Newbie mistakes saving images to files
I am encountering problems using the png() function to save around 20 charts
to separate files.
My script is conceptually structured as follows:
### <script>
png("Image %03d.png")
# the following are calls to user-defined functions I wrote that call plot,
barchart, etc. with special arguments.
myPlot("a")
myPlot("b")
myPlot("c")

Drawing paths through a grid
I would like to draw a set of points that are equally spaced in a 2-D
grid. Then I would like to draw lines that illustrate different
directed paths through subsets of points. Imagine that the points
correspond to booths in a conference center, and I want to show the
various paths people took to visit the booths (using color to
highlight different types of paths). An example path might be: [(1,1),

Barchart bar lengths not proportionate
When I use barchart (with default formatting options), I get bars whose
lengths/heights are not proportional to their value. For example:
http://drop.io/wbagm6s/asset/capture-png
Many of the values in this chart are 1; however, because the blue bars
extend to the left of the "0" tick mark, those bars appear to represent
higher numeric values. Is there a way to make the length of the

Newbie question about SQL and data sources
Hi,
I just downloaded R, and am wondering about data sources.
Where do people typically get their data for analysis? It seems to me
most people would have their data somehow automatically gathered and
stored in an SQL database (e.g. MySQL), but this seems not to be the
case. Does everyone just use the plain-text tab-separated values
format? If so, how are these tables typically created in the

Possible to write text inside a bar of a barplot?
How can I write text inside a bar of a barplot? I tried using text(), but I
am only able to specify the numeric y-coordinate. The different columns of
my barplot correspond to factors and not numbers, so I don't know how to
access the horizontal positions of the bars. I tried fiddling with different
values of the "adj" argument, but this appears unreliable.

Where is the interpreter (in Instant Rails)?
Hello,
I just installed Instant Rails on my Windows XP box. I would like to
test out the Ruby interpreter on the command line. However, when I run
C:\InstantRails\ruby\bin\ruby.exe from the Windows command prompt, it
hangs. Any ideas on how I can get a Ruby command line?
Thanks,
Rex

Recommended visualization for hierarchical data
Let's say I have data in the following schema that describes the number of
purchases a company has received from each County in the US:
State | County | Purchases
---------------------------------------
NJ | Mercer | 550
CA | Orange | 23
....
I would like to visualize what states contribute the most to the overall
total, and furthermore within those states, what Counties contribute the
most.

newbie query: simple crosstabs
I've been playing around with various table tools, trying to construct a
fairly simple cross-tab. It shouldn't be hard, but for some reason it
turning out to be (for me).
If I want to see how many men and how many women agree with a agree/disagree
question (coded 1,0), I can do this:

C_LogLin (stats/loglin)
Hi everyone,
I have a question regarding a C function of the "stats" package in R.
I tried to understand the ?loglin? basic function of the ?stats?
package implemented in
R. The implemented function itself runs without any problem (perhaps
see sample). When I
ran it line by line it stopped at the lines 23-24 of the
loglin-function; (the following line):

pmatch inconsistency
The pmatch help (see also section 4.3.2 in the R Language Definition)
claims that pmatch with duplicates.ok=FALSE provides the same
functionality as R's argument matching algorithm, modulo how empty
strings are matched.
Here's an undocumented inconsistency between pmatch and R's argument
matching algorithm:

Frequencies, proportions & cumulative proportions
Dear R-Helpers,
I've looked high and low for a function that provides frequencies,
proportions and cumulative proportions side-by-side. Below is the table
I need. Is there a function that already does it?
Thanks,
Bob

loop for a large database
Yes, I am a newbie.
I have a data.frame (MyTable) of 1445846 rows and 15 columns with
character data.
And a character vector (MyVector) of 473491 elements.
I want simply to get a data.frame with the count of how many times each
element of MyVector appears in MyTable.
I've tried a loop with : for (i in 1 : length (myvector)) sum (MyTable== i)
but it crashes my computer.

Changing the default now would require a long deprecation cycle to give
everyone who uses `[.data.frame` and relies on partial matching

Partial matching performance in data frame rownames using [
Hi Hilmar and Ivan,
I have used your code examples to write a blog post about this topic,
which has figures that show the asymptotic time complexity of the
various approaches,
https://tdhock.github.io/blog/2023/df-partial-match/
The asymptotic complexity of partial matching appears to be quadratic
O(N^2) whereas the other approaches are asymptotically faster: linear
O(N) or log-linear O(N log N).

One-to-one matching?
Hi folks,
Can anyone suggest an efficient way to do "matching without
replacement", or "one-to-one matching"? pmatch() doesn't quite provide
what I need...
For example,

matchSample <- c("a","a","b","d")

Muliple partial matches with pmatch
I am using R0.64.1 under Windows 95.
The help for `pmatch' states that:
If `duplicates.ok' is false multiple matches will result
in the value of `nomatch' being returned, and if it is
true, the index of the first matching value will be
returned.
The help for pmatch gives the following examples:

Contingency table and zeros
Hello,
Let's assume I have a vector of integers :

My purpose is to obtain the cumulative distribution of these numerical
data, i.e. something like :
value nb_occur.

<=2 4
<=3 6
<=4 6
<=5 7
For this, I create a table with ;

using string variable as order() function argument
Hello,
In my script I would like to use a loop, which sorts the dataframe
according to different columns, pointed by the string variable.
id col1 col2 col3
1 10 0 4 8
2 11 1 2 2
3 12 0 8 3
4 13 0 5 5
Usually the order() function can be used like this:
sorted = mytable**[order(column3) , ]
which results in properly sorted table:
