Hi all, I created environment "mytoolbox" by : mytoolbox <- new.env(parent=baseenv()) Is there anyway I put it in the search path ? If you need some background : In a project, I often write some small functions, and load them into my workspace directly, so when I list the objects with ls(), it looks pretty messy. So I am wondering if it is possible to creat an

Hi, I am trying to output a R data set for use in WinBugs, I used dput(list(x=rnorm(100),N=100),file="bug.dat") But I can't get the intended format: list(x=c(.......),N=100), instead, I got something like this (copied the first two lines): [00000000]???73?74?72?75??63?74?75?72??65?28?6C?69??73?74?28?78???? structure(list(x

Hi, I am writing a function and need to pass a function expression as an argument, for instance, myfun <- function( express) { x<- c(1,2,3) y<-express } if I call the above function by myfun( x*2 ), I get 2 as the result, instead of 2,4,6 , could someone help me to fix this problem ? Furthermore, is that

Hi, I just got a quick question here, when I install a new version of R , is there an easy to keep the installed R packages ? Thanks a lot for any help. tong

Did some search but couldn't find useful result. I am trying to read a n*m dimension data with read.table, what i need is a numeric array, is there any efficient way to allow me get this array directly instead of a list? I tried to use as.array() to change the mode, but seems it doesn't work and i got this error message: "Error in "dimnames<-.data.frame"(`*tmp*`,

Hi all, I'm having sometrouble with managing the seach path, in a function , I need to attach some data set at the begining and detach them at the end, say, myfunction<- function() { attach(mylist); ............. detach(mylist) } , the problem is, since I am still debugging this code, sometimes it got error and ended before reaching the end, thus the data is left in the

Hi All, I have been struggling to figure out how to compile c codes for R use. I am using Win XP + Cygwin + R binaries. After I followed all the instructions in " Building R for Windows" from Murdoch's website, I tried to Run something like : R CMD SHLIB C:\R\test.c , but still didn't get any output. My first question is, does this mean I already did

Hi you guys: I have been wondering if there is any way to change the labeling in plot.ts( ), for example , if I plot two sequences, i always got y labels as "series1", "series2", I tried to use ylab=c((expression(mu_1)),(expression(mu_2))), but it doesn't work. thanks in advance for any help best.

Hi, I have a data set (data frame) describing some features of the students in a high school in the following format: Stu ID Year feature 1 feature 2 ............. 1001 1990 1001 1991 1001 1992 1002 1990 1002 1991 1002 1992 Some features of a few of these students are missing, I would like to

Hi all, I met a problem while using the debug package, I have the following program: mainfun<- function(){ beta<-1 result<-subfun(beta+x) } subfun<-function(expr){ y <- eval(expr, envir=list(x=c(1,2)),enclos = parent.frame()) return(y) } I have no problem using this program without calling the debug

Hi, I just realized that in Matlab, as long as memory is pre-allocated, doing for-loop doesn't cost more time than doing things in vector form. But it seems in R, it still cost a lot to do for-loop. Is there any improvement in R that I missed. Thanks a lot. Merry Xmas Everyone !

Hi, I am moving from MATLAB, where one can easily assign a number of output values from a function like this: [x,y] = myfun(a,b) Then variables x and y can be directly used in the caller workspace. I understand that R functions return a single argument, which could be a list. This in a way makes it possible to return multiple values with a single function call, but accessing the list variables

Dear R-users, I would like to assign elements to a list in the following manner: mylist <- list(a = a, b = b, c = c) To do this I tried myexpr <- expression(a = a, b = b, c = c) mylist <- list( eval(myexpr) ) It ends up by overwriting a when b is assigned and b when c is assigned. Additionally the element of the list does not have a name. Could you tell me why this is the case? Thank

What is the right way to assign a new variable into each a of list of data frames? Here is my failed attempt: mylist <- list(df1 = data.frame(A = runif(5), B = runif(5)), df2 = data.frame(A = runif(5), B= runif(5))) lapply(mylist, function(x){x$Y <- x$A * x$B}) $df1 [1] 0.25589928 0.03446026 0.94992362 0.21388326 0.08668821 $df2 [1] 0.08771839 0.05643553 0.09036894

Hello I tried to define replacement functions for the class "mylist". When I test them in an active R session, they work -- however, when I put them into a package, they don't. Why and how to fix? make_my_list <- function( x, y ) { return(structure(list(x, y, class="mylist"))) } mylist <- make_my_list(1:4, letters[3:7]) mylist mylist[['x']] <- 4:6

Dear all I want to generate a list like this: a <- data.frame(1:10) attr(a,'myattribute') <- 'something' b <- data.frame(11:20) attr(b,'myattribute') <- 'anything' mylist <- list(a,b) Is there a way to place the dataframes into the list giving them the attribute at the same time? I don't want to create all the dataframes in my workspace first.

Hi, I have a dataframe (say myData) and want to get a list (say myList) that contains a matrix for each row of the dataframe myData. These matrices are calculated based on the corresponding row of myData. Using a for()-loop to do this is very slow. Thus, I tried to use apply(). However, afaik apply() does only return a list if the matrices have different dimensions, while my matrices have

Dear all, I have a function "fn" with its own environment, i.e. env <- environment(fn) and env is not .GlobalEnv. And another function getValue <- function(x) environment(x)$mylist which returns the list object "mylist" which is in "env". If I want to modify "mylist", I could write 'getValue<-' <- function(x, value) {

I can define a list containing NULL elements: > myList <- list("aaa",NULL,TRUE) > names(myList) <- c("first","second","third") > myList $first [1] "aaa" $second NULL $third [1] TRUE > length(myList) [1] 3 However, if I assign NULL to any of the list element then such element is deleted from the list: > myList$second <-
