Hello, I have two date strings, say "1972-06-30" and "2012-01-31", and I'd like to get every quarter period end date between those dates? Does anyone know how to do this? Speed is important... Here is a small sample: Two dates: "2007-01-31" "2012-01-31" And I'd like to get this: [1] "2007-03-31" "2007-06-30"

Hello, What is the fastest way to do this? I has to be done quite a few times. Basically I have sets of 3 numbers (as characters) and sets of 3 dashes and I have to store them in named columns. The order of the sets and the column name they fall under is important. The actual numbers and the pattern/order of the sets should be considered random/unpredictable. Sample data: vec =

Hello, I'm using package RpgSQL. Is there a better way to create a multi-line query/character string? I'm looking for less to type and readability. This is not very readable for large queries: s <- 'create table r.BOD("id" int primary key,"name" varchar(12))' I write a lot of code, so I'm looking to type less than this, but it is more readable from

Dear useRs, I want to write a function that generates all the possible combinations of diff(). Example: If my vector has length 5, I need the diff() until lag=4 -> c(diff(my.vec), diff(my.vec, lag=2), diff(my.vec, lag=3), diff(my.vec, lag=4)) If it has length 4, I need until lag=3 -> c(diff(my.vec), diff(my.vec, lag=2), diff(my.vec, lag=3)) So, it must be until lag=(length(my.vec)-1).

The attached patch adds some sanity checks to the "type" argument of quantile(). Output from the following commands show the change of behavior with the current patch: vec <- 1:10 quantile(vec, type = c(1, 2)) quantile(vec, type = 10) quantile(vec, type = "aaa") quantile(vec, type = NA_real_) quantile(vec, type = 4.3) quantile(vec, type = -1) Current behavior

FWIW, I just ported my ray tracer benchmark to C and found that llvm-gcc gives much worse performance than gcc on x86

I have a list (length 750), each element containing a vector of unique strings (unique gene ids), with length up to ~40 (median 15). I want to compile a matrix of all possible triplets and their frequency within gene elements. Using combn and a lot of looping, I am accomplishing this but it is VERY slow. I've tried to figure out a way to vectorize this, using "match" and

Dear R-Helpers: I am a entry level user of R. Have the following question. Many thanks in advance. # value.vec stores values value.vec <- c('a','b','c') # which.vec stores the locations/indexs of values in value.vec. which.vec <- c(3, 2, 2, 1) # How can I obtain the following vector based on the value.vec and which.vec mentioned above # vector.I.want <-

Dear R-list I am having troubles understanding how the function is.numeric() works. Any help appreciated. Some commands are given here (the output and my comments are given below) vec <- c(1.4, NA, NA, NA) sapply(vec,FUN=is.numeric) is.numeric(vec[2]) is.na(vec[2]) is.numeric(NA) vec <- c(TRUE, FALSE, NA, NA) sapply(vec,FUN=is.numeric) is.numeric(vec[2]) is.numeric(vec[3])

Dear R friends: Can someone help me with the following problem? Many thanks in advance. # Problem Description: # I want to write functions which take a (character) vector of dataframe names as input argument. # For example, I want to extract the number of observations from a number of dataframes. # I tried the following: nobs.fun <- function (dframe.vec) { nobs.vec <-

What should findInterval(x,vec,all.inside=TRUE) return when length(vec)<=1, so there are no inside intervals? R-3.3.0 gives a decreasing map of x->output when length(vec)==1 and -1's when length(vec)==0. Would '0' in all those cases be better? > findInterval(x=c(10, 11, 12), vec=11, all.inside=TRUE, rightmost.closed=FALSE, left.open=FALSE) [1] 1 0 0 >

Dear list, I have a character vector such vec.names<- c("a", "b") It happens that I have also two R objects called "a" and "b" that I would like to merge. Is it possible to do something like cbind(vec.names[1], vec.names[2]) ending up with the same result as cbind(a,b) Bellow is a reproducible example of what I need to to: dat<-

This is what I tried: > num.vec <- c(12.34,56.78,90.12,34.56) > names(num.vec)<-c("first","second","third","fourth") > num.vec first second third fourth 12.34 56.78 90.12 34.56 > seq<-(1:4) > num.mat<-rbind(num.vec,seq) > num.mat first second third fourth num.vec

Hi there, I wrote a function that wraps MASS::boxcox as: bc <- function(vec) { lam <- boxcox(lm(vec ~ 1)) lam <- lam$x[which.max(lam$y)] (vec^lam - 1)/lam } When I invoke it as: > x <- runif(20) > bc(x) Error in eval(predvars, data, env) : object 'vec' not found I have googled, and rewrote the above function as: bc <- function(vec) { dat <<-

Hi all, I have got 2 function (see bellow) which are simplifications of what I need to do. These functions are precisely the same, except for the last line. My question is, why doesn't function testA work in the same way as function testB. Both functions produce two objects, "a" and "b" that must merged with rbind. The difference is that in testA, I specify the name

I am using grep to locate colnames to automate a report build and have run into a problem when a colname is not found. The use of integer(0) in a conditional statement seems to be a no no as it has length 0. Below is a self-contained trivial example. I would like to get something like "NA" or -1 for the position when it is not found OR learn a way to use integer(0) or some

Hi I wrote a function implementing an algoritm for simulation of spatial sampling plans (using geoR). I'm using a range of parameters to perform several simulation and sometimes this parameters create function errors wich cause the algoritm to stop. How can I avoid this ? Below there's a small example that I made to study the problem but I was not able to solve it. I've tried

I don't understand how this function can subset by i when i is missing.... ## My function: myfun = function(vec, i){ ret = vec[i] ret } ## My data: i = 10 vec = 1:100 ## Expected input and behavior: myfun(vec, i) ## Missing an argument, but error is not caught! ## How is subsetting even possible here??? myfun(vec) Is there a way to check for missing function arguments, *and*

Dear helpRs Does anyone have an elegant way of doing the following: For a given numeric vector, e.g. vec <- c(3,2,6,4,7) Create a series of vectors where all but 1 of the values are replaced by 0's, e.g. vec.a <- c(3,0,0,0,0) vec.b <- c(0,2,0,0,0) vec.c <- c(0,0,6,0,0) vec.d <- c(0,0,0,4,0) vec.e <- c(0,0,0,0,7) I have looked at `replace', but can't think of a
