Is there anyway to preset date formats? I have a date from a cover.dbf that is shown as this: > cover$FINALREPOR [1] "2003-06-24" The numeric value in cover$FINALREPOR is 12227. I'd rather not create another vector to hold the properly formatted date. When I put this in a WordPerfect merge, I want the date to be June 24, 2003. I could take care of the problem in a

How can I stop the following warning from occuring? invalid factor level, NAs generated in: "[<-.factor"(`*tmp*`, iseq, value = structure(1, .Label = "12", class = "factor")) The Label messages are for "5", "8", "12" and "46". I want the NAs to be generated as needed. Is this causing R to slow down by generating the warning

I am using rbind to add one list with one row to another master list. The problem is that not all columns exist in both lists. What methods would you recommend to reorder one list based on the column names of another? If both sets have the same order and columns, I can then use rbind. I can live with columns being added to the master list set it makes the task easier using something like

In this simple function, how can I pass strings for index and column names to the function? I've posted this type of question before and received no response. Maybe this example will be easier to understand and troubleshoot. ds <- function(myds, vec) {myds[[vec]]*2} ds1 <- c(X=list(1:10), Y=list(11:20)) ds(get("ds1"),get("Y")) khobson at odot.org Kenneth Ray

Please allow me an unusual question. Is there any way that R can be closely integrated with a Microsoft Powerpoint presentation? I would like to embed R calculations in Powerpoint so that I will start Powerpoint, be prompted to enter some parameters, and an R function will run and return values and graphs.

For windows, how can I list only the folders in some folder? I was thinking that dir() and file.info() with isdir==TRUE being something that might work. These folders or directories are numerically named with no dot extension names or other characters. Typically, these are 3132, 3334, ... Here is what I tried. The last line is where I need more work. pData="C:/Myfiles/R/Data/" setwd

I am a new user of R so please bear with me. I have reviewed some R books, FAQs and such but the volume of material is great. I am in the process of porting my current SAS and SVS Script code to Lotus Approach, R and WordPerfect. My question is, can you help me determine the best R method to implement the Hoaglin Outlier Method? It is used in the Appendix A and B of the fo llowing link.

I use R to generate data and I need to estimate the data by egarch (that doesn't have in R). So how I can call egarch from SAS in R. Regards, luck

I'm new to R and not an experienced writer of programs, which may help explain my question. I wish to create a table or data frame which contains the quantiles of the columns in the data frame DF. I wish to produce a table T where T[1] shows me the quantiles of column DF[1] right up through the entirety of DF. Tried several approaches with limited success. This looked like the best

Question : Is it possible to create a function, using a for ifelse function, inside sapply, to compare the values in one data frame to a set of upper and lower limits in another data frame, same number of columns., Take the values which meet the requirements "TRUE" and create a new data frame or table containing the filtered data? Can you give me a shove in the correct direction?

Hi I have som financial tick data that i have converted in to 45 min bars. These are unequally spaced in time. I wonder if it is possible to plot these like bars as the plotOHLC does. As I have understood plotOHLC uses class(mts) that must be equally spaced? Regards Paer [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

The plotOHLC function in the tseries package is useful to plot timeseries of various financial assets with open/high/low/close data. I had often wondered if it could be made to run a little faster.

Is there a way to use full information maximum likelihood (FIML) to estimate missing data in the sem package? For example, suppose I have a dataset with complete information on X1-X3, but missing data (MAR) on X4. Is there a way to use FIML in this case? I know lavaan and openmx allow you to do it, but I couldn't find anything in the documentation for the sem package. Thanks! -- Dustin Fife
