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! Does anyone know how to convert .rdata to .txt files?? I also tried re-loading the file into R to see if i can re-save it but it doesnt work! i've attached it below... please help me asap! i need to turn it in as a .txt file Thanks

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

(Apologies the previous version was sent as rich text) Hello, I'm new to R, but I've read the intro to R and successfully connected it to an instance of mysql. I'm trying to perform multiple linear regression, but I'm having trouble using the lm function. To start, I have read in a simply y matrix of values(dependent variable) and x matrix of independent variables. It says both

Hi, I'm trying to compile the package biglm, but when I build it with R CMD build biglm, it failed : C:\LOCAL\c-dutang\code\R\biglm2>R CMD build biglm * checking for file 'biglm/DESCRIPTION' ...

Hello folks, I am very excited to have discovered R and have been exploring its capabilities. R's regression models are of great interest to me as my company is in the business of running thousands of linear regressions on large datasets. I am using biglm to run linear regressions on datasets that are as large as several GB's. I have been pleasantly surprised that biglm runs the

I am trying to figure out why 'biglm' can handle large data set... According to the R document - "biglm creates a linear model object that uses only p^2 memory for p variables. It can be updated with more data using update. This allows linear regression on data sets larger than memory." After reading the source code below? I still could not figure out how 'update'

Dear all, I am working on a large dataset and need to use biglm() to perform OLS regressions. I have detected significant ARCH effects which I try to account for using the Newey-West correction. So far, I have worked with NeweyWest() in the sandwich package. NeweyWest() however seems to be unable to handle an object of class "biglm". Looking into the code, I figured out that

Hello colleagues, I have tried to use the package biglm. I want to specify a multivariate regression with a weight. I have imported a large dataset with the library(bigmemory). I load the library (biglm) and specified a regression with a weight. But I get everytime a error message like ?object not found? or ?`weights' must be a formula? or "error in eval(expr, envir, enclos)". I

If a package defined an S3 generic and an S4 generic for the same function (so as to add methods for S4 classes to the existing code), how do I set up the namespace to have them exported? With import(stats) exportMethods(bigglm) importClassesFrom(DBI) useDynLib(biglm) export(biglm) export(bigglm) in NAMESPACE, the S3 generic is not exported. > methods("bigglm") [1] bigglm.RODBC*

I have a big data set that includes character variables of many different values. I'm trying to use ff to read the data and then use biglm.big.matrix to build linear models. However, since big.matrix will convert all character vectors to factors and the character labels will be lost. I decided to create a lookup table outside of R for my character columns and use numbers to represent different

I've been working with a rather large data set (~10M rows), and while biglm works beautifully for generating coefficients, it does not report an r-squared. It does report RSS. Any idea on how one could coax an R-squared out of biglm? Thanks in advance for any help with this!

Dear useR, x is a character string In R: > x<- '32159_3' Which function could enable me to determine the position of underscore in x? In here, the underscore is on the 6th digit of x. --- Yours Sincerely Leon [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Hi everyone, suppose I have a 2D matrix, is there a command to snip out a specific row/column and then remerge the remaining columns/rows back into a contiguous matrix? I will need to repeat this operation quite a bit(reverse selection). Thanks for any insights you can offer. Yifei

Hi all. A question for knowledgeable folks using R on an Intel Mac running OS X 10.4.10 For ease of maintenance, I have broken a large R script into a main script which ?oversees? things by calling other scripts, using ?source?. Let?s call the secondary scripts ?sub-scripts.? I?d like for the sub-scripts to reside in a different directory (again, for ease of maintenance, and so I can access

Hi R-Experts, I'm having a problem with reading a large data file which is in .csv format and size is 120 MB (app.). I was trying to use RODBC package but I found RODBCconnectExcel function only. And can I convert this file to .dbf format? How can I read this file? And also let me know if this was a file in .sas7bdat format, what should I do? Thanks in advance.

Hi Sir, Thanks for making package available to us. I am facing few problems if you can give some hints: Problem-1: The model summary and residual deviance matched (in the mail below) but I didn't understand why AIC is still different. > AIC(m1) [1] 532965 > AIC(m1big_longer) [1] 101442.9 Problem-2: chunksize argument is there in bigglm but not in biglm, consequently,

Hi all, My apologies for a very simple question. I just downloaded R 2.6.0. I want to bring in all of the objects from 2.5.0 that I see when I type ls(). I have no idea how to do that. Thanks in advance.

Hi All Maybe I dont understand it, but I would have expected that the design matrix has as many rows as there were observations available to fit the model. Below a small artificial dataset created, then one model fitted and the design matrix outputted, having 27 rows. Then I delete 6 obs, and fit the model on these 21 obs, but the design matrix that comes out has 26 rows? Thanks for your

Hi all. i am desperating. i need a matrix of p.values from an chi square test. i had it already work but than my computer collapsed when taking the whole data set 800x260 into account. i am sure it looked like this but it doesn't work now. can anybody help me? thanks in advance. x=read.table("C:\...) d=ncols(x) z<=matrix(0,d,d) for(i in 1:d) for(j in 1:d)

Hi R experts, I used biglm to construct a model (which has categorical variables). When I run predict on the model output on a new data (for testing) or on the same data, I get only NA's. I'm able to run predict with some other models constructed with biglm. One reason I suspect is that the model itself has a few undefined terms (NA's). I'm wondering if there's any way to
