similar to: again, a question between R and C++

Hello. Please forgive me if this problem has already been posted (and solved) by someone else ... I can't find it anywhere though it seems so very basic. Here it is: I have a list comprised of several matrices, each of which has two columns. > list [[1]] [,1] [,2] [1,] 1 3 [2,] 2 4 [[2]] [,1] [,2] [1,] 5 7 [2,] 6 8 [[3]] [,1] [,2]

I am experimenting with some of the common r functions. I had a question re:using "gsub" (or some similar functions) on the contents of a list. I want to design a function that looks at "everything" contained din a list, and anytime it finds the text string "pattern" replace it with "x". I also wish to preserve the "structure" of the original

Hi all. I'd like to define an object within a function based on an argument to that function. Specifically, I've got: do.something<-function(input){ id<-substring(input,3,3) j<-list1 if(id==2)j<-list2 if(id==3)j<-list3 if(id==4)j<-list4 ...} Instead of all these if() arguments, I was hoping to use something like:

Dear R users, A co-worker and I are writing a function to facilitate graph plotting in R. The function makes use of a lot of lists in its defaults. However, we discovered that R does not necessarily preserve the defaults if we were to input them in the form of list() when initializing the function. For example, if you feed the function codes below into R: myfunction=function( list1=list

I have a vector d of unknown length, and a list b of unknown length. I would like to replace every element of b with d. Simply writing b<-d does not work as R tries to fit every element of d to a different element of d, and b<-rep(d,length(b)) does not work either as it makes a list of length length(d)*length(b) not a list of length(b). I know how to do this with a for loop, but I feel that

I know that if I have a function that returns multiple values, I should do return(list(foo, bar)). But what do I do on the recieving end? fn <- function(x) { return(list(foo, bar)) } I know that at this point I could say values.list <- fn(x) and then access values.list[1] values.list[2] But that's hideous. I'd rather be able to say something like list(local_foo, local_bar)

Hi, I have two lists 1) List1- 30,000 rows and 104 columns 2) List2- a list of 14000 selected rownames  from List 1 Now, I want to extract all the 104 columns of List1  matching with the 14000 selected rownames from List2.  Psedocode will be something like this: match rownames(List2) with rownames(List1) extract selected matched 104 coloumns from (List1) strore in-> List3 So the

Hi, Try this: el<- read.csv("el.csv",header=TRUE,sep="\t",stringsAsFactors=FALSE) ?elsplit<- split(el,el$st) ? datetrial<-data.frame(date1=seq.Date(as.Date("1930.1.1",format="%Y.%m.%d"),as.Date("2010.12.31",format="%Y.%m.%d"),by="day")) elsplit1<- lapply(elsplit,function(x)

hi, i'm trying to figure out if there's any possibility to write a whole vector into a matrix or data.frame or something like that. i don't mean transormation. Here an example: [,1] [,2] [1,] "a" "d" [2,] "b" "e" [3,] "c" "f" where e.g. a is a<-c(0,1) vector of length 2, b a vector of length 4,... (i know that

Hi! I have 2 list objects One list contains the data (list1) the second list2 contains the e.g linear model for each element of list 1. list2 <- lapply(list1,mylm,response) I obtain list 2 by something like this. now I have a function myfunc which takes an element from list1 and the coresponding element from list2 does something and .... list3[[x]] <- myfunc(list1[[x]],list2[[x]]) Until

Dear R users, I have the following problem. I have a number of lists with identical structure. Each component is a vector, matrix or array, but components of different lists may be of different size. How do I combine the lists to get a new list such that each component of this list contains the components of the individual lists? An example may explain most clearly what I need. Suppose I have

Hi, Algorithm question: I have two sets of "intervals", where an interval is an ordered pair [a,b] of two numbers. Is there an efficient way in R to generate the intersection of two lists of same? For concreteness: I'm representing a set of intervals with a data.frame: > list1 = as.data.frame(list(open=c(1,5), close=c(2,10))) > list1 open close 1 1 2 2 5

How can I make one point graphics with transparency These are all sp classes: plot(polygons_area,axes=TRUE,asp=1.5,main="Title",xlab="Latitude", ylab="Longitude") points(observations2000,type = "p",pch=21,col="green") points(observation1999,type = "p",pch=21,col="blue") points(reference.points,type =

i did some searching through the archives and didn''t really find an answer to my question, so i''m going to just ask it. i have a situation where there are 3 sortable lists. list1, list2, and list3 i need list2 to accept divs from all 3 lists, but list1 and list3 to only accept divs from the list1 and list3 i''ve added two classes to the divs in my sortables: .rail

Hi, I''ve created a Rails application and am having a problem listing by a particular category in an associated table. I followed the instructions found at the O''Reilly tutorial (http://www.onlamp.com/pub/a/onlamp/2005/03/03/rails.html?page=3) but have not had success. Can anyone please outline a better set of instructions than in the "Showing Recipes in a

Hi everyone- I have a dataset with multiple "pre" and "post" variables I want to compare. The variables are named "apple_pre" or "pre_banana" with the corresponding post variables named "apple_post" or "post_banana". The variables are in no particular order. apple_pre orange_pre orange_post pre_banana apple_post post_banana person_1

Hello, I have a matrix equation, Ax=b, that I need to solve for x. x should be a vector of positive numbers (between 0 and 1). A is not a square matrix in general. This lead me to using the SVD. However, using the SVD gives me positive and negative numbers, as well. I have some constraints included in the A matrix itself (i.e., that the sum of some xi should be equal to 1) but I do not know how

Hi, as discussed in [1], this series adds a new getprogname module. All it does is providing a getprogname function, much like what is found on e.g. *BSD systems, and using it in gnulib instead of progname. Also, using it explicitly by modules avoids gnulib users the need of either use the progname module (GPL), or to provide program_name (and call set_program_name manually, which is not always

I am using R in Windows. I see that I will have to use batch processes with R. I will have to read and write text files, and run some R code; probably some external code too. I have never done scripting. Is there any document that explains simple steps with examples? I also have heard that Python is a good scripting language. Is it worth the effort? (I do not have too much free time, so if I could

Hi R-list, I'll apologize in advance for (1) the wordiness of my note (not sure how to avoid it) and (2) any deficiencies on my part that lead to my difficulties. I have an application with several stages that is meant to simulate and explore different scenarios with respect to product sales (in units sold per month). My session info is at the bottom of this note. The steps include (1) an
