similar to: Counting observations split by a factor when there are NA s in the data

I am a very novice R user, a social scientist (linguist) who is trying to learn to use R after being very familiar with SPSS. Please be kind! My concern: I cannot figure out a way to get an accurate count of observations of one column of data split by a factor when there are NAs in the data. I know how to use commands like tapply and summaryBy to obtain other summary statistics I am interested

I'm just curious . . . if effect sizes are so important, and possibly a better way of looking at results than p-values, since they don't depend on effect size (Kline,2004; Murphy and Myors, 2004), why don't any of the classical tests, like t.test or glht specified for Tukey's posthocs, return effect sizes? I say "classical" because I'm sure there may be packages out

Hi, I used to get a really useful graph when I ran the following command using the MASS library: > cov.rob(cbind(dekeyser$AGE,dekeyser$GJTSCORE),cor=T) Besides the regular output, a graph appeared that had the classical correlation and the robust correlation, and two ellipses, one surrounding the data that would be used in the classical correlation and the other surrounding the data in the

I figured this out so I wanted to post a response to my own question. Thanks to Brian Ripley for his hint, which got me looking in the right direction. The plot I had seen before that I wanted was automatic output to the cor.plot command in the mvoutlier library. A similar tolerance ellipse can be obtained from the covPlot command in the robustbase library, using which="tolEllipsePlot"

I don?t know if this question properly belongs on this list, but I?ll ask it here because I?ve been using R to run linear regression models, and it is only in using R (after switching from using SPSS) that I have discovered the process of fitting a linear model. However, after reading Crowley (2002), Fox (2002), Verzani (2004), Dalgaard (2002) and of course searching the R-help archives I cannot

Dear Soren and R users: I am trying to use the summaryBy function with weights. Is this possible? An example that illustrates what I am trying to do follows: library(doBy) ## make up some data response = rnorm(100) group = c(rep(1,20), rep(2,20), rep(3,20), rep(4,20), rep(5,20)) weights = runif(100, 0, 1) mydata = data.frame(response,group,weights) ## run summaryBy without weights:

Hello Everyone- I'm calculating summary statistics on a dataset (~4000 records, observations are not uniformly distributed) using summaryBy and trying to add a column with the number of observations to the output as well. What occurs to me is to use nrow(), but this doesn't appear to be working I'm able to replicate the same results with an example from the summaryBy docs:

I'm trying to use a self-written function with the summaryBy function (doBy package). I have lots of data from Monte Carlo experiments comparing different estimators across different (combinations of) parameter values, similar to the following form: colnames(mydata) <- c("X", "b0", "b1", # parameter combination, corresponding (true) parameter values

Hi Folks, I'm trying to cut my data inside the summaryBy function. Perhaps formulas don't work that way? I'd like to avoid adding another column if possible, but if I have to, I have to. Any ideas? Thanks, Allie require(doBy) df = dataframe(a <- rnorm(100), b <-rnorm(100)) summaryBy(a ~ cut(b,c(-100,-1,1,100)), data=df) # preferred solution, but it throws an

The R script below gives values of 1 for all minimum values when I use a custom function in summaryBy. I get the correct values when I use FUN=min directly. Any help is much appreciated. The continuous information provided in this forum is fabulous as are the different R packages available. Rene # Simulated simplified data Subj <- rep(1:4, each=6) Analyte <-

For what it is worth, here are my experiences. When I first got my zaurus I compiled R version 1.4.0 for the it. It took some time to do, but managed with the skiffclusters at familiar.org. (libf2c was the hardest part). Compilation should be easier now that there are onboard compilers but I haven't tried. I thought this would be neat to have in the classroom. (It did get one student to buy

Dear John, Actually, I was using gWidgetsRGtk2. The solution you suggest works fine. Thank you very much. Best regards. Olivier -- ____________________________________ Olivier G.

Dear users, I'm trying to learn how to use the "...". I have written a function (simplified here) that uses doBy::summaryBy(): # 'dat' is a data.frame from which the aggregation is computed # 'vec_cat' is a integer vector defining which columns of the data.frame should be use on the right side of the formula # 'stat_fun' is the function that will be run to

Hello all, I've put together a quick and dirty menubar + dialogs + spreadsheet GUI for R using the RGtk package. Performance is not great (OOP is a real memory hog?), the design may be worse, but the hope is that it will be useful in an introductory stats course while we await the arrival of a real gui with ObveRsive and SciViews. The package can be found at

Hi, since I have quite large tables and the processing takes quite a while I am curious if I can improve the performance of this aggregation somehow: At the moment I am using summaryBy from the doBy package under R 2.4.0, Win2K. summaryBy(soc_s6aq5 + soc_s6aq7 + soc_s6aq9 + soc_s6aq11 ~ hh + comgroup,soc6a,postfix=c("","","",""),FUN=sum, na.rm=T) The

Hi, first I want to thank all of you for the quick aid which is provided here on the list during all times. Thanks a lot for that! Then, I have a problem using summaryBy which most probably is a problem of wrong use by me or the like: I use this command: summaryBy(total+total.inf~gr, aE, FUN=sum) where aE is a > str(aE) 'data.frame': 127880 obs. of 16 variables: $ gr

Hello, I am trying to make a package for windows using my linux installation of R. I tried to make the package by first using R CMD build (under linux) to create a tar.gz package. Then I uncompressed and rearchived as a zip package. After installing this under windows, the data files work fine, but the R files aren't seen under windows. Is there some easy way to create a working zip package
