Dear All, This question sounds very simple but I don't know where I am wrong. I just want to pad leading zeros in some string, for example, "123" becomes "00123". What is wrong if I do following? > sprintf("%05s", "123") [1] " 123" It didn't return "00123", instead it padded with 'blank'. Thank you for your help

Hi All, I have a data frame like a = data.frame(date = c(20081201, 20081202, 20081201), product = c("a b c d e", "a b c g h t", "d e h a c e h g"), sales = c(1, 2, 3)) Now I want to aggregate the sales by part of the a$product. 'Product' is the product name, a string separated by a space. The key in my aggregate function is

Hi all, I have a dataset. Each time I want to sample N(i) elements from it and I want to repeated sampling M times. N(i) is varied from time to time. For example, dataset = 1:50; a = list(); M = 1000; I want to do something like for(i in 1:M) { a[[i]] = sample(dataset,

Hi All, I have two questions regarding install.packages(). Q1: may I run it in non-interactive mode, which means just install the packages I want rather than letting me to choose which mirror etc? Q2: I ran a R code in batch mode, for example, R CMD BATCH a.r In a.r, I have some statements like packages = library()$result[, "Package"]; f(! "plyr" %in% packages) {

Hi All, I have a data frame, whose colnames like "A.x, B.x, C.x, A.y, B.y, C.y". There could be many columns like this pattern. I want to compare data in columns A.x with A.y, B.x with B.y and C.x with C.y etc. Suppose my data frame is d, names(d) = c("A.x", "B.x", "C.x", "A.y", "B.y", "C.y"); If I want to D1 =

Hi All, I have a self-cooked package and save it to a zip file after running make, say named xxx.zip. After installing it to R by running "Install packages from local zip files" under Packages menu in R (Windows), I realized I needed to change some source codes and re-make it. My question is that if I need re-install that package or R would automatically update the R

Hi All, I have a question about package installation in R. We have developed a package, say 'ABC'. We have installed it in two machines, A and B by running 'Install Package(s) from local zip file'. Everything was fine. Right now, suppose that package got damaged in machine A and our zipped file is gone, My question is that may I directly copy ../library/ABC from machine B to

Hi group: I have a data set, which has severe colinearity problem. While running linear regression in R and SPSS, I got different models. I am wondering if somebody knows how to make the two software output the same results. (I guess the way R and SPSS handling singularity is different, which leads to different models.) Thanks.

Hi All, I know in R there is function named 'step', which does the stepwise regression and choose the model by AIC. However, if I want to choose a model per this logic: 1. Run a full model (linear regression, f = lm(y ~., data = ZZZ), for example) 2. Pick up the variable with biggest p value, delete it from the module and get a new regression model. 3. Repeat step 2

Hi All, Suppose I have the following codes: x = data.frame(A = rnorm(20), B = rnorm(20), C = rnorm(20)) a = list() a[["1.1"]] = x a[["1.2"]] = x b = list() b[["1.1"]] = c("A", "B") b[["1.2"]] = c("B", "C") Now I want to apply b to a like this, for each element of 'a', only select the corresponding columns

Hi All, I have a matrix like m <- matrix( letters[1:10], ncol=5) How to conver it to 10 * 3 matrix, which the first col is row index of m, second col is colum index of m and third column is the value of matrix, say 1 1 1 "a" 2 1 2 "c" 1 3 "e" etc... Thanks. [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Hi All, Does somebody know how to know the detail of the line types? For example, lty = 1, means what kind of line?, lty = 2, means what kind of line? Thanks. HXD [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Hi all, I am planning to parse some information on a website which includes lots of Chinese characters. Does someone know how to read/display Chinese in R? Thanks. url = "http://www.teec.org.cn/html/renwujieshao/" x = readLines(url) I tried encoding = 'UTF-8' already but it didn't help. My R version is $platform [1] "i386-pc-mingw32" $arch [1] "i386"

Hi All, I need to calculate VIF (variance inflation factor) for my linear regression model. I found there was a function named vif in 'HH' package. I have two questions: 1) I was able to install that package in my R under windows. But while trying to install that package in UNIX, I got error: Package HH is not available. Does somebody know why? 2) Does

Hi All, The following is a snippet of my code. It works fine but it is very slow. Is it possible to speed it up by using different data structure or better solution? For 40000 runs, it takes 8 minutes now. Thanks a lot fun_activation = function(s_k, s_hat, x_k, s_hat_len) { common = intersect(s_k, s_hat); if(length(common) != 0) { index = match(common, s_k);

Hi List, I have a question regarding debug R code. I know I can use debug(fuction_name) and when code runs to that point, it will go to debugger. My question is inside debugger, how to stop a code at a specified line. For example, in C (gdb or dbx debugger) I can run "stop at 123" (stop at line 123) or 'b 123' (break at line 123). Is there any similar commend in R

I am receiving an error when trying to connect to the Oracle Database using RODBC on a 64-bit Windows Server OS. The version of R is 2.10.0-win32.exe Is this the wrong version. Does RODBC only work with 32-bit ODBC drivers? 've read over all the posts and documentation manuals. The system is Windows Server 2003 with R 2.81. and the latest downloadable RODBC package. The Oracle SID/DSN is
