similar to: Length of string?

I am trying to upgrade to R 2.14 from R 2.13.1 I have compied all the libraries from the 'library' directory in my existing installation (2.13.1) to the installed R 2.14. Now I want to uninstall the old installation (R 2.13.1) and I get the error: Internal Error: Cannot find utCompiledCode record for this version of the uninstaller. Any ideas?

Can someone enlighten me on why the following doesn't work? setwd('C:/Temp/R') d <- rep(1:53,2) (s <- ts(d, frequency=53, start=c(2000,10))) n <- length(s) k <- n%/%3 for(i in (n-k):n) { st <- c(start(s)[1] + (start(s)[2] + i)%/%frequency(s), (start(s)[2] + i) %% frequency(s)) ed <- c(start(s)[1] +

I noticed that when I fit a linear model using 'lm' there is an attribute called "factors" that is added to the "term". It doesn't seem to appear for 'model.matrix', just 'lm'. I have been unable to find where it gets constructed or what it means? It looks like a two dimensional array that I may be able to use so I would just like to get some

I can get multiple plots on a page like: op <- par(mfcol = c(3, 1)) What I was wondering is if there is a way to have a title for the whole page? I can specify the title for each individual plot like: plot(xxx, main=".") But I would like a 'title' for the group of plots. Is this possible? Thank you. Kevin [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

I noticed that the text() command adds text to a plot. Is there a way to either make the plot blank or add text to a "blank sheet". I would like to "plot" a page that contains just text, no plot lines, labels, etc. Suggestions? Kevin [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

I can get an array of strings for the data that I want using 'paste()' as follows: paste('ma', 1:am$arma[2], '=', coef(am)[1:am$arma[2] + am$arma[1]], sep='') This results in a vector of strings like: [1] "ma1=1.17760133668255" "ma2=0.649795570407939" "ma3=0.329456750858276" What I would like is fixed.pars <-

What is wrong with the following? x <- 1:2 if(x[1] > 0) { if(x[2] > 0) { print("1 & 2 > 0") } else { print("1 > 0") } } else { if(x[2] > 0) {

I have two time series a <- ts(1:10, start=c(1,6), end=c(2,5), frequency=10) b <- ts(1:5, start=c(2,1), end=c(2,5), frequency=10) Obviously 'b' is a subset of 'a'. I want a single index value indicating where that start of 'b' lines up with the start of 'a'. So in this simple example I would expect an index of 5. I was playing with 'merge'.

In browsing the source I see the following construct: res <- switch(type, working = , response = r, deviance = , pearson = if (is.null(object$weights)) r else r * sqrt(object$weights), partial = r) I understand that 'switch' will execute the code that is matched by its corresponding string value (in this case 'type'). What I don't

Hi all, Can somebody explain why length("") returns 1 and not 0? How do I test if a given string is the empty string? Thanks, Steffen. [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

I have some data where the frequency is heavily weighted on the lower end. So I have lots of low values with very few higher values. I would like to find breakpoints that cover the data with as much detail as possible. I find that if I use hist() to automatically find the breaks for me it finds breaks that are too coarse for the low values. I have tried the other algorithms (like 'Scott'

Hi, Suppose I have created something like this in R: foo <- "myfoo" and I want to find out the number of character in foo (in other words, R should return 5 since "myfoo" has 5 charactors. How can I do it? I tried: length(foo) but it returned 1. Cheers, Kevin ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Ko-Kang Kevin Wang

I am having a hard time understanding just what 'sweep' does. The documentation states: Return an array obtained from an input array by sweeping out a summary statistic. So what does it mean "weeping out a summary statistic"? Thank you. Kevin

I can put a legend on a plot with something like: legend('bottom', leg.txt, horiz = TRUE, fill = colors) But what if the arrays leg.txt and colors are too big? I would still like to provide a legend but to save space I would like to just show small boxes with the color filled in so it will still fit on the plot. If I could adjust the size of the boxes (at least in one dimension)

This is a very simple question but I couldn't form a site search quesry that would return a reasonable result set. Say I have a vector: x <- c(0,2,3,4,5,-1,-2) I want to replace all of the values in 'x' with the log of x. Naturally this runs into problems since some of the values are negative or zero. So how can I replace all of the positive elements of x with the log(x) and the

Has anyone come across the right combinations to print a limited number of digits? My trial and error approach is taking too much time. Here is what I have tried: > op <- options() > a <- c(1e-10,1,2,3,.5,.25) > names(a) <- c("A", "B", "C", "D", "E", "F") > # default > a A B C D

I just watched http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iSXNfZESR5I and there is a section where Hadley Wickham showed demonstrated a county map of the US that was interactive. This is exactly what I would like. I have downloaded ggplot2 but still failed to find out how to even read in and plot something like a US map let alone add the kind of interactivity that was shown in this demo. Anyone else

I was wondering what the best approach is for missing data in a time series. I give an example using xts but I would like to know what seems to be the "best" method. Say I have library(xts) xts.ts <- xts(1:4,as.Date(c("1970-01-01", "1970-1-3", "1980-10-10", "2007-8-19")), frequency=52) I would like to turn this into a time series (still

I give up. Maybe it is my search (Windows) but I cannot seem to find the definition of the F77_CALL or F77_NAME macros. Either there are too many matches or the search just doesn't find it. For example where is the source for: F77_CALL(dpotri) ? Thank you. Kevin

I would like the text plotted with 'mtext' to be alighned like it is for printing on the console. Here is what I have: > print(emt) ME RMSE MAE MPE MAPE MASE original -1.034568e+07 1.097695e+08 2.433160e+07 -31.30554 37.47713 1.5100050 xreg 1.561235e+01 2.008599e+03 9.089473e+02 267.05490 280.66734
