similar to: write.table and large datasets

Hi R-users, I want to convert a large dataset (from stata format) to an ascii table. The resulting table should be a human-readable table (like CSV, or tab-separated file or something similar). R reads the stata-file quite easily (with some problems which are discussed here earlier), but so long I have not found a suitable way to write it in ascii format. Sure, there exists write.table, which

Hi, I have made a tiny package for saving dataframes in ASCII format. The package contains functions save.table() and save.delim(), the first mimics (not completely) write.table() and the second uses just different default values, suitable for read.delim(). The reason I have written the functions is that I have had problems with saving large dataframes in ASCII form. write.table() essentially

Hi, I have not get much response for my question about read.table for couple of days ago. As I said, the problem is that read.delim() do not want to read more than 51 lines of data, with longer file it reads the first column as row names, although I have not noticed any special binary symbols around line 51 either. This problem seems to happen with this particular file, I could easily read in a

Dear everybody, I have a following problem. I have a 3D array lambda <- array( dim=c(N,M,M-1)) where I have to extract the elements as follows: lambda[ 1, state[1], 1] lambda[ 1, state[1], 2] ... lambda[ 1, state[1], M-1] lambda[ 2, state[2], 1] ... lambda[ 2, state[2], M-1] ... lambda[ N, state[N], M-1] i.e. the result should be a 2D array, where the second index follows the first one

Dear all, I have strange problems with paste. Actually I suggest it is a bug (I send a associated bug report for some days ago too). I have a vector ce0, a character vector m and I paste them together: > ce0 [1] "1985" "9" "2" "2" "1" "A" "1" "" "NA" "5" [11]

Hello, When using write.table I am getting two variables pasted together (not by choice). Has anyone else had this happen? Specifically, I have the following: d _ read.dta(paste('/montecarlo/forecast/off/',F,'.dta',sep='')) write.table(d,file=paste('/montecarlo/forecast/off/csv/',F,'.csv',sep=''), row.names=FALSE, col.names=FALSE,

Do I mess up something or is this a bug?

Hi, I am trying to study R internal behaviour. So long, I have not succeeded to access the value of R strings from C. I use: void salvesta_tabel( SEXP data_frame, SEXP file ) { printf( "nimi %d\n", (R_CHAR)( file)); } and from the R side: salvesta.tabel <- function (x, file = "") { .Call( "salvesta_tabel", x, file) } When calling

Dear All, we (Ott Toomet and I) would like to add functions for maximum likelihood (ML) estimations of generalized tobit models of type 2 and type 5 (*see below) in my R package for microeconomic analysis "micEcon". So far we have called these functions "tobit2( )" and "tobit5( )". Are these classifications well known? How are these functions called in other

Dear R Users: The functions of our "micEcon" package [1,2] can be subdivided into three categories: - microeconomic demand and firm models - sample selection models (mainly selection()) - routines for (likelihood) maximisation (e.g. maxLik(), maxNR(), maxBHHH()) (mainly used for ML estimation of sample selection models) Although sample selection models are often used in

I would write in tab-text file a table like this one: TAB colname1 TAB colname2 TAB TAB... colnameN rowname1 # # # rowname2 # # # rownameM # # # then I wrote something like: mymatrix <- matrix(nrow=M,ncol=N,byrow=T) rownames(mymatrix) <- chvector1 colnames(mymatrix) <- chvector2

Dear R-gurus, I would like to use a lapply on a kind of "bivariate" problem. I have a vector and a list, components of which are vectors, e.g. vec <- c(1,2,3) lst <- list(1, c(2,3), c(4,5,6)) I want to apply a function to each component of the list, using the corresponding component of the vector as a parameter. E.g. I want a list in the form list(lst[[1]] + vec[1], lst[[2]]

Sorry, should have given more background. x11 works fine on all my systems when called by x11(). I'm the maintainer of a package that uses the animation library, which has performance issues when used with the RStudio plot device. But if you call plot.new() when using RStudio, you get an RStudio device, not the standard device for the platform because it overrides the device option.

Dear R-people, are there any way to change the size of legend in barplot? I have tried various versions of cex, both as par(cex.*= ) and barplot(..., cex.*= ). So long without success.
