similar to: Correct Syntax for subset.data.frame()

I've tried various commands. ?plot, Teetor's book, "R Cookbook", and Mittal's book, "R Graphs Cookbook" without seeing how to write the command to create scatterplots from my data.frame. The structure is: > str(chemdata) 'data.frame': 14886 obs. of 4 variables: $ site : Factor w/ 148 levels "BC-0.5","BC-1",..: 104 145 126 115

The data set (called 'chemdata') has 6 columns (4 factors, 1 date, 1 numeric) and I need to create subsets for each of one of the factors ('stream'). This has worked flawlessly for all but two streams which were created yesterday. The command I use to create the subsets is like this: > rnchH <- subset(chemdata, stream == 'RanchSpgsH', select = c(site, sampdate,

I have a data frame called chemdata with this structure: > str(chemdata) 'data.frame': 14886 obs. of 4 variables: $ site : Factor w/ 148 levels "BC-0.5","BC-1",..: 104 145 126 115 114 128 124 2 3 3 ... $ sampdate: Date, format: "1996-12-27" "1996-08-22" ... $ param : Factor w/ 8 levels "As","Ca","Cl",..:

I don't find how to do what I need to do in Dalgaard or 'R Cookbook', so I'm asking here. I have a data frame with water chemistry data and I want to start exploring these data. There are three factors (site, date, chemical) associated with each measurement. The data frame looks like this: > summary(chemdata) site_id.sample_date.param.quant

I have water chemistry data with censored values (i.e., those less than reporting levels) in a data frame with a narrow (i.e., database table) format. The structure is: $ site : Factor w/ 64 levels "D-1","D-2","D-3",..: 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 ... $ sampdate: Date, format: "2007-12-12" "2007-12-12" ... $ preeq0 : logi TRUE TRUE TRUE TRUE TRUE

This is my first excursion into using reshape2 and I want to ensure that the melt() function call is syntactically correct. The unmodifed data frame is organized this way: head(tds.anal) site sampdate param quant 1 UDS-O 2006-12-06 TDS 10800 4 STC-FS 1996-06-14 Cond 280 7 UDS-O 2007-10-04 Mg 1620 9 UDS-O 2007-10-04 SO4 7580 19 JCM-10B 2007-06-21 Ca 79 20

I've successfully reformatted data frames from long to wide with reshape2, but this time I'm getting errors that I want to understand and resolve. Here's the data frame structure and the results of the melt() and dcast() functions: str(waterchem) 'data.frame': 128412 obs. of 8 variables: $ site : Factor w/ 64 levels "D-1","D-2","D-3",..: 1 1

I have read ?zoo but am not sure how to relate the parameters (x, order.by, frequency, and style) to my data.frame. The structure of the data.frame is 'data.frame': 11169 obs. of 4 variables: $ stream : Factor w/ 37 levels "Burns","CIL",..: 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 ... $ sampdate: Date, format: "1987-07-23" "1987-09-17" ... $ param : Factor w/

Working with 5 subset streams from my source data frame, three of them successfully call dcast(), but two fail: jerritt.cast <- dcast(jerritt.melt, site + sampdate ~ param) Aggregation function missing: defaulting to length and winters.cast <- dcast(winters.melt, site + sampdate ~ param) Aggregation function missing: defaulting to length Yet both data frames have the values in their

The sample data sets that come with the NADA package are limited to one or two variables and a censored measurement indicator column. I try to mimic examples using my data but keep missing the target. My water chemistry data is available in two formats: long (as seen in a database table) and wide (as seen in a spreadsheet). The two structures are: str(chem) 'data.frame': 65349 obs. of

Data frame has this structure: 'data.frame': 11169 obs. of 4 variables: $ stream : Factor w/ 37 levels "Burns","CIL",..: 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 ... $ sampdate: Date, format: "1987-07-23" "1987-09-17" ... $ param : Factor w/ 8 levels "As","Ca","Cl",..: 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 ... $ quant : num 0.01 0.01 0.01 0.01

Before reading water chemistry into a data frame I removed all missing data. Yet when I try to run cenros() to summarize a specific chemical I get an error that I do not understand: with( subset(chem, param=='Ag'), cenros(quant,ceneq1) ) Error in lm.fit(x, y, offset = offset, singular.ok = singular.ok, ...) : NA/NaN/Inf in 'y' I would like to learn what I did incorrectly

I need to understand how and why dcast() adds NAs to a data frame that contained no missing values. The database table of chemical concentrations has all missing values removed because they cannot contribute to data analyses. The structure of the R data frame of these data have no NA values, and neither does the data frame resulting from applying the reshape2 melt() function to it. However,

I've a data frame with this structure: 'data.frame': 1987 obs. of 11 variables: $ site : Factor w/ 24 levels "B(W)","BC-1",..: 1 1 2 2 2 1 1 1 ... $ sampdate : Date, format: "2000-07-18" "2000-07-18" ... $ tclass : Factor w/ 8 levels "Annelida","Arachnida",..: 1 5 5 5 5 ... $ torder : Factor

If there's a separate ESS user mail list, please point me to it. I'm using emacs with ESS and want to enter multiline commands for plots. Examples in my reference books show each line terminating with a comma so labels and other attributes can be specified for the plot before it is submitted for rendering. When I try to do this, however, I get an error: > boxplot(chemdata$quant ~

I have a data frame with 1 factor, one date, and 37 numeric values: str(waterchem) 'data.frame': 3525 obs. of 39 variables: site : Factor w/ 64 levels "D-1","D-2","D-3",..: 1 1 1 1 1 ... $ sampdate : Date, format: "2007-12-12" "2008-03-15" ... $ CO3 : num 1 1 6.7 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 ... $ HCO3 : num 231 228 118 246

Thanks to David's help I subset my large data set and produced a smaller one for a single stream and 7 factors of interest. The structure of this data frame is: str(burns.tds.anal) 'data.frame': 718 obs. of 4 variables: $ site : Factor w/ 143 levels "BC-0.5","BC-1",..: 1 1 4 6 4 4 4 5 5 5 $ sampdate: Date, format: "1996-06-02"

I believe that I have a basic understanding of zoo and how to use read.zoo on a text file, What I have not seen in the zoo help files and vignettes is how to convert a data frame to a zoo matrix for irregular time series analyses. An example data frame is structured like this: str(burns.cast) 'data.frame': 256 obs. of 47 variables: $ site : Factor w/ 143 levels

A data frame has one factor, one date, and one numeric column. When I plot these using the default pch of the open circle (first attachment), xyplot(TDS ~ sampdate | she.s, data = sheep.cast, main = 'TDS in Sheep Creek', ylab = 'Concentration (mg/L)', xlab = 'Time') I see the higher concentration points toward the right on several panels. But, when I change to using a

Rich, The documentation for cenboxplot states that the second argument must be logical and not integer. the function cenboxplot substitutes synthetic values for censored values using ros, hence the error message from the ros method. I also do not understand how you expect group = 'SO4' to work. It is not clear that the function will replicate 'SO4' to make a single group.
