similar to: dataload for linux

I would like to announce that my DataLoad utility which can be found at: http://www.vsn-intl.com/genstat/downloads/datald.htm has been updated to support R data.frames. DataLoad reads a large variety of data formats (listed on the web page) and can convert these to ASCII or XDR data.frames. Only the Windows and Linux versions are up to date due to the fact that I no longer has access to a Unix

There is a recurring need for importing large csv files quickly. David Baird's dataload is a standalone program that will directly create .rda files from .csv (it also handles many other conversions). Unfortunately dataload is no longer publicly available because of some kind of relationship with Stat/Transfer. The idea is a good one, though. I wonder if anyone would volunteer to

I have Excel files containing data that I would like to move to R. They are in the standard form of a one row header followed by rows of data, one record per row EXCEPT that there are a few rows of comments before the header. The number of rows of comments varies. For Excel files of this form without comments I have had success with: require(RODBC) z <-

Is there any documentation on what kind of SPSS file can and cannot be read by read.spss? Alternatively, how can one modify or "clean" an SPSS file to make it readable by read.spss? What properties must a *.sav file before read.spss can read it? The file in this example is 270KB, with 5 rows and 173 columns. I have no trouble reading larger files with read.spss, so it's not

Thanks to all who have responded. My concern was to be able to write a csv file that can have line feeds in string columns chr(10). Why? Excel allows line feeds chr(10) within cells and line breaks chr(13)+chr(10) at line ending, but the windows version of R automatically replaces \n by \r\n in writing and \r\n by \n in reading (text mode). The clues for a solution came from Brian Ripley and

I am a new R user attempting to convert files from Statistica to R. I can export from Statistica to SPSS .por format, but not to the SPSS .sav format. Is there a procedure for easily accomplishing this, which will allow me to keep variable short and long labels (big surveys LOTS of time to replace all this work). Many thanks for sharing your time and knowledge. steve Dr Steven M Burgess

Have a bit of a situation and hope someone can help shed some light. Have the attached samba config on a RedHat Linux AS4 x86_64bit system and have joined the box to our Windows 2003 ADS environment using: Net ads join -Uadmin. We can map a user to their home directory without issue. The [dataload] or other shares we receive a window on our windows boxes that request identification on

Hi.. I have a program called DATALOAD, used to feed data to an Oracle Webform. I managed to install DATALOAD in wine without a problem, but the program can't see the Oracle browser windows, which is run on Linux (Ubuntu 10.04). Is there any trick in order to allow applications inside Wine to interact with applications in linux? Thanks

I want to be able to exctract a matrix from a data frame that contains repeated measurements for individuals. i.e I want to exctract the second observation for each individual in the study. Is there a way of doing this? I guess what I am trying to ask is if there as a multidimensional version of aggregate() as in aggregate(data, list(data[,"ID"]), function(x) x[2,]) but aggregate will

Dear list, I try to update the prabclus package. R CMD check works nicely, no warnings, good results in all tests.

Hi, Is there a function that does percentile-percentile plot. I do not mean the qqplot. I need to plot the percentiles rather than points themselves. I am hoping for a plot that tells me that the x percentile of one data set corresponds to the y percentile of the other. for example a point on the plot of (.5, .2) will tell me that the 50th percentile of the first data and the 20th percentile of

Dear All, I have the following data.frame `data.frame': 1563 obs. of 4 variables: $ Model :Class 'AsIs' chr [1:40] "Astro" "Astro" "Astro" "Astro" $ Make :Class 'AsIs' chr [1:40] "Chevrolet" "Chevrolet" $ Production : num 11219 12384 1082 5409 5458 ... $ date :`POSIXlt', format: chr

Hi A while back I used gsub to do the following temp<-"000US00231" gsub("something here", "", temp) "00231" I think it involved the `meta characters' somehow. I do not know how to do this anymore. I know strsplit will also work but I remember gsub was much faster. In essence the question is how to delete all characters before a particular

I've waited about two years to write this mail... :) As of Dezember, 24th Mozilla Thunderbird can handle SPECIAL-USE. The patch, which adds the required functionality, has passed review and TBs nightly build was successful. The next official Thunderbird release (version 38, release date 2015-05-19) will very likely ship SPECIAL-USE included. \o/ SPECIAL USE is an IMAP extension. It means

Dear R users, I am trying to install R 1.7.1 on a sparc-sun-solaris2.8 system. although gnu readline is installed and works fine on the parent directory, R is not recognizing it.

Dear all, I am interested in finding out how to change the names of coefficients in the lm function. I have a design matrix which I called "design" where each variate has its own name. However when I issue the command: lm.1<-lm(response~design-1, weights=some.weights) and follow it with: summary(lm.1) it seems to paste as a character the names of the variates with design i.e I
