Subsetting using [] vs. head(), gives different results. R code: > head(train$data, 5) [1] 0 0 1 0 0 > train$data[1:5, 1:5] 5 x 5 sparse Matrix of class "dgCMatrix" cap-shape=bell cap-shape=conical cap-shape=convex [1,] . . 1 [2,] . . 1 [3,] 1 .

See: help('dgCMatrix-class', pack=Matrix) If Martin Maechler happens to respond to this you should listen to him rather than anything I write. Much of what the Matrix package does appears

Good Afternoon I have noticed results similar to the following several times as I have used R over the past several years. My .csv file has a header row and 3073 rows of data. > rskreg<-read.table('D:/data/riskregions.csv',header=T,sep=",") > dim(rskreg) [1] 2722 13 > rskreg<-read.csv('D:/data/riskregions.csv',header=T) > dim(rskreg) [1] 3073

Thank you for your responses. I guess I don't feel alone. I don't find the documentation go into any detail. I also find it surprising that, > object.size(train$data) 1730904 bytes > object.size(as.matrix(train$data)) 6575016 bytes the dgCMatrix actually takes less memory, though it *looks* like the opposite.

My goal is to prepare a thematic map of the US, with states shaded according to their values for a variable of interest. I would like to include an inset for Alaska in the upper left and an inset for Hawaii in the lower left. If possible, I'd like to use Albers conic projection, or something similar. Thus far I have tried using the maps package with its state database (which omits

Hi, Could any one point me to the projection, and parameters if necessary, that would show each country/continent with it's area accurately refelcted on the plot? E.g. aitoff vs. albers vs. bonne vs. cylequalearea vs. guyou - they don't all look the same to mee but some of the documentations suggests they are equal area? Of course this isn't my field, so I am largely guessing and am

Dear R list, I came across dgCMatrix. I believe this class is associated with sparse matrix. I see there are 8 attributes to train$data, I am confused why are there so many, some are vectors, what do they do? Here's the R code: library(xgboost) data(agaricus.train, package='xgboost') data(agaricus.test, package='xgboost') train <- agaricus.train test <- agaricus.test

Can someone help me out with a "small" problem? I've started using netcdf files recently, and I want to extract the grid id and also the coordinates from a HIRHAM netcdf file. I know how to extract a slice of dataset both in space and in time and I also know the area that this file should cover, however I have no idea regarding the reference for both LAT/LON and RLAT/RLON. I tried

Using R 2.0.1 on Windows XP, I am getting an error msg: Error in .Fortran("conic", nxy = nxy, npt = npt, CP = cp, EP1 = ep1, EP2 = ep2, : Fortran function name not in load table I am wondering if there is a way to see what function names are in the load table? Maybe the function name has been altered? The first thing I do in my analysis script is to load a DLL, conic.dll,

Dear R, I have a bunch of geographic locations specified by lat-long coordinates. What's an easy way to calculate geographic distance between any two points? OR, perhaps there is a function for calculating a distance matrix for K sites? Sincerely, Scott Chamberlain [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Dear all, 1. How can I compute the intersecting area between 2 polygons ? 2. I have polygons with coordinates in decimal degrees (i.e. 13 deg 30 min = 13.5 decimal degrees). I want to compute their area and get the results in square meters or square kiometers. Can anyone give me a conversion coefficient or a pointer where I can find this information (sorry for this off topic question) ? Thanks

Water engineer here. The standard approach is to 1) get the storage vs. elevation data from the designers of the reservoir or, barring that, 2) get the bathymetry data from USBR or state DWR, or, if available, get the DEM data from USGS if the survey was done before the reservoir was built or 3) get a boat+sonar with GPS? +lots of time and survey the bottom elevation yourself. Put the xyz

Running R version 2.6.1 under Gentoo Linux, I'm trying to produce a thematic map of the USA using the gmaps package. The result thus far has two problems from my point of view. First, the projection (Miller cylindrical?) elongates southern states and flattens northern ones unattractively. I'd prefer Albers conic projection or something similar. Second, the inset for Alaska is placed

Dear all; Thank you for your reply. David has explained an interesting method. David I have DEM file of the region and I have extracted the xyz data from that. Also I can extract bathymetry data as xyz file. I have calculated the storage (volume) of reservoir at the current elevation. But the method I have used to calculate the volume is different from your method. I have crop DEM by the reservoir

summary: I can display a lon-lat map on a lattice::layerplot, and I can display a Lambert conformal conic (LCC) map on a spam::image, but I can't display an LCC map on a lattice::layerplot. Example follows. What am I doing wrong? details: I've been using `lattice` (via `rasterVis`) successfully to display global atmospheric data, which works well enough (though I am definitely intrigued

Just wondering if there are any Zaurus owners out there using there zaurus as a voip phone?? I'm trying to decide which on to buy. The sl-6000 is perfect for phone use from what I've read, but it's not very pocket friendly (http://www.sharpusa.com/images/hpc_SL6000_pic1.jpg) The clamshell models (http://conics.net/shp/pda/zaurus-sl-c700/sl-c3000.html) are much nicer but would
