similar to: number of patients in a hospital on a given date

the content of th character vector (of length 1) is as follows: a <- "something2 ....pat1 name1 pat2 something2....pat1 name2 pat2....pat1 name3 pat2 " I would like to extract the character bewteen pat1 and pat2. That's to say, I would like to get a vecter of c("name1", "name2","name3"). What I did is use strsplit() twise. But I wonder if there

Hi, I'm fairly new to R but I have a large dataset (300000 obs) containing patient material. Some patients came 2-9 times during the three year observation period. The patients are identified by a unique idnr, the sessions can be distinguished using the session date. How can I recode the date of the session to a session id (1-9). This would be necessary to obtain information and do some

How can I delete both rows and columns that do not meet a particular cut off value. Example: > d <- rbind(c(0, 1, 6, 4), + c(2, 5, 7, 5), + c(3, 6, 1, 6), + c(4, 4, 4, 4)) > f <- as.matrix(d) > f [,1] [,2] [,3] [,4] [1,] 0 1 6 4 [2,] 2 5 7 5 [3,] 3 6 1 6 [4,] 4 4 4 4 I would like to delete all

I can't get the PERL subexpression translated to R. Following, for example, B. Ripley's http://finzi.psych.upenn.edu/R/Rhelp02a/archive/58984.html I am using sub, but it looks like an ugly substitute. Assume I want to extract the first alpha part and the first numeric part, but only if they are in sequence. Do I really have to use the sub twice, first extracting the first variable, then

I was wondering if someone can help me figure out the following: I have two patient datasets, ds1 and ds2. ds1 has fields "patid", "date", and "lab1". ds2 has "patid", "date", and "lab2". I want to find all the patids that have at least 2 dated records for each lab. I started by splitting each dataset by patid, to create ds1.list

Dear R-help, Can anyone explain the meaning of the warning, Singular precision matrix in level -1, block 1 ? Or how to track down where it comes from? More precisely, using the nlme package, I'm issued with the warning itt2 <- lme(lrna~rx.nrti+lbrna, random=~1|patid, cor=corExp(form=~days|patid,nugget=T), weights=varPower( form=~lbrna),data=rna3) Warning messages: 1: Singular

Dear list member, I have the following data example ke <- data.frame(patid=c(1,1,1,2,3,3),a=c(1,2,2,1,1,2)) I want to add another variable b, such that the max of 'a' by id is returned i.e data ke becomes ke <- data.frame(patid=c(1,1,1,2,3,3),a=c(1,2,2,1,1,2),b=c(2,2,2,1,2,2)) Any help will be appreciated.

I have a dataframe that contains fields such as patid, labdate, labvalue. The same patid may show up in multiple rows because of lab measurements on multiple days. Is there a simple way to obtain just the first and last record for each patient, or do I need to write some code that performs that. Thanks, Steven

Dear R-helper, Please suggest some methods for my question below. We measured the amount of protein A in patient blood in pre-treatment and post-treatment condition from 32 patients. -------------------------------------------- Pre-treatment Post-treatment Pat1 25 28 Pat2 19 15 Pat3 94

Hi, guys I don't understand why I can apply as.Date to a single item in the list: > as.Date(alldays[4]) [1] "29-03-20" but when I try to lapply as.Date to all the items, i got a sequence of neg numbers: > sapply(alldays[1:4], FUN=as.Date) 03-04-2012 02-04-2012 30-03-2012 29-03-2012 -718323 -718688 -708492 -708857 does anyone know what's wrong here? i am

Hello, I'm new to R but wan't to use it to compute the statistics of my medical study. The study includes several parameters for a number of patients. Each parameter was assessed by a number of readers, once with a special condition, once without. Now I have a data.frame with colums like: PatientID, ReaderID, SpecialCond(yes/no), Parameter1, Parameter2..... the rows are not sorted, and

Hello, Everyone, I am a student an a new learner of R and I am trying to do my homework in R. I have 10 files need to be read and process seperately. I really want to write the codes into something like "macro" to save the lines instead of repeating 10 times of similar work. The following is part of my codes and I only extracted three lines for each repeating section. data.1 <-

Hi All, I am iterating through dated materials, with variable start and end dates, and would like to skip procedures everytime I encounter a weekend or holiday. To do this, I thought the easiest way would be to create a TRUE/FALSE vector corresponding to each day where it is TRUE if a workday, and FALSE if a weekend or holiday. So far I have been able to do this for weekdays: startDate <-

I've got a big data.frame from which I need to extract data based on a variable number of Id's (InfCode). Until now I've been using the following dull solution as I never needed to search for more than 5 codes. Now my needs have increased faster than my R skills did and I need to call my function with about 25 values for x. There has to be a *apply or even simpler solution which

Hello all, Can any of you R gurus help me out? I?m not all that great at stats to begin with, and I?m also learning the R ropes (former SAS user). Here?s what I need help with? I have a nested sample design and ran a nested anova, but I don?t know how to interpret the results habitat (four different types) is nested in site (three types), and site is nested in gear (two types)

Dear all, Attached is a description of my data, graph and the problem which I need help with. Hope you have time to open the file and help me out. Many thanks, Jenny ---------------------------------

Full_Name: Martin O'Gorman Version: OS: Submission from: (NULL) (84.176.63.149) I have been looking at the PPC package and have a question. As the input data is comma separated, shouldn?t the command to read in the raw (no batch) mass spec data indicate that sep=?,? (marked below) ? Otherwise, the data read in is the pair of values (m/z,intensity). It is not obvious why that should be.

Dear list, I have the following text to parse (originating from readLines as some lines have unequal size), st = c("START text1 1 text2 2.3", "whatever intermediate text", "START text1 23.4 text2 3.1415") from which I'd like to extract the lines starting with "START", and group the subsequent fields in a data.frame in this format: text1 text2

Hi, When the Dovecot 1.0.rc19 IMAP server encounters X-UID headers with gaps in them, it hangs indefinitely. I've attached a sample mailbox (in mbox format) which repeatably exhibits this behavior. The mbox contains only three messages with the following X-UIDs in order: 774, 785, 787. If I remove the X-UID headers from each message, Dovecot handles the mailbox without any problems. UW-IMAP
