Dear all, can anybody help me with the program below? The function predict.lda seems to be defined but cannot be used by errortest. The R version is 1.7.1 Thanks in advance, Stefan ---------------- library("MASS"); library("ipred"); data(iris3); tr <- sample(1:50, 25); train <- rbind(iris3[tr,,1], iris3[tr,,2], iris3[tr,,3]); test <- rbind(iris3[-tr,,1],

Dear R users, I have a problem computing time differences using R. I have a date that are given using the following format: 20080620.00, where the 4 first digits represent the year, the next 2 ones the month and the last 2 ones the day. I would need to compute time differences between two vectors of this given format. I tried around trying to change this format into any type of time serie

Dear R-experts I would like to read all files from a directory, the files have names "myname0001.txt" etc. I paste the directory plus file names and use "read.delim()". My problem is that some file names are missing, so I get an error and my program stops. Is there a way to check for a null pointer analogous to C, so that I can simply skip non-existent filenames? Please do

Dear all, Is there a test in R for the randomness of a sequence of observations (e.g. to test the random number generator)? Specifically I am looking for autocorrelations which are not necessarily linear in nature, which the acf function does not seem to be flexible enough to detect as it tests for linear autocorrelation. Thanks in advance, Paul.

Hi there fellow R-users, I'm stuck on this seemingly trivial problem. All I want to coerce a character string into a command. For example: x<-rnorm(20) y<-rnorm(20) str<-"lm(y~x)" I want to evaluate the "str" command. I have tried eval(as.expression(str)) But it doesn't seem to work. I am aware of the call command, but for reasons I won't go

Hi there fellow R-users, Does anyone know if there exists a package for associated rules data mining (market basket analysis) in R. I have tried searching CRAN but with no luck.

Hi there fellow R-users, Can anyone tell me if there exits an R package that deals with serial correlation in the residuals of an lm model. Perhaps, using the Cochrane Orcutt or Praise Wilson methods? Thanks, Wayne Dr Wayne R.

Hello there fellow R-users, I am using the RODBC functionality to query a database. I am trying to read in a columns of strings which have a character field lengths greater than 255. The data.frame that I recieve back from the RODBC query only contains the first 255 characters (the rest having been truncated). Any help on how to solve this problem would be greatly appreciated.

I'm on R 2.1.0. In the "source" function there is a bug preventing the proper use of the chdir option (which simply doesn't work). The problem is that in the function the following line occurs: file <- file(file, "r", encoding = encoding) This overwrites the variable "file" and later causes the check if (chdir && is.character(file)

Hello All, Does anyone out there know a way to decompose time series objects with missing values. A simple "na.omit" will not work since it does not preserve the time differences between succesive observations. Thanks in advance, Wayne Dr Wayne R.
