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

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, 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

to allocate 7.8 MB to a vector? (on R running on MacOS 8.6 with a 100MB partition) I get this error from a function which is trying to create a 1000x1000 matrix: Error: cannot allocate vector of size 7812 Kb the error occurs here: dist <- as.single((t(pos)-pos)/n) where pos is a matrix of integers, and n is the size of the first dimension. It appears to first create a double with

Hi, I'm new to R, and trying to map stuff I knew how to do in Matlab to R. For instances, in matlab, sum(x) gave the column sums of matrix(/vector) x. In R it just gives the sum of all the elements, regardless of their form (vector or matrix). Is there a simple way to return a vector of column sums for a matrix? Also, in Matlab binary operators exist for concatenating a matrix onto the end or

I would like to plot two different scatterplots in the same frame (say with different colors) but everytime plot is called a new frame is created.

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

Hi, My plots are all coming out sideways! If I do the following: > postscript("plot1.ps",horizontal=TRUE,paper="letter") > plot(ns,meanpl/maxvec) > dev.off(2) The output file has "ns" on the left and the "meanpl/maxvec" on the top! It doesn't matter if I change the horizontal flag to FALSE. I have noticed, however that If I create my own

Hi, I am trying to write a recursive routine which passes some variables through the function calls but also refers to some global variables. I need the global variables because they are very big (n by n matrices where n is <= 1000) and I don't have the huge amount of memory needed to spawn dozens of copies of these matrices. The problem seems to be that while variables in the root

Hello colleagues, I am a novice with R and am stuck with an analysis I am trying to conduct. Any suggestions or feedback would be very much appreciated. I am analyzing a data set of psi (ESP) ganzfeld trials. The response variable is binary (correct/incorrect), with a 25% base rate. I've looked around the documentation and other online resources and cannot find how I can correct for

I recently installed samba 1.9.18p8. Since then, we get the following error: "No domain server was available to validate your password. You may not be able to gain access to some network resources." after the server has been running for >48 hours. If I stop and restart the server, everything is ok again. Our samba server is a Sun Ultra 2170 running Solaris 2.5.1. Any help will

Hello colleagues, This is a follow up to a question I posed in November regarding an analysis I was working on. Thank you to Dr. Brian Ripley and Dr. John Fox for helping me out during that time.

I was wondering whether the following inconsistency of the promax rotation function with the results of a promax rotation using SAS should be considered a bug in the promax function of R. Any comments will be highly appreciated. The following is a loading matrix obtained from a varimax rotation in SAS: # Factor loadings after varimax rotation x <- t(array(c(0.78107, 0.35573,
