similar to: calcualtign a trailing 12 column mean in a dataframe?

Greetings, I am attempting to run a function, which produces a vector and requires two input variables, across two nested factor levels. I can do this using by(X, list(factor1, factor2), function), however I haven't found a simple way to extract the list output into an organized vector form. I can do this using nested loops but it isn't exactly an optimal approach. Thank you

Hi, I am trying to aggregate the sum of my test data.frame as follow: testDF <- data.frame(v1 = c("a", "a", "a", "a", "a", "b", "b", "b", "b", "b", "c", "c", "c", "c", "c", "d", "d", "d", "d",

Fellow R programmers, I'd like to submit SQLDF statements with R objects as column names. For example, I want to assign "X" to "var1" (var1<-"X") and then refer to "var1" in the SQLDF statement. SQLDF needs to understand that when I reference "var1", it should look for "X" in the dataframe. This is necessary because my SQLDF

Hello - I would like to create a wrapper to the 'save' function in the base package, but have a small problem with the name of the object that is getting saved in the file. Below is a simple example illustrating my problem. ## BEGIN SAMPLE R CODE ################################################## ## Here is the wrapper for the save function

Dear R-help - Thanks to those who replied yesterday (Christos H. and Thomas L.) regarding my question on coxph and model formula, the answers worked perfectly. My new question involves the following. I want to run several coxph models (package survival) with the same dataset, but different subsets of that dataset. I have found a way to do this, described below in functions subwrap1 and

Hello (and Happy New Year), When I create a factor with labels in the order I want, write the data as a text file, and then retrieve them, the factor levels are no longer in the proper order. Here is what I do (I tried many variations): # educ is a numeric vector with 1,001 observations. # There is one NA # Use educ to create a factor feducord <- factor(educ, labels = c('Elem',

Dear R-helpers: May I ask a question related to storing a number of lmer model fit into a list. Basically, I have a for-loop (see towards the bottom of this email) in the loop, I am very sure that the i-th model fit (i.e.,fit_i) is successfully generated and the character string (i.e., tmp_i) is created correctly. The problem stems from the following line in the for-loop #trouble making line

Dear all, I'm analysing a survey, and creating a barchart of the different responses for each question. The questions are grouped according to a number of categories, so I'm using lattice to create a plot with each question in a category on it. The problem is that the response set for different questions within the same category varies. I want to be able to draw only the relevant

Dear list, I am sorry for asking you this, but I am trying to do again what I thought I have done before, although this time it does not work. So, given the data set: > testdf <- data.frame(grfak=sample(c("One","Two"),size=100,replace=TRUE), panfak= sample(c("Yes","No"),size=100,replace=TRUE), xfak=

Hi R users I trying to some aggregate statistics on a very large dataset. The null values are causing a problem. I would like to calculate aggregate values for groups. I am just no sure how to deal with the "" I would ideally like them to ignored ie if there is only 1 value over several columns than that value would be the summary statistic. I have put the following example together to

Dear list, Please find below an example of odd behaviour of the by function. It occurs both under GNU/Linux R 2.6.2 and Windows R 2.7.0alpha. Respective sessionInfo()'s are given below. I hope I do not overlook anything. testFactor <- factor(sample(LETTERS[1:6], size = 42, replace = TRUE)) testMatrix <- matrix(rnorm(42 * 6), nrow = 42) testDf <- as.data.frame(testMatrix) by(data

Hi All- This seems like such a pathetic problem to be posting about, but I have no idea why this testcase does not work. I have tried this using R 2.4.1, 2.4.0, 2.3.0, and 2.0.0 on several different computers (Mac OS 10.4.8, Windows XP, Linux). Below the signature, you will find my test case R code. My point in this folly is to take a dataframe of 300,000 rows, create a filter based on two

hi netters, I'm a newbie to R and there are some very simple problems puzzeled me for two days. I've a dataframe here with several columns different in modes. Two of the columns are special for me: column 1 has the mode "factor" and column 2 has the mode "numeric vectors". The values for column 1 are either "T" or "F". I wanna do two things:

I would like to do some operations inside a function using only one value for the last dimension of a table/matrix: tabfn <- function (dfrm, facvec, YN ="event"){ return( Etbl <- do.call(table, dfrm[ , c(facvec, "event") ]) ) # just want Etbl[,,,"TRUE"] or Etbl[,, "TRUE"] or Etbl[,"TRUE"] }

R users, I am trying to find some way to find the value of a column that is repeated the most for each StandID of a dataframe. I have research methods online and the help page, but have had no success in finding a solution. I have tried using the table function but it returns items for the whole dataset and not by the StandID. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks in advance. R version 2.11.1

Hi everyone, is there a way/package in R that would allow me to select a group of points from a scatterplot by drawing a circle around them or some such? I can use 'identify' to pick individual points, but that gets tedious if one has more than 10-20 spots. I can easily select spots within a rectangle defined by picking points using identify... but a simple rectangle sometimes will

I originally built my Asterisk server without installing the Zaptel package as it was going to be a purely SIP based system. However when I went to setup conferencing using meetme I found out that app_meetme is dependant on the ztdummy for timing. I have now installed the zaptel package and I believe the ztdummy module is loading ok [root@astro asterisk-1.4.0-beta2]# lsmod Module
