Given: data(AirPassengers) I get a ts data structure AirPassengers in the workspace. How can I generate the code that can create that structure? That is, given an example of a data structure, is there a way to generate the code that can greate that structure? Alternatively, is there a reference that provides a list of dta structures together with a full list of theor respective attributes?

If I create a data.frame using session variables as follows: classResults<-data.frame(subjEnglish,gradeEnglish,subjFrench,gradeFrench,row.names=studentName) How can I remove the variables? I tried > rm(names(classResults)) Error in rm(names(classResults)) :   ... must contain names or character strings Also, how can I include the row.names variable. I tried > names(classResults)

savehistory writes all the executed lines from the session. How can I write everything (executed lines and output) from the active session to a file? Using Edit | Select All then Edit Copy, I can copy everything to the clipboard and write the whole thing to a file manually. If I just used the clipboard, I can paste the whole content into another edittor (for documentation). Is there a way to

How can I conditionally get dow, dowI, and dowW from weekProfile?

This is copy & paste from my session: > xyz<-as.vector(c(ls(),as.matrix(lapply(ls(),class)))) > dim(xyz)<-c(length(xyz)/2,2) > > allobj<-function(){ + xyz<-as.vector(c(ls(),as.matrix(lapply(ls(),class)))); + dim(xyz)<-c(length(xyz)/2,2); + return(xyz) + } > xyz       [,1]              [,2]        [1,] "a"               "character"  [2,]

data(mtcars) mtcars[rownames(mtcars)!="Valiant",] # fails mtcars[list(rownames(mtcars))!="Valiant",] # runs but I am not getting the expected result With the latter statement, I expected all rows except the one where the name is "Valiant". I must have got something simple wrong; what is it? Thanks. [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

ls() gives me the vector of objects in the workspace class(objName) gives me the class of objName class(ls()) just returns character as many times as there are objects. How do I get a vector of all objects in the workspace? [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

I can write a plot to a files of a given format using this: x<-sample(c(1:100),10) bmp("c:/mygraph.bmp") plot(x) dev.off() and then show the image file in another application. This application can also display the image from the stream of numbers that define the image. How I can get the plot as a stream of numbers? [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Thank you Michael, Sarah and Robin for the answers to my original question. Michael you asked:"But this is rarely a good idea....perhaps you could say a little more about your overall goal and we could direct you to a more "R"-ish solution? " I realise eval (known as execute in one of my other languages) is not a good idea. The background to my question is as follows: Using

I expected the row names to be unique but a data frame appears to be able to hold duplicate row names. This makes me thing that there must be circumstances when it is necessary. However, I cannot think of any. Please enlighten me. [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

> a <- sqlQuery(irrdb, "select count(field) from mytable where field = 1") > print(a) count(field) 1 8 > paste(a) [1] "as.integer(8)" Why the as.integer() representation? I later pass the result into this write.html.table(), and what I get is rows of as.integer()... when all I want is the integer itself. as.integer(31) as.integer(21)

Dear all: Does anybody know about label conflicts between xtable and Hmisc? I found a couple of e-mails similar to this problem but is not clear to me how to get around the label problem. The first table(longtable below) is generated with the latex function from Hmisc but for some reason when I try to hyperlink to it,it takes me to the top of the document. The second table created with the xtable

Hello, Let's assume I have a vector of integers : > myvector <- c(1, 2, 3, 2, 1, 3, 5) My purpose is to obtain the cumulative distribution of these numerical data, i.e. something like : value nb_occur. <=1 2 <=2 4 <=3 6 <=4 6 <=5 7 For this, I create a table with ; > mytable <- table(myvector) 1 2 3 5 2 2 2 1 However, table() returns an array
