similar to: Adding elements in an array where I have missing data.

I have a data frame whose first colum contains the names of the variables and whose second colum contains the values to assign to them: : kkk <- data.frame(vars=c("var1", "var2", "var3"), vals=c(10, 20, 30), stringsAsFactors=F) If I do : assign(kkk$vars[1], kkk$vals[1]) it works : var1 [1] 10 However, if I try with mapply

Hello everybody. I've been experimenting with mapply(). Does anyone else have problems with: R> mapply(rep,times=1:4, MoreArgs=42) (I get a seg fault). robin R> R.version _ platform powerpc-apple-darwin6.6 arch powerpc os darwin6.6 system powerpc, darwin6.6 status beta major 1 minor 8.0 year 2003 month 10 day 02 language R >

Hi List, I'm trying to work out how to use which(), or another function, to find the top-level index of a list item based on a condition. An example will clarify my question. a <- list(c(1,2),c(3,4)) a [[1]] [1] 1 2 [[2]] [1] 3 4 I want to find the top level index of c(1,2), which should return 1 since; a[[1]] [1] 1 2 I can't seem to work out the syntax. I've tried; which(a

Wandering in R archives, and seeing the message attached below, I noticed that: mapply(rep,times=1:4, MoreArgs=42) still segfaults on R 2.2.0, and thought I should be a good citizen and report it, even if I do not have an actual problem

Hello! I have noticed that mapply() drops names in R 2.3.1 as well as in r-devel. Here is a simple example: l <- list(a=1, b=2) k <- list(1) mapply(FUN="+", l, k) [1] 2 3 mapply(FUN="+", l, k, SIMPLIFY=FALSE) [[1]] [1] 2 [[2]] [1] 3 Help page does not indicate that this should happen. Argument USE.NAMES does not have any effect here as it used only in a bit special

Dear all, I would like to know how to merge columns like: Input file: V1 V2 V3 V4 V5 V6 1 G A G G G G 2 A A G A A G Desired output file: V1 V2 V3 1 G/A G/G G/G 2 A/A G/A A/G So for every 2 consecutive columns merge their content into one. Thanks in advance. [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Despite the spirited arguments of various R-core folks who feel that mle() doesn't need a "data" argument, and that users would be better off learning to deal with function closures, I am *still* trying to make such things work in a reasonably smooth fashion ... Is there a standard idiom for "merging" environments? i.e., suppose a function has an environment that I want

How to I "recode" a factor into a binary data frame according to the factor levels: ### example:start set.seed(20) l <- sample(rep.int(c("locA", "locB", "locC", "locD"), 100), 10, replace=T) # [1] "locD" "locD" "locD" "locD" "locB" "locA" "locA" "locA"

I'm trying to use Rprof() to identify bottlenecks and speed up a particullary slow section of code which reads in a portion of a tif file and compares each of the values to values of predictors used for model fitting. I've written up an example that anyone can run. Generally temp would be a section of a tif read into a data.frame and used later for other processing. The first portion

Hello all I would like to ask your help use mapply. I have a function called findCell that takes two arguments(x,sr) where x is a vector of size two (e.g x<-c(2,3) and sr is a matrix. I would like to call many times the findCell function (thus I need mapply) for different x inputs but always for the same sr. as x is a vector of size two (two cells) I want to pass inside inside the following

Several bugs are present in R-2.15.3 and R-alpha due to naive copying of list elements. The bug below is due to naive copying in subset.c (with similar bugs for matrices and arrays): a<-list(c(1,2),c(3,4),c(5,6)) b<-a[2:3] a[[2]][2]<-9 print(b[[1]][2]) Naive copying in mapply.c leads to the following bug: X<-1+1 f<-function(a,b) X A<-mapply(f,c(1,2,3),c(4,5,6),SIMPLIFY=FALSE)

Dear expeRts, I am trying to wrap up a package "utilities" (for my internal use). After adding a function datNAtreat that uses mapply, R CMD check gives WARNINGs for "S3 generic/method consistency", "checking replacement functions" and?"checking foreign function calls", all of which are accompanied by the following error message: Error in .try_quietly

Hi, I have a 7000x7000 matrix, and each element is an integer. For each element, I want to apply the function : wt <- 0 for(q in 1:count){ wt <- wt + 0.5^(q-1) } I get the value of 'count' from the elements in the matrix , and want to store the corresponding 'wt' value for that element. I suppose I could loop through the matrix, and apply the function to each

I have a general style question about R coding. Suppose I'm writing a function (foo1) that calls other functions (foo2, foo3, ...) which have complicated argument lists (e.g. optim(), plot()), _and_ I may be calling several different functions in the body of foo1. Since foo2 and foo3 have different sets of arguments, I can't just use "..." ; I did write some code a while ago

Dear list, this works fine: x <- split(iris, iris$Species) x1 <- lapply(x, function(L) transform(L, g = L[,1:4] * 3)) but I would like to multiply each Species with another factor: setosa by 2, versicolor by 3 and virginica by 4. I've tried mapply but without success. Any thoughts? Thanks for any idea! Patrick

Dear all, when I look at the internal of mapply() function, I see a line of code: answer <- .Call("do_mapply", FUN, dots, MoreArgs, environment(), PACKAGE = "base") Can somebody please tell me how to find the source code of 'do_mapply' Thanks, [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Hello, I'm attempting to create a data frame with correlations between every pair of variables in a data frame, so that I can then sort by the value of the correlation coefficient and see which pairs of variables are most strongly correlated. The sm2vec function in the corpcor library works very nicely as shown here: library(Hmisc) library(corpcor) # Create example data x1 = runif(50) x2 =

Hello, I would like to use mapply to avoid using a loop but for some reason, I can't seem to get it to work. I've included copies of my code below. The first set of code uses a loop (and it works fine), and the second set of code attempts to use mapply but I get a "subscript out of bounds" error. Any guidance would be greatly appreciated. Xj, Yj, and Wj are also lists, and s2,

List: Thank you for the replies to my post yesterday. Gabor and Phil also gave useful replies on how to improve the function by relying on mapply rather than the explicit for loop. In general, I try and use the family of apply functions rather than the looping constructs such as for, while etc as a matter of practice. However, it seems the mapply function in this case is slower (in terms of CPU

Hello all, I wrote a function with many arguments. Then I need to call it many times with changes on some arguments only. Is there any way to write a function or have a method to "update" it, like the relationship between lm() and update()? Many thanks, Edwin Sun ------------ This is the sample code. > test <- function(y, z) { + x <- y +1 + w <- z * 2 + result
