Hello together, I'm looking for advice on how to do some tests on strings. What I want to do is the following: (just an example, real strings/sequence are about 200-400 characters long) given set of Strings: String1 abcdefgh String2 bcdefgop use a sliding window of size x to create an vector of all subsequences of size x found in the set (order matters! ). Now create, for every string

Hey all, I'm trying to replicate some plots with ggplot2. The problem is that I need to specify the color for every attribute (drug). If I use the code below the colors get automatically assigned but I need to plot drug1 in black drug2 in blue etc. How do I do that? q = qplot(days,vol,data = cellLine7064, color = drug, geom = c("line", "point")) best regards, Immanuel

Hello all, I'm trying to use zoo.read but can't figure out how to deal with the time format. (example below) would be nice if someone could help. best regards, Immanuel --------------------------- L <- "Date,Time,Open,High,Low,Close,Up,Down 05.02.2001,00:30,421.20,421.20,421.20,421.20,11,0 05.02.2001,01:30,421.20,421.40,421.20,421.40,7,0

Hello all, I'm trying to run a gird parameter search for a svm. Therefore I'M using the ksvm function from the kernlab package. ---- svp <- ksvm(Ktrain,ytrain,type="nu-svc",nu=C) ---- The problem is that the optimization algorithm does not return for certain parameters. I tried to use setTimeLimit() but that doesn't seem to help. I suspect that ksvm() calls c code that

R-users, My question is related to earlier posts about benefits of quadcore over dualcore computers; I am trying to setup a cluster of windows xp computers so that eventually I could make use of 10-20 cpu:s, but for learning how to do this, I am playing around with two laptops. I thought that the package snow would come handy in this situation, but to use snow, I would probably need to install

Hello all, I'm running a parameter grid optimization ( ksvm, kernlab package) and the optimizer seems not to converge for certain parameters and stays in a infinity loop. Would it be possible to abort the execution after x-seconds and continue with the next parameter set? Which R function do need to use to accomplish this? I had a look at, try() etc. but they didn't seem so fit my

Hello all, I'm trying to store some objects (class = "svm") , but if I use a list the objects get somehow converted and I can't retrieve them as objects of type "svm". So how to I properly store objects of that kind? best regards ----------- library(e1071) data(iris) attach(iris) ## classification mode # default with factor response: model <- svm(Species ~ .,

Hi all, I have a problem with the virtual console. I run Xen 3.0.1 (compiled from the sources) on debian 3.1 (as dom0 and domU) on an AMD Athlon 64. I can''t terminate programs with ctrl+c. If I try for example to ping a machine, ping runs forever and cannot be stopped from the console. ctrl+z does then not work either. But if I do the same with ssh, everything works fine. There are

I used to be able to browse the windows shares on the network through Nautilus. I can see them as computers, but when I click on them, it fails. (I'm on Ubuntu 6 LTS, AMD64) About 3 months ago, this failed. But, the windows boxes can all still access my shares on my Linux box. I was going through the trouble shooting, and found this out, but I'm not sure what to do next. I am

Hello all, using package tcltk this is my problem: I want to set a colour of a tclVar(). I have a tklabel (fixed in position) which should display two variables occasionally. If a constraint is fulfilled, the tklabel should display correct<-tclVar('correct') in green, otherwise it should display wrong<-tclVar('wrong') in red! To display the variables is no

Hello R users and developers, I would like to install Rmpi so that I may take advantage of all of the CPUs in my computer, but I cannot get it to install and I am not very good with linux so it is adding to the headache. I have looked through the help archive, but I have not been successful at getting Rmpi to work. I am not sure if I am even installing openMPI correctly in linux. I would really

Hello, I've installed R on my RHEL3 cluster and I am trying to get Rmpi to work properly. R is installed using the following ./configure --prefix=/home/apps/R-2.2.0 I installed snow using R CMD INSTALL /home/apps/snow And finaly Rmpi R CMD INSTALL /home/apps/Rmpi --configure-args=--with-mpi=/path/to/lam There were no errors or warnings upon installation. However when i perform the test

Dear expeRts, I struggle with the following problem using snow clusters for parallel computing: I would like to specify l'Ecuyer's random number generator. Base R creates a .Random.seed of length 7, the first value indicating the kind fo random number generator. I would thus like to use the components 2 to 7 as the seed for l'Ecuyer's random number generator. By doing so, I

Sorry for wasting your time with an incorrect diagnosis in my previous mail! I'm running my script using mpirun -mp 4 and using snowfall+Rmpi on Linux 64bits. I receive the following error, that terminates the run. Any idea? I'm able to reproduce the problem with a minimal script (below). If n < 16371 it completes 9 iterations without problems. Already at 16371 it dies at iteration 7

Hello all, I upgraded my R workstation, and to my dismay, only one core appears to be used during intensive computation of a bioconductor function. What I have now is two dual-core Xeon 5160 CPUs and 10 GB RAM. When I fully load it, top reports about 25% user, 75% idle and 0.98 short-term load. The archives gave nothing helpful besides mention of snow. I thought of posting to HPC, but this system

Dear R-users, we are using library(snow) for computation on a linux cluster with RMPI. We have a problem with clusterEvalQ: after launching clusterEvalQ it seems loading the required library on each node but if we type a function belonging to the loaded package R doesn't find it. > library(snow) # making cluster with 3 nodes > cl <- makeCluster(3, type = "MPI") Loading

Dear List, the advent of multicore machines in the consumer segment makes me wonder whether it would, at least in principle, be possible to divide a computational task into more slave R processes running on the different cores of the same processor, more or less in the way package SNOW would do on a cluster. I am thinking of simple 'embarassingly parallel' problems, just like inverting

Greetings. I see a warning message while compiling OpenMPI and would appreciate it if you tell me what it means. This warning happens with any OpenMPI > 1.6.5. Even before starting a cluster, just "sessionInfo" triggers this warning. I'm pasting in the message from R-3.3.2 (this is MRO). Do the R parallel package cluster functions violate the warnings described here? >

Hi, I am working on a 64-bit rocks cluster and am relatively new to the R package. I am trying to get Snow working with R and Rmpi and have run into the following issue. R is able to load the Rmpi and snow libraries and is able to run simple commands both interactively and batch as follows: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I see about 7 different R packages for multi-process parallel programming. Which do you think is the best, most complete, and most robust to pick for general purpose Erlang-style message-passing programming in R, and why? First here's my use case, and then my analysis so far. I often have code whose basic organization looks something like this: 1. Fetch step: For each date, gather up or
