i've search the email archives, searched the documention of various map packages and done an R-site search, but have been unable to find direct resources for creating maps of the US that are colored or annotated or ... by zipcode data. For example, create a map of the US and color each zipcode region by its population using two vectors z,p containing the zipcode and population,

Is this an interface bug? Using RGUI for windows I run into a "Not Responding" process (I "smartly" coded an infinite loop, yaiks!), I hit esc and the interpreter was stopped and I recovered the console functionality but the caption on the R icon in my windows taskbar (the individual icon shown for every software currently running in the session) was not updated so the

Hello I would like to see the algorithm that R uses to generate density functions for several distributions (i.e. Normal,Weibull, etc). I tried: >dnorm function (x, mean = 0, sd = 1, log = FALSE) .Internal(dnorm(x, mean, sd, log)) <environment: namespace:stats> How can I see the code used for densities? Thanks!

Hi all, I'm seeking feedback (good, bad or indifferent) in regards to developing (further) a new class system for R, that uses encapsulated class definitions (i.e. the method definitions are literally inside the body of the class definition). A working (however very rough and poorly tested) system is available in my R package "oosp" with documentation in the vignette

Hi all, I am very new to Ruby and I have a silly question: how do I get RoR to "recognize" that I just defined a class? To be more explicit, I have a controller and view, and then I want to create a class and get the controller to "see" it. So, I created a file called "myobject.rb" in the models/ directory and inside it defined "class myobject [...] end".

Dear R users! Several languages like C# or VB allow one to create properties; typically these are under 'get', 'set' tags. My question is this really, what are similar or comparable strategies in R, and what might be preferred? I have a couple of situations where I want a certain computation to belong to a class, but I do not really want to seperate it out to a stand-alone

Hello Everyone: As usual, thanks in advance for any help. I was hoping to get some more advice on this question: I'm trying to write a subsetting routine for an S3 object I've created -- lets call it myObject. myObject has a few attributes basically of type string and numerics. Its atomic value is just a vector of ints. I want to write my own subsetting routine to subset myObject in

Dear all, i generated several GLM objects, named myobject1 to myobject25. Now i'd like to update both of them. So i tried: for(ii in 1:25) { assign(paste("myobject.updated", ii, sep=""), update( myobject[ii] ,.~ + VAR2)) } Doesn't work I also tried to get all the names in a vector and update(names.myobject[ii],.~ + VAR2) Stiil doesn't work Any ideas

R2.1.1 Win 2k I have a function, B, within a function, A. I would like to have B print the name of the argument passed to it (not the value of the arguments). i.e., A<-function() { B<-function(x,y) { fit1<-lm(y~x,data=jo) print(summary(fit1) I want B to print the string "age" and the string "height". } B(age,height) }

Hey everyone, I''m trying to create an object that will have some properties predefined, but will allow me to pass in properties to override those standard props if needed. I''m trying something like: var myObject = Class.create(); myObject.prototype = { initialize: function(element, options) { this.element = $(element); this.name = this.element.id; this.options =

Hey Cats, I''m having a problem. I''m working with an object that contains a bunch of arrays: var myObject = { "data": [ {"line": [1,"aoo","far"]}, {"line": [2,"boo","ear"]}, {"line": [3,"coo","dar"]}, {"line":

Hello, I have stored R objects as hexadecimals in a mysql database, I then usually transform them to binary and then save it into a file. E.g. hex <- getBlob #gets blob from database as hexadecimal binary <- transformToBinary(hex) #moves from hex to binary I would usually save them into a file as follows: writeBin(object=binary,con="fileName.txt") Then eventually if

I''m trying to debug an a uncaught exception: Permission denied to get property Object.constructor error. I have some code like this: myObject.js ------------ function myObject (arg1, arg2, arg3) { //does some constructor related stuff } myObject.prototype.createSomething = function() { // do more boring stuff // return an Array; } manager.js ----------- var fakeHashMap = new

Dear listers, I am working since a while with the sp package and still wonder how the plot methods are managed with sp spatial objects. For instance, SpatialPolygonsDataFrame objects have obviously a plot method. However it cannot be found in the list provided by methods(plot) . Furthermore ?plot.SpatialPolygonsDataFrame, nor ?plot.SpatialPolygons, etc.. provide a help, though the lattice

I need a single boolean which would be "globally" accessible to all instances of a class. Seems like the boolean should be in the class prototype, but I was troubled by the difficulty of setting the prototype boolean to true. Maybe I''m missing something? var MyObject = Class.create(); MyObject.prototype = { bSwitch: false, ... other methods and properties } var oMyOb1

Hi all Is there any reason why the parameter i in a "for" loop ignores a value of zero? For example sim=c() p=.2 for(i in 0:5) {sim[i]=dbinom(i,5,p) } sim [1] 0.40960 0.20480 0.05120 0.00640 0.00032 In this example the quantile i= 0 was ignored since dbinom(0,5,p) [1] 0.32768 The same behaviour occurs if I use a while loop to perform the same calculation: sim=c() p=.2 i=0

I need to create a sort of transaction around some Active Record objects that perform many insert/updates. Example: class MyObject def transaction &block @my_var = value self.instance_eval block end end MyObject.new.transaction do Model.create Model.collection.create etc...... end I have a gem that add a method into AR::Base and I need to read

Hi R-listers, I am trying to better undertand what we would call "functional paradigm" use of S/R to better map my programming activities in other languages. This little function is aimed to create an object (at the end end, it would have it's own class): -- myObject =function(){ list( a=1, foo=function(b) { cat("b:",b)

Hi all, i am new here and this is my first posting. My coding experience in R ist okay, but I have a problem which is related to another aspect of R. I am searching for a surface which execute my commands in R via a click on a button OUTSIDE of R. Concrete: I will write some programs in R and want to execute this files outside of R, so I don't want to start R eyery time if i want an
