Dear R, I've got a data frame with children examined multiple times and at various ages. I'm trying to find the first age at which another variable (LDL-Cholesterol) is >= 130 mg/dL; for some children, this may never happen. I can do this with transformBy and ddply, but with 10,000 different children, these functions take some time on my PCs - is there a faster way to do this in R?

Hi, as an R-beginner, I have a recoding problem and hope you can help me: I am working on a SPSS dataset, which I loaded into R (load("C:/...) I have 2 existing Variables: "ID" and "X" , and one variable to be computed: meanX.dependID (=mean of X for all rows in which ID has the same value) ID = subject ID. Since it is a longitudinal dataset, there are repeated

Dear list, I have a data.frame with x, y values and a 3-level factor "group", say. I want to create a new column in this data.frame with the values of y scaled to 1 by group. Perhaps the example below describes it best: > x <- seq(0, 10, len=100) > my.df <- data.frame(x = rep(x, 3), y=c(3*sin(x), 2*cos(x), > cos(2*x)), # note how the y values have a different

dear R-team I need to find the min, max values for each patient from dataset and keep the output of it as a dataframe with the following columns - Patient nr - Region (remains same per patient) - Min score - Max score Patient Region Score Time 1 1 X 19 28 2 1 X 20 126 3 1 X 22 100 4 1 X 25 191 5 2 Y 12 1

Dear R Developers, DISCLAIMER: I am new to package development in R and new to this list. I am trying to do something along the lines of: SEXP test_fun (SEXP filename) { const char *inputfile = translateChar(STRING_ELT(filename, 0)); int abc = some_function(inputfile); ... } The code compiles fine, but I get a warning: "passing argument of 'some_function' discards qualifiers

Dear R users, I am encoutering the following problem: I have a dataset with a 'unique_id' and different 'visit_date' (formatted as.Date, "%d/%m/%Y") per unique_id. I would like to create a new variable with the most recent date of visit per unique_id as shown below. unique_id visit_date last_visit_date 1 01/06/2010 01/06/2011 1 01/01/2011 01/06/2011 1

Dear list, I have two things I am struggling... # First set.seed(123) myD <- data.frame( Light = sample(LETTERS[1:2], 10, replace=T), Feed = sample(letters[1:5], 20, replace=T), value=rnorm(20) ) # Mean for Light myD$meanLight <- unlist( lapply( myD$Light, function(x) mean( myD$value[myD$Light == x]) ) ) # Mean for Feed

Hi! We are running llvm jit x86 on MS Visual Studio 2005. It seems there is a bug in asm code in function X86CompilationCallback in file X86JITInfo.cpp. Current code sets stack pointer to invalid value in instruction "and esp, 16". Depending on current stack pointer value it sometimes overwrites ecx and edx registers with next three lines. We have fixed this problem by changing this

I have a question regarding?the very useful doBy package, and specifically, the transformBy() function?with the lag() and diff() functions. ?It is often useful to lag or difference data within a panel, i.e., within a by-group. ?Is the following code a safe use of transformBy? Is there an alternative? First, does the initial "orderBy" statement guarantee that the Time order will be

Dear all, I would appreciate please a piece of help regarding the use of acast/dcast functions in reshape2 package. Specifically, I'm working with a data frame, that has information about SAMPLE, GENE, and TYPE of MUTATION (as shown below): Sample Gene Type 22M AEBP1 SNV 17M AEBP1 SNV 22M ATR INDEL 22M ATR SNV 11M BTK SNV 11M BTK

hi, i'm trying to prepend some plain (i.e. unevalutated) text to a typographically evaluated R expression in a legend(...) call. here's a working legend(...) call that is close to what i'd like (where x and y are returned from an lm(...) call): legend("topleft", legend = c(bquote(R^2 == .(summary(x)$r.squared)), bquote(R^2 == .(summary(y)$r.squared))), fill =

I seem to be running into the same problem reported in https://stat.ethz.ch/pipermail/r-help/2010-November/258265.html I cannot seem to transform a dataset from long to wide using reshape2. Clearly I am missing something very simple but a look at the manual and the reshape paper in JSS does not suggest anything. Any advice would be welcome ===========================load

Hi, I've tried to look through all the previous related Threads/posts but can't find a solution to what's probably a simple question. ? I have a data frame comprised of three columns e.g.: ? ID1?ID2?Value a?b?1 b?d?1 c?a?2 c?e?1 d?a?1 e?d?2 ? I'd like to convert the data to a matrix i.e.: ? ?a b c d e a n/a 1 2 1 n/a b 1 n/a n/a 1 n/a? c 2 n/a n/a n/a 1 d 1 1 n/a n/a 2 e n/a n/a 1

Hi all, Is there any chance that readRDS and saveRDS might one day become read.rds and write.rds? That would make them more consistent with the other reading and writing functions.
