Folks, I'm checking the structure of a dataframe for duplicate parameters at a site station (i.e depth should be measured once, not twice), using aggregate to count each parameter within a site station. The fake data below has only 26000 rows, and takes roughly 14 seconds. My real data has 750000 rows and I had to stop execution after about an hour. The by() function is faster, but I

First, the reproducable example, showing how converting from character to POSIXct to character changes the milliseconds in the first time stamp though not in the second: > as.POSIXct('2010-06-03 9:03:58.324') [1] "2010-06-03 09:03:58.323 PDT" > as.POSIXct('2010-06-03 9:03:58.325') [1] "2010-06-03 09:03:58.325 PDT" This seems to be due to truncation of

Folks, Updating values in a table is simple in SAS or SQL, but I've wracked my brain looking for an elegant solution in R to no avail thus far. Certainly this is a common need that's been solved in dozens of different ways. Given an initial dataframe nn and a smaller dataframe of updates uu, I'd like to replace the values in nn <- expand.grid('a'=1:4, 'b'=1:3)

Folks, I've run into trouble while writing functions that I hope will create and modify a dataframe or two. To that end I've written a toy function that simply sets a couple of variables (well, tries but fails). Searching the archives, Thomas Lumley recently explained the <<- operator, showing that it was necessary for x and y to exist prior to the function call, but I haven't

I know R has a steep learning curve, but from where I stand the slope looks like a sheer cliff. I'm pawing through the available docs and have come across examples which come close to what I want but are proving difficult for me to modify for my use. Calculating simple group means is fairly straight forward: data(PlantGrowth) attach(PlantGrowth) stack(mean(unstack(PlantGrowth)))

Folks, An RUnit test suite is failing after all tests are complete with the following message: Error in parse(n = -1, file = file) : unexpected '}' at 620: 621: } All individual tests work when run individually, and all but one run within the RUnit test suite. What might be causing this? A similar error message during package creation was discussed earlier

Folks, In brief -- how many of you have found the 'operators' package to be valuable in their work? Not that I lack respect for the amount of work involved in creating and maintaining a package, but I am unsure about the utility of these new operators. Several of the operators appear to offer different ways of accomplishing tasks that are already relatively easy in base R -- regular

Folks, A small group of us are working together to develop a set of R functions to support data management and analysis using Eclipse/StatET in a Windows environment. We are using Git/EGit for version control. We work within our own repository and occasionally push to a common remote location. I'd like to have the code source files from the 'local' git repository without

Dear R-help list users, I have a huge vector of numbers, how I can invert orden? For example x <- 1:10000000 I would like to obtain x_r <- 10000000:1 Thanks, Sebastian.

Hi, I first should say I am new to R. I have searched without success the R-archives to see if I could find an answer to what I am about to ask you. My dataset is like: x fine 1 A 2010-12-09 07:57:33 2 B 2010-12-09 08:05:00 3 C 2010-12-08 20:42:00 ... that is: 'data.frame': 3 obs. of 2 variables: $ x : Factor w/ 3 levels "A","B","C":

HI everyone, I''m trying to assign colors to multiple lines in a graph. Problem is I don''t want to type in as many colors as there are lines....is there a way around this? In brief, I''m plotting the logratio for up to 60 samples and want a different color for each sample. Here is the code I''m using now.. Any help is greatly appreciated.. Best LT data <-

Hi R folks, I'd like to announce several new R users groups here in SF, LA, NYC, and Ottawa - as well as their next scheduled event. The goal of these user groups, besides gently explaining 'drop=TRUE' to the uninitiated, is to exchange knowledge, promote best practices, and spur the adoption of R for innovative applications. If I've missed any groups here, please feel to add on

OK, this should be trivial but I'm not finding it. I want to compress the test, if (i==7 | i==10 | i==30 | i==50) {} into something like if (i in c(7,10,30,50)) {} so I can build a "excludes" vector excludes <- c(7,10,30,50) and test if (i in excludes) {} However, I'm not finding a clue on how to accomplish this, if it can be done. Would someone with more R

By any chance is there an R command to compare two vectors?   For example, a_tmp<-c("a", "b", "c", "d", "e", "f", "g", 'h') b_tmp<-c("a", "c", "e", "g")   I would like to compare b_tmp against a_tmp to determine if the members of b_tmp are part of a_tmp.    I tried

Can anyone tell me why I would get different average nearest neighbor values for the same set of coordinates between ArcGIS 10 and R? Sometimes the difference in distance is over 1.3 km.

Hi, I have two columns with data (both identifiers - it's an affiliation list) and I would like to delete the rows in which the observations in the second column have a frequency < 5 in the entire second column. Example: 1 a 1 b 1 c 2 a 2 b 2 d Let's say, I would like to delete the rows in which the observation in the second column has a frequency < 2 in

Hello! s<-"start"; e<-"end" middle<-as.character(c(1,2,3)) I would like to get the following result: "start 123 end" or "start 1 2 3 end" or "start 1,2,3 end" How can I avoide this (undesired) result: paste(s,middle,e,sep=" ") Thank you! -- Dimitri Liakhovitski Ninah Consulting www.ninah.com

Dear all, my colleagues and I have to write some R code for some of our projects. I would like to ask you help to organize us a little. a. Do you know if there is any system that can convert our R scripts to html pages with some nice dependency graphs (which functions calls which). b. Could you please suggest me an easy way to exchange the R code with my colleagues. I know about these version

Hi, I have a question about %in% and subsettin data frames. Say I need to keep ID 1,2,4,5, 10 from the data frame dat. I can do: dat <- data.frame(ID = 1:10, var = 1:10) someID <- c(1,2,4,5,10) subset(dat, dat$ID %in% someID) Is there a quick way to do the opposite, ie to do a subset that contains all ID but someID? Something like %not in%, which would *remove* lines with ID in
