Hi, Since "R" is a (very) generic name, I've been having some trouble searching the web for this topic. Due to this, I've just created a Google Custom Search Engine that includes several of the most relevant sites that have information on R. See it in action at: http://google.com/coop/cse?cx=018133866098353049407%3Aozv9awtetwy This is really a preliminary test. Feel free to

gReetings: Is there any way to download a (or a sample of a) crossection of stock market prices? Or is it possible to use get.hist.quote with a *wild card*?

Hi all, [this is a bit hard to describe, so if my initial description is confusing, please try running my code below] #WHAT I'M TRYING TO DO I'd appreciate any help in trying to speed up some code. I've written a script that converts a matrix of integers (usually between 1-10,000 - these represent allele names) into two new matrices of normally distributed values (representing

Hi all, Probably a rudimentary question. I have a flat file that looks like this (the real one has ~10e6 elements): 10110100101001011101011 and I want to pull that into R as a vector, but with each digit being it's own element. There are no separators between the digits. How can I accomplish this? Thanks in advance! Matt -- Matthew C Keller Asst. Professor of Psychology University of

Hi all, Perhaps this is more of a unix question, but I'll give it a try here. I am running 9 different R processes at the same time (called from a shell script using R CMD BATCH). When I use the top program to monitor how they are doing, it is impossible to tell which R process is related to which R script. Is there a way to rename a specific instantiation of an R process in top with

Hi all, Is there a way to skip non-sequential lines using the "skip" argument in the scan function? E.g., I have a matrix with 100 rows and 1e7 columns. I open a connection and want to read only lines 5, 7, 9, etc [i.e., seq(5,99,2)] It might seem that the syntax to do this would be something like this (if only the "skip" allowed vectors in the same way colClasses does in

hi all, I'm full of questions today :). Thanks in advance for your help! Here's the problem: x <- c('18x.6','12x.9','302x.3') I want to get a vector that is c('18x','12x','302x') This is easily done using this code: unlist(lapply(strsplit(x,".",fixed=TRUE),function(x) x[1])) So far so good. The problem is that x is a vector

Hi all, I used to use fwrite() function in data.table but I cannot get it to work now. The function is not in the data.table package, even though a help page exists for it. My session info is below. Any ideas on how to get fwrite() to work would be much appreciated. Thanks! > sessionInfo() R version 3.2.0 (2015-04-16) Platform: x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu (64-bit) Running under: Red Hat

Hi all, I've had one of my most miserable R weeks in memory. I'm trying to deal with huge datasets (>1GB each) but am running up against those pesky memory limits. The libraries filehash and g.data are not very suitable for what I need. I haven't gotten into the sql thing yet. Most recently I've been trying to install the new package ff (not yet on the CRAN repository). I

Help! I accidentally saved my work as an .rdata format instead of .txt I need to somehow get it saved as a .txt file otherwise i'm really in trouble!

Hi all, I have written a script in R that simulates genetically informative data - it is posted on my website and available to the public. This is my first time to write a script for use by others and am learning that it isn't as easy as it seems. To the issue. My script runs fine on my machine and on a server I have access to, but a user has written me saying that it crashes the first time

Hi all - I'm trying to find a way to create dummy variables from factors in a regression. I have been using biglm along the lines of ff <- log(Price) ~ factor(Colour):factor(Store) + factor(DummyVar):factor(Colour):factor(Store) lm1 <- biglm(ff, data=my.dataset) but because there are lots of colours (>100) and lots of stores (>250), I run it to memory problems. Now, not every

Dear Friends, I'm trying to generate a sequence of 100 observations with either a 1 or -1. In other words the sequence should look something like this. y = 1 1 -1 1 -1 -1 -1 1 1 ...... Can somebody please give me some direction on how I can do this in R. Thanks Anup ____________________________________________________________________________________ Don't get soaked. Take a

Hi, everyone: R is new to me. I am writing a nested loop to simulate data for t-test. The following code is wrong. The subscript is out of bounds. Could anyone tell me how to revise it? Thanks, Riddle Chin. result<-matrix(ncol=5, nrow=1000) colnames(result)<-c('N=20','N=40','N=60','N=80','N=100') for (i in 1:1000){ for (j in

Hi Matt Your method is the easiest way for me to install the 64-bit R. I followed the directions on your web site and then did the following: R --arch=x86_64 source("http://bioconductor.org/biocLite.R") biocLite(type = "source",lib = "/Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Versions/2.8/Resources/RLib64") I got many errors and warnings which I copied to the attached file.

Hi All - I recently moved to Vista and reinstalled R. I am able to run R as I typically do (R.exe from the command prompt), and it can work well. However, if I switch windows to, say, firefox or excel or anything else, when I return to the R prompt it no longer works. I am able to use the up and down arrow keys to access previous commands, but no other key stroke has any impact. As long as I

You are asking about (a) a contributed package (b) for a package version that is not in CRAN and (c) an R version that is outdated, which stretches the definition of "on topic" here. Since that function does not appear to have been removed from that package (I am not installing a development version to test if it is broken for your benefit), I will throw out a guess that if you update R

Hi all, I'm giving a talk in a few days to a group of psychology faculty and grad students re the R statistical language. Most people in my dept. use SAS or SPSS. It occurred to me that it would be nice to have a few concrete examples of things that are fairly straightforward to do in R but that are difficult or impossible to do in SAS or SPSS. However, it has been so long since I have used

Hi all, My graduate student is logging onto my macpro and running R through ESS aquamacs (with Mx ssh and then Mx ess-remote). Everything is working fine until we get to graphing. We are trying to give him the ability to look at graphics interactively. The ESS manual is not too helpful: "If you run X11 (See Section 13.3.2 [X11], page 68, X-windows) on both the local and remote machines
