Hello I have a matlab MAT file that contains one single variable: a. The structure of a is as follows: a.river1.flow (flow values) a.river1.date_flow (date) a.river1.precip (precipitation values) a.river1.date_precip a.river2.flow a.river2.date_flow a.river2.precip a.river2.date_precip I have used readMat to load the variable a in R, however I have no idea how readMat translates a. I managed

For the r script below >datestr <- "01/01/2004" >as.POSIXct(as.Date(datestr, "%d/%m/%Y")) I get the following output "2003-12-31 18:00:00 Central Standard Time" Why is the date a day before. I guess its something to do with the time, but is there a way to get it to return 2004-01-01 instead? Thanks in advance... -Sandeep [[alternative HTML version

I am trying to download a bunch of files from a server, for which I am using download.file( ) within a for loop. The script is working fine except until download.file hits a URL which has no file, at which point it exits. I want to change this behavior to simple log the failure and maintain state within the for loop and iterate to next. I read about try / tryCatch but am having trouble

Dear R-users I need to fit a nonlinear model to a piece of data. The model to be fitted uses past values of the input and the ouput - something like y(k) ~ f(y(k-1),y(k-2),u(k),u(k-1) ....) (k is time index). As far as I know I could use earth(MARS), nnet and etc but I am not sure how to deal with the past values since most, if not all, examples I saw formula does not take in account past

Hello I need to run an r-file that works on Windows on MAC. The first lines of the file are: library(R.matlab) library(Rcompression) Somehow I cannot find where Rcompression is. Am I missing something? Many thanks Ed

Gabor, Thanks much. Your solution is elegant. My overall scheme is to take present date, and check whether it is a weekend, if not, then create a string based on the date, to concatenate into a url link for download.file( ). The files I need to download have a part which is in the format: mmddyy. I am working to make myself a system to connect to exchanges, and download end of day files from

Hello Please see the example below > class(testX) [1] "matrix" > class(testX[1,]) [1] "numeric" Why not matrix? What am I missing here? Is there a way to keep the same class? The reason for the question is that I want to implement a k-step ahead prediction for my own routines and R wrecks does not seem to like [1,] as shown below. >

Dear R-Users I have the following matrix > out$desc [,1] [,2] [1,] "" "" [2,] "y_{01}(k-001)" "" [3,] "y_{01}(k-002)" "" [4,] "y_{01}(k-003)" "" [5,] "u_{01}(k-001)" "" [6,] "u_{01}(k-002)" "" [7,] "u_{01}(k-003)" ""

Hello R is pretty new to me. I need to write a function that returns three matrices of different dimensions. In addition, I need to call a function from a contributed package with the function. I have browsed several manuals and docs but the examples on them are either very simple or extremely hard to follow. Many thanks Ed [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Hello I have a huge file (not an R-file) in which the first column is a string with date, hour, minutes and seconds (For instance, "31-Jul-2010 23:59:00"). I tried as.Date but the error msg was "Error in charToDate(x) : character string is not in a standard unambiguous format". I have checked the help for the function as well as date but to no avail. How can that sort

Hello I have recently upgraded R to the newest version. Unfortunately my old (fortran and C) R-package cannot be installed anymore (was built before R 3.0.0: please re-install it). I have tried R CMD INSTALL package_name but I noticed that R-3.1.1-binary-mac requests gcc-4.8.2 and specific locations for the libraries (gcc and gfortran). Can someone point me to the documentation on how to

Dear R-users I am new to R and struggling not to bother the list with silly questions. I read the documentation on xts and searched for some examples over the internet on how to use plot.xts. The xts object is as follows dataxts : An 'xts' object from 2010-06-27 to 2010-08-05 containing: Data: num [1:56161, 1:14] 74 74.2 74.2 74.1 73.9 ... Indexed by objects of

Hi all, I have been searching all sorts of documentation, reference cards, cheat sheets but can't find why R's crossprod(A, B) which is identical to A%*%B does not produce the same as Matlabs cross(A, B) Supposedly both calculate the cross product, and say so, or where do I go wrong? R is only doing sums in the crossprod however, as indicated by (z <- crossprod(1:4)) # = sum(1 +

Hi, I'm attending summer School at UCLA (IPAM) on "probabilistics models of cognition". I have been an R-user since v. 1.4.1, but was trained in the frequentist tradition (as most psychologists!). I found that all faculty here use matlab and Murphy's bayes net toolbox. I have not had the need to use matlab before, and would love to stick to R for graphics models and

I'm slowly moving my statistical analysis from Matlab to R, and find myself missing two features: a) How do I mimic Matlab's 'hold on'? (I want to show several plots together, when I type two plots one after the other the second overwrites the first) b) How do I mimic Matlab's 'axis'? (after drawing my plots I want to zoom on specific parts- for example, x=0:5,
