similar to: errors when trying to rename data frame columns

Dear useRs, I have a function that creates several global objects with assign("obj",obj,.GlobalEnv), and which I need to run iteratively in another function. The code is similar to f <- function(...) { assign("obj",obj,.GlobalEnv) } fct <- function(...) { for (i in 1:1000) { ... f(...) ...obj... rm(obj) #code fails without this line } } I don't understand

Dear R users, I have a column with dates (character) in a data frame: 12-Jan-01 11-Jan-01 10-Jan-01 9-Jan-01 8-Jan-01 5-Jan-01 and I need to convert them to (Julian) dates so that I can sort the whole data frame by date. I thought it would be very simple, but after checking the documentation and the list I still don't have something that works. 1. as.Date returns the error below. What am I

Dear useRs, I have a data frame and I want to plot all rows. Each row is represented as a line that links the values in each column. The plot looks like this: dfr <- data.frame(A=sample(1:50,10),B=sample(1:50,10), C=sample(1:50,10),D=sample(1:50,10)) xa <- 10*1:4 plot(c(10,40),c(0,50)) for (i in 1:nrow(dfr)) { lines(xa,dfr[i,],pch=20,type="o") } Things get more complicated

Classification: UNCLASSIFIED Caveats: NONE Thanks for your quick response. The program you mentioned below available from R is based on number of runs (up or down) not based on a longest length of runs of same events. To be more specific, for example, from a series, HHTHTTTTHHH, the number of runs are 5, and the longest length of runs of the same events is 4. I'll check for the website you

Dear R community, I tried to optimized my R code by using Rprof. In my R code I'm using MySQL database connections intensively. After a bunch of queries R fails with the following error message: Error in .Call("RS_MySQL_newConnection", drvId, con.params, groups, PACKAGE = .MySQLPkgName) : RS-DBI driver: (could not connect mylogin@mydatabase on dbname "myDB"

Greets to the list! I am aware that this topic has been discussed several times. And I've read quite some related posts [1]. Yet, can't seem to give a solution to my problem. I have 6 data frames consisting of 6 rows x 7 columns put together from other data.frames. Something like: a b c d e f g v1 # # # # # # # v2 # # # # # # # v3 # # # # # # # v4 # # # # # # # v5 # # # # # # # v6

Hello, Please forget me if I am asking something that is well documented. I have read documentation but there are points that are not clear for me. I am not expert in R nor Databases, but if someone direct me to a tutorial, I will appreciate it.. 1. In my understanding, I can install and use RMySQL withouth having to install MySQL in my PC, to have access to and to create new tables . Is this

Dear useRs, How come the first attempt to sort a POSIXt vector fails (Error: non-atomic type in greater), while the second succeeds? (Code inserted below.) The documentation says that POSIXt is used to allow operations such as subtraction, so I'd expect sorting to work. Is this perhaps an OS issue? (I run R 2.0.1 on Win xp.) Thank you, b. #------------code test <- c("2005-02-08

Dear useRs, Given this code I end up with a list of class "by": a <- sample(1:5,200,replace=TRUE) b <- sample(c("v1","v2","v3"),200,replace=TRUE) c <- sample(c(11,22,33),200,replace=TRUE) data <- runif(200) grouped <- by(data,list(a,b,c),function(x) {c(min=min(x),max=max(x), median=round(median(x),digits=2),mean=round(mean(x),digits=2))})

Hi All, My group is looking for any suggestions on what to purchase to achieve the most powerful number crunching system that $50k can buy. The main application that will be used is R so input on what hardware benefits R most will be appreciated. The requirements are that it be a single standalone server (i.e. not a cluster solution), and it that must be able to run unix/linux. If

Dear useRs, I have a simple/RTFM question about XML parsing. Given an XML file, such as (fragment) <A>100</A> <B>23</B> <C>true</C> how do I import it in a data frame or list, so that the values (100, 23, true) can be accessed through the names A, B and C? I installed the XML package and looked over the documentation... however after 20 minutes and a couple of

Dear useRs, I'm wondering why the for() loop below runs slower as it progresses. On a Win XP box, the iterations at the beginning run much faster than those at the end: 1%, iteration 2000, 10:10:16 2%, iteration 4000, 10:10:17 3%, iteration 6000, 10:10:17 98%, iteration 196000, 10:24:04 99%, iteration 198000, 10:24:24 100%, iteration 200000, 10:24:38 Is there something that can be done about

A function I've been using for a while returned a surprising [to me, given the data] error recently: Error in plot.window(xlim, ylim, log, asp, ...) : Logarithmic axis must have positive limits After some digging I realized what was going on: x <- c(10460.97, 10808.67, 29499.98, 1, 35818.62, 48535.59, 1, 1, 42512.1, 1627.39, 1, 7571.06, 21479.69, 25, 1, 16143.85, 12736.96,

Dear List, I'm trying to use R under Windows on a huge database in MySQL via ODBC (technical reasons for this...). Now I want to read tables with some 160.000.000 entries into R. I would be lucky if anyone out there has some good hints what to consider concerning memory management. I'm not sure about the best methods reading such huge files into R. for the moment I spilt the whole

Hi, there: I am looking for a regression modeling (like regression trees) approach for a large-scale industry dataset. Any suggestion on a package from R or from other sources which has a decent accuracy and scalability? Any recommendation from experience is highly appreciated. Thanks, Weiwei -- Weiwei Shi, Ph.D "Did you always know?" "No, I did not. But I believed..."

Dear R users, I'm interested in a combination of a scatterplot and an image graph. I have two large vectors. Because in the scatterplot some areas are sparsely and others densely populated, I want to see the points, and I also want their color to be changed based on their density (similar to a heat map). Is there a function that can do that? Thank you, b.

Dear R users, I have a data frame which I create with read.csv and then order by date: d <- na.omit(read.csv(...)) d <- d[order(as.Date(as.character(d$Date), format="%d-%b-%y"), decreasing=F, na.last=F),] My problem is that even though the data frame is ordered as requested, the old row numbers are preserved. For example: * Before sorting: > d[1:3,] Date Amt 1

Dear R users, I have a function (below) which encompasses several tests. However, when I run it, only the output of the last test is displayed. How can I ensure that the function root(var) will run and display the output from all tests, and not just the last one? Thank you, b. root <- function(var) { #---Phillips-Perron PP.test(var, lshort = TRUE) PP.test(var, lshort = FALSE)

For a financial data set with large variance, I'm trying to find the outlier threshold of one variable "x" over a two year period. I qqplot(x2001, x2002) and found a normal distribution. The latter part of the normal distribution did not look linear though. Is there a suitable method in R to find the outlier threshold of this variable from 2001 and 2002 in R?
