Dear R users, A co-worker and I are writing a function to facilitate graph plotting in R. The function makes use of a lot of lists in its defaults. However, we discovered that R does not necessarily preserve the defaults if we were to input them in the form of list() when initializing the function. For example, if you feed the function codes below into R: myfunction=function( list1=list

R-helpers: Say I have two lists of arbitrary elements, e.g.: list1=list(c(1:3),"R is fun!",c(3:6)) list2=list(c(10:5),c(5:3),c(13,5),"I am so confused") I would like to produce a single new list that is composed of all combinations of the "top level" of list1 and list2, e.g.: listcombo=list(list(list1[[1]],list2[[1]]),list(list1[[1]],list2[[2]]

I have the following code: list1 <- list() for (i in list.files(pattern="filename1")){ x <- read.table(i) list1[[i]] <- x } list2 <- list() for (i in list.files(pattern="filename2*")){ x <- read.table(i) list2[[i]] <- x } anslist <- vector('list', length(list1)) for(i in 1:length(list1)) if (list1[[i]] & list2[[i]] >1)

Hi, This has bugged me for a bit. First question is how to keep classes with rbind, and second question is how to properly return vecotrs instead of lists after turning an rbind of lists into a data.frame list1=list(a=2, b=as.Date("20090102", format="%Y%m%d")) list2=list(a=2, b=as.Date("20090102", format="%Y%m%d")) rbind(list1, list2) #this loses the

Hi guys, I still did not solve my problem properly! I have to compare the values of two lists of 250 numbers as a result of using the ?by function! List1 of 250  $ 0   : num [1:28] 22 11 31...  $ 1   : num [1:15] 12 14 9 ... .. .. ..  - attr(*, "dim")= int 250  - attr(*, "dimnames")=List of 1 List2 of 250  $ 0   : num [1:24] 20 12 22...  $ 1   : num [1:17] 11 12 19 ... .. ..

I cannot understand why the following expression is accepted (and gives the expected result: to set column 3 and 4 of the first element of list1 -a data.frame list- as first element of list2): > list2[[1]]<-list1[[1]][3:4] ...while this one is not (to do the same iteratively from the first to the eleventh element of list1): > for (i in 1:11){list2[[i]]<-list1[[i]][3:4]} Error in

Hi, I am wondering whether we can apply 'cbind/rbind' on many **equivalent** list objects. For example please consider following: > list1 <- list2 <- vector("list", length=2); names(list1) <- names(list2) <- c("a", "b") > list1[[1]] <- matrix(1:25, 5) > list1[[2]] <- matrix(2:26, 5) > list2[[1]] <- 10:14 > list2[[2]] <-

Hello, am I using 'setIs' in the correct way in the subsequent (artifical) example? Do I have to specify explicit 'setAs' for 'list' and 'vector' or should this work automatically, since "getClass("List1")" states an explicit coerce also for these classes. I'm working with R 2.0.0 Patched (2004-10-06) on windows 2000. Thanks for your

I'm hoping to get some "best practice" feedback for constructing a function call which takes an undefined set of DIFFERENT length vectors -- e.g. say we have two lists: list1=c(1:10) list2=c(2:4) lists = data.frame(list1,list2) coerces those two to be the same length (recycling list2 to fill in the missing rows) -- what is a quick way of having each of those lists retain their

Hi, I have 2 questions on list object:   1. Suppose I have a matrix like: dat <- matrix(1:9,3)   Now I want to replicate this entire matrix 3 times and put entire result in a list object. Means, if "res" is the resulting list then I should have:   res[[1]]=dat, res[[2]]=dat, res[[3]]=dat   How can I do that in the easilest manner?   2. Suppose I have 2 list objects: list1 <- list2

Hi, I have two lists 1) List1- 30,000 rows and 104 columns 2) List2- a list of 14000 selected rownames  from List 1 Now, I want to extract all the 104 columns of List1  matching with the 14000 selected rownames from List2.  Psedocode will be something like this: match rownames(List2) with rownames(List1) extract selected matched 104 coloumns from (List1) strore in-> List3 So the

Hi R users I was wondering on how to use lapply & co when the applied function has a conditional statement and the output is a 'growing' object. See example below: list1 <- list('A','B','C') list2 <- c() myfun <- function(x,list2) { one_elem <- x cat('one_elem= ', one_elem, '\n') random <- sample(1:2,1) show(random)

I know it's easy to write a simple loop to do this, but in the spirit of lapply, I thought I would ask if there is a builtin to filter or take a subset of a list based on a predicate in a similar way to the Erlang lists:filter/2 function: http://www.erlang.org/doc/man/lists.html#filter-2 filter(Pred, List1) -> List2 Types: Pred = fun(Elem) -> bool() Elem = term() List1 = List2 =

Greetings R experts, I'm having some difficulty recovering lda objects that I've saved within sublists using the save.image() function. I am running a script that exports a variety of different information as a list, included within that list is an lda object. I then take that list and create a list of that with all the different replications I've run. Unfortunately I've been

I am experimenting with some of the common r functions. I had a question re:using "gsub" (or some similar functions) on the contents of a list. I want to design a function that looks at "everything" contained din a list, and anytime it finds the text string "pattern" replace it with "x". I also wish to preserve the "structure" of the original

Hi! I have 2 list objects One list contains the data (list1) the second list2 contains the e.g linear model for each element of list 1. list2 <- lapply(list1,mylm,response) I obtain list 2 by something like this. now I have a function myfunc which takes an element from list1 and the coresponding element from list2 does something and .... list3[[x]] <- myfunc(list1[[x]],list2[[x]]) Until

Hi All How can you associate names with a list when names have not been assigned? For example if you have a list like this: list2<-list(1,2,3) list2 [[1]] [1] 1 [[2]] [1] 2 [[3]] [1] 3 How do you make it look like this with names? : f1<-1 f2<-2 f3<-3 list1<-list(name1=f1, name2=f2, name3=f3) list1 $name1 [1] 1 $name2 [1] 2 $name3 [1] 3 Thanks for any help. I expect

Hi - I have a data frame with a large number of observations (62,000 rows, but only 2 columns - a character ID and a result list). Sample: > my.df <- data.frame(id=c("ID1", "ID2", "ID3"), result=1:3) > my.df id result 1 ID1 1 2 ID2 2 3 ID3 3 I have a list of ID vectors. This list will have anywhere from 100 to 1000 members, and

Hi, Algorithm question: I have two sets of "intervals", where an interval is an ordered pair [a,b] of two numbers. Is there an efficient way in R to generate the intersection of two lists of same? For concreteness: I'm representing a set of intervals with a data.frame: > list1 = as.data.frame(list(open=c(1,5), close=c(2,10))) > list1 open close 1 1 2 2 5
