Hello, I would like to know if this behaviour in R is as expected. I have a data frame 'dat' with column var1 being character (and not factor). Then I create a new column 'var2' by: > dat[,"var2"] <- dat$var1; Column var2 is now a factor. But if I do: > dat$var2 <- dat$var1; Then column var2 is character (and not factor). I don't want to have

Hello everyone, I want to define a function that receives the name of two variables (may include Greek letters and subscripts) and uses them into the title of a plot. My best attempt is the following: myplot <- function(var1, var2) { v=paste(var1,"==1 & ",var2,"==2"); plot(1:10, main=parse(,,v)) } But when I call it with something like myplot("Q[i]",

Hi, I am using R 1.9.1 on on i686 PC with SuSE Linux 9.0. I have a data.frame, e.g.: > myData <- data.frame( var1 = c( 1:4 ), var2 = c (5:8 ) ) If I add a new column by > myData$var3 <- myData[ , "var1" ] + myData[ , "var2" ] everything is fine, but if I omit the commas: > myData$var4 <- myData[ "var1" ] + myData[ "var2" ] the name

Hey, I have a dataset like this: ID Var1 Var2 Group A1 1 1 BB A2 1 2 AA B1 2 1 CC B2 1 3 DD C1 1 2 EE I would like to plot the points of Var1 and Var2, use "ID" as X-axis, but color the points by "Group". I can

Dear List, I have Multi-level Data i= Indivitual Level g= Group Level var1= First Variable of interest var2= Second Variable of interest and I want to count the frequency of "var1" and "var2" on the group level. I found a way, but there must be a much simpler way. data.ml <- data.frame(i=c(1:8),g=as.factor(c(1,1,1,2,2,3,3,3)),var1=c(3,3,3,4,4,4,4 ,4),

Hello, I'm trying to create a data frame where each row has a unique combination of factors. I start with a vector of species like so: > 1> test <- c("A","B","C","D") > > 1> test > > [1] "A" "B" "C" "D" > To get all species combinations I have used expand.grid like this:

Hi all, I have been trying to solve this problem and have had no luck so far. I have numeric vectors VAR1, VAR2, and VAR3 which I am trying to cbind. I also have a character vector "VAR1,VAR2,VAR3". How do I manipulate this character vector such that I can input a transformed version of the character vector into cbind and have it recognize that I'm trying to refer to my numeric

Hi: I have two variables in a data frame that are the results of a wording experiment in a survey. I'd like to create a third variable that combines the two variables. Recode doesn't seem to work, because it just recodes the first variable into the third, then recodes the second variable into the third, overwriting the first recode. I can do this with a rather elaborate indexing process,

Hi all, probably really simple to solve, but having no background in programming I haven't been able to figure this out: I have two dataframes like df1 <- data.frame(names1=c('aa','ab', 'ac', 'ad'), var1=c(1,5,7,12)) df2 <- data.frame(names2=c('aa', 'ab', 'ac', 'ad', 'ae'), var2=c(3,6,9,12,15)) Now I want merge

Buenas noches Javier y José, Estoy en contra de usar attach(), asi que propongo la siguiente alternativa con with(): # paquete require(epicalc) # los argumentos en ... pasan de epicalc:::cc # ver ?cc para mas informacion foo <- function(var1, var2, var3, ...){ or1 <- cc(var1, var2, ...) or2 <- cc(var1, var3, ...) list(or1 = or1, or2 = or2) } # datos x <-

I would like to know how to turn a variable into a string. I have tried as.symbol and as.name but it doesnt work for what I'd like to do Essentially, I'd like to feed the function below with two variables. This works fine in the bit working out number of elements in each variable. In the print(sprintf("OK with %s and %s\n", var1, var2)) line I would like var1 and var2 to be

I am new to R and new to time series modeling. I have a set of variables (var1, var2, var3, var4, var5) for which I have historical yearly data. I am trying to use this data to produce a prediction of var1, 3 years into the future. I have a few basic questions: 1) I am able to read in my data, and convert it to a time series format using 'ts.' data_ts <- ts(data, start = 1988, end =

HI R help, I was trying to get identical data frame from a list using two methods. #Suppose my list is: listdat1<-list(rnorm(10,20),rep(LETTERS[1:2],5),rep(1:5,2)) #Creating dataframe using cbind dat1<-data.frame(do.call("cbind",listdat1)) colnames(dat1)<-c("Var1","Var2","Var3") #Second dataframe conversion

Can someone please give me a clue how to 're'write this so I dont need to use loops. a<-ts(matrix(c(1,1,1,10,10,10,20,20,20),nrow=3),names=c('var1','var2','var3')) b<-ts(matrix(c(2,2,2,11,11,11,21,21,21),nrow=3),names=c('var1','var2','var3'))

Estimados Estoy entrenando hacer funciones que respondan a comandos, en esta caso en la salida gráfica se observa que dice : Exposure=var3 y outcome=var 1 quisiéramos que se reflejan los nombres de la base de datos : var1=estado, var2=cake, var3=chocolate Espero haberme explicado adecuadamente Adjunto tabla con datos #################################### #Comando que llama

Dear Colleagues, Apologies for a long email to ask what I feel may be a very simple question; I figure it's better to overspecify my situation. I was asked a question, recently, by a colleague in my department about pre-aggregating variables, i.e., computing the mean of defined subsets of a data frame. Naturally, I thought of the 'by' and 'tapply' functions, as

Suppose I have a dataframe as follows: dat <- data.frame(id = c(1,1,2,2,2), var1 = c(10,10,20,20,25), var2 = c('foo', 'foo', 'foo', 'foobar', 'foo')) Now, if I were to subset by id, such as: > subset(dat, id==1) id var1 var2 1 1 10 foo 2 1 10 foo I can see that the elements in var1 are exactly the same and the elements in var2 are exactly

Buenos días. Hoy ando un poco (o bastante) espeso y no doy con la tecla de una cosa que seguro que es muy simple.. Pongo un ejemplo. var1 <- c(rep(0,3),rep(1,2)) var2 <- c(rep(1,2),0,0,1) var3 <- c(rep(1,2),rep(0,3)) var4 <- c(rep(1,2),rep(0,3)) datos <- data.frame(fila=1:5,var1, var2, var3, var4) datos datos fila var1 var2 var3 var4 1 1 0 1 1 1 2 2 0

Hello everyone, I am looking at the joint spatial distribution of 2 kinds of organisms (estimated on a grid of points) and want to test for significant association or dissociation. My first question is: do you know a nice technique to do that, considering that I have a limited number of points (36) but that they are repeated (4 times)? I did GLMs to test for correlations between the

Carlos, en principio si sería algo así, sólo que en vez de quedarme con todas las columnas var1 a var4 tuviera sólo 3, ya que en mis datos no hay ningún caso que tenga el valor 1 en más de 3 variables.. Había llegado a una solución (mucho menos elegante que usando reshape), que implicaba un for sobre las filas. Jorge, creo que tu solución me vale. Muchas gracias a los dos.. Saludos El
