Hello, I would like to know how to delete some rows? Suppose I have a large data frame look something like this: x1 x2 x3 .............. a 1 0.45 b 1 0.41 c 0 0.43 a 1 0.39 d 1 0.40 e 0 0.41 r 1 0.42 a 0 0.46 . . .. I would like to have another data frame which has all

Dear all, My questions are that if I have > x<-rnorm(50) > dim(x)<-c(10,5) > y=1:5 > Z<-matrix(0,NROW(x),NROW(y)) > for (j in 1:NROW(y)) Z[,j]<-x[,j]*y[j] 1. Is there any other way to write this without 'for' loop? 2. and if I don't know the dimension of x, which could be only 1 column, how could I write the command without using if (NCOL(x)==1), or

Another question about lattice: Is there a way to use plotmath in the labels and strips? E.g. xyplot(y~x|group,data=test.df, panel=function(x,y,subscripts,df) { llines(x,y,col="black",lwd=2) llines(x,df[subscripts,"lowerCI"],lty=2,col="#aaaaaa") llines(x,df[subscripts,"upperCI"],lty=2,col="#aaaaaa") },

I'm new to lattice and can't figure out what the problem is with the following example: ######################### > library(lattice) Loading required package: grid Attaching package `lattice': The following object(s) are masked _by_ .GlobalEnv : xyplot The following object(s) are masked from package:base : levels > test.data <- data.frame(x=rnorm(100), +

Hello. Given a vector 1 3 4 2 8 9 5 I want to obtain a vector with all 0 except in the second position and in the fifth, where the numbers are the same of the first vector. The new vector must be 0 3 0 0 8 0 0 Thank you very much. Excuseme but my mind is out of order.

I have gone over the examples and can't figure this out: rho<-.77 text(x=.05,y=.5,paste(expression(rho),rho)) I was hoping to get this to print a Greek rho with 0.77 beside it. Instead I get: rho 0.77 (i.e. Roman lettering) The help on expression() is quite opaque so I don't understand how it works. Thanks for any help. Bill Simpson

Hi, Suppose I have a function: myfunc <- function(x, y) { ... } And within the function I want to print out the name of the x, y vectors. For example, if I do: > myfunc(foo, goo) [1] "foo" "goo" It shall return "foo", "goo" (with or without quotes is fine), where foo and goo are two vectors with numbers. I know this sounds strange, but I'd

Derar R-people I have troubles understanding what the function sort.list() is doing. On the homepage it says that it returns a permutation which rearranges a vector into ascending or descending order (like order() but on a vector instead of a sequence). > sort.list(c(0, 2, 10, 11, 4)) [1] 1 2 5 3 4 which does not make sense to me. In fact I am getting the same (non-sensical) result using

A student of mine wants to use R to do some nonmetric multidimensional scaling. According to the R FAQ, there's a package called pcurve that computes multidimensional scaling solutions, but I was not able to locate it the contrib page (I am a Windows user with R version 1.4.1). Can anyone tell me whether it is possible to do nonmetric multidimensional scaling with R, and if so, how? John

Hi there, Given 2 lists of integer vectors, i.e.: > lista1 $"1" [1] 1 34 5 $"2" [1] 2 1 $"3" [1] 3 10 15 > lista2 $"1" [1] 1 5 $"2" [1] 2 1 $"3" [1] 3 10 29 I want to obtain the union of both, defined as the union of the vectors, that is lista.union[[1]] <- union(lista1[[1]],lista2[[1]]): > lista.union

Hello all - If I want to put mean value of a matrix into the title or subtitle of a graph, how would I do this? For example, in a set of commands like below, > m.mean<-mean(m) > gplot (m, thresh=m.mean) > title (main="A2. Block Density of Matrix m\nplotted based on MDS", + sub="lines below mean density (**0.435**) suppressed") I want to ask [R] to put the

Hello I am trying to input some co-ordinate sets into R of the form x,y by using lists. The command I am using is: p1 <- list(x=c(3445,563,646), y=c(234,567,456)) However the actual co-ordinate sets that I am trying to input have 305 points each and I think that the program will not accept a command that is as long as necessary. Is this so? If this is the case can you tell me how to read

Hi, all, I just recently upgraded my computer though I'm using the same OS (XP). But now I'm having difficulty building packages and I cannot seem to solve the problem. I'm using R-2.1.1pat on Windows XP. Here is what I tried: D:\Users\sundard\slib\sundar\R>R CMD CHECK sundar * checking for working latex ... OK * using log directory

Hello again, First I want to thank all the people who answered my question about line width in graphs. I promise I will learn the 'par' help page by heart for the end of the month ! I now want to trace some ellipses to emphasize groups of data. I found how to trace circles with 'symbols()', but no ellipse. I'm planning on writing my own function based on

Full_Name: Sundar Dorai-Raj Version: 1.8.1 OS: Windows 2000 Professional Submission from: (NULL) (12.64.199.173) I discovered this problem when trying to use princomp in package:mva when a column in my matrix was all zeros and I set cor = TRUE (thus division by 0). Doing so hangs R, never to return. I have to shut down Rterm in the Task Manager and lose all work from the current image. I tracked

Hello everyone, I want to transform a data.frame into an array (lets call it mydata), where: mydata[[1]] is the first imputed dataset...and for each mydata[[d]], the first p columns are covariates X, and the last one is the outcome Y. Lets assume a simple data.frame: Imputed = data.frame( X1 = c(1,2,1,2,1,2,1,2, 1,2,1,2,1,2,1,2), X2 =

Hi all, I recently updated my to R 2.6.0 and tseries package ?tseries? version: 0.10-11. When i was using R Version 2.3.1 (2006-06-01) with tseries 'tseries' version: 0.10-7, the code > garch(dflnRCLC1) ***** ESTIMATION WITH ANALYTICAL GRADIENT ***** Call: garch(x = dflnRCLC1) Coefficient(s): a0 a1 b1 4.985e+00 1.880e-01 6.210e-14 > worked very

In the documentation the closed thing I see to an explanation of this is that ?detach says "Unloading some namespaces has undesirable side effects" Can anyone explain why unloading tseries will load zoo? I don't think this behavior is specific to tseries, it's just an example. I realize one would not usually unload something that is not loaded, but I would expect it to do

I have R 2.6.2, and have tried downloading and installing the package "tseries".
