Dear all, I have a question about how to set arguments in my own function. For example, I have a function that looks like this: my.f <- function(a = x1, b = x2) { x1 = equation 1 x2 = equation 2 x3 = equation 3 y = a + b } x1, x2, and x3 are temporary variables (intermediate results) calculated from other variables within the funciton. I want to use two of these three

Dear all, I just want to determine if the characters in a character string are the same or not. For example, temp <- c("aa", "aA", "ab") How do I determine the first one have the two same ?a?, and the second and third have the different characters? Thanks in advance.

Dear all, I have a dataset that looks like this: x <- read.table(textConnection("col1 col2 3 1 2 2 4 7 8 6 5 10"), header=TRUE) I want to rewrite it as below: var1 var2 var3 var4 var5 var6 var7 var8 var9 var10 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 2 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0

Dear all, I am trying to write a script to pause the execution of a function and provide some additional commands to the function and then continue execution of the function. For example, when my function detects a wrong number in a dataset, the function pauses automatically and returns information on the screen: ?There is a wrong number in the dataset. Would you like to correct it? ? If I

Hello, All, I have a dataset that looks like this: x <- matrix(c( 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1, 0, 0, 1, 0, 0, 1, 0, 1, 2, 1, 1, 2, 1, 1, 3, 1, 1, 3, 1, 1, 3, 1), ncol = 5, byrow = T, dimnames = list(1:10, c("gender", "race", "disease"))) I want to write a function to produce several matrices including only ?TRUE? and ?FALSE? for the different levels of the

Dear all, I have a question about deleting components of a list. For example, I have a list that looks like this: [[1]] var1 var2 var3 1 3 4 2 2 1 [[2]] var1 var2 var3 2 5 1 2 1 7 [[3]] var1 var2 var3 1 6 7 3 8 4 How to delete, say, the first columns of the list or the second rows? Thank in advance. Lisa -- View

Dear all, I have two sets of numbers that look like a <- c(1, 2, 3, 3, 4, 4, 5, 6, 1, 2, 2, 3, 1, 2, 1, 2, 3, 3, 4, 5, 1, 2, 3, 4) b <- c(1, 5, 8, 9, 14, 20, 3, 10, 12, 6, 16, 7, 11, 13, 17, 18, 2, 4, 15, 19) I just want to use ?b? to encode ?a? so that ?a? looks like a1<- c(1, 5, 8, 8, 9, 9, 14, 20, 3, 10, 10, 12, 6, 16, 7, 11, 13, 13, 17, 18, 2, 4, 15, 19) Does anyone have a

Dear all, I have a question about how to suppress intermediate results in a function on console. For example, I will use summary() in my own function that looks like: myfunction <- function(?) { ? Summary(x) ? } Then myfunction() will print ?x? on console that is intermediate result and doesn?t need showing. Does someone have any idea or any suggestion? Thank you in advance. Lisa

Hello, All, I want to write a function to do some works based on the arguments. For example, bind some variables (arguments) as this: myfunction <- function(arg1, arg2, arg3, ?) { x <- cbind(arg1, arg2, arg3, ?) } myfunction(arg1, arg2, arg3, ?) The function can automatically determine the number of arguments and bind them, which means if I assign 2 arguments, the function can bind

Dear all, I have a dataset that looks like this: inividual var1 var2 ? 1 1 1 ? 2 1 2 ? 3 2 1 ? 4 2 2 ? ? ? ? ? I will random sample 2 individuals from this dataset based on a set of random numbers, e.g., rn1 <- c(0, 0, 1, 1), rn2 <- c(0, 0, 2, 0), rn3 <- c(1, 0, 0, 1), rn4 <-

Hello, R users, I have a dataset that looks like this: id var1 var2 1 1 3 2 3 1 3 2 1 4 1 2 5 2 3 I want to split one column to two columns with 1 = 1 and 1, 2 = 1 and 2, 3 = 2 and 2: id var1.1 var1.2 var2.1 var2.2 1 1 1 2 2 2 2 2 1 1 3 1 2

Hi, everybody, I have a problem and need your help. There are two columns that look like this: [1,] "t" "f" [2,] "f" "t" [3,] "t" "f" [4,] "t" "t" [5,] "f" "f" I just want to generate the third column based on these two columns. First, I randomly choose one of the two columns,

Hi, I am neither a statistician nor a user of R. I am a programmer trying to provide my users (both statisticians and R users) data in a format that works best for them. What is a data frame? Is source data easier to work with in this format or a csv file? Or yet another format? Thanks for your time. Bruce [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

I am not a pure Statistics background and therefore please forgive me if this question (which is not R related either) is too trivial. In many Statistics literature I find following statement: "restrictions in different coefficients matrices have to be imposed to ensure uniqueness of the parametrization". Can somebody tell me what is the meaning of Uniqueness in the parametrization?

Any advice on which package I can use for calculating effect sizes for two dependent samples? compute.es seems only to consider independent samples. Thanks in advance Steve Powell [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Hi, I have a dataset that has 2 groups of samples. For each sample, then response measured is the number of success (no.success) obatined with the number of trials (no.trials). So a porportion of success (prpop.success) can be computed as no.success/no.trials. Now the objective is to test if there is a statistical significant difference in the proportion of success between the 2 groups of
