Is there any rational explanation for the bizarre seq() behavior below? > seq(2,8.1, lenght.out=3) [1] 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 > help(seq) > seq(2,8,length.out=3) [1] 2 5 8 > seq(2,8.1,length.out=3) [1] 2.00 5.05 8.10 Except maybe that it is early in the morning :) Best regards, Ryszard Ryszard Czerminski AstraZeneca Pharmaceuticals LP 35 Gatehouse Drive Waltham, MA 02451 USA 781-839-4304

I getting "Error in matrix(0, n, n) : too many elements specified" while building randomForest model, which looks like memory allocation error. Software versions are: randomForest 4.5-25, R version 2.7.1 Dataset is big (~90K rows, ~200 columns), but this is on a big machine ( ~120G RAM) and I call randomForest like this: randomForest(x,y) i.e. in supervised mode and not requesting

Is there an easy way to control smoothness of the contour lines? In the plot I am working on due to the undersampling the contour lines I am getting are jugged, but it is clear "by eye" these should be basically straight lines. In maps package I found smooth.map function, but maybe there is a more generic way of accomplishing the same thing. Ideally there would be an option to control

I just started using nice package "sets" and I wonder if there are utilities to convert (some) sets to data frame (as in the example below) > library(sets) > a <- gset(elements = list(e('A', 0.1), e('B', 0.8))) > lst <- as.list(a) > nr <- length(lst) > rnames <- character() > for (i in 1:nr) rnames[i] <- lst[[i]] > df <-

I don't know the details of pls (in the pls.pcr package, I assume), but if you use validation="CV", that says you want to use CV to select the best number of components. Then why would you specify ncomp as well? Andy > From: ryszard.czerminski at pharma.novartis.com > > When I try to use ncomp parameter in pls procedure I get > following error: > > >

R-helpers! na.omit() can be used to remove rows with NA's but how can I remove columns ? and remember, which columns have been removed ? I guess I can do t(na.omit(t(o))) as shown below, but this probably creates a lot of overhead and I do not know which columns have been removed.

Hi, It is most probably just my R-ignorance, but I have following problem with using predict(). I train the model using 164 cases and then I try to use it on the data set with 35 cases, but I am getting 164 predictions ? R-code below illustrates in more detail what I am doing. Truly yours, R train = read.csv("train.csv", header = TRUE, row.names = "mol",

Hi all, Can anyone explain why the following use of the subset() function produces a different outcome than the use of the "[" extractor? The subset() function as used in density(subset(mydf, ht >= 150.0 & wt <= 150.0, select = c(age))) appears to me from documentation to be equivalent to density(mydf[mydf$ht >= 150.0 & mydf$wt <= 150.0, "age"])

I have a data frame (df) with colums x, y and z. e.g. df <- data.frame(x = sample(4), y = sample(4), z = sample(4)) I can extract column z by: df$z or df[3] I can also extract columns x,y by: df[1:2] or by df[-3]. Is it possible to extract x,y columns in a "symbolic" fashion i.e. by equivalent of df[-z] (which is illegal) ??? Or alternativeley, is there an equivalent of

How can I remove columns with NaN entries ? Here is my simple example: > data <- read.csv("test.csv") > xdata <- data[3:length(data)] > xs <- lapply(xdata, function(x){(x - mean(x))/sqrt(var(x))}) > x <- data.frame(xs) > x C D E F 1 -0.7071068 NaN -0.7071068 -0.7071068 2 0.7071068 NaN 0.7071068 0.7071068

I am trying to produce rather mundane output of the form e.g. pi, e = 3.14 2.718 The closest result I achieved so far with print() is: > print (c(pi, exp(1)), digits = 3) [1] 3.14 2.72 > print(c("pi, e =", pi, exp(1)), digits = 3) [1] "pi, e =" "3.14159265358979" "2.71828182845905" I understand that c() promotes floats to strings and

Consider this: > y <- matrix(1:8, ncol=2) > is.matrix(y[-c(1,2),]) [1] TRUE > is.matrix(y[-c(1,2,3),]) [1] FALSE > is.matrix(y[-c(1,2,3,4),]) [1] TRUE It seems like an inconsistent behaviour: - with 2 or more rows we have a matrix - with 1 row we do not have a matrix and - with 0 rows we have a matrix again I just stumbled on this behaviour, because I had a problem with my

I want to start R processes on multiple processors from single shell script and I want all of them to have different random seeds. One way of doing this is sleep 2 # (with 'sleep 1' I am often getting the same number) ... set.seed(unclass(Sys.time())) Is there a simpler way without a need to sleep between invoking different R processes ?
