Dear all, given I have data in a data.frame which indicate the number of people in a specific year at a specific age: n <- 10 mydf <- data.frame(yr=sample(1:10, size=n, replace=FALSE), age=sample(1:12, size=n, replace=FALSE), no=sample(1:10, size=n, replace=FALSE)) Now I would like to make a matrix with (in this simple example) 10 columns (for the

Hello, If a matrix with 5 columns has been defined and the first two columns need to be sorted in ascending order, how can this be achieved whilst ensuring the other 3 columns data are in relative position to the sorted columns? Glen Jones [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Hello, I have a matrix with the numbers 0,1 and 9 I would like to write a function that could sum each line skiping everytime a number 9 appears for example [0 1 0 1 1 9 1] the sum would be 4. However I cannot replace 9 by 0 otherwise after the sum is done I wouldn?t be able to distiguish which ones were real zeros and which ones were nines replaced by zero just to sum. Thank you very much --

Dear all, given I have a data.frame in a format like this mydf <- data.frame(age=rep(1:3,5), year=c(rep(1996,3), rep(1997,3), rep(1998,3), rep(1999,3), rep(2000,3)), income=1:15) mydf Now I convert it to some 2D-frequency table like this: mymatrix <- tapply(X=mydf$income, INDEX=list(mydf$age, mydf$year),

Hi, I want to write a matrix (n*m) in a file (Text file) such that the file will be as Result file (below). I use the below command but it write all numbers in one column, > write(paste(matrixname),file="test.txt",append=TRUE) how can I do this? Result file: 5 5 -1 -1 -1 -1 8 8 2 7 6 5 6 6 8 2 7 5 Matrix: [,1] [,2] [,3] [,4] [,5]

Dear all, I have a population with three age-classes, at time t=0 the population is: n.zero <- c(1,0,0) I have a transition matrix A which denotes "fertility" and "survival": A <- matrix(c(0,1,5, 0.3,0,0, 0,0.5,0), ncol=3, byrow=TRUE) To obtain the population at t=1, I calculate: A %*% n.zero To obtain the population t=2, I calculate: A %*% (A %*% n.zero) ... and so

Dear R-Users, given you have been teaching R to students (grad level, mainly social science background, no previous programming experience, 80% know SPSS), what are your experiences concerning the style of teaching? Do you prefer to stand in front of the class like in "normal" lectures and you show them slides? Or do you you explain some concept (for example things like

Dear All, I have these data: exampledata <- c("This is one item", "This is Another One", "And so is This") I would like to find each occurence of a blank space followed by a Capital Letter and replace it by a blank space, a left curly brace, the respective Capital Letter, and then a right curly brace. I thought the following will do: gsub(pattern = "

Dear all, I wanted to make a two-way-table of two variables with a counting variable stored in another column of a dataframe. In version 1.9.1, the behavior is as expected as shown in the simplified example code. > sex <- rep(c("F", "M"), 5) > income <- c(rep("low", 5), rep("high", 5)) > count <- 1:10 > mydf <-

Dear all, This is a rather lengthy message, but I don't know what I made wrong in my real example since the simple code works. I have two variables a, b and a function f for which I would like to calculate all possible combinations of the values of a and b. If f is multiplication, I would simply do: a <- 1:5 b <- 1:5 outer(a,b) ## A bit more complicated is this: f <-

Hi All, I have a 1000x1000000 matrix. The calculation I would like to do is actually very simple: for each row, calculate the frequency of a given pattern. For example, a toy dataset is as follows. Col1 Col2 Col3 Col4 01 02 02 00 => Freq of ?02? is 0.5 02 02 02 01 => Freq of ?02? is 0.75 00 02 01 01 ? My code is quite simple as the following to find the pattern ?02?.

total rails nuby here. I have a table "thumbnails", hence the model Thumbnail. I''m extending the Thumbnail class with a few constants needed for thumbnail cropping: class Thumbnail < ActiveRecord::Base SOURCE_FILE_PATH = "path/to/source" TARGET_FILE_PATH = "path/to/target" TARGET_WIDTH = 100 TARGET_HEIGHT = 100 end Now, in my controller

Dear all, I'd appreciate any hints how to arrange some plots. I have three plots. I would like to arrange them in the following order: - Plot 1 and Plot 2 should be in the upper row - Plot 3 should be in the lower row but centered in the middle. I hope the following sketch will help understanding my problem ================ | === === | || P1| |P2 | | || | | | | | === === |

Hi, I'm trying to create a new S4 class (myMatrix) which for now just extends dgCMatrix (from package Matrix). Then I want to use "[" which is defined in Matrix. Out of the box with "[" (defined in Matrix) I lose the class information and the result is an object of class dgCMatrix. If I specify a "["-method for myMatrix, it is not used because a signature

I have two objects, one matrix and one vector. I want to use my vector to subset certain values out of my matrix. For example: I want to tell R, to select out all rows in myMatrix into a new myMatrix2 IF that corresponding row is less than a 0.5 in myVector. So: myMatrix = a matrix of 8000 by 20 myVector = vector of 8000 myMatrix2 = a matrix of < 8000 by 20 (based on selection criteria in

Hi, I have a dataframe (say myData) and want to get a list (say myList) that contains a matrix for each row of the dataframe myData. These matrices are calculated based on the corresponding row of myData. Using a for()-loop to do this is very slow. Thus, I tried to use apply(). However, afaik apply() does only return a list if the matrices have different dimensions, while my matrices have
