Hi, I''m trying to create a method to return a random date within a range. So far, I''ve come up with this... require ''parsedate'' def random_date (a, b) adate = ParseDate.parsedate(a) bdate = ParseDate.parsedate(b) atime = Time.local(*adate) btime = Time.local(*bdate) atime + (rand * (atime - btime) ) end ...and it doesn''t seem to

Hi all I have a data frame with duplicate columns and i want to remove duplicates by adding rows in each group of duplicates, but have lots of NA's. Data: dfrm <- data.frame(a = 1:4, b= 1:4, cc= 1:4, dd=1:10, ee=1:4) names(dfrm) <- c("a", "a", "b", "b", "b") dfrm[3,2:3]<-NA dfrm a a b b b 1 1 1 1 1 1 2 2 2 2 2 2 3

Buenas tardes a todos, tengo un problema con R: ejecuto el mismo script en el ordenador del trabajo y en mi portátil con los mismos datos y obtengo resultados diferentes (siendo los correctos, los obtenidos en el trabajo): rm(list=ls()) directorio<-"C:\\Documents and Settings\\BDs\\" library(RODBC) library(car) library(gdata) ### DATOS A ###

First time to post and searched archive for this problem with no clue. My version is 2.5.1. Below is a function to check if a given date is a valid date to a given date function object. It uses try (also tried tryCatch but with same problem). When given an invalid date, I am hoping try will generate en error message which would be picked up by the geterrmessage and thus expecting a false result.

I've been trying to understand the as.Date functionality and I have a date and time stamp field that looks like this: "Tue Sep 15 09:22:09 -0600 2009" and I need to turn it into an R Date object for analysis. Simple date conversions I have down, no problem: > adate = c("7/30/1959") > as.Date(adate,"%m/%d/%Y") [1] "1959-07-30" > But when it

Hi, I've got a problem with RODBC and saving (sqlSave) of a dataframe in Access. R 2.0.1 is running on windows XP. When executing the examples in R help for the "USArrests" data set "sqlSAve" works fine, but running sqlSave() for a dataframe "Adat" > str(Adat) `data.frame': 1202 obs. of 18 variables: containing 18 columns and ca. 1200 rows fails.

Hi R community I copied a bit of my R code that gets some data from a database. You won't be able to run the code, but I am a beginner so you will probably understand what going on. I would like to make a variable I can refer to inside the sqlQuery. Instead of writing the start date and time (ex SP.lokaldatotid >= '2005-01-01 00:00:00') inside the query I would like to define it

I was using Puppet 0.24.8 and now upgrade the puppet server and client both to 0.25.4 (on 1 machine i.e. server and client), but i am facing some problems. While testing, some of the configs which were/are running fine on older version generates error here; for instance, i have defined the FileSource path in ''/etc/puppet/fileserver.conf'' [myFileSrc] path

This patch (to OpenSSH 3.0.2p1) adds support for using krb4, krb5 and other principal names in authorized_keys entries. It's a sort of replacement for .klogin and .k5login, but it's much more general than .k*login as it applies to any authentication mechanism where a name is associated with the ssh client and it supports name patterns and all the normal authorized_keys entry options

Dear List, I have a problem with RODBC on a Paradox-DB, sqlQuery, and special characters in table names. Unfortunately, some of the latter include the underscore <_>. And I am not able to change them. That's not a problem, when I quote the table name: > sqlQuery(channel2, 'SELECT * FROM "anmeldung-alt"') Btw, if I swap ' and " it does not work: >

Hello, can anyone tell me if R has any special function for simulating the structure of human populations? Something like the genetic algorithm? I need to simulate a sample of a population with a specific structure. Is there something on R that can help me? Thanks to everyone. __________________________________________________________

Hello, I am relatively new to using R. The text file contains the date and price . I want to read and manipulate the data in R. However, when I use read.table, it treats all of the data as "factors" and I do not know how to treat the data as numbers: http://r.789695.n4.nabble.com/file/n4498828/p_diarios.txt p_diarios.txt setwd ("C:\\Users\\Sandro\\Dropbox\\R")

I am running R 2.1.1 in a Windows XP environment. I wish to use the sqlSave command to export a dataframe into Microsoft SQL. My dataframe is called temp and has 2 ?columns?, ?monthenddate? and ?value?. Monthenddate is in 'POSIXct', format. (i.e. 'POSIXct', format: chr "1984-01-31" "1984-01-31" "1984-01-31" "1984-01-31" ...). How can I

Hi Paul, Jim, Dennis, and others,   I got RODBC and SQL Server to create a date variable in R (see below). I'm pretty sure the commands I was issuing before were working but that I was stripping off the date class every time I submitted the command "fix(mydata)." So I kept getting the mistaken impression that what I was doing wasn't working.   One thing I've noticed is

Dear all, I've encountered a curious problem. I am trying to run an SQL query using sqlQuery() function in RODBC. The query works fine when run in a stand-alone SQL browser (Microsoft Query Analyzer, in particular). However, when I use the exact same thing from sqlQuery() function, I get the following error: Error in "[.data.frame"(data, , ) : not all specified columns exist

Hi everyone, I am using the sqlQuery function (in RODBC library) to import data from a database into R. My table (called temp) in the database looks like this: category numabc 54469517.307692307692def 36428860.230769230769 I used the following R code to pull data into R:data <-sqlQuery(channel, "select category, num from temp;") However, the result is that "num" gets all its

When saving a data frame with long character variable, approximately longer than 30000 characters, to a text field in PostgreSQL, using RODBC on Windows XP, I get a timestamp saved to the database instead. Is there any way to extend the number of characters that a text variable can receive? Here are the details of my case (simplified): I'm using PostgreSQL to create a table CREATE TABLE
