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

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

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

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, 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, 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, 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

Hi all, I have a bit of a newbie question here that I hope y'all can help with. I've run a cluster analysis using hclust on about 500 objects (using R1.3 under Win 2000). The problem is that the tips of the dendrogram are so close together on the plot that the labels overlap and are unreadable. I've used "cex" to reduce the label sizes but this isn't sufficient with so

Hello all, Since I got no answer to my first mail, I suspect I did not formulate my question adequately, so I try again. In R, one can debug or trace a function 'foo' with debug(foo) or trace(foo), respectively. This leads to a special treatment of the function 'foo' until one enter undebug(foo) or untrace(foo). I would like to know if there is a convenient way to know at any

Hi, Under Windows, I am exporting graphs from R (in metafile -emf- format), and want to combine them using a graphic package. It happens that the background of the graph is represented by a filled rectangle (with the color given by bg=...). This is to be expected. However, I find no options to disable this and produce a graph with transparent background. Does such an option exist? If not, then

Hi there, I've got this vector: -84 -87 -90 -90 -89 -86 NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA -96 -99 -100 -99 -96 -92 -89 -87 -87 -88 -90 -92 -94 -95 -96 -97 -97 -97 -96 -95 Is there a function in R which replaces the NAs with "interpolated" values between -86 and -96? Thanks, Sven
