Hi, I have the following code from Splus that I'd like to migrate to R. So far, the only problem is the arima.filt function. This function allows me to filter an existing time-series through a previously estimated arima model, and obtain the residuals for further use. Here's the Splus code: # x is the estimation time series, new.infl is a timeseries that contains new information # a.mle

Is there a method with the current tcltk library in R to call back an R function within the .Tcl("...") interpreter? I can't find anything documented, and I don't understand the usefulness of the .Tcl.callback() function. Browsing through the tcltk source code I found two functions R_eval and R_call that seem to take input from the .Tcl interpreter and parse them through the R

I had an open session working in R and I regularly save the image with save.image(). However, after a period of inactivity of a few days. I quit the session. Now, when I try to restart R and load the same image I get the following result: > load("y:/grm/sdata/.rdata1") Error in load("y:/grm/sdata/.rdata1") : an xdr real data read error occured Can someone explain the cause

Ok, Here's the c code that's loaded into R as dll on windows: #include <R.h> #include <Rdefines.h> SEXP test1(SEXP col); SEXP test1(SEXP col) { SEXP col2; Rprintf("no value!\n"); return col2; } Compiles ok with bcc32 into a dll, loads into R as part of a library, I Run library(rkdb), then > .Call("test1", 2) no value! And puf! Rterm crashes.

Hi, I often have large dataframes with many variables and many NA's, from which I would like to subset out some rows. Here is a toy example: > x <- data.frame(a = c("x", "y", "z"), b = c(1, NA, 5)) > x a b 1 x 1 2 y NA 3 z 5 I realize that, if I know the values in x$b that I want to subset, things are easy: > x[x$b %in% c(1),] a b 1 x 1

The help page for library says that: package, help: name or character string giving the name of a package. Yet, I don't seem to be able to use a string variable here. > version _ platform sparc-sun-solaris2.6 arch sparc os solaris2.6 system sparc, solaris2.6 status major 1

The help for options says: echo: logical. Only used in non-interactive mode, when it controls whether input is echoed. Command-line options `--quiet' and `--slave' set this initially to `FALSE'. I don't think that this is correct for me. Consider the following session: mica|junk> ls test.R mica|junk> cat test.R cat("Why was this command

Thanks to Luke Tierney, Agustin Lobo, Stephen Eglen, A.J. Rossini, Simon Wood and Timothy H. Keitt for responding to my question about poor man's parallel processing. Much of the substantive material was cc'ed to r-help already, but my take is as follows. 1) Currently, there is nothing "simple" for solving my problem. 2) I thought that Timothy Keitt's description of the use

Hi, In 1.4.1, I was able to create extra "empty" rows in a dataframe as so: > x <- data.frame(a = letters[1:3], b = 1:3) > x a b 1 a 1 2 b 2 3 c 3 > x[4,] a b NA NA NA > rbind(x, x[4,]) a b 1 a 1 2 b 2 3 c 3 NA NA NA > R.version _ platform sparc-sun-solaris2.6 arch sparc os solaris2.6

I am seeing some strange behavior using save on a character vector containing a slash. If this is a bug, I will happily submit it (as a single entry! ;-) ) to r-bugs.

The inconsistency is that you use $<- to set the column, then [[<- to change it. Had you tried to set the column by x[[1]] <- as.character(x[[1]]) you would have seen the problem immediately (it does not work as you would have intended). If you want to be sure to turn off conversion to factor, you need to set the column to class "AsIs". My belief is that will behave

Although the documentation is somewhat sketchy, I() can be used to create objects of class AsIs: > I("a") [1] "a" attr(,"class") [1] "AsIs" "character" > I(4) [1] 4 attr(,"class") [1] "AsIs" "numeric" > I(4 + 0i) [1] 4+0i attr(,"class") [1] "AsIs" "complex" > This

Has the likely release date for R 1.4.1 been set? Apologies if there is some obvious place on the web site that I could have looked this up at. We are eager to upgrade to 1.4, but some of the bugs matter to us. We have played around with the patched code, but have mainly succeeded in demonstrating that we need to learn more about UNIX code development . . . Thanks to all for a most excellent

I am having problems using merge with all = TRUE when one of the dataframes has objects of class POSIXct. If this is a bug, let me know and I will report it to r-bugs. Here is an example: > version _ platform sparc-sun-solaris2.6 arch sparc os solaris2.6 system sparc, solaris2.6 status major 1

I have just spent a day trying to determine why I seemed to be unable to read a file of microarray expression results into R properly. The file was produced by the Dchip software developed by Li and Wong at Harvard's Department of Biostatistics. It contains rows of tab-delimited fields in the order Probe set identifier Probe set description Array 1 expression Array 1 call Array 2 expression

There is a bug in all.equal.character: > all.equal.character(c("A", "B", "C"), c("A", "B", "C")) [1] TRUE > all.equal.character(c("A", "B", "C"), c("A", "B", NA)) Error in sum(out) : Object "out" not found > traceback() 3: sum(out) 2: paste("`is.NA' value

If the following two conditions are met: 1) all.x is TRUE 2) at least 1 row in y does not have a match in x then any character vectors in y will be coerced to be factors. Here is a simple example (previously provided on r-devel): > x <- data.frame(a = 1:4) > y <- data.frame(b = LETTERS[1:3]) > y$b <- as.character(y$b) > z <- merge(x, y, by = 0, all.x = TRUE) > z
