Dear all, I am working with a list of objects each of which contains two POSIXct objects (say, $Start and $End) and a number of different data in addition to that. Now an easy way to extract Start times of all object could be sapply(x, "[", "Start") but this converts them all to numeric, and so does sapply(x, "[[", "Start"). lapply preserves the class but

Dear all, Is there a quick and easy way of converting utf characters to the \uxxxx form (necessary e.g. for packages)? I mean something working like this: > utf2uxxxx("õäöü") [1] "\u00f5\u00e4\u00f6\u00fc" It is easy to program but perhaps someone already has implemented this. (I couldn't find anything useful from searches incl RSiteSearch). Thanks in advance, Kenn

Dear all, I've used RODBC a lot to read in files created in MS excel and access but found a strange problem today: a variable in my data file contained both numbers and text; sqlFetch would set text within a row of numbers to NA; but if first 5 or 6 rows would be text then all numbers would be read in as NA. con<-odbcConnectExcel("xample.xls") #the file is attached or at

Dear all, I sometimes use the following function: Curry <- function(FUN,...) { # by Byron Ellis, https://stat.ethz.ch/pipermail/r-devel/2007-November/047318.html .orig <- list(...) function(...) do.call(FUN,c(.orig,list(...))) } ... and have thought it might be convenient to have a method for [ doing this. As a simple example, > apply(M, 1, mean[trim=0.1]) # hypothetical

Dear all, While buildign a package (R 2.15.2 on windows XP) I had three warnings/notes -- I would be grateful for any hints on what to do. 1. The first one is probably not really important if I'm not missing something: cygwin warning: MS-DOS style path detected: C:/x/y/z/package_1.0.tar.gz Preferred POSIX equivalent is: /cygdrive/c/x/y/z/package_1.0.tar.gz CYGWIN environment variable

I have found what looks like a small problem in trunc.POSIXt() involving the transition to/from standard time and daylight savings time. Assuming my assessment is correct, I have a potential solution to offer. If a time in daylight savings time is rounded such that the rounded value is on the other side of the transition, the isdst element does not get changed accordingly. I have tested only

For certain values, round.POSIXt(tm,'day') does not round to midnight as documented. The reason is that trunc.POSIXt() does not adjust the value of the isdst element. Assuming my assessment of the reason is correct, I have a potential solution to offer. Additional discussion is in bug report #1543. -Don > x <- c(as.POSIXct('2001-4-1 3:15'),as.POSIXct('2001-5-2

Full_Name: Petr Simecek Version: 2.5.1, 2.6.1 OS: Windows XP Submission from: (NULL) (195.113.231.2) Several times I have experienced that a length of a POSIXt vector has not been computed right. Example: tv<-structure(list(sec = c(50, 0, 55, 12, 2, 0, 37, NA, 17, 3, 31 ), min = c(1L, 10L, 11L, 15L, 16L, 18L, 18L, NA, 20L, 22L, 22L ), hour = c(12L, 12L, 12L, 12L, 12L, 12L, 12L, NA, 12L,

There was a question in R forum very long time back.. on how to protect R Script files from inadvertent editing by users. There is a way to do this from within R, atleast in Windows XP I have tried this and it certainly works , The method is very different from the OS based folder protection route, however making available such a method in the open forum would only kill the very spirit of R.

Hallo! Is there a package in R that does Q-type factor analysis? I know how to do principal component analysis, but haven't found any application of Q-type factor analysis. Thx, Julia -- Psssst! Schon vom neuen GMX MultiMessenger geh?rt? Der kanns mit allen: http://www.gmx.net/de/go/multimessenger

Suppose X is a long vector of integers (typically about 30000 elements). Is there an efficient way to detect whether there are at least N consecutive zeros in X, and if yes, where does this occur? for example, suppose X is: 1 2 3 4 5 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 3 4 2 0 1 2 0 0 0 2 2 2 2 2 ... and N is 10. I would like a foo(X, 10) to return something like c(6,19) (start and end positions in X

Dear r-devel list members, On a couple of occasions I've encountered the issue illustrated by the following examples: --------- snip ----------- > mod.1 <- lm(Employed ~ GNP.deflator + GNP + Unemployed + + Armed.Forces + Population + Year, data=longley) > mod.2 <- update(mod.1, . ~ . - Year + Year) > all.equal(mod.1, mod.2) [1] TRUE > > f <-

How can i get a trust relationship betwen Samba Domain and Win2k ? I?ve tried many ways like, change win2k register, changig some security directives, etc. The win2k is added at Samba Domain like this useradd -g MYGROUP -d /dev/null -s /bin/false WIN2k$ smbpasswd -a -m WIN2K$ Is there other way?? Thanks

Tracking down this bug was joint work with Jermoe Asselin (jerome at hivnet.ubc.ca) and Patrick Connolly (p.connolly at hortresearch.co.nz). We collectively were able to determine that this is a problem in both Windows 2000 and in Linux and by testing it in our three time zones that it seems to be daylight savings time related. Conversion of POSIXlt datetimes to POSIXct appears to have problems.

Bumping this up to the front again ... because it exhibits a difference in behaviour of R across OSs. Such a 'feature' may not be desirable.

Hello, Following Dirk's post here: https://github.com/Rdatatable/data.table/issues/1619 we would like to clarify if this is the right behaviour, and if so, the rationale behind it. Here's the summary (thanks to Dirk and Joshua): Sys.setenv("TZ"="America/Chicago") dates = as.Date("2016-03-02") + (0:3)*7 # four Wednesdays # [1] "2016-03-02"

I configured winbind, samba and pam.d to authenticate via our Windows Active Directory Server. Everything works fine, I can log on to the system using my Windows Account credentials, I am also able to access the samba home share, but I have no write permissions there. What I don't get is: When I give read-write-access to everybody (chmod 777 /home/%USER%), I am able to create and delete
