Hi all, I have two questions. Can some one give some help? The first question is regarding the pair of operators "&" and "&&". What is the difference between the two? The second question is regarding "<-" and "=". Usually we use "<-" as the assignment operator. I saw some people use "=". Is there any

Dear list, I know this is really basic question but I just couldn't get anything to work. (I did a R site search with keywords "zoo" and "data frame" but the server timed out on me.) I have a time series which has the following (typical) format, DATE Open High Low Close Volume 01-JAN-2006 5.25 5.25

Hi list, I'm sure the explanation must be laughably simple to the experts out there, but I just could figure it out. I have a simple data frame that looks like, >head(da.off) DDate OffP 1 2005-01-01 41.23 2 2005-01-02 44.86 3 2005-01-03 44.86 4 2005-01-04 43.01 5 2005-01-05 45.47 6 2005-01-06 48.62 where the first column DDate currently is character, and OffP is numeric. I want

Hi folks, Is there a function to show the size of an R object? eg. in Kbytes? Couple months ago Bendix Carstensen posted this marvelous little function lls(), which shows all objects in the current workspace by mode, class and 'size'. This is a wonderful enhancement to the build-in ls() already and I now have it sourced in my Rprofile.site at startup. The only drawback is,

Folks, The projection pursuit regression function in the base R seems to crash when the optimization level is set to zero, i.e. the initial ridge terms are accepted without refitting. I encountered this problem in an out-of-sample prediction exercise using predict. But further investigation suggests the issue is with the ppr fit and predict just sppeds up the crash. The other optlevels seem to be

Following the official instructions to install R on ubuntu 10.04, I issued this command on the prompt, sudo apt-get install r-base Here is the error msg, Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable distribution that

Hi list, I'm trying to turn a date into something productive. (Not what you may be thinking....) I want three functions so I could take a "date" object and get the day of week, month, and year from it. xx <- as.Date("2006-01-05") month(xx) equal 1 day(xx) equal 5 year(xx) equal 2006 I'm aware of the weekdays() and months() functions in the base package. But

hi all members, please, i need you help... now a i´m working with veronoi polygons in a area with projections, but i need cut the polygons left. On other words, i need cut the polygons in the worked area. R help say that use the command voronoi.findrejectsites, but in this command i need put the numbers, any way...this command not cut!! do you can help me? Thank you for help me! José Bustos

Hi folks, This is really minor but to someone not familiar with the various tentacles of the lmer package it could be really annoying. I was trying to plot the posterior density of the fixed effect parameters of a lmer model, > hr.mcmc = mcmcsamp(hr.lmer, n=50000) > densityplot(hr.mcmc, plot.points=F) There is this error, "Error in densityplot(hr.mcmc, plot.points = F) : no

Folks, i thought it should be straightforward but after a few hours poking around, I decided it's best to post my question on this list. I have a data frame consisting of a (large) number of date columns, which are read in from a csv file as character string. I want to convert them to Date type. Following is an example, where the first column is of integer type, while the rest are type

Dear list, First apologize that this is trivial and just betrays my slothfulness at the keyboard. I'm sick of having to type a long name just to get a glimpse of something. For example, if my data frame is named 'AuroraStochasticRunsJune1.df" and I want to see what the middle looks like, I have to type AuroraStochasticRunsJune1.df[ 400:500, ] And often I'm not even sure rows

Folks, I wonder if anything could be said about the distribution of a random variate x, where x = N(0,1)/N(0,1) Obviously x is pathological because it could be 0/0. If we exclude this point, so the set is {x/(0/0)}, does x have a well defined distribution? or does it exist a distribution that approximates x. (The case could be generalized of course to N(mu1, sigma1)/N(mu2, sigma2) and one

Hi all! I would like to import a matlab or gauss code to R. Could you help me?

Folks, I've entered into an R programming territory I'm not very familiar with, thus this probably very elementary question concerning the mechanic of a function call. I want to know from within a function the name of the variables I pass down. The function makes use of the "..." to allow for multiple unknown arguments, myfun = function(...) { do something } In the body I

A colleague was asking me if R does multi-level modelling as opposed to multiple regression. Since I have no knowledge of multi-level modelling (except 5 minutes googling ) I thought that I would as here. Does are offer any multi-level modeling packages? It looked like arm might be one but I was not sure. Thanks

Dear r list, I posted this on the S list last week since i'm using some of the FinMetrics functions on copula. Knowing there is a copula package in R, I figure this would be an appropriate forum to ask this question. I want to model inverse relationship between two (non-normal, non-symmetric) marginals with the gumbel copula, or with any copula. Say, x is lognormal and y is norm. Since

Hi list, I tried to load the package SAGx and failed because it complains it's looking for the Biobass which is not there. Then I looked up the package list and Biobass is not found. I'm trying to run the Jonckheere-Terpstra test and from what I see in the R archive, SAGx is the only place it's been implemented. > library(SAGx) Loading required package: multtest Loading required
