Hi all, I have two questions 1 - I have the version 1.4.1 of R, and it doesn't have the 'agrep' function in the base library. Is there a way to make this funcion avaliable in R 1.4.1? I mean, how to 'copy' it from R 1.8.1 and 'paste' it in R 1.4.1? 2 - The AGREP function doesn't give me the Levenshtein distance (edit distance). Is there a function in R that does

The documentation for agrep says it uses the Levenshtein edit distance, but it seems to get this wrong in certain cases when there is a combination of deletions and substitutions. For example: > agrep("abcd", "abcxyz", max.distance=1) [1] 1 That should've been a no-match. The edit distance between those strings is 3 (1 substitution, 2 deletions), but agrep matches

Estimados R-users: Estoy intentando usar la función 'agrep' para hacer búsquedas en cadenas de texto. El parámetro max.distance permite controlar la medida de aproximación de búsqueda de la función de Levenshtein. No obstante, cuando hago búsquedas específicas no obtengo siempre el resultado deseado y no se si es un bug o que no entiendo bien el algoritmo de búsqueda. Por

I posted this yesterday to r-help and Ben Bolker suggested reposting it here...

Hello everybody,   I wonder if there is any swap function in R that does the following: x <- seq(1,10,12) x1 <- swap(x) x1 1 8 3 4 5 6 7 2 10 Thank you very much!   Amor __________________________________________________ Schutz gegen Massenmails. [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Dear R magic guys.. I have two tables (actually will be dataframes), both with names to be matched. The names on the first dataframe are from a study with antenatal visits on some health centers here. It happens that we need the delivery info. And half and some thing else of the women decided to delivery some where else our health units. We managed to get the names from some other places but now

Hi, is there a function in R to convert data read with read.shape and which is originally in UTM coordinates into longitude / latitude coordinates? I found the convUL() function from the PBSmapping package but I have no idea how I could apply that to the read.shape object. Many thanks, Werner __________________________________________________ Do sragenden Schutz gegen Massenmails.

Hello, It's just a strange coincidence that someone posted just very recently a question about matching. I know there are several match function in the base package (such as match, pmatch, charmatch, and the gsub etc) but I can't seem to use them wisely to be able to get what I need. suppose I have the following strings: "tets" "estt" "rtes7"

Hi, I am a new user of R using R 2.8.1 in windows 2003. I have a csv file with single column which contain the 30,000 students names. There were typo errors while entering this student names. The actual list of names is < 1000. However we dont have that list for keyword search. I am interested in grouping/cluster these names as those which are similar letter to letter. Are there any

Hi, probably just a quick question: can I somehow change the formula used with predict? E.g., the regression was run on "y ~ u + v + w" but for the prediction the term v should be removed from the formula contained in the regression object and only "y ~ u + w" be used. I could use model.matrix etc. to do the predictions but it would be very helpful to know a simpler way.

Hi, I would like to see how model.matrix expands factor column to a set of dummy columns. I think that is done int .Internal(model.matrix(t, data)) which is called from model.matrix.default. But I have not idea how I can look at this function. How can I get to such internal functions? Thanks so much! Werner ____________________________________________ einen herausragenden Schutz gegen

Dears, could anyone give me some advice how to change some plotting parameters for a lattice graph? I need to adjust the following: -reduce outer margins (like par(mar=c(0,0,0,0)) with base graphs) -modify positions of labels (like par(mpg=c(0,0,0)) with base graphs) I already did some research, but got confused by the huge amount of settings with the lattice objects. I know that the road

I have a column of words, for example "DOG" "DOOG" "GOD" "GOOD" "DOOR" ... and I am interested in creating a matrix that contains the string edit distances between each pair of words. I am this close -> ' ' <- to writing the algorithm myself (which will allow for different variations on the string edit rules, indels,

Hi, I am not very familiar with complex ANOVA, so, I am not sure about the formula to use with aov() in this particular case. Could someone help me? Here is my data. I have an unbalanced plan with 4 factors: "Site", "Sex", "Age" and "Individual". "Site" is a 5-level fixed factor; "Sex" is of course a 2-levels fixed factor, as is

Hello everyone, I am not sure if this should go on the general R mailing list (for example, if there is a text mining solution that might work here) or the bioconductor mailing list (since I wasn't able to find a solution to my question on searching their lists) - so this time I tried both, and in the future I'll know better (in case it should go to only one of the two). The task

Dear R developers, I have encountered strange behaviour of fitdistr for gamma in recent R build i.e. 2.2.0. I have attached the code for data at the end of this mail so you can reproduce the problem. In short, I am able to run fitdistr under 2.1.0 without problems, while I get the following error under 2.2.0 (Version 2.2.0 Patched (2005-11-15 r36348)) > fitdistr(otm, "gamma") Error

Hello dear R-helpers, I'm working with R-2.15.2 on Windows 7 OS. I'm stucked with a merge of two data frames by characters. In each data frame I got two different list of names, that is my main-key to be merged. To figure out what I'm saying, I build up a modified "?merge" example, with errors by purpose: # Data for authors: authors <- data.frame( surname =

Hi, I am very happy. My problems are solved without one little thing: (Iske <- matrix(c(1, 1, 1, 2, 2, 2, 1, 1, 1, 5, 1, 2, 2, 2, 1, 1, 1, 4, 4, 4, 4, 3, 3, 3, 3, 3, 3, 3, 3, 3, 3, 3, 5, 4, 4, 4, 4, 4, 4, 2, 2, 2, 2, 4, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 1, 2), ncol = 5)) #My Matrix Iske<- Iske+33 #I want see the letters (Iske.char<-apply(Iske, 1, function(x) rawToChar(as.raw(x)))) #Numbers to

Just something to be added: - This procedure doesn''t work with a Fedora 9 DomU - Maybe you have to blacklist some modules in the Dom0: AFAIK you have to rmmod (better: blacklist on boot using modprobe.conf) these modules: serial_core 8250 and 8250_pnp ----- Ursprüngliche Mail ---- Von: Federico Fanton <fake@panizzolo.it> An: xen-users@lists.xensource.com Gesendet: Freitag, den

hey is it possible, that you didn''t assign any drive letters to the second harddrive? please check -> system config -> administration -> computer -> drive manager (i hope the names are correct, i only have a german win2k3). there you can assign drive letters to partitions... hope it helped ----- Ursprüngliche Mail ---- Von: Shanmuga Rajan
