similar to: Question about as.numeric with tclvalue

Hi again R People: This works fine: > library(tcltk) > a <- tclVar("4.5") > as.numeric(tclvalue(a)) [1] 4.5 > #But if you have: > b <- tclVar("pi") > as.numeric(tclvalue(b)) [1] NA Warning message: NAs introduced by coercion > Is anyone aware of a way around this, please? thanks, Erin -- Erin Hodgess Associate Professor Department of Computer

Dear R People: Suppose I have the following: "pi/2" and I would like it to be 1.57..... Using as.numeric, here is my result: > as.numeric("pi/2") [1] NA Warning message: NAs introduced by coercion > Is there a way to produce the numeric result, please?

Dear R People: I have a data frame, xm1, which has 12 rows and 4 columns. If I put is xm1[,-4], I get all rows, and columns 1 - 3, which is as it should be. Now, is there a way to use the names of the columns to omit them, please? Thanks so much in advance!

Hello I would like to build R from source and use the PGI compiler, rather than the GCC compiler. I saw the instructions for the Intel compiler in the R Installation Manual, but I didn't see the PGI. I tried a few times without instructions, but without success. Any suggestions would be most welcome. Also, I hope this is the right group for the question. Sincerely, Erin -- Erin

Dear R People: I have generated the following table: > table(zza$DEATH,zza$GENDER) F M 2009-04-21 0 1 2009-04-22 4 2 2009-04-24 6 0 2009-04-25 1 3 2009-04-26 2 0 2009-04-28 3 0 2009-04-29 2 2 However, instead of total counts in the F and M columns, I would like percents. How would I do this, please? thanks, Erin -- Erin

Dear R People: When I want to produce a small sample confidence interval using t.test, I get the following: > t.test(buzz$var1, conf.level=.98)$conf.int [1] 2.239337 4.260663 attr(,"conf.level") [1] 0.98 How do I keep the attr statement from printing, please?

Hello everyone! I have an opinion question please. If I?m writing a new package, would you recommend using S3 or S4 structure, please? I know I will get lots of opinions, but that?s fine. Thanks, Erin Erin Hodgess, PhD mailto: erinm.hodgess at gmail.com [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Dear R Gurus: What is the name of the person who has all of the Tcl/tk stuff, please? I know it's James W, but can't remember his last name. I wanted to look at some of his examples.

Dear R People: Here is something that I am sure is very simple. I'm just trying to re-create the C convolution example in the Extensions manual. Here is the subroutine: void convolve(double *a, int *na, double *b, int *nb, double *ab) { R_len_t i, j, nab = *na + *nb - 1; for(i = 0; i < nab; i++) ab[i] = 0.0; for(i = 0; i < *na; i++) for(j = 0; j < *nb; j++) ab[i + j] += a[i] *

Dear R People: Is it possible to run R on an iPad, please? For some reason, I'm thinking that you can't have Fortran, C, etc., so you can't do it. But I thought I would check anyway.

I believe that repo just follows the directions on my blog. Without seeing Dr. Hodges?s code, my initial concern is the many references to Cygwin. My method specifically does not use Cygwin but MSYS2 and Mingw64/Rtools35. That will likely change to solely Rtools40 once R3.6 is released due to the Msys system being built in to it. There may be some library conflicts between Cygwin and

Dear R people: Is there a way to perform simple polynomial multiplication; that is, something like (x - 3) * (x + 3) = x^2 - 9, please? I looked in poly and polyroot and expression. There used to be a package that had this, maybe? thanks, Erin -- Erin Hodgess Associate Professor Department of Computer and Mathematical Sciences University of Houston - Downtown mailto: erinm.hodgess at
