Hi, there: I made a function to do k-fold cross-validation as below. Basically whenever I call cv(test) for example, an error message like: 20Fold 1 Error in model.frame(formula, rownames, variables, varnames, extras, extranames, : variable lengths differ please help. My test dataset has 142 variables, the last one is a categorical response variable. also, i am not sure how to save

Hi, there: I am working on a classification problem by using rpart. when my response variable y is binary, the trees grow very fast, but if I add one more case to y, that is making y has 3 cases, the tree growing cannot be finished. the command looks like: x<-rpart(r0$V142~.,data=r0[,1:141], parms=list(split='gini'), cp=0.01) changing cp or removing parms does not help.

Dear Listers: I have a question on loading objects from workspace: suppose I have two workspaces for two approaches. My old workspace has some objects I need for the new workspace but I don't want to load the whole old workspace and remove most of the old objects and get what I want. Is there an easier way to do like this: load "some needed obj" from old workspace, which has been

Hi, I just get a question (sorry if it is a dumb one) and I "phase" my question in the following R codes: group1<-rnorm(n=50, mean=0, sd=1) group2<-rnorm(n=20, mean=1, sd=1.5) group3<-c(group1,group2) Now, if I am given a dataset from group3, what method (discriminant analysis, clustering, maybe) is the best to cluster them by using R. The known info includes: 2 clusters,

Hi, I searched the archives and did not find a good solution to that. assume I have 10 sets and I want to have the common character elements of them. how could i do that? -- Weiwei Shi, Ph.D Research Scientist GeneGO, Inc. "Did you always know?" "No, I did not. But I believed..." ---Matrix III

Hi, there: I am wondering if there is a quick way to "reverse" a list like this: t0 <- list(a=1, b=1, c=2, d=1) reverst t0 to t1 > t1 $`1` [1] "a" "b" "d" $`2` [1] "c" thanks. -- Weiwei Shi, Ph.D Research Scientist GeneGO, Inc.

Hi there, I need a network builder and it can change the node size and color; I am not sure if network package in R can do this or not. The other functions I wanted have been found in that package. BTW, if there is another package in R relating to this, please suggest too. Thanks, Weiwei -- Weiwei Shi, Ph.D Research Scientist "Did you always know?" "No, I did not. But I

Hi, I am wondering how to make a function Fun to make the following work: t0 <- (paste("hgu133a", "ENTREZID", sep="")) xx <- as.list(Fun(t0)) # make it work like xx<-as.list(hgu133aENTREZID) thanks, -- Weiwei Shi, Ph.D Research Scientist GeneGO, Inc.

Hi, I am writing a generic function and need to check if an arg is a data frame or not. I could use is.null(dim(x)) to get what i want. But i want to know if there is a function which can tell me whether it is a list, a numeric vector, a data frame, a factor and so on. Can R do that? thanks. -- Weiwei Shi, Ph.D Research Scientist GeneGO, Inc. "Did you always know?" "No, I did

hi, is there some good summary on clustering methods in R? It seems there are many packages involving it. And I have two questions on clustering here: 1. Is there a way of evaluate the effecitives (or seperation) of clustering (rather than by visualization)? 2. Is there a search method (like genetic search) which can help find the best subset of attributes which gives best seperation? Thanks,

hi, I tried to keep my workspace as small as possible when i tried to save.image(). Sometimes, I am not sure whether obj in workspace will be needed in future or not. However, I want to delete some "big" ones when I use save.image(). BTW, I know I could use "save", but I would like to know : how to check objects' size (the size when I try to save it in disk) in workspace,

Hi there, I have a statistics question on a classification problem: Suppose I have 1000 binary variables and one binary dependent variable. I want to find a way similar to PCA, in which I can find a couple of combinations of those variables to discriminate best according to the dependent variable. It is not only for dimension reduction, but more important, for finding best way to construct

Hi, I am wondering if there is a parameter in library() so that it can reinforce package to be reloaded. It helps when you test your modified package by yourself. Otherwise, my way is to re-start Rgui. (by reading ?library, I understand this option is not implemented) "...Both functions check and update the list of currently loaded packages and do not reload a package which is already

Dear listers, a little off-topic: I am looking for and compare algorithms which can calculate "distance" or "similarity" between two gene lists with different lengths.

Hi, there: Suppose I have a couple of data.frames and each one has five columns (one for x-axis, two for y-axis and two for std of y's.) There is another dimensions (besides x and y) which is continuous. My question is, how to plot such series of data frames in one plot (thus, 3-dimensional plot) AND multiple 2-D plots. I am not familar with R's plotting utilities. Thanks. -- Weiwei

Dear Listers: For example, if I have a .R source file which has more than one function, and I want to just load only one of the functions, how could I do that? (removing the rest after sourcing is not what I intend b/c in my workspace, I might have some of the rest and I don't want to change my workspace: i.e., I only change my workspace by adding one function from a R source file). Thanks,
