similar to: String values as data marks on X/Y axes?

Sorry to bother the group but I am wondering if there are some official ways to delete a row/column, i.e., some functions of dataTable manipulation? For rows operation I use subset() but what about columns? Any advice is welcome and I will be more than grateful if somebody could make a summary on this issue.

Hello guys, I am wondering the default way of transferring arguments in R. Is it by value or by ref in default case, or could that be changed explicitly? Cheers, Xiaofan --- Xiaofan Li Department of Applied Mathematics and Theoretical Physics University of Cambridge

Hi, I am trying to install the R libraries "rmutil" and "repeated" on a Mac OS X version 10.4.1 (which has the latest version of the Mac Developer tools installed) and I am having trouble compiling the libraries. The error message I receive is as follows (I have only included the error message when I try and install the rmutil library): ............................ *

Dear list, I need to change a value within a particular line of a plain text file with characters and numbers, and I haven't found any way of doing this by using R. What I have a is a file that doesn't have tabular data (so, I think that 'read.table' or 'read.delim' are not the right tools for this), but some text, and I now exactly the row that has to be modified and the

Hi Given three vectors x <- c(fish=3, dogs=5, bats=2) y <- c(dogs=1, hogs=3) z <- c(bats=3, dogs=5) How do I create a multi-way table like the following? > out x y z bats 2 0 3 dogs 5 1 5 fish 3 0 0 hogs 0 3 0 ('out' is a matrix). See how the first line shows 'x' has 2 bats, 'y' has zero bats, and 'z' has 3 bats and so on for each

Hi I deal with long vectors almost all of whose elements are zero. Typically, the length will be ~5e7 with ~100 nonzero elements. I want to deal with these objects using a sort of sparse vector. The problem is that I want to be able to 'add' two such vectors. Toy problem follows. Suppose I have two such objects, 'a' and 'b': > a $index [1] 20 30 100000000

Hi I read that bundles are to be deprecated in 2.10. The BACCO bundle contains three packages (emulator, calibrator, approximator) which I am happy to unbundle. But the 'BACCO' moniker has some considerable cachet for me in terms of recognizability (eg with grant-giving bodies), as it has become an umbrella term for a whole bunch of related statistical functionality of which the three

Hi R-2.8.1, Suse 11.1 I'm having problems with pdf(). In the following transcript, file 'f.pdf' does not use the expected symbols for the plot. It uses a 'q' letter instead of the open circle I get when viewing the graphics window. I also get the same under r47678. Does anyone else get this? le112:~/scratch/R-2.8.1% R --vanilla --quiet >

Hello everyone. R-2.12.0, suse linux 11.3. I am debugging a package that uses S4 methods and R CMD check gives the following warning: > Warning in methods::findMethods(g, env) : > non-generic function 'mdm' given to findMethods() > See the information on DESCRIPTION files in the chapter 'Creating R > packages' of the 'Writing R Extensions' manual.

Hi I have a data frame with timeseries information like this: year cell Q1 Q2 Q3 Q4 1940 1 1.2 1.4 1.4 1.9 1941 1 2.9 2.1 3.4 2.4 1942 1 2.7 3.2 1.5 2.6 1940 2 1.4 2.1 2.6 2.4 1941 2 2.4 1.4 1.4 3.4 1942 2 1.4 2.4 2.5 4.4 where the Qs mean 'quarter'. I want to extract from

Hi suppose I have a factor 'x': > x <- as.factor(c(rep("a",3),"b","d")) > table(x) x a b d 3 1 1 > > But this is not what I want because I need to include the fact that the count of "c" is zero. I can't just change the levels of x: > levels(x) <- c("a","b","c","d") >

Hi everyone, I'm trying to integrate f(x) over x where f(x) does not have a close form but only numerical values at certurn knots of x. Is there a way that I can use any generical R function (such as integrate) or any package to do so? Thanks! I appreciate your time. Best Regards, Martha Cao

Hi folks I have some data to which I've been fitting linear mixed effects models. I am currently using a lme model in the nlme package, with terms for random effects due to repeated measures on individuals and the corCAR1 serial correlation structure. However, there is some suggestion in the data (and from theory) that a breakpoint (change point) model may be more appropriate. Scott, Norman

Hi I want a generalization of tabulate() which works on rows of a matrix. Suppose I have an integer matrix 'observation': > observation y1 y2 y3 1 4 0 1 4 0 2 0 3 4 1 0 0 5 0 0 1 4 2 0 3 Each row corresponds to a (multivariate) observation. Note that the first two rows are identical: this means that data "c(1,4,0)" was observed twice. Now suppose I can list the sample

Hi there, I'm writing a program in R that has a few nested loops. I'd like to monitor the progress when the program is running and be able to estimate the remaining time. I'd highly appreciate it if anyone can shed a light on this issue. Thanks for your time! Best Regards, Martha Cao

Hi, Can anyone guide me as to how I can add points to a p3d() plot from the onion package?? I want to plot points with different colors on the same 3D plot.? Perhaps I can do this without adding points but somehow directing the 'h' parameter to give different color to points based on a factor I assign to them? FYI, I can do this using using scatterplot3d() and points3d(), but these plots

Dear R-user I need a function to approximate a complex integration. My function is: aprox2=function(s,x,rate){ dexp(x,rate)*exp(-s*x) } where argument s is a complex number. I can't use the integrate function because it's only used with "numeric" arguments Does anyone know some function to approximate complex integrals? Thanks Borja [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Folks, I put up a brief note describing my naive attempts to compute Goldbach partitions, starting with a brute-force approach and refining progressively. http://jostamon.blogspot.com/2009/02/goldbachs-comet.html I'd welcome your suggestions on improvements, alternatives, other optimisations, esp. to do with space vs time tradeoffs. Is this an example interesting enough for

I'm looking for some tutorial on S4. I only find the following one, which is not in English. Can somebody let me know if there is any introductory material? I'm very familiar with OO and C++. If there is some material that suits my background, it will be great. https://stat.ethz.ch/pipermail/r-help/2009-January/184108.html
