Thank you very much for your useful suggestions. These are exactly what I was looking for. foo <- list(foo1, foo2, foo3) lapply(foo, function(x) matrix(unlist(x), nrow = length(x), byrow = TRUE)) or lapply(foo, function(x) do.call('rbind', x)) Best, Muhammad Subianto On 4/11/06, Muhammad Subianto <msubianto at gmail.com> wrote: > Dear all, > I have a result my experiment

Dear all, I have a result my experiment like this below (here my toy example): foo1 <- list() foo1[[1]] <- c(10, 20, 30) foo1[[2]] <- c(11, 21, 31) foo2 <- list() foo2[[1]] <- c(100, 200, 300) foo2[[2]] <- c(110, 210, 310) foo3 <- list() foo3[[1]] <- c(1000, 2000, 3000) foo3[[2]] <- c(1100, 2100, 3100) list(foo1,foo2,foo3) The result: > list(foo1,foo2,foo3) [[1]]

Hello, I was just assigned to perform a cost effectiveness study in healthcare. We are studying the cost effectiveness of a proposed diagnostic vs. current screening procedures. One of the team members suggest a commercial software package called "TreeAge Pro". Looking at the description, it appears to be a nice GUI to some very simple models that could be easily constructed in R.

Dear List: In short, I am writing a number of functions as building blocks for other functions and have some questions about scoping and passing arguments. Suppose I have functions foo1, foo2, and foo3 such that: foo1<-function(a=1,b=TRUE,c=FALSE){#do stuff}; foo2<-function(x=1,y=FALSE,z=c(1,2,3,4)){#do stuff}; foo3<-function(lambda,...){lambda*foo1()*foo2()}; I want to be able to

I have a general style question about R coding. Suppose I'm writing a function (foo1) that calls other functions (foo2, foo3, ...) which have complicated argument lists (e.g. optim(), plot()), _and_ I may be calling several different functions in the body of foo1. Since foo2 and foo3 have different sets of arguments, I can't just use "..." ; I did write some code a while ago

Hi all, For some reason, I would like to use functions bellow (see example code bellow), but instead I get the following error message: *Error in foo2(...) : unused argument(s) (arg3 = 3)* #--------------------- # example code #--------------------- foo1 <- function(arg1,...) { print(arg1) foo2(...) foo3(...) } foo2 <- function(arg2) { print(arg2) } foo3 <- function(arg3) {

Hi the list In the DESCRIPTION file of my package foo0, I have: Depends: foo1 Imports: foo2 Suggest: foo3 Enhence: foo4 If I understand correctly, to install foo0 on my computer, I need to already have foo1, foo2, foo3. foo4 is not necessary. I my R sesssion, when I will write: library(foo0), then the package foo1 will be attach. foo2, foo3 and foo4 will not. Is that correct? But what is

I have a bunch of data sets that were created for the libsvm tool. They are in "colon separated sparse format". i.e. 1 5:1 27:3 345:10 Is a row with the label of "1" and only has values in columns 5, 27, and 345. I want to read these into a data.frame in R. Is there a simple way to do this? -- Noah Silverman, M.S. UCLA Department of Statistics 8117 Math Sciences

Hello, I'm attempting to build a package using R 2.15.0 on OS X I am getting a generic failure when performing a cran type check on the package. Even with a very simple test package, it still fails int he same place. Example: In R: rm(list=ls()) foo <- function(x){print(x)} package.skeleton(name="foo") Then, at the command line: R CMD build foo R CMD check --as-cran

Hi, I have a very large data set stored as an xts object. xts is very nice about showing row labels as "human readable" dates and times. I want the actual epoch values that are stored internally. The only way I can find to access them is one-at-a-time using the internal function: xcoredata() Calling this in an entire column, the "R" way doesn't work. It will only

Hello, I have a time series object (xts) that I iterate over in a loop. Works fine. My challenge is that I want to be able to reference other entries in the series by math. i.e. For today's observation, what were the last 5 observations? If indexed numerically, it is trivial, but I can figure out how to do this with dates. This is slightly more difficult as there may not be an

Hi all, Working with S4 object, I definine two class foo1 and foo2. I define '[' (resp. '[<-') for the two classes. Then I define a third class foo3 that inherit from both foo1 and foo2. Is there a way to make '[' (resp. '[<-') for foo3 inherit from '[' (resp. '[<-') for foo1 and foo2? Thanks Christophe

Hello, I need to calculate a moving average and an exponentially weighted moving average over a fairly large data set (500K rows). Doing this in a for loop works nicely, but is slow. ewma <- data$col[1] N <- dim(data)[1] for(i in 2:N){ data$ewma <- alpha * data$ewma[i-1] + (1-alpha) * data$value[i] } Since the moving average "accumulates" as we move through the data,

Hi everyone, Hi ggplot users in particular, ggplot makes it very easy to plot things given their names when you use it interactively (and therefore can provide the names of the columns). qplot(x,foo,data=A) where A has columns (x,y,foo,bar) for example but I would like to use this from inside a function to which the name of the column is given. I cannot find an elegant way to make this

Hello, I need to design a fairly simple front-end for someone to use an R script system that I've built. My thought was to just use the text based menus available in the base R package, perhaps in some kind of loop. How have other people done this? Any "best practices" that you can recommend? Thanks! -- Noah Silverman UCLA Department of Statistics 8117 Math Sciences Building

My apologies for asking what is doubtless a dumb question, but I have scant experience in R. It would be very convenient in doing lots of plots to be able to do them in a loop that stepped through a vector of variable names. For example one could say x<-("mydates") y<-c("foo1","foo2","foo3") #where "foon" were vectors

Hi to all Authors@R: c(person("fooa","foob", role = c("aut","cre"), email = "fooa.foob@fooc.de"), person("foo1","foo2", role = c("ctb"), email = "foo1.foo2@foo3.de")) Author: fooa foob, with contributions from foo1 foo2 using r CMD check --as-cran .. (R 3.1

Hi, Looking at a large data set with many factors. I would like to expand each factor variable into multiple new variables for each level. (0,1) coding. My first though was just to code a big nasty loop, to take each level and cbind a column onto my data set. But, that seems painful. There must be a better way. Is there an "easy" way to do this in R? (Note, I don't want to

Unfortunately, some data I need to work with was delivered in a rather messy Excel file. I want to import into R and clean up some things so that I can do my analysis. Pulling in a CSV from Excel is the easy part. My current challenge is dealing with some text mixed in the values. i.e. 118 5.7 <2.0 3.7 Since this column in Excel has a "<2.0" value, then R reads the

Dear R developers, Taking advantage of the yesterday discussion about the use of Depends/Import/Suggests/Enhances, I would like to add a related question. Let's assume, in the DESCRIPTION file of my package foo0, I have: Depends: foo1 Imports: foo2 while in the NAMESPACE file of my package I have importFrom("foo2", f2) and within my package I use the following two external
