Is there a function to convert character strings to object references. For example, I want to name sets of objects based on scenarios and the types of data being stored. So the scenarios might be something like c("a", "b", "c"), the types of data might have names like c("pass.trp", "trk.trp", "cmute.trp"), and I want to assign data to

I had this problem too. The documentation for the winMenus says that these functions are part of the utils package. R must be loading this library after it sources in Rprofile. If you add library(utils) to the beginning of your .First function, it should take care of the problem. Brian Gregor, P.E.

I have what is likely to be a simple question about the else keyword. The usage in the help pages is as follows: if(cond) cons.expr else alt.expr I would expect to be able to use it in the following way as well: if(cond){ cons.expr } else alt.expr This results a syntax error. Am I doing something wrong, or doesn't R support the spanning of the combination of if and else

Saving Rdata files in a zip archive form can in some cases save a considerable amount of disk space. R has the zip.file.extract function to extract files from zip archives, but appears not to have any corresponding function to save in zipped form. (At least I have not been able to find anything in the help files or through searching the mail archives.) The system function can be used to call gzip

First, here's the problem I'm working on so you understand the context. I have a data frame of travel activity characteristics with 70,000+ records. These activities are identified by unique chain numbers. (Activities are part of trip chains.) There are 17,500 chains. I use the chain numbers as factors to split various data fields into lists of chain characteristics with each element of

Hi I have a 3 x 2 contingency table: 10 20 30 40 50 60 I want to update the frequencies to new marginal totals: 100 130 40 80 110 I want to use the ipf (iterative proportional fitting) function which is apparently in the cat package. Can somebody please advice me how to input this data and invoke ipf in R to obtain an updated contingency table? Thanks. By the way I am quite new to R. -- Dr

i am new to R,so i post here to ask you how to learn R quickly? is there some usefull materials about using R. ps:though the manual is a good materials,but it is not the best for a newbie,i think. thank you !

I am having trouble using get.bnddata() in the RArcInfo package. I installed the version 0.2 binary of the package for Windows and am using R 1.4.1 on Windows NT 4.0. I have had no problems importing and plotting arc data with get.arcdata() and plotarc(). plotpal() also works fine. I've been able to use get.arcdata(), get.labdata(), get.paldata(), get.tablenames(), get.tablefields(),

Hello, I need to extract sequences from an ordered vector. For example, if a<-c(1,2,3,6,10,11,13) I need to get the followings 4 vectors (1,2,3),(6),(10,11),(13) Thank You -Bruno ------------------------------------------------------ Leggi GRATIS le tue mail con il telefonino i-mode? di Wind http://i-mode.wind.it/

I understand how R treats NAs but in the situation below it would be nice to have a na.skip argument to paste so it does not convert the NAs to "NA"s and simply skips those elements of the vector for pasting. > x [1] "2.13" "2.3" NA NA "2.83" NA > paste(x, "0", sep="") [1] "2.130" "2.30"

I would like to reference array dimensions by name in an apply and a summary function. For example: apply(x, "workers", sum) Is there a better way to do this than creating a new attribute for the array and then creating new methods for apply and summary? I don't want to name the individual elements of each dimension (such as with dimnames) but rather name the dimensions. Thanks

I just uploaded two packages to CRAN. shapefiles_0.1.tar.gz - functions to read and write ESRI shapefiles (including dbfs) emme2_0.1.tar.gz - functions to read binary data from an EMME/2 databank data (EMME/2 is a transportation modeling program) Please let me know if you find any bugs or have some suggestions.

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

Hi All, I have a function, f(x,y) I have a matrix of data, m, with the 1st column is x and the 2nd column is y What's the best way to get f(x,y) for each row of the matrix? I tried result<-f(m[,1],m[,2]) but it doesn't work. Thanks! Bing --------------------------------- 1060 Commerce Park Oak Ridge National Laboratory P.O.

Hi R users I am trying to find unmatched data from two dataframes. I would like to find unmatched data based on several factors. For the following data: dat1 <- data.frame(x = paste("A", 1:6, sep=""), y = c("andy","bob","ciaran","dan", "eion", "fred")) dat1 dat2

HI R help, I was trying to get identical data frame from a list using two methods. #Suppose my list is: listdat1<-list(rnorm(10,20),rep(LETTERS[1:2],5),rep(1:5,2)) #Creating dataframe using cbind dat1<-data.frame(do.call("cbind",listdat1)) colnames(dat1)<-c("Var1","Var2","Var3") #Second dataframe conversion

Is there anyway to preset date formats? I have a date from a cover.dbf that is shown as this: > cover$FINALREPOR [1] "2003-06-24" The numeric value in cover$FINALREPOR is 12227. I'd rather not create another vector to hold the properly formatted date. When I put this in a WordPerfect merge, I want the date to be June 24, 2003. I could take care of the problem in a

All, Does anyone know if there is an option I can set to turn screen-buffered output on and off with the win32 rgui? (Apart from the point and click method). I am running some simulations where it is useful to watch output but it gets mildly tiresome having to manually switch things on and off via the gui. Thanks Toby. > version _ platform i386-pc-mingw32 arch
