Do I miss here something? dtaa = read.table("http://www.ats.ucla.edu/stat/mplus/examples/ma_snijders/mlbook1.dat", sep=",") head(dtaa) # shows the data as it should be save(dtaa,"dtaa",file="c:/dtaa") d = load("c:/dtaa") head(d) # all data is lost, it only shows [1] "dtaa" "dtaa" Thanks for your hint on this.

Hi All I was wondering how to get the same results with gls and lme. In my lme, the design matrix for the random effects is (should be) a identity matrix and therefore G should add up with R to produce the R matrix that gls would report (V=ZGZ'+R). Added complexity is that I have 3 levels, so I have R, G and say H (V=WHW'+ZGZ'+R). The lme is giving me the correct results, I am

I was reading the help but just did not get how to specify starting values for varIdent() of the lme() function, although I managed to do it for corSymm(). Do I specify the values just as they are printed out in an output, like c(1, 1.3473, 1.0195). Or do I need to take the residual and multiply it with these like c(0.2235, 0.2235*1.3473, 0.2235*1.0195) or any other form that I dont know of?

I get unexpected behavior from "readLines()" and "scan()" depending on how the file is opened with "gzfile" or "unz". More specifically: > file <- gzfile("file.gz") > readLines(file,1) [1] "a\tb\tc" > readLines(file,1) [1] "a\tb\tc" > close(file) It seems that the stream is rewound between calls to readLines.

I am having problems getting the unz() function to work as a connection to start reading a file... z <- unz("c:/temp/stoxx.zip", "close_tmi_components.txt", "r") readLines(z,2) yields the following problems: > z <- unz("c:/temp/stoxx.zip", "close_tmi_components.txt", "r") Error in unz("c:/temp/stoxx.zip",

Hi, I have downloaded a bunch of bz2 files. I wonder if R will be able to unzip them in a batch mode or even one at a time? I was looking at the unz function. But it didn't work well. Say I have a bz2 file in H:/Temp/65502805_532.pair.bz2. Anyone has any suggestion? thanks John > setwd("H:\\Temp\\") > getwd() [1] "H:/Temp" >

I would greatly appreciate some example of correct usage of function unz. I have to download and uncompress the following web compressef file: ftp://ftp.sanger.ac.uk/pub/mirbase/targets/v5/arch.v5.txt.homo_sapiens.zip I tried the following command that does not work: Targets.rec <- readLines(zz <- unz("ftp://ftp.sanger.ac.uk/pub/mirbase/targets/v5/arch.v5.txt.homo_sapiens.zip"))

Hello R-help! I just wanted to share a tip might help others of us stuck on R. The documentation for zip.file.extract is rather scant, and a few examples would. When using zip.file.extract, the first argument should be the full (or relative) path and the second the name of the zip file, it seems. While this is counterintuitive to me, that it should get the part from the first argument,

Dear List, Does somebody know how to get the filename lists in the ziped when "gzfile" or "unz" command is used ? Thanks for your help. Shawn Lee -- The information contained in this communication and any atta...{{dropped}}

Hi List I have a series of zip archives each containing several files. One of these files is called goCats.txt and I would like to read it into R from the archive. It's a simple tab delimited text file. pathToZip <- '/home/iain/Documents/Work/Results/bovineMacRNAData/deAnalysis/afInfection/commonNorm/twoHrs/af2hrs.zip' z <- unz(pathToZip, 'goCats.txt', 'r') zT

The partial R-square (or coefficient of partial determination, or squared partial correlation coefficients) measures the marginal contribution of one explanatory variable when all others are already included in multiple linear regression model. The following link has very clear explanations on partial and semi-partial correlation: http://www.psy.jhu.edu/~ashelton/courses/stats315/week2.pdf In

Hi Sorry, I am clearly missing something here. I want to read this file directly: ftp://ftp.sanger.ac.uk/pub/mirbase/targets/v5/arch.v5.txt.gallus_gallus. zip I tried using read.table(gzfile("ftp://ftp.sanger.ac.uk/pub/mirbase/targets/v5/arch.v5 .txt.gallus_gallus.zip")) But I got an error: Error in open.connection(file, "r") : cannot open the connection In addition:

I had trouble with some tests for the survival suite last night that I cannot explain. Framework: Ubuntu Linux, R2.11. For testing survival I have a separate directory and Makefile. I pull everything into the local .RData, no packages, library, or namespace. (It's easier to add test modifications to a routine in a chain of calls). A test of survreg + psline would fail because

Hello, is there a way to pass a connection to a file in a zipped archive as argument (instead of a file name of unzipped file) to shell command "cut". In general, is it possible to pipe output of a R function to a shell command? How? I want to do something like: z = unz("zipArchive.zip", "fileASCII.ASC") # open connection open(z) # cut lines of the ASCII file in

Not sure this is a bug in R. Maybe its a bug in my understanding of unz(). The character 'b2' (hexadecimal) is in position 535 of line 1 of 'naughty.csv'. This character appears as superscript '2' and came to me in an EXCEL file that I converted to text in a comma separated ( *.csv ) format. The first line gets truncated by readLines after 534 characters using unz():

Hi! I'm trying to read individual files from a ZIP archive, using the unz() function. Some of the files contain non-ASCII characters and I'd like to avoid unpacking them in a temporary directory. My problem is that unz() seems to ignore the encoding="latin1" option I need to read the non-ASCII characters properly. I can't find a clear indication in the documentation that

I received several answer to my querry re reading zipped files, R.Gentleman, Liaw Andy, BD Ripley,J Holtman, A.Matt, and others, sorry if I missed your names. a- use pipe to run external unzip to a file and read from there b- use gzfile() to open directly a gzipped file c- use zip.file.extract() solution b works like a charm, unfortunately it open gzipped files and not zipped files, would it be

Dear alltogether, I want to use CGIwithR in conjunction with R2HTML. A small example called 'test.R': ##### #! /usr/bin/R invisible(capture.output(library(R2HTML))) HTML(summary(as.numeric(scanText(formData$numbers))), file=stdout()) ##### The script gets its input via 'CGIwithR.cgi' and contains the variable "numbers."

Hi, I'm trying to add a Windows NT/2000 OKI C5100 print driver to a Samba 2.2.3a server. I've been told that this driver does some server-side stuff, so I'll have to use 'adddriver' in rpcclient. I've read the manual page for rpcclient, and I printed out a 'Windows 2000 Printer Test Page' to get all the relevant information. This is probably just something
