similar to: data frame subsets?

Hello all, I am fairly new to R and I have created a function that I use quit frequently. I was wondering if there is away to save this function in an existing library so I can call it by using the function name once the library is loaded?

Hello, I am trying to create subsets of grouped data (by area size), and use the area size as part of the output name. The code below works for area (xout) 1 and 50, the other files are given NA for an area. A simple example: xout <- c(1,5,10,25,50,100) for(i in xout) { print(paste("Areal_Ppt_",xout[i],"sqmi.txt", sep="")) } [1] "Areal_Ppt_1sqmi.txt"

Hello, I am creating a plot/image using different data and a couple fit lines (see attached image). In the legend, I want the Default and Exponential symbol to be a line. I am using the pch command, I tried to use "-" to represent a line but does not work so I currently have set as a "1". Any thoughts or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Below are the commands

Hello, I am trying to match lat/lon from one dataset with the lat/lon from a second dataset and use that rows data for calculations. I am using match, but this is finding the first match and not comparing the pair, how can I determine if the lat/lon are the same? See example below. Is there a better way to determine to a matching pair of lat/lon values? Example Datasets: > data2

Hello, I have a couple questions about removing rows from a data frame and creating a new data frame with the removed values. I provided an example data frame (d) below. Questions: 1) How can I search for "-999.000" and remove the entire row from data frame "d"? (all -999 values will be in sd_diff) 2) Can I create a new data frame "d.new" that only contains the

Hello, I am trying to assign a variable name (x1,x2,x3...) in a loop statement that is based on a counter (counter is based on the number of hours within the datafile). The x1,x2 data will later be called for plotting the data. Below is a clip of the for loop I am using, any suggestions? k = 1 for (i in 1:length(stats$hour)) { "x(i)" = dataset[k,(3:15)] k = k+1 } Thanks,

Hello, I am creating plots of hourly precipitation and accumulated precipitation (on different axis, see attached image). I was wondering how can I have the plot frame (black border) start at zero, it looks like it is plotted less than zero? The code I use to create the png files is below: CairoPNG(PNG_file,width=1000, height=600, pointsize=14, bg="white") opar <-

Hello, I am generating .png images using the Cairo package in a for loop (looping on the number of zones, number of zones equals the number of plots to create based on different zone data). When I run the R script the .png files are created but they are all black? If I comment out the for loop and force my zones to equal one the png file is created correctly? Is there an issue with

Hi, Am I hitting some limit in match? Consider the following example: > tst<-seq(100,125,by=.2)%in%seq(0,800,by=.1) > sum(tst) [1] 76 > seq(100,125,by=.2) [1] 100.0 100.2 100.4 100.6 100.8 101.0 101.2 101.4 101.6 101.8 102.0 102.2 [13] 102.4 102.6 102.8 103.0 103.2 103.4 103.6 103.8 104.0 104.2 104.4 104.6 [25] 104.8 105.0 105.2 105.4 105.6 105.8 106.0 106.2 106.4 106.6 106.8

Hello, I am trying to create a data frame with a unique name, based on indexing of for loop. I was wondering if there is a way to do this, I keep running into errors when I try to do this. Below is a brief example, I am trying to get two data frames (name1 and name2). Any suggestions are appreciated. Thanks, Doug # Example for (i in 1:2) { x=c(1,2,3,4) y=c(10,20,30,40)

Hello, I am trying to calculate the mean value of each row in a data frame (d), I am having troubles and getting errors using the code I have written. Below is a brief example of the code, any thought or suggestions would be great. Thank you for your time, Doug # Example Code: d <- data.frame(st1=c(1,2,3,4), st2=c(2,5,6,7), st3=c(5,5,NA,7), st4=c(6,5,7,8)) avg <-

Hello, I am using the lm to fit a linear model to data, I was wondering if there is a way to display the equation on a plot using the extracted lm coefficients? I am using the plot() function to create the plot/.png. Example: lm_mod <- lm(data1~data2) intercept = 48.54 slope = 0.4856 I want to display equation on a plot as y=0.4856x+48.54 Any thoughts or suggestions are appreciated.

Hello, I am fairly new to R programming and am stuck with the following problem. I am trying to read in multiple files (see attached file or at end of email), the files all have the same general header information and different precipitation (avgppt) and area (areasqmi) values. Some times the number of records are different in the files. I want to read in all files (.stdsummary), and create

Hello, I currently splitting a file into individual files (time series each separated into one file), the file I read in skips the first four lines and extracts the data columns I need. I was wondering if there is a way for R to automatically scan and separate the files based on the head information? The header delineates the observation with a 254 space time space day space month space

Hello R-Group, I am new working with netcdf files and the raster package in R.I am trying to read in a netcdf file using the package "ncdf".I am able to get the lat, lon and parameter I need and can plot using fill.contour.Ultimately, I am trying to create a .asc file to reafd into GIS.I am using the package "raster" to read the parameter.When I read in with

Hello, I am trying to create a new vector (w) that is based on comparing two vectors (P and Z). The compaison is simple (I created a for loop that reassigns w based on if statement), all Z values >= 24 and P values <=1, w=88 else w=77. I am not getting the correct results for w, see example code below. Any thoughts or suggestions on the correct method. Thank you, Doug P <-

Hello, I am using the lmomco package (lmom.ub and pargev) to compute the GEV parameters (location, scale, and shape), which are used to estimate return values. I was wondering how/if I can calculate upper and lower confidence (CI_u, CI_l) intervals for each return frequency using the GEV parameters to fill-in the table below? Xi (location) = 35.396 Alpha (scale) = 1.726 Kappa (shape) =

I am trying to install the Cairo package on a linux machine, the Cairo package did not install correctly (could not find cairo.h), I am new to R and linux any help on the installation would be great. Below are output from trying to install the Cairo package, thought this might help. > install.packages("Cairo") Warning in install.packages("Cairo") : argument

Dear list, I cannot figure out why, after sub-setting my data, that particular item which I don't want to plot is still in the newly created subset (please see example below). R somehow remembers what was in the original data set. A work around is exporting and importing the new subset. Then it's all fine; but I don't like this idea and was wondering what am I missing here? Thanks!
