similar to: Convert numeric to class

Dear R Developers I'm using the great randomForest package (4.6-7) for many projects and recently stumbled upon a problem when I wrote unit tests for one of my projects: On Windows, there are small numeric deviations when using the 32- / 64-bit version of R, which doesn't seem to be a problem on Linux or Mac. R64 on Windows produces the same results as R64/R32 on Linux or Mac: >

Hi list, One of my co-workers found this problem with 'cor' in his code and I confirm it too (see below). He's using R 2.2.1 under Win 2K and I'm using R 2.3.0 under Win XP. =========================================== > R.Version() $platform [1] "i386-pc-mingw32" $arch [1] "i386" $os [1] "mingw32" $system [1] "i386, mingw32" $status

Greetings R experts, I'm having some difficulty recovering lda objects that I've saved within sublists using the save.image() function. I am running a script that exports a variety of different information as a list, included within that list is an lda object. I then take that list and create a list of that with all the different replications I've run. Unfortunately I've been

Hi! The kernlab function kpca() mentions that new observations can be transformed by using predict. Theres also an example in the documentation, but as you can see i am getting an error there (As i do with my own data). I'm not sure whats wrong at the moment. I haven't any predict functions written by myself in the workspace either. I've tested it with using the matrix version and the

Hello, I'll use part of the iris dataset for an example of what I want to do. > data(iris) > iris<-iris[1:10,1:4] > iris Sepal.Length Sepal.Width Petal.Length Petal.Width 1 5.1 3.5 1.4 0.2 2 4.9 3.0 1.4 0.2 3 4.7 3.2 1.3 0.2 4 4.6 3.1 1.5

I am making a battery of levelplots and wireframes for several fitted models. I wrote a function that takes the fitted model object as the sole argument and produces these plots. Various strange behavior ensued, but I have identified one very concrete issue (illustrated below): when my figure-drawing function includes the addition of points/lines to trellis plots, some of the

Hello, I am puzzled by the behavior of hist() when generating multiple plots per page on the pdf device. In the following example two pdf files are generated. The first results in 4 plots on one pdf page as expected. However, the second, which swaps one of the plot() calls for hist(), results in a 4 page pdf with one plot per page. How might I get the histogram with 3 other scatter

Dear all What is the easy way to drop a variable by using its name (and not its number)? Example: > data(iris) > head(iris) Sepal.Length Sepal.Width Petal.Length Petal.Width Species 1 5.1 3.5 1.4 0.2 setosa 2 4.9 3.0 1.4 0.2 setosa 3 4.7 3.2 1.3 0.2 setosa 4 4.6 3.1

I'm looking for something in R to fit a multivariate linear model robustly, using an M-estimator or any of the myriad of other robust methods for linear models implemented in robustbase or methods based on MCD or MVE covariance estimation (package rrcov). E.g., one can fit an mlm for the iris data as: iris.mod <- lm(cbind(Sepal.Length, Sepal.Width, Petal.Length, Petal.Width) ~ Species,

Dear all The trouble with the current duplicated() function in is that it can report duplicates while searching fromFirst _or_ fromLast, but not both ways. Often users will want to identify and extract all the copies of the item that has duplicates, not only the duplicates themselves. To take the example from the man page: > data(iris) > iris[duplicated(iris), ] ##duplicates while

Hi Dieter and R community: I tried both of these three versions with ylim as suggested, none work: I am getting only single (pch = 16) not overlayed (pch =3) everytime. *vs 1* require(lattice) xyplot(Sepal.Length ~ Sepal.Width | Species , data= iris, panel= function(x, y, subscripts) { panel.xyplot(x, y, pch=16, col = "green4", ylim = c(0, 10)) panel.lmline(x, y, lty=4, col =

Hi, [I sent this to the plyr mailing list (late) last night, but it seems to be lost in the moderation queue, so here's a shot to the broadeR community] Apologies in advance for being more verbose than necessary, but I'm not even sure how to ask this question in the context of plyr, so ... here goes. As meaningless as this might be to do with the `iris` data, the spirit of it is what

Dear all Is there a simpler method to achieve the following: When I obtain an empty data.frame after subsetting, I need for it to contain one line of NAs. Here's a dummy example: > (.xb <- iris[ iris$Species=='zz', ]) [1] Sepal.Length Sepal.Width Petal.Length Petal.Width Species <0 rows> (or 0-length row.names) > dim(.xb) [1] 0 5 > (.xa <-

Hi, I tried several settings by using the "family=gaussian" in "gl1ce", but none of them works. For the case "glm" can work. Here is the error message I got: > glm(Petal.Width~Sepal.Length+Sepal.Width+Petal.Length ,data=iris,family=gaussian()) > gl1ce(Petal.Width~Sepal.Length+Sepal.Width+Petal.Length ,data=iris,family=gaussian()) Error in eval(expr, envir,

In using cor(data.frame), it is annoying that you have to explicitly filter out non-numeric columns, and when you don't, the error message is misleading: > cor(iris) Error in cor(iris) : missing observations in cov/cor In addition: Warning message: In cor(iris) : NAs introduced by coercion It would be nicer if stats:::cor() did the equivalent *itself* of the following for a data.frame:

Dear all I have a simple problem which I thought is easy to solve but what I tried did not work. I want to change character variables to factor in data frame. It goes easily from factor to character, but I am stuck in how to do backwards conversion. Here is an example irisf<-iris irisf[,2]<-factor(irisf[,2]) # create second factor str(irisf) 'data.frame': 150 obs. of 5

Hi there: I have a question about generating mean value of a data.frame. Take iris data for example, if I have a data.frame looking like the following: --------------------- Sepal.Length Sepal.Width Petal.Length Petal.Width Species 1 5.1 3.5 1.4 0.2 setosa 2 4.9 3.0 1.4 0.2

I've just tried to merge 2 data sets thinking they would only keep the common columns, but noticed the column count was not adding up. I've then replicated a simple example and got the same thing happening. q1. why doesn't 'b' have a column name? q2. when I merge, why does the new column 'y' have all values as 5.1? Thanks in advance, Mr. confused > a <-

Dear all, How should I add several variables to a data frame without losing the attributes of the df? Consider the following: > require(Hmisc) > Xa <- iris > label(Xa, self=T) <- "Some df label" > str(Xa) 'data.frame': 150 obs. of 5 variables: $ Sepal.Length: num 5.1 4.9 4.7 4.6 5 5.4 4.6 5 4.4 4.9 ... $ Sepal.Width : num 3.5 3 3.2 3.1 3.6 3.9 3.4 3.4 2.9

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 =
