I have a general question. Is there a setting that can be used for a multiple line type? The situation is that I want a solid line between x and y points but if the y point is missing, I want a dashed line type to the next point. In other words, if point 1 to 2 exists, make that line solid, otherwise, make it dashed up to the next existing x/y point. Additionally, what plot type would you

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 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 write a function to get the frequency and prop of a variable. freq<-function(x,digits=3) {naa<-is.na(x) nas<-sum(naa) if (any(naa)) x<-x[!naa] n<-length(x) ta<-table(x) prop<-prop.table(ta)*100 res<-rbind(ta,prop) rownames(res)<-c("Freq","Prop") cat("Missing value(s) are",nas,".\n") cat("Valid case(s)

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

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.

hi, i am using the RODBC package to read excel files using odbcConnectExcel and susequently sqlFetch to read the contents of the file. the file that i use is just a matrix of numbers thats all. no headers and column names. what happens is that the sqlFetch is not reading my first row of numbers. i have tried different combinations of colnames and rownames logical values but that first row is not

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

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

Yes: I have Tufte's monograph on my desk. (along with 4 statistics texts) Yes: I am not the biggest fan of PowerPoint. Yes: I am using R to generate charts, plots, trends, etc. I have to summarize them each week. When I consider how to organize this data my first thought is to generate an HTML file with links to the R-generated plots, which HTML file organizes the plots in the required

Hi Kenneth: I tried: list.files(path="c:\\pctexv4\\samples") and that worked just fine. Hope this helps!

I have an R file R_test.R saved in C:\R_test folder. The R_test.R looks like this: setwd("C:/R_test") rnorm(100) write(rnorm(100),"data.txt") q(save="no", runLast = F) Next I would like use an Excel VBA/macro Shell() function to call R and execute R_test.R file. The syntax is *Shell(pathname*[*,windowstyle*]*)* I wrote an Excel macro RunRcode like this: Sub

A<-c(1,2,NA,7,5) B<-c(3,4,1,4,1) C<-c(6,5,6,NA,9) D<-c(8,7,4,6,2) df1<-cbind(A,B,C,D) for(i in seq(1,ncol(df1)-1, by=2)) { ifelse(df1[,i]=="NA",df1[,i+1]=="NA",df1[,] ) } Tried several variations but none worked. I wish to find any NA's in column's 1 or 3 and change the numerical value to the right of the " NA"'s . In this case I

I have what is likely to be a simple question about the else keyword. The usage in the help pages is as follows: if(cond) cons.expr else alt.expr I would expect to be able to use it in the following way as well: if(cond){ cons.expr } else alt.expr This results a syntax error. Am I doing something wrong, or doesn't R support the spanning of the combination of if and else

Hi, . I know you can run Windows applications using WINE (winehq.com), but has anyone tried, say, running Word or Excel VBA code/macros based on Windows run time libraries? . the thing is that in their faq (http://www.winehq.com/site/docs/wine-faq/index) they don't even mention this possibility and searching on; VBA Word, doesn't give you any hits, even though WINE does link to windows

I just uploaded two packages to CRAN. shapefiles_0.1.tar.gz - functions to read and write ESRI shapefiles (including dbfs) emme2_0.1.tar.gz - functions to read binary data from an EMME/2 databank data (EMME/2 is a transportation modeling program) Please let me know if you find any bugs or have some suggestions. Thanks. Regards, Benjamin Stabler Transportation Planning Analysis Unit Oregon

I would like to reference array dimensions by name in an apply and a summary function. For example: apply(x, "workers", sum) Is there a better way to do this than creating a new attribute for the array and then creating new methods for apply and summary? I don't want to name the individual elements of each dimension (such as with dimnames) but rather name the dimensions. Thanks

I have a question about how apply() works for changing data values. I am using it to change NA values to zero, but the question applies to other value changing operations as well. If I have a dataframe "Dat" with columns "a", "b" and "c" and there are some NA values in every column: If I do: Dat$a[is.na(Dat$a)] <- 0 then all the NA values are changed

Hi, I often work with R by writing long(ish) Excel-VBA macros interspersed with calls to R via RExcel. A typical example of this would be: Sub VBAMacro() 'fetch some data from an excel sheet 'do some basic stuff on said data 'transfer data from vba to R 'run some R statements 'get data back to vba 'show results on the excel sheet 'clean R by deleting all vars
