Adding new columns to (output) data - e.g., read 5 cols write 8
Hello, I have the following task I'd like to accomplish:
A file contains 5 columns of data (several hundred rows), let's call
them a, b, c, d and e (ie these are their column headers)
I also have a set of definitions, e.g.,
f = a + b
g = a * 3
h = c + d
etc.
I would like to write out a new .rda file that contains columns
a b c d e f g h etc.
I.e. , the original data plus new columns

which.max2()
Hello,
which.max() only returns one index value, the one for the
maximum value. If I want the two index values for the two
largest values, is this a decent solution, or is there a
nicer/better R'ish way?
max2 <-function(v)
{
m=which.max(v)
v[m] = -v[m]
m2=which.max(v)
result=c(m, m2)
result
}
Seems to work ok.
Thanks,

building a formula string bit by bit ..
Hello,
Still a newbie with R, though I have learned a lot from reading
this list. I'm hoping someone can help with this question:
I have two vectors, one for variables, and one for bits.
I want to build a string (really a formula) based on the values in my
vector of 1s and 0s in bits. If I have a one, I want to include the
corresponding entry in the vars vector, otherwise ignore it. Of

Automatically generating new column names (and columns)
Once again I need to tap into the collective knowledge here.
Let's say I have the following columns and data below
Y X1 X2 X3 X4
I would like to generate additional new columns and column names
(ie the data would be squared - and I'd like the column names to
reflect this) like:
Y X1 X2 X3 X4 X1^2 X2^2 X3^2 X4^2
I believe I can compute the values correctly with the code below, but

how to randomly eliminate half the entries in a vector?
(sorry if this is a duplicate-problems with posting at my end)

Hello all,
I need some help with a nice R-idiomatic and efficient solution to a
small problem.
Essentially, I am trying to eliminate randomly half of the entries in
a vector that contains index values into some other vectors.
More details:
I am working with two strings/vectors of 0s and 1s. These will contain

hash or other quick lookup function?
Hello all,
I have a matrix of bit values.
I compute certain values based on the bits in each row. There may be
*duplicate* entries in the matrix, ie several rows may be identical.
These rows change over time, and identical entries may not be next to
each other.
Computing these values is time consuming, so I would like a way to store a
value once it's computed. That way I would be able to

using optimize() correctly ...
Hi,
I am trying to use the optimize function to optimize a function. The
results I am getting don't agree with what I compute on my own and
when I look at the graph of
f(x) = 100 + ((x-10)**2 + (x-10)) * cos(x-10), where -10 <= x <= 10
in gnuplot.
I suspect I am making a mistake in the usage of the R optimize
function, perhaps someone could point out where?

Java->R functions (or possibly C++ -> R)
Hello all,
I am trying to implement a simple Genetic Algorithm using some of the
functions of R (such as lm). I am a total newbie with regard to R, but
not programming or GAs.
I thought I would have to do this in R but now it seems there are ways
to call R functions from Java after all. (C++ would work for me too,
having a compiled language should speed up the program.)

Random number generation
Colleagues,
I have encountered behavior of random number generation that eludes me.
I generate a random integer in a particular range using the following
code:
sample(1000:9999, size=1)
This code exists within a script that starts with the command:
remove(list=ls())
Each time that I run the script, it yields the same random number:
6420.

Maybe not that surprising since Python is also one of the main languages

Comparing matrices
Hello all,
I have two matrices, pop and pop2, each the same number of rows and
columns that I want to compare for equality. I am concerned about
efficiency in this operation.
I've tried a few things without success so far. Doing something simple like:
if (pop==pop2) { cat('equal') } else { cat('NOT equal') }
results in the warning:

flip certain bits in vector
I have a string of binary values, and I would like to flip certain
bits in a set of positions.
Let's say the
vector p contains position [1, 3, 5, 7]
vector b contains bits [1, 0, 1, 0, 1, 0, 1, 0, 1, 0]
result r should be [0, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1, 0]
in pseudo code this would be something like
---
r = c()
for (i in 1:10)
if (i in p)
r = c(r, flip[i])

3 questions regarding matrix copy/shuffle/compares
Hello all,
I have the following function call to create a matrix of POP_SIZE rows
and fill it with bit strings of size LEN:
pop=create_pop_2(POP_SIZE, LEN)
I have 3 questions:
(1) If I did
keep_pop[1:POP_SIZE] == pop[1:POP_SIZE]
to keep a copy of the original data structure before manipulating
'pop' potentially, would this make a deep copy or just shallow? Ie

argh .. if/else .. why?
Hello, would someone please help explain the following inconsistency
in the if/else statement to me?
The format of the if/else #3 below is ok, but if/else #1 is not? (I get
an "unexpected else" type error.) In order for it to work I have to use
if/else #2
Thanks .. maybe there is some reason for this, but this looks very

optimizing function over x,y
Hello all,
I would like to maximize or minimize a given math function over a
specific set of values.
I was checking out Wolfram Alpha (http://www70.wolframalpha.com/)
and it can do simple optimization problems in math, such as
maximize 15*x - x**2 over 0 to 15
(http://www70.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=maximize+15*x+-+x**2+over+0+to+15)

I need to format to character a series of integers from 1 to 1000, and I
like them to look like
"0001" "0002", "0059", "0123" and so on. Padded with zeroes to have four
digits.
