similar to: defining an array with one of the elements being a vector

Dear all, I created a n*2 matrix and I want to replace the ith row with a vector. Can anyone suggest me what is the simple way to do it? Sorry for bothering you with such simple question. I appreciate any hints or advice. Thanks in advance. Cassie [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Dear all, I have a data set which has latitude, longitude (not in increasing order) and observed precipitation corresponding to those locations. I am using image.plot command for that. But I want to overlay a map of US on that plot. I know we can use map('usa') to draw it, but I dont know how can I overlay it on the plot of the precipitation data. Can anyone please help me with it?

Dear all, I am trying to simulate from truncated Pareto distribution. I know there is a package called PtProcess for Pareto distribution...but it is not for truncated one. Can anyone please help me with this? Thanks in advance. Cassie [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Dear all, I am trying to simulate from discrete uniform distribution. But I could not find any in-built code in R. Could anyone help me please? Thanks in advance for the time and help. Cassie [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Hello everyone, I am wondering if there is any routine in R which can convert time given in 'seconds' unit to the 12 hour time format. For example, suppose the data set looks like x=c(36885,84000,20) #x in seconds I want to get the output as [1] " 11:14:45 AM" [2] " 11:20:00 PM" [3] "12:20:00 AM" Does anyone have any idea? Thanks in advance. Cassie

Dear R community, I have a general question regarding indexing in multidiemensional arrays. Imagine I have a three dimensional array and I only want to extract on vector along a single dimension from it: data <- array(rnorm(64),dim=c(4,4,4)) result <- data[1,1,] If I want to extract more than one of these vectors, it would now really help me to supply a logical matrix of the

Dear list, this might be an easy one, but I could figure out a solution (or how to google the right term). Is there any way to test whether all elements of a vector are identical? For numeric vectors I would use sum(diff(vector)==0)==0 but I have character vectors. Any Ideas? Cheers Jannis

Dear All, I am trying to define a loop for a m*n matrix, where i=1:n and j=1:m. Unlike the usual for loop, i should go in the following way: For j=1, i=1,2,3,....n For j=2, i=n,n-1,n-2,......,1 For j=3, i=1,2,3,.....n etc. which means i should go in either increasing or decreasing order alternatively. Can anyone please help me in doing this? Thanks, Cassie [[alternative HTML version

Does anyone know how to do a fry plot in R? I have 600-800 points per image, and I really don't want to attempt that manually. Thank you! Cassie [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Just as as.vector() takes a vector, matrix or array and returns a vector in row-major order, I'd like to write a function to take such an object and return the dimension names, pasted with some separator, as a similar vector. Here is something ugly cobbled together to demonstrate what I want: a function to work for any number of dimensions. vecnames <- function(x, sep=':') {

I am having a hard time putting the below into a loop, where it pulls out ppt from all he stations I have versus having to go through and hard code the data to the specific stations. I tried stnID <- stnid[which(duplicated(stnid)==FALSE)] for(i in 1:length(stnID)) { ppt[i] <- ppt[which(stnid==[i])] } but it doesn't like to use the which function inside a for loop? Any idea's here is

Dear all, I need to simulate values from a Poisson distribution which is truncated at certain value 'a'. Can anyone tell me if there is in-built package in R which can simulate from a truncated Poisson? If not, what should be the steps to write a function which would do that? Thanks in advance.

Hi all, I have a matrix which looks like the following, x=matrix(c(1,2,3,4,3,5,4,6,4,9),5,2,byrow=T) Now, I want to replace the 2nd columns of those 4 rows which have duplicate entries in the 1st column. For example, x[2,1]=x[3,1]=3 and I want to replace x[3,2] by x[2,2]. Similarly, I want to replace x[5,2] with x[4,2], which means that for duplicate entries in the 1st column, I want to replace

Hello R-users, I am having a problem with the 'break' command in R. I am wondering if anyone can help me out with this. My program is similar to the following. a=rep(NA,5) a[1]=0 for(i in 2:5) { a[i]=a[i-1]+runif(1,0,3) if(a[i]>5) { i=2 break } } What exactly I am trying to do is find the sequence 'a' where the individual values of 'a'

Hello R-users, I am trying to do an image plot where I have been given latitudes, longitudes and the values at the corresponding locations. A sample of the data is given as follows: values=c(0,1,0,0,0,0,2,2,0,0) lat=c(29.6660,29.6756,29.3492,29.2654,29.2827,29.4070,35.3510,35.6590,35.7587,38.2794)

Dear all, I am trying to plot 3 histograms on the same graph using the following command. hist(x,xlim=c(0,100)) hist(y,add=TRUE) hist(z,add=TRUE) The xlim of y is c(20,21) and that of z is c(99,99.5) , whereas the variable x has xlim at c(0.5,2). Apparently, the graph end of displaying a line only, corresponding to each histogram due to the wide range of the xlim and tightness of the

Hi I have the following array: test <- array(c(1:16), dim = c(3,4,3)) test ## I call some enries using an index array test.ind <- array(rbind(c(1,2,1), c(3,3,2)), dim = c(2,3)) test[test.ind] ## suppose I want all values in the 2nd row and 4th col over ## all three 3rd dimensions test[2,4,] how to specify a test.ind array with the last index left with ',' i.e test.ind should be

Hi everyone, I have bunch of date and time observations in the format %Y-%m-%d %I %M %S %p. I used strptime() to read this format. But the problem is some of the times are in the format of %I %M %p, so for those times, strptime is giving me NA values. For example, strptime(paste("2009-04-08","1:49:47 PM"),format="%Y-%m-%d %I:%M:%S %p") [1] "2009-04-08

Hi to everybody I have an array with dimensions 2,4,3,3. Wanting to sum the matrices in the first two dimensions, I'm trying to use the "apply" function, but with no results. Have to say I'm quite new with R syntax. tx in advance marco [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Dears, could anyone give me some advice how to change some plotting parameters for a lattice graph? I need to adjust the following: -reduce outer margins (like par(mar=c(0,0,0,0)) with base graphs) -modify positions of labels (like par(mpg=c(0,0,0)) with base graphs) I already did some research, but got confused by the huge amount of settings with the lattice objects. I know that the road
