Dear all,   I have the following written example > coords <- "51°30'48.58\"N" > > as.integer(strsplit(coords, "°")[[1]][1]) [1] 51 > as.integer(strsplit(strsplit(coords, "°")[[1]][2], "'")[[1]][1]) [1] 30 > as.numeric(strsplit(strsplit(strsplit(coords, "°")[[1]][2], "'")[[1]][2],

Does anyone have information about using the National Practitioner Data Bank (NPDB) in R? It's public use data available from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services that can be downloaded as a .dat or .por file. I can't even figure out how to open the file in R.

Hello there, would you please look into my codes? Here I have following: > set.seed(100) > samp <- sample(c(1,-1,0), 20, replace=T); samp [1] 1 1 -1 1 -1 -1 0 -1 -1 1 -1 0 1 -1 0 0 1 -1 -1 0 Here I want to calculate the length of each unique number for above vector. How can I do that? Thanks in advance [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Folks: I thought the following excerpt from Bruce McCullough's post would be a good candidate for the R fortunes package -- except that it's about Excel, not R! So I nominate it... but leave it to others to say whether it's really "qualified" to be nominated. ---- "The idea that the Excel solver "has a good reputation for being fast and accurate" does not

I have a matrix where one column has a date and another column has a time. I need to delete all times before 6am. I had combined the Date and Time column into DateTime. Mat1: Weight Date Time 7.6 04/28/11 09:03 8.4 04/29/11 03:11 8.6 04/29/11 05:32 8.6 04/29/11 09:53 1.4 05/01/11 19:52 I tried just picking up the time: as.POSIXct(Mat1$Time, format = "%H:%M") but

Hi all, I have a list of numbers, e.g., X = c(60593.23, 71631.17, 75320.1), and want to round them so the output is Y = c(60000, 80000, 80000). I tried Y<-round(X,-4), but it gives me Y = c(60000, 70000, 80000). Do anybody know how to round up a number to 10^4? Thank you in advance. Wendy -- View this message in context:

Hello everyone I have a dataframe with 4 colums (year, month, day, runoff) for 1993-2009. Now I like to calculate the average runoff for each day. Finally I like to plot the median runoff for all this years. I tried with some loops, but it didn't work. Do you have any Tips for my problem? Any help is greatly appreciated! Thank you very much.

Hi, I need to do some analysis on historic daily radiosonde data I download from the Wyoming Univ. web page ( http://weather.uwyo.edu/upperair/sounding.html). I am trying to use the RadioSonde package (V 1.3), but the format of the files from Wyoming don't match what RadioSonde is expecting. Has anyone used the Radiosonde package on the Wyoming data? Here is a sample of the Wyoming file

Hello I have a huge file (not an R-file) in which the first column is a string with date, hour, minutes and seconds (For instance, "31-Jul-2010 23:59:00"). I tried as.Date but the error msg was "Error in charToDate(x) : character string is not in a standard unambiguous format". I have checked the help for the function as well as date but to no avail. How can that sort

A data set I obtained has the hours running from 01 through 24 rather than the conventional 00 through 23. My favorite, strptime, balks at hour 24. I thought it would be easy to correct but it must be too late on Friday for my brain and caffeine isn't helping.

Dear R Experts: I am trying to convert a date and time character field to timeDate where the month is presented as three letters, such as "JUN" for June, etc. This is an example of the full character field: "04-MAY-11 1428" What is the proper format syntax? I've tried timeDate("04-MAY-11 1428",format="%d-%m-%y %H%M") but only get GMT [1]

Dear All, I have a query : what is the command to count number of repeated words in a column. for ex: a = oranges oranges apples apples grape oranges apple pine the result should be oranges 3 apples 3 grape 1 pine 1 is there an easy way for this.

Hello, I'm currently trying to find a method to interpolate or smooth data that represent a trajectory in space. For example, I have an ordered (=time) set of (x,y) tuples which constitute a path in a 2D space. Is there a way using R to interpolate between these points in a way similar to spline interpolation so that I get a smooth path in space? Greetings, Dieter -- Dieter Vanderelst

Hi All: We are developing (actually updating) a piece of code that runs in R. Due to some limitations of some the libraries we use, at the present time we would be limited to the 32-bit version of R on Windows. Does anyone have a feel (or even real knowledge) if most people these days run R on Windows in 32-bit or 64-bit mode? This would affect some development decisions. Thanks -Roy M.

Do you know of any references that verify the accuracy of R for basic statistical calculations and tests. The results of these studies should indicate that R results are the same as the results of other statistical packages to a certain number of decimal places on some benchmark calculations.

The US water year extends from 01 October yyyy-1 through 30 September yyyy and is referenced by the year starting on the included 01 January yyyy. I'd like to be able to find the annual means for the water year. To do so I've taken the input date-time, which is in the usual format "1991-10-07 10:35:00" changed it by: w$d<-as.POSIXct(w$date.time) Now I can add an

Can anyone tell me how to remove several numbers for a sequence.

Greetings all, I'm porting an algorithm from MATLAB to R, and noticed some minor discrepancies in small decimal values using rowSums and colSums which are exacerbated after heavy iteration and log space transformation. This was rather perplexing as both programs claimed and appeared to use the IEEE 754 standard for floating point arithmetic (confirmed with manual basic operations).
