HI, I am really messing up to make a symmetrical matrix using upper.tri() & lower.tri() function. Here is my code:   > set.seed(1) > mat = matrix(rnorm(25), 5, 5) > mat            [,1]       [,2]       [,3]        [,4]        [,5] [1,] -0.6264538 -0.8204684  1.5117812 -0.04493361  0.91897737 [2,]  0.1836433  0.4874291  0.3898432 -0.01619026  0.78213630 [3,] -0.8356286  0.7383247

Dear all, suppose I have following matrix:   > mat <- matrix(rnorm(25), 5) > > mat             [,1]       [,2]        [,3]       [,4]       [,5] [1,]  0.97056228 -1.3278509 -0.73511792  2.1650629 -0.4411997 [2,]  0.58613700 -0.2559899 -1.18334248 -1.4990907  1.8138846 [3,] -1.03333313  2.0227887  0.89622681  0.6483973 -1.5523283 [4,]  0.38968833  0.2490004 -0.02301061 -0.2705150

Hi. I'm writing a print method for an object that includes a numeric matrix for which the lower diagonal elements are not meaningful. So I make the lower diagonal of my matrix NA and print it. But my co-author does not like NA there and wants a dash. I have tried coercing the matrix to character, essentially by M[is.na(M)] <- "-" but this interferes with the pleasing column

Hi, thanks everyone for any help in advance. I found myself dealing with a tabular time-series data formatted each row like [ time stamp, ID, values]. I made a small examples: X = data.frame(t=c(1,1,1,2,2,2,2,3,3,3,4,4,4,5,5),id =

Hello, coxph does not use any information that are in the dataset between event times (or "death times") , since computation only occurs at event times. For instance, removing observations when there is no event at that time in the whole dataset does not change the results: > set.seed(1) > data <- as.data.frame(cbind(start=c(1:5,1:5,1:4),stop=c(2:6,2:6,2:5),status=c(rep(

I want to create a number of vectors like : vec1 <- rnorm(1) vec2 <- rnorm(2) vec3 <- rnorm(3) and so on........... Here I tried following : for (i in 1:10) paste("vec", i, sep="") <- rnorm(i) However obviously that is not working. Here vectors I need to be seperated i.e I do not want to create a "list". How to modify above code? -- View this

Can somebody tell me that, if I do some arithmetic calculation over 2 matrices then how the column names and row names are preserved? It seems that, for multiplication, column names and row names of the 2nd matrix are preserved and for additional, there seems not having any explicit rule: > set.seed(1) > dat1 <- matrix(rnorm(25), 5); colnames(dat1) = rownames(dat1) =

Dear friends, hope I could be able to explain my problem through following example. Please consider this: > set.seed(1) > input <- rnorm(10) > input [1] -0.6264538 0.1836433 -0.8356286 1.5952808 0.3295078 -0.8204684 0.4874291 0.7383247 0.5757814 -0.3053884 > tag <- vector(length=10) for(i in 1:10) # if there is any ****error**** in evaluating

Hello I would like to delete some values at random in a data frame. Does anyone know how I could do? With best regards Caroline

hi all a simple question i want to run simulations in r. i however want the experiments to be repeated at a later time with exactly the same numbers by other users. can i set the random number seed for rnorm in some way? e.g. is there some arguement that goes with rnorm? please supply an example regards Allan

How to force R to print 2 decimal places in column of a data.frame? I tried to do so: x = inp(format(rounf(inp$Tamanho, 2), nsmall = 2),) where "INP" is data.frame and "Size" is the name of column. But has error: Error in eval.with.vis(expr, envir, enclos) : could not find function "inp" Lesandro Veja quais s?o os assuntos do momento no Yahoo! +Buscados

Dear all, given two numeric vectors x and y, the ACF(x) at lag k is cor(x(t),x(t+k)) while the CCF(x,y) at lag k is cor(x(t),y(t-k)). See below for a simple example. > set.seed(1) > x <- rnorm(10) > y <- rnorm(10) > x [1] -0.6264538 0.1836433 -0.8356286 1.5952808 0.3295078 -0.8204684 0.4874291 0.7383247 0.5757814 -0.3053884 > y [1] 1.51178117 0.38984324

Dear List, I'd appreciate you guidance for obtaining the desired result shown below, by combining tapply(x, g, mean) and g in the example. Basically, I'm trying to create a vector whose values are based on the result from tapply(x, g, mean) but that follow the pattern and length given by the factor g. Of course I'm looking for a generic solution (i.e, not something that just work

Hello, which.max() only returns one index value, the one for the maximum value. If I want the two index values for the two largest values, is this a decent solution, or is there a nicer/better R'ish way? max2 <-function(v) { m=which.max(v) v[m] = -v[m] m2=which.max(v) result=c(m, m2) result } Seems to work ok. Thanks, Esmail

Hi, dear R-helpers, I have a simple question regarding selecting subset of a variable based on another variable. Here is the example: xx=rnorm(10) id=sample(1:10, 10) temp=c(6, 1, 8, 2) Now, all I want is xx's that their id are 6, 1, 8, 2, instead of the position. Any suggestions ? Thank you all your help !!

I want to calculate a statistic on a number of subgroups of a dataframe, then put the results into a dataframe. (What SAS PROC MEANS does, I think, though it's been years since I used it.) This is possible using by(), but it seems cumbersome and fragile. Is there a more straightforward way than this? Here's a simple example showing my current strategy: > dataset <-

Hi, may be simle question, but a do not find it anywhere. Is there same function like max() ,but giving more results. max() give 1number-maximum I need funcion what give p bigest number. many thanks -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/bigest-part-of-vector-tp22188901p22188901.html Sent from the R help mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

Regarding a previous question concerning the kmeans function I've tried the same example and I also get a strange result (at least according to what is said in the help of the function kmeans). Apparently, the function is disregarding the initial cluster centers one gives it. According to the help of the function: centers: Either the number of clusters or a set of initial cluster

Hi, I've implemented parallelization in one of my packages using the 'parallel' package -- many thanks for providing it! In my package I'm importing 'parallel' and so added it to the DESCRIPTION file's 'Import:' tag and also added a 'importFrom("parallel", ...)' statement in the NAMESPACE file. Parallelization works nicely, but my package

Hello all, I have a simple function which calculates summary statistics of a dataset in terms of a factor (say area). > x = data.frame(Area = c(rep("cleanup", 5), rep("ref", 5)), TcCB = c(rnorm(5)+2, rnorm(5)));x Area TcCB 1 cleanup 2.5829747 2 cleanup 2.6796868 3 cleanup 2.5437094 4 cleanup 2.8453616 5 cleanup 1.1789683 6 ref 1.0140391 7
