Dear list, I wonder if there a better way to have rbind/cbind/append to create the first element (if it is empty) instead of doing the following in a loop? for (i in 1:10) { if (i == 1) { aRow = SomeExpression(i) } else { aRow = rbind(aRow,SomeExpression(i)) } } Thanks Anthony

Dear R-help, I wonder if you could give me some suggestions in how to do a union join of two data frames as follow: -> union join the common column, and insert a 0 if one is missing. I made a function to perform the following, and I know it may not that quite welly written, but it works. Any suggestions are welcome, many thanks. Anthony > q1 =

Dear List, I wonder why when using read.csv(), if the column name contains a numeric i.e. a stock symbols-"0001.HK", it will automatically insert an "X" character to the column names - "X0001.HK". Now I have to manually do a loop and use substring() to remove the "X" character. Any advice? Thanks Anthony

Hello I am new to R and I need to convert some dates (numeric format by matlab) to actual dates in R. For instance, Matlab -> 730456 -> >> datestr(730456) ans = 02-Dec-1999 R - > library(zoo) > as.Date(730456) [1] "3969-12-03" I don't not mind the output format but it needs to be right. Many thanks Ed

Dear Sir, Thanks for your mail and help. I got this error while trying to run your code. sbux1.z <- read.csv.zoo(u, FUN = as.yearmon, format = fmt) Error in read.table(file = file, header = header, sep = sep, quote = quote, : 'file' must be a character string or connection Thanks and Regards, Upananda Pani On Tue, Sep 19, 2017 at 4:31 PM, Upananda Pani <upananda.pani at

Thanks for the response. Yes, I did study the vignette but did not understand it fully. Anyway, I have tried once again now. I am happy to say that I have got what I wanted. library(Ryacas) x <- Sym("x");U <- Sym("U");x0 <- Sym("x0");C <- Sym("C") my_func <- function(x,U,x0,C) { return (U/(1+exp(-(x-x0)/C)))} FirstDeriv <-

Thanks in advance. I'm having a trouble with data saving. I want to run the same data which is in Ecdat library at different statistic programs(excel, stata and matlab) The data I want to use is library(Ecdat) data(Housing) and I want to extract this data our of R as *.dta *.xls formats. So, my first try was to open the data in R window and drag and paste to excel or notepad. BUT, it

Hello, I'm attempting to access a specific number of sub diagonals in a MATRIX and have been accustomed to using spdiags in MATLAB or Octave. I've got a solution pieced together using for loops and it works though isn't vectorized and liable to run very slow for large matrices. As an example: A = 1 2 3 4 5 9 8 7 6 5 4 5 6 7 8 5 4 3 2 1 8 7 6 0 1 The subdiagonals are: 9,5,3,0 4,4,6

Hi Gabor's code works as expeceted without error. What is "u" in your case?

Hi all, I would like to do some QSAR analysis (quantitative structure activity relationship). I need to use some Partial Least Squares (PLS) regression, but I have not seen this option on the R-project. Is it possible to do this kind of regression on R? thank you in advance best regards, olivier [[alternate HTML version deleted]]

Dear All, Thanks a lot for your help. Would you please let me know if i want to read a csv file as zoo object from my local file rather than directly from the website, how to do that? library(zoo) u <- "https://faculty.washington.edu/ezivot/econ424/sbuxPrices.csv" fmt <- "%m/%d/%Y" With sincere regards, Upananda Pani On Wed, Sep 20, 2017 at 3:22 PM, PIKAL Petr

I am interested in testing two similar nls models to determine if the lines are statistically different when fitted with two different data sets; one corn, another soybean. I know I can do this in linear models by testing for interactions. See Introductory Statistics with R by Dallgaard p212-218 for an example. I have two different data sets I am comparing to lai. ci.re should have very

I am porting a program in matlab to R, The problem is that Matlab has a feature where symbols that aren't arguments are evaluated immediately. That is: Y=3 F=@(x) x*Y Will yield a function such that F(2)=6. If later say. Y=4 then F(2) will still equal 6. R on the other hand has lazy evaluation. F<-function(x){x*Y} Will do the following Y=3 F(2)=6 Y=4 F(2)=8. Does anyone know of away to

Hi, I'm having a problem converting a Matlab program into R. The R code works almost all the time, but about 4% of the time R's optim function gets stuck on a local minimum whereas matlab's fminsearch function does not (or at least fminsearch finds a better minimum than optim). My understanding is that both functions default to Nelder-Mead optimization, but what's different about

Hello All, I have searched but haven't been able to find an answer to this question. I'm writing a function that needs to be able evaluate the right-hand side of a general non-linear formula for different parameter values, similar to what nls() does. I looked through the nls() code but it isn't clear what is going on. Could someone point me to a reference or a way I might do this?

Dear R Core, working on my dynamic factor modelling package, which requires several subroutines to create and update several system matrices, I come back to the issue of being annoyed by R not supporting multiple assignment out of the box like Matlab, Python and julia. e.g. something like A, C, Q, R = init_matrices(X, Y, Z) would be a great addition to the language. I know there are several

Dear R-help, Would it be possible to have the "prompt" option accept a function, such as date()? This way, I can easily deduce the elapse time of top level R expressions. This would be similar to how Unix shells handle their prompt variables.

Hi there, Ive tried trawling the lists for a solution but I could not find any matches. I am typing up all my code on a Linux machine and I call this other script file from my script file using source("foo.r"). Now sometimes i access my folder from my Windows machine at work (the files are on dropbox). But of course my windows machine would not understand the linux path name. Is

Hello again. Now I have the following: > xx [1] "Solve(1 - R/100==(2*y)/10000,R)" > yacas(xx) expression(list(R == 100 * (1 - 2 * y/10000))) > I would like to put in a value for y and obtain R. I've tried more stuff with eval and Eval, but no luck yet. Any suggestions would be much appreciated. Thanks, Erin -- Erin Hodgess Associate Professor Department of Computer

Dear R users, I am a newbie. Just switched from MATLAB. So thanks a lot for your patience. I have 50000 spectra collected in field. Each spectra has two columns : Wavelength (56) and the actual measurement. Each measurement came in a different .txt file on disk (50000 files in total). I wrote a script that reads every spectra in a for loop and constructs two variables : Wavelength (56) and
