Hi I just installed the pastecs package and I am wondering: is there an english (or german) translation of the file pastecs.pdf? If not, is there an explanation somewhere of the object of type 'turnpoints' as a result of turnpoints(), especially the "info" field?

Hi I am trying to install the package "pheno", but it needs the package "nprq" by Roger Koenker et al. which I can I find this package? It does not seem to be on CRAN and googling also doesn't give me an URL - is it still somewhere available?

Hello, I'm trying to get a few turnpoints for a financial time series. There is a function in pastecs that does that. However, I get a large number of turnpoints: library(pastecs) data(EuStockMarkets) dax <-EuStockMarkets[,1] plot(dax) turnp <-turnpoints(dax) summary(turnp) #gives 925 peaks/pits!!! How can specify to get only 30 turnpoints? Second question: the extract function

Hi Consider the following code > x <- rep(1:13, 13) > y <- 1:3 I want to select all elements in x which are equal to 1, 2 or 3. I know that I could use > sel <- x==y[1] | x==y[2] | x==y[3] > x[sel] to obtain the values, but in my analysis, the y-vector is thousands of elements long. Is there any way, that I can do that easily? Thanks Rainer -- Rainer M. Krug, Dipl.

Good morning once more. My problem of yesterday has been addressed. Having learned a few tricks from that, I wish to ask another question in connection with that. My data is a cosmic ray data consisting of dates and counts. When I plot a graph of counts versus dates, the resultant signal shows a number of maximum and minimum points. These minimum points (turning points) are of interest to me.

Hi I created a complex layout with using layout() and it looks exactly as I need it. But I don't want to print in the order in which the subfigure are numbered, but in a different order. How can I navigate in the layout so that I can specify the subfigure in which to plot? At the moment I am using a function which is converting the number to mfg parameter for par, but it does not seem to

Hi I tried to install rkward under ubuntu hardy heron, but it tried to use the one from the cran repository which was newer, but it did not install. To be able to install rkward, I had to disable the cran repository, install rkward, lock it's version and enable the repository again. I have the feeling, that the dependencies are not correct (it is looking for libqt4GUI, but I have a

Hi Sorry for crossposting, but I think this can be of interest for GRASS and R users. I am planning to write a package to make the use of GRASS from R easier. The idea is to wrap the system call to execute the GRASS command into an R command of the same name. e.g: r.to.vect <- function(..., intern=TRUE, ignore.stderr=FALSE) { comm <- paste( "r.to.vect ", ...,

Hi I am running analysis with Kcross from the package spatstat and I am getting a message that R can not allocate enough memory for a vector of 900MB. R seems to be running towards the 2GB limit per process. The dataset is not to big (ca 3000 points) but the mask for the points is extremely irregular (a buffer around roads which have been sampled) and I can do trhe analysis if I use a

Hi when executin the following code, I get an "$ operator is invalid for atomic vectors". I understand the meaning of the error (and have seen the warnings in earlier R versions). My question is, is there an updated version of RMySQL which deals with it, or is my on;ly option to switch to RODBC (which I would not like to do as I am using Linux)? If I have to use RODBC, how can I easily

Good evening to everybody. I have a data of four columns - three of the columns represent date while the fourth is counts. Setting 4000 as my minimum point/value, I wish to find out the number of counts that are less or equal to 4000 and the dates they occur. I have installed pastecs and have been trying to use turnpoints function to do this. I have not been much lucky. I am a still learning. I

Hi I have a plist t which contains size measurements of individual plants, identified by the field "plate". It contains, among other, a field "year" indicating the year in which the individual was measured and the "height". The number of measurements range from 1 to 4 measurements in different years. My problem is that I would need the LAST measurement. I only

Hello, I'm aware that recently there has been discussion of R joining forces with an algebra system in some way. Here is my $0.02. I suggest linking R with Maxima (http://maxima.sf.net). Maxima is written in Lisp. Maxima objects are pretty simple. Maxima works on expressions, and almost every expression is a Lisp list of the form ((op) arg1 arg2 arg3 ...) which associates an operator and

Hi, Here's the problem I ran into: the gmp package has a method for apply() so it masks the base::apply function. With gmp installed, I tried to run the function turnpoints() from the pastecs package. It fails because it calls apply() internally, like this: apply(mymatrix,1,max,na.rm=TRUE) , but the code in the gmp package which sets up the operator overload for apply() strictly

hello all i searched the archives and couldn't get a solution to the following question. i have the following function: F=function(z,v) { if (v==-.5) return(1) else return(2*v/z + 1/Recall(z,v-1)) } and while testing whether it works (ie F(z,v) is approx = besselK(z,1+v)/besselK(z,V). the recursion formula allows one to calculate besselK(z,1+v)/besselK(z,V) for large values of z )

Hello, I just notice this: > x <- c(1:4,0:5, 4, 11) > library(pastecs) Loading required package: boot > tp <- turnpoints(x) > extract(tp, no.tp = FALSE, peak = TRUE, pit = FALSE) [1] FALSE FALSE FALSE TRUE FALSE FALSE FALSE FALSE FALSE TRUE FALSE FALSE Warning message: arguments after the first two are ignored in: UseMethod("extract", e, n, ...) >
