Hi All, I cannot upgrade r-base and r-recommended because the latest (latest as in it was not listed as 'upgradable' yesterday but today is) r-base-cose is 2.7.1-2hardy0 not hardy1: r-base: Depends: r-base-core (>=2.7.2-1hardy1) but 2.7.1-2hardy0 is to be installed Depends: r-recommended (=2.7.2-1hardy1) but 2.7.1-2hardy0 is to be installed r-base-core: r-recommended:

Hi All, I have some data I need to write as a file from R to use in a different program. My data comes as a numeric matrix of n rows and 2 colums, I need to transform each row as a two rows 1 col output, and separate the output of each row with a blanck line. Foe instance I need to go from this: V2 V3 27 2032567 19 28 2035482 19 126 2472826 19 132 2473320 19 136 2035480 135

Hi All, I would like to ask the following. I have an array of data in an objetct, let's say X. I need to use a for loop on the elements of one or more columns of X and I am having a debate with a colleague about the best memory management. I believe that if I do: col1 = X[,1] col2 = X[,2] ... colx = X[,x] and then for(i in whatever){ do something using col1[i], col2[i] ... colx[i] }

Hi All, just a quick (?) question while I wait my code runs... I'm comparing the identity of the lines of a dataframe, doing all possible pairwise comparisons. In doing so I use identical(), but that's by the way. I'm doing a (not so) quick and dirty check, and subsetting the data as data[row.numb,] and data[a different row,] I suspect the problem there is that I load into

Hi All, is there a way of predicting memory usage? I need to build an array of 86000 by 2500 numbers (or I might create a list of 2 by 2500 arrays 43000 long). How much memory should I expect to use/need? Cheers, Fede -- Federico C. F.

Hi All, I am trying to build a new R package to submit, but it's failing to create a tex manual: R CMD check Biodem * checking for working latex ...

Hi All, does anyone ever import old SPSS files in a sl3 format? read.spss('file.sl3') does not seem to work... it's not recognised as a supported SPSS format at all. Best, Fede -- Federico C. F.

Hi All, can I have a plot where the symbol for the dots is smaller than pch =20 but bigger than pch = '.'? Best, Fede -- Federico C. F.

Hi All, I have a list of matrices: > x [,1] [,2] [1,] 1 4 [2,] 2 5 [3,] 3 6 > y [,1] [,2] [,3] [,4] [,5] [,6] [1,] 18 21 24 27 30 33 [2,] 19 22 25 28 31 34 [3,] 20 23 26 29 32 35 > z =list(x,y) I want to create a second list that is has a subset each matrix in the list subsetting so I get the 2nd and 3rd row of each (and

Dear All, I saved by mistake the environment I was working in after typing q(), and now I get the annoying message: [Previously saved workspace restored] I have already deleted all the objects in the environment, saving it as an empty environment, so it's just a matter of nitpicking I suppose. The message does not appear if I start R from any other place in the directory tree. I am

Hi All, a colleague wants to calculate the Fisher information matrix for a model he wrote (not in R). He can easily get the neg-log-likelihood and the best fit parameters at the minimum. He can also get negLLs for other parameter values too. Given these data, is there a way in R to calculate the Fisher information matrix? Best, Federico -- Federico C. F.

HI All, I have a data frame such as: > test x y p d [1,] 1 0 10 21 0 [2,] 2 3 11 12 0 [3,] 3 4 12 23 0 [4,] 3 5 13 24 0 and I want to perfor some operations on the first two coulums, conditional on the uneqaulity values on the 3rd and 4th columns. For instance: j = 3 test[test[,1] == j, 5] = test[test[,1] == j,2] + test[test[,2] == j,1] gives me the result: test: x y p d

Hi You could try to find an equivalent representation as a string and try to match those. > (A <- cbind(sample(1:2, 10, rep=TRUE), sample(1:2, 10, rep=TRUE))) [,1] [,2] [1,] 1 2 [2,] 1 2 [3,] 1 2 [4,] 2 2 [5,] 1 1 [6,] 1 2 [7,] 1 2 [8,] 1 1 [9,] 1 2 [10,] 1 1 > (B <- unique(A)) [,1] [,2] [1,] 1 2

Hi All, I have the following problem: x = c(1,2) x [1] 1 2 as.matrix(x) [,1] [1,] 1 [2,] 2 BUT, if I add: y = c(3,4) as.matrix(rbind(x,y)) [,1] [,2] x 1 2 y 3 4 It does not transpose. Since I will need as.matrix() for a list of data that is in one or more lines, I need as.matrix to behave in a consisten fashions, so I get as.matrix(x, whatever) [,1] [,2] x 1

Hi All, I am using plot(x, type = 'l') for some plotting, but I would like rounded edges rather than jagged edges in the plot (purely for aestetic reasons). How could I achieve that?

Hi All, is there an equivalent of the Unix command 'less' (or 'more'), so I can look at what's inside a data.frame or a matrix without having it printed out on console?

Hi everyone, I am confused on how to specify some nesting and interaction terma with lme(). I have a dataset where some flies where selected for accessory gland size, made to mate in presence/absence of another male and the level of some protein measured. Now the complex stuff. The selection has been replicated twice, so that the selection term has got two levels (large and small) with

Hi All, is there any chance of vectorising the two ifelse() statements in the following code: for(i in gp){ new[i,1] = ifelse(srow[i]>0, new[srow[i],zippo[i]], sample(1:100, 1, prob =Y1, rep = T)) new[i,2] = ifelse(drow[i]>0, new[drow[i]>0,zappo[i]], sample(1:100, 1, prob =Y1, rep = T)) } Where I am forced to check if the value of drow and srow are >0 for each line... in

Hi All, I am (almost) successfully using apply() to apply a function recursively on a data matrix. The function is question is as.genotype() from the library 'genetics' apply(subset(chr1, names$breed == 'lab'),2,as.genotype,sep ="") Unfortuantely apply puts it's results into a matrix object rather than a data frame, tranforming my factors into numerics and

Hi All, is there a function in R that allows me to work with fractions without transforming them to floats (or whatever) in between? Something that would calculate something like: (1/2 + 1/8) * 1/2 = 5/16 without ever transforming to 0.5 and 0.125? Best, Federico -- Federico C. F.
