Uwe and Brian, Thanks for your attention to this one. We currently have the following array of atypical situations in our corporate installation: (1) Central install directory, where I neither have nor can reasonably want Administrator priviledges; (2) IT staff willing to maintain R officially but wants to leave *contributed* packages to user groups if at all possible; (3) Direct access from R

I have comma delimited asci data with each row being in the format : 2006-01-24 02:41:24.00011,1.22930000,5,1.22950000,7 . . . . and i'm trying to use read.zoo ( which is similar to read.table ) to read in the data. the data goes all the way out to milliseconds and i can't figure out what to put for the format field. if i put nothing, then read.zoo gets rid of the the whole time and

I did a ?do.call but i don't think i understand it. if a, b,c,d are numeric vectors then could someone explain the difference between do.call("cbind",list(a,b,c,d)) and cbind(a,b,c,d). or point to an archive on it. the return value of cbind is a matrix or dataframe depending on what is sent in but i don't understand wheen it would be useful to use do.call. i realize it

I have two numeric vectors each of length 17 and each is named the exact same way. so obsnum ppppp ppppm pppmp . dot dot dot...... temp1 is 1417 52 63 85 obsnum ppppp ppppm pppmp . dot dot dot...... temp2 is 1213 41 50 97 what i want to have is a resultant matrix with 2 rows and 16 columns where the 16

i am looping and creating plots which are coming to the screen. i am in linux and remember ( in a previopus life ) i used to use a command so that the next graph n + 1 didn't appear on the screen until i hit the return key after graph n appeared. i thought i remeber using the command unix but when i type unix at the r prompt, it gices me system. it's probably a deprecated command then but

as jim pointed out ( i think we were figuring this out simultaneously. thanks a lot jim ), it looks it does have something to do with the fact that it's a zoo object because below i consider two cases. in the first case, fxdatab is a zoo object and i get the length of temp to be 1. in the second case, fxdatac is a matrix and the results in temp are correct. gabor : i really hate to bother

I think I asked a similar question 3 years ago to the Splus list and I think the answer was no or noone answered so noone should spend more than 5 minutes on this because it could definitely be a waste of time. My question is whether the function below can be rewritten without a for loop. apply is fine if it can be done that way but i doubt it. I call it a lot and would prefer to not loop.

I familarized myelf with kalmanlike and structts which are approaches for building and estimating ( and forecasting ) state space models ( or the equivalent arima models ). back in 2003, gavin simpson wrote an email describing the west and harrison apprach to estimate state space models and asked if anything was out there for using that approach. the goals of this approach are the same as kalman

hi everyone : i'm trying to rotate the x axis labels in my barlot ( yes, since yesterday ) and my prob12matrix is 2 rows and 16 columns and i followed the instructions in the archive "rotate barplot labels". i was really looking forward to seeing my labels turned but the plot just came back with no labels ? can anyone see what might be going on ? it worked when i followed the

Hi All, I created a two variable lm() model slm<-lm(y[1:3000,8]~y[1:3000,12]+y[1:3000,15]) I made two predictions predict(slm,newdata=y[201:3200,]) predict(slm,newdata=y[601:3600,]) there is no error message for either of these. the results are identical, and identical to slm$fitted as well. if this is not the right way to apply the model coefficients to a new set of inputs, what is

i have the following code below and at the end there are some plotting statements. it actualy looks quite nice when you run it but there is just one strange thing happening that don't know how to fix. the three things being plotted are aggfxdata[,logbidask] which has its own set of times ( it's a zoo object ). rollmeanlogbidask which has a subset of the times that aggfxdata has.

Hi, Having several daily wind speed time series I want to extract those consecutive days over and below certain values (i.e. 5 < x <8) Don't know which funtion to use (aggregate, lapply?) and how to do it. Thanks in advance Antonio

this is probably a question for gabor or achim but maybe someone else can answer it in case they are not around ? Ifr you paste the code below ( again you would need the zoo and chron libraries to be installed ), you should get the error "Error in Ops.POSIXt(frequency, freq) : %% not defined for "POSIXt" objects". What I want to do is take the numeric vector, lt, and

this one is not a false alarm like my previous message. i have cut and paste the code below so if anyone could run it would be appreciated. basically, my question is why the horizontal axis of the acf plot is labelled with such huge numbers when the labels should be 1 through 10 since may lag.max = 10 ? i looked at the cdoe of acf but it was pretty much beyond me. i think it has something to

I was working on windows xp for a while and now i am back to linux ( not sure which kind but I can find out if that helps ) and i just have two questions that are really environment R questions rather than R code questions. 1) i use emacs ( or xemacs if need be ) and i vaguely being able to cut a line or a region in an emacs window and then paste it at my R prompt so that it ran. Could I be

I have some time series data like 01/02/1990 0.531 0.479 01/03/1990 0.510 0.522 01/06/1990 0.602 0.604 there is no weekends and holidays. how do I graph them in a single plot that the x-axis is the dates and the y-axis is the time series?

i'm doing a bar plot and there are 16 column variables. is there a way to make the variable names go down instead of across when you do the barplot ? because the names are so long, the barplot just shows 3 names and leaves the rest out. if i could rotate the names 90 degrees, it would probably fit a lot more. or maybe i can use space to make the horizontal width longer ? I looed up ?barlot but

This was sent to me by someone on the R-list ( I don't know her ) but I don't have time to look at this right now so I told her I would send it to the R-list because she said it keeps getting bounced when she sends it. #======================================================================= ==================================================================== I am a bit confused with

would someone be kind enough to paste the code below into an R session ( ir you can paste it into a file and just source it ) and take a look at it ? I must be doing something wrong but i can't find it. I start out with a zoo object that has 100 elements in it. then, i only want to keep the rows in which the bid and the ask are both grester than zero. ( maybe my logic is wrong there ? ).

I am trying to fit a B-spline regression model with a corStruct using gls. I am using bs() and specifying the knots myself. If I make the knots data-dependent, this works but has undesirable side-effects. I prefer to reference an auxilliary variable "knots" in my model formula. It should not be part of the data frame, as it is a vector of a different length. How can this be done? The
