Subtracting elements of data.frame
Dear R helpers I have a dataframe as df = data.frame(x = c(1, 14, 3, 21, 11), y = c(102, 500, 40, 101, 189)) > df    x   y 1  1 102 2 14 500 3  3  40 4 21 101 5 11 189 # Actually I am having dataframe having multiple columns. I am just giving an example. I need to subtract all the rows of df by the first row of df i.e. I need to subtract each element of 'x' column by 1. Likewise I

How to use conditional statement
Dear R helpers Suppose val1 = c(10, 20, 35, 80, 12) val2 = c(3, 8, 11, 7) I want to select either val1 or val2 depending on value of third quantity val3. val3 assumes either of the values "Monthly" or "Yearly". If val3 = "Monthly", then val = val1 and if val3 = "Yearly", then val = val2. I tried the ifelse statement as ifelse(val3 =

Maintaining Column names while writing csv file.
Dear R helpers, I have one trivial problem while writing an output file in csv format. I have two dataframes say df1 and df2 which I am reading from two different csv files. df1 has column names as date, r1, r2, r3 while the dataframe df2 has column names as date, 1w, 2w. (the dates in both the date frames are identical also no of elements in each column are equal say = 10). I merge these

Rearranging the data

Reversing order of vector

Autocorrelation using acf
Dear R list As suggested by Prof Brian Ripley, I have tried to read acf literature. The main problem is I am not the statistician and hence have some problem in understanding the concepts immediately. I came across one literature (http://www.stat.nus.edu.sg/~staxyc/REG32.pdf) on auto-correlation giving the methodology. As per that literature, the auto-correlation is arrived at as per following.

Sequence generation in a table
Dear R helpers I have following input f = c(257, 520, 110). I need to generate a decreasing sequence (decreasing by 100) which will give me an input (in a tabular form) like 257, 157, 57 520, 420, 320, 220, 120, 20 110, 10 I tried the following R code f = c(257, 520, 110) yy = matrix(data = NA, nrow = 3, ncol = 6) for (i in 1:3)      {      value = NULL      for (j in 1 : 6)           {

Value of 'pi'
Dear R helpers, I have one basic doubt about the value of pi. In school, we have learned that pi = 22/7 (which is = 3.142857). However, if I type pi in R, I get pi = 3.141593. So which value of pi should be considered? Regards Vincy [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

One silly question about "tapply output"

Correlation discrepancy
Dear R list, I have one very elementary question regrading correlation between two variables. x = c(44,46,46,47,45,43,45,44) y = c(44,43,41,41,46,48,44,43) > cov(x, y) [1] -2.428571 However, if I try to calculate the covariance using the formula as covariance = sum((x-mean(x))*(y-mean(y)))/8       # no of of paired obs. = 8 or     covariance = sum(x*y)/8-(mean(x)*mean(y)) gives

Question regarding dnorm()
Hi, I have one basic doubt. Suppose X ~ N(50,10). I need to calculate Probability X = 50. dnorm(50, 50, 10) gives me [1] 0.03989423 My understanding is (which is bit statistical or may be mathematical) on a continuous scale, Probability of the type P(X = .....) are nothing but 1/Infinity i.e. = 0. So as per my understanding P(X = 50) should be 0, but even excel also gives 0.03989422. Obviously

Matching two vectors
Dear R helpers Suppose I have a vector as vect_1 = c("AAA", "AA", "A", "BBB", "BB", "B", "CCC") vect_1_id = c(1:length(vect_1)) Through some process I obtain vect_2_id = c(2, 3, 7), then I need a new vector say vect_2 which will give me vect2 = ("AA", "A", "CCC")  i.e. I need the subset of

Str info. Thanks for helping
It looks from str(SA) that Response IPS1 is a data.frame of class "anova", which probably cannot be coerced to vector. Maybe you can use unlist() instead of as.vector() Or something like SA[["Response IPS1"]]["as.factor(WSD)",] ## to select the first row only, even maybe with unlist() Without a better REPRODUCIBLE example, I cannot tell more (maybe some others

What's wrong with MEAN?
Dear R helpers, I have recently installed R version 2.15.0 I just wanted to calculate mean(16, 18) Surprisingly I got answer as > mean(16, 18) [1] 16 > mean(18, 16) [1] 18 > mean(14, 11, 17, 9, 5, 18) [1] 14 So instead of calculating simple Arithmetic average, mean command is generating first element as average. I restarted the machine, changed the machine, but still the

Correlation for no of variables
Dear R helpers, Suppose I have stock returns data of say 1500 companies each for say last 4 years. Thus I have a matrix of dimension say 1000 * 1500 i.e. 1500 columns representing companies and 1000 rows of their returns. I need to find the correlation matrix of these 1500 companies. So I can find out the correlation as cor(returns) and expect to get 1500 * 1500 matrix. However, the process

Sorting data.frame datewise in a descending order

I am not sure whether I have defined the date column in a proper format. mydat<-data.frame(date = (c("1/31/2010", "2/28/2010", "3/31/2010", "4/30/2010", "5/31/2010", "6/30/2010",

user input
Dear users, I have looked on different sources and found different functions to prompt the user to provide input. However, I couldn't find one that does exactly what I'm looking for. select.list() and menu() are nice because a graphic window appears to prompt the user. However, the user can only choose from a predefined list of choices. readline() and scan() are more free in the

How to append the random no.s for different variables in the same data.frame

Following is a curtailed part of my R - code where I am trying to generate say 100 random no.s for each of the products under consideration. library(plyr) n = 100 my_code = function(product, output_avg, output_stdev)     { BUR_mc = rnorm(n, output_avg,
