Dear group, Here is the kind of data.frame I obtain every day with my function : futures <- structure(list(DESCRIPTION = c("CORN Jul/10", "CORN Jul/10", "CORN Jul/10", "CORN Jul/10", "CORN Jul/10", "LIVE CATTLE Aug/10", "LIVE CATTLE Aug/10", "SUGAR NO.11 Jul/10", "SUGAR NO.11 Jul/10", "SUGAR

Hi R-help, I am trying to find a way to select five highest values in data frame according some variable. I will demonstrate: c X1 X2 1 1 1 2 1 2 3 1 3 4 1 4 5 1 5 6 1 6 7 1 7 8 1 8 9 1 9 10 1 10 11 2 11 12 2 12 13 2 13 14 2 14 15 2 15 16 2 16 17 2 17 18 2 18 19 2 19 20 2 20 21 2 21 22 2 22 23 2 23 24 2 24 25 2 25 So I

Hi Together, I have a problem with the plyr package - more precisely with the ddply function - and would be very grateful for any help. I hope the example here is precise enough for someone to identify the problem. Basically, in this step I want to identify observations that are identical in terms of certain identifiers (ID1, ID2, ID3) and just want to save those observations (in this step,

Hi,I am using the amazing package 'plyr". I have one problem. I would appreciate help to fix the following error: Thanks. ______________________________ > library(plyr) > data(baseball) > summarise(baseball, + duration = max(year) - min(year), + nteams = length(unique(team))) Error: could not find function "summarise" > ddply(baseball, "id", summarise, +

Hi all. I would like to highlight overlapping regions of two densities and I could not find a way to do it. Here is the sample code: myd <- c(2,4,5, 4,3,2,2,3,3,3,2,3,3,4,2,4,3,3,3,2,2.5, 2, 3,3, 2.3, 3, 3, 2, 3) myd1 <- myd-2 plot(range(density(myd)$x, density(myd1)$x), range(density(myd)$y, density(myd1)$y), type = "n") lines(density(myd), col=1, lwd=4)

Is there a way for an apply-type function to return a data frame? the closest thing I think of is foo <- as.data.frame(sapply(...)) names(foo) <- c(....) is there a more "elegant" way?

Hi R users, I have following data frame df<-data.frame(q1=c(0,0,33.33,"check"),q2=c(0,33.33,"check",9.156), q3=c("check","check",25,100),q4=c(7.123,35,100,"check")) and i would like to replace every element that is less then 10 with . (dot) in order to obtain this: q1 q2 q3 q4 1 . . check . 2 . 33.33 check 35

Dear all, I just try to run the example in R brugs packages, but not only once. Loop is added in this example. After several times (7, 11, or other random number), there is an error message "r for windows gui front-end has stopped working". This happened in two laptops with windows 7 and vista. I have tried different versions of R (2.14.1 and 2.13) and Brugs packages (0.7.1 and 0.7-5).

Hi to all. I have a problem to connect to an Excel database using RODBC. Namely, I am using 64-bit R 2.14.0, under Windows 7 and I tried following: library(RODBC) > channel <- odbcConnectExcel("results.xlsx") Error in odbcConnectExcel("results.xlsx") : odbcConnectExcel is only usable with 32-bit Windows # ok this is clear why it doesn't work > channel

I am calculating the mean of each column grouped by the variable 'id'. I do this using aggregate, data.table, and plyr. My aggregate results do not match the other two, and I am trying to figure out what is incorrect with my syntax. Any suggestions? Thanks. Here is the data. myData <- structure(list(var1 = c(31.59, 32.21, 31.78, 31.34, 31.61, 31.61, 30.59, 30.84, 30.98, 30.79, 30.79,

Hi everybody. I have list like this: l<-list(data.frame(q1=c(1,2,"check"),q2=c(3,"check",5)), data.frame(q1=c("check",1),q2=c(4,5))) names(l)<-c("A","B") rownames(l[[1]])<-c("aa","bb","cc") rownames(l[[2]])<-c("aa","bb") Every object has the same number of columns but different number

Hi R users. sorry for missing example and if question is to general but I am wondering if it is possible to execute subqueries in function sqlQuery (package RODBC) with opened connection with Excel or SQL server 2000. I couldn't find any example of this. And if it is possible what should be a correct syntax for this query: SELECT ct,COUNT(*) as n FROM (SELECT COUNT(*) AS ct FROM children

Hi R users. I have a problem with function strata in sampling packages. > st0 = strata(dom, stratanames="stratas", size=sample.size, method="systematic",pik, FALSE) Error in sort.list(y) : 'x' must be atomic for 'sort.list' Have you called 'sort' on a list?

Hi R users, could someone help me to find out which formulas, for standard error calculation, are used in following example: a=data.frame(weights=rep(c(10,1),c(4,1)),fpc=rep(41,5),uk=rep(1,5)) srs<-svydesign(id=~1, weights=~weights, data=a) srs1<-svydesign(id=~1, weights=~weights,fpc=~fpc, data=a) svytotal(~uk,srs) total SE uk 41 9 svytotal(~uk,srs1) total SE uk 41

Hi all. I tried to calculate sum of deviations from the weighted mean and i didn't get what i expected - 0. Here is an example: > wt <- c(10,25,38,22,5) > x <- 6:10 > wm <- weighted.mean(x,wt) > (x-wm)*wt [1] -18.70 -21.75 4.94 24.86 10.65 > sum((x-wm)*wt) [1] -1.24345e-14 With simple mean I got 0: > sum(x-mean(x)) [1] 0 Could someone explain me why we

Hi useRs. Does anybody know if there is some function that creates speedometer chart in R? Or if anybody has proposals where to start looking and which functions I can modify in order to create this kind of chart? Thanks for any help Andrija [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

# plyr plyr is a set of tools for a common set of problems: you need to __split__ up a big data structure into homogeneous pieces, __apply__ a function to each piece and then __combine__ all the results back together.
