I am working with a table in my database where I am looking through every record to see if it matches with every other record in that same table to see if its a soundex match or not I want to define a method where I can call it as a true or false statement like: onerecord.soundex(otherrecord) = true or false and be able to run the code below based on if its true or false -- Posted via

Hello! I'm Shubham Sharma, a 3rd year Information Systems student at BITS Pilani, and I'd like to explore the possibilities of a GSOC Project that would aim at improving the tolerant retrieval capabilities via *phonetic* correction(: misspellings that arise because the user types a query that sounds like the target term. ) I did find spelling correction via edit distance in

Dear R-members, Suppose I have a vector with the following strings: V = c("Welfare_Group_1024", "Welfare_Group_1536", "Welfare_Group_160") I want to 'automatically generate a nice y-axis label for this data. A good candidate is something close to "Welfare Group". Is there an easy way to compute something close to the greatest common

Hello dear R-helpers, I'm working with R-2.15.2 on Windows 7 OS. I'm stucked with a merge of two data frames by characters. In each data frame I got two different list of names, that is my main-key to be merged. To figure out what I'm saying, I build up a modified "?merge" example, with errors by purpose: # Data for authors: authors <- data.frame( surname =

Hi, is there a function in R to convert data read with read.shape and which is originally in UTM coordinates into longitude / latitude coordinates? I found the convUL() function from the PBSmapping package but I have no idea how I could apply that to the read.shape object. Many thanks, Werner __________________________________________________ Do sragenden Schutz gegen Massenmails.

Dear all, I need to generate a list of lists as required by the bayesm-package. This means in my application that I have to generate a list which consists of 2000 elements, which are lists themselves: list(list(y1,X1),...,list(y2000,X2000)). The y are vectors and the X are matrices of different dimensions. I tried to solve this problem iteratively by the following code, but received an error

Hi, this is probably the easiest thing to do but I manage not finding the answer: I have a list with matrices of exact same format and headers. Now I would like to transform the list into an normal array. What is the proper way to do this? as.array changes the entire format and right now I only found the method of creating a new array, going through the entire list and copy the matrix in each

Hi! I have large matrices, one column per variable and I have a vector of factors / grouping symbols. Then I am computing subtotals for the groups but it takes pretty long and thus I wanted to ask if there is a better way to do it or if this is already the best way: subTotals <- function(x, groupvec) do.call("rbind",lapply(split(x,groupvec),colSums,na.rm=T)) Thanks reading my

Hi, has anybody encountered and solved the following problem? I continued work now on a different computer where I have also used Sweave successfully before. I can run Sweave() and it generates a .tex file. All code chunks are processed and translated to Latex perfectly fine but somehow only the \Sexpr{} tags are not parsed. This is an example .Rnw: \documentclass{article} \usepackage{Sweave}

Hi everybody I am totally new to rails and I am trying to start a tiny project to get familiar with rails. But I already got my first problem and I would be happy if somebody could point me in the best and cleanest direction. I am trying to develop a small gallery app. Since I would like to add more features in future I am trying to design a clean OO architecture of my models: The base object

Hi! I have browsed the help archives but did not find anything on the subject: How to make publication quality graphs with R best? Is there some document about that topic out there? The problem is that the graphs look nice on the screen but when printed in black and white every color apart from black doesn't look very nice. Is there some guideline how to set color palettes and or fill

Hi, I was wondering if anybody might have a reference for me: My R code is growing and getting more and more confusing. Thus, I figure it's time to switch to object-oriented again. I have done oo programming in C++ and Java before but the first few tutorial on R oo were a bit confusing for me. Is there any brief tutorial on oo programming in R especially for people who have done oo in Java

Hi List, I want to use Active Directory for my samba users passwords and /etc/group for storing group membership. /etc/nsswitch.conf looks like: group: file Problem: the tests i ran show that the samba server does not know about group membership (deleting file from other user belonging to the same group fails). The same test works as expectet when winbindd is switched off. What do i have to

Not sure how much this will interest people but I don''t have a blog so I''m posting something I threw together today cause I think it might be useful. In what little free time I have I''ve been wanting to put together a Rails/Ferret based restful dictionary. So I finally got a chance to get started today so the first thing I wanted to do was implement a metaphone

Hi, this is probably a very trivial question but I can't figure out the right terms to find the solution in the list archive. I have a matrix or a data.frame or the like: > m <- matrix(ncol=3,seq(1,9)) > m [,1] [,2] [,3] [1,] 1 4 7 [2,] 2 5 8 [3,] 3 6 9 and now I wonder if one can provide somehow two vectors, one containing row numbers, the other

Hi there! I am considering to port a SAS application to R and I would like to hear your opinion if you think this is possible and worthwhile. SAS is mainly used to do data management and then to do some aggregations and simple computations on the data and to output a modified data set. The main problem I see is the size of the data file. As I have no access to SAS yet I cannot give real details
