similar to: replacing NA values in an expression

Dear people, 1) I have a data frame with named columns.For concreteness, let us say that I created a data frame from the vectors fee, fi fo, fum by giant.df <- cbind(fee, fi, fo, fum) Now, some of the entries in fee, fi fo fum are NAs. I want to remove any row which contains a NA, thus creating a new, smaller data frame, with the same column names. This seems like something people would need

Dear R people, The header practically says it all. I was wanting to include r code in a Latex file. Since R code using{ and }, which are interpreted by Latex as control characters, I would expect it to get upset. I believe that \{ would probably print as {, but I hoping I don't have to go through the code and add lots of \. I would rather use some global commannd, along the lines of

Dear People, Consider the following fragment of R code choose <- function(n,r) { if( is.integer(n) && is.integer(r) && n > 0 && r >= 0 ) { .C("choose",as.double(n),as.double(r),comb = double(1))$comb } else stop("n must be a positive integer and r a non-negative integer.") } This is a practice function (n choose r), which I

Hi, Is there a way to check whether a file is empty in R. I did the customary searches, but did not find anything. Please cc me on any reply. Thanks, Faheem.

Dear People, In a qqplot I am doing, I get lines/points that are very thick. I've tried setting the lwd variable to 0.1, but it doesn't seem to have any effect. Also, I have set the value of lty to dashed, but I still get dots. The command looks like qqplot(cdf.inv(seq(0,1,length=size),theta,pos,len),empmargdistvec(len,theta,pos,size), xlim=c(-theta,theta), ylim=c(-theta,theta),

Hi, Consider the following > x = c(1,2) > y = c(3,4) > d = data.frame(cbind(x,y)) > d$x [1] 1 2 > d$"x" [1] 1 2 > > foo = function(val) + { + return(d$val) + } > > bar = function() + { + return(d$"x") + } > > foo("x") NULL > bar() [1] 1 2 I'm a little surprised that R accepts both the form d$x and d$"x", but

Dear People, I am trying to include a barplot (see code below), in a latex document. However, the plot appears in totally the wrong position. I know this is not an R question as such, but the eps file is produced by R and I thought that perhaps other people had had similar problems and could give me pointers. Am I doing anything obviously wrong? Sincerely, Faheem Mitha. PS.

Dear People, I have been trying to perform concatenation operations on lists without success. Consider the following example. > x <- runif(2) > y <- runif(2) > z <- runif(2) > xy <- list(x,y) > xyz <- list(x,y,z) I want to have a function foo such that foo(xy,z) is the same as xyz. This appears not to be as easy as I thought, though there must be a way. For example

Dear People, After considerable effort, I managed to install gcc-3.0 on my Debian system. However, Debian keeps gcc-2.95 around as the default compiler, and gcc, g++ point to the 2.95 version. The 3.0 versions need to be explicitly invoked as gcc-3.0, g++-3.0 etc. How can I get R CMD SHLIB to invoke gcc-3.0 instead of gcc and g++-3.0 instead of g++? I would like this to be done by default but

I have the following question, which is elementary but I am unable to answer. In a for(i=10) loop, I am trying to represent the 10 1-dimensional vectors l1, l2,... l10 by some expression that will run through these values. ie. soppose I want to add l1 + ... + l10 I could go x <- 0 for(i in 1:10){ x <- x+ l(i)} This should return x to be the sum of the 10 li's for i from 1 to 10

Dear R people, I have the following simple bit of code to make a plot. I want to suppress tick marks on the axes of the plot. I've been trying everything I can think of to do so, but have been unsuccessful. Can you help me? If you reply, please cc me, I'm not currently subscribed to the list. Thanks in advance. Sincerely, Faheem Mitha. num <- 1:i inc

Dear People, I need to make a label which both contains math notation as well as substitutes a value for an object. In the following label, len and theta are one dim variables, and I am substituting their values appropriately. This label looks fine except that I want the greek symbol for theta to appear instead of the word `theta'. How can I do so most easily? I don't understand the

Dear rsync people, I have just started using rsync for backups. I have had a couple of issues. Note I'm trying to use rsync as user using ssh between two machines both running Debian GNU/Linux potato (2.2r3). The local machine is currently running 2.4.6-1 and the remote 2.3.2-1.2. 1) When I run rsync with the vv option, stuff scrolls of my screen faster than I can read it. I was wondering if

Hi, I'm getting an error from http://stat.ethz.ch/R-manual/ linked from http://www.r-project.org/ as follows ************************************************************************** Forbidden You don't have permission to access /R-manual/ on this server. Additionally, a 403 Forbidden error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

Dear R People, I getting some curious behaviour with the integrate function. Consider the function foo <- function(x) { if(x==0) 4 else 0 } I get the error > integrate(foo,0,1) Error in integrate(foo, 0, 1) : evaluation of function gave a result of wrong length But now consider foo <- function(x) { ifelse(x==0,4,0) } > integrate(foo,0,1) 0 with absolute error

Dear R People, I want to include a barplot corresponding to a simple discrete probability distribution in a LaTeX document. I decided to use the pictex driver. After a certain amount of messing about, I came up the stuff below. It does not look too bad, however, there is one very obvious piece of weirdness, ie. the y axis terminates at 0.1 and does not extend down further. I tried to adjust this

Dear People, Over the last few days I've been writing C++ to compile as a shared library (previously I have always used C). Not entirely to my surprise, I am getting errors. Specifically, when I try to load the shared library, I get Error in dyn.load(x, as.logical(local), as.logical(now)) : unable to load shared library "/home/faheem/research/thesis/sim/ms/ms.so":

Hi, As far as I can tell, The R function unix.time calculates elapsed CPU time. Is there a command within R to measure actual elapsed time (I think this is sometimes referred to as wall time)? For example, the time command from GNU time calculates the actual elapsed time, as far as I can tell. (Please CC me, I'm not subscribed.)
