Hi R-helpers, My real data is a panel (unbalanced and with gaps in years) of thousands of firms, by year and industry, and with financial information (variables X, Y, Z, for example), the number of firms by year and industry is not always equal, the number of years by industry is not always equal. #reproducible example firm1<-sort(rep(1:10,5),decreasing=F) year1<-rep(2000:2004,10)

Hi everyone, I have the following code that works in data frames taht I would like tow ork in data.tables . However, I'm not really sure how to go about it. I basically have the following names = c("data1", "data2") frame = data.frame(list(key1=as.integer(c(1,2,3,4,5,6)), key2=as.integer(c(1,2,3,2,5,6)),data1 = c(3,3,2,3,5,2), data2= c(3,3,2,3,5,2))) for(i in

Hi Rusers, I found sometimes that the same values cannot be judged to be the same in R. Anybody knows the probelm? I think i ignored some minor detail. Thanks. Here is the example. ############ data1<-matrix(data=c(1,1.2,1.3,"3/23/2004",1,1.5,2.3,"3/22/2004",2,0.2,3.3,"4/23/2004",3,1.5,1.3,"5/22/2004"),nrow=4,ncol=4,byrow=TRUE)

Hi This question is far less simple than the title suggests, please read carefully, thanks. I have 2 sets of data, both read into R >data1<-read.table ("1.txt", header=T, sep="\t") >data2<-read.table ("2.txt", header=T, sep="\t") >data1 Taxon stage1 stage2 stage3 stage4 T1 0 0 1 1 T2 0

Hi there, data1<-matrix(data=c(1,1.2,1.3,"3/23/2004",1,1.5,2.3,"3/22/2004",2,0.2,3.3,"4/23/2004",3,1.5,1.3,"5/22/2004"),nrow=4,ncol=4,byrow=TRUE) data1<-data.frame(data1) names(data1)<-c("areaid","x","y","date") data1 areaid x y date 1 1 1.2 1.3 3/23/2004 2 1 1.5 2.3 3/22/2004 3 2

I have two set of data, Data1 and Data2 . Data1 has a header and Data2 does not. I would like to merge the two data sets after removing some columns from data2 . I am having a problem merging so I had to write and read final data and specify the ?header=F? so the merge can be done by?V1?. Is there a way to avoid this step. The problem is when I do cbind the FinalData has different column names

Hello, Is there a way to extract multiple columns from a dataframe using their names instead of their numbers? Currently I use: data2 <- data1[, c(1,3,9)] And I am looking for something like data2 <- data1[, c("XX","YY","ZZ")] I use the same dataframe for many purposes, and I run codes that change the order of the columns every time. Many thanks, Adrian

Hi, I have 2 dataframes of unequal length, and I would like to match a factor to them so that both dataframes will have the same number of rows. example: # create the 2 dataframes with unequal length data1 <- data.frame(letters, 1:26)[-c(5,10,19:21),] data2 <- data.frame(letters, 1:26)[-c(6,9,15:18),] data2a <- match(data1[,1], data2[,1]) data2b <- data2[data2a,] When I match

Hello, I am having some problems to use the 'merge' function. I'm not sure if I got its working right. What I want to do is: 1) Suppose I have a dataframe like: height width 1 1.1 2.3 2 2.1 2.5 3 1.8 1.9 4 1.6 2.1 5 1.8 2.4 2) And I generate a second

Hello Forum, I have a problem with the strptime function. With the ''data1'' dataset below it works fine, but with the ''data2'' dataset something goes wrong (see final line below). Both data1 and data2 are in exactly the same original format, the only difference is that they span different dates. Please help, since it is driving me nuts! Many thanks. Best

Hi, I apologize if this has previously been posted. I've just subscribed to the R-help digest. I'm writing a plotting function that uses layout() to plot several different plots on the same device. This function uses plot(), image(), and a custom function that uses text(). Each cell of the layout needs different par() parameters, so what I'd like to do is pass them as lists:

Using R 2.6.2, say I have the following list of lists, "comb": data1 <- list(a = 1, b = 2, c = 3) data2 <- list(a = 4, b = 5, c = 6) data3 <- list(a = 3, b = 6, c = 9) comb <- list(data1 = data1, data2 = data2, data3 = data3) So that all names for the lowest level list are common. How can I most efficiently access all of the sublist items "a" indexed by the outer

Hello List, I am working on creating periodograms from IP network traffic logs using the Fast Fourier Transform. The FFT requires all the data points to be evenly-spaced in the time domain (constant delta-T), so I have a step where I zero-pad the data. Lately I've been wondering if there is a faster way to do this. Here's what I've got: * data1 is a data frame consisting of

Hello I have 2 datasets say Data1 and Data2 both are of different dimesions. Data1: 120 rows and 6 columns (Varname, Vartype, Labels, Description, ....) The column Varname has 120 rows which has variable names such id, age, gender,.....so on Data2: 12528 rows and 120 columns The column names in this case are V1, V2, ......... V120 (which are default names in R when we say head=F in read.csv)

R friends, I'm running R 2.7.2 on Windows XP SP2. I have some data that's amenable to smoothing, and some that's not. I'm trying to plot smoothed lines for the former along with just points for the latter in a single panel. The problem comes when trying to break out the points by group. My sample code follows. data1 <-

#I have a data frame with a numeric and a character variable. x=c(1,2,3,2,0,2,-1,-2,-4) md=c(rep("Miller",3), rep("Richard",3),rep("Smith",3)) data1=data.frame(x,md) #I subset this data.frame in a way such that one level of the character variable does not appear in the new dataset. data2=data1[x>0,] data3=subset(data1,x>0) #However, when I check the levels

Hello everyone, I am attempting to use the %in% operator with the ! to produce a NOT IN type of operation. Why does this not work?

I'm trying to massage some data from Matlab into R. The matlab file has a "struct array" which when imported into R using the R.matlab package, becomes an R list with 3+ dimensions, the first of which corresponds to the structure fields, with corresponding row names, and the second and third+ dimensions correspond to the dimensions of the original struct array (as matlab
