Dear all, I have discovered that there are many things that I used to do in my GIS which are easily done directly in R, for example calculating interpoint distances using geoR and pick out points inside a polygon using splancs. I now wonder, is there a function to create a line object like a watercourse and then calculate the distances between many points in space and this line? I couldn't

Hello, I'm working with R version 1.5.0 in Windows. I've written a function (SummaryMat, segment below) which uses a loop to repeatedly call another function (PercentsMat, segment below). PercentsMat creates a matrix and adds rows to it each time it is called. I use deparse(substitute(...)) to get the names of the lists sent to PercentsMat to use them as row names in the generated

Say I have: > set.seed( 1 ) > m <- matrix( runif(5^2), nrow=5, dimnames = list( c("A","B","C","D","E"), > c("O","P","Q","R","S") ) ) > m O P Q R S A 0.2655087 0.89838968 0.2059746 0.4976992 0.9347052 B 0.3721239 0.94467527 0.1765568

Dear readers of the list, I have a problem a comparison of two data from a vector. The comparison yields FALSE but should be TRUE. I have checked for mode(), length() and attributes(). See the following code (R2.10.0): ----------------------------------------------- # data vector of 66 double data X =

#I want to "merge" or "join" 2 dataframes (df1 & df2) into a 3rd (mydf). I want the 3rd dataframe to contain 1 row for each row in df1 & df2, and all the columns in both df1 & df2. The solution should "work" even if the 2 dataframes are identical, and even if the 2 dataframes do not have the same column names. The rbind.fill function seems to work. For

I've come across a handful of tests that fail at our site. I consider this one the worst because the process does not return. The patch below simply bypasss the test, but the errors in the out file are included as well. I suspect this is due to more or tighter ulimits on this system. But I'm not sure if this is result of different expectations (kernel/userland) of what should be done in

I would like to print some tables and figures to a PDF device on a CentOS 5 vps. However, I cannot seem to get the latex function from Hmisc working. I followed the example, and got an error: sh: xdvi: command not found. I tried installing the 'tetex-xdvi' linux package, and now it returns: Error: Can't open display. I guess the reason for this is that the machine is a VPS terminal, so

I would like to suggest a modification to the make.names() function. The current implementation has two problems: 1. It doesn't check if a name matches an R keyword (like "function"). 2. The uniqueness algorithm is not invariant to concatenation. In other words, make.names(c("a","a","a"),unique=T) !=

Using the data set fgl in MASS the following code layout(matrix(1:9,3,3)) for(i in 1:9){ boxplot(fgl[,i] ~ type, data = fgl,main=dimnames(fgl)[[2]][i])} produces a 3 by 3 array of plots, each one of which consists of six boxplots. Is it possible to do this in lattice? Steve "R version 2.7.2 (2008-08-25)" on Ubuntu 6.06

Hello, I would like to use mapply to avoid using a loop but for some reason, I can't seem to get it to work. I've included copies of my code below. The first set of code uses a loop (and it works fine), and the second set of code attempts to use mapply but I get a "subscript out of bounds" error. Any guidance would be greatly appreciated. Xj, Yj, and Wj are also lists, and s2,

Hi, I would like to use the R's outer function on y below so that I can subtract elements from each other. The resulting dataframe is symmetric, save for the negative signs on the other half of the numbers. I would like to get only half of the dataframe. Here is the code I wrote (it is returning only the first line of the all elements I want. Please help).

Greetings all, I am getting this error that is driving me nuts... (not a long trip, haha) I have a set of files and in these files I want to calculate ttests on rows 'compareA' and 'compareB' (these will change over time there I want a variable here). Also these files are in many different directories so I want a way filter out the junk... Anyway I don't believe that this is

Is there a way to override the queue wrapup time on the fly? I would like to allow a longer wrapup time for my agents, but if they are already done with closing up the call ticket, I would like them to be able to dial an extension or something to override the wrapup. Is there a way to do that? -- Regards, Robert Broyles

I got the error. I haven't been able to get a stand along case so that I can show it here. But could somebody give some clue on what could cause this error? Since I never defined xj[i], I don't understand where this error come from. Error in xj[i] : invalid subscript type 'list'

Below is a version of [.data.frame that is faster for subscripting rows of large data frames; it avoids calling duplicated(rows) if there is no need to check for duplicate row names, when: i is logical attr(x, "dup.row.names") is not NULL (S+ compatibility) i is numeric and negative i is strictly increasing "[.data.frame" <- function (x, i, j,

I have a 45 x 16 data frame consisting of dissimilarities among 10 colors, giving in each column the 45 = 10*9/2 pairwise judgments for one of 16 subjects. The rownames identify each pair of colors, e.g, "AC" = ("A","C"), and the pairs are ordered by columns in the lower triangle of each distance matrix. > helm.raw <-

A number of users have spotted a terminal problem with the 'debug' package under R2.4.0, along the lines of > mtrace(x) > x() Error in attr(value, "row.names") <- rlabs : row names must be 'character' or 'integer', not 'double' This arose from a bug in 'rbind.data.frame' in R2.4.0 itself. The bug is fixed in R2.4.0 patched, so the

Dear R community, I'm trying to remove a loop from my code but I'm stock and I can't find a good way to do it. Hopefully one of you will have something clever to propose. Here is a simplified example: I have a squared matrix: > nom.plac2 <- c("102", "103", "301", "303","304", "403") > poids2 <- matrix(NA, 6,6,

Conversion of a data frame to a matrix using as.matrix() when a column of the data frame is POSIXt and all other columns are numeric has changed in R 1.9.0 from R 1.8.1. The new behavior issues a warning message and converts to a character matrix. In R 1.8.1, such an object was converted to a numeric matrix. Here is an example. #### R 1.9.0 #### > foo <- data.frame(
