Hello, In order to increase the performance of a script I'd like to sort very large vectors containing repeated integer values. I'm not interesting in having the values sorted, but only grouped. I also need the equivalent of index.return from the standard "sort" function: f(c(10,1,10,100,1,10)) => grouped: c(10,10,10,1,1,100) ix: c(1,3,6,2,5,4) is there a way

(I expect df$a to be undefind) >df$x >NULL Compare with: > df["aaa"] aaa 1 1 > df["a"]

Hello, I'd like to insert a "wait" function in my code. The reason is that I output timestamped files and I want to ensure that at least 1 second separes 2 files to avoid overwriting the previous file. Thanks, Marc Mamin

Hello, I would like to have a function that retrieve matching strings in the same way as with java.util.regex (java 1.4.2). Example: f('^.*(xx?)\\.([0-9]*)$','abcxx.785') => c('xx','785') First of all: Is it possible to achiev this with grep(... perl=TRUE,value=TRUE )? As I would call this function very often with large data, I'm reluctant to use Sjava

Hello, I'm looking for a fast way to retrieve the position of elements from a vector which match element in another vector. Example va<-c('a','e') vb<-c('a','b','c','d','e','f','e') f(va,vb) should return c(1,5,7) I have 2 different cases: I) my vector vb contains only distinct values II) my vector vb may

I assume that I have missed something fundamental and that it is there in front of me in "An Introduction to R", but I need someone to point me in the right direction. > x1 <- "1159 1129 1124 -5 -0.44 -1.52" > x2 <- c("1159","1129","1124","-5","-0.44","-1.52") > x3 <- unlist(strsplit(x1,"

Dear r-helpers!

Hi, I have a strange issue under W2K; consider these two code extracts: 1) if(condition a){ trellis.device(png,filename = filename_a,... xyplot(... dev.off() } 2) if(condition a){ trellis.device(png,filename = filename_a,... xyplot(... } dev.off() In 1), The png file is generated, but empty; in 2), where I've taken the dev.off clause out of the condition block, my plot is

Hi, As the server www.omegahat.org seems to be down since quite a while, could someone send me the RSXML library for Windows2000 ? Many thanks, Marc Mamin

Dear R users, I was wondering if someone could suggest a few lines of code for my problem. I want to count the number and the length of strings of NA in a vector. For example: vec <- c(1, 2, 1, NA, NA, 1, 2, NA, NA, NA, 3, 4, NA, NA) has 2 strings of NA's of length 2 and 1 string of NA' of length 3. I can easily count the number of NA's per vector, but I am having a hard time

Hello, I'm not sure how to state my question in a technically accurate manner, so I'll use a short example to clarify my problem: Say I have a vector, vec<-c(1,2,3,2) I would like to be able to "reference" the vector by using the string containing the name of the vector - that is, I would like to know of some function which is able to convert the string "vec"

Hallo, I'd like to add grid lines to a lattice graph having 2 series of Y data. See these 2 examples: data(iris) [1] xyplot(Sepal.Length + Sepal.Width ~ Petal.Length , data = iris, allow.multiple = TRUE, scales = "same",type="l", ) [2] xyplot(Sepal.Length + Sepal.Width ~ Petal.Length , data = iris, allow.multiple = TRUE, scales =

In R 2.9.2, > URLdecode(c("a%20b", "b%20c")) [1] "a b" Warning message: In charToRaw(URL) : argument should be a character vector of length 1 all but the first element will be ignored Could URLdecode be modified to actually process all elements of the vector, not just the first? Thanks in advance

Hi, how can I do the following in R?: vec <- c("a", "b", "c") ....magic..... print(str) "abc" or even better: "(a,b,c)"? Cheers -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/merge-character-strings-tp20790116p20790116.html Sent from the R help mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

Hello, I've got a matrix consisting of one column with n rows. Each field in the matrix is filled with a character vector. I would like to convert this matrix into a character vector containing the B03_MAH-type entries from the beginning of each row and a data.frame that contains the numeric data, but I am stuck. I have tried to use textConnection with sep = " " but since

Hello, I've a very long character array (>500k characters) that need to split by '\n' resulting in an array of about 60k numbers. The help on strsplit says to use perl=TRUE to get better formance, but still it takes several minutes to split this string. The massive string is the return value of a call to xmlElementsByTagName from the XML library and looks like this: ... 12345

Hello, which.max() only returns one index value, the one for the maximum value. If I want the two index values for the two largest values, is this a decent solution, or is there a nicer/better R'ish way? max2 <-function(v) { m=which.max(v) v[m] = -v[m] m2=which.max(v) result=c(m, m2) result } Seems to work ok. Thanks, Esmail

For several years, I have been using Splus to analyze an ongoing series of datasets that have a bimodal distribution. I have used the following functions, in particular the ms() function, to estimate the parameters: two means, two standard deviations, and one proportion. Here is the code I've been using in S: btmp.bi <- function(vec, p, m1, m2, sd1, sd2) {

How to do this in an elegant way formatrix/data frame/zoo? mat= 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 vector= 1 2 3 result= 0 1 2 2 3 4 4 5 6 ie 1-1 2-1 3-1 4-2 5-2 6-2 7-3 8-3 9-3 Thanks in advance. _________________________________________________________________ 08 [[alternative HTML version deleted]]
