similar to: is there a function like %in% for characters?

Is there a way to get a list of similar words to the ones a user has searched for? So if they search for (in my case) transferaze which has no matches I can get back an array like this [''transferase''] ? I know I can just add ~ on the end to make it fuzzy, but what I''d like is to be able to say "Sorry, no matches for ''transferaze''. Did you

Hello! I have a regular data frame (DATA) with 10 people and 1 column ('variable'). Its cases are people with names ('a', 'b', 'c', 'd', 'e', 'f', etc.). I would like to write a function that would sum up the values on 'variable' of all possible combinations of people, i.e. 1. I would like to write a loop - in such a way that it

Hi, I am searching for the equivalent of the function Index from SAS. In SAS: index("abcd", "bcd") will return 2 because bcd is located in the 2nd cell of the abcd string. The equivalent in R should do this: > myIndex <- foo("abcd", "bcd") #return 2. What is the function that I am looking for? I want to use the return value in substr, like I do

For the following code below, the x-axis ticks are 1,2,3,4,5,6,7 when I was expection them to be 1,2,8,9,10,11,12.

Hi When I use plot(hclust(dist..)...)...) etc to create a dendrogram of a hierarchial cluster analysis, I end up with a vertical tree. What do I need to do to get a horizontal tree? Also, my users are used to seeing trees who's leaves all "end" at the same place (eg. Like in minitab). Is this possible in R? Thanks Mick Michael Watson Head of Informatics Institute for Animal

Dear useRs, I'd like to produce some scatter plots where N units on the X axis are equal to N units on the Y axis (as measured with a ruler, on screen or paper). This approach x <- sample(10:200,40) ; y <- sample(20:100,40) windows(width=max(x),height=max(y)) plot(x,y) is better than plot(x,y) but doesn't solve the problem because of the other parameters (margins etc). Is

I''m sorry - just couldn''t come up with a subject that describes the problem :( Anyway, this is my problem. I have a long list of fields that need to be displayed when a ''show'' is requested on the controller. I''m now doing the list.rhtml and looking for a DRY way to do the following. For each data item, I have 2 fields - one is the item name, the

Hi all, Say I have a matrix A with dimension m x 2 and matrix B with dimension n x 2. I would like to find the row in A that is closest to the each row in B. Here's an example (using a loop): set.seed(1) A <- matrix(runif(12), 6, 2) # 6 x 2 B <- matrix(runif(6), 3, 2) # 3 x 2 m <- vector("numeric", nrow(B)) for(j in 1:nrow(B)) { d <- (A[, 1] - B[j, 1])^2 + (A[,

Hi all, Here's a curosity I ran into since upgrading to 1.6.2 (precompiled for Windows). When using the chm help I get the following warning. I saw a recent post regarding this as a new warning (``dyn.load warning message in R1.6.2 on Windows XP'' dated 1/28/03), but not in the context of the help system. The warning only appears once and does not prevent the chm file from

I just noticed the following in update.formula and I'm wondering if this behavior is the intention of the developers. Here's an example: update(`a: b` ~ x, ~ . + y) Note now that the response has no backticks and is interpreted as a:b (i.e. ":" is now an operator). This is because in update.formula the call to terms.formula uses simplify = TRUE. I'm working with data that

Hi, Anyone can tell me how to generate "A01", "A02", ..., "A99"? paste("A", 1:99, sep="") generates "A1", "A2",..., "A99". This is not what I want. Thanks for the help. -MY [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Hello, i know that i have to use optim, but i'm confused how its possible maximize the sum over all l[i] and get the optimized max(LL), r and alpha?
