dear r-helpers, i created an object named A, which looks like this: A <- c("4.4","1.9","4.1") now i needed to get numbers instead of characters and for this i used the function: as.integer(A) which resulted in: [1] 4 1 4 My question is, why the numbers are rounded or more impotantly if there is a way to keep the decimal numbers? Thank you very much for

Dear people, I have got a question concerning the underlying numerical codes when reading an SPSS file into R. I used the package foreign and when I look at a variable I get the verbal codes.

Does anyone know the solution to this problem? Thank you

Dear useRs, I have a function that creates several global objects with assign("obj",obj,.GlobalEnv), and which I need to run iteratively in another function. The code is similar to f <- function(...) { assign("obj",obj,.GlobalEnv) } fct <- function(...) { for (i in 1:1000) { ... f(...) ...obj... rm(obj) #code fails without this line } } I don't understand

Dear R-helpers, I created an own function which looks like this s_elternmz <- function(Var="balt") { Dg_a<-mz[,c("asbhh","apkz",Var)] colnames(Dg_a)[colnames(Dg_a)=="apkz"]<-"bpkzm" colnames(Dg_a)[colnames(Dg_a)==Var]<-paste(Var,"_m",sep="")

Dear people, I created a plot which looks like this: Ee1<-matrix(c(88,86,74,62,41),ncol=5) colnames(Ee1)<-c("Lehrer","Lehrerinnen","Klassenkollegen","Klassenkolleginnen","Geschwister") par(las=1) par(mar=c(5,13,4,2)) barplot(Ee1,horiz=T,col="grey85",border="NA",xlim=c(0,100),axes=F) axis(2,pos=10, tick=T, tcl=F,

Dear r-helpers, I read a .csv file into R with the following command: A<-read.csv2(file="Mappe3.csv") It worked fine, except that I would like to get rid of the points between the words and get spaces instead like I have got in the .csv file.

Dear folks, I?m trying to build a function to create and make available some variables I frequently use for testing purposes. Suppose I have a function that takes some inputs and creates (internally) several named objects. Say, fun1 <- function(x, y, z) {obj1 <- x; obj2 <- y; obj3 <- z <missing stuff> } Here is the challenge: After I run it, I want the objects to be

Hi everyone, have a small problem trying to converting a dataset in matrix form to an array. Specifically: data include 3D measurement -x,y,z of 59 points in 36 objects. They are stored as a matrix (x) of 2124 rows and 3 columns. What I want to do is to extract each subject's dataset using an array (b). Accordingly, I tried the following command: b<-array(a,c(59,3,36)). The problem is

I have a large R program that I am constantly running over and over again. At the beginning of this program, I create a hige matrix and a huge dataframe but these are constant. What I mean by constant is that, if I run the program over later, I really should just use the old matrix and dataframe ( if they exist ) that were created in a previous run so that the program doesn't have to spend

Dear R-helpers, I have got a vector which looks like the following: apkz <- c(1,2,3,4,5,6,1,1,2,1,2,3,4) now I am trying to find a way to automatically create several vectors, each starting with the number 1, namely: First vector 1 2 3 4 5 6 Second vector 1 Thrid vector 1 2 Fourth vector 1 2 3 4 Does anyone know how to do that?
