similar to: Unable to Plot using headers.

I tried command as.numeric(Qty) #converting column"Qty" in object "demand" to numeric. However it remains a non-numeric value. What is the best way to convert a column of data to a numeric value in R? What is the best way to convert dates into a numeric format (or some format able to be used in an x,y scatter) while still maintaining its inherent "date" property?

Despite both graphing directly and with "attach" I am still getting a screwed up graphical output as well as an error. My table is object "demand" w/ columns Date and

I'm trying to convert a column in a data frame with dates from a "Factor" type to a "Date Object" but I am encountering and error. (I am having trouble plotting an x,y scatter and I suspect it's something with my data format).

Hello! I am trying import data into R and im running into a snag. GOAL: Import a 4 column, 8,000 row table into R including headers. WHAT I'VE ATTEMPTED: Original data was in Excel format.

I have a method: ? def reduceProuctInventoryBy(product_id, reduction) ? ? t=Product.find(:first, :conditions =>["id = ?", product_id]) ? ? t.qty=(t.qty-reduction) ? ? t.save ? end and the model: class Product < ActiveRecord::Base ? validates_presence_of :qty, :specialDescription ? validates_numericality_of :qty end but when i run my method, I get this: "can''t

With this example set.seed(123) A <- matrix(runif(40), nrow = 8) y <- 1:nrow(A) A.laqr <- qr(A, LAPACK=TRUE) both qr.qy(A.laqr,y) and qr.qty(A.laqr,y) give the respective error messages Error in qr.qy(A.laqr, y) : 'b' must be a numeric matrix Error in qr.qty(A.laqr, y) : 'b' must be a numeric matrix However when Lapack is not used as in A.liqr <- qr(A,

I am having some difficulty understanding the implication of lazy evaluation mixed with DUP=F in a .Fortran call. In qr.qty from base DUP is not used as an argument so defaults to T. I am calling qr.qty with a very large array and would like to set DUP=F in the .Fortran call so that qr.qty would be defined as copied below. Is there some risk that a variable used as the argument in the original

Hi, I couldn''t find a better word for pop, but let''s go: There are 3 models: sale, pop and product sale: -total:integer pop: -quantity:integer -discount:float product: -name:string -price:float A sale can have many different products, each one has a quantity and discount associated. So each sale has_many :products through => pops And each product has_many :sales

Hi, I''m creating a list of ingredients on a page. When the user clicks the ''Add Ingredient'' button a record gets added to the db and the ingredient gets added to the page.

I use sqldf to join 2 dataframes from 2 distinct databases : a and b come from old sqldf's. sqldf("select a.*, b.*, case a.QTY when null then b.QTY else a.QTY end as NEW_QTY" from a inner join b on a.OBJECT=b.OBJECT") R doesn't understand "when null". I tried with "when NA", "when '' ", "when ' ' " but it doesn't

Dear R people, I do not have much knowledge about linear algebra but currently I need to understand what the function qr.qty is actually doing. The documentation states that it calculates t(Q) %*% y via a previously performed QR matrix decomposition. In order to do that, I tried following basic example: m<-matrix(c(1,0,0,0,1,0,0,0,1,0,0,1),ncol=3) # 4x3 matrix

Hi list, I tried to use nls to do some nonlinear least square fitting on my data with 340 observations and 10 variables, but as I called nls() function, I got this error message: Error in qr.qty(QR, resid) : 'qr' and 'y' must have the same number of rows Then I traced back a little bit into nls() function, the error seemed to happen when calling nlsiter() internal function, but

Let's say you have a dataframe of car trade-ins. For example, each row contains oldcar newcar qty and a typical entry could be lexus bmw 1 I put the qty column to allow for fleet purchases, where one purchase may convert multiple cars at once. I'd like to show what's going on. I could do a histogram of newcar to show the frequency each type of car is bought. If there
