similar to: predicting fuzzy cluster membership

Dear R-users, I'm felling kind of blocked on a quite simple problem and I wonder if someone could give me a help with it. My problem: x[0] = 100 x[1] = (1+v[1])*x[0] x[2] = (1+v[2])*x[1] ... i.e. x[i] = (1+v[i])*x[i-1] and x[0]=k Given a set of v values I wanted to obtain the corresponding x values in an efficient way (i.e. without a for loop). For instance, if x[0] = 100 and v =

Is there any package similar to the XML package that is able to "extract" relevant information from HTML files. Namely, I'm interested in obtained data that is represented as a HTML table, into some R-type structure.

Regarding a previous question concerning the kmeans function I've tried the same example and I also get a strange result (at least according to what is said in the help of the function kmeans). Apparently, the function is disregarding the initial cluster centers one gives it. According to the help of the function: centers: Either the number of clusters or a set of initial cluster

I'm trying to obtain a set of regression lines obtained for different values of a factor using lattice. I would like to add a string to each panel showing the R^2 value of the respective line, but I'm having difficulties positioning the text (namely on which coordinates to give to the "ltext" function). Here is what I'm using (I've used ?? for the things I would like

Hi. I frequently use RMySQL package to interface R with MySQL databases. I was having a try with package DBI and I got the following error: > library(RMySQL) > library(DBI) > drv <- dbDriver("MySQL") > ch <- dbConnect(drv, dbname="mydb", user="myuser", password="mypasswd") > ibm <- dbGetQuery(ch,"select * from table where

Can someone please explain to me why the dates get shifted by one day when I create an its ( irregular time-series ) object from a matrix for which I've assigned row names. E.g. in the example run below, why does the its object have dates one-shifted from my original dates? > install.packages('its') > install.packages('Hmisc') > require(its) > m <-

I'm having some difficulties with the package XML. Namely, issuing the following commands: > library(XML) > hp <- htmlTreeParse('http://www.liacc.up.pt/~ltorgo/index.html',isURL=T) I get a flood of messages like this : Save workspace image? [y/n/c]: readline: warning: rl_prep_terminal: cannot get terminal settings My system is: > version _

I'm having some problems with valid field names when using RMySQL to interface R (version 1.7.0, under RedHat9.0), to MySQL (4.1.0-alpha). I think I've spotted the problem and a solution (which is working for me), but I wanted to share this with you as I may be missing something. (Note: I'm aware that this is an old R version, but I've checked the code of the lastest version of

I've come across the following error when using free scales with bwplot (I use a small example data set just to illustrate the problem): > d <- data.frame( x=c(34.4, 12.4, NA, 65.3, NA, 12.0, 45.0, 645.0, 644.0,323.0), fac1=c('a','a','b','a','b','a','a','c','c','c'),

Hi. I've already posted this question 2 months ago but as I've got no answer I've decided to try again :-) I'm using R1.3.1 on a x86 machine running Win 2000. My problem: I want to convert a string to a date format using strptime. As I'm from Portugal my locale information is the following: > Sys.getlocale() [1]

Dear all, I'm trying to use the lattice barchart function to obtain a bar plot of a variable for different values of two factors. The thing I'm trying to do is something like this: > barchart(MyVar ~ season | place, data=mydataset) My problem is that the column MyVar has some negative values and I would like them to be represented as bars stacking down from zero instead of what

Dear all, I've recently encountered a strange behaviour when using R with portuguese accented characters. The most curious aspect is that using the same code with ESS under XEmacs the behaviour is different.

Hi. I have a question concerning the easiest way to index a time series object holding some stock quotes. An example: > ibm <- get.hist.quote("IBM",start="2000-01-01") My question is:- Suppose I want to know the stock quotes on 2000-01-03. Which is the easiest way to index the "ibm" time series object to get them? I got what I wanted using: >

I have upgraded R on my Linux box from 1.5.1 to 1.6.1 using the binary distributions for redhat 7.x. My machine is runing: Linux 2.4.18-3 Red Hat Linux release 7.3 (Valhalla) After upgrading R, I executed upgrade.packages() During the upgrading of the different packages there was an error on RMySQL. Here is a dump of the upgrading messages:

Dear all, I'm having some problems with using the step() function inside another function. I think it is an environment problem but I do not know how to overcome it. Any suggestions are appreciated. I've prepared a simple example to illustrate my problem: > library(MASS) > data(Boston) > my.fun <- function(dataset) { + l <- lm(medv ~ .,data=dataset) + final.l <-

I've written a small adaptation of the text.rpart function of the rpart package to better suite my tree presentation needs (I basically left the code untouched, only changing some numbers relating to label positioning). When I changed to version 1.7.0 this function stopped working printing the error : couldn't find function "rpartco" As far as I understand this has to do

Dear list, I've recently came across a problem that I think I've solved and that I wanted to share with you for two reasons: - Maybe others come across the same problem. - Maybe someone has a much simpler solution that wants to share with me ;-) The problem is as follows: expand.grid() allows you to generate a data.frame with all combinations of a set of values, e.g.: >
