Dear all What is the easy way to drop a variable by using its name (and not its number)? Example: > data(iris) > head(iris) Sepal.Length Sepal.Width Petal.Length Petal.Width Species 1 5.1 3.5 1.4 0.2 setosa 2 4.9 3.0 1.4 0.2 setosa 3 4.7 3.2 1.3 0.2 setosa 4 4.6 3.1

Hi there: I have a question about generating mean value of a data.frame. Take iris data for example, if I have a data.frame looking like the following: --------------------- Sepal.Length Sepal.Width Petal.Length Petal.Width Species 1 5.1 3.5 1.4 0.2 setosa 2 4.9 3.0 1.4 0.2

Hi, [I sent this to the plyr mailing list (late) last night, but it seems to be lost in the moderation queue, so here's a shot to the broadeR community] Apologies in advance for being more verbose than necessary, but I'm not even sure how to ask this question in the context of plyr, so ... here goes. As meaningless as this might be to do with the `iris` data, the spirit of it is what

I've just tried to merge 2 data sets thinking they would only keep the common columns, but noticed the column count was not adding up. I've then replicated a simple example and got the same thing happening. q1. why doesn't 'b' have a column name? q2. when I merge, why does the new column 'y' have all values as 5.1? Thanks in advance, Mr. confused > a <-

Greetings R experts, I'm having some difficulty recovering lda objects that I've saved within sublists using the save.image() function. I am running a script that exports a variety of different information as a list, included within that list is an lda object. I then take that list and create a list of that with all the different replications I've run. Unfortunately I've been

Dear R-help, First I apologize if my question is quite simple. I need add some of data in the first place my dataset, how can I do that. I have tried with rbind, but I did not succes. 0.1 3.6 0.4 0.9 rose 4.1 4.0 1.2 1.2 rose 4.4 3.2 1.9 0.5 rose 4.6 1.1 1.1 0.2 rose For example,

Hopefully I will not be flamed for this on the list, but I am starting out with R and having some trouble with combining plots. I am playing with the famous iris dataset (checking out example dataset in R while reading through Introduction to datamining) What I would like to do is create three graphs (combined boxplots) besides each other for each of the three species (Setosa, Versicolour and

Dear all It is difficult to use round(..., digits=2) on a data frame since one has to first take care to remove non-numeric variables such as 'character' or 'factor': > head(round(iris, 2)) Error in Math.data.frame(list(Sepal.Length = c(5.1, 4.9, 4.7, 4.6, 5, : non-numeric variable in data frame: Species > head(round(iris[1:4], 2)) Sepal.Length Sepal.Width Petal.Length

Dear all, How should I add several variables to a data frame without losing the attributes of the df? Consider the following: > require(Hmisc) > Xa <- iris > label(Xa, self=T) <- "Some df label" > str(Xa) 'data.frame': 150 obs. of 5 variables: $ Sepal.Length: num 5.1 4.9 4.7 4.6 5 5.4 4.6 5 4.4 4.9 ... $ Sepal.Width : num 3.5 3 3.2 3.1 3.6 3.9 3.4 3.4 2.9

Hi, I was wondering if it is possible to get the rowindices without using the function "which" because I don't have a restriction criteria. Here's an example of what I mean: # take 10 randomly selected instances iris[sample(1:nrow(iris), 10),] # output Sepal.Length Sepal.Width Petal.Length Petal.Width Species 76 6.6 3.0 4.4 1.4

Dear all I have a simple problem which I thought is easy to solve but what I tried did not work. I want to change character variables to factor in data frame. It goes easily from factor to character, but I am stuck in how to do backwards conversion. Here is an example irisf<-iris irisf[,2]<-factor(irisf[,2]) # create second factor str(irisf) 'data.frame': 150 obs. of 5

Dear Sir/Madam, I am trying to do PCA analysis with "iris" dataset and trying to interpret the result. Dataset contains 150 obs of 5 variables Sepal.Length Sepal.Width Petal.Length Petal.Width Species 1 5.1 3.5 1.4 0.2 setosa 2 4.9 3.0 1.4 0.2 setosa

Dear list, I'm quite confused when interpreting results from a mixed linear model. For example, working on Iris data frame, I want to know the effect of species on slope of the model "Petal.Length~Sepal.Length" I write this : data(iris) reg01 <- lm(Petal.Length~Sepal.Length + Sepal.Length:Species, data=iris) summary(reg01) It gives me a summary table with lm for the first

Dear all, How can I obtain the union of a list of logical values? Consider the following: x <- head(iris) x[,c(2,4)] <- NA x[c(2,4),] <- NA # > x # Sepal.Length Sepal.Width Petal.Length Petal.Width Species # 1 5.1 NA 1.4 NA setosa # 2 NA NA NA NA <NA> # 3 4.7 NA 1.3

Dear all, I have a problem with the function read.xls from the gdata package, error message see below. Two examples: First, I try to read my data, which does not work; Secondly, I tried the example code/data with the Iris data, which worked Any idea?

I try to perform a clustering using an existing dissimilarity matrix that I calculated using distance (analogue) I tried two different things. One of them worked and one not and I don`t understand why. Here the code: not working example library(cluster) library(analogue) iris2<-as.data.frame(iris) str(iris2) 'data.frame': 150 obs. of 5 variables: $ Sepal.Length: num 5.1 4.9 4.7

Hi, I have two questions regarding the cloud function in the lattice package: 1) Is there a way to not print the surrounding frame (i.e. the square surrounding the entire plot)? 2) Is there a way to italicize the text displayed with the key argument? Some sample code: data(iris) cloud(Sepal.Length~Petal.Length*Petal.Width,data=iris, groups=Species,screen=list(z=20,x=-70),

Dear community, I am currently trying to fit an ordinal logistic regression model with the polr function. I often get the same error message : "attempt to find suitable starting values failed", for example with : require(MASS) data(iris) polr(Species~Sepal.Length+Sepal.Width+Petal.Length+Petal.Width,iris) (I know the response variable Species should be nominal but I do as levels

Dear R developers Would you consider adding a 'data.frame' method for the base::rep function? The need to replicate a df row-wise can easily arise while programming, and rep() is unable to handle such a case. See below. > x <- iris[1, ] > x Sepal.Length Sepal.Width Petal.Length Petal.Width Species 1 5.1 3.5 1.4 0.2 setosa > rep(x, 2)
