Dear Prof. Ripley, Thank you for reminding me to the possibility to place the dots as first argument. If this is the solution against partial argument matching, we e.g. cannot safely define a plot method which gives a demo plot in case of no object (because we have to obey the class paramter conventions). plot.someobject <- function(x=NULL, ...) # another example would be paramter pairs

Hi All, I am trying to match two character arrays (email lists) using either pmatch(), match() or charmatch() functions. However the function is "missing" some matches due to differences in the cases of some letters between the two arrays. Is there any way to disable case sensitivity or is there an entirely better way to match two character arrays that have identical entries but written

I'm writing wrappers for some functions that change some of the default arguments. I'd rather not list all of the arguments for the low level functions because there are about a dozen wrapper functions, and about 20 arguments to lowlevel. Instead I'm trying something like this: lowlevel <- function(longname = 1) { cat("longname = ", longname, "\n") }

Hi, I'm very new to R, and am not at all a software programmer of any sort. I appreciate any help you may have. I have figured out how to get my data into a dataframe and order it alphabetically according to a particular column. Now, I would like to seperate out certain rows based on partial character matches. Here is an (extremely) abreviated example of my data set Probe Ch1

Hi all, I'm getting the following error from substring: > substr("<I>Jens Oehlschl\xe4gel-Akiyoshi", 1, 100) Error in substr("<I>Jens Oehlschl\xe4gel-Akiyoshi", 1, 100) : invalid multibyte string at '<e4>gel-A<6b>iyoshi' Is that normal / intended? I've tried setting the Encoding/locale to Latin-1/UTF-8 but that does not help. nchar

Dear all, what is the proper way to make the assignment operator generic and define methods depending on the class of the assigned value? Best regards Jens Oehlschl?gel P.S. I vaguely remember that this was possible in S+. In R I tried to no avail: # using this like h<-1:3 gives Error: in `<-.default`(h, 1:3) : invalid (do_set) left-hand side to assignment

Thanks for the quick response Ivan. readLines with encoding='latin1' works for me (on Ubuntu). However I was more concerned with the inconsistency in results between substr and regexpr. I was expecting that if one of them errors because of an unknown encoding then the other should as well. Even better, if regexpr works, why shouldn't substr work as well? Incidentally the analogous

Hello, It's just a strange coincidence that someone posted just very recently a question about matching. I know there are several match function in the base package (such as match, pmatch, charmatch, and the gsub etc) but I can't seem to use them wisely to be able to get what I need. suppose I have the following strings: "tets" "estt" "rtes7"

Dear Ivan, thanks a lot, that is helpful. Still, I feel that default partial matching cripples the functionality of data.frame for larger tables.

Can someone point me to literature and/or R software to solve the following problem: Assume n true scores t measured as x with uncorrelated errors e , i.e. x = t + e and assume each true score to a have a certain amount of correlation with some of the other true scores. The correlation matrix cx of x will have its off-diagonal entries reduced by measurement error compared to the true

In Germany the Unemployment Agency uses a sectioning of the german map that is different from the usual Administrative Boundaries. Some demographic data are available in Administrative Boundaries only, some in Unemployment Boundaries only. I would like to generate estimates in one boundary system of data availabe in the other boundary system, and would appreciate advice concerning the following

I have defined boolean methods for bit and bitwhich objects, for example |.bit <- function(e1,e2) and |.bitwhich <- function(e1,e2) Both methods coerce their arguments to the respective class, however if I do something like bit_obj | bitwhich_obj then I get a warning Warning message: Incompatible methods ("|.bit", "|.bitwhich") for "|" and none of the

Changing the default now would require a long deprecation cycle to give everyone who uses `[.data.frame` and relies on partial matching (whether they know it or not) enough time to
