Hi. Can anyone suggest a simple way to obtain in R a list of vector coordinates of the following form? The code below is Mathematica. In[5]:= Flatten[Table[{i,j,k},{i,3},{j,4},{k,5}], 2] Out[5]= {{1,1,1},{1,1,2},{1,1,3},{1,1,4},{1,1,5},{1,2,1},{1,2,2},{1,2,3},{1 ,2,4},{1,2, 5},{1,3,1},{1,3,2},{1,3,3},{1,3,4},{1,3,5},{1,4,1},{1,4,2},{1,4,3}, {1,4,

Quick informal poll: what is everyone's favorite text editor for working with R? I'd like to hear from people who are using editors that have some level of direct R interface (e.g. Tinn-R, Komodo+SciViews). Thanks! --j -- Jonathan A.

R-helpers: Are there any ways to auto-generate R-friendly (e.g. will pass a compilation check) .Rd files given a set of .R code? How about GUIs that help properly format the .Rd files? Thanks! I want a basic set of .Rd files that I can update as I go, but as with most things my documentation typically lags behind my coding by a few days. --j -- Jonathan A. Greenberg, PhD Assistant Project

Rhelpers: I'd like to modify this RSQLite statement: rs_stations<-dbSendQuery(con_stations, "select * from stations") so that stations is actually an R variable, e.g.: stations=c("stationA","stationB") How would I modify the above statement to query from stations[[1]] (aka "stationA")? --j

I have 2GB installed on my windows XP box running R 1.9.0, and after performing a prune.tree(intree,newdata), I get an out of memory error within R, but it says the maximum allowed is 1024gb (1/2 of what I have!) Can R not use more than 1GB on an XP box? I noticed I had ~600mb left over after R conked out, so clearly I had more memory... What about virtual memory? --j -- Jonathan Greenberg

Hi, all. Given an array, I'd like to add elements whose location vectors are permutations of one another. For example, in a 3-dimensional array, I'd add the elements in positions (1,2,3), (1,3,2), (2,1,3), (2,3,1), (3,1,2) and (3,2,1); those in positions (1,2,4), (1,4,2), (2,1,4), (2,4,1), (4,1,2), and (4,2,1); and so on. Elements with repeated positions -- (1,1,2) or (1,4,4), for

R-helpers: I'm working on an r-package that I want to make as easy-to-use as possible for a novice R-user, which includes automatically installing required packages. I, myself, am a novice R-packager, so the solution I came up with was to embed: print("Loading required packages...") if (!require("reshape")) { install.packages("reshape") } if

R-helpers: If I want to pass a character name of a function TO a function, and then have that function executed, how would I do this? I want an arbitrary version of the following, where any function can be used (e.g. I don't want the if-then statement here): apply_some_function <- function(data,function_name) { if(function_name=="mean") { return(mean(data)) }

I have a binary file which is an image with multiple bands, arranged in BSQ format such that R, B and G are all N x M sized matrices (corresponding to Red, Blue and Green colors respectively). The BSQ file arranges the data as [R, B, G], so to access the B matrix, I have to read forward N x M + 1 number of samples. Is there a fast way to define a variable as the B matrix exclusively (e.g. Can I

Hi there -- I downloaded the MacOS X binaries of R and followed the instructions on installing it, and when I go to perform a tree function, I get the error "Error: couldn't find function "tree"". Do I need to somehow preload the function? If so, how do I do that? Also, update.packages() works for some packages, but not all -- it often fails in the compilation. I have

Until recently, I naively believed that a csv was the same as a tab-delimited file except commas replaced tab characters (provided of course, the characters being separated weren't either). Evidently, that is not the case. I tried reading a tab-delimited file (created in Excel [2000, W2K] and ftp'd as ASCII to linux) into R platform i686-pc-linux-gnu arch i686 os

Hi, I am reading a large space-delimited text file into R (41 columns and many rows) and need to do run each row's values through another R object and then write to another text file. So, far using readLines and writeLines seems to be the best bet. I've gotten the data exchange working except each row is read in as one 'chunk', meaning the row has all values between two quotes

Hi I am currently using 1.2.x and 1.4.x behind OpenSER. One of the things I do on INVITES is to re-authenticate the user from OpenSER. Then when the INVITE gets passed to Asterisk I capture the AUTH to a variable in the dialplan and pass to an AGI script. I am now trying to set the same thing up in 1.6 However because the argument delimter in 1.6 has changed from pipe to comma this breaks as the

Hopefully this is a pretty easy fix -- I need to have R query the path separator for some code I'm trying to write (it involves using a system() call) -- the call requires a path and a wildcard, e.g.: command="mycommand /path/to/*.files" in the case of unix or, command="mycommand.exe C:\\path\\to\\*.files" on a windows box System.which is working correctly, so the

I have a numerical vector which contains a (poorly) formatted time column, which, in theory, should be HHMM, but was distributed as an integer, so, for 12:15 am, it is saved as "15" (e.g. HHMM = 0015 with the zeroes stripped). I'm trying to use this in conjunction with strptime, but I'm thinking because each time is an integer ranging from 1 to 4 digits, I probably need to

Quick question -- if I have a vector of strings that I'd like to split into two new vectors based on a substring that is inside of each string, what is the most efficient way to do this? The substring that I want to split on is multiple characters, if that matters, and it is contained in every element of the character vector. --j -- Jonathan A. Greenberg, PhD Postdoctoral Scholar

Our lab has a lot of different unix boxes, with different hardware, and I'm assuming (perhaps wrongly) that by setting a per-user package installation directory, the packages will only work on one type of hardware. Our systems are all set up to share the same home directory (and, thus, the same .Renviron file) -- so, is there a way to set, in the .Renviron file, per-computer or

R'ers: I was hoping I could get some direction on this. I have a dataset of the form: Y1,Y2,...,YM = f(X1,X2,...,XN), where N is >>> M The response data (Y1,Y2,...,YM) is frequency data, such that the sum of all Yi = 1.0. Both Xj and Yi are continuous variables. I'm trying to figure out the best approach(es) to solving for the model f() -- any ideas? I could solve

R-helpers: What would be the absolute fastest way to make a large "empty" file (e.g. filled with all zeroes) on disk, given a byte size and a given number number of empty values. I know I can use writeBin, but the "object" in this case may be far too large to store in main memory. I'm asking because I'm going to use this file in conjunction with mmap to do parallel
