shuffling a vector
Hi, I'me trying to write a function that will shuffle a vector. At the moment I'm baically making a vector of randomized indices and then making a new vector from the original one using these random indices. However, is there an alternative (more elegant) method to do this? I tried help.search('shuffle') but it does'nt return anything relevant. Thanks,

attaching data to any object
Hi, is the following possible - in a given session I make a lot of objects and save when exiting. Usually I note down seperately what each object is about. Is it possible to attach data to any object which would essentially be a short note explaining the meaning of it? Thanks, ------------------------------------------------------------------- Rajarshi Guha <rxg218 at psu.edu>

a more elegant approach to getting the majority level
Hi, I have a factor and I would like to find the most frequent level. I think my current approach is a bit long winded and I was wondering if there was a more elegant way to do it: x <- factor(sample(1:0, 5,replace=TRUE)) levels(x)[ which( as.logical((table(x) == max(table(x)))) == TRUE ) ] (The length of x will always be an odd number, so I wont get a tie in max()) Thanks,

a grep/regexpr problem
Hi, I'm trying to parse lines of the form: dan001.hin (0): fingerprint={256, 411, 426, 947, 973, 976} What I need is the sequence of number between {}. I'm using grep as match <- grep("{([0-9,\s]*)}",s,perl=T,value=T) where s is a character vector. But all I get is the whole string s. I tried using regexpr in an attempt to get just the sequence I wanted: match <-

using a string as the formula in rlm
Hi, I am trying to build a series of rlm models. I have my data frame and the models will be built using various coulmns of the data frame. Thus a series of models would be m1 <- rlm(V1 ~ V2 + V3 + V4, data) m2 <- rlm(V1 ~ V2 + V5 + V7, data) m3 <- rlm(V1 ~ V2 + V8 + V9, data) I would like to automate this. Is it possible to use a string in place of the formula? I tried doing: fmla

column sorting a matrix with indices returned
Hi, I'm trying to translate some Matlab code to R and I'm trying to implement the behavior of Matlab's sort() which when applied to a matrix will sort the columns returning the column sorted matrix as well as a matrix of permuted indices. Doing: > x <- matrix(c(3,4,2,6,3,4,8,7,5), nr=3) > x [,1] [,2] [,3] [1,] 3 6 8 [2,] 4 3 7 [3,] 2 4 5

using object reference
Hi, I have read the previous thread on using references to objects in a function but the solution suggested does'nt seem to be working. basically I have an object x which has an attribute a containing some text. I would like to pass x to a function which will change the attribute a with some new text and have the change visible when the function exits. something like attr(x,'a')

question about predictions with linear models
Hi, this question is probably very obvious but I just cant see where I might be going wrong. I'm using the lm() function to generate a linear model and then make predictions using a different set of data. To generate the model I do (tdata & pdata are matrices of observations and parameters, tdepv, pdepv are response vectors) x <- as.data.frame(tdata) x$tdepv <- tdepv

a question about scoping functions
Hi, I've written some helper functions which are used by another function (called func()). When func() is sourced I dont want the helper function to be seen in the global namespace (as shown by ls()). Currently what I have done is: func <- function() { helper1 <- function() { ... } helper2 <- function() { ... } # some code } Is there anyway to take the functions

sampling without repetition
Hi, I'm trying to write a function that will divide a given range of numbers into 3 sets using sample(), without repetition. Currently I'm trying this approach: r <- 1:10 s1 <- sample(r,size=3) Next, I want to remove the selected elements from r and sample() from the remainder. r <- r[ -(r=s1) ] s2 <- sample(r,size=3) When I go to remove the elements contained in s2 from

efficient submatrix extraction
Hi, I have a matrix of say 1024x1024 and I want to look at it in chunks. That is I'd like to divide into a series of submatrices of order 2x2. | 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 ... | | 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 ... | | 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 ... | | 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 ... | ... So the first submatrix would be | 1 2 | | 1 2 | the second one would be | 3 4 | | 3 4 | and so on. That is I want the matrix to be evenly divided

frechet distance
Hi, is there any package (or source code snippet) that will evaluate the Frechet distance for curves represented as sets of points? Searching around only threw up references to a Frechet distribution.

matrix of 1,0's to a data.frame of factors
Hi, I have an integer matrix consisting of 1's and 0's and I would like to convert this to a data.frame where each column of the matrix becomes a factor variable. Now, some columns of the matrix have only 1's or only 0's as a result there is only 1 level for those columns in the data.frame. However it is required that each factor have 2 levels. So my solution is: m <-

speeding up a pairwise correlation calculation
Hi, I have a data.frame with 294 columns and 211 rows. I am calculating correlations between all pairs of columns (excluding column 1) and based on these correlation values I delete one column from any pair that shows a R^2 greater than a cuttoff value. (Rather than directly delete the column all I do is store the column number, and do the deletion later) The code I am using is: ndesc

subsetting a matrix
Hi, I'm trying to take a set of rows and columns out of a matrix. I hve been using the index aray approach. My overll matrix is X and is 179 x 65. I want to take out 4 columns and 161 rows. Thus I made a 161 x 2 array I and filled it up with the row,col indices. However doing, X[ I ] gives me a vector of the extracted elements. Is there anyway I can coerce this into a 161 x 4 matrix?

list structure question
Hi, I have a list in which element is a vector (all of the same length and all numeric). I want to find the mean of the first elements of the vectors, the mean of the second elements of the vectors and so on. Currently I convert the list to a data.frame and apply rowMeans(). But is there a way to to do this directly on the list? I seem to recall a post in which there was such a function (or

graph algorithms in R

a question about box counting
Hi, I have a set of x,y data points and each data point lies between (0,0) and (1,1). Of this set I have selected all those that lie in the lower triangle (of the plot of these points). What I would like to do is to divide the region (0,0) to (1,1) into cells of say, side = 0.01 and then count the number of cells that contain a point. My first approach is to generate the coordinates of these

variances of values predicted using a lm object
Hi, is there a function in R that will give me the variances of a predicted values obtained using predict.lm(). If no function is available I would need to calculate them myself - which involves taking the inverse of X'X (' indicating transpose) where X is my model matrix. I know that calculating an inverse directly is not a good idea in general - could anybody suggest a way around

saving plots as objects?
Hi I had two questions regarding plots: * Is there are way to save a plot in the form of an object such that it could be displayed/modified later? * I've been using Minitab for some work and I found the burshing capability very handy (it allows me to choose a point on the graph and displays the data associated with it - x,y and other user associated data). I know that this feature is
