similar to: readMat - how to retrieve the variables

Hello I need to run an r-file that works on Windows on MAC. The first lines of the file are: library(R.matlab) library(Rcompression) Somehow I cannot find where Rcompression is. Am I missing something? Many thanks Ed

Hi to the list, I am trying to find a way to painlessly move structured data back and forth between R and Matlab (also Octave). For this purpose I found the R.matlab package great help. I wish to use a Matlab -v6 MAT file as an intermediary format, because it is well read by both Matlab and Octave. It is also well read by 'readMat' function in R.matlab package, but that is where I run

Hello I am new to R and I need to convert some dates (numeric format by matlab) to actual dates in R. For instance, Matlab -> 730456 -> >> datestr(730456) ans = 02-Dec-1999 R - > library(zoo) > as.Date(730456) [1] "3969-12-03" I don't not mind the output format but it needs to be right. Many thanks Ed

Dear R-users I need to fit a nonlinear model to a piece of data. The model to be fitted uses past values of the input and the ouput - something like y(k) ~ f(y(k-1),y(k-2),u(k),u(k-1) ....) (k is time index). As far as I know I could use earth(MARS), nnet and etc but I am not sure how to deal with the past values since most, if not all, examples I saw formula does not take in account past

note: whole function is below- I am sure I am doing something silly. when I use it like USGS(input="precipitation") it is choking on the precip.1 <- subset(DF, precipitation!="NA") b <- ddply(precip.1$precipitation, .(precip.1$gauge_name), cumsum) DF.precip <- precip.1 DF.precip$precipitation <- b$.data part, but runs fine outside of the function: days=7

Hi,all I have a problem running R.matlab package (under 2.10.1 version). I can set up the matlab server under local machine(run the MatlabServer.m), " And I can use setVariable and evaluate matlab functions in R. But when I ask Matlab to send the value back to R using getVariable function it always returns an error: " ??? Error: A MATLAB string constant is not

Hi all, i'm sure there is an easy way to do this, but i'm stumped, so any help would be appreciated. i have a single column of data for precipitation every 15 minutes over a year. i want to sum the precip to daily data. so the first 96 records = the first day, the second 96 records = the second day, and so on.... is there a way to write a for loop that would sum the data to daily, and

Hello, I have two different files which I'd like to combine to make one data frame but I've no idea how to do it! The first file has two columns; one is the date, the following is a binary code for debris flow events. Then my other file has also two columns; the date and then precipitation data. The thing is, is that the two date columns don't all contain the same dates. The binary

Hello Please see the example below > class(testX) [1] "matrix" > class(testX[1,]) [1] "numeric" Why not matrix? What am I missing here? Is there a way to keep the same class? The reason for the question is that I want to implement a k-step ahead prediction for my own routines and R wrecks does not seem to like [1,] as shown below. >

Hello friends of R, My name is Toni, i'm 25 and I'm working on the Meteorological Investigation team from Balearic Islands. I had contact to you because I have a problem: I done a file for every day since 1912 about precipitation. That file has the following structure: > str(Ast) Loading required package: sp Formal class 'SpatialPixelsDataFrame' [package "sp"]

Dear R-Users I have the following matrix > out$desc [,1] [,2] [1,] "" "" [2,] "y_{01}(k-001)" "" [3,] "y_{01}(k-002)" "" [4,] "y_{01}(k-003)" "" [5,] "u_{01}(k-001)" "" [6,] "u_{01}(k-002)" "" [7,] "u_{01}(k-003)" ""

Hello R is pretty new to me. I need to write a function that returns three matrices of different dimensions. In addition, I need to call a function from a contributed package with the function. I have browsed several manuals and docs but the examples on them are either very simple or extremely hard to follow. Many thanks Ed [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Hello I have a huge file (not an R-file) in which the first column is a string with date, hour, minutes and seconds (For instance, "31-Jul-2010 23:59:00"). I tried as.Date but the error msg was "Error in charToDate(x) : character string is not in a standard unambiguous format". I have checked the help for the function as well as date but to no avail. How can that sort

Hi all, I want to arrange two ggplot2 plots on the same page with their x-axes lined up - even though one is a boxplot and the other is a line plot. Is there a simple way to do this? I know I could do this using facetting if they were both the same type of plot (for example, if they were both boxplots), but I haven't been able to figure it out for two different types of plots. Below is my

Hello, I am new to R exploratory data analysis and plotting. Is anyone aware of a way to overlay a set of conditional histograms with conditional PDFs? Below, I generate a lattice plot of precipitation histograms based on different months and stations, given a subset of the dataset: histogram(~ data | month * station, data = sta.stack[sta.stack[,"type"]=="precip" &

Dear R-Experts, here again a question concerning matlab. With the command "matrixM=[1 2 3;4 5 6]" a matrix under Matlab was constructed. It was than stored with the command "save('matrixM.txt','matrixM')". Now I tried to import the data in R with the help of the command "Z=matrix(scan("Z:/Software/R-Programme/matrixM.txt"))" An error

Hello I have recently upgraded R to the newest version. Unfortunately my old (fortran and C) R-package cannot be installed anymore (was built before R 3.0.0: please re-install it). I have tried R CMD INSTALL package_name but I noticed that R-3.1.1-binary-mac requests gcc-4.8.2 and specific locations for the libraries (gcc and gfortran). Can someone point me to the documentation on how to

Hello, This maybe a newbie question. I have a dataframe that looks like the sample at the bottom of the email. I have monthly precipitation data from several sites over several years. For each site, I need to extract years that have a complete series of 12 monthly precipitation values, while excluding that year for sites with incomplete data. I can't figure out how to do this gracefully

Dear R-users I am new to R and struggling not to bother the list with silly questions. I read the documentation on xts and searched for some examples over the internet on how to use plot.xts. The xts object is as follows dataxts : An 'xts' object from 2010-06-27 to 2010-08-05 containing: Data: num [1:56161, 1:14] 74 74.2 74.2 74.1 73.9 ... Indexed by objects of

I have a file, each column of which is a separate year, and each row of each column is mean precipitation for that month. Looks like this (except it goes back to 1964). month X2000 X2001 X2002 X2003 X2004 X2005 X2006 X2007 X2008 X2009 1 1.600 1.010 4.320 2.110 0.925 3.275 3.460 0.675 1.315 2.920 2 2.960 3.905 3.230 2.380 2.720 1.880 2.430 1.380
