Hello, Is there a simple and fast function that returns a vector of the number of replications for each object of a vector ? For example : I have a vector of IDs : ids <- c( "ID1", "ID2", "ID2", "ID3", "ID3","ID3", "ID5") I want the function returns the following vector where each term is the number of replicates for the

Hello everyone, How can I specify in tcltk file browser the initial directory to "MyComputer" in Windows where Drives and Partition are accessible? And just a little question if anyone knows, is there a way to use the function choose.files under windows to select a directory? Thanks a lot for your help. Laetitia.

Hello, When I launch a script under windows it does not display sequentially my cat calls or maybe the console is not refreshed at every line of my script. For instance with that code cat("\n\n================== IMPORT DATA FROM FILE ===================\n\n") fileschosen <- choose.files(caption="Select gpr files", filters = matrix(c("genepix

Hi, I have R installed under a Mandrake linux system and I don't have shell utilities any more under my R console such as completion when writing a file path, back and forth in the history, bindkeys... Moreover when I quit R by saving, no .Rhistory file is created while the .Rdata is. I don't get how this work, I thought it was based on the user unix shell but it does not seem. Any

In the previous versions of R (2.6.1), when a vector of NA was given to the functions 'sd' or 'var' with parameter na.rm = TRUE, it used to return NA. Now (2.7.1) it returns an ERROR : Example in 2.6.1: > sd(c(NA, NA, NA, NA), na.rm = TRUE) [1] NA Example in 2.7.1: > sd(c(NA, NA, NA, NA), na.rm = TRUE) Error in var(x, na.rm = na.rm) : paires d'éléments

For reasons which I'll spare you, I'm writing a program to analyse R source code. This has led me to probe some of the darker corners of R syntax to find out what is supposed to happen. Now, from reading the R documentation (and the New S book &c) I know perfectly well that f(a, b, etc) <- x is supposed to turn into a <- "f<-"(a, b, etc, value=x) Except,

Try the following function (the name is supposed to be a joke, by the way), which will also do the right thing with NAs and characters. Use it as if(equal.enough(x,y)) rather than if(x==y), e.g. > equal.enough(0.1+0.2, 0.3) [1] TRUE My default of 15 significant figures may be overkill in many applications; be prepared to reduce this. Simon Fear "equal.enough" <- function(x, y,

Hello World, I have a function that makes pairwise comparisons between two strings. I would like to apply this function to my data (which consists of columns with different strings) in the way that it compares the first with the second entry, and then the third with the fourth, and then the fifth with the sixth, and so on down each column... So (2x-1) and (2x) would be the different entries to be

Hi! Does anybody know a string function that would calculate how many characters two strings share? I.e. ("Hello World","Hello Peter") would be 7. Thanks. Laetitia

Dear R users, I am trying to fit a glm with a distribution free family, link = log and variance = constant*mu. I guess I have to use the quasi family but the choices of variance are restricted to constant or mu or mu^2..., I don't know the way to choose the variance that I need, i.e. constant*mu. If you have any ideas or advice, please tell me. Thanks, Laetitia Mestdagh Laetitia Mestdagh

Help! Being a bit of a novice, please bear with me if this is a stupid question! I am trying to fit a saturated model to some count data that I have: model<-glm(COUNT~SP*LOC*COL*TIME*TREAT,poisson) but R keeps on crashing and coming up with (occasionally before crashing) an error that states: Algorithm did not converge in: (if(is.empty.model(mt)) glm.fit.null else glm.fit)(x = X, y = Y,

Hi, I've had a little problem for several weeks now. It is annoying and therefore I will ask for help now: When I write a script with several iterations, I make it write out a text file to save the data during the run. For example I write: if (i %% 25) write.table(output,"temporary_output.txt") Later on, when I read in this output and want to calculate things, R complains that

Hi R people! I am looking for some suggestions writing an if-else function. The idea is to characterize different plots containing counts of variables (here parasites). If a plot has a count equal or higher than 4 for any parasite the function should return a 1 else a 0. Later I can loop the function over all plots. Here I have a little subset of my data: VariablePAR Plot1

How can I best achieve the following (works in Splus): filenames <- dos("dir *.sasb7dat /b") What I am asking, more generically, is: how can I capture the output of a DOS command in R? I have tried using system("COMMAND.COM /c dir /b", intern=T, show.output.on.console=T) where intern: a logical, indicates whether to make the output of the command an R

Hi, I just encountered a problem in R that may easily be fixed: If one uses attach for a data.frame e.g. 10000 times and forgets detach, then R gets incredibly slow (less then 10% of the original speed). My system: platform powerpc-apple-darwin6.0 arch powerpc os darwin6.0 system powerpc, darwin6.0 status major 1 minor 6.1 year 2002

(If this only happens in Win 98, I'm sure I could live with it. Just may be helpful to report it, I hope.) Start up R GUI, then > plot(1:4,1:4) # then close manually by clicking X > plot(1:4,1:4) # ditto > methods(plot) sometimes produces normal output and even the following prompt, but then crashes immediately, or more often, crashes immediately with no output. I can do any

Hi, Can anybody show me how to extract all columns in my dataset that are polymorphic? Or phrased in another way I would like to delete all columns that have no more than one letter in it (that are monomorphic). Thank you.

Dear all, I have found the following (for me) incomprehensible behaviour of ISOdate (POSIXct): > ISOdate(1900,6,16) [1] "1900-06-15 14:00:00 Westeurop?ische Sommerzeit" > ISOdate(1950,6,16) [1] "1950-06-16 14:00:00 Westeurop?ische Sommerzeit" Note that in the first case I get the 15th of June back, not the 16th as I would have expected! This happened under R-1.7.1 on
