Hello All: I have been working with <a href="http://ruby-pdf.rubyforge.org/pdf-writer/index.html">Austin Ziegler''s PDF::Writer</a> as a means to produce PDF documents from my Rails app. I am stumped on how to iterate through a collection of items and output them in a table format. The way I have tried it so far only returns the last item in the collection -

Hello, Using the RpgSQL package, there must be a way to get the row names into the table automatically. In the example below, I'm trying to get rid of the cbind line, yet have the row names of the data frame populate a column. > bentest = matrix(1:4,2,2) > dimnames(bentest) = list(c('ra','rb'),c('ca','cb')) > bentest ca cb ra 1 3 rb 2 4 >

Hi, I am using scrubyt for scraping a webpage. The output is xml: Example: <root> <item> <item_name>Canon Vertical Battery Grip BG-E3 For EOS Digital Rebel XT</item_name> <price>$179.00</price> </item> <item> <item_name>Canon Vertical Battery Grip BG-E4 For EOS 5D</item_name>

I have been attempting to estimate the periodic contribution of an effect to some data but have not been able to fit a sine wave within R. It would be nice to start by being able to fit a sine wave with an amplitude and frequency. x<-seq(0,20,by=0.5) y<-2*sin(2*pi*.5*x) #amplitude =2, frequency=0.5 # This failed to converge r<-nls(y ~ A*sin(2*pi*F*x), start=list(A = 1, F = 1),

Greetings, I am attempting to run a function, which produces a vector and requires two input variables, across two nested factor levels. I can do this using by(X, list(factor1, factor2), function), however I haven't found a simple way to extract the list output into an organized vector form. I can do this using nested loops but it isn't exactly an optimal approach. Thank you

Hello, I have a simple question about using the aov function syntax (ie. * + or :) for the interaction of 2 factors. I have read the help files, and researched other sites, and have included my source files. My goal is to measure the signifigance of the interaction between population and condition (aka. population:condition). I can't seem to figure it out. 1. In the first example the

Hi all, I'm just a beginner with R but I have not been able to search for any relevant answer to my problem. I apologize if it has in fact been asked before. Recently I've realized that I need to combine hundreds of pairs of data frames. The filenames of the frames I need to combine have unique strings. This is my best guess as to the approach to take: filenames<-list.files()

Does anyone have any experience plotting complex polygons on a scatterplot3d display? I would like to present some spatially binned data in a 3-d type plot with background polygons (i.e.. a filled coastline map). I can get the coastline onto the plot window as a line type but cannot figure out how to fill the shape. I'm certain it may be possible but might require a bit of digging

HI All, I have a long data file generated from a minimal pair test that I gave to learners of Arabic before and after a phonetic training regime. For each of thirty some subjects there are 800 rows of data, from each of 400 items at pre and posttest. For each item the subject got correct, there is a 'C' in the column 'Correct'. The line: tapply(ALLDATA$Correct,

Hello again, I have a table called line_items, with the following fields: id int item_name varchar() qty int conditions text I''ve made my LineItem model, and everything works as such (with simple text_fields).. Now I''d like for the conditions field to be a select_tag() with multiple choice possibility. I''m guessing I need some code to expand/restract the array for

Hi I am trying to use active scaffold to build a polymorphic model . I have a number of models that can be featured and I have a Feature model that belongs_to :item, :polymorphic => true In my config.columns I include :item_type and item_id, I also added :item_name to show the name of the record in the form. In the form, when a type of model is selected I populate the select box for

Dear all, I've come across a problem using strptime, can anyone explain what's going on? I'm using version 2.7.0 on Windows XP. Thank you Caroline First read in a data file using read.table alldata = read.table(file, header=F, skip=4, colClasses = c("character","numeric")) dim(alldata) [1] 223960 2 # inefficient, safe way of sorting out missing or dodgy

Dear R help list, I am very new to R and I apologize in advance if this has been answered before. I have done my best to google/R search what I need but no luck. Here is what I am attempting: I have hundreds of .csv files that I need to sort based on a single column of alphanumeric data. All of the files contain matrices that have identical dimensions and headers, however the data table

Hello, I have a question regarding how to subset/select parts of a data frame (matrix) in order to plot data associated only with this subset. Specifically I have a large data frame in which one column contains ID values (dates), and other columns contain data I would like to plot (temperature, light, etc.). I would like to break up this large matrix so as to plot data associated

Hi everyone, my apologies in advance if I'm overlooking something simple in this question. I am trying to use R's survey package to make a direct method age-adjustment to some complex survey data. I have played with postStratify, calibrate, rake, and simply multiplying the base weights by the correct proportions - nothing seems to hit the published numbers on the nose. I am trying to

Greetings, I have been working on a script that conducts repeated statistics and plots to my data. In this case it is sub-setting the dataframe by month. The intent is to develop a custom analysis and plotting that I can run on a large number of data sets. Unfortunately, a small portion of my subsets (~1%) cause an error with one of the wrapped subroutines that results in the whole

No doubt an easy answer to this exists. I have a data frame which comprises 4 matrices and 2 vectors: year(1024,6),growth(1024,6),ycens(1024,6),gcens(1024,6),yinit(1024),ginit(1024) The names of the 26 columns get denoted as y.1 to y.6, g.1 to g.6, yc.1 to yc.6, gc.1 to gc.6, yi and gi as these are the internal names. I wish to make a subset of the data using the logical vector R1(length 1024)
