Hello Rers: Let's say I have a column that looks like this: Column 167.8 292.8 363.3 1.9 115.25 I want to manipulate the above data such that I only end up with this same column but only with its decimals and not its whole numbers. So the new column would look like this (but the real column is VERY long): Column .8 .8 .3 .9 .25 Any suggestions about how I could do this? -- Do all you

Good morning all! I am attempting to superimpose a moving-average smoother onto a graph of daily plots. These plots (in table[,2] below) span about 350 days and looks very noisy. I'd like for this smoother to plot the average of each group of 7 consecutive days (weekly) and show a line which joins these series of averages. Given the definition of MA, the first and last points will

Hello all. I'm confused a bit about contour plots. After reading the help at "?contour", it seems as though the contour plot is for 3D plots (x,y, and z). My data is in the form of grid coordinates (x,y), and I want to see a contour plot of the data so that I can tell where most observations lie. My question is simple but still evasive. Say my data is called places. One column

Hello. I have looked at R Site Search for this problem, and it didn't give me exactly what I needed. Consider this dataset called "results". It has the following information: Student Day Subject Score Mary 1 Math Failed David 2 Science Passed Bob 4 Reading Passed Marie 4

Hi all, I've got a matrix of fractional data that is all positive and greater than zero that I would like to "loosely" classify, for lack of a better word. It looks something like this : 1.07 1.11 1.27 1.59 0.97 0.76 2.23 0.98 0.71 0.88 1.19 1.02 What I'm looking for is a way to round these numbers to the nearest 0.25, i.e. the above matrix would be

I have a function that does some plotting. I then add lines to the plot. If executed one line at a time, there is not a problem. If I execute the function, though, I get: Error in ans[[1]] : subscript out of bounds This always occurs after the second lines command, and doesn't happen with all of my data points (some do not have errors). Any ideas? Thanks, Sean

Dear R users and Helpers I am beginner with using R and interested in carrying out certain task for my statistical research. I am reading data for a text file, which could contain data in following pattern x y 8 10 11 14 16 16 18 15 6 20 4 4 20 18 As per the example I have two columns and 7 rows of data in each. However is real life data situation I may not know how many columns are present

I am performing some configuration testing on a kvm host. When installing a guest operating system is it advisable to place each instance in a separate lv or better to accept the default and store them on the root file system? Respecting lvm, does one configure lvs in a virtual server to take space from the main vg or does one allocate lv space from inside that allocated to the virtual instance?

I generated a PDF output file of 10 plots. When I try to view it with Adobe reader (R4 & R5), it will lockup the reader (it is consuming 100% of the CPU) after presenting the 4th plot. I can generate the plots just fine in Windows and as a postscript file reading it with GSview. Is there anyway to tell what might be wrong with the PDF output? The file is 890KB in size if anyone would like

Dear R-Helpers, I have a matrix where the first column is known. The second column is the result of multiplying this first column with a constant "const". The third column is the result of multiplying the second column with "const"..... So far, I did it like this (as a simplified example): nr.of.columns <- 4 myconstant <- 27.5 mymatrix <- matrix(numeric(0), nrow=5,

Anyone have luck with pxechn32 and bootmgfw.efi? I'm getting the "Unable to retrieve first package" issue as reported by others. Really, any advice for UEFI booting into a winpe environment off of pxelinux 6.03 would be beneficial.

Thanks a lot, James!! The problem is fixed. On the version 1.4.0 Mac/darwin (the latest available version for this system) the function read.table (which is called from read.delim etc., too) has the bug you explained. Inserting the row nlines <- nlines+1 after lines <- c(lines, line) removes this bug. M. On Friday, February 22, 2002, at 02:33 PM, james.holtman at convergys.com

Hi, is there a way to reference to a data object without copying it? For example I have a huge matrix called dist and I want two objects obj1 and obj2 to have a memeber dist that points to the matrix, but I don't want, for memory reasons, to copy the matrix twice. As far as I understand the following code will generate three copies of my data: dist <- some_code_that_generates_data

Hi All, I have a function, f(x,y) I have a matrix of data, m, with the 1st column is x and the 2nd column is y What's the best way to get f(x,y) for each row of the matrix? I tried result<-f(m[,1],m[,2]) but it doesn't work. Thanks! Bing --------------------------------- 1060 Commerce Park Oak Ridge National Laboratory P.O.

Hi, there, I am using PC window version R and dealing with big dataset usually. May anyone let me whether the maximal dataset size in R is limited by computer memory or hard drive capacity?

If I am buying a PC where the most compute intensive task will be running R and I do not have unlimited resources what trade-offs should I make? Specifically should I go for 1 - more memory, or 2 - faster processor, or 3 - something else? If it makes a difference I shall be running Windows on it and I am thinking about getting a portable which I understand makes upgrading more difficult. Extra

I have been using SPLUS on UNIX to do performance analysis of our computers and have some matrices that are about 15M rows with 8 columns. These are 'integers' and therefore take up about 500M of memory. I run on a system with 2G of memory and will utilize over a 1G when processing this data. I am considering using R and was wondering how large addresses spaces are handled under

The interface for dates in R is a little confusing to me. I want to create a vector of Date objects from vectors of years, months, and days. One solution I found is: years <- c(1991, 1992) months <- c(1, 10) days <- c(1, 2) dates <- as.Date(ISOdate(years, months, days)) But, in this solution the ISOdate function converts the vectors into characters, which can cause serious

I'm reading a file into a list by: PDF = scan("file",what="character",sep="\10") "\10" is the newline character in this file, also tried "\n" originally On lines that are ended by "\13\10", both are dropped from the list entry I want scan to keep the "\13" in the list entry. Is this a bug or just a strange feature?

Could anybody explain this results? >sin(2*pi) -2.449213e-16 #should be zero >(10^16)*sin(log2(4)*pi) -2.449213 #should be zero too and explain what to do to correct this events? Thanks!!! Branimir K. Hackenberger
