Dear R-Helpers, I have a matrix where the first column is known. The second column is the result of multiplying this first column with a constant "const". The third column is the result of multiplying the second column with "const"..... So far, I did it like this (as a simplified example): nr.of.columns <- 4 myconstant <- 27.5 mymatrix <- matrix(numeric(0), nrow=5,

Dear All, I have these data: exampledata <- c("This is one item", "This is Another One", "And so is This") I would like to find each occurence of a blank space followed by a Capital Letter and replace it by a blank space, a left curly brace, the respective Capital Letter, and then a right curly brace. I thought the following will do: gsub(pattern = "

Dear all, I have a population with three age-classes, at time t=0 the population is: n.zero <- c(1,0,0) I have a transition matrix A which denotes "fertility" and "survival": A <- matrix(c(0,1,5, 0.3,0,0, 0,0.5,0), ncol=3, byrow=TRUE) To obtain the population at t=1, I calculate: A %*% n.zero To obtain the population t=2, I calculate: A %*% (A %*% n.zero) ... and so

Dear all, I wanted to make a two-way-table of two variables with a counting variable stored in another column of a dataframe. In version 1.9.1, the behavior is as expected as shown in the simplified example code. > sex <- rep(c("F", "M"), 5) > income <- c(rep("low", 5), rep("high", 5)) > count <- 1:10 > mydf <-

Dear all, This is a rather lengthy message, but I don't know what I made wrong in my real example since the simple code works. I have two variables a, b and a function f for which I would like to calculate all possible combinations of the values of a and b. If f is multiplication, I would simply do: a <- 1:5 b <- 1:5 outer(a,b) ## A bit more complicated is this: f <-

Dear all, given I have data in a data.frame which indicate the number of people in a specific year at a specific age: n <- 10 mydf <- data.frame(yr=sample(1:10, size=n, replace=FALSE), age=sample(1:12, size=n, replace=FALSE), no=sample(1:10, size=n, replace=FALSE)) Now I would like to make a matrix with (in this simple example) 10 columns (for the

Hello, If a matrix with 5 columns has been defined and the first two columns need to be sorted in ascending order, how can this be achieved whilst ensuring the other 3 columns data are in relative position to the sorted columns? Glen Jones [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Dear all, I'd appreciate any hints how to arrange some plots. I have three plots. I would like to arrange them in the following order: - Plot 1 and Plot 2 should be in the upper row - Plot 3 should be in the lower row but centered in the middle. I hope the following sketch will help understanding my problem ================ | === === | || P1| |P2 | | || | | | | | === === |

We can't post images here so I've put up a web page to show off a neat little animation in R: http://www.geocities.com/robsteele/ Adios!

Dear all, in the first paragraph in Section 4.3.2 of the "R Data Import/Export Manual", it is written 'We havew tested...'. Most likely it should be 'We have tested...' It is just such a minor thing that I was unsure whether to submit a bug report. I use now R 2.2.1 on Win32 but I guess this is independent of the platform and version. Best, Roland P.S. Thanks for

Dear all, in the coming Winter Semester, I will be a teaching assistant for a course in Survival Analysis. My job will be to do the lab sessions. The software used for these lab sessions will be R. Most of the students have a background in social sciences and the only stats package they used so far is most likely SPSS. So I assume they might be quite surprised the first time they see R

Dear all, my question might be a bit off-topic. Is there anything like a standard textbook on statistical programming? With that I don't mean anything like MASS, S Programming, Programming with Data, ... (no offense meant, they are fantastic books and each of those three helped me a great deal). Rather in the direction of the "Numerical Recipes" Series addressing how to implement

Dear all, I installed Mandrakelinux 10.1 (community) on my notebook. Before, I used Mandrakelinux 9.1 (and later 10.0 as an update). Now I wanted to compile, as before, R. In the beginning, nothing worked but it seemed to be the problem of GCC 3.4.1 which was shipped with my distribution. After downloading and compiling GCC 3.4.3 everything went smoothly during the compilation of R. The problem

Dear all, when making a DLL via Rcmd SHLIB is there a way to link against a library such as Rblas (I am on a Windows platform) on a case to case basis? I played a bit around with some self-written C-code which should call the function 'dasum' defined in Blas.h. I encountered the following problem: u:\codeplay>Rcmd SHLIB mysumming.c Rcmd SHLIB mysumming.c gcc --shared -s -o

Dear all, (Sorry if the question has already been answered.) Could someone please suggest a good text editor for writing R sources ? (I know emacs exists ... but I find it a bit heavy). I use crimson (http://www.crimsoneditor.com) which is small and simple, but the R syntax seems not to be supported. Thanks for any advice

Dear all, let's assume I have a vector of character strings: x <- c("abcdef", "defabc", "qwerty") What I would like to find is the following: all elements where the word 'abc' does not appear (i.e. 3 in this case of 'x'). Since I am not really experienced with regular expressions, I started slowly and thought I find all word were

i'd like to use the C interface to R in a program i'm writing. as a starting point, i'm trying to create a very simple C program that uses R. i've read the R documentation on this, but i'm having trouble figuring out where SEXP is defined and how to use it. i noticed someone else on this list also tried to use the C interface, but they ran into similar problems:

Dear all, I would like to plot the dagger symbol in R (like LaTeX's \dagger). However, I was unable to do so. First, I thought maybe dagger actually exists just like the degree symbol: plot(0:1,0:1, type="n") text(x=0.5, y=0.5, labels=expression(degree)) plot(0:1,0:1, type="n") text(x=0.5, y=0.5, labels=expression(dagger)) However, this was not very successful.
