similar to: Summarization

Is there a text mining/ NLP package in R that could do text summarization? For example, take a huge text as input and provide a summary of the text. In package tm, summarization is defined more as high frequency terms which is not what I want. I actually want a summary of what is present in the huge volume of text. Any help on a R package would be helpful. Thank you. Ravi -- View this message

i'm somehow embarrassed to even ask this, but is there any built-in method for doing this: my_list <- list() my_list[[1]] <- matrix(1:20, ncol = 5) my_list[[2]] <- matrix(20:1, ncol = 5) now, knowing that these matrices are identical in dimension, i'd like to unfold the list to a 2x4x5 (or some other permutation of the dim sizes) array. i know i can initialize the array, then

Hello, I am trying to do some fairly straightforward data summarization, i.e., the kind you would do with a pivot table in excel or by using SQL queires. I have a moderately sized data set of ~70,000 records and I am trying to compute some group averages and sum values within groups. the code example below shows how I am trying to go about doing this pti <-rnorm(70000,10) fid <-

I am running the following line to download data from the US Energy Information Administration. This function has worked successfully for me in the past but yesterday gave the error/warning messages below. If I simply type "http://ir.eia.gov/wpsr/psw09.xls" (no quotes) into a browser, the file is available to download. I am running R 2.13.0 on Windows XP. # Download File Attempt

I have a zoo object that contains 2 time series named "A-B" and "V1". When I create a third series "V2", the name of the "A-B" series is changed to "A.B". Although I could recreate the names for the 3 series I am wondering if there is a way of preventing the name change from happening ( ... maybe an equivalent of the keep.names=TRUE statement

Hello, I am interesting in using R from a web application, for basic statistics and plots. The server is Java-based (tomcat). The simplest solution is a system call that generates the text or the image, then the servlet forwards the output. This can be done from any language, but it is quite inelegant and slow for the initialization time. Is there any package or approach for accessing R from a

I am trying to rename column names in a dataframe within a function. I am seeing an error (listed below) that I don't understand. Would be grateful of an explanation of what I am doing wrong and how I should rewrite the function to allow me to be able to rename my variables. Thanks. # Test Function myfunc <-function(var){ d = c(1,2,3,4,5) dts =

In Mathematica there is a neat feature, where you can change the head of a list from "list" to say "+" and obtain a sum of the list elements. I can't find a way to sum a list of vectors of same length or list of matrices of the same dimension and was curious if something like that exists in R. do.call("+",list) doesn't work because "+" accepts only

I want to interlace two vectors. This I can do: > x <- 1:4 > z <- x+0.5 > as.vector(t(cbind(x,z))) [1] 1.0 1.5 2.0 2.5 3.0 3.5 4.0 4.5 but this seems rather inelegant. Any suggestions?

Am I correct in believing that one cannot match on multiple columns? One can indeed subset on multiple criteria from different variables (or columns) but not from unique combinations thereof. I need to exclude about 10000 rows from 108000 rows of data based on several unique combinations of identifiers in two columns. Only merge() seems to be able to do that. Merge would allow me to positively

Hi All Apologies if this is not the correct list for this question. The Rglpk package offers the following example in its documentation library(Rglpk) ## Simple mixed integer linear program. ## maximize: 3 x_1 + 1 x_2 + 3 x_3 ## subject to: -1 x_1 + 2 x_2 + x_3 <= 4 ## 4 x_2 - 3 x_3 <= 2 ## x_1 - 3 x_2 + 2 x_3 <= 3 ## x_1, x_3 are non-negative integers ## x_2 is a non-negative real

Dear Help, Suppose I have a character vector. x <- c("Bob", "loves", "Sally") I want to combine it into a single string: "Bob loves Sally" . paste(x) yields: paste(x) [1] "Bob" "loves" "Sally" The following function combines the character vector into a string in the way that I want, but it seems somewhat inelegant.

I'm a great fan of read.table(), but this time the data had a lot of cruft. So I used readLines() and editted the char vector to eventually get something like this: " 23.4 1.5 4.2" " 19.1 2.2 4.1" and so on. To get that into a 3 col numeric table, I first just used: writeLines(data,"tempfile")

I would like to do something like the following: Fancyhist<-function(x,...) { # first, process x into xprocess somehow, then ... if (is.null(breaks)) { # yes, I know this is wrong # define the histogram breaks somehow, then call hist: hist(xprocess,breaks=breaks,...) } else { # use breaks give in calling argument hist(xprocess,...) } } But, those of you who know R better

Hi All I am trying to use the round function on some columns of a dataframe while leaving others unchanged. I wish to specify those columns to leave unchanged. My attempt is below - here, I would like the column d3 to be left but columns d1, d2 and d4 to be rounded to 0 decimal places. I would welcome any suggestions for a nicer way of doing this. d1= rnorm(10,10) d2= rnorm(10,6) d3=

AARRGGHH! Sometimes it's the simple things that are particularly frustrating, especially late at night.... Can anyone suggest a simple means for replacing all of the zero values in a matrix with NANs? I ended up writing an awk script to massage the input file, which works, of course, but is rather an inelegant blunt instrument. I'd prefer an R operation. I'm certain that

Hello, If I make a plot, say something simple like plot( runif(100) ) then the origin (0,0) is not at the bottom-left corner of the box surrounding the plot. The axis limits are "padded" slightly. This is ordinarily a good feature, because it makes plots look better. But now I would like to make a plot with the origin exactly on the bottom left. Through trial and error, I have

I would like to create a method for the generic function "with" applied to a class of fitted models. The method should do two things: 1. Substitute the name of the first argument for '.' throughout the expression 2. Evaluate the modified expression using the data argument to the fitted model as the first element of the search list. The second part is relatively easy. The
