Hello, My problem is that I would like to merge multiple files with a common column but merge accepts only two data.frames to merge. In the real situation, I have 26 different data.frames with a common column. I can of course use merge many times (see below) but what would be more sophisticated solution? For loop? Any ideas? DF1 <- data.frame(var1 = letters[1:5], a = rnorm(5)) DF2 <-

Hello ... Are there any known problems or even gotchas to look out for when using a gzfile connection in read.csv/read.table in Windows? In the package PROcess, available at www.bioconductor.org/repository/devel/package/html/PROcess.html there are two files in the PROcess/inst/Test directory which are of the extension *.csv.gz. With both files, if I open up a gzfile connection, say: vv <-

Hello, I have a nested named list structure, like the following: x <- list( list( list(df1,df2) list(df3, list(df4,df5)) list(df6,df7))) with df1...d7 as data frames. Every data frame is named. Is there a way to get a specific named element in x? so, for example, x[[c("df5")]] gives me the data frame 5? Thank you in advance! Best, Friedericksen

I have a dataset like this (dput for this below) which represents user computer sessions: username machine start end 1 user1 D5599.domain.com 2011-01-03 09:44:18 2011-01-03 09:47:27 2 user1 D5599.domain.com 2011-01-03 09:46:29 2011-01-03 10:09:16 3 user1 D5599.domain.com 2011-01-03 14:07:36 2011-01-03 14:56:17 4 user1 D5599.domain.com

Dear All Sorry for this simple question, I could not solve it by spending days. My data looks like this: # data set.seed(1234) clvar <- c( rep(1, 10), rep(2, 10), rep(3, 10), rep(4, 10)) # I have 100 level for this factor var; yvar <- rnorm(40, 10,6); var1 <- rnorm(40, 10,4); var2 <- rnorm(40, 10,4); var3 <- rnorm(40, 5, 2); var4 <- rnorm(40, 10, 3); var5 <- rnorm(40, 15,

Hallo Everyone I have the kind of problem that one should never have because one must always plan well and communicate with your team. But now I haven't so here is my problem. I have data coming in on a daily basis from surveys in 10 towns. The questionnaire has 62 variables but some of the regions have used older versions of the questionnaire that have a few variables less. I want to combine

# Hello, # I have a list with 6 categories and with different numbers of rows. # I would like to change each of them into a unique data frame in order to match # values with other data frames and perform some calculations. # Or I could make each category or list element have the same number of rows and create one large data.frame. # below is a creation of a sample list # I apologize for the

Hello, I have two dataframes DF1 and DF2 that should be identical but are not (DF1 has some rows that aren't in DF2, and vice versa). I would like to produce a new dataframe DF3 containing rows in DF1 that aren't in DF2 (and similarly DF4 would contain rows in DF2 that aren't in DF1). I have a solution for this problem (see self contained example below) but it's awkward and

Hi all, I am not a skillful R programmer and has I am handling with large dataframes (about 30000 x 300) I am in need of an efficient function. I have 4 dataframes with the same dimension. I need to generate other dataframe with the some dimension than the others where in each position it has the median value of the 4 values in the same position coming from the 4 dataframes. Grateful by your

Hi all, probably really simple to solve, but having no background in programming I haven't been able to figure this out: I have two dataframes like df1 <- data.frame(names1=c('aa','ab', 'ac', 'ad'), var1=c(1,5,7,12)) df2 <- data.frame(names2=c('aa', 'ab', 'ac', 'ad', 'ae'), var2=c(3,6,9,12,15)) Now I want merge

Dear R users, I have a very basic query, but was unable to find a proper anwser. I have the following data.frame x y 2 0.12 3 0.25 4 0.11 6 0.16 7 0.20 and, due to further calculations, I need the data to be stored as x y 1 0 2 0.12 3 0.25 4 0.11 5 0 6 0.16 7 0.20 8 0 How do

I have a series of data frames that are identical structurally, i.e. - made with the same code, but I need to add them together so that they become one, longer, data frame, i.e. - each of the slot vectors are increased in length by the length of the added data frame vectors. So if I have df1 with a slot A so that length(df1$A) = 100 and I have df2 with a slot A so that length(df2$A)=200 then I

Dear all, Lets say I have several data frames as follows: > set.seed(42) > dates <- as.Date(c("2010-01-19", "2010-01-20")) > times <- c("09:30:00", "11:30:00", "13:30:00", "15:30:00") > shows <- c("Red Dwarf", "Being Human", "Doctor Who") > > df1 <- data.frame(Date = dates[1],

Hi all- I am wondering about using the mapply function to multiple data frames. Specifically, I would like to do a t-test on a subset of multiple data frames. All data frames have the same structure. Here is my code so far: f<-function(x,y) { test<-t.test(x$col1[x$col3=="num",],v$col2[x$col3=="num",],paired=T,alternative="greater") out<-test$p.value

I've been doing some consulting with students who seem to come to R from SAS. They are usually pre-occupied with do loops and it is tough to persuade them to trust R lists rather than keeping 100s of named matrices floating around. Often it happens that there is a list with lots of matrices or data frames in it and we need to "stack those together". I thought it would be a simple

Dear R People: So thanks to your help, I have the following: > dog3.df <- read.delim("c:/Users/erin/Documents/dog1.txt",header=FALSE,sep="\t") > dog3.df V1 V2 1 1/1/2000 dog 2 1/1/2000 cat 3 1/1/2000 tree 4 1/1/2000 dog 5 1/2/2000 cat 6 1/2/2000 cat 7 1/2/2000 cat 8 1/2/2000 tree 9 1/3/2000 dog 10 1/3/2000 tree 11 1/6/2000 dog 12 1/6/2000

Hello, What would be the best set of R functions to parse and transform a file? My file looks as shown below. I would like to plot this data and I need to parse it into a single data frame that sorts of "transposes the data" with the following structure: > df <- data.frame(n=c(1,1,2,2),iter=c(1,2,1,2),step=as.factor(c('Step 1', 'Step2', 'Step 1',

So I needed to merge 17 .csv files, and did so by brute force, but I might need to do so again. Anyone have suggestions for a for loop that might do the below for me (where a:r are separate .csv files) ab<-merge(a,b,all=TRUE) cd<-merge(c,d,all=TRUE) ef<-merge(e,f,all=TRUE) gh<-merge(g,h,all=TRUE) ij<-merge(i,j,all=TRUE) kl<-merge(k,l,all=TRUE) no<-merge(m,n,all=TRUE)
