Hallo I have the following problem 1) Problem: I am unable to read data in the xls-format in the PerformAnalytics package. While it works well for several commands, e.g. t(table.Stats(msci_ret)) it does not work for other commands, e.g. x <- msci_ret[, c("CH"), drop = FALSE] table.Drawdowns(x) The error code is: Error in checkData(R) : The data cannot be converted into a

Hi, A simple question I hope. I wish to add a single vertical line to a plot with several density plots. Here is a simplified example. ############ thedata <- data.frame(x1=rnorm(100,1,1),x2=rnorm(100,3,1)) #create data thedata.m<-melt(thedata) densityplot(~value, thedata.m, groups=variable,auto.key=list(columns=2)) #this gives the two density plots ######### what I wish now is to add a

I am running R 2.7.0 on a Suse 9.1 linux cluster with a job scheduler dispatching jobs and openmpi-1.0.1. I have tried running one of the examples at http://ace.acadiau.ca/math/ACMMaC/Rmpi/examples.html in Rmpi and they seem to be working, except mpi.close.Rslaves() hangs. The slaves are closed, but the master doesn't finish its script. Below is the example script and the call to R. The job is

Hi, I'm testing the efficiency of the Rmpi package regarding parallelization using a cluster. I've found and tried the task pull programming method, but even if it is described as the best method, it seems to cause deadlock, anyone could help me in using this method? here is the code I've found and tried: # Initialize MPI library("Rmpi") # Notice we just say "give us

Hello r-experts, I sure could us a little help. I have an ever updating text file with timestamped data in it. I can reformat in anyway I want if need be but currently I have chosen to make columns of date, time and measuresed value (comma delimeted and with the dates and times in quotes to interpret them as strings). Here is a small section of my text data file:

Hello, # Full disclosure. I am not sure if my problem is a bug(s) in the code, or a fundamental misunderstanding on my part about what I am trying to do with these statistics. I am not familiar with maximum likelihood tests. # I currently have two vectors Aequipecten<-c(0, 0, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0,

The problem: I would like to translate the Octave algorithm in griddata.m to R. Within the griddata algorithm calls are made to the Delaunay function. For the R translation I have found delaunayn within the "geometry" package and also the deldir package. Both do similar things but give slightly different results depending on the input. The question is, what is making the results for the

"The question is, what is making the results for the R packages different from each other?" There are literally thousands of R packages, contributed independently by thousands of people. There should be no expectation of consistency or for that matter, "correctness", among them. Caveat emptor. Only within the base R distribution, maintained and mostly written by the R Core

I am trying to plot multiple densityplots on each panel, and using panel.groups to do some additional plotting (not included in the example) as in this example. library(lattice) thedata <- data.frame(x=rnorm(1200),class=rep(1:3,each=200,times=2), group=rep(1:2,each=100,times=6)) densityplot(~x | class,groups=group, xlab='x', panel.groups =

I have the attached class that I''m writing. The problem that I''m running into is that I can not access the options from the createArray function which get called after the ajax request gets done. I want to move the values of the xml file to an array and story it in the options variable. Can someone explain what I''m doing wrong? var LeaderInfo = Class.create();

Hi R, I want to do some rolling correlations. But before, I searched for "?rollingCorrelation" and tried the example in it. But I was not successful. What could be the problem? Here is the code I tried: > library(zoo) > library(PerformanceAnalytics) > rollingCorrelation(manager.ts@Data[,1],edhec.ts@Data,n=12) Error in inherits(object, "zoo") : object

This is probably buried somewhere in the R help archives, but I've been unable to find it, so perhaps the keywords I use here will help bring the topic to the surface more easily for future users. I want to write my own modeling function (ultimately for some multidimensional windowing - but this question is on scripting basics). For purposes of figuring out my needs, lets just consider

Hello, I have a data frame with 1425 observations, 539 of which are zeros. I am trying to fit the following ZINB: f3<-formula(Nbr_Abs~ Zone * Year + Source) ZINB2<-zeroinfl(f3, dist="negbin", link= "logit", data=TheData, offset=log(trans.area), trace=TRUE) Zone is a factor with 4 levels, Year a factor with 27 levels, and Source a factor with 3 levels. Nbr_Abs is counts

Hi there, In multiple regression one way to view R^2 is as (the square of) the correlation between original y's and the estimated y's. Suppose you fit a multilevel model with random intercept for each cluster. Would it be valid to compute an R^2 by using fixed effects plus the group intercepts to reduce the residuals? I suspect this has been done and, given its absence from the lmer

Dear all, I would like to use the residuals in a general linear mixed effect model to diagnose model fit. I know that the resid function has been implemented for linear mixed models but not yet for general linear mixed effects. Is there a way to get them out of lmer fit objects? I tried searching the r-help archive and found nothing. I tried and failed to replicate what (I guessed would be

Dear R-forum, I am looking for a good resource/help on working with POSIXct values and controlling the pretty x-axis labels and tick marks for a data VS time plots. Specifically, I wish to do programming logic which creates different vertical ablines calculations based on the range of times which i am working on. The default plot results are adequate, but I would love to make explicit calls on

Hello, On Mac OS X, certain Aqua/Quartz UI functionality requires an application to be launched from within an app bundle, or (alternatively) requires a Carbon application with a resource fork. Playing with the wxWidgets distribution, I discovered that it is quite easy and transparent to make such a Carbon app from (I guess) any command line application. When applied to the R executable called

Hi all, I'm handling massive data.frames and matrices in R (30000 x 400). In the 1st column, say, I have 0s and 1s indicating rows that matter; other columns have probability values. One simple task I would like to do would be to get the column mean values for signaled rows (the ones with 1) As a very fresh "programmer" I have build a simple function in R which should not be very

In one particular situation predict.coxph gives an error message. Namely: stratified data, predict='expected', new data, se=TRUE. I think I found the error but I'll leave that to you to decide.
