Summary grouped by factor
### example:start v <- sample(rnorm(200), 100, replace=T) k <- rep.int(c("locA", "locB", "locC", "locD"), 25) tapply(v, k, summary) ### example:end ... (hopefully) produces 4 summaries of v according to k group membership. How can I transform the output into a nice table with the croups as columns and the interesting statistics as lines? Thx,

Adding NAs to data.frame
Hello, after the creation of a data.frame I like to add NAs as follows: n <- 743; x <- runif(n, 1, 7); Y <- runif(n, 1, 7); Ag6 <- runif(n, 1, 7); df <- data.frame(x, Y, Ag6); # a list with positions: v <- apply(df, 2, function(x) sample(n, sample(1:ceiling(5*n/100), 1), repl=F)); # a loop too much? for (i in 1:length(df)){ df[unlist(v[i]), i] <- NA; } summary(df); This

chisq.test: decreasing p-value
A Likert scale may have produced counts of answers per category. According to theory I may expect equality over the categories. A statistical test shall reveal the actual equality in my sample. When applying a chi square test with increasing number of repetitions (simulate.p.value) over a fixed sample, the p-value decreases dramatically (looks as if converge to zero). (1) Why? (2) (If

Recode factor into binary factor-level vars
How to I "recode" a factor into a binary data frame according to the factor levels: ### example:start set.seed(20) l <- sample(rep.int(c("locA", "locB", "locC", "locD"), 100), 10, replace=T) # [1] "locD" "locD" "locD" "locD" "locB" "locA" "locA" "locA"

slicing list with matrices
A list contains several matrices. Over all matrices (list elements) I'd like to access one matrix cell: m <- matrix(1:9, nrow=3, dimnames=list(LETTERS[1:3], letters[1:3])) l <- list(m1=m, m2=m*2, m3=m*3) l[[3]] # works l[[3]][1:2, ] # works l[[1:3]][1, 1] # does not work How can I slice all C-c combinations in the list?

Linear separation
In https://stat.ethz.ch/pipermail/r-help/2008-March/156868.html I found what linear separability means. But what can I do if I find such a situation in my data? Field (2005) suggest to reduce the number of predictors or increase the number of cases. But I am not sure whether I can, as an alternative, take the findings from my analysis and report them. And if so, how can I find the linear

pca vs. pfa: dimension reduction
Can't make sense of calculated results and hope I'll find help here. I've collected answers from about 600 persons concerning three variables. I hypothesise those three variables to be components (or indicators) of one latent factor. In order to reduce data (vars), I had the following idea: Calculate the factor underlying these three vars. Use the loadings and the original var

linear models with factors
i am trying to fit a linear model with both continuous covariates and factors. When fitted with the intercept term the first level of the factor is treated by R as intercept and the estimate of the effects of remaining levels(say i th level) are given as true estimate of i th level - estimate of 1st level.can any please help me? thanks in advance..... -- View this message in context:

Any existing functions for reading and extracting data from path names?
Hi helpeRs, I have inherited a set of data files that use the file system as a sort of poor man's database, i.e., the data files are nested in directories that indicate which city they come from.
