Hi, I wonder how well SPSS and R communicate, because I need SPSS but would like to do some data manipulations in R. However I am very afraid of never ending import-export-complications ? especially with all those labels and extra information my SPSS files contain. My data come from SPSS and have to be exported to SPSS again (because I need to produce special output tables, which would be hard to

Dear list, I want to insert a recorde into a SQLite table by dbGetQuery(), but there is a problem when the value contains quotation mark. > dd<-data.frame(txt=c("having both ' and \" in character.","OK")) > library(RSQLite) Loading required package: DBI > con<-dbConnect(dbDriver("SQLite"),":memory:") >

Hello. I am trying to pull out one country from a time series of 5 waves. For example I need Norway from the 5th wave. This is new to me. Typically, I work with country specific surveys. data = norway I have attached a .tiff of the codebook showing the variable names for Norway and the wave. They appear to be Norway = v218 and wave = v15. But perhaps I am wrong and this is part of the

RDQA is a package for Qualitative Data Analysis built upon R. It works both on the Windows and Linux/FreeBSD platforms. RQDA is an easy-to-use tool to assist in the analysis of textual data. At the present, it supports only plain text format data. All the information is stored in SQLite database via the R package of RSQLite. The GUI is based on RGtk2, via the aid of gWidgetsRGtk2. It includes a

Version 0.4-1 of the RSQLite package has been uploaded to CRAN. RSQLite embeds the SQLite engine in R (see http://www.sqlite.org) Changes include: * Fixed problems exporting/importing NA's * An new experimental dbWriteTable() method to create SQLite tables from simple files (delimited unquoted fields), e.g., > dbWriteTable(con, "table_name", "file_name", ...)

Hi, R people. I'm shy reporting this, as a bug in this area sounds very unlikely. Did I make my tests wrongly? I'm still flaky at all this. Let me dare nevertheless, who knows, just in case... Please don't kill me! :-) Not so long ago, I wrote to this list: > (For now, [the library code] works only for me when I do _not_ use `-l > MY/OWN/LIBDIR' at `R CMD INSTALL'

Except for the ability to perform circular recalculation, I believe that the closest programming analogy to a spreadsheet is a functional programming language. Check out Haskell (or LISP or Erlang) to do what you describe. -----Original Message----- From: r-help-bounces at stat.math.ethz.ch [mailto:r-help-bounces at stat.math.ethz.ch] On Behalf Of Fran?ois Pinard Sent: Wednesday, August 29, 2007

Hi everyone, i?m trying to graphically display distributions with r and i?m working with makrodata from the WVS. the command i?m using is > plot (Makrodata$v11, Makrodata$v12, xlab="Democracy Score Economist", > ylab= share religious people") i?m having an additional variable that identifies respectively labels the

Hi, people. Two days ago, I sent to this list a little toy for exploring polynomiographs (yet, the mathematical formulas were not polynomials anymore, so the name is not really appropriate). After studying R calls, expressions and functions a bit more, I gave myself the homework of producing an animation out of my recent toy. The resulting animation, and also the sources, are available at:

Hi, people. Executing the following command: hist(rpois(100,5), labels=TRUE) yields a graphic in which some labels are truncated (on an X11 device). The truncated labels are those over the highest bars. The hist function should ideally manage enough room for the labels, automatically. (Specifying ylim solves my problem, but yet, hist could be frienlier.) --please do not edit the

Hi, I'm experimenting with using (R)SQLite to do data management. Here are two little problems that I've encountered: 1. The presence of ',' in string values causes trouble since ',' is also the delimiter used in the SQL statement. 2. A newline '\n' line attached to the last string value of each row. Some examples: > library (RSQLite) Loading required

Hi, people. I was a bit intrigued by the message quoted below. Indeed, if pt() is given a matrix, it returns a matrix. Should this feature be documented? ?pt speaks about "a vector of quantiles", and says nothing about the type of what it returns. The same might presumably apply to other distribution-related functions. ----- Forwarded message from Martyn Plummer <plummer at

Hi, people. xy.coords() does not behave like its documentation says, when given some matrices. ?xy.coords says: If 'y' is 'NULL' and 'x' is a [...] formula [...] list [...] time series [...] matrix with two columns [...] In any other case, the 'x' argument is coerced to a vector and returned as *y* component [...] Now, consider this short

Hi, people. A tiny suggestion for the system.time function. Could the returned vector have names? These could be like: c("User", "System", "Elapsed", "Sub.User", "Sub.System") That would then produce self-documenting output. -- Fran?ois Pinard http://pinard.progiciels-bpi.ca

Hi, people. I met a little problem for which someone might have a solution. Let's say I have an executable file (named "pp.R") with this contents: #!/usr/bin/Rscript options(echo=TRUE) a <- 1 Sys.sleep(3) a <- 2 If I execute "./pp.R" at the shell prompt, the output shows the timely progress of the script as expected. If I use "./pp.R | tee
