Hi, I'm trying to calculate p-value to findout definitely expressed genes compare A to B situation. I got this data(this is a part of data) from whole organism , and each number means each expression values (that means, we could think 'a' gene is 13 in A situation, and it turns 30 in B situation) To findout probability, I'm going to use Audic - Claverie Method. ( The significance

I am looking for the syntax to capture XML tags marked with /DescriptorName MajorTopicYN="Y"/ , but the combination of the internal space (between "Name" and "Major" and the embedded quote marks are defeating me. I can get all the "DescriptorName" tags, but these include both MajroTopicYN = "Y" and "N" variants. Any suggestions?

Hi, I want to use reutils to obtain the accession numbers of a query search in character format. When I use efetch, the accession number isn't in a character format, and I'm not sure if the number is accurate, because I get the error: Error in file.exists(destfile) : object 'destfile' not found This is what I tried: UIDs<-esearch( "Methylation" ) accession_numbers

Hi, I actually need to download pdfs through R code. The thing which I want to do is that, search for a paper in pubmed, which is possible by using GetPubMed function in the package "NCBI2R?".

I'm struggling with package XML to parse a Garmin file (named *.tcx). I wonder if it's form is incomplete, but appreciably reluctant to paste even a shortened version. The output below shows I can get nodes, but an attempt at value of a single node comes up empty (even though there is data there. One question: Has anybody succeeded parsing Garmin .tcx (xml) files? Thanks! Michael

I would like to learn how to parse a mixed text/xml document I downloaded from the sec.gov website (see example below). I would like to parse this to get the value for each xml tag and then access it within R, but I don't know much about xml so I don't even know where to start debugging the errors I am getting in this example code. Can anyone help me get started? Thanks, Roger ftp

For R v2.1.1 patched and R v2.2.0 devel: Calling source(file, chdir=TRUE) with is.character(file) != TRUE, that is, with 'file' as a connection, will generate an error.

Hi, I am working on developing a web crawler in R and I needed some help with regard to removal of javascripts and style sheets from the html document of a web page. i tried using the xml package, hence the function xpathApply library(XML) txt = xpathApply(html,"//body//text()[not(ancestor::script)][not(ancestor::style)]", xmlValue) The output comes out as text lines, without any html

Dear list I tried to read an xml file using the xml package. Unfortunately, some encoding problems occure. E.g. german Umlaut will be red correctly.

Dear List, Do you know any way I can convert XML parameters into column headers. My data is in a csv file with each row containing a xml form of data , and multiple parameters ( <param1> data_val1 </param2> , <param2> data_val2 </param2> ) I want to convert it so each row caters to one record and each parameter becomes a different column. param1
