Each day the daily balance in the following link http://www. snamretegas.it/italiano/business/gas/bilancio/pdf/bilancio.pdf is updated. I would like to set up an R procedure to be run daily in a server able to read the figures in a couple of lines only ("Industriale" and "Termoelettrico", towards the end of the balance) and put the data in a table. Is that possible? If

In what R package(-s) can I find the entire set of financial functions that you can find in MS-Excel such as PMT, PPMT, FV and IPMT? Ciao Vittorio

At office I have been introduced by another company to new, complex energy forecasting models using gams as the basic software. I have been told by the company offering the models that gams is specialised in dealing with huge, hevy-weight linear and non-linear modelling (see an example in http://www.gams.com/modtype/index.htm) and they say it is almost the only option for doing it. I would

Take this as an example: > a=data.frame(col1=c(1,2,3,4,5), col2=c ("my","beloved","daughter","son","wife")) > b=data.frame(col1=c(1,2,4), col2=c("my","beloved","son")) > a col1 col2 1 1 my 2 2 beloved 3 3 daughter 4 4 son 5 5 wife > b col1 col2 1 1 my 2

Dear R-help members, To whom it may concern, our research group is conducting a study to evaluate the predictive value of 24 hour blood pressure variability. We are looking for an R routine that performs a fast Fourier transform spectral analysis (with an output of the approximation function of the Fourier and estimates the validity of the model for the various harmonics). Thanks Vittorio

Dear All, I'm happily extracting data of temperature from an oracle db under R via RODBC. After manipulating the extracted data I put them into a data.frame 'dati' which is as follows: > dati DATA tm.

I've just compiled and installed Rpad from the sources under *nix (freeBSD 6.1) and R 2.4.0, and followed the suggested procedure to setup an Rpad server step by step. Now when I try to execute whatever .Rpad example file the IE browser hangs endlessly with a "loading page" pop-up and the following errors show up at the end of the html page:
