I need to apply a yearly inflation factor to some wages and supply some simple sums by work category. I have gone at it with a brute force "for" loop approach which seems okay as it is a small dataset. It looks a bit inelegant and given all the warnings in the Intro to R, etc, about using loops I wondered if anyone could suggest something a bit simpler or more efficent? Example:

Good day, For lack of a better solution (or perhaps I am ignorant to something more elegant), I have been bootstrapping panel data by hand so to speak and I would like to know if there is a way to define multiple variables in a loop using the loop variable. I found a post (here: https://stat.ethz.ch/pipermail/r-help/2002-October/026305.html ) that discussed naming multiple variables but it

Dear R Helpers I have following data - cash_flow = c(7, 7, 107)  # 107 = Principle 100 + interest of 7% t = c(1,2,3) and zero rate table as rating         year1           year2           year3 AAA            3.60            4.17              4.73 AA              3.65            4.22              4.78 A                 3.72           4.32              4.93 BBB            4.10           

Hi R-helpers, My real data is a panel (unbalanced and with gaps in years) of thousands of firms, by year and industry, and with financial information (variables X, Y, Z, for example), the number of firms by year and industry is not always equal, the number of years by industry is not always equal. #reproducible example firm1<-sort(rep(1:10,5),decreasing=F) year1<-rep(2000:2004,10)

I am having a hard time putting the below into a loop, where it pulls out ppt from all he stations I have versus having to go through and hard code the data to the specific stations. I tried stnID <- stnid[which(duplicated(stnid)==FALSE)] for(i in 1:length(stnID)) { ppt[i] <- ppt[which(stnid==[i])] } but it doesn't like to use the which function inside a for loop? Any idea's here is

I would like to know how I can assign a name to a name. I have a dataset that has different years in it. I am writing scripts using R and I would like to give a month a generic name and then use the generic name to do different analysis. The reason for the generic name would be so that I only have to change one thing if I wanted to change the year. For example. Year1 = 1999 datayear <-

I R-helpers #I have a data panel of thousands of firms, by year and industry and #one dummy variable that separates the firms in two categories: 1 if the firm have an auditor; 0 if not #and another variable the represents the firm dimension (total assets in thousand of euros) #I need to create two separated samples with the same number os firms where #one firm in the first have a corresponding

Greetings, I just found out a bug in the function lmList of the package nlme with R 2.8.1 running under windows XP 32-bits. I have a data table with various columns corresponding to continuous variables as well as treatment variables taken on several years and several sites. Here is an example : Id year treatment A treatment B variable1 variable2 variable3 1

Hi, I have two datasets stored in tab-separated format in the following way file1: country year1 year2 Germany var1 var1 Hungary var1 var1 file2: country year1 year2 Germany var2 var2 Hungary var2 var2 I can easily read in these files, but how can I merge them as a panel dataset? Thanks, Viktor

Hello, I am trying to see whether there has been a significant difference in whether people experienced damages from wildlife in two different years. I therefore have two columns: year 1: yes no no no yes yes no year 2: no yes no yes I wanted to do a chisq.test, but if I enter it this way: chisq.test(year1, year2) I get the error saying the columns are two different lengths. So then I tried

Dear R Experts, I am trying to produce a legend for a series of plots which are generated in a loop. The legend is supposed to look like this: 2000: gamma=1.8 where gamma is replaced by the greek letter and both the year and the value of gamma are stored in variables. Everything works fine as long as I have only one data series: year = 2001 g = 1.9 plot(1) legend('top',

Dear All, I am working with a generalized linear mixed-effects model with poisson error using the lme4 package in R. I created a model with the lmer function including some main effects, three two way interactions and two random effects. The model works well, but I have troubles when removing on of the two-way interactions. The Warning message: "In mer_finalize(ans) : false convergence

I have a text file that has semi-colon separated values. The table is nearly 10,000 by 585.

Hi everyone I have the following problem: My dataframe has 3 variables: ID, Year and and an outcome variable. The dataframe contains repeated measurements because the subjects filled out a questionnaire every year. The time span covers 2 years. Now I want to check if there is a significant change in the outcome over the 2 years with a paired wilcox.test. The problem: Not every subject

Dear R help, I'm working with regular 8-daily time-series from 2000 up till now and would like to be able to compare years with each other. E.g. by creating a monthplot via the result of the stl() method it looks ok> but I was wondering whether there exist other methods to plot the different years as lines on top of each other such that years can be compared with each other (temporal

I ran the following code: And I run into problems with the last line of code (when it says hn<-......). I keep getting an error code: Error in distsamp(~hab ~ 1, peldist, keyfun = "halfnorm", output = "density", : object 'A' not found I would appreciate any and all help. rm(list=ls(all=TRUE)) #clear the computer's

Dear R listers, I am trying to produce a simple (for a stata user) barplot with 4 countries on the x axis, each country observed in 2 subsequent years and 3 variables. Basically, I should have three bars for each year for each country. I am attaching the chart I made in Stata, but I am not sure you'll manage to see it! I did the following: #here I create the data-set TUSE2. The vectors mw, st

Dear R users, A co-worker and I are writing a function to facilitate graph plotting in R. The function makes use of a lot of lists in its defaults. However, we discovered that R does not necessarily preserve the defaults if we were to input them in the form of list() when initializing the function. For example, if you feed the function codes below into R: myfunction=function( list1=list

Hi all, I want to arrange two ggplot2 plots on the same page with their x-axes lined up - even though one is a boxplot and the other is a line plot. Is there a simple way to do this? I know I could do this using facetting if they were both the same type of plot (for example, if they were both boxplots), but I haven't been able to figure it out for two different types of plots. Below is my
