Hi WizaRds, I'd like to overplot UK fuel consumption per quarter over the course of five years. Sounds simple enough? Unless I'm missing something, the following seems very involved for what I'm trying to do. Any suggestions on simplifications? The way I did it is awkward mainly because of the first call to plot ... but isn't this necessary, especially to set limits for the

Dear All I would need to generate differences between variates such as nam1<-nam2-nam3 in the following loop: for(i in c("13","26","38")) { for (j in c("HR","PQ","QRS","QT")){ nam1<-paste("d",j,i,sep="") nam2<-paste(j,i,sep=".")

Dear colleagues, I had a question wrt the car package. How do I evaluate whether a simpler multivariate regression model is adequate? For instance, I do the following: ami <- read.table(file = "http://www.public.iastate.edu/~maitra/stat501/datasets/amitriptyline.dat", col.names=c("TCAD", "drug", "gender", "antidepressant","PR",

Dear list members, I can't figure out how get 'xyplot' or 'dotplot' in the 'lattice' package to respect the 'lwd' value for specifying the border with for *symbols* (for lines it works fine). Example: ----- # Base graphics works fine (gives a 'fat? circle) plot(5, cex=10, pch=21, lwd=10) # But 'xyplot' or 'dotplot' doesn't

Dear Folks-- Is there a data frame analog to sparse matrices? I am working with a panel data set that has a large number of variables that are redefined repeatedly or exist for only a few years (out of 48). In my current structure, where variables are columns and rows are years, more than 90 percent of the cells and more than 3/4 of the total size of my file are NAs. I am wondering if there is

I'm not sure if the following is a bug or a feature: > jjmat <- array(1:6, c(2,3), list(c('ABC', 'DEF'), c('xyz', 'tuv', 'qrs'))) > jjdf <- as.data.frame(jjmat) > jjmat['AB', ] Error: subscript out of bounds > jjdf['AB',] xyz tuv qrs ABC 1 3 5 > jjmat[, 'tu'] Error: subscript out of bounds

Hi all, all.equal is generally very useful when you want to find the differences between two objects. It breaks down however, when you have two long strings to compare: > all.equal(a, b) [1] "1 string mismatch" Does any one know of any good text diffing tools implemented in R?

What do you prefer/recommend for double-banger function names: 1 scale.colour 2 scale_colour 3 scaleColour 1 is more R-like, but conflicts with S3. 2 is a modern version of number 1, but not many packages use it. Number 3 is more java-like. (I like number 2 best) Any suggestions? Thanks, Hadley

Dear all, I've been struggling to perform common operations on dates that I need to be able to correct draw date-time scales - in particular I need to be able to round/truncate/ceiling dates to arbitrary precision - e.g. to weeks, months or years (or multiples thereof). I haven't been able to find anything to do this in base R (trunc.Date only truncates to sub-day units), or in the date

Hi all, Would someone mind pointing to me to the inspiration for the use of the L suffix to mean "integer"? This is obviously hard to google for, and the R language definition (https://cran.r-project.org/doc/manuals/r-release/R-lang.html#Constants) is silent. Hadley -- http://hadley.nz

Hi all, Is there a better to way to subset the ROWs (in the sense of NROW) of an vector, matrix, data frame or array than this? subset_ROW <- function(x, i) { nd <- length(dim(x)) if (nd <= 1L) { x[i] } else { dims <- rep(list(quote(expr = )), nd - 1L) do.call(`[`, c(list(quote(x), quote(i)), dims, list(drop = FALSE))) } } subset_ROW(1:10, 4:6) #> [1] 4 5 6

Could of requests: 1) Is there any example or writeup on the difficulties of extending reference classes across packages? Just so I can fully understand the issues. 2) In what sorts of situations does the performance of reference classes cause problems? Sure, it's an order of magnitude slower than constructing a simple environment, but those timings are in microseconds, so one would need a

Hi all, Is there any chance that readRDS and saveRDS might one day become read.rds and write.rds? That would make them more consistent with the other reading and writing functions.

Is it conceivable that Julia could be ported to use R syntax in a way that would allow the vastly larger numbers of R programmers to seamlessly switch? Or equivalently, could an iteration of R itself do this?
