Hi everybody I have found something (for me at least) strange with duplicated(). I will first provide a replicable example of a certain kind of behaviour that I find odd and then give a sample of unexpected results from my own data. I hope someone can help me understand this. Consider the following # this works as expected ex=sample(1:20, replace=TRUE) ex duplicated(ex) ex=sort(ex) ex

Hallo Everybody Consider the following vector a=1:10 b=20:30 c=40:50 x=c(a,b,c) I need a function that can tell me that there are three set of continuos sequences and that the first is from 1:10, the second from 20:30 and the third from 40:50. In other words: a,b, and c. regards Christiaan [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Hi everybody. I want to identify not only duplicate number but also the original number that has been duplicated. Example: x=c(1,2,3,4,4,5,6,7,8,9) y=duplicated(x) rbind(x,y) gives: [,1] [,2] [,3] [,4] [,5] [,6] [,7] [,8] [,9] [,10] x 1 2 3 4 4 5 6 7 8 9 y 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 i.e. the second 4 [,5] is a duplicate. What I want is

I have a large dataset (questionnaire results) of mostly categorical variables. I have tested for dependency between the variables using chi-square test. There are an incomprehensible number of dependencies. I used the chaid() function in the CHAID package to detect interactions and separate out (what I hope to be) the underlying structure of these dependencies for each variable. What typically

Hi everybody I am a recent convert from SAS so please excuse me if this is all very obvious: I want to use the runs test {runs.test() in package tseries} to test the randomness of a certain variable in a survey for each interviewer. I tried to us the by() statement but it doesn't seem to work with runs.test() as the function. Here is what I have: Consider a data frame with two variables and

Hi everybody. I have a dataframe that contains a factor with the date information in the format like in the example below: "2009/05/12 11:22:31 AM" I have been able to convert it to POSIXt using strptime Now I want to print only the date as one vector and the time in another vector but they must be real date and time classes so that i can use them in calculations to reconstruct my

Hi everybody Im on R version 2.11.1 on Mac OS X I am working through David Kahle's example of using ggplot2 with Rgooglemaps (found here: https://github.com/hadley/ggplot2/wiki/Crime-in-Downtown-Houston,-Texas-:-Combining-ggplot2-and-Google-Maps). Excellent page by the way. I have downloaded the data and the code and want to learn how to do this by first simulating David's results and

Hi everyone I want to apply a function by two indices. I have a number of surveyors submitting questionnaires. I want to check the time of the first submission for the day for each surveyor and also see a NA is no submission was done on a particular day. This generates a sample of the data:

Hi Everybody In R, the XLConnect package can read and write named region to and from Excel. In order to read a named region with the readNamedRegion function you need to know it's name. You can check is a name exists with existsName, but you still have to know the name. Is there a way to actually get a list of the named regions in XLConnect sinilar to getRanges in the xlsx package. On that

Hi Everybody I want to print a latex table containing math characters in the column heading These are the formulae I want to use as column headings. It prints OK from TeX $\sum_{i}\sum_{j}C_{P,i,j,y}\times\mathit{FC}_{i}$, $XU_{alt,y}$, $n$, $\bar{C}_{P,y}$ My plan was to create a character vector with these and later rbind the values to them. When I create the vector like:

Hallo Everyone I have the kind of problem that one should never have because one must always plan well and communicate with your team. But now I haven't so here is my problem. I have data coming in on a daily basis from surveys in 10 towns. The questionnaire has 62 variables but some of the regions have used older versions of the questionnaire that have a few variables less. I want to combine

Hi everyone (Pardon the incorrect terminology of my previous post: "vertical line...). I have created a function that uses xtable to print table of frequencies and percentages with a heading and some sample information (the sample size and missing values). The function and example data is below. I want a horisontal line that separates the results from the sample information i.e. a

Hallo Everybody How do you specify arguments for a function used within another function? Here is my problem: I am reconstructing a calculator for the burden of disease due to air pollution from publications and tools published by the WHO. The calculations make use of published dose-response relationships for particular health end-points. This is then applied to populations with known or

Hi Everybody I need to "transport" some data and results to use another application (Sweave via LyX - where debugging is very difficult) in order to build a report. Is it possible to store a collection of variables of different types (like named integers, matricies, data frames and two lists) all in one list and save it and then simply load it again later and "unpack" the

Hi Everybody Is there a way in which one can use the RPostgreSQL package to take a sample from a table in Postgres database without having to read the whole table into R regards Christiaan [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Hi Everybody I use R2.8.0 on Mac OS X. I set up LyX 1.6.1 to use Sweave today. I can compile the test file I found on CRAN ( http://cran.r-project.org/contrib/extra/lyx/) without a problem and the output looks very nice. In the test file the following R code is used. <<myFirstChunkInLyX>>= xObs <- 100; xMean <- 10; xVar <- 9 x <- rnorm(n=xObs, mean=xMean, sd=sqrt(xVar))

Hi Everybody I need to create a lot of frequency tables with frequencies and percentages (and cumilative freq and % as well) for a report. freq() in prettyR give more or less what I need. I am trying to export the result of freq() to html but the html doesn't look look the console output. See the following example library(prettyR) library(Hmisc) x <- matrix(sample(1:3, 12,

Hi Ricardo and everybody In this old post to rhelp you say that the problem was solved but not what the sollution was. I have the same problem now. I want to read a Excel file from a google site that has restricted access so I need to give a username and password at some point. I could not find an example or a help file that shows how this can be done. You post is one of few but it does not
