Hi all, I have a large data.frame, 1530 observation with 6 columns. I want to merge a 7th column, a transformation of the response variable (hospital admissions), namely trans<-sqrt(copd$admissions+0.25) trans<-data.frame(trans) And now when I do copd2<-merge(copd,trans) (copd being my original data.frame), R either crashes or is taking an extremely long time to do the computation. I

Dear all, I appologise for cluttering up the list with such a basic question, however I have been unable to find the answer I want (possibly through my poor usage of the R help system). As I am visually impaired and using assistive technology, I think I would prefer to use R from the terminal mode, i.e. by running rterm.exe found in the bin directory. I have managed to set my working

Dear all, I am having difficulties using the seemingly-simple function lag. I have a dataframe with several weather variables (maxitemp, windspeed, rainfall etc), and the response variable (admissions). The dataset is fairly large (1530 observations). I simply want to model the response against a lag of a couple of the explanatory variables, say maxitemp and rainfall. I would like to look at

Hi all, Thanks for the help with my previous post. I have just two more questions for the minute. I think I said in a previous post that I like to use the terminal, i.e. run rterm.exe. On exiting the terminal, I am asked if I want to save the workspace. If I hit y (yes), the workspace is just saved as .rdata in my working directory, does anyone know how I can name it directly from the

Hi all, I am very confused with class. I am looking at some weather data which I want to use as explanatory variables in an lm. R has treated these variables as factors (i.e. with different levels), whereas I want them treated as discretely measured continuous variables. So I need to reassign the class of these variables, right? Indeed, doing class(southwest$pressure) (pressure being air

Hi all, Again I have searched the net and so on, without finding an answer to this surely simple problem. A short bit of code would be appreciated. I have a object named `data' with the following column headings. Date, maxitemp, minitemp, admissions, d.o.w. Where d.o.w. is day of the week, written "Sun" "Mon" etc. I just need to scale the Monday admissions by

I'm trying to fit a Cox proportional hazards model to some hospital admission data. About 25% of the patients have had at least one admission, and of these, 40% have had two admissions within the 12 month period of the study. Each patients has had one of 4 treatments, and one of the treatment groups has had no admissions for the period. I used:

Hello, I have a general help question that some of you might be able able to help. I would like to design a study (a two group comparison) based on reduction on events(say hospital admissions). In a previous study hospital admission rate of 140 admissions per 72 patients (over a 4 month period) has been observed. That is rate is about 1.9. In order to see the admission rate reduction of 50% over

Hello, Firstly let me explain that the nature of what I want to do is actually beyond my statistical knowledge, having only taken a second year university stats course last year. Therefore I may have missed the statistical essence of what I want to do as well as my lack of ability to do it in R. I am trying to fit some hospital admissions data to a series of weather variables. Due to my lack of

Hi I am having the most basic of problems. I have setup a PDC with samba 2.2.2 and am trying to get my Win200) machine to join the domain.

Hi all, Is there an equivalent to the general * operator in R, where * can represent any character? I have a dataset, one column being date, date ranging between April-September, 97-06. I would like to be able to acquire the data for a specific month, say September, so that I can take average temperatures for the month, etc. I thought I would be able to do something like data.s1 <-

Hi, Appologies for the simple nature of this question, I am unable to find the answer in manuals (EG and introduciton to R). I have written a function in a text editor and saved it with an .R extension. It is saved in my working directory. How can I run it, do I need to use source? If so, how do I supply the arguments to the function? Or does it need to be saved in a particular directory?

Hi, Is there any quick and easy way to rename a number of objects, without having to rename each one individually and then remove the old one? And if so, is there anything I can do to adjust the associated comments accordingly?

Hi, I have eight vectors that I would like to orthogonalize preferably using R. The vectors are of considerable length, however due to their nature I know they satisfy the conditions needed to apply the Gram-Schmidt algorithm. Before I embark on some R coding, I wanted to check that there is no facility / function already around that computes the orthogonalized set of vectors? I have performed
