I observe dificulties with using data.frame(I(matrix)) > mat <- matrix(letters, 2, 2) > dimnames(mat) <- list(c(1:2), c("x","y")) > mat x y 1 "a" "c" 2 "b" "d" > dd <- data.frame(I(mat)) > ddd I.mat..x I.mat..y 1 a a 2 b b 3 c c doesn't look too bad, but, has

Here is a possible BUG with as.data.frame() and/or [.data.frame which broke Michael Lapsleys RODBC-Code. Can anyone confirm it is a bug or a 'feature' of the prototype? tablename <- "abc" a <- as.data.frame(cbind("abc", 1:3)) b <- as.data.frame(cbind(tablename, 1:3)) # ok > a V1 V2 1 abc 1 2 abc 2 3 abc 3 # missing column name > b tablename 1

Can anyone give advice how to interactively exchange data between R and SQL-Databases like DB2, ORACLE, MS-SQL-Server ? If the answer is: 'currently not', this would be information for me as well.

-- Happy holidays! -- Dear R Development Core Team, I want to thank you *very much* for the new "Writing R Extensions" manual published with RW0.901 and hope this is the right place to report some possible typos. page 17, example given in the middle of the page, I think it should read REAL(version) = 3.0; ^^^^^^^ page 23, second example, I think the parameter definition

Dear all, In RW0901 I could > dates("01/01/2000") [1] 01/01/100 where only the printing was wrong, but the double numeric representation of the chron object was calculated correctly but now in RW0990 > dates("01/01/2000") Error in fun(yy, ...) : must be 2-digit (numeric) year specification and also the followig doesn't help > dates("01/01/2000",

Hi, under RW0.651 and RW0.091 I found > x <- data.frame(char=I(letters[1:3]), num=1:3, log=c(TRUE, FALSE, NA), fak=factor(letters[24:26])) > x char num log fak 1 a 1 TRUE x 2 b 2 FALSE y 3 c 3 NA z > > x[1,1] <- 'a' > x[1,1] [1] "1" > > x$char[1] <- 'a' > x$char[1] [1] "a" > >

I observed the following difference: > ddd <- data.frame(a=1:3, b=1:3) # assignment of 'X' silently ignored > ddd[1,1] <- 'X' > is.factor(ddd[[1]]) [1] FALSE > ddd a b 1 1 1 2 2 2 3 3 3 # assignment of 'X' not ignored > ddd[[1]][1] <- 'X' > is.factor(ddd[[1]]) [1] TRUE > ddd a b 1 X 1 2 2 2 3 3 3 Regards > version

I have a question concerning memory. I understood that R takes a fixed amount of memory at startup (which I can influence with --vsize --nsize) and that gc() shows the memory still free of the total memory reserved for R. However, if I create a long vector of character data, gc() only seem to reflect the space needed for a vector of pointers to char, the space used for the character data itself

Some days ago a problem with perl under WinNT was reported, which lead to > > t1 <- read.fwf("d:/maj/consulting/MarkStevens/matrix.txt", width=c(4, 22, > rep(7, 8))) > Error: "scan" can't open file I installed perl from the WindowsNt Recource Kit CD (Sept. 98) and encountered the same problem: Scan couldn't open the file - because perl did not produce

I like to have a continuously running R process, which can receive a dataframe from a client (over TCP/IP), does some processing, and sends some data back. What is the prefered way to do this? Using the socket interface? Using omega's CORBA stuff? Does anyone has example code for doing so? Thanks for any help Regards -- Dr. Jens Oehlschl?gel-Akiyoshi Analyse MD FACTORY GmbH Gr?nstr. 15

If you have the following dataframe: > x <- data.frame(x=I(rep('"', 3))) then > as.matrix(x)[1,1] == x[1,1] [1] FALSE which seems to be WRONG to me. Also I don't understand > x x 1 \\\" 2 \\\" 3 \\\" Details ======= As expected > unclass(x) $x [1] "\"" "\"" "\"" attr(,"class") [1]

Yesterday I asked for help about read.table with a CSV file. I received the following help. As always many thanks for the prompt responses. Now I load my csv file in a text editor ( pfe) and delete all spaces. My original mail is at the end. From: Peter Dalgaard BSA <p.dalgaard at biostat.ku.dk> Do you have spaces before the commas in your file? > Yes, number , space,

Hi, When trying to generate very long strings, my R hangs without any error message, even if given much memory. # e.g. x <- character(10) for (i in 1:10) x[i] <- paste(1:1000, collapse="abc") paste(x, collapse="") # or directly paste(1:10000, collapse="abc") Am I violating any max(nchar(character())) or is this a bug? Regards Jens Oehlschl?gel-Akiyoshi

Hi, below is a function which pastes a matrix, but uses parsing (deparse(substitute()) and eval()). Does anyone know a more standard solution to pasting a matrix?

Some days ago I asked for general methods to access SQL-Databases.

I realise that there is an existing system for documenting datasets but what I would like is to be able to whack a few lines of commentary at the top of a file which contains data -- not full documentation but just an outline for myself to remind me of what I was doing or what settings I was using, etc. I was thinking that the read.table() function might be extended to support an option allowing

Hi, I have the following question about creating data frames. I want to create a data frame with 2 components: a vector and a matrix. Let me use a simple example: y <- rnorm(10) x <- matrix(rnorm(150), nrow=10) Now if I do dd <- data.frame(x=x, y=y) I get a data frame with 16 colums, but if, according to the documentation, I do dd <- data.frame(x=I(x), y=y) then str(dd)
