Hi all, all.equal is generally very useful when you want to find the differences between two objects. It breaks down however, when you have two long strings to compare: > all.equal(a, b) [1] "1 string mismatch" Does any one know of any good text diffing tools implemented in R?

Hi, I am a new user of R using R 2.8.1 in windows 2003. I have a csv file with single column which contain the 30,000 students names. There were typo errors while entering this student names. The actual list of names is < 1000. However we dont have that list for keyword search. I am interested in grouping/cluster these names as those which are similar letter to letter. Are there any

Hello guys I am new to this list and for R too. I am wondering if there is a patch for the SPSS reading code on the foreign package, in order to be able to read long variable names. Right now read.spss() just trunc the names to 8 characters. Or if someone could help me on other way: I have to process everyday a lot of SPSS Syntax Files and Dat files that come from one system that can only export

Corect me if this is not the right place to post this. I have a mdbdriver.jar (to access an MSAccess file) under Linux. I bought the license from http://www.csv-jdbc.com/ guys. The driver work fine when tested with DBVisualizer or another JDBC thing. The problem is that driver needs 3 other more jar files to work. Under R I have tried this and does not work: > library(RJDBC) Loading required

That is very strange. I am using Ubuntu 16.04 and managed to install it in less than 5 minutes.

Hi all, I am new. I am installing the library sjPlot on Ubunto 16.10 and I guess it is installing some dependencies. But it is taking more than 1.5 hours, is it possible? It has right now halted (hope momentarily) in installing the package 'rstan', particularly the file lang__grammars__statement_grammar_inst.o Other packages installed include: dygraphs, colourpicker, raster. Is it good

Hi, What package would you recommend for analyzing the validity/reliability of multiple choice tests. Doing things such as classical test analysis, factor analysis, item response theory. I've used psychometric (item.exam), MiscPsycho (alpha.Summary), and ltm (rcor.test). MiscPsycho reported the numbers most similar to what I get in SPSS: corrected point biserial correlations,

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

I'm finalizing development of a package that will include a vignette. Without the vignette, the package builds fine with no warnings and is ready for distribution. Now, I am following the directions for developing vignettes "Sweave, Part II: Package Vignettes" by Friedrich Leisch. I am using a windows XP machine (other session info below). Here is what I have done. 1) I add the

An updated version of the Miscellaneous Psychometrics package has been updated to CRAN. The following updates are included in the package: 1) An implementation of the Stocking-Lord procedure for linking test scales. 2) An implementation of the Levenshtein algorithm for comparing character strings 3) stringProbs, a function for computing the probability of a given Levenshtein Distance 4) Three

Hi, I am very happy. My problems are solved without one little thing: (Iske <- matrix(c(1, 1, 1, 2, 2, 2, 1, 1, 1, 5, 1, 2, 2, 2, 1, 1, 1, 4, 4, 4, 4, 3, 3, 3, 3, 3, 3, 3, 3, 3, 3, 3, 5, 4, 4, 4, 4, 4, 4, 2, 2, 2, 2, 4, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 1, 2), ncol = 5)) #My Matrix Iske<- Iske+33 #I want see the letters (Iske.char<-apply(Iske, 1, function(x) rawToChar(as.raw(x)))) #Numbers to

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

Hello all, I''m in my third month of Ruby on Rails. I think it''s coming along fairly well. My current issue is this. I''m do a search based on string data some of which is very long. So I''m doing a similar match using "amatch" gem. When I have a 50% or greater match I store the id to an array. How can I do a find looping thru the array then send the

This may be offtopic to Rails, but what are people doing to find records based on fuzzy string matches? For example, if you wanted to find a Person with name "David Heinemeier Hansson" but searched using the string "Dave Hansson". Currently I am find_by_sql that calls the PostgreSQL function "levenshtein(string1, string2)" which returns results with a score
