I want to change the type to factor of all variables in a data frame whose names match a certain pattern. So here I am trying to change the type to factor of all variables whose name begins with?namestub?in the dataframe?df. attach(df)sapply(grep(glob2rx("namestub*"),names(df)),as.factor) But this doesn't work since >levels(df$namestub1)NULL

Is there an element-by-element multiplication in R, like the .* operator in Matlab? eg: A (2x3) B (2x3) C=A.*B C (2x3) C = [[a11*b11 a12*b12 a13*b13]; [a21*b21 a22*b22 a23*b23]] I can't find one... Thanks -Mike Gates

Dear all: I'm trying to fit the optimal Box-Cox transformation related to nls (see the code below) for the demand of money data in Green (3th Edition) but in the last step R gives the next error message. Error en `[.data.frame`(eval(object$data), , as.character(formula(object)[[2]])[2]) : undefined columns selected. ?Any idea to solve the problem? Thanks in advance,

Hi All I am having 2 very long character strings (550chars) and I want to put them as expressions together with c(). The problem is that I also get these double-quotes, as seen below in 'fct'. How can I remove these double-quotes? I tried as.name() but it did not work (because of size?). These are creating trouble with subsequent programs, which I tested with strings that for some

Hi, Is there any package that I can use to simulate the Gaussian Mixture Model , which is a mixture modeling method that is widely used in statistical learning theory. I know there is a mclust, however, I think it is a little bit different from my problem. Thanks very much.. regards. -------------------------- Peng Jiang ??

Dear helpers, I wrote a code which estimates a multi-equation model with generalized least squares (GLS). I can use GLS because I know the covariance matrix of the residuals a priori. However, it is a bit slow and I wonder if anybody would be able to point out a way to make it faster (it is part of a bigger code and needs to run several times). Any suggestion would be greatly appreciated. Carlo

Dear R buddies, This weekend I became interested in solving Google Code Jam problems using R. I guess R may work very well in this kind of contests but the input of file has been a problem for me. Take this case for example (http://code.google.com/codejam/contest/dashboard?c=agdjb2RlamFtchALEghjb250ZXN0cxjRzBQM), the files are usually of the form: A(number of lines for group 1) a11 a12 a13 a21

I am fitting models to the responses to a questionnaire that has seven yes/no questions (Item). For each combination of Subject and Item, the variable Response is coded as 0 or 1. I want to include random effects for both Subject and Item. While I understand that the datasets are fairly small, and there are a lot of invariant subjects, I do not understand something that is happening

r-devel list, I have recently written an R package that solves a linear least squares problem, and computes the multivariate normal density function. The bulk of the code is written in C, with interfacing code to the BLAS and Lapack libraries. The motivation here is speed. I ran into a problem computing the determinant of a symmetric matrix in packed storage. Apparently, there are no explicit

TBAA Question. Please consider the following test case. ---Snip-- struct B { int b1; int b2; }; struct C { int b1; }; struct A { int a1; struct C SC; int a2; }; int foo1(struct A * Aptr, struct B* Bptr) { int *a = &Aptr->SC.b1; *a=10; Bptr->b1 = 11; return *a; } int foo2(struct A * Aptr, struct B* Bptr) { Aptr->SC.b1=10; Bptr->b1 = 11; return

*Hi @ all, I have a question concerning the possibilty of grouping the columns of a matrix. R groups the columns alphabetically. What can I do to group the columns in my specifications? The script is the following:* > #R-Skript: Anzahl xyz > > #Quelldatei einlesen > b<-read.csv2("Z:/int/xyz.csv", header=TRUE) > > #Teilmengen f?r die Einzeljahre generieren >

Dear friends: I am a new R user, and not very good at statistics and maths I find it difficult to find the minimum of this item: ((p*(b-1)-1)*(p+1)^(b-1)+1)/p^2 It seems that the method optim can find the minimum. I tried several times , but R constanly tells that " failure to find b or p" Would you please give some suggestions? Thanks in advance. Best

HI, Dear R community, I have a large data set names dd.txt, the columns are: there are 2402 variables. a1, b1, ..z1, a11, b11, ...z11, a111, b111, ..z111.. IF I dont know the relative position of the columns, but I know I need the following variables: var<-c(a1, c1,a11,b11,f111) Can I use read.columns to read the data into R? I have tried the following codes, but it does not work

Hello! I having a problem with the permissions of some of my logfiles.

Hi R users, I have a couple of questions about some problems that I am facing with regard to numerical integration and optimization of likelihood functions. Let me provide a little background information: I am trying to do maximum likelihood estimation of an econometric model that I have developed recently. I estimate the parameters of the model using the monthly US unemployment rate series

Dear R experts, I am having difficulty using loops productively and would like to please ask for advice. I have a dataframe of ids and groups. I would like to break down the dataframe into groups, find the unique sets of ids, then reassemble. My thought was to use a loop, but I have been unable to finish this loop in a logical way. I would like to find the unique ids for group 1, group 2,

Hello, I?m having some weird problems while coping large files (> 1GB) to a GlusterFS through a Fuse client. When the copy is done using the cp command everything is fine, but if I use a Java program, the GlusterFS Fuse hangs. The kern.log shows timeout for the Java program and the Fuse client. Anyone have experienced this behavior? Test environment: Ubuntu 16.04.2 LTS (GNU/Linux

Hi, I have a bright, diligent second-year graduate student who wants to learn statistics and R and will, in effect, be taking a tutorial from me on these subjects. (If you've seen some of my questions on this list, please don't laugh.) As an undergrad he majored in philosophy, so this will be his first foray into computer programming and statistics. I'm thinking of having him use
