similar to: cbind/rbind inconsistency with NULL parameter (PR#3595)

R-Version: 1.7.1 (2003-06-16) OS: Debian/GNU Linux cbind and rbind handle NULL parameters inconsistently. Consider: > cbind() NULL > cbind(NULL) NULL And: > cbind(diag(x = 1, 1, 1)) [,1] [1,] 1 > cbind(NULL, diag(x = 1, 1, 1)) [,1] [1,] 1 These seem to indicate that NULL parameters will be ignored in any call to cbind and rbind. However: >

Dear R Users and maintainers of packages zoo and timeSeries, I believe there is a recently introduced inconsistency between timeSeries and zoo which is causing a problem with rbind. I had previously reported that I was having problems with rbind in the following code: library(zoo) foo<-zoo(1,order.by=as.Date("2007-10-09")) bar<-zoo(2,order.by=as.Date("2007-10-10"))

I created a type of object similar to a data frame. In some circumstances, It needs special methods for "[" and "[<-" and rbind() (but not cbind()). Then I found this in the cbind()/rbind() man page: The method dispatching is _not_ done via 'UseMethod()', but by C-internal dispatching. Therefore, there is no need for, e.g., 'rbind.default'.

I've implemented the proposed changes in R-devel. Minimally tested, so please try it. It should delegate to r/cbind2 when there is at least one S4 argument and S3 dispatch fails (so you'll probably want to add an S3 method for your class to introduce a conflict, otherwise it will dispatch to cbind.data.frame if one of the args is a data.frame). There may no longer be a need for cBind() and

Hi Michael, I've tested your change in r67699 (using r67773) and the function now correctly dispatches to r/cbind2 within the R-session without bind_activation(TRUE). However, running unit tests using R CMD check I figured out that the same function call delegates to r/cbind.matrix (function uses S4 class as first- and matrix as second argument). Is this a bug and/or how can I get function

Dear list, I wonder if there a better way to have rbind/cbind/append to create the first element (if it is empty) instead of doing the following in a loop? for (i in 1:10) { if (i == 1) { aRow = SomeExpression(i) } else { aRow = rbind(aRow,SomeExpression(i)) } } Thanks Anthony

Dear list, Is there a generalised form of rbind/cbind for combining matrices/arrays into higher-D structures? ie. if I have: a <- matrix(2,2,2) b <- matrix(3,2,2) how can I get array(rep(c(3,2), each=4), c(2,2,2)) ? It seems like this would be the job of a generalised abind function: abind(a,b, along=1) == rbind(a,b) abind(a,b, along=2) == cbind(a,b) abind(a,b, along=3)

Hi, I am wondering whether we can apply 'cbind/rbind' on many **equivalent** list objects. For example please consider following: > list1 <- list2 <- vector("list", length=2); names(list1) <- names(list2) <- c("a", "b") > list1[[1]] <- matrix(1:25, 5) > list1[[2]] <- matrix(2:26, 5) > list2[[1]] <- 10:14 > list2[[2]] <-

sorry - I just got irritated by my different R-versions. The behaviour I described in the previous mail was discovered using R 3.1.2 without bind_activation(TRUE). In r67773 all calls are delegated to r/cbind.matrix and not r/cbind2. As a workaround I have now implemented an S3 method for my S4 class which correctly dispatches for both versions (3.1.2 and r67699+) - see also the commit for the h5

Hello Everyone, I am using R 2.15.0 and I came across this behaviour and I was wondering why I don't get an integer vector or and integer matrix with the following code: > z <- c(1, 2:0, 3, 4:8) > typeof(z) [1] "double" > z <- rbind(1, 2:0, 3, 4:8) Warning message: In rbind(1, 2:0, 3, 4:8) : number of columns of result is not a multiple of vector length (arg

As some of you may have seen / heard in the past, it is not possible to make cbind() and rbind() into proper S4 generic functions, since their first formal argument is '...'. [ BTW: S3-methods for these of course only dispatch on the first argument which is also not really satisfactory in the context of many possible matrix classes.] For this reason, after quite some discussion on

Hi R users: When I try to merge or bind (cbind or rbind) two series, both with a "FinCenter" different that GMT, the result is "GMT" not the original financial center? What am I doing wrong? ###################################################### require(timeSeries) getRmetricsOptions("myFinCenter") setRmetricsOptions(myFinCenter = "America/Bogota")

Today's R 1.9.0 beta: > m1 [,1] [,2] [,3] [,4] [1,] NA NA NA NA [2,] NA NA NA NA [3,] NA NA NA NA [4,] NA NA NA NA > class(m1[1,1]) [1] "list" > cbind(m1,m1) Error in cbind(...) : cannot create a matrix from these types > rbind(m1,m1) Error in rbind(...) : cannot create a matrix from these types > version _

I often need to "combine" data frames, sometimes "vertically" and other times "horizontally". When it "better" to use merge? When is it better to use rbind or cbind? Are there clear pros and cons of each approach? --------------------------------- [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Hi, > m5 <- cbind(integer(5), integer(5)) > m5 [,1] [,2] [1,] 0 0 [2,] 0 0 [3,] 0 0 [4,] 0 0 [5,] 0 0 > dimnames(m5) NULL No dimnames, as expected. > m0 <- cbind(integer(0), integer(0)) > m0 [,1] [,2] > dimnames(m0) [[1]] NULL [[2]] NULL Unexpected dimnames attribute!

Hi, I have been trying for a while to use cbind and rbind to add a row and column to the same table but seem to be able only to add one OR the other??? Any help would be most welcome, Tony Evans Australia [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

I have uneven vectors I want to use cbind or rbind to combine them into a matrix. Is there a way to make it so that R would not return error msg saying they're uneven? Thanks. Edward Chen Email: tkedch@msn.com Cell Phone: 510-371-4717 [[alternative HTML version deleted]]
