similar to: problem in deparse(substitute())

Dear all, It appears that MASS::polr() and Design::lrm() return the same point estimates but different st.errs when fitting proportional odds models, grade<-c(4,4,2,4,3,2,3,1,3,3,2,2,3,3,2,4,2,4,5,2,1,4,1,2,5,3,4,2,2,1) score<-c(525,533,545,582,581,576,572,609,559,543,576,525,574,582,574,471,595, 557,557,584,599,517,649,584,463,591,488,563,553,549) library(MASS) library(Design)

Dear all, I have the following (rather) strange problem.. For some reasons, I finally work with a variable whose name includes an R function, "a.log(z)", say. And that is a problem when I call it in a formula, for instance: > myname<-"a.log(z)" > dd<-data.frame("a.log(z)"=1:10,y=rnorm(10)) > o<-lm(y~1,data=dd) >

Dear all, I would like to write a function like: myfun<-function(x,fn) {xx<-exp(x); x*fn(xx)} where fn is a symbolic description of any function with its argument to be specified. Therefore myfun(5,"2+0.3*y^2") should return 5*(2+0.3*exp(5)^2), myfun(5,"log(y)") should return 5*log(exp(5)) and so on. I tried with "expression" and others, but without success.

Dear R helpers: I like to apply deparse(substitute()) on multiple arguments to collect the names of the arguments into a character vector. I used function test.fun as below. it works when there is only one input argument. but it does not work for multiple arguements. can someone kindly help? test.fun <- function(...){deparse(substitute(...))} test.fun(x) #this works test.fun(x,y,z) # I like

Hello everyone, I encountered the following confusing behavior of 'deparse' and 'substitute' while programming with S4 classes (see example below). It seems like the presence of '...' argument in the definition of the generic generates the problem. I have no clue why, can anyone explain that to me? Are there any "workarounds"? Thanks a lot for your time!

Hi, I'm writing a function that needs the input names (as characterstrings) as part of the output. With deparse(substitute( ) ) that works fine, until I replace all zeros with 0.001 (log is calculated at some time): tf <- function(input) { input[input==0] <- 0.001 ; deparse(substitute(input)) } myguess <- 42 tf(myguess) # not "myguess", but "42" Now when

Hi, All: I'm having trouble getting deparse(substitute(x)) inside print.generic to consistently I'm having trouble getting a print.something to work consistently. Consider the following toy example: # Define an object of class 'dum' k <- 1 class(k) <- 'dum' str(k) # as expected # Define print.dum print.dum <- function(x, ...)

I see that plot.default uses deparse(substitute(x)) to extract the character name of an argument and put it on the vertical axis. Hence: foo <- 1:10 plot( foo ) will put the label "foo" on the vertical axis. However, for a function that takes a "..." list as an input, I can only extract the first argument name: x <- 1:10 y <- 10:20 foo <- function(...) {

In an implied call to an S3 print method, deparse(substitute(x)) returns "x", regardless of the name of object in .GlobalEnv, as indicated in the following: > Xnamed <- 1 > class(Xnamed) <- 'name.x' > print.name.x <- function(x, ...){ + namex <- deparse(substitute(x)) + cat('How can I get the name of x in .GlobalEnv?\n', +

Hi the list, I am writing a function in which I need to affect a variable on a higher level. My fnction could be: ++++++++++++++++++ fooBis <- function(x){ nameObject <- deparse(substitute(x)) print(nameObject) assign(nameObject,4,envir=parent.frame()) } > fooBis(e) [1] "e" > e [1] 4 ----------------- (to simplify, this fnction can affect only the number

Dear list, When calling R from C, what appears like a spurious error can be triggered during the execution of chisq.test(x, y). This is happening when the following conditions are met: - x and y are "anonymous" C-level R vectors (they do not have a symbol), but they are protected from garbage collection - x and y are "not too small" (it was experienced as soon as they are

Dear list, can someone explain to me why deparse(substitute(x)) does not seem to work when x is of a user-defined S3 class? In my actual problem, my print method is part of a package, and the method is registered in the NAMESPACE, if that should make a difference. > print.testclass <- function(x,...){ xname <- deparse(substitute(x)) cat("Your object name

In R code, "deparse(substitute(arg))" is the usual way to construct a label for an argument. Is there an equivalent to this in C code working on an SEXP, inside a function called by .Internal()? Duncan Murdoch

Dear List I hope you can help me: I?ve got a dataframe (df) within which I am looking for Peak Over Threshold values as well as the length of the events. An event starts when walevel equals 5.8 and it should end when walevel equals the lower threshold value (5.35). I tried ?clusters (?)? from ?evd package?, and varied r (see example) but it did not work for all events (again

dear all, When I use all.vars(), I am interest in extracting only the variable names.. Here a simple example all.vars(as.formula(y~poly(x,k)+z)) returns [1] "y" "x" "k" "z" and I would like to obtain "y" "x" "z" Where is the trick? many thanks vito -- ==================================== Vito M.R.

Dear List, I have the following function: coca <- function(x, ...) { if(is.null(class(x))) class(x) <- data.class(x) UseMethod("coca", x) } and a default method coca.default <- function(x, y, method = c("predictive", "symmetric"), reg.method = c("simpls", "eigen"), weights = NULL,

Dear all, I've just downloaded the miniR.exe, miniR-1.bin,....,miniR-8.bin in order to update R to 1.6.2 (I cannot download the file of 19Mb !). The installation seems to have worked fine, but I can't find in the /bin dir several files that were, for instance, in the /bin directory in the version 1.5.1 In particular the file Rcmd.exe is missing, therefore I cannot run R in BATCH mode (I

I would like to define a function at run-time, but I just can't make it work (please don't question why I want to do this, because that would be too much to explain). For example, I want to define the the following function foo <- function(x) { cat("Function", "foo", "was called with argument", x, ".\n") } However, I would like to

dear all, This is a probably a silly question. If I type > grep("x",c("a.x" ,"b.x","a.xx"),value=TRUE) [1] "a.x" "b.x" "a.xx" Instead, I would like to obtain only "a.x" "b.x" How is it possible to get this result with grep()? many thanks for your attention, best, vito --
