Hello! If I have a vector vec <- c(FALSE, FALSE, TRUE, FALSE, TRUE, TRUE, FALSE FALSE) I can I create the following order of numbers based on vector vec: 1, 2, 2, 3, 3, 3, 4, 5 Whenever there is a FALSE I increase the number (starting with 1). Whenever there is a TRUE I set the same number as the previous FALSE has been assigned to. I would be happy for any input Cheers, Syrvn -- View

Hello, I am stuck with the following problem. Consider the vector: vec <- c(2,4,6,9,10) I now want to use R to manipulate the vector as follows: [1] 2, 4, 2, 6, 2, 9, 2, 10 In words, the first element of the vector should be placed in front of each following number. Which R commands do I need to achieve that? Cheers -- View this message in context:

Hi, how can I produce random data which lies around a straight line with angle 45 degree.

Dear helpRs Does anyone have an elegant way of doing the following: For a given numeric vector, e.g. vec <- c(3,2,6,4,7) Create a series of vectors where all but 1 of the values are replaced by 0's, e.g. vec.a <- c(3,0,0,0,0) vec.b <- c(0,2,0,0,0) vec.c <- c(0,0,6,0,0) vec.d <- c(0,0,0,4,0) vec.e <- c(0,0,0,0,7) I have looked at `replace', but can't think of a

Hi ! I have a vector: vec= TRUE TRUE TRUE TRUE FALSE FALSE FALSE FALSE TRUE TRUE FALSE and I'm looking for a method which let me get only the first values equal TRUE from this vector. It means that I want to get a vector: vec_out = TRUE TRUE TRUE TRUE or posictions values = TRUE: vec_out = 1,2,3,4 -- View this message in context:

Hi, let's assume I have the following vector a: 1 5 23 How can I use R to duplicate the elements so that my new vector looks like: 1 1 5 5 23 23 Many thanks, Syrvn -- View this message in context: http://r.789695.n4.nabble.com/Duplicate-elements-of-a-vector-tp3879561p3879561.html Sent from the R help mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

Dear Group, I have a following dataset: > a A B C D 1 22 3 31 40 2 26 31 36 32 3 3 7 49 16 4 24 40 27 26 5 20 45 47 0 6 34 43 11 18 7 48 48 24 2 8 3 16 39 48 9 20 49 7 21 10 17 36 47 10 > dput(a) structure(list(A = c(22L, 26L, 3L, 24L, 20L, 34L, 48L, 3L, 20L, 17L), B = c(3L, 31L, 7L, 40L, 45L, 43L, 48L, 16L, 49L, 36L), C = c(31L, 36L, 49L, 27L, 47L, 11L, 24L,

Dear R helpers Suppose x  <- c(1:3) y  <- matrix(1:12, ncol = 3, nrow = 4) > y      [,1] [,2] [,3] [1,]    1    5    9 [2,]    2    6   10 [3,]    3    7   11 [4,]    4    8   12 I wish to multiply 1st column of y by first element of x i.e. 1, 2nd column of y by 2nd element of x i.e. 2 an so on. Thus the resultant matrix should be like > z      [,1]   [,2]    [,3] [1,]    1   

Hi, I have a matrix with m rows and n column and a vector with n elements. I want to divid each rows of the matrix by vector direcly. could you please hint me? Thank you khazaei

Hi, I am looking for two ways to speed up my computations: 1. Is there a function that efficiently computes the 'sandwich product' of three matrices, say, ZPZ' 2. Is there a function that efficiently computes the determinant of a positive definite symmetric matrix? Thanks, S.A. [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

[My previous message rejected, therefore I am sending same one with some modification] I have 3 vectors with object name : dat1, dat2, dat3 Now I want to create a loop, like : for (i in 1:3) { cat(sd(dati)) } How I can do this in R? Regards,

Dear List, I am writing a function in R with the facility to store models for later use in scoring. It would be very useful if I could include in the name of the file stored the name of the model object being stored, this name being chosen by the user in the function call. A simple function to store the name of an object as a character string would fit the bill, but I have not found one. name()

Dear all, I am trying to create a vector name, for example tmax.195012 from tmax., 1950 and 12. Obviously I don't wish to simply type it because the 3 name components are changing in each iteration within a loop. Is there any way of concatenating those 3 components (which are a mixture of numbers and letters)? Thanks for reading, Panos

Dear R list, I have one very elementary question regrading correlation between two variables. x = c(44,46,46,47,45,43,45,44) y = c(44,43,41,41,46,48,44,43) > cov(x, y) [1] -2.428571 However, if I try to calculate the covariance using the formula as covariance = sum((x-mean(x))*(y-mean(y)))/8       # no of of paired obs. = 8 or     covariance = sum(x*y)/8-(mean(x)*mean(y)) gives

Hi Everybody, I have a matrix of about 45 columns. Some of the rows contain zeros. Using >data1<-data[complete.cases(data),], I can remove the "NA" rows. But I am unable to tackle that of zeros. Can anybody give me an idea of how to remove rows containing zeros in a matrix. Thanks so much Best Ogbos [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Dear friends I have an array consist of r-rows and c-columns e.g. x=c(1,1,1,1,2,2,2,2,3,3,3,3,4,4,4,4,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0); x1=array(x, dim=c(4,6)) output is > x1 [,1] [,2] [,3] [,4] [,5] [,6] [1,] 1 2 3 4 0 0 [2,] 1 2 3 4 0 0 [3,] 1 2 3 4 0 0 [4,] 1 2 3 4 0 0 How can i ignore columns having zero sums?

Hi, I have this lame question. I want to convert a list (each with varies in length) to matrix with same row length by eliminating vectors outside the needed range. For example: l<-list(NULL) l[[1]]=1,2,3.7 l[[2]]=3,4,5,6,3 l[[3]]=4,2,5,7 l[[4]]=2,4,6,3,2 l[[5]]=3,5,7,2 #so say I want to only have 4 rows and 5 column in my matrix (or data.frame) and eliminating the 5th index value in l[[2]]

hello, i am familiar with the paste command with which i can paste for exaple: object <- "Hello" paste(object,"World") now i would like to be able to paste all the elements of the same vector together e.g: object <- c("Hello","World") getting as a result also: "Hello World". Does anyone know the solution to this problem? Thank you
