I have two factors l1, l2, and I'd like to merge them. (Remark: The factors can not be converted to charaters) Function c() does not give me the result I want: > l1 = factor(c('aaaa', 'bbbb')) > l2 = factor(c('ccc', 'dd')) > lMerge = factor(c(l1, l2)) > lMerge [1] 1 2 1 2 Levels: 1 2 > I'd like to merge l1 and l2 and to get lMerge

Hi everybody. The question: I get two vectors 'iFalseFalse' and 'i2'. I think they should be the same but they are not. Is it because R does not handle complicated logical expressions in such cases or I do something wrong? > z1 = c(NA, "", 3, NA, "", 3) > z2 = c("", "", 3, NA, 3, NA) > cV = (as.character(z1)==as.character(z2))

Today is a good day for asking question, I guess. > c() NULL > > length(c())==0 [1] TRUE > > r = ifelse(length(c())!=0, c(), c(1,2)) ### OK > r = c() ### OK > r = ifelse(length(c())==0, c(), c(1,2)) ### why this is not OK (given > the previous two)? Error in "[<-"(`*tmp*`, test, value = rep(yes, length =

Hi, everybody. This was an interesting discussion last time and it helped me a lot. Could you please have a look at some feature and tell me why it was designed this way (my questions are under #########) > x = c(1, 10) > y = c(99, 55) > d <- data.frame(x = x, y = y) > d x y 1 1 99 2 10 55 > add <- data.frame(x = 14, y = 99) > add x y 1 14 99 > d <-

The funciton c() works differently for strings and for factors: For strings: > l = c('a', 'b') > l [1] "a" "b" For factors: > l = c(factor('a'), factor('b')) > l [1] 1 1 What should be the right technique for merging factors? -- Svetlana Eden Biostatistician II School of Medicine

Thank you for your answers, I have another question: the behaviour of setdiff(indicesFalse, indicesNA) does not seem predictable to me. > indices [1] 1 2 3 4 5 6 > compareVector [1] NA TRUE TRUE TRUE FALSE NA > indicesNA = indices[is.na(compareVector)] > indicesNA [1] 1 6 > indicesFalse = indices[compareVector == FALSE] > indicesFalse [1] NA 5 NA >

Hi, I was trying like to print out data frame with POSIXct column in html format using xtable package, but I got error message when trying to print the table. Here is example: aaa<-data.frame(as.POSIXct(strptime('03 2005', '%d %Y')),0) aaa.tab<-xtable(aaa) print(aaa.tab) Error in Math.POSIXt(x + ifelse(x == 0, 1, 0)) : abs not defined for POSIXt objects

I just encountered another RTFM problem: With diff(as.POSIXct(...), ...) I was unable to control the units of the results. Examples: > (d.d <- diff(as.POSIXct(c('2012-12-12', '2012-12-13')))) Time difference of 1 days > (d.h <- diff(as.POSIXct(c('2012-12-12 08:00', '2012-12-12 09:00')))) Time difference of 1 hours > (d.m <-

Dear List: I have a simple two-column data set in .csv format, with the first column being the date and second column being some value. I use read.csv() to import the data as follows: x <- read.csv("myfile.csv",header=T, dec=".", colClasses=c(Date="POSIXct")) The structure of x is: > str(x) `data.frame': 2959 obs. of 2 variables: $

First of all, I do not understand why conversion to characters are not allowed. That's what Sundar's solution is doing implicitly (but more elegantly). Here's a test of all three. See the function definitions below. > f1 <- factor(sample(letters[1:3], 1e4, replace=TRUE)) > f2 <- factor(sample(letters[3:5], 1e4, replace=TRUE)) > f3 <- factor(sample(letters[5:7],

I've been running the 8/1/2004 Head release up until a little over a week ago. I was forced to due to a card failure to upgrade to 1.2.16 without any advance preparation or testing (most of my connections are via satellite to all corners of the globe with high latency). Up until the upgrade I was running with very few issues. Since the upgrade I have been experiencing strange issues

R 3.5.0 Is it intended that the Date method of as.POSIXct does not respect the tz parameter? I suggest changing as.POSIXct.Date to this: function (x, tz = "", ...) .POSIXct(unclass(x) * 86400, tz = tz) Currently, the best workaround seems to be using the character method if one doesn't want the default timezone (which is often an annoying DST timezone). This came up on

Full_Name: Bo Zhou Version: 2.6.1 (2007-11-26) OS: Windows XP Submission from: (NULL) (207.237.54.242) Hi, I found an arithmetic problem when I'm doing something with POSIXct The code to reproduce it is as follows (This is the recommended way of finding out time zone difference on R News 2004-1 Page 32 URL http://cran.r-project.org/doc/Rnews/Rnews_2004-1.pdf) a=Sys.time()

R developers, The "tzone" attribute is stripped from a POSIXct object when the subscript command is called ("[.POISXct"). This results in dates being printed in the locale specific format after a subscript operation is applied to a POSIXct object which has cause several problems for me in the past. Here is an example of this problem under R 1.9.1: > x <-

Inside of the anyNA() function, it will use the legacy any(is.na()) code if x is an OBJECT(). If x is a vector of POSIXct, it will be an OBJECT(), but it is also TYPEOF(x) == REALSXP. Therefore, it will skip the faster ITERATE_BY_REGION, which is typically 5x faster in my testing. Is the OBJECT() condition really necessary, or could it be moved after the switch() for the individual TYPEOF(x)
