similar to: followup to "pass operator to function"

I was cursing Matlab again today (what else is new) because the default action for every Matlab command is to spew the result to the console, and one must remember to put that darn ";" at the end of every line. So I just wondered: was there ever a discussion as to providing some modified version of the "<-" and "->" operators in R to do the reverse?

Hi llvmdev, I've noticed that there is no unary operator in LLVM. For unary operator such as Neg or Or operator, the IR builder just creates a binary operation with one dummy operand, 01823 <http://llvm.org/doxygen/classllvm_1_1BinaryOperator.html#a073c092ce74a122e898e435e60e84599> BinaryOperator <http://llvm.org/doxygen/classllvm_1_1BinaryOperator.html>

The documentation (help("Syntax")) gives the operator precedence of the assignment operators and help, from highest to lowest, as: ?<- <<-? assignment (right to left) ?=? assignment (right to left) ??? help (unary and binary) If I understand correctly this implies that `a = b ? c` and `a <- b ? c` should parse

Hello, Is there a way to define a custom unary operator in R (other than making a class and 'overloading' the normal unary operators in R)? The documentation seems to suggest that only custom binary operators are possible with the ``%abc%``construct but I was wondering whether any one has done so. None of the RSiteSearch or RSeek queries I posed suggested that this question had

Hi guys I have been using R for a few months now and have come across an error that I have been trying to fix for a week or so now.I am trying to build a classifer that will classify the wine dataset using Naive Bayes. My code is as follows library (e1071) wine<- read.csv("C:\\Rproject\\Wine\\wine.csv") split<-sample(nrow(wine), floor(nrow(wine) * 0.5)) wine_training <-

Hi, A recent thread provided a (working) construct for lm: lm(as.matrix(freeny[ix]) ~., freeny[-ix]) Can someone explain what is meant by the formula in that expression, that is, what does "mymatrix~." do? I couldn't find any such example in the lm() or formula() help pages. thanks Carl

Hi all, Why not make the unary minus operator return the factor with levels reversed? This would make it much easier to sort factors in descending order in part of an order statement. Hadley -- http://had.co.nz/

I am making some changes to the permax library (so that it will accept NA's). This function performs a permutation analysis to identify discriminating attributes distinguishing two groups of observations. It takes the form (at its most simplistic): permax(data, ig1) where ig1 is one group of interest. The other group (if not specified) is assumed to be the remaining observations, namely,

Jim, One more note about precedence. It prevents a solution like the one you proposed from solving all of the problems you cited. By my reckoning, a "What comes next is for NSE" unary operator needs an extremely low precedence, because it needs to greedily grab "everything" (or a large amount) that comes after it. Normal-style unary operators, on the other hand, explicitly

Anyone seeing this? /etc/cron.daily/rkhunter: /usr/bin/rkhunter: regel 13967: [: eenzijdige operator werd verwacht, -ne gevonden Translating: line 13967 unary operator expected -ne found Line 13967 is: if [ `${IPCS_CMD} -u 2>/dev/null | awk -F' ' '/segments allocated/ {print $3}'` -ne 0 ]; then rkhunter 1.4.2 release 1.el6 from epel on a CentOS 6.5 Thanks Patrick

Let's say I have, for some reason, a bunch of scalars (i.e. single-valued variables) and I want to merge them all into a single vector of values. Can someone recommend a better function, or simpler way, to do so than the following? Suppose my scalars' names are foo1, foo2, foo3, foo1high, foo2high, foo3lo2, etc. Then I can do: >ls(pat='foo')->thels

Hi, So far as I can tell, the 'col.ticks' parameter for axis() only uses the first value provided. E.g.: plot(0:1,0:1, col.ticks=c('blue','red','green')) #all ticks are blue Just wondering if there's a different option in the basic plot commands that can handle multiple colors, and also whether ggplot and/or lattice allow for multiple tick colors.

William, Unbeknownst to me when I sent this, Jonathon Carrol started a specific thread about unquoting and a proposal for supporting it at the language level, which I think is a better place to discuss unquoting specifically. That said, the basics as I understand them in the context of non-standard evaluation, unquoting (or perhaps interpolation) is essentially substituting part of an unevaluated

Hi, While playing with quantile-quantile plots, I wrote up some code which plots something strangely different. Here's the pseudocode: testhist <- hist(sample_data) refhist <- hist(rnorm(n, mean=0,sd=1)) # for some large-ish n cumtest <- cumsum(testhist) cumref <- cumsum(refhist) plot(cumref,cumtest) This produces a straight line of slope 1 for a sample with the same

Hi, Sorry to bother with something that should be simple, but I can't find it. Suppose I have a list, each element of which is a 2xN dataframe, where N could be different for each element. Is there some simple structure to let me examine all the elements of each element's first column? For example: >foo $first [,1] [,2] [1,] 1 4 [2,] 2 5 [3,] 3 6 $second

Bill, Right. My example was the functional form for clarity. There is a desire for a unary-operator form. (rlang's !! and !!! operators described in the comments in the file I linked to). I can't really make that argument because I'm not one of the people who wanted that. You'd have to talk to the authors of the rlang package to find out their reasons for thinking that is

This is not the same as the recent thread on a waterfall graph. I'm thinking about the rolling FFT display used in acoustics and other spectrum analysis tasks. Here's an example of a very fancy 3-D waterfall display: http://www.ultimaserial.com/UltimaWaterfall.html I was just wondering if there are any simple hidden-line tools in R that I could use to draw simple waterfall displays.

Hi R - listers, I am receiving an error. Does anyone know what this means? J ggplot(subset(foo, Rayos != "Rayos.NA"), aes(x=HTL, y=DevelopIndex, colour=TotalEggs)) +geom_point() +geom_jitter() + facet_grid(Aeventexhumed ~ Rayos) + geom_smooth(method="lm", fill=NA) + ylim(c(0, 7)) Error in +geom_smooth(method = "lm", fill = NA) : invalid argument to unary

The unquoting discussion is IMHO separate from this proposal and as you noted probably better served by a native operator with different precedence. I think the main benefit to providing user defined prefix operators is it allows package authors to experiment with operator ideas and gauge community interest. The current situation means any novel unary semantics either need to co-opt existing

Just wondering how come read.table lets you specify fill=TRUE for ragged arrays, but so far as I can tell, no equivalent for write.table? Not a big deal, since I'm perfectly comfortable w/ write and scan and the other file I/O goodies. "A foolish inconsistency..." and all that. Carl
