I'm still getting used to R's scoping. I've run into the following situation value=0 thefunction <- function() print( value ) somefunction <- function() { value=99; thefunction() } somefunction() now, I understand that somefunction() returns 0 because thefunction() was defined with value=0 in its parent envrionment, it dosent look at all in the environment of somefunction. My

I was cursing Matlab again today (what else is new) because the default action for every Matlab command is to spew the result to the console, and one must remember to put that darn ";" at the end of every line. So I just wondered: was there ever a discussion as to providing some modified version of the "<-" and "->" operators in R to do the reverse?

Dear R-users, I'm trying to work out a way to set default values for arguments in a function which includes the optional argument '...'. In practice, I have a 'plot' method for a function which specifies different types of plots. Every different plot should have different default arguments (for example for 'col', 'ylim' etc), plus the argument '...' to

I need to construct all possible combinations of an vector of length N taken X at a time for simulation purposes. Taking a a small vector as an example: >input <- c('a','b','c','d') >somefunction(input) a,b,c a,b,d a,c,d b,c,d my only solution thus far is: somefunction <- function(x){ ...a series of grotesque and horribly inefficient loops

Hello, outer() is great for avoiding things like: for (val1 in val1s) { for (val2 in val2s)) { x[i,j] <- somefunction(val1, val2) } } The same can be obtained with: outer(val1s, val2s, somefunction) But what if there are three (or more) sets of values to loop over? Any way of avoiding the loops then? Thanks, -- Wolfgang Viechtbauer

Dear All: Maybe it is a too basic question, but I don't how to find the answer. Sorry for that. What I want to do is call a shell command, which will provide two numbers, and assign those numbers to a vector. For example: The following command: $mxresult.sh ABC.mx mxresult.sh is a script written by myself and ABC.mx is a Mx script. I can get two numbers, 126.128 and 29, with this command.

Hi all, I am trying to use llvm-gcc to link shared libraries on windows/mingw32. When I try to link libraries that contain functions declared with __declspec(dllexport) someFunction(); I get the link error: Cannot export _someFunction: symbol not found Removing the declspec directive solves the problem, but this is not a very feasible solution for me. Using 'regular' gcc does not

Hi all, I am going to be teaching a workshop next week using R and Bioconductor in one of our university's computer labs. They have recently installed R 2.4.1 for me, and I'm checking all my scripts. I just noticed that using the ?somefunction call to access the documentation for that function is not working. On my own PC, the ? call output changed between R 2.3 and 2.4; before it would

Hi all: This question is related to a state machine generated by LLVM for a coroutine. I stripped all coroutine related details to get to the essence of the question. Let's say I have a state machine that looks like this: struct State { FnPtr Fn; State() : Fn(&SomeFunction) {} void Go() { (*Fn)(); } void Stop() { Fn = nullptr; } bool IsDone() { return Fn ==

Hi all, Is there a way to navigate directly to the "Index" page of help for a package? Here's my connundrum: I download and install package "foo". I don't know what functions are in package "foo", so I can't invoke the help for package "foo" via > ?someFunction help(package = "foo") pops up some non-hyperlinked information page,

Hi all Is there a function that can find the start and end position of peaks in a set of numbers. eg. x=c(14,15,12,11,12,13,14,15,16,15,14,13,12,11,14,12) y=somefunction(x) y 4 14 Thanks John [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Hi R, A simple question, but don't know the answer... x="a" a=5 I need to remove the object "a" by using only x. something like rm(somefunction(x))...Is this possible?

Hi there, how can I test every element in a vector whether appears in another vector? such as a<-c("aa", "bb", "ff", "cc") b <-c("oo","jj","bb","cc") somefunction(a,b) gives [False, True, False, True] thanks yuan jian [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

I'm trying to build a very large shared library (bundle) for PPC on Mac OS X 10.5. The build looks something like this, where mybundlebitcode.o is the large object llc -relocation-model=pic -o=mybundle.s mybundlebitcode.o gcc -arch ppc -c -x assembler -o mybundle.o mybundle.s g++ -o mybundle.bundle -bundle mybundle.o -lotherlibrary I get the following error: ld: 32-bit pic-base out of

I am having trouble doing the following. I have a data.frame like this, where x and y are a variable that I want to do calculations on: Name Year x y ab 2001 15 3 ab 2001 10 2 ab 2002 12 8 ab 2003 7 10 dv 2002 10 15 dv 2002 3 2 dv 2003 1 15 Before I do all the other things I need to do with this data, I need to summarize or collapse the data by name and year. I've

Hello, For performance reasons, I would like to provide a way to skip construction/destruction of objects that are stack allocated. Typically, C-style arrays of std::complex create an initialization loops that is almost always unnecessary. I am thinking of providing an __attribute__((uninitialized)) that can be applied to an object declaration: { std::complex<float> foo[64][64]

Quick question: Which function do you use to calculate partial derivatives from a model equation? I've looked at deriv(), but think it gives derivatives, not partial derivatives. Of course my equation isn't this simple, but as an example, I'm looking for something that let's you control whether it's a partial or not, such as: somefunction(y~a+bx, with respect to x,

Hi all, I'm having some difficulty passing arguments into lm() from within a function, and I was hoping someone wiser in the ways of R could tell me what I'm doing wrong. I have the following: lmwrap <- function(...) { wts <- somefunction() print(wts) # This works, wts has the values I expect fit <- lm(weights=wts,...) return(fit) } If I call my function lmwrap, I get

R-help, I was wondering how to remove indexing from an output, e.g., > aVector<-1:10 > aVector [1] 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 > someFunction(aVector) 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 Thanks in advance [[alternative HTML version deleted]]
