similar to: Thiel's Uncertainty Coefficient

Dear sir Schwartz, In response to a granted online request to receive R code in order to generate Theil's Uncertainty coefficient, I was hoping I could receive the same favor. https://stat.ethz.ch/pipermail/r-help/2011-May/279210.html Thank you in advance, I hope to hear from you. Kind regards, Jos? Snoep Stagiair Universitair | MC ES - SOFY +31 6 13060740 Snoep.Jose at

Dear colleagues in R, Has anybody implemented the 1) (Goodman & Kruskal) lambda or the 2) (Thiel's) uncertainty coefficient statistics (in the asymmetric and symmetric forms), or is anyone aware that they might reside in some package? A search in the R archives does indicate that they are (somehow) part of the CoCo package, but I would rather not start learning how to transform my

Hi, You were on the right track using stack(), but you just pass the entire data frame as a single object, not the separate columns: > stack(NamesWide) ? values ? ind 1 ? ?Tom Name1 2 ? Dick Name1 3 ?Larry Name2 4 ?Curly Name2 Note that stack also returns the index (second column of 'ind' values), which tells you which column in the source data frame the stacked values originated

Package? The **names** of the top levels of your lists, "Mar.09.2018", "Mar.23.2018" certainly look like dates and if they are -- I have no idea what package/context is -- they certainly could be formatted as such. See e.g. "date-time" . There are also several package that provide date tools. Cheers, Bert Bert Gunter "The trouble with having an open mind is

Hi R-Helpers, Sorry to bother you, but I have a simple task that I can't figure out how to do. For example, I have some names in two columns NamesWide<-data.frame(Name1=c("Tom","Dick"),Name2=c("Larry","Curly")) and I simply want to get a single column

Package? Quantmod. In the subject line. I agree that they look like dates, I don't know how to determine if they are actually dates. Josh Ulrich usually answers questions along these lines very informatively and quickly. One reasonable course of action is to wait to see if he does the same with this one. --JJS ________________________________ From: Bert Gunter <bgunter.4567 at

Dear R Helpers, I am trying to write a character value to the row of a data frame and am running into a problem that I don't have when I do this for numeric arguments. For example, the following works just fine: > test<-data.frame(number=numeric(1)) > test[1,]<-.5 > test number 1 0.5 But the following bombs out: > hold<-data.frame(symbol=character(1)) >

Hi R Helpers, Is it possible to interpret the top level of the list as a date after downloading all the option chain data for a ticker? For example, after I run aapl_total<-getOptionChain("AAPL", NULL) the top descriptor of the lists is a date (Mar.09.2018, Mar.23.2018, etc.). So if want to subset down to those parts of the list that correspond to say, (expiration)

Just to repeat: you have NamesWide<-data.frame(Name1=c("Tom","Dick"),Name2=c("Larry","Curly")) and you want NamesLong<-data.frame(Names=c("Tom","Dick","Larry","Curly")) There must be something I am missing, because NamesLong <- data.frame(Names = c(NamesWide$Name1, NamesWide$Name2)) appears to

Dear R Helpers, I have another one of those problems involving a very simple step, but due to my inexperience I can't find a way to solve it. I had a look at a number of on-line references, but they don't speak to this problem. I have a variable with 20 values > table (testY2$redgroups) 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16

Dear R Helpers, I have a large number of data frames and I need to create a new column inside each data frame. Because there is a large number, I need to "loop" through this, but I don't know the syntax of assigning a new column name dynamically. Below is a simple example of what I need to do. Assume that I have to do this for all 26 letters and you should see the form of the

Dear R Helpers, I have about 20 data frames that I need to do a series of data scrubbing steps to. I have the list of data frames in a list so that I can use lapply. I am trying to build a function that will do the data scrubbing that I need. However, I am new to functions and there is something fundamental that I am not understanding. I use the return function at the end of the function and

Dear R Users, I am working with gsub for the first time. I am trying to remove some characters from a string. I have hit the problem where the period is the shorthand for 'everything' in the R language when what I want to remove is the actual periods. In the example below, I simply want to remove the periods as I have removed the comma, but instead the complete string is wiped out. I

Dear R Helpers, I am trying to isolate a set of characters between two other characters in a long string file. I tried some of the examples on the R help pages and elsewhere, but I am not able to get it. Your help would be much appreciated. require(scrapeR)

I may be missing something but using the plain old c() combine function seems to work fine: df <- data.frame(left = 1:5, right = 6:10) df.combined <- data.frame(comb = c(df$left, df$right)) df left right 1 1 6 2 2 7 3 3 8 4 4 9 5 5 10 df.combined comb 1 1 2 2 3 3 4 4 5 5 6 6 7 7 8 8 9 9 10 10 -----Original

Dear colleagues in R, Has anybody implemented the 1) (Goodman & Kruskal) lambda 2) (Thiel's) uncertainty coefficient Tanks Rafael M Ramos [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Dear R Helpers, I am trying to change the name of an object using the assign function. When I use paste on the new object but not the old, everything is fine: The new object is a direct copy of the old object. When I use a paste for both the new and the old object, however, the new object is simply the character representation of the old object name, not the old object itself. The example

Hi, I have been learning the quantmod package over the last several days. I went to check some of my data pulls against other sources and was surprised to find that a few tickers that have single characters do not successfully scrape from Google Finance using getFin(). Particularly require(quantmod) getFin("A") getFin("E") getFin("F") getFin("G")

Dear R Helpers, I did a search for deleting rows based on conditions but wasn't able to find an example that addressed the error that I am getting. I am hoping that this is a simple syntax phenomenon that somebody else knows off the top of their head. My apologies for not providing a reproducible example but I think that the information given will allow someone to give me a hint. I want to

Dear R Helpers, I need help with a slightly unusual situation in which I am trying to select some columns from a data frame. I know how to use the subset statement with column names as in: x=as.data.frame(matrix(c(1,2,3, 1,2,3, 1,2,2, 1,2,2, 1,1,1),ncol=3,byrow=T)) all.cols<-colnames(x) to.keep<-all.cols[1:2] Kept<-subset(x,select=to.keep) Kept
