Dear R-List, My questions concerns missing values. Specifically, is is possible to use different "types" of missingness in a dataset and not a one-size-fits-all NA? For example, data may be missing because of an outright refusal by a respondent to answer a question, or because she didn't know an answer, or because the item simply did not apply. In later analysis it is sometimes

Dear R users, I'd like to make this data rem.y = c(-1,0,2,4,5) from y = c(-1,-1,0,2,2,2,2,4,4,5,5,5,5,5). That is, I need to remove repeated values. Here is my code, but I don't think it is efficient. How could I improve this? #------------------------------------------------------------------------ y = c(-1,-1,0,2,2,2,2,4,4,5,5,5,5,5) n=length(y) for (i in 1:n) #

Dear R users... I'd like to change this character vector, "zz", zz <- c("12","56","89") to the following numeric matrix. [,1] [,2] [1,] 1 2 [2,] 5 6 [3,] 8 9 Actually, "zz" vector has a long length. Any comments will be greatly appreciated. Kathryn Lord -- View this message in context:

Dear R users I'd like to generate two sets of random numbers with a fixed correlation coefficient, say .4, using R. Any suggestion will be greatly appreciated.

Dear R users, I'd like to compute X like below. X_{i,t} = 0.1*t + 2*X_{i,t-1} + W_{i,t} where W_{i,t} are from Uniform(0,2) and X_{i,0} = 1+5*W_{i,0} Of course, I can do this with "for" statement, but I don't think it's good idea because "i" and "t" are too big. So, my question is that Is there any better idea to avoid "for" statement

Dear R users, I'd like to count the number of integers in a vector y. Here is an example. y <- c(0,1,1,3,3,3,5,5,6) In fact, I know how to count the number of specific number in y. sum(y==0) -> 1 sum(y==1) -> 2 sum(y==2) -> 0 sum(y==3) -> 3 sum(y==4) -> 0 sum(y==5) -> 2 sum(y==6) -> 1 However, in one computation I want to get this vector [1,2,0,3,0,2,1]. Thank

Dear R users... I made this by help of one of R users. _________________________________________________________________ X=matrix(seq(1,4), 2 , 2) B=matrix(c(0.6,1.0,2.5,1.5) , 2 , 2) func <- function(i,y0,j) { y0*exp(X[i,]%*%B[,j]) } list1 <- expand.grid( i=c(1,2) , y0=c(1,2) , j=c(1,2) ) results <- do.call( func , list1 )

Dear R-Listers, My question concerns indexing vectors by logical vectors that are based on the original vector. Consider the following simple example to hopefully make clear what I mean: a <- rnorm(10) a[a<0] <- NA However, I am now working with multiple data frames that I received, where each of them has nicely descriptive, yet long names(). In my scripts there are many instances

Dear R users When I use OPTIM with BFGS, I've got a significant result without an error message. However, when I use OPTIMX with BFGS( or spg), I've got the following an error message. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > optimx(par=theta0, fn=obj.fy, gr=gr.fy, method="BFGS", >

Dear R users, I am trying to figure out the control parameter in "optim," especially, "fnscale" and "parscale." In the R docu., ------------------------------------------------------ fnscale An overall scaling to be applied to the value of fn and gr during optimization. If negative, turns the problem into a maximization problem. Optimization is performed on

Dear R users, I have 32 observations in data x. After sorting this, I want to compute means and variances of 3 groups divided by "nr". Actually, the number of groups is flexible. Any suggestion will be greatly appreciated. Kathryn Lord --------------------------------------------------------------------------- x=rnorm(32) y=sort(x) nr=matrix(c(12,11,10,10,10,11),2,3) > nr

Dear R users... I need to split this matrix(or dataframe), for example, z <- matrix(c(13,1,1,1,1,12,0,0,0,0,8,1,0,1,1,8,0,1,0,0, 10,1,1,1,1,3,0,1,0,0,3,1,0,1,1,6,1,1,1,1),8,5,byrow = T) > z [,1] [,2] [,3] [,4] [,5] [1,] 13 1 1 1 1 [2,] 12 0 0 0 0 [3,] 8 1 0 1 1 [4,] 9 0 1 0 0 [5,] 10 1 1 1 1

Dear R users I am trying to use OPTIMX(OPTIM) for nonlinear optimization. There is no error in my code but the results are so weird (see below). When I ran via OPTIM, the results are that Initial values are that theta0 = 0.6 1.6 0.6 1.6 0.7. (In fact true vales are 0.5,1.0,0.8,1.2, 0.6.) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- >

Dear list, I have two vectors: x <- c("one","two") y <- paste(rep(x,2),"blah") I want to replace all occurrences of each element of x in y with something else, so that y looks like this: y [1] "something else blah" "something else blah" "something else blah" [4] "something else blah" I can do this using a loop: for (

Hi, R users, Here is an example. k <- c(1,2,3,4,5) i <- c(0,1,3,2,1) if k=1, then j=0 from i if k=2, then j=0, 1 from i if k=3, then j=0, 1, 2, 3 from i if k=4, then j=0, 1, 2 from i if k=5, then j=0, 1 from i so i'd like to create a list like below. > list k j 1 1 0 2 2 0 3 2 1 4 3 0 5 3 1 6 3 2 7 3 3 8 4 0 9 4 1 10 4 2 11 5 0 12 5 1 I tried expand.grid, but I

Dear all, Even though one of R users answered my question, I cannot understand, so I re-ask this question. I am trying to use "do.call", but I don't think I totally understand this function. Here is an simple example. -------------------------------------------- > B <- matrix(c(.5,.1,.2,.3),2,2) > B [,1] [,2] [1,] 0.5 0.2 [2,] 0.1 0.3 > x <- c(.1,.2) >

Dear R users, is there way to ignore an error and go back to 1st line? I mean, #------------------------------- while (or repeat) ------------ { 1 2 . . . 6 } #----------------------------- For example, if I have an error in the 6th line, then I'd like to go back to the 1st line. I've already tried "try", but it didn't work. Any suggestion will be greatly
