similar to: Time rather than dates?

I wonder if anyone could help me find an expression for skipping the last missing values in a vector? The kind of material I have is something like x<-c(23,12,NA,23,24,21,NA,NA,NA) I would like to skip the last NA's, but not the ones in between other vallues. Any hints? (Why not do this by simply take x[1:6]? I have several vectors a couple of thousand observations long with varying

Is there any simple way to add text to the x axis in R? I have tried to add simple characters in R without any greater sucess. As an example of what I want to do is the added C in the following "dumb" plot (produced with MacAnova using the option "dumb:T"): ++------+-------+------+-------+------+-------+------+-------++ 1+ :

I have this typical problem of joining a number of vectors with similar names - a1, a2,..., a10 - which should be concatenated into one. Using c(a1,a2,a3,a4,a5,a6,a,a8,a9,a10) naturally works, but I would like to do it with less manual input. My attempts to use paste() gives a vector of the vector names, see below. The question is how to do the the concatenation? Any suggestions?

Is there any neat way to add a curve (frequency function or the like) to a histogram or other plots? I haven't found one yet... Robert

I would like to have some function for getting an overview of the variables in a worksheet. Class, dimesions, length, number of missing values,... Guess it wouldn't be that hard to set up such a function, but I guess there are others who have made it already. Or is it already a standard feature in the base package? Any suggestions? Robert

When I try to do linear interpolation between financial contracts with maturities on different dates in different months I have come across some behavior I haven't seen before. I have a data frame in R which is loaded from an access database so I can't provide a working example. It was loaded using this code: > dbPath <- "H:/pathToDB/DB.mdb" > channel <-

Hello, I am having trouble getting data ranges to work correctly. I am using the following command to load the db: index << {:title => row[7].to_i, :date => Date.strptime(row[3], ''%Y-%m-%d''), :page_id => row[5].to_i, :page => row[6].to_i, :content_type => row[1].to_i,

The date library was written 20 or so years ago. It was a very good first effort, but the newer Date library has superior functionality in nearly every way. The date library is still available, for legacy projects such as yours, but I do not advise it for new work. To answer your specific questions: 1. What you have is a real bug. The underlying C routine that scans through the text returns

Hello, I have some "stupid" problems managing "date" data. I have a colomn "date", which I converted from a character representation: for example: a="26/02/06" date=strptime(a,format="%d/%m/%y") For one part of the analysis, I'm interested only in the month and the year, so I did: m.y=strftime(date,format="%m/%y") This returns me

Hi, I have a set of irregular time series and i want to produce a simple plot, with dates on x axis and attribute value of y axis. This is simple enough but my x axis is divided automatically by ticks every 5 years. I would like to have a tick every year at January 1st. I am not sure how i can do that - i end up with something very close to what i want, but it is clunky and not very correct. I

Hi, Is there a function that will convert this sort of date code which looks like "years from 1900 + month_number + day_number" with no spaces? As an example Jan. 3rd 2008 would be written as 1080103. Thanks, Mark

I've found several similar issues with write.table/read.table with Dates on this list, but trying to follow this advice I still get an error. First, I read in data from several files, constructing several date/time columns using ISOdatetime > str(Tall$Begin) 'POSIXct', format: chr [1:40114] "2005-10-02 00:00:00" "2005-10-02 00:00:00" ... > length(Tall$Begin)

Every now and then I realize that my attempts to document what all dataframes consist of are unsufficient. So far, I have been writing notes in an external file. Are there any better ways to do this within R? One possibility could be to set up the data as packages, but I would like to have a solution on a lower level, closer to data. I can't find any pointers in the standard manuals.

Hi all, I'm having a little bit of trouble with some date conversions and am hoping someone can help me out. Thanks in advance. OK, I have two sources of data that provide date info in a csv file differently. I've attached a small zipped file with two text files that illustrate both. (Is it ok to send attachments to this list? Not sure. It's very small.) I need to be able to

I have tried to find a neat way to include graphs from R in LaTeX documents, but have not succeeded (I work with a WinEdt/MikTeX combination). The two roads I have stumbled along so far are the following: *Generate postscript files and convert them into EPS files by means of GhostScript or other not so straightforward tools. *Generate pictex files and include these. None of these solutions have
