similar to: missing TRUE/FALSE error in conditional construct

Hi everyone, I have a matrix that has a combination of zeros and NAs. When I perform certain calculations on the matrix, the zeros generate "Inf" values. Is there a way to either convert the zeros in the matrix to NAs, or only perform the calculations if not zero (i.e. like using something similar to an !all(is.na() construct)?

Hi everyone, I want to perform an operation on a matrx that outputs the product of successive pairs of rows. For example: calculating the product between rows 1 & 2; 3 & 4; 5 & 6...etc. Does anyone know of any readily available functions that can do this?

Hi everyone, I have a rollapply statement that applies a function, in steps, over a data matrix as follows: #Code start testm<-rollapply(mat, 100, by=100, min, na.rm=F) #Code end This moves down matrix 'mat' and calculates the minimum value over a 100 row range, every 100 rows (i.e. no overlaps). NAs are not removed. I want to modify this statement somehow so that the rollapply()

Hi everyone, I'm trying to create an "if" conditional statement with two conditions, whereby the statement is true when condition 1 AND condition 2 are met: code structure: if ?AND? (a[x,y] <condition1>, a[x,y] <condition2>) I've trawled through the help files, but I cannot find an example of the syntax for incorporating an AND in a conditional IF statement.

Hi everyone, I want to extract data from a data set according to dates specified in a vector. I have created a blank matrix with row names (dates) that I want to extract from the full data set. I have then performed a merge to try to o/p rows corresponding to common dates to a results matrix, but the operation did not fill the results matrix. Coulc anyone offer any advice to assist with this

Hi everyone, I am trying to apply linear regression to adjacent columns in a matrix (i.e. col1~col2; col3~col4; etc.). The columns in my matrix come with identifiers at the top of each column, but when I try to use these identifiers to reference the columns in the regression function using rollapply(), the columns are not recognised and the regression breaks down. Is there a more robust way to

Hi everyone, I'm trying to use the acf() function to calculate the autocorrelation of each column in a matrix. The trouble is that I can only seem to get the function to work if I extract the data in the column into a separate matrix and then apply the acf() function to this column. I have something like this: acf(mat,lag.max=10,na.action=na.pass) ...but I would really like to apply the

Hi everyone, I have some data in a matrix, and I want to shift it down by one row. The matrix in question has a date column. Does anyone know of a way to shift the data by one row, whilst preserving the date column in the matrix - i.e. shift the data and leave the date column in the current location?

Hi everyone, I'm trying to calculate correlation coefficients between corresponding columns in two matrices with identical dimensions but different data. The problem is that the matrices contain NAs in different locations. I am using the following code to try to calculate correlations between complete sets of data: #Code start maxcol<-ncol(mat1) for (i in 1:maxcol) {

Hi everyone, Is there a way to vary the increment size in a for loop? For e.g. when incrementing in steps greater than unity.

Hi everyone, I'm having trouble applying the Cor() function to two matrices, both of which contain NAs. I am doing the following: a<-cor(m1, m2, use="complete.obs") ... and I get the following error message: Error in cor(m1, m2, use = "complete.obs") : no complete element pairs Does anyone know how I can apply a correlation, ignoring any NAs? Thanks, rcoder --

Hi everyone, I'm experiencing difficulty getting the results I want when I use a nested for loop. I have a data set to which I perform some calculations, and then try to apply a regression over a rolling window. The code runs, but the regression results I am getting (intercept and slope) are simply the same, repeated again and again in the results matrix. The regression does not seem to be

Hi everyone, I'm running some code containing an outer and inner loop, to fill cells in a 2500x1500 results matrix. I left my program running overnight, and it was still running when I checked 17 hours later. I have tested the operation on a smaller matrix and it executes fine, so I believe there is nothing wrong with the code. I was just wondering if this is normal program execution speed

Hi, I''ve been playing around with using DBI instead of ActiveRecord ''cause I just love to beat myself up! ;) Is this an okay way to do this, or is there any other more creative ways? require ''dbi'' module MyApp:Models class DB def self.dbh DBI.connect(''DBI:Mysql:dbname'', ''username'',

Hi everyone, I've created a dll for a fortran subroutine, and when I call the subroutine in R (via a wrapped function) a standard program shutdown windows error prompt immediately pops up: the program has encountered a problem and needs to be shut down... send message / don't send message to MS... etc. When I click "Don't send", the R consol does not then shut down, and

Hi, everyone, I need to use a C library. But since I have little experience in C, I want to call this C library in R and program the rest in R. Does anyone know how to do this? Thanks, Cindy [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Campers -- In a few weeks there will be a bunch of people in Portland, OR, for a conference. A long time ago some campers mentioned that might be a good time for us to get together and hold a mini CampingConf for a few hours. Is anyone interested? Does anyone want to organize it? I''m thinking Wednesday night, May 16. We could possibly get a spot at FreeGeek (not likely since they are

Hi, I have a set of covariance matrices but not the original data. I want to carry out some exploratory factor analysis. So, I am trying to construct a covariance matrix list as the input for factanal. I can construct a list which includes the cov, the centers, and the n.obs. But it doesn't work. I get an error that says "Error in sqrt(diag(cv)) : Non-numeric argument to mathematical

Hi all, I'm very new to R and I'm trying to construct a threaded binary tree using recursive functions. I'm very confused was wondering if anyone had any R sample code they would share. I've come across a lot of C++ code(nothing in R) and this is not helping. best, MK -- View this message in context:
