I'm doing: > alyL32007z <- zoo(alyL32007,alyL32007$time) > range(time(alyL32007z)) [1] "2007-01-01 00:00:00 UTC" "2007-12-31 23:30:00 UTC" But then, while the original variable is: > summary(alyL32007$NEE_st) Min. 1st Qu. Median Mean 3rd Qu. Max. NA's -15.340 -1.615 -0.054 -0.814 0.750 8.965 11124 the variable within the zoo object

By Ctr-moving the cursor over a point in an iplot() scatterplot (package iplots) it is possible to check the exact x,y coordinates of a given point. Is it possible to check a text label for that point as well? (i.e., the same info that would get printed on the graphic using text(x,y, labels=v) or with identify(x,y,labels), but I do not want to get the labels permanently plotted on the graphic)

I've found that while cutree() and rect.hclust() make the same classes for a given height in the dendrogram, the actual labeling of the classes is different. For example, both produce the same 4 classes but class 1 according to cutree() is class 4 according to rect.hclust(). Would it be possible that future versions provide the same labeling? rect.hclust() is useful to display the classes

I have the following time series: > class(CCasadesz2) [1] "zoo" > setmanes <- cut(time(CCasadesz2),breaks="weeks") > CCasadeswz <- aggregate(CCasadesz2,sum,by=setmanes) > class(CCasadeswz) [1] "zoo" > summary(CCasadeswz) Index CCasadeswz 2009-01-12 00:00:00: 1 Min. : 4.0 2009-01-19 00:00:00: 1 1st Qu.:

I'm trying to get a minimally intuitive way of plotting zoo objects extracted for given periods of time I do: > plot(alyL32007z$NEE_st,col=cod,type="b",pch=18,xlim=time(alyL32007z)[c(3000,15000)]) and get a correct plot but the expression for xlim is hard to read by humans. I try > time(alyL32007z)[c(3000,15000)] [1] "2007-03-04 11:30:00 UTC" "2007-11-09

I have a problem with duplicated date_time stamps that I do not see as duplicated. I read a file with observations taken every 30 minutes: > aur2009=read.csv(paste(datadir,"AUR_ECPP_2009.csv",sep="/"),sep=";",stringsAsFactors=F) > aur2009[1:3,1:5] Date.Time E_filled E_filled_flag LE_filled LE_filled_flag 1 1/1/2009 0:00 0 NaN 5.86

Hi! Is there any way of having a greyed ("ghosted") text (i.e, 2006) in the background of a plot? I'm making a dynamic plot and would like to show the year of each time step as a big greyed text in the background. (the idea comes from Hans Rosling video: http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=4237353244338529080&sourceid=searchfeed ) Thanks Agus -- Dr. Agustin Lobo Institut

Hi! Given a vector (or a factor within a df),i.e. v1 <- c(1,1,1,2,3,4,1,10,3) and a dictionary cbind(c(1,2,3),c(1001,1002,1003)) is there a function (on the same line than recode() in car) to get v2 as c(1001,1001,1001,1002,1003,4,1001,10,1003) ? I'm using myself a function based on match() since long ago (I think that thanks to advice by Prof. B. Ripley), but would like to know if there

Is there an specific function to eliminate blank space within strings?

Agustin, posted on R-help. I think the problem is one of the debian/ubuntu package 'r-cran-robustbase' and its setup or (missing?) dependencies. I can confirm Agustin's problem, working on Ubuntu 8.04.2 (8.04 is a "LTS" = long time support version). apt-get install r-cran-robustbase works fine, but when trying to load the package, there's a DLL - dependency on

Hi! Is it possible to set a file to which both commands and output would get automatically saved? I've tried with sink(), but only get the output. I mean something like a combined history and sink, as you get with File/Save to File.. in the windows GUI. Tis is done with diary filename in Matlab, and you can state diary on and diary off to control what is being saved to the file. Thanks Agus

Which is the proper way to rename a factor? If I do: test$Parc[test$Parc=="Ol?rdola"]<-"Ol?rdola" R complains that Warning message: invalid factor level, NAs generated in: `[<-.factor`(`*tmp*`, test$Parc == "Ol?rdola", value = "Ol?rdola") Thanks Agus -- Dr. Agustin Lobo Institut de Ciencies de la Terra "Jaume Almera" (CSIC) LLuis Sole

I've set layout(matrix(c(1,3,2,4),ncol=2)) and par(mar=c(0, 4, 4, 0) + 0.0) and par(mar=c(0, 0, 4, 3) + 0.0) for the upper-left and upper-right plots, but still get an space between both plots, is there any way to completely eliminate that space?

Thanks for your help on moving files from S+ to R and on attaching directories. If attaching directories is NOT possible in R, is there any other way to separate objects into different folders or something similar? For example, to keep user functions for multivariate analysis in a different "place" than user functions on time series, or to keep data objects of project_1 in a different

Hi! I'm confused by this: > as.numeric(as.POSIXct(518400,origin="2001-01-01")) [1] 978822000 I guess the problem is that as.numeric() assumes a different origin, but cannot find any default origin. How can I get back the seconds from the POSIXct format? In other words, which the inverse function of as.POSIXct()? I've tried as.numeric and unclass() using a origin=

Hi! If I'm plotting 2 variables with the same units (i.e. wing length of 2 species), how can I force that X and Y axes have the same size for length unit? For example, if X ranges from 0 to 10 and Y ranges from 10 to 30, I want Y axis to be twice as long as X axis. I know I can just put xlim and ylim from 0 to 30, i.e., plot(runif(10,0,10),runif(10,10,30),xlim=c(0,30),ylim=c(0,30)) but this

Hi there, Given 2 lists of integer vectors, i.e.: > lista1 $"1" [1] 1 34 5 $"2" [1] 2 1 $"3" [1] 3 10 15 > lista2 $"1" [1] 1 5 $"2" [1] 2 1 $"3" [1] 3 10 29 I want to obtain the union of both, defined as the union of the vectors, that is lista.union[[1]] <- union(lista1[[1]],lista2[[1]]): > lista.union
