how do I create a data frame with the given column names _NOT KNOWN IN ADVANCE_? i.e., I have a vector of strings for names and I want to get an _EMPTY_ data frame with these column names. is it at all possible? -- Sam Steingold (http://sds.podval.org/) on CentOS release 5.3 (Final) http://openvotingconsortium.org http://pmw.org.il http://memri.org http://mideasttruth.com

Dear All, I'm trying to draw a TeX histogram with the following pair of commands, pictex(file = "realhisto.tex") hist(Peaklist$V3,xlab="Height $z/\\ut{mm}$",ylab="Probability density $\\phi{}(z-z_0)/(1/\\ut{mm})$") However, in the resulting file realhisto.tex, I get, for example \put {Height \$z/\ut\{mm\}\$} [lB] <0.00pt,0.00pt> at 136.13 9.17 when

Hi, I have a data frame df and a list of names of columns that I want to turn into factors: df.names <- attr(df,"names") sapply(factors, function (name) { pos <- match(name,df.names) if (is.na(pos)) stop(paste(name,": no such column\n")) df[[pos]] <- factor(df[[pos]]) cat(name,"(",pos,"):",is.factor(df[[pos]]),"\n")

Suppose I have a vector of strings: c("A1B2","A3C4","B5","C6A7B8") [1] "A1B2" "A3C4" "B5" "C6A7B8" where each string is a sequence of <column><value> pairs (fixed width, in this example both value and name are 1 character, in reality the column name is 6 chars and value is 2 digits). I need to

> x <- rnorm(1000) > h <- hist(x,plot=FALSE) > sum(h$density) [1] 2 ----------------------------- shouldn't it be 1?! > h <- hist(x,plot=FALSE, breaks=(-4:4)) > sum(h$density) [1] 1 ----------------------------- now it's 1. why?! -- Sam Steingold (http://sds.podval.org/) on Ubuntu 11.10 (oneiric) X 11.0.11004000 http://www.childpsy.net/ http://www.memritv.org

is there a way to avoid c() appending ".0" and ".1" to seed? --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- > c("nons"=1, "seed"=3) nons seed ## good! 1 3 > c("nons"=1, "seed"=tab[1]) nons seed.0 ## don't want ".0"! 1 2344600 >

Hi, I find this behavior unexpected: --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- > strsplit(c("a,b;c","d;e,f"),c(",",";")) [[1]] [1] "a" "b;c" [[2]] [1] "d" "e,f" --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- I thought that it should be identical to this:

Hi, It appears that deal does not support missing values (NA), so I need to remove them (NAs) from my data frame. how do I do this? (I am very new to R, so a detailed step-by-step explanation with code samples would be nice). Some columns (variables) have quite a few NAs, so I would rather drop the whole column than sacrifice all the rows (observations) which have NA in that column. How do I

Greetings- I'm aware that there's no documentation for pictex available easily (that is, without purchasing it). I'm wondering if someone can help me with a simple task. When generating a plot using pictex() from R, one of the commands I use is mtext("Dimension 2: L=xxxx", side=2, line=3) when using X11(), this appears vertically along the Y axis; when using pictex(), it

How do I read/write liblinear models to files? E.g., if I train a model using the command line interface, I might want to load it into R to look the histogram of the weights. Or I might want to train a model in R and then apply it using a command line interface. -- Sam Steingold (http://sds.podval.org/) on Ubuntu 12.04 (precise) X 11.0.11103000 http://www.childpsy.net/

I know it does not look very good - using the same column names to mean different things in different data frames, but here you go: --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- > x <- data.frame(a=c(1,2,3),b=c(4,5,6)) > y <- data.frame(b=c(1,2),a=c("a","b")) >

Got an error trying to run the PicTeX graphics driver in Version 0.50 Beta (Sept 29, 1997) of R under Windows 95. When I executed pictex() I got the following error message: Error in device("pictex", as.character(c(file, bg, fg)), c(width, height, : unable to start device pictex > It looks like the command exists but not the code to implement it.

Hi everyone, I have just received a bug from one of my students. It concerns the pictex command to produce plots in latex format. It seems to add lines on the graph even in the most simplest cases. For example, try the following quadratic curve: plot(1:11,(-5:5)^2,type="b",main="Simple Example Plot") Now, saving the plot with the following command:

Dear R-users It is me again with my interminables questions... This time it is about "pictex". I understood that pictex allows us to put our graph in a latex file I have try the function: > pictex (file=...) and the answer was: "pictex" not found... Does it mean that it is not an R-function yet? Thank you for any feedback. Halima from Leiden

Greetings- I've got some plots I'd like to include in a LaTeX document; specifically, I'd like to include them via pictex() so I can edit some of the particulars directly. However, an odd problem is coming up: a diagonal line is drawn from bottom-left to upper-right when using pictex(). This does not happen using X11() or postscript() with the same series of commands. Any ideas why

Dear R People, I want to include a barplot corresponding to a simple discrete probability distribution in a LaTeX document. I decided to use the pictex driver. After a certain amount of messing about, I came up the stuff below. It does not look too bad, however, there is one very obvious piece of weirdness, ie. the y axis terminates at 0.1 and does not extend down further. I tried to adjust this

Hi, I am very new to R and trying to bring my plot of residuals to my LaTex document, and seems as I need some help. I first tried the example from the help file, e.g. pictex(file="model1.tex", width=5, height=4) plot(1:11,(-5:5)^2, type='b', main="Simple Example Plot") dev.off() this worked fine in LaTex when I did : \centerline{\input{Rplots.tex}} However, with

I read a dataset with times in them, e.g., "09:31:29.18761". I then parse them: > all$X.Time <- strptime(all$X.Time, format = "%H:%M:%OS6"); and get a vector of NAs (how do I check that except for a visual inspection?) then I do > options("digits.secs"=6); > all$X.Time <- strptime(all$X.Time, format = "%H:%M:%OS"); and it, apparently, works:
