I'm trying to apply a function defined in the VW R docs, that attemps to convert a data.table object to Vowpal Wabbit format. In the process i'm getting the error in printf mentioned in the subject. The original function is here: https://github.com/JohnLangford/vowpal_wabbit/blob/master/R/dt2vw.R Below there is a small example that reproduces the error. The function works great with

Wouldn't it make sense to have this in the man page? The 8192-byte limitation for 'fmt' is mentioned but not this one. Thanks, H.

Hello, I am trying to select the following headers from a data frame but when I try and run the command it executes halfway through and give me an error at V188 and V359.

Dear list: A datafile was sent to me that is very large (92890 x 1620) and is *very* sparse. Instead of leaving the entries with missing data blank, each cell with missing data contains a dot (.) The data are binary in almost all columns, with only a few columns containing whole numbers, which I believe requires 2 bytes for the binary and 4 for the others. So, by my calculations (assuming 4

Hi. I have a simple (I think) question My dataset have these variables: names(data) [1] "v1" "v2" "v3" "v4" "v5" "v6" "v7" "v8" "v9" "v10" "v11" "v12" "v13" "v14" "v15" "v16" "v17"

Is there a way to handle the widths of values being written to a file using wrtite.fwf() ? For example, I used read.fwf(file, width.vector) to read a file. After making the necessary data manipulation, I want to write the data to a new file in the same width.vector format. Is there a way to specify this? Thanks in Advance Aparna [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Hello, Why do I get preceding "X." (that is a and X followed by a period) for negative numbers and an "X" for positive numbers when I read a csv file? Am I stuck with this?

Dear List: When I click on the link to download a reference manual for a package on cran, I get an error message that the file is damaged and could not be repaired.

Hi everyone, my apologies if I'm overlooking something obvious in the documentation. I'm relatively inexperienced with the (awesome) ff package. My goal is to use the read.table.ffdf() function to call the read.fwf() function and pass through the colClasses and comment.char arguments. The code below shows exactly what doesn't work for me. If the colClasses and comment.char

I am new to R and would like to get some practice analyzing multilevel data. I wonder if anyone can point me to a sample data set and command lines that I might replicate for a sample session. I would then compare my output with HLM output. Any help is appreciated. ------ Harold C. Doran Director of Research and Evaluation New American Schools 675 N.

Full_Name: Emmanuel Paradis Version: 2.1.1 OS: Linux Submission from: (NULL) (193.49.41.105) read.fwf(..., header = TRUE) does not work properly since: 1/ the original header is printed on the console and not in FILE; 2/ the different 'parts' of the header should be separated with tabs to work with the call to read.table.

Dear List: I have a question regarding an MDS procedure that I am accustomed to using. I have searched around the archives a bit and the help doc and still need a little assistance. The package isoMDS is what I need to perform the non-metric scaling, but I am working with similarity matrices, not dissimilarities. The question may end up being resolved simply. Here is a bit of substantive

Dear List I apologize for the multiple postings. After being in the weeds on this problem for a while I think my original post may have been a little cryptic. I think I can be clearer. Essentially, I need the following a <- c(2,3) b <- c(4,5,6) (2*4) + (2*5) + (2*6) + (3*4) + (3*5) +(3*6) But I do not know of a built in function that would do this. Any suggestions? -----Original
