I sent a post to find a clever way to compute a Rolling Average of columns in a matrix and I was given the solution below which I am very pleased with. RollingAverage <- function(x, RollingObs) { cx <- cumsum(x); N <- length(x); Temp <- (cx[RollingObs:N] - c(0, cx[1:(N-RollingObs)]))/RollingObs Output <- array(NA, N) Output[RollingObs:N] <- Temp; Output } The only

A new package "g.data" is available on CRAN, to create and maintain databases that work more like the S-Plus model. Here's the official Description for g.data (v1.2): Create and maintain delayed-data packages (DDP's). Data stored in a DDP are available on demand, but do not take up memory until requested. You attach a DDP with g.data.attach(), then read from it and assign

R gurus, On Aug 20, 2002, I asked in R-help about calculating a running 5-day median on a large matrix. Thanks to Martin Maechler <maechler@stat.math.ethz.ch> and Ray Brownrigg <Ray.Brownrigg@mcs.vuw.ac.nz> for responding. I ended up writing C code (and an R interface) to do it, which is about 1000x faster than the naive method! (72s became .09s on a 223 x 520 matrix). I added a

I guess this is more r-devel than r-help. Note, I am just the messenger - I have no idea what the user is trying to model here. arima() crashes R (segfault) with Linux R-2.7.0, Solaris R-2.6.0: *** caught segfault *** address 42400000, cause 'memory not mapped' Traceback: 1: .Call(R_getQ0, phi, theta) 2: makeARIMA(trarma[[1]], trarma[[2]], Delta, kappa) 3: arima(x, c(1, 0, 1), c(1,

R-0.99.0a now plots contour labels from contour(), but the values in levels seem to be coerced to integer.

Digital Alpha (various), Digital UNIX V4.0[EF], R-1.0.0, gcc, f77 When using batch mode with the save option, an error message is issued. However [I have just discovered that] it appears that the operation does complete, i.e. the .RData file is saved successfully. The main problem is that the return code is non-zero (and so it is impossible to distinguish this "non-error" from some

I sent this to R-devel early last month, but have received no response, so I guess it really is a bug. This looks like a bug to me, and is a bit hard to describe, but easy to reproduce. ? Basically, if RNGkind is saved as something other than the default, and if the first operation in a session is a set.seed(), the default is reverted to. ?Reproduce by: cafe-rozo> ?R --vanilla R version

Hi, In the FAQ for Mac http://cran.r-project.org/bin/macosx/RMacOSX-FAQ.html there is 7.2 Saving the image You can can (???) the content of the quartz device window into a PDF file. This is not explained! This is a very simple way to export high quality graphics from R into other applications on Mac OS X graphics is PDF based (so are almost all applications available). However, this process

I've noticed that I get a warning message every time a package masks some functions from Hmisc. The warning message says : Warning message: In identical(get(., i), get(., lib.pos)) : ignoring non-pairlist attributes This happens with eg: library(plyr) library(xtable) I think I've seen this passing by before, but I'm not sure any more. Just thought I'd mention it. Cheers Joris

Hi list, I have a real problem with plotting US state map. When I try to plot the northern state, there will be some blank space in the top of graph (see case 1 example), and when I plot southern states, there will be a blank space in the bottom of plot (see case 2). I spent almost 2 days to figure out a solution, but could not. Would you help me if you know what the problem is? Regards, Alireza

I successfully used .Fortran to load and execute my fortran procedures under WinXP and 32 bit R. Alas, the same isn't true with my next Windows 7/64 machine, R 2.14.1 (64 bit) and the gnu gfortran (64) compiler (mingw64 v. 4.6.1). Though I'm able to compile the routines from the command line using gfortran '...', .Fortran('foo2') results in an error saying the Fortran

I have been using delay() quite successfully to 'load on reference' some large data files (earthquake catalogues). One minor difficulty I have not been able to overcome is that upon first reference, the data set is loaded into memory as expected, but also remains as a permanent object in the user's environment, instead of appearing to be only in the library from which it was loaded.

I haven't been able to get anywhere tracking this down. It seems that c.noquote() does something strange with its third (and subsequent) parameters: R-2.7.0 under NetBSD, R-2.6.0 under Solaris, and R-2.8.0 (unstable) (2008-06-10 r45893) under WinXP, I get: > c(noquote('z'), 'y', 'x', '*') [1] z y x * x * > or: > c(noquote('z'),

Is this a bug? Certainly it was not expected. dump() seems to prefer a global definition over a local one. R 1.6.1 on Solaris 8 or NetBSD: > ls() character(0) > dump("D", "D.q") # a global D() exists > system("cat D.q") "D" <- function (expr, name) .Internal(D(expr, name)) > D <- function(x) print(x) # now create a local one > ls()

Anybody interested in the S maps library for R? I have ported a limited version of the software for a Unix platform, and would be happy to make it available for anybody interested. If there is a lot of interest then I will submit it to CRAN. I know that Ross Ihaka is working on a new version for R, which does not have some of the limitations of the original S version. My version does not do
