Hi all, I would like to know if it is posible by, someway, to get colMeans from a data.frame with numeric as well as character data, dispersed all over the object. Note that I would like to get colMeans neglecting character data. I am really in need of some function proceeding in that way… All the best Diogo André Alagador [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Dear All, I was trying to follow some of the examples in Venables and Ripley "Modern applied ... with S-plus" I have downloaded a copy of the iris data set and loaded into R. : however I cannot use the apply command (from p47): > apply (iris, 2 ,mean) Error in sum(..., na.rm = na.rm) : invalid "mode" of argument > apply (iris, c(2) ,mean) Error in sum(..., na.rm =

Hi, I have some simple statistics to calculate for a large number of variables. I created a simple function to apply to variables. I would like the variable name to be placed automatically. I tried the following function but is not working. desc = function(x){ media = mean(x, na.rm=T) desvio = sd(x, na.rm=T) cv = desvio/media*100

If I use latex(summary(X)) where X is a data frame with four variables I get something like Rainfall Education Popden Nonwhite Min. :10.00 Min. : 9.00 Min. :1441 Min. : 0.80 1st Qu.:32.75 1st Qu.:10.40 1st Qu.:3104 1st Qu.: 4.95 Median :38.00 Median :11.05 Median :3567 Median :10.40 Mean :37.37 Mean :10.97 Mean :3866

Hi R People: Several of you pointed out that using "tapply" on a data frame will work on the iris data frame. I'm still having a problem. The iris data frame has 150 rows, 5 variables. The first 4 are numeric, while the last is a factor, which has the Species names. I can use tapply for 1 variable at a time: >tapply(iris[,1],iris[,5],mean) setosa versicolor virginica

Hello everyone, I have several problems with exporting to LaTeX the output of numSummary() from the abind package. > numSummary(finance[,"Cash_flow"], statistics=c("mean", "sd", "quantiles")) mean sd 0% 25% 50% 75% 100% n NA 188070.9 414771.9 -426804 26743 53866 150975.5 1871500 54 4 >

Hi folk, I tried this and it works just perfectly tapply(iris[,1],iris[5],mean) but, how to obtain a single table from multiple variables? In tapply x is an atomic object so this code doesn't work tapply(iris[,1:4],iris[5],mean) Thanx and great summer holidays Gianandrea -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/multiple-tapply-tp18868063p18868063.html Sent from the R help

I use by() to generate a summary statistics like so: Lbys <- by(dat[Nidx], dat$LipTest, summary) where Nidx is an index vector with names picking out the columns in the data frame dat. This returns a list of character arrays (see below for str() output) where the columns are named correctly but the rownames are empty strings and the values are strings prepended with the summary

Hi list, One of my co-workers found this problem with 'cor' in his code and I confirm it too (see below).

Greetings R experts, I'm having some difficulty recovering lda objects that I've saved within sublists using the save.image() function. I am running a script that exports a variety of different information as a list, included within that list is an lda object. I then take that list and create a list of that with all the different replications I've run. Unfortunately I've been

Hi! The kernlab function kpca() mentions that new observations can be transformed by using predict. Theres also an example in the documentation, but as you can see i am getting an error there (As i do with my own data). I'm not sure whats wrong at the moment. I haven't any predict functions written by myself in the workspace either. I've tested it with using the matrix version and the

Dear all Is there a simpler method to achieve the following: When I obtain an empty data.frame after subsetting, I need for it to contain one line of NAs. Here's a dummy example: > (.xb <- iris[ iris$Species=='zz', ]) [1] Sepal.Length Sepal.Width Petal.Length Petal.Width Species <0 rows> (or 0-length row.names) > dim(.xb) [1] 0 5 > (.xa <-

I am making a battery of levelplots and wireframes for several fitted models. I wrote a function that takes the fitted model object as the sole argument and produces these plots. Various strange behavior ensued, but I have identified one very concrete issue (illustrated below): when my figure-drawing function includes the addition of points/lines to trellis plots, some of the

Dear all, Are there any packages can estimate the partial linear model. Or any one can give me any suggestions. Many thanks in advance. Jin

Hello, I am puzzled by the behavior of hist() when generating multiple plots per page on the pdf device. In the following example two pdf files are generated. The first results in 4 plots on one pdf page as expected. However, the second, which swaps one of the plot() calls for hist(), results in a 4 page pdf with one plot per page. How might I get the histogram with 3 other scatter

Hi Dieter and R community: I tried both of these three versions with ylim as suggested, none work: I am getting only single (pch = 16) not overlayed (pch =3) everytime. *vs 1* require(lattice) xyplot(Sepal.Length ~ Sepal.Width | Species , data= iris, panel= function(x, y, subscripts) { panel.xyplot(x, y, pch=16, col = "green4", ylim = c(0, 10)) panel.lmline(x, y, lty=4, col =
