Dear listers, I'm having a bad R day. I just can't think of the vectorized equivalent of: for (ii in 1:n) aa[ii] = bb[ii,cc[ii]] Any suggestion received with embarrassment and gratitude Simon Gatehouse CSIRO Exploration and Mining, Newbigin Close off Julius Ave North Ryde, NSW Mail: PO Box 136, North Ryde NSW 1670, Australia

Dear Any, I am trying to initialise Rjava with the objective of running ORCA within R. I am running R1.5.1 on Windows2000 and get the same problem with Sun Java run time jre-1.2.2_013 Java j2re-1.4.1_01 Microsoft Java Virtual Machine Build 3805 .JavaInit() is failing at : .C("s_start_VM", as.character(classPath), as.character(classPath),

The following might be of benefit to those who find themselves in a similar predicament with an apparently corrupted R in Windows 2000. The problem was traced back to a corrupted register in my user profile in Windows 2000 apparently caused by a DLL in Visual Basic installation not self registering correctly. The fix was to copy a new uncorrupted register from the default user. Though some of

Dear R users, I run R on windows 2000 and windows 98 I am seeking opinion, or better still a code snippet, on what might be the quickest, not necessarily the best or preferred way, of making the Windows color selection common dialog available in R. Would it be an executable called with system() or shell() or perhaps a tcltk module or have I missed something obvious? I don't believe that I

Dear All, Has anyone worked with linking R to both ArcView and MapInfo GIS systems? My desire is to capture object selection from GIS and pass to R and to return spatially based statistical model results from R to GIS. If both could simultaneously access the same data file this would be a bonus. My inclination is to put together some routines based on ODBC linking but thought I would seek like

Microsoft Windows R users, I am operating Windows 2000 (build2195) with R1.7. It may be pertinent that I am using a dual head screen with the initial RGui filing the entire area of both screens. When starting R I use the .First() function to add menu items to the RGui interface using winMenuAdd() and winMenuAddItem(). The menus do not display until the RGui window is physically manipulated in

I wrote a function to calculate cosine distances between rows of a matrix. It uses two loops and is slow. Any suggestions to speed this up? Thanks in advance. theta.dist <- function(x){ res <- matrix(NA, nrow(x), nrow(x)) for (i in 1:nrow(x)){ for(j in 1:nrow(x)){ if (i > j) res[i, j] <- res[j, i] else { v1 <- x[i,] v2 <- x[j,]

R on windows users, I've noted a similar problem reported before [Rd] Rgui.exe crash on Windows 2000 (PR#912) but could not find the solution. I have been running R1.4.1 in windows 2000 since the day it was released with plenty of RAM for my purposes. In two of my .Rdata files I run TclTk as a menuing system to invoke a series of functions for plotting statistics etc. On occasions,

All: Are there any functions out there for selecting all the points in a region of a plot. I envision something like the identify() function except one could circle a cloud of points (and perhaps a vector would be returned of the same length as the points plotted indicating logical membership in the circled cloud). Perhaps someone has done something with the locator() function that would

If possible I would like to add two sub-menus to the R Console under Windows. For example, I would like to add: winMenuAddItem("File", "Load CSV...", "loadCSV()") winMenuAddItem("File", "Save CSV...", "saveCSV()") and have them appear under the initial 'File' item rather than add a new 'File' menu item. I seem to

Dear anybody dealing with TCLTK on R I'm trying, without any success, to get a simple TCLTK window to remain floating on top of the RGui and RConsol windows when the later have focus. I cannot find reference in the TCKTK documentation and fear that I'm missing something quite fundamental. My objective is to make a simple button populated menu to invoke R functions. I wish the TCLTK menu

Dear R users, I am running R2.1 on windows XP SP2. I have a problem that I fear I am providing insufficient information to resolve. But if anyone can suggest directions to understand the problem I would be most grateful. I import modest datasets which create a list of data frames (primary data object) amounting to 15.9Mb when measured internally by object.size() . The sizes of the list

Dear R-helpers, can I use a POSIXct date as the x variable in interpSpline? The help page says x and y need to be numeric... is there a workaround? example: library(splines) testdfr <- data.frame(Date=seq(as.POSIXct("2008-08-01"),as.POSIXct("2008-09-01"), length=10)) testdfr$yvar <- rnorm(10) sp <- interpSpline(yvar ~ Date, testdfr) preddfr <-

Hello and thanks for helping. #some data L3 <- LETTERS[1:3] dat1 <- data.frame(cbind(x=1, y=rep(1:3,2), fac=sample(L3, 6, replace=TRUE))) #When x==1 and y==1 I want to replace the 1 values with NA #I can select the rows I want: dat2<-subset(dat1,x==1 & y==1) #replace the 1 with NA dat2$x<-rep(NA,nrow(dat2) dat2$y<-rep(NA,nrow(dat2) #select the other rows and rbind

Is there an easy way to control smoothness of the contour lines? In the plot I am working on due to the undersampling the contour lines I am getting are jugged, but it is clear "by eye" these should be basically straight lines. In maps package I found smooth.map function, but maybe there is a more generic way of accomplishing the same thing. Ideally there would be an option to control

Dear list, I am trying to use RGoogleDocs, but I am connecting through a proxy server. I know RCurl is used for the connection, which should be able to deal with proxies and such. How do I set this up for RCurl? And can I use those settings with RGoogleDocs as well? I have the name of the proxy server and the port number. (Windows XP). thanks, Remko
