Dear users, I have a weird questions. A friend of mine, some years ago, supposedly trying to access help files without Internet connection, got something like this error message: "The Pythia is not available, please go to Delphi" When I've heard about it, I found it very funny and I'd like to be able to get it. Does anyone of you know how to get this error message again?

I know that i can do something like this: Suppose that my data is in df variable new_df<-data.frame(c(df[,1],df[,2],df[,3],df[,4],...........) This works but i have 100 variables! Any way of doing

Given: > filename<-paste(tempdir(),"\\","myfile.txt",sep=""); > sub("\\\\","/",filename); [1] "C:/DOCUME~1\\AJAYAS~1\\LOCALS~1\\Temp\\Rtmp2f270T\\myfile.txt" Note: Only the first occurence of \\ is replaced. What is the syntax for replacing every occurence? Thanks. [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

One column ('Season')contains factor data representing seasons, e.g. spring, summer, autumn and winter. Another column (called 'Day') contains data representing wether the day is a working day (I use 'Wd' for short here)or weekend (I use

Hi, I got a small problem on how to define the vector index without manually inspect the vector. example: y=c(2,3,5,2,4,6,8,3,6,2,5) #I have ten set of this kind of vectors (with different values but same length) that I would also like to run the routine below #say; v=the first index in y where the value is larger than 4, in this case index 3, value 5 #what I would like to do is take y[1:v]

Hi! I would like to post the following question: I was trying to figure out how to do the simulation shown in Fig 10.6 of John Verzani's book 'Using R for Intro Statistics'. It is on page 290, with a description on the previous page. It seems like a simple thing... Just needing to duplicate a procedure. (Perhaps I need to do it with a loop?) This is what I was trying:

Hello everybody I have the following problem. I have to load a number of xls files from different folders (each xls file has the same number of columns, and different numbers of rows). Each xls file is named with a number, i.e. 12345.xls and is contained in a folder with same name, say 12345) Once loaded, I want to rbind all of them to obtain a single database.

Hello R Community, I don't post to these things often so excuse me if I stumble on my forum etiquette. This is a complex problem for me, which may require two forum entries, but I will try my best to be concise. Also, I am a self taught coder, so if my code is not to convention, your constructive criticism is always welcome. I need to split up a data frame by participant (gpsarc -

Hi, I have a 1-column dataframe with rownames and I want to sort it based on the single column. The typical procedure that is recommended in diverse posts is to use order in the index. But that "destroys" my dataframe structure. Probabaly it is a very simple solution. Here is a short reproducable example: x <- c(1,3,51,2,34,44,12,33,2,8) df <- data.frame(x) rownames(df) <-

Hi, I just recently changed my OS to Ubuntu 12.04 (32bit). Now I tried to install some packages required by my old and working scripts. Unfortunately I fail when trying to install the package "xslx".
