I''m using Sequel as my ORM and Test::Unit as my testing framework and have the following model: class Item < Sequel::Model validates do presence_of( :name, :uuid, :vendor_id, :vendor_reference, :amount, :currency_code ) uniqueness_of( :uuid ) end def initialize( *args ) super( *args ) self.uuid = UUID.random_create.to_s end end As you can see I overwrite

Hello, I am wondering if this is preferred at this iteration in development. If so, what would be the best way to continue? To build a VM server and have that do file serving, then migrate file serving from the old ad, then join the new VM to the ad server? Vice versa? My reasoning; running sernet (Version 4.0.12-SerNet-Ubuntu-8.precise) with Ubuntu 12.0.2 and since deployment in three different

converting a POSIX class variable to a date class is easy. dates<-as.Date(x) #where X is of class POSIX How does one do that to all columns in a data frame that are of POSIX class and leave all the other columns (integers, factors) as is. Feel free to reply with just one or two buzzwords that I could then search for to find how to do it. Farrel Buchinsky

I want R to read my Microsoft Access database or maybe even a Sybase database. I installed RODBC or at least thought I did. Then I issued the following command: library(RODBC) And got Error in lazyLoadDBfetch(key, datafile, compressed, envhook) : ReadItem: unknown type 241 In addition: Warning message: package 'RODBC' was built under R version 2.3.0 Error: package/namespace

I would really appreciate it if anyone could determine what is going on with the following command. It is only half-working and is losing lots of data. For the life of me I cannot even see the pattern of what it is losing and what it is not. I am attaching the R data set which you can use with the Load Workspace menu function.

I read a table from Microsoft Access using RODBC. Some of the variables had a name with a space in it. R has no problem with it but I do. I cannot find out how to specify the space names(alltime) [1] "ID" "LVL7" "Ref Pv No" "Ref Pv Name" "DOS" "Pt Last Name" "Pt First Name" "MRN"

When one has raw data it is easy to create a table of one variable against another and then calculate proportions For example a.nice.table<-table(a,b) prop.table(a.nice.table,1) However, I looked at several papers and created a data frame of the aggregate data. That means I acually created a table except it is a data frame. The first column lists the name of the first author and the year. I

I saw a thread from September 24 in which Duncan Temple Lang told us: - The package currently has no Rd files, but there is a brief "user's guide". The package is available from http://www.omegahat.org/RGoogleDocs I could not find it by using Tinn-R or RGui's package install tool. Then when I went to the website I saw that package is only available as

Why will the following command not work sapply(objects(),dim) What does it say about the objects list? What does it say about the dim command? Likewise, the following also does not work all<-ls() for (f in all) print(dim(f)) -- Farrel Buchinsky [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Both of these applications fulfill a great need of mine: to read data directly from google spreadsheets that are private to myself and one or two collaborators. Thanks to the authors. I had been using RGoogleDocs for the about 6 months (maybe more) but have had to stop using it in the past month since for some reason that I do not understand it no longer reads google spreadsheets. I loved it. Its

I have a bunch of tables in a Microsoft Access database. An updated database is sent to me every week containing a new table. I know that is inefficient and weird but welcome to my life. I want to read the tables whose names are something such as "040207" but not the ones that have alphanumeric names such as "everyone". Using RODBC I am easily able to create a character vector

I suspect the problem stems from the fact that there are a couple of NA values. > sunflowerplot(lastoto,maxear) Error in rep.int(i.multi, number[number > 1]) : invalid number of copies in rep.int() So I used the subset command to get rid of the cases with NA hell<-subset(ChinOtoMayB,is.na(lastoto)==FALSE) Then it worked perfectly sunflowerplot(hell$lastoto,hell$maxear) Is

I have upgraded everything lately and can no longer get the Tinn-R explorer to work. I think I have had this problem before but cannot recall how I solved it.I run Tinn-R 2.0.0.7 and Rgui version 2.7.2 When I click on the explorer button I get > trObjList(envir='.GlobalEnv', pattern='', group='', path=.trPaths[3]) Error in trObjList(envir = ".GlobalEnv",

The author of the package, Duncan Temple Lang posted an update. I have installed it and now can list my spreadsheets but alas I cannot read the data within any of them. Has anybody been able to get it to work. I would love to see a real live example of sheetAsMatrix I am not sure how to specify sheet and con = sheet@connection. I have tried many ways but just get: Error in !includeEmpty : invalid

I installed the newest version of R and once again ran into problem with Tinn-R failing when trying to use the R explorer. I had this problem once before and solved it when I added the following .trPaths = c( 'C:/Documents and Settings/fbuchins/Application Data/Tinn-R/tmp/', 'C:/Documents and Settings/fbuchins/Application Data/Tinn-R/tmp/search.txt', 'C:/Documents and

A while back Gabor Grothendieck suggested that I try http://news.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lang.r.general. This was after I asked how to easily reply to posts on the listserve. Ideally I would like the functionality that I find in Microsoft Outlook Express newsreader for usenet groups or what I find in Google Groups. I started using gmane about 3 weeks ago. I find it fantastic for searching and for

How does one convert to a date format when survey respondents have used two different date formats whilst entering their data. There were clearly told to use mm/dd/yyyy but humans being humans some entered mm/dd/yy. There was even validity checks on the forms but I allowed them to be overridden since the data is more holy than the format. The data was downloaded as a csv and read.csv was used to

How does one create a vector whose contents is the list of variables in a dataframe pertaining to a particular pattern? This is so simple but I cannot find a straightforward answer. I want to be able to pass the contents of that list to a "for" loop. So let us assume that one has a dataframe whose name is Data. And let us assume one had the height of a group of people measured at

Is there an easy way to read the value of the cells rather than the formula?So for instance in a cell whose value was created by simply using the value from the cell immediately to the left in the Google spreadsheet I would prefer to get the value rather than =RC[-1] When one exports with Google Spreadsheets as a csv then that does not happen. I am using the following line of code in R

Power calculations two sample test for proportions is very useful. Is there a way however, to get away from the two samples being of the same size. What would happen if one had n=15 in the one sample and n=45 in the other sample.
