Hi everyone, I've got a dataframe with columns of different types. A certain number of columns in the dataframe hold the results of a series of Likert-type items. I've got a function that will print a simple table of frequencies and I want to apply that function to those columns of the dataframe only. What's the best approach? -Tim -- Tim Wilson | Visit Sibley online: |

Hi everyone, I've got a dataframe called 'faculty'. I want to do a weighted mean on the column called 'Q8' weighted by the contents of column 'CETP'. In addition, I need to operate on the result of splitting 'faculty' according to the contents of a column 'FACULTY'. For example > lapply(split(faculty$Q8, faculty$FACULTY), mean) $"1" [1]

Hi everyone, I want to use the Fisher r-to-z transformation as part of a hypothesis test of r. I can't find an R function that can do that.

Hi everyone, I wonder if there's a patient soul out there who has a minute to look at the following. I've got a set of summary statistics I need to perform many times. Naturally, I've looked at writing a function to automate the process as much as possible. (These are the data I mentioned recently in my question about weighted means.) I'm having trouble figuring out the proper

Hi everyone, I've got a problem with an analysis of variance where it appears that my independent variable is being treated as an integer when it should be nominal. The data are being loaded from an SPSS file and the independent variable 'YearColl' corresponds (surprisingly enough) to a student's year in college. :-) The integers 1-4 are used in the dataset for this purpose. My

Software information: R Version 1.5.1 (2002-06-17) ESS 5.1.20 Emacs 21.1.1 Mozilla 1.0 Linux Mandrake 8.2 Colleagues I am having a little trouble installing packages.

Hi everyone, I'm taking a course in statistics as part of my doctoral program in education at the U. of Minnesota, USA. I found R via Rpy, a python module that makes it possible to use R from python scripts. The instructor refers to SPSS a lot and that seems to be the standard stats tool around here. But being more of a Unix guy and not intimidated by programming, I'd like to see if I

Dear R People: Is there a library for Multivariate time series, please? For some reason, I'm thinking that Dr. Paul Gilbert may have one? R Version 1.6.2 (i've updated!) for Windows Thanks so much! Sincerely, Erin Hodgess University of Houston - Downtown mailto: hodgess at uhddx01.dt.uh.edu

Dear R People: I have a question about a "sorting" problem, please. I have a vector xx: > xx [1] -2.0 1.4 -1.2 -2.2 0.4 1.5 -2.2 0.2 -0.4 -0.9 and a vector of breaks: > xx.y [1] -2.2000000 -0.9666667 0.2666667 1.5000000 I want to produce another vector z which contains the number of the class that each data point is in. for instance, xx[1] is between xx.y[1] and

Dear R People: Here is an interesting question(I think) Suppose I want to calculate Centered Moving Averages; i.e. x[1] <- ( sum(y[1:12]) )/12 x[2] <- ( sum(y[2:13]) )/12 and so on. Of course, this is easily done through loops. However, I have been trying to do this more elegantly, but have failed. I have tried things like j1 <- 1:109 j2 <- 12:120 x[1:109] <- ( sum( y[j1:j2])

Hello R People: Suppose I create a function, x.e, via the fix command: > x.e <- fix(x.e) When I type in x.e, the function code appears, along with the name/number of the environment. However, if I create a function, y.e, and source it in, when I type in y.e, the function code only displays(no environment). Why is this, please? (It's not a bug....I just wondered). I am using

Dear R People: I have the source for R version 1.1.1 on a UNIX system alpha-dec-osf4. The ./configure works fine. When I do the make, it works fine until it tries to build the package tcklc.
