Greeting R Community, I am a windows user so this problem may be specific to windows. I often want to source files from within R such as: C:\Users\Rinker\Desktop\Research & Law\Data\School Data 09-10. To source this file I need to go through the path and replace all the backslashes (\) with forward slashes (/). I usually do this in MS Word using the replace option, however, I'd like

R Community, I often am in need of viewing the reference manuals of packages and do not have Internet access. I have used the code: path <- find.package('tm') system(paste(shQuote(file.path(R.home("bin"), "R")),"CMD", "Rd2pdf",shQuote(path))) someone kindly provided from this help list to generate the manuals from the latex files.

Hello R community, This isn't a technical question about R: I have used http://lib.stat.cmu.edu/R/CRAN/ as my mirror for some time now. As of a few days now I don't seem to be able to use this mirror. The link from CRAN to this repository does not work either. Does anyone know the fate of this repository? Cheers,Tyler Rinker If this was not the appropriate place for this question

I have a long equation that I need to break in the R documentation of a package or it trails off the right hand side of the page. Here's the formula: \deqn{Cov(r_{ist}, r_{iuv})= [.5\rho_{ist}\rho_{iuv}(\rho_{isu}^2 + \rho_{isv}^2 + \rho_{itu}^2 + \rho_{itv}^2) + \rho_{isu}\rho_{itv}+ \rho_{isv}\rho_{itu}-(\rho_{ist}\rho_{isu}\rho_{isv} + \rho_{its}\rho_{itu}\rho_{itv}) +

Greetings R community, I am making my first package and have run into the need to use other packages. I pass all the checks in the command prompt running Rcmd check package.name. In the Description file I have included: Depends: R (>= 2.13), plotrix Repository: CRAN Now I create the zip file for windows 7. I delete my plotrix package from my library to create a setup where others

In my R learning I've come across a situation in which a piece of code that works on the work space outside a function does not work inside the function. WARNING THIS EMAIL CONTAINES THE CODE:#rm(list=ls()) THIS WILL CLEAR ALL OBJECTS FROM YOUR WORKSPACE! When I use rm(list=ls()) and then ls() it shows character(0) So I tried to make a quick function to speed this up as follows:

Estimados R-users: Estoy intentando usar la función 'agrep' para hacer búsquedas en cadenas de texto. El parámetro max.distance permite controlar la medida de aproximación de búsqueda de la función de Levenshtein. No obstante, cuando hago búsquedas específicas no obtengo siempre el resultado deseado y no se si es un bug o que no entiendo bien el algoritmo de búsqueda. Por

The documentation for agrep says it uses the Levenshtein edit distance, but it seems to get this wrong in certain cases when there is a combination of deletions and substitutions. For example: > agrep("abcd", "abcxyz", max.distance=1) [1] 1 That should've been a no-match. The edit distance between those strings is 3 (1 substitution, 2 deletions), but agrep matches

Happy new year everybody, I'm getting the following while trying to use the agrep() function: > pattern <- "XXX" > subject <- c("oooooo", "oooXooo", "oooXXooo", "oooXXXooo") > max <- list(ins=0, del=0, sub=0) # I want exact matches only > agrep(pattern, subject, max=max) [1] 4 OK > max$sub <- 1 # One allowed

Hi all. This is my first message at R-help...so I'm hoping I have some beginner's luck and get some good help for my problem! FYI I have just started using R recently so my knowledge of R is pretty preliminary. Okay here is what I need help with - I need to know how to use agrep in a for loop. I need to compare elements of a vector of names with other elements of the same vector.

Hi all, I have two questions 1 - I have the version 1.4.1 of R, and it doesn't have the 'agrep' function in the base library. Is there a way to make this funcion avaliable in R 1.4.1? I mean, how to 'copy' it from R 1.8.1 and 'paste' it in R 1.4.1? 2 - The AGREP function doesn't give me the Levenshtein distance (edit distance). Is there a function in R that does

Hello R Helpers, Business - 64 bit windows 7, R 2.11.1 I am trying to match the character contents of one list, called 'exclude', to those of a second list, called 'dataset' dataset is a list of file names with folder locations, and looks like this when called: > dataset [1] "A/10-10-29a-13.cdf" "A/10-10-29a-14.cdf" "A/10-10-29a-15.cdf"

Hi, I have to match names where names can be recorded with errors or additions. Now I am searching for a string search function which returns always the "closest" match. E.g. searching for "Washington" it should return only Washington but not Washington, D.C. But it also could be that the list contains only "Hamburg" but the record I am searching for is

Simple question but searching rseek did not yield the results I wanted. Question: Is there a way to open a help manual for a package from within R. For instance I would like to type a function in r for the tm package and R would open that PDF as seen here: http://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/tm/tm.pdf -The vignette function exists for vignettes [vignette("package.name")] so I

Greetings R Community, I am working with the ifelse function and it is returning something unexpected. In the code the line with the MODE1 assignment the output is a vector [1] 4 5 6 but when I put the MODE1 object into the ifelse function [R}'s output for MODE1 is the first number from the string (4). Why is this? Given the supplied vector of x I would assume both the MODE1 and ifelse()
