similar to: 'Save Workspace' gives "recursive default argument reference" -- workaround?

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,

When preparing a series of histograms I found that hist was combining the two lowest categories or bins, 1 and 2. Specifying breaks, as illustrated below, resulted in the correct histogram: values <- sample(10,500,replace=TRUE) hist(values) hist(values,breaks = 0:10) Apparently, the number of values strictly less than 1 is shown in the first bin (and since none is less than 1,

Does R provide a function analogous to LS() or str() that reports the storage space, on disk or in memory, required by objects? Ben Fairbank

Hello R users -- If I have a dataframe such as the following, named "frame" with the columns intended to be named col1 through col6, > frame col1 col2 cmlo3 col4 col5 col6 [1,] 3 10 2 6 5 7 [2,] 6 8 4 10 7 1 [3,] 7 5 1 3 1 8 [4,] 10 6 5 4 9 2 and I want to correct or otherwise change the

I've changed the heading because this really is another thread. I think it inevitable that there will, in the course of time, be other lists that are devoted, in some shape or form, to the concerns of practitioners (at all levels) who are using R. One development I'd not like to see is fracture along application area lines, allowing those who are comfortable in coteries whose

I bogged down about half way through reading the Green Book, in part because it became increasingly difficult to understand how some of the ideas related to R, as opposed to S (which I have not used). Does any reader know whether there is a document that points out differences between S and R that would be helpful in reading the Green Book? Ideally, perhaps, I need a "crib sheet" to

I am finding complex analyses easier than some elementary operations in R. In particular I want to do some low level exploratory data analyses with data in a data frame but cannot find commands to easily insert, remove (delete), rename, and re-order (arbitrarily, not sort) columns. I see that the micEcon package has an insertCol command, but that is for matrices, not data frames. I have looked

Greetings guRus -- If a variable, e.g., 'varname', is a character string, e.g. varname <- "datavector", and I want to apply a function, such as table(), to datavector, what syntax or method will do so using only the variable varname? This seems similar to indirect addressing, but I have not seen a method for it in the R manuals. Is there a general name for such indirect

Hello R List - I have to import Excel files (either as .csv files or using RODBC) into R (2.4.1, Windows) and operate on dates and times (e.g. find minutes between times, change dates to days of week or analyze by weeks of year). The help files for format.Date, strptime, as.POSIX, DateTimeClasses, etc. etc. are informative but perhaps a little terse. I have googled unsuccessfully for a more

I am performing a large (105 variable) factor analysis with factanal, specifying promax rotation. I kow that some loadings over 1.0 are not unsual with that rotation, but I have some as large as 1.2, which seems extreme. I am skirting the assumptions of the model by using responses on a 7-point rating scale as data; I may have to go back and compute polychoric correlations instead of product

Greetings guRus -- I have successfully queried a large (24,445 rows by 281 cols.) in-house database using the following RODBC query (without the line breaks) testout <- sqlQuery(channel, "select idSchedule,EXCL_Total from dbo.vwC1198_2006_RawData_With_CMPL_EXCL") This returns a dataframe of 24445 rows and two columns (as intended), but the following command testout

Hello R users, I have a puzzle with the VGAM package, on my first excursion into generalized additive models, in that this very nice package seems to want to do either more or less than what I want. Precisely, I have a 4-component outcome, y, and am fitting multinomial logistic regression with one predictor x. What I would like to find out is, is there a single nonlinear function f(x) which acts

Hello, i have a linux box which is acting as a lan router towards the internet doing traffic shaping. My link is 10Mbit/s full duplex. I have set some HTB classes with a rate of 20% (2Mbit/s) and a ceil of 95% (9.5Mbit/s). Is such an excursion of bandwidth in the HTB classes feasible for HTB to control? What Timer frequency (kernel menuconfig) is the most suitable among 250, 300 and 1000Hz

Hi Everyone, I have a question regarding the construction of 3D graphs in 'R', BUT these graphs also need to illustrate movement (with time) of the prostate gland (using radiological techniques). I am not sure how to do this in 'R' although I'm sure there is some way of doing it. Below, I have copied and pasted some of the data with which I'm working on. The data

Hi all! I use Centos-7 all the time. I also have a Fedora-26 VM that I use only occasionally. Today I noticed that ls on the two systems gives different results when listing the same (networked) directory. the one on fedora 26 shows files with spaces in the names like this: 'CHURCH FAMILY ADDRESS AND PHONE LIST.doc' whereas the one on Centos shows it without the quotes. both systems

Greetings helpRs -- I would like to use plot() to plot two cumulative distribution curves so that a user of the plot can compare the distributions of the two variables. The following code draws two distributions separately, but I cannot find the instruction necessary to add a second cumulative distribution to the first one. Any suggestion would be very welcome. x1 <-

Hello R users -- I am using matplot to prepare graphs and cannot find a way to use (for example) box(lwd=3) within the matplot command and instead have been setting the box line width after drawing the graph, by using box(lwd = 3). Looking over the ?par options and the matplot() help I do not see a way to set box width within matplot. Is there such an option? Thanks for suggestions,
