Hi, Is there a simple command to pause a script until the user hits return? Alternatively, is there a command which prompts the user for some input and assigns the input into a variable? dave +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ |David Richmond It works on a | + Dept. of Sociology complex scientific + |Saint Mary's College

Hi, I'm looking for a function which returns the name of the argument object as a string: >vect <- 1:3 >function(vect) "vect" I've looked at 'name', 'names', 'objects', none seem to do exactly what I want. ls/objects comes close, but I can't figure out how to force it to give me only one object name. daver

Hello, I have problems running the R.matlab package. I work with R 2.3.1, under windows (using the Rgui). It seems that, even after loading the package, the "simple" functions such as writeMat() or readMat() are not recognized. For example, the following script leads to an error: > install.packages("R.matlab") --- Please select a CRAN mirror for use in this session ---

Hi, Is there a function func(x) where x is an array such that it returns a list of the indices of all non-zero elements of the array? for example: a: 1 0 0 0 0 1 0 1 0 func(a) returns two vectors r and c: r c 1 1 2 3 3 2 daver +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ |David Richmond It works on a | + Dept. of Sociology complex scientific

Hi there, I was wondering whether there are flexible packages available with which you can create user interfaces? (I've read about "gWidgets"!?) For example in Matlab you can even create stand alone applications. Is it also possible for R in the same extend? Of course it should be platform independent if possible... And then I would like to know from people who know R as well

I am switching from Matlab to R, but I found that R is 200 times slower than matlab. Since I am newbie to R, I must be missing some important programming tips. Please help me out on this. Here is the function: ## make the full pair-wise permutation of a vector ## input_fc=c(1,2,3); ## output_fc=( 1 1 1 2 2 2 3 3 3 1 2 3 1 2 3 1 2 3 ); grw_permute = function(input_fc){ fc_vector = input_fc

i am having some problems with a program that i am writing and i think that knowing how the while command works will help me to figure out where i am going wrong *when do you get kicked out of a while loop?* (i.e., in the following example what would the final value of 'a' be?) i thought it would be 99 but running it in R i get 101 (and 101 for x too!) while (x <100) { for (i in

Hi all, I've become quite enamored of R lately, and have decided to try to teach some of its basics (reading in data, manipulation and classical stats analyses) to my fellow grad students at the University of Toronto. I sent out a mass email and have already received some positive responses. One student, however, wanted to know what differentiates the routines that R uses, from those

Hi, suppose I do: b <- matrix(1:9,3,3) bname <- "b" now dim(b) returns [1] 3 3 and dim(bname) returns NULL is there a function to pass bname to such that dim returns the dimensions of b? like dim(somefunc(bname)) returns [1] 3 3 does 'somefunc' exist? daver +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ |David Richmond It

I need to find the area under a trapezoid for a research-related project. I was able to find the area under the trapezoid in MATLAB using the code: function [int] = myquadrature(f,a,b) % user-defined quadrature function % integrate data f from x=a to x=b assuming f is equally spaced over the interval % use type % determine number of data points npts = prod(size(f)); nint = npts -1; %number of

Why anything but sweep? The fundamental data type in Matlab is a matrix... they don't have vectors, they have Nx1 matrices and 1xM matrices. Vectors don't have any concept of "row" vs. "column". Straight division is always elementwise with recycling as needed, and matrices are really vectors in row-major order: 1 2 3 4 5 6 is really 1 4 2 5 3 6 and when you do

Hi, what is the recommended way to vertically concatenate 2 data frames with the same column names but different number of rows? My problem is something along these lines: df1 <- data.frame(var1=var1,var2=var2,var3=var3) # nrow(df1)=1000 df2 <- data.frame(var1=var4,var2=var5,var3=var6) # nrow(df2)=2000 I tried df <- c(df1,df2), no success. stack does not seem to be appropriate

Dear R-Experts, here again a question concerning matlab. With the command "matrixM=[1 2 3;4 5 6]" a matrix under Matlab was constructed. It was than stored with the command "save('matrixM.txt','matrixM')". Now I tried to import the data in R with the help of the command "Z=matrix(scan("Z:/Software/R-Programme/matrixM.txt"))" An error

Hi, In order to avoid deep copies by passing large arguments to functions or returning values, I'm trying to do the assignment of variables in a given environment. The problem is when I try to assign a structure: a list for example. If I have: ind <- c("a","b") my idea is doing something like l <- alist() l[ind] <- as.list(c(20,40)) in a given

Is there any way to read these files (standard .mat files, created by matlab version 7 onwards are compressed)? I know that R.matlab doesn't read them (it even says in the file MatlabServer.m "Matlab v7 saves compressed files, which is not recognized by R.matlab's readMat()" (lines 47-8)). I know I should be able to make R call Matlab and transfer data (not that I managed to
