Folks, An RUnit test suite is failing after all tests are complete with the following message: Error in parse(n = -1, file = file) : unexpected '}' at 620: 621: } All individual tests work when run individually, and all but one run within the RUnit test suite. What might be causing this? A similar error message during package creation was discussed earlier

Folks, In brief -- how many of you have found the 'operators' package to be valuable in their work? Not that I lack respect for the amount of work involved in creating and maintaining a package, but I am unsure about the utility of these new operators. Several of the operators appear to offer different ways of accomplishing tasks that are already relatively easy in base R -- regular

Folks, I've been running into an odd situation that occurs when I use length() function with aggregate(), but not with either one separately. Together, the results looks correct but is given an unexpected name. 'if (stringsAsFactors) factor(x) else x' instead of just 'x'. # Numbers work ok tt <- data.frame(idx=c(1,1,1,1,1,1,2,2,2,2,2,2)

Folks, I'm checking the structure of a dataframe for duplicate parameters at a site station (i.e depth should be measured once, not twice), using aggregate to count each parameter within a site station. The fake data below has only 26000 rows, and takes roughly 14 seconds. My real data has 750000 rows and I had to stop execution after about an hour. The by() function is faster, but I

First, the reproducable example, showing how converting from character to POSIXct to character changes the milliseconds in the first time stamp though not in the second: > as.POSIXct('2010-06-03 9:03:58.324') [1] "2010-06-03 09:03:58.323 PDT" > as.POSIXct('2010-06-03 9:03:58.325') [1] "2010-06-03 09:03:58.325 PDT" This seems to be due to truncation of

Folks, I've run into trouble while writing functions that I hope will create and modify a dataframe or two. To that end I've written a toy function that simply sets a couple of variables (well, tries but fails). Searching the archives, Thomas Lumley recently explained the <<- operator, showing that it was necessary for x and y to exist prior to the function call, but I haven't

Folks, A small group of us are working together to develop a set of R functions to support data management and analysis using Eclipse/StatET in a Windows environment. We are using Git/EGit for version control. We work within our own repository and occasionally push to a common remote location. I'd like to have the code source files from the 'local' git repository without

Folks, Updating values in a table is simple in SAS or SQL, but I've wracked my brain looking for an elegant solution in R to no avail thus far. Certainly this is a common need that's been solved in dozens of different ways. Given an initial dataframe nn and a smaller dataframe of updates uu, I'd like to replace the values in nn <- expand.grid('a'=1:4, 'b'=1:3)

I know R has a steep learning curve, but from where I stand the slope looks like a sheer cliff. I'm pawing through the available docs and have come across examples which come close to what I want but are proving difficult for me to modify for my use. Calculating simple group means is fairly straight forward: data(PlantGrowth) attach(PlantGrowth) stack(mean(unstack(PlantGrowth)))

Some might have noticed that REvolution Computing released the doSMP package to the general public about a month and a half ago, which allows multiple cores to be accessed for parallel computation in R. Some of our physical habitat calculations were taking an extraordinary amount of time to complete and required over-weekend runs, which prompted our interest in this package. What follows

I am interested in finding an R version of SAS "Proc Varclus". SAS's Proc Varclus implements an oblique cluster analysis based on principal components. How can I find out if R has a package that runs the same algorithm implemented in SAS "Proc Varclus"? Thank you, Mary Helen Black __________________________ Mary Helen Black, M.S.

Hi, I'll apreciate your guidance on how can I re-create the output from SAS PROC VARCLUS in R. I've found the varclus function in Hmisc. However, is it possible to use that function to compute for each variable the 1-R**2 ratio (this is the ratio of 1 minus the R-squared with Own Cluster to one minus the R-squared in the Next Closest cluster)? Thanks in advance for any help, Lars.

Dear R users: is there a package, similar to varclus in SAS or varclus in S, ported or written for R? Also, is there any other package in R that was designed for grouping the variables under different measures of distance (in cases where data is non-Gaussian, autocorrelated, and so on).

Hi All, I'd like to build a package for the community that replicates the output produced by SAS "proc varclus". According to the SAS documentation, the first few steps are: 1. Find the first two principal components. 2. Perform an orthoblique rotation (quartimax rotation) on eigenvectors. 3. Assign each variable to the rotated component with which it has the higher squared

Hello, I would like to perform a Partial least square discriminate analysis (PLSDA) in R. To do this I use the package mixOmics. I could perform the PLSDA in R. however I would also like to perform a leave-one-out cross validation in order to assess the performance of my model. My supervisor told me that I should focus on the R2/Q2 ratios. However when I read the instruction for running the

Many of you are using Sweave for making statistical reports. I thought it might be helpful to some to see an example of the setup I use (in Linux). For those of you who have not yet discovered the power and productivity gains from using Fritz Leisch's wonderful package, I encourage you to give Sweave a try. %File: model.nw %Usage: % Put library(Hmisc;Design;tools} in .First % Sweave model

Hi All Please see the Rprofile file which i have modified as follows and after that when I start R then I see that R says to me "TRUE" for all the packages implying that all loaded at once. But when i try to use commands as simple as help("lm"), it doesnt work nor any of the menu "Packages" is not working. Although the regression using lm ( Y ~ X ) is working

Hi folks, Using R Version 1.6.2 (2003-01-10) on SuSE Linux 7.2, I just installed Hmisc_1.5-3.tar.gz and Design_1.1-5.tar.gz These were taken from http://hesweb1.med.virginia.edu/biostat/s/library/r Checked the dependencies: Hmisc: grid, lattice, mva, acepack -- all already installed Design: Hmisc, survival -- survival already installed, so installed Hmisc first All seems to go
