Hi, I have a data.frame that contains a variable act which records the duration (in seconds) of two states (wet-dry) for several individuals (identified by Ring) over a period of time. Since I want to work with daytime (i.e. from sunrise till sunset) and night time (i.e. from sunset till next sunrise), I have to split act from time[i] till sunset and from sunset until time[i+1], and from time[k]

Hi All, I've been doing circles with this all morning, although I'm sure there's a simple solution. I have a data.frame "pop" as follows: > pop ind xloc yloc gonad 1 1 5 2 12 2 1 5 4 25 3 1 3 3 30 4 1 5 4 10 5 1 1 4 08 . . . . . 10 1 1 4 11 And I need the following steps: 1. Sum

I have a bit of a quandy. I'm working with a data set for which I have sampled sites at a variety of dates. I want to use this data, and get a running average of the sampled values for the current and previous date. I originally thought something like ddply would be ideal for this, however, I cannot break up my data by date, and then apply a function that requires information

I am trying to extract the shape and scale parameters of a wind speed distribution for different sites. I can do this in a clunky way, but I was hoping to find a way using data.table or plyr. However, when I try I am met with the following: set.seed(144) weib.dist<-rweibull(10000,shape=3,scale=8) weib.test<-data.table(cbind(1:10,weib.dist))

Hi, I would like to extract the last row of each group in a data frame. The data frame is as follows Name Value A 1 A 2 A 3 B 4 B 8 C 2 D 3 I would like to get a data frame as Name Value A 3 B 8 C 2 D 3 Thank you for your suggestions in advance Jeff

Dear all, I have a code where I subset a data frame to match entries within levels of an factor (actually, the full script uses three difference factors do do that). I'm very happy with the precision with which I can work with R, but since I loop over factor levels, and the data frame is big, the process is slow. So I've been trying to speed up the process using by(), but I got stuck at

Dear R-List, I have a dataframe with one grouping variable (x) and three response variables (y,z,w). df<-data.frame(x=c(rep(1,3),rep(2,4),rep(3,5)),y=rnorm(12),z=c(3,4,5,NA,NA,NA,NA,1,2,1,2,1),w=c(1,2,3,3,4,3,5,NA,5,NA,7,8)) >df      x            y            z     w      1      0.29306106  3      1      1      0.54797780  4      2      1     -1.38365548  5      3      2     -0.20407986

Hello! I have a data frame with a factor and a numeric variable: x<-data.frame(factor=c("b","b","d","d","e","e"),values=c(1,2,10,20,100,200)) For each level of "factor" - I would like to divide each value of "values" by the mean of "values" that corresponds to the level of "factor" In other

Hi, I have a matrix that looks like this a <- c(1,1,1,1,2,2,3,3,3,3) b <- c(2,2,2,3,4,4,4,5,5,6) c <- c(1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10) M <- matrix(nr=10,nc=3) M[,1] <- a M[,2] <- b M[,3] <- c > M [,1] [,2] [,3] [1,] 1 2 1 [2,] 1 2 2 [3,] 1 2 3 [4,] 1 3 4 [5,] 2 4 5 [6,] 2 4 6 [7,] 3 4 7

Dear All, I'm not sure if I understand the parameter stringsAsFactors correctly. I'm trying to convert the string columns in aframe1 to factors. But it seems stringsAsFactors=T in as.data.frame() doesn't do anything. Could anybody let know what is the correct way to converting strings to factors? > aframe1=data.frame(x=LETTERS[1:10], y=LETTERS[1:10], stringsAsFactors=F) >

Dear all, I have a question on applying a function to the data according to factor levels. For example, for the data below, what is the best way to apply a function to "values" according to different levels of "samples" (1,2,3,4,5)? values ind sample 1 0.03325 1 1 2 0.03305 1 1 3 0.03185 1 1 4 0.03515 1 1 5 0.03375 1 1 6 0.01180

Hi all, I'm feeling a little guilty to ask this question, since I've written a solution using a rather clunky for loop that gets the job done. But I'm convinced there must be a faster (and probably more elegant) way to accomplish what I'm looking to do (perhaps using the "merge" function?). I figured somebody out there might've already figured this out: I have

I am trying to write a function to change the case of all of the text in a data frame to lower case. I do not have foreknowledge of the data frame names or the data types of each column. It seems that if one references the data frame by index, then it returns class "data.frame" but if it is referenced by name, it returns class "factor" or whatever the column actually is:

Hi I'm trying to extract complete rows from a dataframe by group based on the maximum in a column within that group. Thus I have a dataframe: cvd_basestudy ... es_time ... _____________ study1 ... 0.3091667 study2 ... 0.3091667 study2 ... 0.2625000 study3 ... 0.3033333 study3 ... 0.2625000 __________ etc I can extract the basestudy and the max(es_time)
