similar to: Paasing values to sqlQuery like SAS macro

I am trying to replicate the SAS proc univariate in R. I got most of the stats I needed for a by grouping in a data frame using: all1 <- ddply(all,"ACT_NAME", summarise, mean=mean(COUNTS), sd=sd(COUNTS), q25=quantile(COUNTS,.25),median=quantile(COUNTS,.50), q75=quantile(COUNTS,.75), q90=quantile(COUNTS,.90), q95=quantile(COUNTS,.95), q99=quantile(COUNTS,.99) )

Hello, I was wandering if it is possible to perform on a dataframe called 'all' a shapiro wilk normality test for COUNTS by variable Group ACTIVITY? Could it be done using plyer? I saw an eg that applies to an array but not to a dataframe: lapply(split(dataset1$Height,dataset1$Group),shapiro.test) Any thoughts would be much appreciated. My dataframe is in shape: dat ACTIVIT

Hello, I have a column called max_date in my data frame and I only want to keep the bigger values for the same activity. How can I do that? data frame: activity max_dt A 2013-03-05 B 2013-03-28 A 2013-03-28 C 2013-03-28 B 2013-03-01 Thank you for your help -- View this message in context:

Hello, I have a variable in a data frame that contains NA values. I just want to subset so that I get the obs where that variable is missing. In SAS I would do: data missing; set test; if myvalue=' '; run; How can I perform this simple task in R? Thanks in advance for your help. -- View this message in context:

Hello, I am trying to re-code all my programs from SAS into R.

Hello, I have a dataframe w/ 3 variables of interest: transaction,date(tdate) & time(event_tim). How could I create a 4th variable (last_trans) that would flag the last transaction of the day for each day?

Hello all, I have a question: I am using the interquantile method to spot outliers & it gives me values of say 234 & -120 or for the higher & lower benchmarks. I don't have any issues w/ the higher end. However I don't have any negative values. My lowest possible value is 0. Should I consider 0 as an outlier? Thanks ahead for your thoughts -- View this message in

I've been having some issues with sqlSave, and I think I've found an clue that may identify the problem. In the code at http://pastebin.com/W6UGKep9, I connect to a Netezza instance, make a simple table, and query it. Despite sqlSave succeeding without error, sqlQuery tells me that the table doesn't exist. Also, when I query the database outside of R, I see that the table doesn't

Hi R users. sorry for missing example and if question is to general but I am wondering if it is possible to execute subqueries in function sqlQuery (package RODBC) with opened connection with Excel or SQL server 2000. I couldn't find any example of this. And if it is possible what should be a correct syntax for this query: SELECT ct,COUNT(*) as n FROM (SELECT COUNT(*) AS ct FROM children

Dear List, I have a problem with RODBC on a Paradox-DB, sqlQuery, and special characters in table names. Unfortunately, some of the latter include the underscore <_>. And I am not able to change them. That's not a problem, when I quote the table name: > sqlQuery(channel2, 'SELECT * FROM "anmeldung-alt"') Btw, if I swap ' and " it does not work: >

Hi everyone, I am using the sqlQuery function (in RODBC library) to import data from a database into R.
