similar to: Ubuntu lucid dependency issue

Hello, I am on the latest Ubuntu 10.04 and I am upgrading R. I get the following error: r-base-core-dbg: Depends: r-base-dev (=2.11.1-2lucid0) but 2.11.1-1lucid0 is to be installed If that helps my CRAN mirror is: http://stat.ethz.ch/CRAN/bin/linux/ubuntu lucid/ I did check on the archives for any email concerning the problem, I hope I am not duplicating a thread. Best, F -- Federico

Hi All, I have a list of matrices: > x [,1] [,2] [1,] 1 4 [2,] 2 5 [3,] 3 6 > y [,1] [,2] [,3] [,4] [,5] [,6] [1,] 18 21 24 27 30 33 [2,] 19 22 25 28 31 34 [3,] 20 23 26 29 32 35 > z =list(x,y) I want to create a second list that is has a subset each matrix in the list subsetting so I get the 2nd and 3rd row of each (and

Hi All, a colleague wants to calculate the Fisher information matrix for a model he wrote (not in R). He can easily get the neg-log-likelihood and the best fit parameters at the minimum. He can also get negLLs for other parameter values too. Given these data, is there a way in R to calculate the Fisher information matrix? Best, Federico -- Federico C. F.

Hi All, I have the following problem: x = c(1,2) x [1] 1 2 as.matrix(x) [,1] [1,] 1 [2,] 2 BUT, if I add: y = c(3,4) as.matrix(rbind(x,y)) [,1] [,2] x 1 2 y 3 4 It does not transpose. Since I will need as.matrix() for a list of data that is in one or more lines, I need as.matrix to behave in a consisten fashions, so I get as.matrix(x, whatever) [,1] [,2] x 1

Hi All, is there an equivalent of the Unix command 'less' (or 'more'), so I can look at what's inside a data.frame or a matrix without having it printed out on console?

Hi All, I am using plot(x, type = 'l') for some plotting, but I would like rounded edges rather than jagged edges in the plot (purely for aestetic reasons). How could I achieve that?

Hi All, I am (almost) successfully using apply() to apply a function recursively on a data matrix. The function is question is as.genotype() from the library 'genetics' apply(subset(chr1, names$breed == 'lab'),2,as.genotype,sep ="") Unfortuantely apply puts it's results into a matrix object rather than a data frame, tranforming my factors into numerics and

Hi All, is there a function in R that allows me to work with fractions without transforming them to floats (or whatever) in between? Something that would calculate something like: (1/2 + 1/8) * 1/2 = 5/16 without ever transforming to 0.5 and 0.125? Best, Federico -- Federico C. F.

Dear All, I saved by mistake the environment I was working in after typing q(), and now I get the annoying message: [Previously saved workspace restored] I have already deleted all the objects in the environment, saving it as an empty environment, so it's just a matter of nitpicking I suppose. The message does not appear if I start R from any other place in the directory tree. I am

Hi everyone, I would like to find out when and where exactly I get the following warning in a piece of code I've written: Error in "[<-"(`*tmp*`, iseq, value = numeric(0)) : nothing to replace with The code is a for () loop performing a somewhat trivial calculation, modulated by a number of logical if(){} else(){} conditions, involving the creation of a number of

Hi You could try to find an equivalent representation as a string and try to match those. > (A <- cbind(sample(1:2, 10, rep=TRUE), sample(1:2, 10, rep=TRUE))) [,1] [,2] [1,] 1 2 [2,] 1 2 [3,] 1 2 [4,] 2 2 [5,] 1 1 [6,] 1 2 [7,] 1 2 [8,] 1 1 [9,] 1 2 [10,] 1 1 > (B <- unique(A)) [,1] [,2] [1,] 1 2

Hi All, I cannot upgrade r-base and r-recommended because the latest (latest as in it was not listed as 'upgradable' yesterday but today is) r-base-cose is 2.7.1-2hardy0 not hardy1: r-base: Depends: r-base-core (>=2.7.2-1hardy1) but 2.7.1-2hardy0 is to be installed Depends: r-recommended (=2.7.2-1hardy1) but 2.7.1-2hardy0 is to be installed r-base-core: r-recommended:

Dear All, I am trying to calculate the Hardy-Weinberg Equilibrium p-value for 42 SNPs. I am using the function HWE.exact from the package "genetics". In order not to do a lot of coding "by hand", I have a for loop that goes through each column (each column is one SNP) and gives me the p.value for HWE.exact. Unfortunately some SNP have reached fixation and HWE.exact requires a

Hi All, I have a vector of data, a vector of bin breakpoints and I want to put my data in the bins and then extract fanciful informations like the mean value of each bin. I know I can write my own function, but I would have thought that R should have somewhere a function that took as arguments something like (data, breaks, what to do with the data in the bins). I surey could not find it

Hi All, I am looking for references on R as a programming language (apart form the standard R-lang.pdf and the other manuals), reference that would cover _in_depth_ things like loops, code optimisation, debugging tools etc... and is as up-to-date as possible. Can anyone suggest any book or other reference apart from the "green book" and the V&R "S-programming"? Cheers,

Hi everyone, I am confused on how to specify some nesting and interaction terma with lme(). I have a dataset where some flies where selected for accessory gland size, made to mate in presence/absence of another male and the level of some protein measured. Now the complex stuff. The selection has been replicated twice, so that the selection term has got two levels (large and small) with

Hi All, I would like to ask the following. I have an array of data in an objetct, let's say X. I need to use a for loop on the elements of one or more columns of X and I am having a debate with a colleague about the best memory management. I believe that if I do: col1 = X[,1] col2 = X[,2] ... colx = X[,x] and then for(i in whatever){ do something using col1[i], col2[i] ... colx[i] }

Hi All, is there any chance of vectorising the two ifelse() statements in the following code: for(i in gp){ new[i,1] = ifelse(srow[i]>0, new[srow[i],zippo[i]], sample(1:100, 1, prob =Y1, rep = T)) new[i,2] = ifelse(drow[i]>0, new[drow[i]>0,zappo[i]], sample(1:100, 1, prob =Y1, rep = T)) } Where I am forced to check if the value of drow and srow are >0 for each line... in

Hi All, just a quick (?) question while I wait my code runs... I'm comparing the identity of the lines of a dataframe, doing all possible pairwise comparisons. In doing so I use identical(), but that's by the way. I'm doing a (not so) quick and dirty check, and subsetting the data as data[row.numb,] and data[a different row,] I suspect the problem there is that I load into

Hi All, I need to write as text files 1000 ish variation of the same data frame, once I permute a row. I would like to use the function write.table() to write the files, and use a loop to do it: for (i in 1:1000){ bb8[2,] = sample(bb8[2,]) write.table(bb8, quote = F, sep = '\t', row.names = F, col.names = F, file = 'whatever?????.txt') } so all the files are called
