Hi, there: I am wondering if there is a quick way to "reverse" a list like this: t0 <- list(a=1, b=1, c=2, d=1) reverst t0 to t1 > t1 $`1` [1] "a" "b" "d" $`2` [1] "c" thanks. -- Weiwei Shi, Ph.D Research Scientist GeneGO, Inc.

Hi, I searched the archives and did not find a good solution to that. assume I have 10 sets and I want to have the common character elements of them. how could i do that? -- Weiwei Shi, Ph.D Research Scientist GeneGO, Inc. "Did you always know?" "No, I did not. But I believed..." ---Matrix III

Hi there, I need a network builder and it can change the node size and color; I am not sure if network package in R can do this or not. The other functions I wanted have been found in that package. BTW, if there is another package in R relating to this, please suggest too. Thanks, Weiwei -- Weiwei Shi, Ph.D Research Scientist "Did you always know?" "No, I did not. But I

Hi, there: Assume I have a dataframe with rownames like A with rownames like a to e, > A [,1] [,2] a 1 6 b 2 7 c 3 8 d 4 9 e 5 10 when I use A[1,], I lost the rowname for it, like below. How could I keep it? Is there an easy way instead that I have to modify by myself after I used A[1,] manually. > A[1,] [1] 1 6 Thanks, W. -- Weiwei Shi, Ph.D Research

hi, if I have 20 x 3 data.frame, how to split it into 10 x 6 (moving the lower part of 10x3 to column) or 5 x 12 thanks -- Weiwei Shi, Ph.D Research Scientist GeneGO, Inc. "Did you always know?" "No, I did not. But I believed..." ---Matrix III

hi, is there some good summary on clustering methods in R? It seems there are many packages involving it. And I have two questions on clustering here: 1. Is there a way of evaluate the effecitives (or seperation) of clustering (rather than by visualization)? 2. Is there a search method (like genetic search) which can help find the best subset of attributes which gives best seperation? Thanks,

Hi, I am wondering how to make a function Fun to make the following work: t0 <- (paste("hgu133a", "ENTREZID", sep="")) xx <- as.list(Fun(t0)) # make it work like xx<-as.list(hgu133aENTREZID) thanks, -- Weiwei Shi, Ph.D Research Scientist GeneGO, Inc.

Dear listers, a little off-topic: I am looking for and compare algorithms which can calculate "distance" or "similarity" between two gene lists with different lengths. Any paper, any implementation in R and any suggestion is welcome! Thanks, -- Weiwei Shi, Ph.D Research Scientist GeneGO, Inc. "Did you always know?" "No, I did not. But I believed..."

Hi, there: Suppose I have a couple of data.frames and each one has five columns (one for x-axis, two for y-axis and two for std of y's.) There is another dimensions (besides x and y) which is continuous. My question is, how to plot such series of data frames in one plot (thus, 3-dimensional plot) AND multiple 2-D plots. I am not familar with R's plotting utilities. Thanks. -- Weiwei

Hi, I have a question on read.table. I have a dataset with 273,000 lines and 195 columns. I used the read.table to load the data into R: trn<-read.table('train1.dat', header=F, sep='|', na.strings='.') I found it takes forever. then I run 1/10 of the data (test) using read.table again. And this time it finished quickly. So, there might be something wrong in my data

Hi, there: I spent some time on this but I think I really cannot figure it out, maybe I missed something here: my data looks like this: > dim(trn3) [1] 7361 209 > dim(val3) [1] 7427 209 > mg.rf2<-randomForest(x=trn3[,1:208], y=trn3[,209], data=trn3, xtest=val3[, 1:208], ytest=val3[,209], importance=T) my test data has 7427 observations but after prediction, > dim(mg.rf2$votes)

Hi, I have a dataset and want to build a generalized linear model on it. Unfortunately, complete.cases(df) returns null, which means I have to find a way to "fill" those missings. One way is following my previous post to use median to replace(or use most freq. of level to replace for catergorical case), but I am wondering if there are other ways, when glm or something like it is

hi, i have another question on tapply: i have a dataset z like this: 5540 389100307391 2600 5541 389100307391 2600 5542 389100307391 2600 5543 389100307391 2600 5544 389100307391 2600 5546 381300302513 NA 5547 387000307470 NA 5548 387000307470 NA 5549 387000307470 NA 5550 387000307470 NA 5551 387000307470 NA 5552 387000307470

hi, i have a data frame like this: 0.3 0.7 0.4 0.8 i am trying to plot this data frame and each cell is filled with different colors based on the value.

Hi, I am using dlda algorithm from supclust package and I am wondering if the output can be a continuous probability instead of discrete class label (zero or one) since it puts some restriction on convariance matrix, compared with lda, while the latter can. thanks, -- Weiwei Shi, Ph.D Research Scientist GeneGO, Inc.

Hi, forgive me if it is due to my "laziness" :) I am wondering if there are functionalities in R, which can do like "more" and "tab" in linux: more(one.data.frame) so I can browse through it. Sometimes I can use one.data.frame[1:100,], but still not as good as "more" in linux. tab: can I use tab to auto complete an defined object name in R so I don't

Dear Listers: For example, if I have a .R source file which has more than one function, and I want to just load only one of the functions, how could I do that? (removing the rest after sourcing is not what I intend b/c in my workspace, I might have some of the rest and I don't want to change my workspace: i.e., I only change my workspace by adding one function from a R source file). Thanks,

Dear all, I have a question on Cohen's kappa: Assume I have two datasets, one has 500 objects, 10 methods and the other, 1000 different objects, 20 different methods. Could I compare between the two datasets to conclude the 10 methods are more "concordant" than the 20 ones by looking at some output, for example, cohen.kappa{concord} ? One more, could anyone explain in brief,
