Hi all, I have a function which makes use of missing() to determine which arguments are provided in the call - basically, there are two sets of arguments that map to different strategies the function uses to fulfill its task. After conversion to an S4 generic I've run into the problem that if a method uses extra arguments that are not in the signature of the generic, usage of missing()

Dear list members, I have defined a binary operator %append% with methods for some S4 classes. In my documentation file, I want to list the methods explicitly by using e.g.: \S4method{\%append\%}{RecLinkData,RecLinkData}(x, y) In the HTML documentation this comes out right as ## S4 method for signature 'RecLinkResult,RecLinkResult' x %append% y , but R CMD check

Dear R-devel members, I would like to compile a package with two seperate shared libraries. For example, in a package 'foo', a file 'bar.so' built from a distinct set of source files should be installed in addition to the default 'foo.so' (or .dll on windows). Does anyone know about a way to achieve this without having a custom Makefile, e.g. via 'Makevars'?

Hi all, I just stumbled across the difference between explicit and 'automatic' row names for data frames. Is there a quick way to find out if a data frame has automatic row names or not? Of course I know this for data frames that I create myself, but what if a function needs to extract this information for an argument? The following example shows that this property is not easily

Hi all, I am posting this again because I got no reply on r-help. Maybe the devel-list is the right place for this kind of question. I've run into the following problem with Sweave: I frequently run Sweave from a xterm console within an X session owned by a different user, i.e. my colleague is logged in on this computer and I do "su" with my username and start R and Sweave

Hi R-users, I am trying to divide a vector (say X) into equal frequency bins. If one uses the hist() function, then a histogram is plotted, but with bins of equal widths, and not with bins having the same number of data points. I have then tried the histogram() function as follows: histogram(X, nint=10, breaks=NULL, equal.widths=F) This works as I want. However, I can't extract which

Hello to everybody I have vector of drug dosage in string format 1.5 mg , 50 mg , 100 mg , 0.5 mg ... The task is to remove last free symbols: ' mg' Any suggestions are highly appreciated

Hi all, I use txtProgressBar to monitor progress of large computations. What I miss is the ability to redirect the progress bar to a stream other than stdout, specifically to the message stream. This would be useful for running Sweave scripts: When redirected to stderr, the bar could be visible even though console output is diverted to the output file (and there would be no cluttering of the

Hello List. I have many files of ECG, each one with 7 column and I need only the second column and the name of each ECG. I am doing this but althought I have various days trying this i haven't gotten, so I ask help with this, if somebody cans help me I'll be so thankfully. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Running linux 10.04 ubuntu. Looks like Ubuntu automatically updated to version 2.13. I was running version 2.12 until today. But now I'm getting error messages when I use the require or library command and one of the packages I've downloaded in the past. For example: > require(quantmod) Loading required package: quantmod Warning message: In library(package, lib.loc = lib.loc,

hi I need some help in dbWriteTable. I'm not able to insert the rows in the table if the column order are not same in the database and in the dataframe which i'm inserting. Also facing issue if the table is already created externally and inserting it thru dbWrite. is there some way that we can sepecify the rownames in the dbwrite..or any method which will solve my problem -- View

Dear users, I have looked on different sources and found different functions to prompt the user to provide input. However, I couldn't find one that does exactly what I'm looking for. select.list() and menu() are nice because a graphic window appears to prompt the user. However, the user can only choose from a predefined list of choices. readline() and scan() are more free in the

I was on vacation the last week and wrote some code to run a 500-day correlation between the Nasdaq tracking stock (QQQ) and 191 currency pairs for 500 days. The initial run took 9 hours(!) and I'd like to make it faster. So, I'm including my code below, in hopes that somebody will be able to figure out how to make it faster, either through parallelisation, or by making changes. I've

Dear all, i have a dataset of about 400 records , with a variable that has  two levels 40 bad and 360 good among other variables,how do i come up  with10 random samples that have the composition of as the main sample  but maintaining the 40 bad 360 good with replacement, i recently discovered that my random samples generated dont maintain the ratio. My code is as  : mysample <-

Dear r helpers, At first, I apologize for raising a query which seems to be a stupid interpretation on my part. I am trying to learn SQLite. Following is an example given in the RSQLite.zip file (Page # 4) drv <- dbDriver("SQLite") tfile <- tempfile() con <- dbConnect(drv, dbname = tfile) data(USArrests) dbWriteTable(con, "arrests", USArrests) On the similar

Dear Sirs. It seems to me a never ending story. We run a box with a TYAN Thunder 2500 Dual SMP mainboard, 2GB ECC Tyan certified memory, AMI Enterprise 1600 RAID adapter and additional Intel 1000/Pro server type (64 bit) GBit LAN NIC. With FreeBSD 4.8 this was stable, but to achive this state was really hard! It is a story similar to that what happend when we changed towards FreeBSD

Hello ALL! I am an Linux user (Debian testing i386), with very dusty Win-experience. Nevertheless, my colleagues and I are making some package in R, and I built C-routines to speed up things. I followed instruction how to compile C for R (very useful link: http://www.stat.lsa.umich.edu/~yizwang/software/maxLinear/noteonR.html, and links listed there). Everything works like a charm in Linux. I

System: samba 2.0.4b on Solaris 2.x Starting point: PC's "Properties" window on a share of home directories; diskspace Used/Free "pie-chart" and figures. A colleague asked me yesterday whether this properties window could display the diskspace information, using the user's UNIX quota rather than the physical space on the disk. Our environment has potentially 14,000

Apologies for asking something that is probably super obvious, i just started with S4 classes and i guess i am not finding documentation that layout the grammar rules and give enough examples. Some questions i am having are these 1. I understand that main method of writing a member function is to write a generic function and setMethod for this particular object. This, however, presumes that there
