similar to: Newbie q. need some help understanding this code.

If I run cvec<-c("test.f", "test.sf", "try.g","try.res", "try.f") print(cvec) indx<-grep('\.f',cvec,perl=TRUE) fset<-cvec[indx] print(fset) I get > cvec<-c("test.f", "test.sf", "try.g","try.res", "try.f") > print(cvec) [1] "test.f" "test.sf"

Hi, I'm having a problem using sample() within a function. Basically I get an error reading: Error in sample(v, 1, prob = h) : non-positive probability Can anyone advise me as to the possible origin of this error? Here is my code #Discretised Gillespie algorithm function (From SMfSB, D.J. Wilkinson) gillespied=function (N, T=100, dt=1, ...) { tt=0 n=T%/%dt x=N$M

I spent a lot of time searching and came up empty handed on the following query. Is there an equivalent to rowSums that does product or cumulative product and avoids use of apply or looping? I found a rowProd in a package but it was a convenience function for apply. As part of a likelihood calculation called from optim, I?m computing products and cumulative products of rows of matrices with

Hi, I realized that when I have irregular series to feed into lineChart, the interval of each point in the chart does not seem to take care of irregular time interval I specified in my input xts time series. But rather, lineChart seems to take each point as equal spaced time series. For example, I have the following code: library(quantmod) options(digits.sec=3) t0 <-

Hi, I have a matrix and time series "xmat". I have no problem executing any matrix functions except t(xmat) which gives the following error message. My question if "xmat" is a matrix why I can not execute this matrix function?? converting the time series and matrix into a data frame solves the problem >dim(xmat) [1] 98 7 > t(xmat) Error in "tsp<-"(*tmp*,

Hi, I am using R in one of my courses. I am trying to use R's linprog package to solve to formulate 2-class classification problem as Linear programming problem. For my formulation, I need to set to "cvec" to all 0s. I know the points are linearly separable so an optimal solution "x" does exist, which satisfies all the constraints. But given the constraints and setting

I have a situation where I'm filling out a dataframe from a database. Sometimes the database query doesn't get anything, so I end up trying to place NULL in the dataframe like below. > temp <- NULL > xmat <- as.data.frame(matrix(NA, 2, 3)) > xmat[1, 2:3] <- temp Error in if (m < n * p && (n * p)%%m) stop(gettextf("replacement has %d items, need %d",

Hi, I was wondering if there is a way, or function in R to find confounders. For istance, > a = sample( c(1:3), size=10,replace=T) > X1 = factor( c('A','B','C')[a] ) > X2 = factor( c('Aa','Bb','Cc')[a] ) > Xmat = data.frame(X1,X2,rnorm(10),rnorm(10)) > dimnames(Xmat)[[2]] = c('z1','z2','z3','y') Now,

I have a dataframe that contains time values in the form of yyyy-mm-dd hh:mm i.e. 2010-07-14 13:00. When I convert this to numeric via tvec <- as.numeric(Time) I get a number that is in seconds. So far so good. When I then divide the numeric value by the number of seconds in a day eg tvec/(60*60*24) I only get integer values and not fraction of a day which is what I want. What do I need to

I'm working on the next version of coxme, one step of which is converting the bdsmatrix library from Splus to R. Actually, it is a conversion from S4 methods as first described in the Green book to S4 methods as they currently exist. Mostly it's going ok, but not entirely. 1. The biggest issue is lack of documentation. The online help pages have not been a help; they keep saying

I get different results from match.call(), according to whether a function is dispatched via S3 or S4. Specifically, when I use S4 dispatch in the following example, the match.call() result is of length 1 less than I expect. I need to add an extra comma to get the same results as in the S3 method. --------example setClass("foo",representation("matrix"))

Dear R-Help I am running apply on a data.frame containing factors and numeric columns. It appears to convert are columns into as.character? Does it convert data.frame into matrix? Is this expected? I wish it to recognise numerical columns and round numbers. Can I use another function instead of apply, or should I use a for loop in the case? > summary(xmat) A B

As of rev. 61035 in r-devel, setRefClass() now returns a generator function, as setClass() has done since 2.15.0. The convenient style is now: mEdit <- setRefClass("mEdit",......) xx <- mEdit(data = xMat) instead of xx <- mEdit$new(data = xMat) The returned object still has fields and methods accessible as before. See the "Value" and "Reference Class

Hi, I use sapply very frequently, but I have recently noticed a behavior of sapply which I don't understand and have never seen before. Basically, sapply returns what looks like a matrix, says it a matrix, and appears to let me do matrix things (like transpose). But it is also a list and behaves like a list when I subset it, not a vector (so I can't sort a row for instance). I

Dear R-users I am trying to "vectorize" a function so that it can handle two vectors of inputs. I want the function to use phi (a function), k[1] and t[1] for the first price, and so on for the second, third and fourth price. I tried to do the mapply, but I dont know how to specify to R what input I want to be vectors (k and t)(see in the bottom what I tried). I have read the help file,

Hi all, Thanks to all who offered advice on using F95 in R. Now I'm trying to compile a test package using gfortran, Linux 2.4.21 and R 2.1.0. I was able to successfully compile and use a test F95 routine by setting my environment variables as follows in bash: export PATH=~/bin/:$PATH export F77=gfortran export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=~/bin/irun/lib export GFORTRAN_STDIN_UNIT=-1 Now I'm

Dear R-help list, I am working on an optimization with R by evaluating a likelihood function that contains lots of Gamma calculations (BGNBD: Hardie Fader Lee 2005 Management Science). Since I am forced to implement lower bounds for the four parameters included in the model, I chose the optim() function mith L-BFGS-B as method. But the likelihood often returns inf-values which L-BFGS-B

Hi, I wrote a package for linear programming and want to submit it to CRAN. Since the package 'quadprog' has a function with the name 'solve.QP' to perform Quadratic Programming, I named my (main) function 'solve.LP'. However 'R CMD check' gives one warning: * checking generic/method consistency ... WARNING solve: function(a, b, ...) solve.LP:

Hello, I am using e1071 to run support vector machine. I would like to plot the data with lattice and specifically show the hyperplanes created by the system. I can store the hyperplane as a contour in an object, and I can plot one object at a time. Since there will be thousands of elements to plot, I can't manually add them one by one to the plot, so I tried to loop into them, but only the
