similar to: Finding the closest match?

Hi, I have to match names where names can be recorded with errors or additions. Now I am searching for a string search function which returns always the "closest" match. E.g. searching for "Washington" it should return only Washington but not Washington, D.C. But it also could be that the list contains only "Hamburg" but the record I am searching for is

If anyone has a very fast vectorized method for doing the following I would appreciate some help. I want to avoid outer() to limit memory problems for very large n. Let x = real vector of length n y = real vector of length n w = real vector of length m, m typically less than n/2 but can be > n z = real vector of length m For w[i], i=1,,,m, find the value of x that is closest to w[i]. In

Hello, What would be in R the closest match to a c-struct? e.g. data.frame requires all elements to be of the same length ... or is there a way to circumvent this? TIA, Best regards, Giovanni

I''m working on a simple photo gallery in rails, it seems to be a good project for a newbie. I have photos and categories, many-to-many association. It worked well with HABTM. Then I decided that it would be good to be able to change order of the photos so that thumbnail pages would look less chaotic. So I created a Layout model which is a join model (or whatever it is called) that

Hi I have a table with ID (1 to 183) and Location (144 to -22). My problem is that I want to select the 10 ID's that are closest in Location to ID 1, ID 2 and so on. Also, some ID have the same Location. Say, if 11 ID's are closest to ID 100 I want to randomly choose one of the ID's to select 10 ID's total. Thank you -- View this message in context:

I have a long list of numbers [3.4,5.4,3.67,....], and I basically want to find the index of the number closest to this number that I have, let's say 5.43. How would I do this without writing a for loop (I have to do this many times for several lists)? Is there a "lookup" function in R? Thanks! -- View this message in context:

Hi, Do CentOS 7 installs not automatically use a closest mirror for installing like Fedora does, or is that due to the way I'm starting the install (virt-install)? Background: I'm trying to find the best way to do installs using basic local media (network install, but *without* the need to download the squashfs.img for every install) but without a full local mirror. On Fedora (25), it

Dear R-users, i have a simple problem maybe, but i don't see the solution. i want to find the entry-wise closest element of an vector compared with another. ind1<-c(1,4,10) ind2<-c(3,5,11) for (i in length(ind2):1) { print(which.min(abs(ind1-ind2[i]))) } for ind2[3] it should be ind1[3] 10, for ind2[2] it should be ind1[2] 4 and for ind2[1] it should be ind1[1] 1. but with the

Art (and group), I'm doing this as a form of missing value analysis. Approximately 30% of the cases are missing data for one variable. To impute values for those cases, I'd like to match those cases that are missing the variable to all other cases and then take an average of those to infill. I realize there are many methods for imputing data. I'm not well versed on any in

Hello!

I'v got working Samba ADS servers, but "net ads info" shows most of them are associated with Win2K3 domain controllers that are in different sites than the ones the Samba servers are in (we have a large WAN with DCs in every site). I'm not configuring "password server" as I want Samba to be more fault tolerant than pointing it at one DC - when there are many to choose

I've only begun investigating R as a substitute for SPSS. I have a need to identify for each CASE the closest (or most similar) 5 other CASES (not including itself as it is automatically the closest). I have a fairly large matrix (50000 cases by 50 vars). In SPSS, I can use Correlate > Distances to generate a matrix of similarity, but only on a small sample. The entire matrix can not

Dear All, would you please provide your thoughts on the following: let us say I have: a <-c(1,5,8,15,32,69) b <-c(8.5,33) and I would like to extract from "a" the two values that are closest to the values in "b", where the length of this vectors may change but b will allways be shorter than "a". So at the end based on this example I should have the result

I have an application that creates quite a few threads. I keep getting the "mysql too many connections" error. ActiveRecord does not close the connection once a thread had died out. To make things worse mysql has a wait_timeout variable that would basically kill off these connections for me, but there is a bug and I can not change the value of it. I have tried at least 10 different
