Dear list, I will shortly have some data that contains numeric dates in the Persian / Jalali calendar format, which I would like to convert to gregorian. At the moment there doesn't seem to be a function for this in R, but it would be great if someone could come up with same - I would attempt it but the algorithm is very complex and this is also way beyond my fairly rudimentary knowledge of

Estimados Hace un tiempo que no uso rvest, corrí un código viejo, anda sin problemas, escribo el nuevo y hay algo que me olvide. Básicamente desde el navegador de internet selecciono el xpath, copio y pego este en R, pero me sale el siguiente error. > text <- Pagina.R %>% + html_nodes(xpath='//*[@id="content"]/p')%>% + html_text() >

Hola buenos días: Os remito una duda (en un documento word para su mejor expresión) sobre el uso de la libreria rvest. Mi problema es que como no soy informatico me pierdo un poco, he visto los ejemplos que hay colgados y los he seguido, pero el tema es que quiero acceder a los datos del INE, que en ocasiones estan un poco escondidos con menu de selecciones y no se como hacerlo con rvest para

Después del "gather()" puedes hacer un "arrange()" que es una ordenación. Y dentro de "arrange()" le indicas la variable por la que ordenas (no hacen falta comillas)... Lo ordenará alfabéticamente.

Hi R Help list I'm looking to visualise US foreign aid 1946-2009 and I have the dataset for this. The trouble is it's a bit too complex and I need to simply it I want to merge all of the rows with the same country together and add up the individual totals to make one total figure per country per year Below is an example of the kind of data. The real dataset has 2447 rows and covers 63

I'm trying to read a comma delimited dataset that uses '.' for NA. I found that if the last field on a line was a missing '.' it was not read as NA, but just a '.', and the life variable was made a factor.

You don't say, but I'd guess you're using Windows. In your code page, the character ? is probably not representable. At some point in the sequence of operations involved in printing the dataframe R puts the string into the native encoding, and since that's impossible on your system, it substitutes the <c5> instead. The fact that you can sometimes display it is because

Hello, everyone! I'd like to find out how I can do first log differences in a panel? (The Penn World Table data that's available in the PWT package) The regular diff() function ignores the country/index/"panel unit", with depressing results. A second request, how can I best "filter" the data (e.g. generate a data frame with the data for a single country or a single
