Dear R People: I am trying to split a character vector into a set of individual letters: Ideal: x3 <- c("dog") "d" "o" "g" I tried the following: > strsplit(x3) Error in strsplit(x3) : argument "split" is missing, with no default > strsplit(x3,1) [[1]] [1] "dog" I know that this is incredibly simple, but what am I doing

Dear R People: Suppose I have the following; xa <- c("There are 5 dogs") I would like to have a new character vector such that xb[1] is There xb[2] is are xb[3] is 5 xb[4] is dogs Since the original vector has length 1, substring will not work. Any suggestions would be MOST welcome! thanks Erin Hodgess Associate Professor Department of Computer and Mathematical Sciences

Dear R People: I have the following set of data > Block[1:5] [1] "5600-5699" "6100-6199" "9700-9799" "9400-9499" "8300-8399" and I want to split at the - > strsplit(Block[1:5],"-") [[1]] [1] "5600" "5699" [[2]] [1] "6100" "6199" [[3]] [1] "9700" "9799" [[4]] [1]

Dear R People: Here is a toy example: > x <- c("2E","5W","12H") > substr(x,2,2) [1] "E" "W" "2" > Sometimes x has 3 elements, sometimes 2. I want to extract the last element, and then extract the other 1 or 2 elements. How can I do this, please? TIA, Sincerely, Erin -- Erin Hodgess Associate Professor Department of

In R-beta (Masked Marvel), when I do the example from the read.pnm help file, this is what happens: x <- read.pnm(system.file("pictures/logo.pgm",package="pixmap")[1]) Warning message: In rep(cellres, length=2): x is NULL so the result will be NULL In R-2.15.3, it's all right.

Hello! Over the weekend, I updated my RcmdrPlugin.qual package. It works fine on a 64 bit Windows machine but not a 32 bit. This is very strange. The new menu with all of the Quality Control stuff does not appear. Have any of you run into this sort of thing before, please? Thanks, Sincerely, Erin Erin M.

Dear R People: Here is a goofy question: I want to extract the zip code from an address and here is my work so far: > add1 results.formatted_address "200 W Rosamond St, Houston, TX 77076, USA" > add1[1][32:36] <NA> <NA> <NA> <NA> <NA> NA NA NA NA NA > str(add1) Named chr "200 W Rosamond St, Houston, TX 77076,

Dear R People: I'm loading several thousand .Rdata files in sequence. If one of them is empty, the function crashes. I am thinking about using system(wc ) etc., and strsplit for the results, but was wondering if there is a more clever way via a file type command, please.

Dear R People: In the function "decompose", the object has the class of "decomposed.ts". (from package stats) I would like to see the class definition and the method for the plotting. However, when I use isClass("decomposed.ts") I get "FALSE". When I check getMethods("plot") there is no method for plot on decomposed.ts Any suggestions,

Dear Debian People: Is there a way to run a little script (on Ubuntu Manic Meerkat) every hour, please? I know that this is more of a LINUX/UNIX question rather than an R question. Sorry.

Dear R People: I downloaded the RPM for Red Hat Linux. How do I install this, please? When I looked at the R Intallation manual, it seemed to be referring to installing from source.

Dear R People: Suppose I have the 4 numbers: 1,2,3,4. I would like to create a listing of the permutations of 4 items taken 4 at a time. Is there a built in function for that, please?

Dear R People: This is probably a very simple question. I know that if I want to get a list of the classes of the objects in the workspace, I can do this: > sapply(ls(), function(x)class(get(x))) a a1.df b d "list" "data.frame" "integer" "numeric" Now I want to get just the data frames. >

Dear R People: When the D function is used for a symbolic derivative, an expression is returned, which is fine. How do you change that expression to a function, please? I've been experimenting with substitute and deparse, but no success yet. This is R 1.8.0 for Windows. thanks in advance for the help! Sincerely, Erin Hodgess mailto: hodgess at gator.uhd.edu

Dear R People: On the Edit menu, there is a GUI preference tab. On the Font option, the highest value is 18. Has anyone ever had the font size set larger than that will any success, please?

Dear R People: Could someone direct me to some documentation on the difference between S3 and S4 classes, please? For example, why would a person use one as opposed to another? Maybe pros and cons of each? Thanks in advance! R Version 2.2.0 (I'm downloading the new one this afternoon!) Windows. Happy New Year!

Dear R People: I will be teaching an undergraduate Design of Experiments class in the Spring Semester. It will be very much an applied course. My question, please: has anyone used R for a course like this, please? I've tried Rcmdr for a regression course and just plain command line for a time series course. Should I use Rcmdr, or teach them to use the command line, OR is there something
