframe conversion

Dear Colleagues, Apologies for a long email to ask what I feel may be a very simple question; I figure it's better to overspecify my situation. I was asked a question, recently, by a colleague in my department about pre-aggregating variables, i.e., computing the mean of defined subsets of a data frame. Naturally, I thought of the 'by' and 'tapply' functions, as

Hello everyone, I am looking at the joint spatial distribution of 2 kinds of organisms (estimated on a grid of points) and want to test for significant association or dissociation. My first question is: do you know a nice technique to do that, considering that I have a limited number of points (36) but that they are repeated (4 times)? I did GLMs to test for correlations between the

Dear List, I'm getting the error: object of type 'closure' is not subsettable And am not sure how to get around the problem. I've included two short code sets below. One that shows what I want to do and works, but without using the function much, and another that tries to use the function but causes the error. # THIS WORKS AND SHOWS WHAT I'D LIKE TO DO a <- c(1,2,3) b

Hello, I would like to know if this behaviour in R is as expected. I have a data frame 'dat' with column var1 being character (and not factor). Then I create a new column 'var2' by: > dat[,"var2"] <- dat$var1; Column var2 is now a factor. But if I do: > dat$var2 <- dat$var1; Then column var2 is character (and not factor). I don't want to have

Hi :-) I'm new to R and I started using it for a project (I'm the CS guy in a group of statisticians helping them find out how to solve issues as they come out). This is my first post to the list and I am starting to learn R. Well, they were used to doing MCA analysis in other programs where the data seems to be preprocessed automatically before running MCA. So, they need to process a

Carlos, en principio si sería algo así, sólo que en vez de quedarme con todas las columnas var1 a var4 tuviera sólo 3, ya que en mis datos no hay ningún caso que tenga el valor 1 en más de 3 variables.. Había llegado a una solución (mucho menos elegante que usando reshape), que implicaba un for sobre las filas. Jorge, creo que tu solución me vale. Muchas gracias a los dos.. Saludos El
