similar to: gsub/strsplit with multiple patterns/splits

Hello, I was wondering if anyone has run across this problem in the past and might be able to suggest a solution. I did a review of the FAQ's link trying to find a topic that closely related to the experience I was having, however I didn't see anything that might help in diagnosing the problem. While invoking the options under the "package" menu I get the following errors:

I have a question about the Reduce function: x <- list() x[[1]] <- LETTERS[1:5] x[[2]] <- LETTERS[11:15] Reduce(paste, x) [1] "A K" "B L" "C M" "D N" "E O" How do I get this?: [1] "A" "K" [2] "B" "L" [3] "C" "M" [4] "D" "N" [5] "E" "O"

Hi, I am using R's grep function to find patterns in vectors of strings. The number of patterns I would like to match is 7,700 (of different sizes). I noticed that I get an error message when I do the following: data <- array() for (j in 1:length(x)) { array[j] <- length(grep(paste(patterns[1:7700], collapse = "|"), x[j], value = T)) } When I break this up into 4 chunks of

I want R to read my Microsoft Access database or maybe even a Sybase database. I installed RODBC or at least thought I did. Then I issued the following command: library(RODBC) And got Error in lazyLoadDBfetch(key, datafile, compressed, envhook) : ReadItem: unknown type 241 In addition: Warning message: package 'RODBC' was built under R version 2.3.0 Error: package/namespace

I would really appreciate it if anyone could determine what is going on with the following command. It is only half-working and is losing lots of data. For the life of me I cannot even see the pattern of what it is losing and what it is not. I am attaching the R data set which you can use with the Load Workspace menu function.

Hi, I have a series of MS word files and each file contains plain text. From these texts I would like to extract only those elements (read: words) that are between square brackets. Example of a text: Most fundamentally, it has led to an effort to clarify the organizational form concept. According to them [see also Smith, Jones and Carroll 2002], categories emerge as audience members recognize

How does one create a vector whose contents is the list of variables in a dataframe pertaining to a particular pattern? This is so simple but I cannot find a straightforward answer. I want to be able to pass the contents of that list to a "for" loop. So let us assume that one has a dataframe whose name is Data. And let us assume one had the height of a group of people measured at

Hi, I have the following sequence: in <- c(0, 0, 0, 2, 1, 0, 0, 0, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1, 0, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 0, 2, 0, 2, 0, 0, 2) >From this sequence I would like to get to the following sequence: out <- c(0, 0, 0, 3, 3, 0, 0, 0, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1, 0, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 11, 11, 11, 11, 11, 11, 11, 11, 11, 11, 11, 0, 2, 0, 2, 0, 0, 2) Basically,

I followed the threads that enquired about doing post-hoc tests after doing Kruskal testing. It took me to npmc. But npmc is giving an output I do not understand. I noticed a thread entitled "npmc function: 'x' must be atomic" but there never appeared to be a resolution. > npmc(npmcinput) Error in sort(unique.default(x), na.last = TRUE) : 'x' must be atomic

I am involved in a study where, as in most of life, men demonstrate themselves to be recalcitrant. So while we have many probands and most of their mothers we only have about 50% of the trios being complete. I have been running tdt and trio.types. It appears as if it is ignoring the duos. Sometimes a duo can be informative. For instance Father ..missing Mother 1/2 Proband 1/1 This duo shows that

I am about one step away from heaven on earth. I think only one step! I am using dgc.genetics to run a TDT test on thousands of genetic loci. I have learnt (through the help of others on this mailing list) to send the complex output to useful data frames which in turn allow me to look at the big picture and screen the thousands of loci. Resultdt<-lapply(PGWide[,240:290], tdt) the above

Hi, The following returns an error message. How do I evaluate (TRUE or FALSE) the function? require(XML) readHTMLTable("http://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/2969/000095012399010952/0000950123-99-010952.txt") Thanks in advance!

Hi, I have written a function "harvest" and I would like to run the function for each value in a vector c(1:1000). The function returns 4 list objects (obj_1, obj_3, obj_3, obj_4) using the following code at the end of the function: return(list(obj_1 = obj_1, obj_2 = obj_2, obj_3 = obj_3, obj_4 = obj_4)). Since I am connecting with the web in the function and the connection sometimes

Hi list, based on the following data.frame I would like to create a variable that indicates the number of occurrences of A in the 3 years prior to the current year: DF = data.frame(read.table(textConnection(" A B 8025 1995 8026 1995 8029 1995 8026 1996 8025 1997 8026 1997 8025 1997 8027 1997 8026 1999 8027 1999 8028 1995 8029 1998 8025 1997 8027 1997 8026 1999 8027 1999

I am using dgc.genetics to perform TDT analysis on SNP data from a cohort of trios. I now have a file with about 6008 variables. The first few variables related to the pedigree data such as the pedigree ID the person ID etc. Thereafter each variable is a specific locus or marker. The variables are named by a pattern such as "Genotype.nnnnn" with nnnnn corresponding to a number which

Bottom Line Up Front: How does one reshape genetic data from long to wide? I currently have a lot of data. About 180 individuals (some probands/patients, some parents, rare siblings) and SNP data from 6000 loci on each. The standard formats seem to be something along the lines of Famid, pid, fatid, motid, affected, sex, locus1Allele1, locus1Allele2, locus2Allele1, locus2Allele2, etc In other

Hi, I have produced a list g and I would like to reduce the amount of information contained in each object in g. For each matrix I would like to keep the values where the column name equals g[year][[1]][[x]] and the row names equals g[year][[1]][[-x]]. So in g$`1999`$`8029`, year = 1999 and x = 8029. I have been experimenting with the subset function, but have been unsuccesful. Thanks for your

Hi, I perform the operations unlist,strsplit,gsub and the for loop on a lot of strings and its heavily slowing down the overall system. Is there some way for me to speeden up these operations..maybe like alternate versions that exist which use multiprocessors etc. -- Rajesh.J [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Hi, I have data on individuals (B) who participated in events (A). If ALL participants in an event are a subset of the participants in another event I would like to remove the smaller event and if the participants in one event are exactly similar to the participants in another event I would like to remove one of the events (I don't care which one). The following example does that however it

A while back Gabor Grothendieck suggested that I try http://news.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lang.r.general. This was after I asked how to easily reply to posts on the listserve. Ideally I would like the functionality that I find in Microsoft Outlook Express newsreader for usenet groups or what I find in Google Groups. I started using gmane about 3 weeks ago. I find it fantastic for searching and for
