similar to: Viewing a data object

Dear list, I know it must be obvious and I did my homework. (In fact I've RSiteSearched with keyword "remove AND library" but got timed out.(why?)....) How do I unload a library? I don't mean getting ride of it permanently but just to unload it for the time being. A related problem : I have some libraries loaded at startup in .First() which I have in .Rprofile. Now, I exited R

Dear list, I know this is really basic question but I just couldn't get anything to work. (I did a R site search with keywords "zoo" and "data frame" but the server timed out on me.) I have a time series which has the following (typical) format, DATE Open High Low Close Volume 01-JAN-2006 5.25 5.25

Hi folks, Is there a function to show the size of an R object? eg. in Kbytes? Couple months ago Bendix Carstensen posted this marvelous little function lls(), which shows all objects in the current workspace by mode, class and 'size'. This is a wonderful enhancement to the build-in ls() already and I now have it sourced in my Rprofile.site at startup. The only drawback is,

Hi list, I'm sure the explanation must be laughably simple to the experts out there, but I just could figure it out. I have a simple data frame that looks like, >head(da.off) DDate OffP 1 2005-01-01 41.23 2 2005-01-02 44.86 3 2005-01-03 44.86 4 2005-01-04 43.01 5 2005-01-05 45.47 6 2005-01-06 48.62 where the first column DDate currently is character, and OffP is numeric. I want

Hi all, I have two questions. Can some one give some help? The first question is regarding the pair of operators "&" and "&&". What is the difference between the two? The second question is regarding "<-" and "=". Usually we use "<-" as the assignment operator. I saw some people use "=". Is there any

I expect that there's something glaringly obvious that I'm overlooking, as I'm justr getting back involved in using R after a several-month hiatus (from R). So I welcome clues. When I invoke plot(), merely specifying a data.frame with 2 columns, specify the plot type ("type") of "p" ("points"), and that I want the point to be green ('col =

Following the official instructions to install R on ubuntu 10.04, I issued this command on the prompt, sudo apt-get install r-base Here is the error msg, Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable distribution that

Hi, I cannot seem to find out how to pass in a value to a partial. Can anyone help me? What I am doing(in the code below) is calling a function in my controller called setobject. This function just redraws the partial. I want to be able to change the value @objectname, redraw my partial and have it be able to use that value. The first the page is drawn it works, but when i call setobject it

Hi list, I'm trying to turn a date into something productive. (Not what you may be thinking....) I want three functions so I could take a "date" object and get the day of week, month, and year from it. xx <- as.Date("2006-01-05") month(xx) equal 1 day(xx) equal 5 year(xx) equal 2006 I'm aware of the weekdays() and months() functions in the base package. But

Folks, i thought it should be straightforward but after a few hours poking around, I decided it's best to post my question on this list. I have a data frame consisting of a (large) number of date columns, which are read in from a csv file as character string. I want to convert them to Date type. Following is an example, where the first column is of integer type, while the rest are type

Hi folks, This is really minor but to someone not familiar with the various tentacles of the lmer package it could be really annoying. I was trying to plot the posterior density of the fixed effect parameters of a lmer model, > hr.mcmc = mcmcsamp(hr.lmer, n=50000) > densityplot(hr.mcmc, plot.points=F) There is this error, "Error in densityplot(hr.mcmc, plot.points = F) : no

I have built rsync on IA64 using Intel's 'icc' compiler and can run the rsync executable interactively but when attempting to run under 'crontab' I get the following error: + /home/horace/mccssmb2/src/rsync-2.6.9/rsync -z --partial -v --progress --recursive --stats --times --links --exclude-from=/project/horace/mcc101/.rsync-EXCLUDE --timeout=1200 /project/horace/mcc101

I am still struggling to map a character string to an object name and vice versa in R. I thought the as.name() function might work, but observe the following behaviour ... > attach(warpbreaks) > levels(tension) [1] "L" "M" "H" > levels(as.name("tension")) NULL > objectname<-as.name("tension") > objectname tension >

Is there anyway I can convert a vectors objectname to a string to be used in fx: Monkey<-c(0,0,0,1,1,1) Wax<-c(1,0,1,0,1,0) f<-function(x,y){ table(x,y) } f(Monkey,Wax) so that the printout is not y x 0 1 0 1 2 1 2 1 but Wax Monkey 0 1 0 1 2 1 2 1 -- View this message in context:

Context: I'm relatively new to R and am working with very large datasets. General problem: If working on a dataset requires that I produce more than two objects of roughly the size of the dataset, R quickly uses up its available memory and slows to a virtual halt. My tentative solution: To save and remove objects as they're created, and load them when I need them. To do this I'm

First I have a matrix called stocks1: > class(stocks1) [1] "matrix" Here are the first 5 rows of the last 4 columns: > stocks1[1:5,2:5] [,1] [,2] [,3] [,4] [1,] 80.73 31.95 25.4 25.69 [2,] 83.66 31.95 27.12 25.2 [3,] 83.27 32.93 28.74 26.29 [4,] 83.9 34.07 29.77 26.6 [5,] 82.74 35.18 30.24 27.41 Now, why can't I convert this into a dataframe?

Folks, The projection pursuit regression function in the base R seems to crash when the optimization level is set to zero, i.e. the initial ridge terms are accepted without refitting. I encountered this problem in an out-of-sample prediction exercise using predict. But further investigation suggests the issue is with the ppr fit and predict just sppeds up the crash. The other optlevels seem to be

Folks, I've entered into an R programming territory I'm not very familiar with, thus this probably very elementary question concerning the mechanic of a function call. I want to know from within a function the name of the variables I pass down. The function makes use of the "..." to allow for multiple unknown arguments, myfun = function(...) { do something } In the body I

Folks, I wonder if anything could be said about the distribution of a random variate x, where x = N(0,1)/N(0,1) Obviously x is pathological because it could be 0/0. If we exclude this point, so the set is {x/(0/0)}, does x have a well defined distribution? or does it exist a distribution that approximates x. (The case could be generalized of course to N(mu1, sigma1)/N(mu2, sigma2) and one
