I want to use contourLines() to get contour line coordinate vectors, but I don't want to make a plot. However contourLines() insists on opening a graphics device.

dev.print() seems to get confused when the graphics window is resized as in the following: > plot(1,1) > dev.print() X11 2 > #--- resize graphics device window with mouse--- > dev.print() Error in dev.print() : Object "hp" not found Vital statistics: R : Copyright 2000, The R Development Core Team Version 1.1.1 (August 15, 2000) Linux Red

I have several data input functions that include a construct like the following: indat <- function(stuff) { [...] awkp <- paste("awk ...yada yada...", stuff, etc.) scan(pipe(awkp),quiet=TRUE) } I use these functions a lot, and as I do, a lengthening list of closed, but undestroyed, connections accumulates. Ultimately this appears to stuff things up and cause

Picking up an ancient thread (from Oct 2007), I have a somewhat more complex problem than given in Simon Wood's example below. My full model has more than two smooths as well as factor variables as in this simplified example: b <- gam(y~fv1+s(x1)+s(x2)+s(x3)) Judging from Simon's example, my guess is to fit reduced models to get components of deviance as follows: b1 <-

I want a list of the number of times some factor levels appear together, similar to the following SQL statement: SELECT A, B, COUNT(C) FROM TBL GROUP BY A, B How do I do that with a data.frame in R?

Hi everyone, I'm having trouble figuring out how to split a dataframe more than once. Let's say I have a dataframe d with a certain column called splitcol composed of four possible ordinal values. The same dataframe has two other columns, col1 and col2, that have one of two possible values each. I'd like to split d$splitcol based on col1 and col2 so I can report frequencies of the

My apologies for asking what is doubtless a dumb question, but I have scant experience in R. It would be very convenient in doing lots of plots to be able to do them in a loop that stepped through a vector of variable names. For example one could say x<-("mydates") y<-c("foo1","foo2","foo3") #where "foon" were vectors

R-users -- I would like to make a single vector out of something like the following: y0 <- rep(0,100) y1 <- rep(1,20) and stack them one on top of the other to a vector y with length 120.

All - Each time through a loop I create a new dataset, which I would like to append to a list object. Each item of the list should be the data matrix created in that step of the loop; I would like the NAME (or tag) of that list item to be assigned the value of a character string: I've tried something like this: running.list <- numeric(0) for(i in 1:num.files){ ..... running.list

Hi, Suppose I use the following codes to read in a data set. ############################################### > rating <- scan("../Data/Rating.csv", + what = list( + usage = "", + mileage = 0, + sex = "", + excess = "", + ncd = "", +

Hi all, Suppose I have a vector Fruits <- c('Apple','Orange','Pear','Banana','Mango') I want to print the statement "The fruits in the basket are: Apple, Orange, Pear, Banana, Mango" If I do: print(paste('The fruits in the basket are:',Fruits)) The output is: [1] "The fruits in the basket are: Apple" "The fruits in

Greetings R Users! I have a data set of count responses for which I have made repeated observations on the experimental units (stream reaches) over two air photo dates, hence the mixed effect. I have been using Dr. Jim Lindsey's GLMM function found in his "repeated" measures package with the "poisson" family. My problem though is that I don't think the poisson

Hello, what does this error message indicate and how do I avoid this? (sample code below) Thank you. -Tosh #read in the data table co<-read.table("co.txt",header=T,as.is=T) for (i in 1:3){ paste("logco",i, sep="")<-log(co$co[co$day==i]) } Gives the error: Error: Target of assignment expands to non-language object

Hi all. I have a re-occuring typical problem that I don't know how to solve efficiently. The situation is the following: I have a number of data-sets (A,B,C,...) , consisting of an identifier (e.g. 11,12,13,...,20) and a measurement (e.g. in the range 100-120). I want to compile a large table, with all availabe identifiers in all data-sets in the rows, and a column for every

Hi how is it possible to use more than one command when i'm didn't want use R CMD BATCH for specific reason? $ echo "(x<-1:10)" | R --vanilla works $ echo "(x<-1:10 ;y<-20:30 ;lm(y ~ x))" | R --vanilla works not. Is it further possible using bash variables like $i from a loop in the bash echo call i.e. dm$x$i$k <-

Hi, I have a big data file (over 30,000 records) looks like this: 100, 20, 46, 70 103, 0, 22, 45 117, -1, 34, 65 120, 15, 0, 25 113, 0, -1, 32 142, -1, -1, 55 ..... I want to read only those records having positive values in all of the four columns. That is, I don't want to read record # 3, 5, and 6 into R. However, when I type: read.csv("data.csv", sep=",")

I have a file in fwf. It is rather large, about 40,000 rows and 40 variables (columns). I only need about 10 variables form the data set for the analysis at hand. Unfortunately, these 10 variables are not contiguous in the file, for example, the first is position 1-8, the next position 25-27, then 40. Is there a way to read the selected varaibles that I need without reading in the entire data

Hi, I understand work is being done to improve read.table(), especially by Prof. Brian D. Ripley. I offer below a version that I wrote, in the hope some aspects of it may prove useful or at least inspire discussion. Be aware that my version differs in a couple fundamental ways that reflect my aversion to dataframes and factors. So it returns a list of vectors which are all character,

Hello I have data in many files in a directory, how can I loop through the files in a given dir in-order-to build a data.frame? thanks
