Hello list, I'm trying to get some old windows Win95/98 games to run without too much luck. This example is a Sierra Hoyle Classic Games CD from 1998, which should be enough to keep my wife happy without having to reboot my computer back into windows...if I can get it to work. The installer itself runs fine, and even plays a sample sound clip to test the sound before installing. After

Hello, I've been trying every now and then to find a cross operating system solution that would let me access PostgreSQL (and PostGIS) from R, or to access R from PostgreSQL. I know of pl/r, which accomplishes the latter, but has yet to be successfully ported to Windows. Similarly, I've tried to use Rdbi and DBI, but I haven't had luck with those on Windows either for connecting to

Hello, When I am writing in sqldf or RSQLite I lose the decimals in my matrix. The only way I can get decimals is by multiplying by 1.00000, etc. I have tried manipulating the options, but it is only effective once I multiply by 1.0000. I appreciate any suggestions! Thanks! Example: z <- sqldf ("select ST, SUM(AGEP*PWGTP)*1.000000000/SUM(PWGTP)*1.00000000000000 as wgtage from ss09

Dear, We are trying to read an asciifile using the read.table() function and discovered that only 4 decimals are read. Any idea how to get more decimals?

I am trying to use round()to force R to display a specific number of decimals, but it seems to display <=2 decimals no matter what I specify in the digits argument. As an alternative I tried signif(), but it also produces unexpected results. See example code and results below. Format() works, but then the result no longer is numeric. Am I missing something simple? I am using R 2.9.0 on Windows

Dear all, Are there any functions to convert decimals to fractions in R? I have the result: > summary(as.factor(complete.ID)) 0 0.0133333333333333 0.04 2256 488 230 0.0666666666666667 0.0933333333333333 0.106666666666667 2342 310 726 0.133333333333333

Another newbie question: How do i convert a float to a string, rounded to a certain number of decimals? Thanks -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

Hi all, I''m working on a financial app, and have set up some columns in my tables as decimals with precision => 8 and scale => 2. My migration looks like: change_column :lineitems, :price, :decimal, :precision => 8, :scale => 2 change_column :payments, :amount, :decimal, :precision => 8, :scale => 2 I''ve run the migration and restarted the server. I

Hi, I apologize if there is a simple answer to this question that I've missed. I did search the mailing list but I might not have used the right keywords. Why does sum(A3^2) give the result of 1, but sum(A3^2)==1 give the result of FALSE? > A3<-matrix(nrow=3,c(1/(2^.5),1/(2^.5),0)) > A3 [,1] [1,] 0.7071068 [2,] 0.7071068 [3,] 0.0000000 > sum(A3^2) [1] 1 >

Folks, the first person to figure this one out will make my day. Let''s just say I''ve tried everything for the past few hours, and I''ve become frustrated to the point of forum-posting. So...ready? Here goes... I keep getting this error: "553 This SMTP server requires authorisation. The password you''ve entered is incorrect" ->

Try this: 0.7-0.3==0.4 (We get FALSE) 0.7-0.3<0.4 (We get TRUE) but 0.8-0.3==0.5 (TRUE) 0.8-0.3<0.5 (FALSE) Funny, he? There is a way around: round(0.7-0.3,1)==0.4 (TRUE) Obviously there is a problem with some combinations of decimal subtractions, that - we have the feeling - shouldt be solved.

Hi, I am sure there is a reason but ...... why larger decimal numbers get rounded to the nearest integer? Example: a <- 3308000.5 a [1] 3308001 I would like my numbers to be decimals .... since they do represent coordinates and i don't want them rounded .... how can i keep them as they are? Thanks, Monica _________________________________________________________________

Hi, I'm trying to calculate some functions loop, unfortunately my data are decimal numbers that not allow me to get an accurate estimate. I do not want to use neither "round "nor "signif" but I would prefer to have all the information available, (the function loop is generic so you should adapt to all data, not just those in particular). The approximation error is

Rails3.1.3 I have db type, startp:integer I need to change it to float. More specifically, 1.2, 45.1, 143.8 ... I have two questions: 1. Is removing and adding the field through migration the only way? in other words, is there a single command to change the type? 2. Is there anyway to limit the decimal place to only one? 56.3, 34.2... are acceptable, but 23.112, 77.34, ... are

Hi everybody, I'm trying to set the number of decimals (i.e. the number of digits after the "."). I looked into options but I can only set the total number of digits, with options(digits=6). But since I have different variables with different order of magnitude, I would like that they're all displayed with the same number of decimals. I searched for it and found the format()

Dear all, I have some trouble with the number of decimals in R (currently R 2.9.0). For instance: > options()$digits [1] 3 let me hope that I will get three digits where useful when a number is printed. BUT: > 44.25+31.1+50 [1] 125 No way to get the right result 125.35 Can anybody tell me what's happens ? Patrick

Hi, Novice UsR here. I have a csv file that contains 13 columns of numeric data that have decimal places (for the most part). After reading in the file RevFCast = read.csv("RevAnalysisNov2016_April2018.csv", header=TRUE, dec = ".", stringsAsFactors=FALSE) and viewing the data View(RevFCast) Some of the fields came in with the correct decimals and some not? The view in R:

Hello list, I've been trying to get the PostgreSQL PL/R library to compile on windows (http://www.joeconway.com/plr/). The author of this library says the problem is likely because the distributed R.dll isn't compiled as a shared dll. Is this the case? If so, is there any way to compile it such that it is shared? If that's not the case, than maybe someone on this list has a better

The stored numbers are correct. They are rounded on printing. print(RevFCast, digits=17) See ?options And scroll down to digits.
