Hi all, I want to write a wrapper for an analysis of variance and I face a curious problem. Here are two different wrappers: fun.1 <- function(formula) { summary(aov(formula)) } fun.2 <- function(formula) { oneway.test(formula) } values <- c(15, 8, 17, 7, 26, 12, 8, 11, 16, 9, 16, 24, 20, 19, 9, 17, 11, 8, 15, 6, 14) group <- rep(1:3, each=7) # While the first

Dear list, This should be a simple one, I just cannot see it. I need to generate a sequence of the form: 4 5 6 13 14 15 22 23 24 That is: starting with 4, make a 3 numbers sequence, jump 6, then another 3 and so on. I can create a whole vector with: myvec <- rep(rep(c(F, T, F), rep(3, 3)), 3) Then see which are TRUE: which(myvec) [1] 4 5 6 13 14 15 22 23 24 I'd like to avoid

Dear list, I have two functions created in the same environment, fun1 and fun2. fun2 is called by fun1, but fun2 should use an object which is created in fun1 fun1 <- function(x) { ifelse(somecondition, bb <- "o", bb <- "*") ## mymatrix is created, then myresult <- apply(mymatrix, 1, fun2) } fun2 <- function(idx) { if (bb == "o) { #

Hi again, I was contemplating the solution using base 3: set.seed(3) mat2 <- matrix(sample(0:2, 15, replace=T), 5, 3) Extracting the line numbers is simple: bases <- c(3, 3, 3)^(2:0) # or just 3^(2:0) colSums(apply(mat2, 1, function(x) x*bases)) + 1 [1] 7 23 25 8 1 The problem is sometimes the columns have different number of levels, as in: mat1 <- expand.grid(0:2, 0:2,

Dear all, I'd like to produce a simple pie chart for a customer (I know it's bad but they insist), and I have some difficulties setting the initial angle. For example: pie(c(60, 40), init.angle=14) and pie(c(80, 20), init.angle=338) both present the slices in the same direction, where: pie(c(60, 40)) pie(c(80, 20)) present the slices in different directions. I read everything I

Dear all, In order to ease the transition from SPSS to R for some of my colleagues, I am trying to create a function which would show the variables and their labels (if those exist), using function "label" in package Hmisc. A toy example would be this: my.data <- data.frame(age=c(24,35,28), gender=c("Male", "Female", "Male")) require(Hmisc)

Dear all, This is probably a stupid question for which I have a solution, which unfortunately is not as straighforward as I'd like. I wonder if there's a simple way to apply a weighting variable for the cases of a dataframe (well I'm sure there is, I just cannot find it). My toy example: > my.data <- data.frame(var1=c("c", "e", "a",

I have a set data={A,B,C,D,E,F,G} I want to choose 2 letter from 8 letters, i.e. generate the combination set for choose 2 letters from 8 letters. I want to get the liking: combination set={AB,AC,AD,....} Does anyone konw how to do in R. thanks, Aimin

Dear R-list, Could anybody tell me where to find information about changing the measurement unit from inch to centimeters? I read the help from X11, I read R-intro and I did some searhing in the R archives, but I couldn't find the answer. For example, I would like to produce a plot of a certain width and height: X11(width=10, height=5) and I would like these to be centimeters, rather

Dear all, There is something I'm missing in order to understand the following behavior: > aa <- c("test", "name") > ifelse(any(nchar(aa) < 3), aa[-which(nchar(aa) < 3)], aa) [1] "test" > any(nchar(aa) < 3) [1] FALSE Shouldn't the ifelse function return the whole aa vector? Using if and else separately, I get the correct result... >

Dear all, Some very wise data entry person gave me about an hour of a headache, trying to find out why a 2000x500 dataframe won't be read into R. After much trial and error, I pinpointed the problem to an accidentally inserted double quote into a string variable (some comments from an open question). This can be replicated by: aa <- data.frame(id=1:2, var1=c("some \"

Dear All, I assume this is an R-devel issue, apologies if I missed something obvious. I have a dataframe where the row names are country codes, based on ISO 3166, something like this: ------------ "v1" "v2" "UK" 1 2 "NA" 2 3 ------------ It happens that "NA" is the country code for "Namibia", and that creates problems on

Hello, Is there a way to extract multiple columns from a dataframe using their names instead of their numbers? Currently I use: data2 <- data1[, c(1,3,9)] And I am looking for something like data2 <- data1[, c("XX","YY","ZZ")] I use the same dataframe for many purposes, and I run codes that change the order of the columns every time. Many thanks, Adrian

Dear Mao Jianfeng, "r-help-owner" is not the place for help, but: r-help at r-project.org (CC-ed here) In any case, strsplit() does the job, i.e.: > unlist(strsplit("BCPy01-01", "-")) [1] "BCPy01" "01" You can work with the whole variable, like: splitpop <- strsplit(df1$popcode, "-") then access the first part with >

Hallo, The command: x <- 3 mat <- as.matrix(expand.grid(rep(list(0:1), x))) generates a matrix with 2^x columns containing the binary representations of the decimals from 0 to (2^x-1), here from 0 to 7. But the rows are not sorted in this order. How can sort the rows the ascending order of the decimals they represent, preferably without a function which converts binaries to decimals

Dear list, Given a list of elements like: aa <- list(one=c("o", "n", "e"), tea=c("t", "e", "a"), thre=c("t", "h", "r", "e")) Is there a function that returns the intersection between all? Both match() and intersect() only deal with two arguments, but sometimes I

Dear r-devel, I am trying to automatically check if two successive versions of a package have the same results (i.e. code not broken), by parsing the example sections for each function against a previously tested version. While trying to replicate the code from example(), I am facing an error related with te "index.search" function (line 7 in the example() code). This is the code I am

Dear R devel, Apologies for these (most probably trivial) questions, doing my first attempt to call C from R (and actually learning C in the process). I need to pass a matrix to C, and after reading R-exts.pdf (many times), I was unable to find how to handle matrices at C-level... except for, what probably is the answer, that matrices are in fact vectors with dimensions. This is a sample code I

Dear R-list, I have many files on many CDs (probably same as many of you) and I would like to create a database containing only a few columns: - the name of the file - its extension - space occupied - date when it was created - its path - CD number (this should be typed in manually) Is it possible to read a CD/structure of folders in such a way? Thank you for any

Dear list, I have a vector of numbers, let's say: myvec <- c(2, 8, 24, 26, 51, 57, 58, 78, 219) My task is to reduce this vector to non-reducible numbers; small numbers can cross-out some of the larger ones, based on a function let's say called reduce() If I apply the function to the first element 2, my vector gets shorted to: > (myvec <- reduce(myvec[1])) [1] 2 24 51
