Hello, First time posting to this mail list. I'd like to use R in the most efficient way. I'm accomplishing what I want, but feel there is a more R'ish way to do it. Just learning R. *My goal: get ranks of value across rows with row names and column names intact.* I'm guessing one of the [?]apply functions will do what I need, but I couldn't sort out which one (after a lot

Hello, What is the best way to turn a matrix into a list removing NaN's? I'm new to R... Start: > mt = matrix(c(1,4,NaN,5,3,6),2,3) > mt [,1] [,2] [,3] [1,] 1 NaN 3 [2,] 4 5 6 Desired result: > lst [[1]] [1] 1 3 [[2]] [1] 4 5 6 Thanks! Ben [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Hello, There has to be a more R'ish way to do this. I have two matrices, one has the values I want, but I want to NA some of them. The other matrix has binary values that tell me if I want to NA the values in the other matrix. I produce a third matrix based on this. I've also tried apply() passing in c(1,2) for rows and columns with no success yet. Example (this works, but I'm

Hello, I'm attempting to return the date (in form '%Y-%m-%d') of the Monday previous to the current date. For example: since it is 2011-09-02 today, I would expect 2011-08-29 to be the return value. I found the following in: http://www.mail-archive.com/r-help@r-project.org/msg144184.html Start quote from link: prevmonday <- function(x) 7 * floor(as.numeric(x-1+4) / 7) +

Hi all, I need to replace missing values in a matrix by 10 % of the lowest available value in the matrix. I've got a function I've used earlier to replace negative values by the lowest value, in a data frame, but I'm not sure how to modify it... nonNeg = as.data.frame(apply(orig.df, 2, function(col) # Change negative values to a small value, close to zero { min.val =

Hello, Does anyone know how to change the Tinn-R editor background color? White is rough on the eyes... Thanks, Ben [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Can someone show me how to modify one (R.oo) class's object inside another (R.oo) class's method? Is that possible with the R.oo package? A quick example or reference to an example would be outstanding... Thanks, Ben [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Hello, Does anyone know how to convert this: > msg [1] "a" [2] "b" [3] "c" To: > msg "a b c" In other words, I need to convert a character vector to a single string with carriage returns for each row. Functionally, I'm attempting to send an email of a character vector in a way that is readable in the email body. I can only input one

Hello, I have a bunch of data files all with "dbs" file extensions. They are generated via a SQL query from another program and source. Does anyone know (or have ideas) how to get the data from a dbs file type into R (or into some other format that can imported to R)? I've searched online for 4 hours now... Thanks!

Hello, I'm trying to get the count of values in each row that are above and below quantile thresholds. Thanks! Example: > x = matrix(1:30,5,6) > x [,1] [,2] [,3] [,4] [,5] [,6] [1,] 1 6 11 16 21 26 [2,] 2 7 12 17 22 27 [3,] 3 8 13 18 23 28 [4,] 4 9 14 19 24 29 [5,] 5 10 15 20 25 30 > qtl = t(apply(x, 1,

Hello, I'd like to 'do work' on data members upon construction (i.e. without implementing it in a get method). Is this the best way to create data member 'z' upon construction? I'm thinking if .z=paste(x,y) below gets more complex I'll run into issues. setConstructorS3("MyClass", function(x=NA,y=NA,...) { this <- extend(Object(), "MyClass",

Hello, Using the R.oo package, how do I throw an error if a field is not present when the user of the class creates the object? Using the example in the R.oo package: setConstructorS3("Person", function(name, age) { if (missing(name)) name <- NA; if (missing(age)) age <- NA; extend(Object(), "Person", .name=name, .age=age ) }) [rest of class methods

Hello, I've posted something similar under a different subject and never received a solution. Trying again with (hopefully) a better description. Objective: Send a matrix of string data in an email message. The message must have authentication and be sent via an R script. I'm almost there! Here is where I am at: I collect long error message lines in 'errs', which is a matrix.

Hello, I'm pretty new to R. Basically, how do I speed up the for loop below. Or better yet, get rid of the for loop all together. objective: plot two data sets column against column by index. These data sets have alot NA's. Some columns are all NA's. I need the plots to overlay. I don't like the plots in matplot(). Needs to be much faster than the code below... #simple sample

If someone is able, can you tell me if there is a better way to do this? More specifically, do I have to rewrite all of the data members stuff and extend stuff of parent class in the child class? See below. Thanks in advance! Example 1: setConstructorS3("ClassA", function(A,x) { if(missing(A))A=15; if(missing(x))x=NA; extend(Object(), "ClassA", .size = A, .x=x

Hi, I'm using Icecast on a windows pc as a "gobetween" to output from a streaming encoder, bounce it of an icecast server locally on the workstation and then being picked up from the local icecast server and relayed on again. (I'm using liveCaster from www.live.com as it allows me to send the audio stream as UDP which is more efficient than HTTP streaming - unfortunately it does

Hello, Using the RpgSQL package, there must be a way to get the row names into the table automatically. In the example below, I'm trying to get rid of the cbind line, yet have the row names of the data frame populate a column. > bentest = matrix(1:4,2,2) > dimnames(bentest) = list(c('ra','rb'),c('ca','cb')) > bentest ca cb ra 1 3 rb 2 4 >

I am using a similar dataset to the following: a= c("Fruits", "Adam","errorA", "steve", "errorS", "apples", 17.1,2.22, 3.2,1.1, "oranges", 3.1,2.55, 18.1,3.2 ) a_table=data.matrix(t(matrix(a,nrow=5))) I would like to highlight the smallest value in the Adam and Steve columns and, also plus and minus the errors

> How can I configure the Icecast server to use as minimum buffering as > possible so I can reduce the latency that the http streaming on the local > box introduces? as far as I know, icecast and liveice have the smallest influence on the delay in that chain. The biggest delay is produced by the client player's buffer. Have your checked this out? Why do you need such a low latency?

Hello, I can get the median for each factor, but I'd like another column to go with each factor. The nm column is a long name for the lvls column. So unique work except for the order can get messed up. Example: x =
