similar to: I hope Sally also loves Bob...

Yes, both are rooted in age-old design infelicities (in which, basically, interactive expedience has taken precedence over consistency and generality). Unfortunately, they are quite difficult to rectify, because there are bound to be countless uses of, say, diag(5) as a 5x5 identity matrix which would break if it suddenly meant the 1x1 matrix(5) instead. We'd need a very carefully

Dear Help, Suppose I have a character vector. x <- c("Bob", "loves", "Sally") I want to combine it into a single string: "Bob loves Sally" . paste(x) yields: paste(x) [1] "Bob" "loves" "Sally" The following function combines the character vector into a string in the way that I want, but it seems somewhat inelegant.

Full_Name: Barry Rowlingson Version: 1.6.0 OS: RH8 i386 Submission from: (NULL) (148.88.136.205) Strange things happen if I premultiply a difftime() object with a number. Example: > d1 <- difftime(Sys.time(),Sys.time()) > d2 <- 1 * difftime(Sys.time(),Sys.time()) > d3 <- difftime(Sys.time(),Sys.time()) * 1 > d1 Time difference of 0 secs - thats fine > d2 [1] 0

Barry, Would you mind providing the necessary patch for this behavior?

I see some value in Duncan?s proposal to implement this as an extra package instead of a change to base R, if only to see if the idea has legs. I?m minded to do so myself using your suggestion, but is there a particular reason why you recommend using the remotes package instead of devtools? The latter seems to have the same functions I would need, and I believe it is more widely installed that

Is there a function to convert from plot coordinates to device coordinates? It should be easy enough to work out from various par() parameters - namely usr, plt, and fig. 'usr' tells us where an (x,y) point is in the plot, then 'plt' tells us where it is in the figure, then 'fig' tells us where it is in the ((0,1),(0,1)) device space. Then there's the slight

I've just spent a couple of idle weekends getting a version of the S-plus 'maps' library working under R. For those unfamiliar with the maps library, it lets you map a geographical region, split into areas, and optionally colour-fill those areas according to some variable. For example: R> library(maps) R>

Hi sri, I think that I see what you mean. Your statements: x = Count_A_less_than_max of (Count type B) y = Count_A_higher_than_max of (Count type B). I took to mean that you wanted a logical value for x and y. Looking more closely at your initial message, I see that you wanted _all_ values of A with respect to maxB in x and y. The error with maximum values was due to a typo. Perhaps this will do

If I have a dataframe which is organized like this: name color likes? 1 sally red 0 2 sally blue 1 3 sally green 1 4 jake red 0 5 jake blue 1 6 jake green 1 7 tom red 1 8 tom blue 0 9 tom green 0 And I want to create a matrix in the form: red blue green sally 0 1 1 jake 0 1 1 tom 1 0 0 Are there any built-in

Hi all, I have downloaded the latest version of wine in order to run iTunes but when I tried to execute the program here is what I get : cd /home/sally/Documents $ wine iTunes64Setup.exe Trying to load PE image for unsupported architecture (AMD-64) err:process:create_process starting 64-bit process L"Z:\\home\\sally\\Documents\\iTunes64Setup.exe" not supported on this platform wine:

Mosix is a cluster operating system that is a set of kernel patches to Linux on i386 machines. It allows processes to migrate to other nodes on the cluster transparently. See www.mosix.org for details. However, my R processes were refusing to migrate. Using strace, and delving into the R code, I found that it was due to a large number of calls to the system setjmp and longjmp routines - the

Hi All, I was trying to templatize some JSP page I would like to dynamically generates but it looks like puppet doesn''t like it. Common JSP tags are <% ... %> so I guess it''s getting confused between regular tags and jsp''s one. This is an example of the trace it is givin me : /etc/puppet/modules/xxx/templates/webapps/xxx/yyy/Mantle.jsp:1:in `result'':

Hi Jim, Thanks for your time. But somehow this code did not help me to achieve my expected output. Problems: 1) x, y are coming as logical rather than values as I mentioned in my post 2) The values that I get for Max A and Max B not correct 3) It looks like a pretty big data, but I just need to concatenate the values with a comma, the final output will be a character

Hi sri, As your problem involves a few logical steps, I found it easier to approach it in a stepwise way. Perhaps there are more elegant ways to accomplish this. svdat<-read.table(text="Count id name type 117 335 sally A 19 335 sally A 167 335 sally B 18 340 susan A 56 340 susan A 22 340 susan B 53 340 susan B 135 351 lee A 114 351 lee A 84 351 lee A 80 351 lee A 19 351 lee A 8 351 lee A

Hi Peter, The ssconvert tool (part of gnumeric) is very good at converting spreadsheets to csv-files. There is a wrapper in the "gnumeric" package on cran.

Thank you for interesting examples. I would find useful to document this behavior also in `?mean`, while `+` operator is also affected, the `sum` function is not. For mean, NA / NaN could be handled in loop in summary.c. I assume that performance penalty of fix is the reason why this inconsistency still exists.
