Hi R, Let, x=1:80 I want to sum up first 8 elements of x, then again next 8 elements of x, then again another 8 elements..... So, my new vector should look like: c(36,100,164,228,292,356,420,484,548,612) I used: aggregate(x,list(rep(1:10,each=8)),sum)[-1] or rowsum(x,group=rep(1:10,each=8)) But without grouping, can I achieve the required? Any other ways of doing

Hi R, Please solve my problem........... I am extracting Bloomberg data from R, in a loop. R is getting fatigued by doing this process and gives some errors. I introduced sleep function. Doing this sometimes I get the results and sometimes not. I even noticed that if I give complete rest for R (don't open R window) for 1 day and then run my code with the sleep function, then the

Hi R, This is a cross tabulation question. Suppose that, > d=read.table("clipboard",header=F) > d V1 V2 V3 A One Apple A One Cake A One Cake B One Apple B One Apple B One Apple > table(d$V2,d$V3) Apple Cake One 4 2 But, I don't want the count to be like the above. Here, it is counting the

Hi, I have a scalar valued function with several variables. One of the variables is restricted to be non-negative. For example, f(x,y)=sqrt(x)*exp(y), then x should be non-negative. I need the gradient and hessian for some vector (0,y), i.e., I need the gradient and hessian at the boudary of parameter space. The "numderiv" package does not work, even for f(x)=sqrt(x), if you do

Hi R, I have a list of matrices. I need to get the sum of all the matrices in the list. Example: a=b=c=d=matrix(1:4,2,2) l=list(a,b,c,d) I need: > a+b+c+d [,1] [,2] [1,] 4 12 [2,] 8 16 Something like do.call("+",l) is not working...why is this? I may not be knowing the number of matrices in the list... Thanks, Shubha This e-mail

Hi R, I have a an excel file with a lot of data. I need to create an user interface in R, which has one single screen. It needs to contain a right pane containing the click buttons for different countries (say).

Hi R, My csv files are stored in the order, '1abc.csv', '2def.csv', '3ghi.csv', '10files.csv' in a folder. When I read this into R from list.files (R command: x=list.files("Z:/CSV/fold",full.names=F), I don't get the same order, instead I get the order as "10files.csv" "1abc.csv" "2def.csv" "3ghi.csv". But

Hi R, This is a very trivial one.... C=0.1 I want to check whether my value of C is between 0 and 1 exclusively.... I don't want to use (C>0 & C<1). And I can't use a single statement like (0<C<1). Is there a between function? Or how do we specify from 0 to 1? Does %in% help me? Many Thanks, Shubha This e-mail may contain confidential and/or
