Hello: Forgive me, this is surely a simple question but I can't figure it out, having consulted the help archives and "Data Manipulation With R" (Spector). I have a list of 11 data frames with one common variable in each (prov). I'd like to use lapply to go through and recode one particular level of that common variable. I can get the recode to work, but it only returns the

Hi: How do I select different variables from a list of data frames. I have a list of 13 that looks like below. Each data frame has more variables than I need. How do I go through the list and select the variables that I need. In the example below, I need to get the variables "a", and "q10" and "q14" to be returned to two separate data frames. Thank you. Yours, Simon

Hello all, I changed the subject line of the e-mail, because the question I''m posing now is different than the first one. I hope that this is proper etiquette. However, the original chain is included below. I've incorporated bits of both Ethan and Brian's code into the script below, but there's one aspect I can't get my head around. I'm totally new to programming

Hello, I'm trying to read in 50 text filess with dates as content to create a list of tables. a is the list of filenames that need to be read in. The following command returns the following error mylist<-lapply(a, read.table(header=TRUE, sep="\n")) Error in read.table(header = TRUE, sep = "\n") : element 1 is empty; the part of the args list of

Hello I tried to define replacement functions for the class "mylist". When I test them in an active R session, they work -- however, when I put them into a package, they don't. Why and how to fix? make_my_list <- function( x, y ) { return(structure(list(x, y, class="mylist"))) } mylist <- make_my_list(1:4, letters[3:7]) mylist mylist[['x']] <- 4:6

Hi there I'm trying to fit a logistic regression model to data that looks very similar to the data in the sample below. I don't understand why I'm getting this error; none of the data are proportional and the weights are numeric values. Should I be concerned about the warning about non-integer successes in my binomial glm? If I should be, how do I go about addressing it? I'm

Dear colleagues, I'm working with the 2008 Canada Election Studies (http://www.queensu.ca/cora/_files/_CES/CES2008.sav.zip), trying to construct a weighted national sample using the survey package. Three weights are included in the national survey (a household weight, a provincial weight and a national weight which is a product of the first two). In the following code I removed variables with

I can define a list containing NULL elements: > myList <- list("aaa",NULL,TRUE) > names(myList) <- c("first","second","third") > myList $first [1] "aaa" $second NULL $third [1] TRUE > length(myList) [1] 3 However, if I assign NULL to any of the list element then such element is deleted from the list: > myList$second <-

Hi, I'm pretty new to R. I have an object (say a list) and I I have a function that I call on various columns in that list (excuse terminology if it's wrong/ambiguous). Imagine its like this (actual values are unimportant) and called mylist: >mylist A B 1 5 2 5 3 6 4 8 5 0 I have a function: foo = function(param){ #modify list A or B values depending on

Hi, I'm have a list of integer vectors and I want to perform an outer() like operation on the list. As an example, take the following list: mylist <- list(1:5,3:9,8:12) A simple example of the kind of thing I want to do is to find the sum of the shared numbers between each vector to give a result like: result <- array(c(15,12,0,12,42,17,0,17,50), dim=c(3,3)) Two for() loops is the

Dear R users, Let's say I have a list with components being 'm' matrices (as exemplified in the "mylist" object below). Now, I'd like to subset this list based on an index vector, which will partition each matrix 'm' in 2 sub-matrices. My questions are: 1. Is there an elegant way to have the results shown in mylist2 for an arbitrary number of matrices in mylist?

Hi: I have two variables in a data frame that are the results of a wording experiment in a survey. I'd like to create a third variable that combines the two variables. Recode doesn't seem to work, because it just recodes the first variable into the third, then recodes the second variable into the third, overwriting the first recode. I can do this with a rather elaborate indexing process,

Hi I have a list : mylist <- list( a = NULL, b = 1, c = 2 ) > mylist[1] $a NULL > is.null(mylist[1]) [1] FALSE > is.null(mylist$a) [1] TRUE why? I need to use mylist[1]

I have this awkward problem with trellis (lattice). I am trying to generate some plots through loops but the .eps file is empty. When I generate them in a list and print them outside the loop all is fine. this is an example below:( nothing shows up in foo.eps, but all show up in foo1.eps) R vesion 2.0.1, lattice version 0.10-16, on a debian 2.6.8-1 kernel. X <- data.frame(x=rnorm(10000),

How do I parse an identifier of a list component, e.g. mylist$mycomponent or mylist[[1]] ? Parse does not do the job, e.g. parse(text="mylist$mycomponent") returns an expression with just one term, instead of "mylist", "$", "mycomponent". What I need is a way to extract the list name (e.g. "mylist"), given an identifier of a component.

I've been doing some consulting with students who seem to come to R from SAS. They are usually pre-occupied with do loops and it is tough to persuade them to trust R lists rather than keeping 100s of named matrices floating around. Often it happens that there is a list with lots of matrices or data frames in it and we need to "stack those together". I thought it would be a simple

Dear List, Let's say I have a list whose components are 2 matrices (as exemplified in the "mylist" object below). I'd like to create a list with components being 4 matrices based on an logical index vector. is there a way to simplify what I'm doing to obtain the results in "mylist2"? I'd like something that would work on an arbitrary number of elements in

Sorry My previous report is not detailed. In R, you will get this: > mylist <- list() > mylist[[1]] Error in mylist[[1]] : subscript out of bounds > mylist[[1]] <- c(1) Error: (list) object cannot be coerced to vector type 14 > mylist[[1]] <- c(1,2) > mylist[[1]] <- c(1) > mylist [[1]] [1] 1 I was trying to assigning c(1) to (mylist[[1]] <- c(1)) -- it seems

Excuse me for what I'm sure is a stupid beginner's question, but I've given up trying to find the answer to this question from the help, RSiteSearch, or any of the usual places. I have a list that looks like this: >myList $first [1] "--" "18" "8" "32" $second [1] "--" "--" "40" "54" I want a

Hi, Try > is.null(mylist[[1]]) [1] TRUE Notice the double square brackets. From: ?`[` "The most important distinction between [, [[ and $ is that the [ can select more than one element whereas the other two select a single element."
