Hi All, I'm trying to split my dataset, into multiple datasets that i'll analyse later, i wanted to do this dynamically as i might need to rerun the code later. I was looking at doing this via a loop, (Are other methods more appropriate? Would a function be better?) However i'm not sure in R how do do string replacement within the loop in order to create unique dataset names based on

Hi All, I've been trying to compare if the previous value in a variable is equal to a binary value..(i.e i want to check if the last event was a yes or no) i've been trying to write some code for this, but it seems overly elaborate, can anyone suggest a better / shorter / neater way? The below doesn't quite work but shows my idea of splitting by the factor id, then creating a new

Hi All, I have a problem trying to forecast using the dlm package, can anyone offer any advise? I setup my problem as follows, (following the manual as much as possible) data for example to run code CostUSD <- c(27.24031,32.97051, 38.72474, 22.78394, 28.58938, 49.85973, 42.93949, 35.92468) library(dlm) buildFun <- function(x) { dlmModPoly(1, dV = exp(x[1]), dW = exp(x[2])) } fit <-

Hi All, Newbie question that i'm sure is easy, but i can't seem to apply properly I read in a datafram from a CSV file and i want to tell R that from coloum "n_0" to "n_32" the value "-1" is missing data i was looking at the is.na(xx) <- c(..,...,) idea but i can't seem to apply it properly, can anyone offer advice?

Hi All, I'm trying to write a function to automatically split long strings so they will appear nicely in a chart i'm trying to create, Say i have a string title <- "some variety of words that are descriptive" In this instance i want to place carriage return where there is a space just prior to a specified number of characters (in this case 15) title.length <-

Below is some sample data, i am trying to dedup the data based on each user, and simultaneously the timestamp (at the side i have highlighted expected row to be removed) I've looked at the lag function but can't seem to make it work? My logic ran along the lines of an ifelse statement and then

Hi All, I have a questions about associative list mappings in R, and if they are possible? I have data in the form show below, and want to make a new 'bucket' variable called combined.

Hi All, I've been having a little trouble with creating a loop that will run a a series of t.tests for inspection, Below is the code i've tried, and some checks i've looked at. I've used the get(paste()) idea as i was told previously that the use of the eval should try and be avoided. I've run a single syntax to check that my systax is correct and works without any problems

I want to take the first row of each unique ID value from a data frame. For instance > ddTable <- data.frame(Id=c(1,1,2,2),name=c("Paul","Joe","Bob","Larry")) I want a dataset that is Id Name 1 Paul 2 Bob > unique(ddTable) Will give me all 4 rows, and > unique(ddTable$Id) Will give me c(1,2), but not accompanied by the name column.
