Is there any package similar to the XML package that is able to "extract" relevant information from HTML files. Namely, I'm interested in obtained data that is represented as a HTML table, into some R-type structure.

Can someone please explain to me why the dates get shifted by one day when I create an its ( irregular time-series ) object from a matrix for which I've assigned row names. E.g. in the example run below, why does the its object have dates one-shifted from my original dates? > install.packages('its') > install.packages('Hmisc') > require(its) > m <-

Regarding a previous question concerning the kmeans function I've tried the same example and I also get a strange result (at least according to what is said in the help of the function kmeans). Apparently, the function is disregarding the initial cluster centers one gives it. According to the help of the function: centers: Either the number of clusters or a set of initial cluster

I'm trying to obtain a set of regression lines obtained for different values of a factor using lattice. I would like to add a string to each panel showing the R^2 value of the respective line, but I'm having difficulties positioning the text (namely on which coordinates to give to the "ltext" function). Here is what I'm using (I've used ?? for the things I would like

Dear R-users, I'm felling kind of blocked on a quite simple problem and I wonder if someone could give me a help with it. My problem: x[0] = 100 x[1] = (1+v[1])*x[0] x[2] = (1+v[2])*x[1] ... i.e. x[i] = (1+v[i])*x[i-1] and x[0]=k Given a set of v values I wanted to obtain the corresponding x values in an efficient way (i.e. without a for loop). For instance, if x[0] = 100 and v =

Deall all, We need to perform a statistical analysis of a large database (40,000 entries with approximately 500 fields in each entry) currently handled in Oracle. The data contains categorical variables only. At the current stage we suggest classification and clustering analysis. We are planning to perform the analysis in R and would be very grateful for any

Hi. I frequently use RMySQL package to interface R with MySQL databases. I was having a try with package DBI and I got the following error: > library(RMySQL) > library(DBI) > drv <- dbDriver("MySQL") > ch <- dbConnect(drv, dbname="mydb", user="myuser", password="mypasswd") > ibm <- dbGetQuery(ch,"select * from table where

I'm having some problems with valid field names when using RMySQL to interface R (version 1.7.0, under RedHat9.0), to MySQL (4.1.0-alpha). I think I've spotted the problem and a solution (which is working for me), but I wanted to share this with you as I may be missing something. (Note: I'm aware that this is an old R version, but I've checked the code of the lastest version of

Dear all, I've recently encountered a strange behaviour when using R with portuguese accented characters. The most curious aspect is that using the same code with ESS under XEmacs the behaviour is different. My system is: > R.version _ platform i386-pc-mingw32 arch i386 os mingw32 system i386, mingw32 status major

I am running some models (for the first time) using rpart and am getting results I don't know how to interpret. I'm using cross-validation to prune the tree and the results look like: Root node error: 172.71/292 = 0.59148 n= 292 CP nsplit rel error xerror xstd 1 0.124662 0 1.00000 1.00731 0.093701 2 0.064634 1 0.87534 1.08076 0.092337 3 0.057300 2

Dear R list, I'm having some problems with font encodings when using R+Sweave+Latex in my native language: Portuguese.

Hello to everybody, Does anyone has implemented a function for evaluating models using windowing strategies, such as growing window or sliding window ones? The aim is to evaluate regression models on a time series data. I do not use cross-validation once data sorted in a radom way does not make sense when evaluating time series. Thanks Joao Moreira

Hi, i 'dont understand how to take a general formula, view this: x<-1:5 y<-c(0,1,1.7,2,2.1.4) dummy<-data.frame(x=x,y=y) formula<-"y~A*log(x)/log(2)" formu<-as.formula(formula) fm<-lm(formu,data=dummy) Error in eval(expr, envir, enclos) : Object "A" not found but A is the parameter of fitting, why is this?Thanks Ruben

Dear list, I've recently came across a problem that I think I've solved and that I wanted to share with you for two reasons: - Maybe others come across the same problem. - Maybe someone has a much simpler solution that wants to share with me ;-) The problem is as follows: expand.grid() allows you to generate a data.frame with all combinations of a set of values, e.g.: >

Dear R-user, I wish to know if someone is using R as concern Datamining or KDD (Knowledge Discovery in Database) and if already exists a R package specialized in this kind of analysis. I found this contributes on the R web site: [20] Diego Kuonen. Introduction au data mining avec R : vers la reconqu??te du `knowledge discovery in databases' par les statisticiens. Bulletin of the Swiss

Hello all, Im just beggining using R. I have read a couple of introductory documents but they are very general. Is there a document focused on classification? (this is what Ill be using R for). Examples would be just fine. Thanks in advance, Ulises

Are there any packages in R that are suitable for doing time series forecasting using neural networks? I have looked in the nnet package and neural package and they both seem geared towards classification. thanks, Spencer [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Hi r-people :) I'm sorry to disturb but I must admit that I know amazingly little about R and similar statistics-packages/languages and I'm kind of lost on where to start. I'm currently working on a datacollection framework for postgresql (The db doesn't really matter except that I hope to use PL/R) and I would like to be able to predict future values preferable 1 day or more

R people, I need to know if is possible to make data mining with R. If so, is there any manual or somewhere/one to consult about that. Thank you very much Adri?n

Asterisk work does not pay all of my bills, so I have joined up with a company that has a very good payment plan. I have recently become a Mona Vie Independent Distributor. I am not going to go into a sales pitch. This is just an FYI to this opportunity. The company has grown into a Billion dollar company in just 2 years. This company's compensation plan is the best and quickest that I have
