similar to: its dates masked by chron

Hi, I am using Sweave for chapters in my thesis that contain results. In the beginning of each chapter, I use this to load libraries I need. <<init,echo=FALSE,quiet=TRUE>>= library(gplots) library(Hmisc) library(e1071) @ What I want is, of course, to supress messages written by this code, but what I get in the end is X-init.tex with this the contents below. How do I really supress

Dear R People: I wanted to use the package "its" this afternoon. I'm using R Version 2.2.0 for Windows. I was able to install the package, but ran into trouble at the "library" command. Here is the output: > library(its) Loading required package: Hmisc Hmisc library by Frank E Harrell Jr Type library(help='Hmisc'), ?Overview, or ?Hmisc.Overview') to see

Trying to build its_1.0.4 in a chroot environment to update the corresponding Debian package, I get * Installing *source* package 'its' ... ** R ** inst ** save image Loading required package: Hmisc Hmisc library by Frank E Harrell Jr Type library(help='Hmisc'), ?Overview, or ?Hmisc.Overview') to see overall documentation.

Full_Name: Kem Phillips Version: 2.7.1 (2008-06-23) OS: Windows Xp professional Submission from: (NULL) (98.221.200.108) The Hmisc function describe fails, giving the error message: Error in formatDateTime(dd, atx, !timeUsed) : could not find function "format.dates" Loading the chron package, where function dates apparently resides, does not fix the problem. Note

Describe fails for me with a message similar to what was an issue in 2008 and got fixed according to posts.

Hello, everybody: I'm experimenting more with Sweave, R, and LyX. There's now an entry in the LyX wiki on using R, so anybody can do it! http://wiki.lyx.org/LyX/LyxWithRThroughSweave Now I notice this frustrating thing. I think I've done everything possible to make the Design library start up without any fanfare: <<echo=F,quiet=T,print=F>>= library(Design, verbose=F)

I use POSIXct for datetimes. Is thee a timeAlign function that I can use where : align by year direction -1 ==> start of this year direction 1 ==> start of next year align by week direction -1 ==> date on last sunday direction 1 ==> date on next sunday align by day direction -1 ==> time at past midnight direction 1 ==> time at this comming

Can this be re-implemented to run faster (without the loop) ? r <- list() n = nrow(prices) for (i in (w+1):n) { window <- prices[(i-w):(i-1),] if (prices[i,]$settle > max(window$high)) r <- append(r, 1) else if (prices[i,]$settle < min(window$low)) r <- append(r, -1)

I want to generate a sequence from 1 to x by 1 seq(1,x,by=1) I want the above to return an empty list if x is zero In other languages I can do 1:x:1 to force the increment by to be a positive 1. This syntax does not work in R. In R 1:x gives me 1 0 when x is zero, this is not what I want. The seq statement above throws an error when x is 0. How can I generate a sequence where if the

This may be more of an OS question ... I have this call r = get.hist.quote(symbol, start= format(start, "%Y-%m-%d"), end= format(end, "%Y-%m-%d")) which does a url request in a loop and my program runs out of file handlers after few hundred rotations. The error message is: 'Too many open files'. Other than increasing the file handlers assigned to my process, is there

These are date and times in the format YYYYMMDDhhmmss. I would like to take this column and make a chron object form them. I have tried a couple of the split family of functions but they need character input here is the data: date.time <- c(19851001001500, 19851001003000, 19851001004500, 19851001010000, 19851001011500, 19851001013000, 19851001014500, 19851001020000, 19851001021500,

Hi R users all , I have a clean install of R-2.15.0 in a win32 machine and a problem loading Matrix 1.0-6 that looks like this: > library(Matrix) Loading required package: lattice Error : object ?kronecker? is not exported by 'namespace:methods' Error: package/namespace load failed for ?Matrix? > I understand that kronecker() now has an S4 generic in package methods. Is that a

Does Surv in psm handle interval2 data? The argument list seems to indicate it does but I get an error. Thanks, Chris # code library('survival') left <- c(1, 3, 5, NA) right <-c(2, 3, NA, 4) Surv(left, right, type='interval2') survreg(Surv(left, right, type='interval2') ~ 1) library('rms') Surv(left, right, type='interval2') # error args(Surv)

tmp <- c(-1,NA,NA,1,1,NA,NA,1) without using a loop, how can I replace all NAs in the list above with the previous none NA value in the list?

Hi all: I am having trouble dropping levels, got a few hints online?without success. Please consider the dataset below: ?I was under the inpression that subset(......drop=TRUE) would work but it doesn't library(ggplot2) ??? library(hmisc) x <- structure(list(first = c(38.2086, 43.1768, 43.146, 41.8044, 42.4232, 46.3646, 38.0813, 40.0745, 40.4889, 38.6246, 40.2826, 41.6056, 34.5353,

I have prices that I am finding difficult to compare with ==, > and >, due to precision. For example: the numbers should match, with '==', but they differ in the magnitude of 1e-14 due to bunch of calculations that I run on them. Programming with java, I am used to implementing a function that compares the difference between the numbers to a pre determined precision factor. This

This is a eaeir way to ask my prior question: I want to caculate how many an exact day of the month there is between two dates. For example; How many 7th of the month is there between "1998/12/17" and "2000/1/7". To make the problem simple, the day of the month (7) is the day in the 2nd date.

> r [1] open settle <0 rows> (or 0-length row.names) > class(r) [1] "data.frame" this is an empty data.frame I get back from a sql statement that returns an empty result set. How can I create such an empty data.frame using the data.frame() constructor? I want to have a data.frame with 0 rows but named empty columns. Thanks in advance for any help.

Can someone, please, explain the difference is results below (notice the isdst value) > unlist(as.POSIXlt('2005-7-1')) sec min hour mday mon year wday yday isdst 0 0 0 1 6 105 5 181 1 > unlist(as.POSIXlt(as.Date('2005-7-1'))) sec min hour mday mon year wday yday isdst 0 0 0 1 6 105 5 181 0

Hello, I am trying to use HMisc describe on a data frame. I have specified certain variables as dates using, for example: df1$aidsdate <- dates(aidsdate,format="day.mon.year", origin=c(month = 1, day = 1, year = 1960)) When I use describe on the dataframe I get this error: Error in Ops.dates(weights, x) : * not defined for chron objects Has anyone had this problem?
