similar to: problem in installing reshape2 (urgent)

Hi everyone, I’m trying to install reshape2. But when I click on “install package” it’s not coming up!?!?! I’m getting reshape, but no reshape2? I’ve also tried download.packages(reshape2, destdir="c:\\") & download.packages(Reshape2, destdir="c:\\")…but no luck!!! Does anyone have any ideas what could be going on?

I realize it's -12C and we're having the next best thing to a blizzard but why can I not melt this data frame. I am missing something terribly obvious but I just don't understand what the error message is saying.

I seem to be running into the same problem reported in https://stat.ethz.ch/pipermail/r-help/2010-November/258265.html I cannot seem to transform a dataset from long to wide using reshape2. Clearly I am missing something very simple but a look at the manual and the reshape paper in JSS does not suggest anything. Any advice would be welcome ===========================load

This does not use reshape/reshape2, but it is pretty straightforward. Assuming X is your example data: > Y <- split(X[, 2], X[, 1]) > vals <- sapply(Y, length) > pad <- max(vals) - vals > Y2 <- lapply(seq_along(Y), function(x) c(Y[[x]], rep(NA, pad[x]))) > names(Y2) <- names(Y) > X2 <- do.call(cbind, Y2) > X2[, 1:6] 1957 1958 1959

Hi, I'd like to get mean values for the margins of my casted data.frame. For the casting I am using dcast() from reshape2. However, when I set the margins parameter (margins=c("grand\_row")) I get following error concerning an unrecognized escape character '\_'. So what is the correct command to get the outermost margins only in reshape2? /johannes [[alternative HTML

Hi! I updated to reshape2 yesterday and tried to make it work. Unfortunately, it mainly throws error messages at me (good thing it's reshape2 1.0 and not reshape 2.0). The most recent is: Error in match.fun(FUN) : object 'id' not found When I manually create an object 'id', it says: Error in get(as.character(FUN), mode = "function", envir = envir) : object

Hi again all, Several replied ASAP that I also needed reshape loaded and not just reshape2. Hmmm tried that and I had some output but not the correct format. What I need is to run simulations of time overlap between species as per the simulation program data input constraints: The basis for the simulations is a species by _time-use matrix in which species are arranged in rows, and time

Running 2.15.0 on Slackware-13.1 with all packages in /usr/lib/R/library. Package reshape2 is in the library but there are no vignettes seen by R. If this is the result of something I did incorrectly, please point out how to install the vignettes with the package. I can get help for melt and cast but no reference on how to access the vignettes. Pointer appreciated, Rich

I use R on my Ubuntu 9.04 laptop, which was installed by "aptitude install" way Now i'm learning a book of R which needs "MASS" and "DAAG" installed. So i followed the instructions: >install.packages("MASS") >library("MASS") MASS works fine. But DAAG doesn't. Anyone who could help would be appreciated a lot ! Below are my error

The reason it doesn't work easily with reshape/reshape2 is that the order of the rows is not determined. Your answer could be 1957 1958 ... 1985 1986 0.8625000 0.7500000 ... 0.7307692 0.23750000 0.0733945 0.6435644 ... NA 0.05769231 0.5096154 NA ... NA 0.65137615 or 1957 1958 ... 1985 1986 0.0733945 0.6435644 ... NA

Hi again all, As the original code lines I had dated back to 2007 that may have predated reshape2? In any case the use of *dcast *rather than /*cast*/ solved the issue. Then with 3 steps: Stop read Think I saw I just needed to change the line input.cast <- cast(input.melt, Species ~ *Date*, fun.aggregate = sum) to input.cast <- cast(input.melt, Species ~ *Time*, fun.aggregate = sum)

I get the following message when using the reshape2 package line > tDat.m<- melt(Dataset) Using Item, Subject as id variables > tDatCast<- acast(tDat.m,Subject~Item) Aggregation function missing: defaulting to length Note Problem Statement- convert dataframe Subject Item Score 1 Subject 1 Item 1 1 2 Subject 1 Item 2 0 3 Subject 1 Item 3 1 4 Subject 2 Item 1 1 5

Hi Tom, Or perhaps: #assume the data frame is named "tadf" library(prettyR) stretch_df(tadf,1,2) Jim On Thu, Jul 6, 2017 at 6:50 AM, Ista Zahn <istazahn at gmail.com> wrote: > The reason it doesn't work easily with reshape/reshape2 is that the > order of the rows is not determined.

I've successfully reformatted data frames from long to wide with reshape2, but this time I'm getting errors that I want to understand and resolve. Here's the data frame structure and the results of the melt() and dcast() functions: str(waterchem) 'data.frame': 128412 obs. of 8 variables: $ site : Factor w/ 64 levels "D-1","D-2","D-3",..: 1 1
