similar to: How is this done with REST (blinksale account)?

I''m using the simple account_location plugin to have virtual subdomains on my app (account.myapp.com - see Basecamp, Blinksale, etc.) How do you go about setting up your OS X system to play nice? I''d like to use Apache & Mongrel. Notes: The only thing I''ve able to accomplish is hardcoding the subdomains directly in my hosts file. I can get

Hi all, Quick question for STI. With the following setup: class Company < AR::Base; end class Firm < Company; end Why does Firm.find(:all) return all Companies, not just those that have type==''Firm''? -- Alex

I have a dataframe with many firm-year observations and many variables. Not all firms have information for all the years. I want another dataframe with only those firms that have information all years. This is, I want a balanced panel data, but with the maximum number of years. In my reprocucible example I want to keep firms 1,2 and 3 (period 2000 to 2004). I need your help to create a

Hi, I was writing an integration test for my user signup form (with capybara), and found that my test was failing due to a validation error: "email is already taken". I''m a bit confused because I thought when I run "rspec spec/some_spec.rb", the test database would be wiped clear? Is that not the case? Patrick J. Collins http://collinatorstudios.com

Hi, all! Anyone know an easy way to specify the following model. Panel dataset, with stock through time, by firm. I want to run a model of y on a bunch of explanatory variables, and one dummy for each firm, which is 1 for observations that come from firm i, and 0 everywhere else. I have over 200 firms (and a factor variable that contains a firm identifier). Any easy way of going about

Hi everyone! Thank you for the help you have been given to me, and here I'm with another problem with my dataframes: I have two dataframes (with much more observations), like these: Dataframe1 Firm Year cash 500400200 2007 100 500400200 2006 200 500400200 2005 400 500400300 2007 300 500400300 2006 240 500400300 2005 120 500400400

I have an elementary programming question. Could someone please point me in the right direction? I have a function which will run for thousands of companies. At each invocation, it returns 2 numbers. I plan to do something like: think_one_firm <- function(filename) { # Do stuff return(list(x=x,y=y)) } So for each of the firms in my dataset, I will call

Hey everyone I have (in a nutshell) two models: Customer and Order. Customer has_many Orders and Order belongs_to Customer. The Order model contains fields such as name, address and phone that mirror the associated Customer''s fields at the time the order was placed. The reason for this is that if the customer changes their details then the order contains the details that were current

Dear R-user, a few weeks ago I consulted the list-serve with a similar question. However, my task changed a little but sufficiently to get lost again. So I would appreciate any help on the following issue. I use the plm package and work with firm-level data in a panel. I would like to eliminate all firms that do not fulfill the requirement of having an observation in every variable used for at

Folks, I am holding a dataset where firms are observed for a fixed (and small) set of years. The data is in "long" format - one record for one firm for one point in time. A state variable is observed (a factor). I wish to make a markov transition matrix about the time-series evolution of that state variable. The code below does this. But it's hardcoded to the specific years that I

Hello, Is there any way to test model inheritance in spec? something like.. it { ChildModel.should < ParentModel } thanks.

Folks, I have a situation with many firms, observed for many years (but it's not panel data, so every now and then data for a firm just goes missing). Let me show you an example. There are 3 firms "a", "b" and "c". There are 3 years: 1981, 1982 and 1983. There's a factor f which takes values 1, 2 or 3. set.seed(5) D = data.frame( names=c("a",

Hi, I have recently use the strucchange package in R with a single time series observation. I found it extremely useful in the testing of change points. Now, I am thinking of using the strucchange package with panel data (about 500 firms, with 73 monthly time series observations each). For each firm, I have to conduct the Fstats and breakpoints tests. Based on the test of each firm, I have to
