Hi, I was wondering if anyone has had good experiences using R on Linux with dual AMD64 (Opteron) processors. I'm thinking of buying a couple of such servers, but I'd like to make sure R would work fine. The "R Installation and Administration" guide notes that there may be some problems with BLAS libraries. That's all I could find about R on AMD64. Please share your

Hi, I need to multiply all columns in a matrix so something like apply(x,2,sum), but using multiplication should do. I have tried apply(x,2,"*") I know this must be trivial, but I get: Error in FUN(newX[, i], ...) : invalid unary operator The help for apply states that unary operators must be quoted. I tried single quotes too, with the same results. Thanks, -Jose -- Jose

Hi All, I recently found gmane http://gmane.org/ It's a system to covert mail to news and back, with the nice property of keeping a searchable archive... Very convenient if you are subscribed to many lists and don't want to have your mail box cluttered. I use it to read several mailing lists already, but R is not available there. I wonder if the admins know about gmane and if they

Hi, I'm trying to use a similarity matrix (triangular) as input for pam() or fanny() clustering algorithms. The problem is that this algorithms can only accept a dissimilarity matrix, normally generated by daisy(). However, daisy only accept 'data matrix or dataframe. Dissimilarities will be computed between the rows of x'. Is there any way to say to that your data are already a

Hi, Has anyone run any R vs Python (numpy) tests? I'd love to see what the differences performance-wise are, specially handling large sparse matrices. Since both rely on external C code, there might not be much of a difference. If you know and use both languages, what are the main differences and what made you stick to one over another? I also noticed that there are strong libraries

Hi, I got the following error. Sorry but this time I couldn't reproduce it with a simple chunk of code: .TM.repl.i.2col(): drop 'matrix' case ... Error in .nextMethod(x = x, i = i, j = j) : 'i' has no integer column number should never happen; please report In addition: Warning messages: 1: Ambiguous method selection for "%*%", target

Hi, I'm finding that readMM() cannot read a file written with writeMM(). Example: library(Matrix) a = Matrix(c(1,0,3,0,0,5), 10, 10) a = as(a, "CsparseMatrix") writeMM(a, "kk.mm") b = readMM("kk.mm") Error in validObject(.Object) : invalid class "dgTMatrix" object: all row indices must be between 0 and nrow-1 Thoughts?

Hi, I'm attending summer School at UCLA (IPAM) on "probabilistics models of cognition". I have been an R-user since v. 1.4.1, but was trained in the frequentist tradition (as most psychologists!). I found that all faculty here use matlab and Murphy's bayes net toolbox. I have not had the need to use matlab before, and would love to stick to R for graphics models and

(Extremely sorry, disregard previous email as I hit send before pasting the latest version of the example; this one is smaller too) Dear R users, I want to apply a function that takes two vectors as input to all pairs (combinations (nrow(X), 2))of matrix rows in a matrix. I know that ideally, one should avoid loops in R, but after reading the docs for do.call, apply, etc, I still don't know

Hi All, After compiling R-1.7.1 on a P4 running a default install of redHat 9 (which of course has X11), I get the following error: > x11() Error in x11() : X11 is not available This is surprising, because in ./configure I gave: ./configure \ --enable-R-shlib \ --with-x \ --with-lapack \ --with-gnome Any idea why this is happening? It also occurs if i install the rpm from CRAN... Thanks a

Hi all, It's me again with compiling questions :) Even though I have libpng and zlib: rpm -q libpng libpng-1.2.2-8 and rpm -q zlib zlib-1.1.4-8.8x my newly-compiled R doesn't support png. > No png support in this version of R Anyone knows why?

Dear R users, I need to normalize a bunch of row vectors. At a certain point I need to divide a matrix by a vector of norms. I find that the behavior of Matrix objects differs from normal matrix objects. Example the following code examples differ only in xnormed changing from normal to Matrix object: x = matrix(1:12,3,4) x = as(x, "CsparseMatrix") xnorms = sqrt(colSums(x^2))

I have a pretty large sparse matrix of integers: > dim(tasa) [1] 91650 37651 I need to add one to it in order to take logs, but I'm getting the following error: > tasa = log(tasa + 1) CHOLMOD error: problem too large Error in asMethod(object) : Cholmod error `problem too large' I have 2 Gb of RAM, and the current workspace is barely 300mb. Is there any workaround to this?

Hi, I'm finding a very strange error. For no good reason my R console (Rgui.exe, R 2.5.0, under win XP) stops producing anything meaningful, and just returns: Error: bad value to _whatever_ I enter. It starts doing this after a while, not immediately when launched. I have to restart R when this happens. No idea why. I didn't change anything in the R config that I remenber. Any

Hi, I'm running this for a simulation study, so many combinations of parameter produce many predictions that I need to correlate with data. The problem ---------------- I'm using rating data with 3 to 5 categories (e.g., too low, correct, too high). The underlying continuous scales should be normal, so I chose the polychoric correlation. I'm using library(polychor) in its

Hi All, If you use vim to edit R code, you may be interested in this. I have put together a personalized syntax file, some code templates, and a way to send code from Vim to R using autoHotKeys (windows). http://www.andrew.cmu.edu/user/jquesada/RvimSuite/instructions.html Actually, the little autoHotKeys can be useful even if you don't use vim just to send the example R code from the help

Dear All, Is there any simple way to way to produce "rank", for a given list, but in a descending order? E.G: x = list(a=c(1,5,2,4)); rank(x$a); produces 1,4,2,3 However I am looking for a way to generate (4,1,3,2). It would be particularly nice if the proposed solution has all the niceties of rank function (like NA handling and ties.method functionality) TIA Manoj

Dear all, I'm starting to learn R, but I'm already programing for a while, using ViM as editor. Therefore I'd like to be able to use R together with ViM. My question now is, whether there are already people out there knowing how to do this in a similar easy way as with Emacs, and if those would be willing to share this knowledge. I did already research on the web on this topic,
