similar to: using its to import time series data with uneven dates

Hi everyone, I am hoping someone can help with my attempted use of the expression function. I have a long series of text and variable to paste together including a degree symbol. The text is to be placed on my scatter plot using the mtext function. Using expression like this: changetext = expression(paste("Change from ",mini," to ", maxi, ":", diff

Dear, Thanks for the previous tips about 'its' for importing the following data. 5/10/1998,7 5/11/1998,5 5/12/1998,2 5/14/1998,1 5/15/1998,1 5/19/1998,1 5/20/1998,1 1. When using the following command; test<-readcsvIts('Fires98.csv',informat=its.format("%m/%d/%Y"),header=FA LSE) the function reads in the data from the csv file as; V2 05/10/1998 7

When I rsync a large directory (a few thousand files in multiple subdirectories), it has recently begun to hang and not return to me. The system I am rsyncing from is relese 2.4.1, and the system I am rsyncing to is release 2.5.4. I am running on aix (both ends). I used to use the following: /usr/contrib/bin/rsync -vrace ssh --include-from $tmpFile --exclude "*"

Dear all, Is there a simple trick to read in data with the following format and create a Time Serie object of it? Date CountOfField2 5/10/1998 7 5/11/1998 5 5/12/1998 2 5/14/1998 1 5/15/1998 1 5/19/1998 1 5/20/1998 1 5/21/1998 1 5/24/1998 2 5/25/1998 1 5/26/1998 2 .... 2002 ... R should recognize that some dates are not available...(NA). You can define start and end date Ok, and frequency= 365

I know this: > library(date) > x="1979-04-04" > try=as.date(x, "ymd") > print(try) [1] 4Apr79 and that `x' here has to be a string, e.g.: > x=1979-04-04 > print(x) [1] 1971 I'm stuck in reading from a file. I say: > A <- read.table(file="try") > print(A) V1 V2 1 1979-04-04

Having to collect hourly electricity loads and quarter-of-an-hour electricity production data for some years I think that the tidiest way of doing it is to resort to ts but I don't know how to define such a frequency starting from a set date. Leafing through r-help mail archives I've found this *ALMOST* satisfactory message: ==========================================================

OK. What if I have a time series which is collected every Monday, please? What is the proper way to use the start option within the ts command in order to indicate that this is Monday data, please? Thanks again! Sincerely, Erin

Hello, I am trying to read a .CSV file from Bloomberg of prices (for an "its" series) of the following format: Date Price 23/10/2006 09:59 57.291 23/10/2006 10:01 57.221 23/10/2006 10:02 57.201 23/10/2006 10:03 57.231 23/10/2006 10:04 57.191 23/10/2006 10:05 57.191 23/10/2006 10:06 57.141 23/10/2006 10:07 57.081 I get the following: >

I have a new device that takes measurements anywhere from every second, to every 15 minutes (depending on changes). The matrix has a date, time and Y column (Y is the measurement). For three days it is 25,000 rows. How do I average the measurements by every 30 minutes so my matrix is 48 rows per day? I have been working on this and cannot figure out a simple method. Any ideas? Thank you. ----- In

I am trying to import a file of daily index closing prices in business time which excludes weekends and holidays so deltat is not constant.

I didn''t think this was possible, but apparently it is. How does this work? How do you mirror data on a 3 disk set? This message posted from opensolaris.org

I am not really sure what the warning means but I think your underlying problem is that all your variables are factors. Did you intend the values in each variable to be character? data.frame':??? 3 obs. of? 5 variables: ?$ V1: Factor w/ 3 levels "Name1","Name2",..: 1 2 3 ?$ V2: Factor w/ 3 levels "nam1","name-1",..: 1 3 2 ?$ V3: Factor w/ 3 levels

Suppose I have a text file that I want to read into R like the following: X Y 649 699 657 891 714 632 849 727 721 597 791 868 874 652 405 978 733 549 790 This is a simple example -- I could have a huge file with many columns of unequal lengths. What is the best way to do it? I can't see how a data frame can be used. I checked the FAQ and did a web search on the topic but I came up

Dear R-gurus! Is it possible within boxplot to break the y-scale into two (or anything)? I'd like to have a normal linear y-range from 0-10 and the next tick mark starting at, say 60 and continue to 90. The reason is for better visualising the outliers.

Hi R-helpers I would like to produce a histogram with uneven bins (e.g., 0, 1-2, 3-5, 6-10, 10-20, >20) but I would like the resulting bars to be the same width ( i.e., a bar's width would not be proportional to its corresponding bin size). Also, the x and y axes of my histograms frequently (almost always, actually) extend beyond the axis labels (i.e., there are unlabeled bars). I would

I have 4 univariate time series that I believe have correlation between them, I want to create a VAR model between them all. However I have an issue as 3 of them are the same length, however the 4th is smaller. meaning that i cannot use the 4th variable , is there anyway R can get round this issue? > length(tstemp) [1] 746 > length(tspres) [1] 746 > length(tswind) [1] 746 >

Hello, I have a question about the y-axis of plots. Actually I had about 60 values. About 80 percent of these values are less than 0.2, then the other 20 percent values are more than 4,max is 10. So when I plot these values together, the y-axis's range will go 0 to 10, and my major values (80% values <0.2) will be pressed around 0 on the bottom, while other several dots will scatter in

Hello, I am sure I am not the only person with this problem. I have a list with n elements, each consisting of a single column matrix with different row lengths. Each row has a name ranging from A to E. Here is an example: alph[[1]] A 1 B 2 C 3 D 4 alph[[2]] A 1 C 3 D 4 alph[[3]] A 1 D 4 E 5 I would like to create a matrix from the elements in the list with n columns such that the row names
