similar to: Sorting a matrix on two columns

Dear R-Helpers, I have a matrix where the first column is known. The second column is the result of multiplying this first column with a constant "const". The third column is the result of multiplying the second column with "const"..... So far, I did it like this (as a simplified example): nr.of.columns <- 4 myconstant <- 27.5 mymatrix <- matrix(numeric(0), nrow=5,

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

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 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, 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 = "

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

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 there I just want to add 2 to all the values in dataframe. I tried using sapply but it seem to die all the time. Any help would be appreciated.

Dear R-users, I'm struggling in R in order to "squeeze" a matrix without using a for-loop. Although my case is a bit more complex, the following example should help you to understand what I would like to do, but without the slow for-loop. Thanks in advance, Carlo Giovanni Camarda A <- matrix(1:54, ncol=6) # my original matrix A.new <- matrix(nrow=3, ncol=6) # a new

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 | | || | | | | | === === |

Dear all, in the first paragraph in Section 4.3.2 of the "R Data Import/Export Manual", it is written 'We havew tested...'. Most likely it should be 'We have tested...' It is just such a minor thing that I was unsure whether to submit a bug report. I use now R 2.2.1 on Win32 but I guess this is independent of the platform and version. Best, Roland P.S. Thanks for

Dear all, my question might be a bit off-topic. Is there anything like a standard textbook on statistical programming? With that I don't mean anything like MASS, S Programming, Programming with Data, ... (no offense meant, they are fantastic books and each of those three helped me a great deal). Rather in the direction of the "Numerical Recipes" Series addressing how to implement

Dear all, I installed Mandrakelinux 10.1 (community) on my notebook. Before, I used Mandrakelinux 9.1 (and later 10.0 as an update). Now I wanted to compile, as before, R. In the beginning, nothing worked but it seemed to be the problem of GCC 3.4.1 which was shipped with my distribution. After downloading and compiling GCC 3.4.3 everything went smoothly during the compilation of R. The problem

Dear all, I am trying to install the R-2.0.0-1mdk.i586.rpm <http://cran.planetmirror.com/bin/linux/mandrake/10.0/R-2.0.0-1mdk.i586.rpm> file on mandrake 10.1. Since the file is, originally, meant for Mandrake 10.0, it is not surprising me that the installation does not work. The error message that I get can be translated in something like: "impossible to install since the info

Dear R-users, I couldn't find a function or some help in R-project web about the Generalized Singular Value Decomposition. In MatLab there is a simple function for this algebric issue (gsvd). Is there anything like that in R? And, if not, could you help me to apply this method in R?
