similar to: Correct use of ddply with own function

Dear all, This is what I'd like to do (I have an implementation using for loops, which I designed before I realised just how slow R is at executing them - this process currently takes days to run). I have a large dataframe containing corporate bond data, columns are: BondID Date (goes back 5years) Var1 Var2 Term2Maturity What I want to do is this: 1) For each bond, at each given date,

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,

Hello, I have the following data.frame structure(list(Study = structure(c(1L, 2L, 3L, 4L, 5L, 6L, 7L, 8L, 9L, 10L, 11L, 12L, 13L, 14L, 15L, 16L, 17L, 18L, 19L, 1L, 2L, 3L, 4L, 5L, 6L, 7L, 8L, 9L, 10L, 11L, 12L, 13L, 14L, 15L, 16L, 17L, 18L, 19L, 1L, 2L, 3L, 4L, 5L, 6L, 7L, 8L, 9L, 10L, 11L, 12L, 13L, 14L, 15L, 16L, 17L, 18L, 19L, 1L, 2L, 3L, 4L, 5L, 6L, 7L, 8L, 9L, 10L, 11L, 12L, 13L, 14L,

Dear R-Helpers: I am using trying to use *ddply* to extract min and max of a particular column in a data.frame. I am using two different forms of the function: ## var_name_to_split is a string -- something like "var1" which is the name of a column in data.frame ddply( df, .(as.name(var_name_to_split)), function(x) c(min(x[ , 3] , max(x[ , 3]))) ## fails with an error - case 1 ddply(

Hi, I used to use reshape and moved to reshape2 (R 2.15.1). Now I tried some of my older scripts and was surprised that my cast function wasn't working like before. What I did/want to do: 1) Melt a dataframe based on a vector specifying column names as measure.vars. Thats working so far: dfm <- melt(df, measure.vars=n, variable_name = "species", na.rm = FALSE) 2) Recast the

Hi, # For publications, I am not allowed to repeat the axes. I have tried to remove the axes using: # yaxt="n", but it did not work. I have not understood how to do this in ggplot2. Can you help me? # I also do not want loads of space between the graphs (see below script with Dummy Data). # If I could make it look like the examples on the (nice) examples page: #

Dear List, I have Multi-level Data i= Indivitual Level g= Group Level var1= First Variable of interest var2= Second Variable of interest and I want to count the frequency of "var1" and "var2" on the group level. I found a way, but there must be a much simpler way. data.ml <- data.frame(i=c(1:8),g=as.factor(c(1,1,1,2,2,3,3,3)),var1=c(3,3,3,4,4,4,4 ,4),

Hello! I wrote a code that works, but it looks ugly to me - it's full of loops. I am sure there is a much more elegant and shorter way to do it. Thanks a lot for any hints! Dimitri # I have a data frame: x<-data.frame(group=c("group1","group2","group1","group2"), myweight=c(0.4,0.6,0.4,0.6),

Hi, I am using R 1.9.1 on on i686 PC with SuSE Linux 9.0. I have a data.frame, e.g.: > myData <- data.frame( var1 = c( 1:4 ), var2 = c (5:8 ) ) If I add a new column by > myData$var3 <- myData[ , "var1" ] + myData[ , "var2" ] everything is fine, but if I omit the commas: > myData$var4 <- myData[ "var1" ] + myData[ "var2" ] the name

Hi all, I have been trying to solve this problem and have had no luck so far. I have numeric vectors VAR1, VAR2, and VAR3 which I am trying to cbind. I also have a character vector "VAR1,VAR2,VAR3". How do I manipulate this character vector such that I can input a transformed version of the character vector into cbind and have it recognize that I'm trying to refer to my numeric

Buenas noches Javier y José, Estoy en contra de usar attach(), asi que propongo la siguiente alternativa con with(): # paquete require(epicalc) # los argumentos en ... pasan de epicalc:::cc # ver ?cc para mas informacion foo <- function(var1, var2, var3, ...){ or1 <- cc(var1, var2, ...) or2 <- cc(var1, var3, ...) list(or1 = or1, or2 = or2) } # datos x <-

I would like to know how to turn a variable into a string. I have tried as.symbol and as.name but it doesnt work for what I'd like to do Essentially, I'd like to feed the function below with two variables. This works fine in the bit working out number of elements in each variable. In the print(sprintf("OK with %s and %s\n", var1, var2)) line I would like var1 and var2 to be

I am new to R and new to time series modeling. I have a set of variables (var1, var2, var3, var4, var5) for which I have historical yearly data. I am trying to use this data to produce a prediction of var1, 3 years into the future. I have a few basic questions: 1) I am able to read in my data, and convert it to a time series format using 'ts.' data_ts <- ts(data, start = 1988, end =

HI R help, I was trying to get identical data frame from a list using two methods. #Suppose my list is: listdat1<-list(rnorm(10,20),rep(LETTERS[1:2],5),rep(1:5,2)) #Creating dataframe using cbind dat1<-data.frame(do.call("cbind",listdat1)) colnames(dat1)<-c("Var1","Var2","Var3") #Second dataframe conversion

Can someone please give me a clue how to 're'write this so I dont need to use loops. a<-ts(matrix(c(1,1,1,10,10,10,20,20,20),nrow=3),names=c('var1','var2','var3')) b<-ts(matrix(c(2,2,2,11,11,11,21,21,21),nrow=3),names=c('var1','var2','var3'))

Dear Colleagues, Apologies for a long email to ask what I feel may be a very simple question; I figure it's better to overspecify my situation. I was asked a question, recently, by a colleague in my department about pre-aggregating variables, i.e., computing the mean of defined subsets of a data frame. Naturally, I thought of the 'by' and 'tapply' functions, as

Hello everyone, I am looking at the joint spatial distribution of 2 kinds of organisms (estimated on a grid of points) and want to test for significant association or dissociation. My first question is: do you know a nice technique to do that, considering that I have a limited number of points (36) but that they are repeated (4 times)? I did GLMs to test for correlations between the

Dear List, I'm getting the error: object of type 'closure' is not subsettable And am not sure how to get around the problem. I've included two short code sets below. One that shows what I want to do and works, but without using the function much, and another that tries to use the function but causes the error. # THIS WORKS AND SHOWS WHAT I'D LIKE TO DO a <- c(1,2,3) b
