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

merging 2 frames while keeping all the entries from the "reference" frame
Hello! I have my data frame "mydata" (below) and data frame "reference" - that contains all the dates I would like to be present in the final data frame. I am trying to merge them so that the the result data frame contains all 8 dates in both subgroups (i.e., Group1 should have 8 rows and Group2 too). But when I merge it it's not coming out this way. Any hint would be

any way to make it work faster (deleting rows that contain certain values)
Hello, dear R'ers, index<-expand.grid(1:7,1:4,1:4,1:4,1:4,1:4,1:4,1:4,1:4,1:4,1:4) In this case, dim(index) is 7,340,032 (!) and 11. I realize it's huge. Then, I am trying to get rid of the undesired combinations of columns. They should not contain identical values in any 2 columns. Also if column 1 has a value of 5, there should be no 2 in any other column, if column 1 has a value

transforming a badly organized data base into a list of data frames

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

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

Function to check if a vector contains a given value?
Dear R'rs, is there a function that checks if a given vector contains a certain value. E.g., x<-c(1,2,3,4). How can I get a TRUE or FALSE for whether x contains a 2? -- 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

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

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

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

Increasing the font size on axes in trellis

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.
