Thanks to the help of many on this list, I am now an R user and have been able to write some functioning code to do matching estimation. I have two for loops (i in 1:3, and j in 0:2). Within the loops, I had been creating matrices of relevant estimation coefficents in order to make lots of LaTeX tables. Well, now I want to be able to combine the results of many different estimations from within

To anyone who uses the Match() function in the Matching library... How do you go about deciding how many matches you will use? With my data, my standard errors generally get smaller if I use more matches. Speaking of standard errors, when correcting for heteroscedasticity, how many matches do you use (this is the Var.cal option). It seems to me that it might make sense to use the same number

I am using R for Unix and want to make some LaTeX tables. I have already played around in R for Windows and have succeeded in making tables that I want using the following code: latex(Estimates, file='out.tex', rowlabel='',digits=3) However, when I use this code in Unix, I can never find the file "out.tex". I assumed that R would send the file to whatever directory I

Does anyone out there use dcolumn=TRUE in the latex() function in the Hmisc library? I would like to line up the data in a latex table I'm making using latex(), but I'm having some issues with this feature. Since there is no description of it in the help, I thought that it might be incomplete or something like that. On a related note, if anyone knows how to get the end result I want

I would like to use a for loop to run estimations on 12 different subsets of a dataset. I have the basics of my script figured out, but I am having problems getting the loop to name some files as I would like. Here is a sketch of my code: sub.dataset <- c(101, 201) #Assume I only have two subsets which I call 101 and 201 for (i in 1:length(sub.dataset)) { #Estimation commands

Dear R users, I am trying to become a convert to R (from Stata), and I'm having some growing pains. Is there anyone would be willing to answer a few basic questions I have? Of course I am using the relevant help guides... Thanks, Brian Quinif ps. If there is anyone at UGA on this list, I'd love to hear from someone local.

I have a dataset with 4 years of students, and normally I want to estimate things using each individual year, so I have a for loop as follows for (i in 1:4){} However, the only way I know how to calculate estimates using all four years of data is to put the estimations outside of the loop. Is there anyway to make a for loop that uses all four years at once, then uses each individual year?

When I try to install hte Econometrics view I get the following error: CRAN task view Econometrics not available in: install.views("Econometrics") I have already install the ctv package and loaded it before trying to install the above... Any ideas as to what's going on?

Consider this: > y <- matrix(1:8, ncol=2) > is.matrix(y[-c(1,2),]) [1] TRUE > is.matrix(y[-c(1,2,3),]) [1] FALSE > is.matrix(y[-c(1,2,3,4),]) [1] TRUE It seems like an inconsistent behaviour: - with 2 or more rows we have a matrix - with 1 row we do not have a matrix and - with 0 rows we have a matrix again I just stumbled on this behaviour, because I had a problem with my

I have a question about how to reference variables in a dataframe. Normally, after I have read in some Stata data using the following command all <- read.dta('all.dta') Whenever I want to use the variable "sat.vr1" in the "all" data frame, I do so using all$sat.vr1 However, I'd like to be able to use the sat.vr1 variable without the "all$" (as well

I have found out that the way to have a break apart a long caption in the way that one desires is to have a short caption for use in the list of tables that is not broken with \\ I can manually adjust the LaTeX output from the Hmisc function latex() to get the tables how I want them. However, I would like to automate the creation of these tables. Inside the latex() function, I tried this:

The file consists of headers and values, such as 12.4283675334551 (so 13 numbers behind the decimal point). If this dataframe is read with

Hi there I am going to calculate VAT at one of my websites, and UK VAT is 17.5 %. So the question is how to round up some value to two decimal points? I often get values like 6,991.. In php I was using round function round($price, 2) is in ruby something similat to PHP''s round function where I could specify number of decimal places ? P.

I would like to limit the significant figures of the calibrated parameters determined by genoud() in the Rgenoud package. Below is some example output, where column 1 is model run number, columns 2-7 are the parameter values, and columns 8-12 are model fit statistics. I would like genoud to internally limit parameters to 4 decimal places as shown in this output. It is clear that the function is

Here's one possibility, assuming muhat and sigmahat are estimtes of mu and sigma from N iid draws of N(mu, sigma^2): tStat <- abs(x - muhat) / sigmahat pValue <- pt(tStat, df=N, lower=TRUE) I'm not quite sure what df tStat should have (exercise for math stat), but given fairly large N, that should make little difference.

Hello, I have a column in a data frame that need to be 10 digits long. As such: Decimal.Year 1 1994.25997 2 1994.26020 However, R keeps rounding the digits. As such: Decimal.Year 1 1994.260 2 1994.260 *Is there any way to stop this from happening?* Here is how I created the data frame: x <- read.table('bats_1994_CTD.txt') colnames(x) <-

This is more of mysql question then asterisk :D . Most voip providers use 6 second rounding for costing . My asterisk server stores call cdr's in mysql properly with billsec field containing number of billed seconds . I want to know some function to round this to 6 seconds ( or any custom valud like 30 seconds ) ..Suppose if billsec field is 3 seconds then it should round to 6 seconds , if

Dear all, A hopefully simple question: how do I round a series of values (held in an object) to the nearest 5? I've checked out trunc, round, floor and ceiling, but these appear to be more tailored towards rounding decimal places. Thanks, Steve _________________________________________________________________ icons.

Hello, I am trying to print a table with numbers all rounded to the same number of digits (one after the decimal), but R seems to want to not print ".0" for integers. I can go in and fix it one number at a time, but I'd like to understand the principle. Here's an example of the code. The problem is the 13th element, 21 or 21.0: >nvb_deaths <- round(ss[,10]/100,digits=1)

Hi All I am trying to use the round function on some columns of a dataframe while leaving others unchanged. I wish to specify those columns to leave unchanged. My attempt is below - here, I would like the column d3 to be left but columns d1, d2 and d4 to be rounded to 0 decimal places. I would welcome any suggestions for a nicer way of doing this. d1= rnorm(10,10) d2= rnorm(10,6) d3=
