Hello, I am running R 1.9.1 om Windows 2000 SP4. My problem is as follows: Say I have a dataframe my.frame with column names A and B. I have a string, >my.string [1] "A==1 & B==2" And I would like to retrieve the subset corresponding to my.string, that is, from my.frame and my.string I would like to get the result of subset(my.frame,A==1 & B==2) So I need to find a way

Hello, I'm not sure how to state my question in a technically accurate manner, so I'll use a short example to clarify my problem: Say I have a vector, vec<-c(1,2,3,2) I would like to be able to "reference" the vector by using the string containing the name of the vector - that is, I would like to know of some function which is able to convert the string "vec"

Hello, I have the following very simple problem: Say I have two vectors, a<-c(1,7,4,5,9,11) b<-c(7,4,9) I would like to create a vector containing the elements in a which are not in b. Obviously, this is possible by writing a[a!=b[1] & a!=b[2] & a!=b[3]] But I would like a solution which is applicable to the situation where the number of elements in b is unknown. I have

Hi R-listers, I am trying to better undertand what we would call "functional paradigm" use of S/R to better map my programming activities in other languages. This little function is aimed to create an object (at the end end, it would have it's own class): -- myObject =function(){ list( a=1, foo=function(b) { cat("b:",b)

Hi users, I am not sure to understand the help page about do.call. -- do.call(what, args) args: a _list_ of arguments to the function call. The 'names' attribute of 'args' gives the argument names. -- If we take the following sample data: > (tab=as.data.frame(table(factor(1:10)))) Var1 Freq 1 1 1 2 2 1 3 3 1 4 4 1 5 5

Hello, I wonder if someone could help me with the following: I have generated 10 000 values from rnorm and now I want to randomly replace 500 of those with NA. The problem is that values indexed between 6-10,16-20,26-30.... only should be considered for replacement. Any suggestions?

Hi all, Is it possible to add a permil (or per mille) symbol to an R plot (I couldn't find this symbol under demo(Hershey) or the plotmath information). In some ascii tables it is symbol no. 137. cheers, Matt. [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Hello UseRs: Excuses for my english. I have a dataset with 65000 records and I'd like to make a summary where I can view all the values (with the number of times that it repeats) that there are each column of my dataset. I tried with summary( ), str( ), but nothing gives me the result that I am loking for. Thank you very much.

Hi, is there any way to keep a sub matrix dimension? exemple : i1<-1; i2<-1 j1<-2; j2<-3; ret <-matrix(1,4,4)[i1:i2,j1:j2] ; dim(ret) is NULL because the submatrix single col or single row is coerce to a vector automaticaly. How can i bypass this cast : submatrix->vector ??????? Thank you. --------------------------------- [[alternative HTML version

I have a matrix that I want to turn into a transformed matrix that includes the indices from the original matrix and the value. The matrix is simply real-valued and is square (and large (8k x 8k)). I want something that looks like (for the 3x3 case): i j value 1 1 1.0 1 2 0.783432 1 3 -0.123482 2 1 0.783432 2 2 1.0 2 3 0.928374 and so on.... I can do this with for loops, but there is

Hi all, I need to compute some "occurence matrix": given a zero matrix and a set of paired indexes, I want to store the number of occurences of each paired index in a matrix. The paired indexes are stores as an index matrix. I prefere not to use loops for performances purpose. Here follows a dummy example: > occurence <- matrix(0, 2, 2); data [,1] [,2] [1,] 0 0

Hi R community, These days, I am writing some functions to work with 2-ways frequency tables ; you know all this tuff about measures of association: Chisq and derived (phi, cramer's v), tau b, tau c, somer's d and so on. So I consider all those functions could be gathered in a single R file, as they are coherent and dealing with the same problem / objective (analysis of crosstables).

Hi, If I define the following list: > (l<-list("text-align"="right")) $"text-align" [1] "right" I know that I can't use l$text-align, as the parser will find a '-' operation. If I want (need) to use special names, as "text-align", I have to enclose it between "". So I can use: l$"text-align" or

Hi, I need to parse a data file (output of a measuring device) of the following format: BEGIN RECORD [first record data] RECORD [second record data] RECORD [third record data] END Line breaks can (and do ;-() occur anywhere. White space behaves very much like TeX, eg it is not important whether there are one or more spaces or linebreaks as long as there is one of them. It is a text file, not

Hello, I have a question about addTaskCallback It is said that the argument visible allows to know wether the result of the top-level evaluation was printed or not. Nevertheless, in the following example, I encountered a problem, as it seems not all printed objects are visible... Could someone tell me where is the tip? TIA

Hello, Is there a way to extract multiple columns from a dataframe using their names instead of their numbers? Currently I use: data2 <- data1[, c(1,3,9)] And I am looking for something like data2 <- data1[, c("XX","YY","ZZ")] I use the same dataframe for many purposes, and I run codes that change the order of the columns every time. Many thanks, Adrian

Dear R users, Following some of the recent questions and discussions about the R plotting abilities, it occurred to me again that it would be very valuable to have an R graph gallery. Eric Lecoutre made a very nice example in: http://www.stat.ucl.ac.be/ISpersonnel/lecoutre/stats/fichiers/_gallery.pdf It would be very useful to many beginners, but probably also advanced users of R, to have an

Hello, I would find it very usefull to have the ability to load packages with options. Consider for example the SciViews package Philippe and me are working on. When loading on Windows, it automatically loads the associated GUI executable. It should be convenient to have an option not to load the exe but still have an access to the R functions of the package. For that, I think a simple change

Hi R-devel, If you did read my survey on Rhelp about reporting, you may have seen that I am implementing a way to handle outputs for R (mainly target output destinations: xHTML and TeX). In fact: I does have something that works for basic objects, entirely done with S4 classes, with the results visible at: http://www.stat.ucl.ac.be/ROMA/sample.htm http://www.stat.ucl.ac.be/ROMA/sample.pdf To
