Hi there, is there a possibility to count the number of appearances of an element in a vector ? i mean of any given element.. deliver all elements which are exactly xtimes in this vector ? thx in advance !!

Hi everybody, somehow i dont get the shapiro wilk test for normality. i just can?t find what the H0 is . i tried : shapiro.test(rnorm(5000)) Shapiro-Wilk normality test data: rnorm(5000) W = 0.9997, p-value = 0.6205 If normality is the H0, the test says it?s probably not normal, doesn ?t it ? 5000 is the biggest n allowed by the test... are there any other test ? ( i know qqnorm

Dear all, i have a problem with processing dataframes within a function using the "$". Here´s my code: recode_items = function(dataframe,number,medium=2){ # this works q<-paste("columna",number,sep="") # this does not work, particularly because "dataframe" is not processed # dataframe should be: givenframe$columnagivennumber

Dear all, i am stuck with a syntax problem. i have a matrix which has about 500 rows and 6 columns. now i want to kick some data out. i want create a new matrix which is basically the old one except for all entries which have a 4 in the 5 column AND a 1 in the 6th column. i tried the following but couldn´t get a new matrix, just some wierd errors:

HI there, i know this is a basic question, though i need some help because this is somewhat away from my current issue, but nevertheless interesting to me... Lets assume i have some estimated probabilities, say estimated by a logit model. i know i can also state them as an odds ratio. Now i?d like to state these odds ratios as a reference to a specific outcome of my investigated

dear all, how can i get a vector that shows the number of the column of matrix that contains the maximum of the row ?? can?t believe in need a loop for this... i have a 100 x 3 matrix and want to get a 100 x 1 vector with values 1,2,3 . there must be a simple solution. i just cannot find it. i think am searching on the wrong end. thx for help in advance. m.

Dear all, I am trying to avoid a for loop here and wonder if the following is possible: I have a data.frame with 6 columns and i want to get a cross-correlogram (by using ccf) . Obivously ccf only accepts two columns at once and then returms a list. In fact, with a for loop i?d do the following for (i in 1:6) { x[[i]]=ccf(mydf[,i],mydf[,6]) } Is there any chance to the same with

Hi all, though i know this is a simple question, i really hope someone could. I am just trying to compare percents respectively the difference in percents by a simple test. t.test usually compares means and is working like it is supposed to be. Now i wonder how i can use a test in R to test for significant difference between two percentages.

Dear all, i just wonder if there´s a way to use a two column time index field in plm package. the manual says the following concerning data indexing: a character vector of length two containing the names of the individual and the time index, What would y´all do with a quarterly dataset that contains one column for the period and one for the year. Do I have to convert it to one single date

Hi all, i have a pretty easy indexing question, at least i believe so. The main reason i post it here, is that brackets and $ are hard to google. How do I index correctly, if i just want to display the whole dataset conditioned on the fact that some particular column equals one. I know i can do something like: data$somecolumn[data$particularcol ==1] . That will show all "some

Hi there, i´m have vector of kernels. just like: kernels = c('gauss','epan','rectangular') i know there are density.default$kernels, but thats not my question here. my own kernel functions are running and working. my problem is the following is not working: dev.off() par(mfrow=c(3,3)) for(i in 1:length(bw)) { for(j in 1:length(kernels)) {

Hi all, just wondered again, if there is some R editor for Mac OS X comparable to TINN-R on windows. thx in advance..

Hello out there, i am not yet that experienced and trying to my best on a real survey. but i am stuck with a little matrix / vector problem. my vector of answers could have a length of 3 or only one. i want to rbind all the answers into one matrix. (one vector for each participant) answers vectors for one participant could look like: p1: 100 p2: 20 80 p3: 40 10 50 i have the following

Hi all, i am looking to built a simple example of a very basic propensity score adjustment, just using the estimated propensity scores as inverse probability weights (respectively 1-estimated weights for the non-treated). As far as i understood, MLE predictions of a logit model can directly be used as to estimates of the propensity score. I already considered the twang package and the

Dear all, Finally, I made it, my RPostgreSQL works. After working through some tutorials, i was able to plot, get and replace several timeseries. Still I miss the opportunity (syntax) to add data. Most tutorials are about: "Download some S&P data from Yahoo and play around a little". What I want to do is, add data to an existing timeseries. Is there a possibility to add data

Hi all, right now i am simply comparing means. obviously this can be done by the simple t.test respectively the welch test, if var.equal is set to FALSE. just like this t.test( Y ~ group) t.test( Y ~ group, var.equal = FALSE) now that i need to compare weighted means i am using the lm function as an adjusted t-test: like lmtest <- ( Y ~ group ) anova(lmtest)

Dear all, I use Sweave to create my reports. Unfortunately my script crashes whenever I my R code contains special characters like umlauts. Is there a way to to escape special characters in Sweave... This is the line that crashes Sweave: gl_bybranch = ddply(new_wans,.(period,Branchen), function(X) data.frame(Gesch?ftslage=mean(X$sentiment))) Unfortunately I can't just rename it, because I

Dear all, i wonder if there?s a command to obtain the actual values of a principal component or a factor (not as.factor, but factanal) . test=princomp(USArrests, cor = TRUE) summary(test) just outputs, standard deviation, Prop of Variance and cumulative proportion of variance. test$loadings offers yet another proportion of variance scheme. why is that? Apart from that: Is there a

Dear all, i have a programming problem that should be simple, though i am stuck with it. Please note that this is not a specific geonames problem, though i use it as an example - it´s just a basic problem with lapply. I use the geonames webservices with the R geonames packages which works almost smoothly. I have a vector of Zipcodes and i want to do a geonames lookup for all of them, which
