similar to: using variable from for loop in naming new variables

Is there a way to convince R to create a character vector without using the quotes? This works ex1 <- c("first","second") but when I try this it doesn't ext <- as.character(c(first,second)) it complains. I have many variables to put into character vectors so dispensing with the quotes would be useful. Thanks Jim =============================== Dr. Jim Maas

Hello, This is an R-syntax question when attempting to manipulate/access objects when passed to a function. I have a function attempting to just print values attached to an argument object. For example, printThis <- function(obj, parm2, parm3) { print(obj.stuff1) print(obj.stuff2) } where I've assigned stuff1 and stuff2 to the actual object passed as such actualObject.stuff1 <-

Dear users, My problem concerns save() within a for loop. Here is my code: for (i in 1:4) { temp <- data.frame(a=(i+1):(i+10), b=LETTERS[(i+1):(i+10)]) filename <- paste("file", i, sep="") assign(filename, temp) save(filename, file=paste(filename, ".rda", sep="")) } As you can see, save() doesn't work as I would like: (1) the object

Hello everyone, I have versions 2.7.2 and 2.10.1 installed on a machine that has no access to internet. In 2.7.2 I can use ? to get help on functions, which in 2.10.1 that does not work, all I see is "starting httpd help server...done" and then nothing. Have I downloaded 2.10.1 incorrectly (=forgot to tick some box for local help file repository) or is the internet help now the

Hey all, I am writing a function in which I will have a matrix of 4 columns and a variable amount of rows. The first to columns will always contain be of the Character type, the third and fourth columns can be a variation of data types, usually characters and integers, but sometimes lists or matrices. At one point the code makes, for each row, a copy of that row, then it makes some adjustments

Dear users, I would like all the ticks on a boxplot (x and y) to be labeled I have checked all the par() arguments but couldn't find what I'm looking for Here is an example to show it: df <- structure(list(SPECSHOR = structure(c(1L, 1L, 1L, 3L, 3L, 3L, 3L, 3L, 4L, 4L), .Label = c("cotau", "dibic", "eqgre", "gicam"), class =

Hi, I have tried looking at the archives but havent found any answer that works till now (Sorry if i have missed anything) I am a newbie to R and i am trying to carry out hierarchical clustering using hclust -> as.dendrogram and then plotting the results as a dendrogram using the plot function plot(object). My question is : In the function "plot", can one decrease the leaf label

Dear users, I have looked on different sources and found different functions to prompt the user to provide input. However, I couldn't find one that does exactly what I'm looking for. select.list() and menu() are nice because a graphic window appears to prompt the user. However, the user can only choose from a predefined list of choices. readline() and scan() are more free in the

Greetings, I am a very novice user with R, and in the course of running a linking procedure : P.old<- function (a, c, b, xi){ #a contains a parameters #c contains c parameters #b contains b parameters #xi is a one column vector containing quadrature points for xi(=theta-gamma)for one item tmp <- a*(xi-b)

Hello, How can I read a xlsx file using xlsx package? Thanks Albert [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

It looks from str(SA) that Response IPS1 is a data.frame of class "anova", which probably cannot be coerced to vector. Maybe you can use unlist() instead of as.vector() Or something like SA[["Response IPS1"]]["as.factor(WSD)",] ## to select the first row only, even maybe with unlist() Without a better REPRODUCIBLE example, I cannot tell more (maybe some others

Dear group, I am trying to write functions, but as a beginner, everything is not so obvious. Let's say I want the results in a list of elemts like this : tot1, tot2, etc Here is a function: toto <- function(x,y) { for(i in x:y){ paste(c("tot",i),collapse="")<-(i*2) } } If I type this : >toto(1,5) I get this message error: Error in paste(c("tot",

Dear R-users, I'm writing a program that constructs a dataset. I wish to save the dataset to a file. Here's a very simple example of what I'm trying to do function(x=peter){ y <- x/2 write.csv(y, file = "...\x") } The problem is that I want to name the dataset as whatever the name of the input is. In this case peter. How do I do this? Thank you in advance. Kristian

I'd like to save some calculation outputs as a pdf, to incorporate with others in a document. I've tried pdf("filename") name_of_object_to_output dev.off() but it doesn't seem to work, appears that this pdf function is for graphics? Is there a way to output numerical objects to pdf?

Dear list, I would generate a loop: a<-c(1:98) for (i in a ) { cbind(vor.tile[[i]]$x, vor.tile[[i]]$y)->p rbind(p,c(p[1,]))->p.c Polygon(p.c)->pc.p Polygons(list(pc.p),sprintf("p%s",i))->pc.ps sprintf("pc.ps%s",i)<-pc.ps } I need to obtain 98 pc.ps objects (like: pc.ps1, pc.ps2....pc.ps98) but I d'ont use sprintf for it. How can made it? many

Dear users, I would like to process all the lists from all *.rda files that I have in one folder. Up to now, I can load all the *.rda files without any problem. The problem is when I want to access the list saved within each *.rda file (only one list per rda file). Here is my code: fpath <- "D:/R" listnames <- list.files(path=fpath, pattern=glob2rx("*.rda"),

It's often difficult to figure out what a problem data set looks like when someone pastes a mess of output from R into an e-mail. The dput command, used judiciously?I would hope no one would send a 1 M data set?can make life much easier. I wonder if it would be useful to add a hint in the instructions at the bottom of the posting page, where the list asks for self-contained reproducible

Hello R users I was trying to find a less annoying way of naming vectors than: x<-1:10 names(x)[1:length(x)]<-"A" So I tried: x<-1:10 names(x)<-"A" #but this gave only the first element named (as described in the help files) and x<-1:10 names(x)[]<-"A" #but this gave all elements named NA The curious thing with this last option is
