similar to: SVM. How to use categorical attributes?

Dear All, I need to estimate the level of similarity of two strings. For example: string1 <- c("depending","audience","research", "school"); string2 <- c("audience","push","drama","button","depending"); The words in string may occur in different order though. What function would you recommend to use

Hi All, I need to normalize/scale string variable which represents interests of customers (e.g., 'cycling, rollerblading, swimming' etc). Does anybody know how to do this, I want then use it along with other numeric variables for SVM classification. Appreciate for any advice. -Alex [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Re-sending, since I forgot to include the list, sorry. I'm including r-package-devel too this time, as it seems more appropriate for this list.

That might be worth thinking about generally, but it would still be nice to have the base generics pre-defined, so that people are not copy and pasting the definitions everywhere, hoping that they stay consistent.

[cross-posted to R-devel and bioc-devel] Hi, I am trying to implement a 'sort' method in one of the CRAN packages I am maintaining ('apcluster'). I started with using setMethod("sort", ...) in my package, which worked fine. Since many users of my package are from the bioinformatics field, I want to ensure that my package works smoothly with Bioconductor. The problem

It's very easy for 'pictures of code' (unevaluated code chunks in vignettes) to drift from the actual

Hi, I just figured out that I accidentally posted my message in HTML, so I am retrying in plain text only. Sorry. I am currently extending one of our CRAN packages and ran into an unexpected problem when checking the source package. I got some warnings in the step "* checking for code/documentation mismatches". I double checked everything and did not see anything that would

Hi, I am using R on Ubuntu 12.10 (64bit). This morning, Ubuntu's software updater automatically installed updates to R's base system (version 2.15.3; via the CRAN PPA). Now R does not work anymore. Here is what I get when I simply enter "R" on the shell prompt: bodenhof FUKUOKA~>R cannot find system Renviron Error : .onLoad failed in loadNamespace() for 'utils',

OK, I'm indexing my data with the scriptindex. I want to be able to restrict the search by the category field. Do I need to do anything to the data itself? Like, literally prefix it with the characters "XC"? Below is my indexor for scriptindex and the my php code... document_id : field=ref unique=Q boolean=Q search_id : field=document_id index=S document_title : field=title

I fully agree, Michael, that this would be a great thing to have! I have often wondered why R and the standard packages are still sticking so much to the old-style S3 flavor though S4 is part of standard R. I acknowledge that backward compatibility is important, but, as far as I got it, redefining a function or S3 generic as an S4 generic should not harm existing functionality (if done

Thanks a lot, I?aki, this is a perfect solution! I already implemented it and it works great. I'll wait for 2 more days before I submit the revised package to CRAN - in order to give others to comment on it.

Dear colleagues, dear members of the R Core Team, This was an issue raised by Prof. Brian Ripley and sent privately to all developers of CRAN packages that suggest Bioconductor packages (see original message below). As mentioned in my message enclosed below, it was easy for me to fix the error in examples (new version not submitted to CRAN yet), but it might turn into a major effort for the

I suspect rsync actually *cannot* be used as a change detection tool for security purposes, but I want some help with my reasoning. Imagine a backup system that uses rsync to move files from client to a trusted server. The backup system operates in "pull" mode, and the backup server uses rsync to pull files from the client. Rsync does its magic --link-dest thing, and we detect the

Hi all! I've got a machine setup to be an "RSYNC Server", i.e. running rsync in daemon mode waiting for connections from various other machines on my network. This machine is running Debian Sarge and rsync 2.6.3. For the past several days, I've been getting notices like this in my backup logs: ============================================================================ =====

Dear colleagues, This is to inform you that I will be giving a webinar on the apcluster package on Thursday, June 13, 2013, 7:00pm CEST (10:00am PDT). The outline of the one-hour webinar is as follows: - Introduction to affinity propagation (AP) clustering - The apcluster package, its algorithms, and visualization tools - Live apcluster demonstration - Question and Answer period To register

Dear colleagues, This is to inform you that Version 1.3.0 of the R package apcluster has been released on CRAN yesterday. We did a major extension and overhaul of the package. Most importantly, we added Leveraged Affinity Propagation in fulfillment of multiple users requests. It should now be much easier to cluster large data sets. Apart from this extension, the interfaces to apcluster() and

Everything is going amazing in the windows->samba conversion until I ran into a roadblock..I really dont know what may be going on so I will outline it as best as I can. We have a program called realty toolkit which saves its configuration and security settings onto the network. Well, after putting the files onto the linux box, it no loger wants to work, the security check fails. calling the
