Hello! I am optimizing my code in R and for this I need to know a bit more about the internals. It would help tremendously if someone could link me to a page with O()-complexities of all the operations. In this particular case, I need something like a linked list with O(1) insertLast/First ability. I can't preallocate a vector since I do not know the final size of the list ahead of time. The

It seems obvious to me that the empty string "" is length 0. cheers Worik [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Dear all, I would like to ask you if there is a way to define a global variable in R? I am having a bunch of function and I think the easier would be to have a global function defined at some point... Would that be possible? Regards Alex [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Hi, Wondering if anyone could help me out with this error.Im trying to fill a matrix with random numbers taken from an exponential distribution using a loop: x.3<-matrix(rep(0,3000),nrow=1000,byrow=T)for(i in 1:1000){x[i,]<-rexp(3,rate=2/3)} I get the error message: Error in x[i, ] <- rexp(3, rate = 2/3) : incorrect number of subscripts on matrix Any ideas??? Appreciate any thoughts.

I noticed that the argument names after the dots argument are not partially matched. foo <- function(one, two, ...){ one + two } > foo(o=1, t=2) [1] 3 foo <- function(one, ..., two){ one + two } > foo(o=1, t=2) Fehler in one + two : 'two' fehlt Can someone explain me the reason for this behavior?

Dear list; How can I speed up the run of following code (illustrative) #======================================================================== con<-vector("numeric") for (i in 1:limit) { if(matched data for the ith item found) { if(i==1) {con<-RowOfMatchedData } else {con<-rbind(con,matchedData)} } }

Hello, I want to do fisher test for the rows in data file which has value less than 5 otherwise chi square test .The p values from both test should be stored in one resulted file. but there is some problem with bold if statement. I don't know how implement this line properly. x = cbind(obs1,obs2,exp1,exp2) a = matrix(c(0,0,0,0), ncol=2, byrow =TRUE) #matrix with initialized values

Hi there, I hope to modify values in a vector or matrix in the following code: for (i in 1:9) { assign(paste("a.", i, sep = ""), 1:i) get(paste("a.", i, sep = ""))[i] <- i+50 } I get the following error message: Error in get(paste("a.", i, sep = ""))[i] <- i + 50 : target of assignment expands to non-language object

After a lot of processing I get a matrix into M. I expected each row and column to be a vector. But it is a list. R-Inferno says... "Arrays (including matrices) can be subscripted with a matrix of positive numbers. The subscripting matrix has as many columns as there are dimensions in the array—so two columns for a matrix. The result is a vector (not an array) containing the selected

Hello, I am trying to understand why the FUNCTION used in several codes, won't create the object after it finishes running the code. For instance, look at the following: Number<- function(x) {MyNumberIs<-x} When I run Number(5) Everything goes well, except that if I try to call the object MyNumberIs, I won't find it. I understand that this function can assume many parameters,

I think the rule is that you can do anything as long as you don't complain.

Hi, What is quickest way to learn R? I am unnecessarily having fear of learning R. rgds Parag Kulkarni Haridwar,India -- View this message in context: http://r.789695.n4.nabble.com/R-learning-tp4631814.html Sent from the R help mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

I've just realized that it could be handy to have a 'decreasing' argument in 'is.unsorted'. And I'm cheekily hoping someone else will implement it. It is easy enough to work around (with 'rev'), but would be less hassle with an argument. The case I have in mind uses 'is.unsorted' in 'stopifnot'. Pat -- Patrick Burns pburns at pburns.seanet.com

Hi, I'm trying to set up R to run a simulation of two populations in which every 3.5 days, the initial value of one of the populations is reset to 1.5. I'm simulation an experiment we did in which we fed Daphnia populations twice a week with algae, so I want the initial value of the algal population to reset to 1.5 twice a week to simulate that feeding. I've use for loops and if/else

Hi, I have limited experience on R and recently started using REXcel. Although I have been able to run both simple functions (like mean etc) and some complex ones (like Principal Component analysis, PCA) using RExcel, I am facing some problems while running EGARCH model. For this I have downloaded the 'betategarch' package for R to run EGARCH with student t dist. Although the package has
