Extracting variables with a given prefix in the parent environment
hi,
get.vars.name.prefix<-function(prefix){
result<-list()
len<-nchar(prefix)
var.names<-ls(name=1,pattern=prefix) #name=1 probably wrong option
print(var.names)
for(i in 1:length(var.names)){
name<-var.names[i]
field<-substr(name,len+1,nchar(name))
result[[field]]<-get(name)
}

for example
x.1<-1
x.2<-2

Arrays of Trellis plots
hello,
the example below does not work. (i know it's not supposed, but it makes it
clear what i'm trying to achieve)
par(mfrow=c(2,1))
xyplot(y~x2|x1,data=dataframe1,pch=20)
xyplot(y~x2|x1,data=dataframe2,pch=20)
i know i could probably merge the two datasets and do something like
xyplot(y~x2|x1+dataset,data=merged)
any other suggestion?
thanks.

Trellis, conditioning on more than 2 variables,
hello,
i need help with:
data$f1<-as.factor(data$f1)
data$f2<-as.factor(data$f2)
s3<-equal.count(data$s2,number=3)
densityplot(~y| f1 + f2 + s3,
data=mydata
)
this produces 3 plots, *successively*, one for each value of s3. i was
hoping it would produce one plot. is trellis limited to 2 conditional
variables? if not, what are the appropriate commands?
thanks!

difference between 2 ecdfs
hi,
a) i have something like:
ecdfgrp1<-ecdf(subset(mydata,TMT_GRP==1)$Y);
ecdfgrp2<-ecdf(subset(mydata,TMT_GRP==2)$Y);
how can i plot the difference between these 2 step functions?
i could begin with ecdfrefl<-function(x){ecdfgrp2(x)-ecdfgrp1(x);} ...
what next?
b) if i have a vector with repeated numeric values how can i get the
subset without repeated values .e.g (0,4,0,2,2)

growing a list sequentially -- memory management
hello,
i have something like:
out<-list()
for(i in 1:n){

In principle 1 GB should allow
n = 1024^3/6824 = 157347?
i have about 2GB are not taken by other processes. however, I can see the

histogram for integer data
hi,
library(lattice)
x<-c(-1,-1,-1,0,0,0,0,1,1,2)
rng<-range(x)
histogram(x,endpoints=c(rng[1]-0.5,rng[2]+0.5),nint=length(unique(x)))
instead of contiguous bins, i'd like spaces between them to indicate
that the data is discrete, or even better, line segments positioned at
integer values.

Trying to pass arrays as arguments to a function
I'd like to avoid looping through an array in order to change values in
the array as it takes too long.
I red from an earlier post it can be done by "do.call" but never got it
to work. The Idea is to change the value of "y" according to values in
"x". Wherever "x" holds the value 3, the corresponding value in "y"
should be set to 1.

Where to store filesystem path?

My app needs to know where to store files but the path is different for

- something like $path = ''/home/myrailsapp/public/files/'' in
development.rb and $path = ''/home/my_remote_prod_sapp/public/files/'' in
production.rb?
- do a test to check the env and add the path in application.rb?

Aggregate Values for All Levels of a Factor

Hello,
I'm a novice user trying to figure out how to retain NA aggregate
values. For example, given a data frame with data for 3 of the 4
possible factor colors("orange" is omitted from the data frame), I want
to calculate the average height by color, but I'd like to retain the
knowledge that "orange" is a possible factor,

gauss.quad.prob
I've written a series of functions that evaluates an integral from -inf to a or b to +inf using equally spaced quadrature points along a normal distribution from -10 to +10 moving in increments of .01. These functions are working and give very good approximations, but I think they are computationally wasteful as I am evaluating the function at *many* points.
Instead, I would prefer to use

Confidence Intervals on Standard Curve
Hi, I wonder if anyone could advise me with this:
I've been trying to make a standard curve in R with lm() of some
standards from a spectrophotometer, so as I can express the curve as a
formula, and so obtain values from my treated samples by plugging in
readings into the formula, instead of trying to judge things by eye,
with a curve drawn by hand.
It is a curve and so I used the

The evaluation of optional function arguments
Dear R-helpers,
I've got two functions; callTimes() calls times(), passing it an
optional argument (bar) by name (bar=harry). times() then believes it
has been passed a name, rather than a value ? but I want the value,
not the name.
Worse, if I evaluate the name, it is evaluated in the environment
times() was defined, not where it is called.
How can I call times(), defining its optional

Process dataframes from list
Hi all,
I have roughly fifty dataframes and a dataframe with the names of the fifty
dataframes. I want to perform the same set of manipulations on all fifty
dataframes, but can't find a way to batch process from a list with the
dataframe names using a loop. Is there a way to read the file names from
the dataframe with the names and then call the referenced dataframe? This

[LLVMdev] Where is liveness analysis pass?
Hello all
Currently I want to use the accurate liveness information when writing a *target independent* FunctionPass based on LLVM. The one I can find is LiveValues, a FunctionPass. But it doesn't use classic dataflow equation and can only provide approximate and conservative result. The another one is LiveVariables which use classic data flow equation, but it comes from Clang's analysis

Is it possible to pass a function argument from R to compiled code in C?
I have a function in R that takes another function as argument:
f <- function(g, ...) { #g is expected to be a function
}
I want to see if there is a way to implement "f" in C and calling it from R
using ".C" interface. I know that I can use function pointers for my C
implementation, but I imagine it's going to be nearly impossible to pass a
function from R to C. Are

Passing function arguments to dataset names

Confusion about ks.test() handling of ties and exact vs approximate results
Hello,
Today I was investigating ks.test() with two numerical arguments (x and y) and was left a bit confused about the policy behind handling ties.
I might be missing something, so sorry in advance, but here is what confuses me:
The documentation states: "The presence of ties always generates a warning, since continuous distributions do not generate them"
But when I run a test with
