matching elements from two vectors
Hi, Imagine a vector x with elements (1,2,1,1,3,5,3,3,1) and a vector y with elements (2,3). I need to find out what elements of x match any of the elements of y. Is there a simple command that will return a vector with elements (F,T,F,F,T,F,T,T,F). Ideally, I would like a solution that works with dataframe colums as well. I have tried x==y and it doesn't work. x==any(y) doesn't work

change object name within for loop
Hi, I am writing a for loop that creates one object, say 'outn' on every round of the loop. I would like the name of each object to include the index of the loop as in, for example: out1, out2, out3, ... And I would like the naming of the object to take place automatically as the loop moves through? Similarly, I would like to be able to call different objects (in1, in2, in3,

regular expressions
Dear list, I have the following text to parse (originating from readLines as some lines have unequal size), st = c("START text1 1 text2 2.3", "whatever intermediate text", "START text1 23.4 text2 3.1415") from which I'd like to extract the lines starting with "START", and group the subsequent fields in a data.frame in this format: text1 text2

joining matrices, vectors, scalars in one object
Hi, I have: a <- matrix(c(0,1,0,1),nrow=2) b <- matrix(c(1,1,1,0,0,0),nrow=3) c <- 1 d <- c(1,0,1) And I would like to join them in an object 'thing' so that I can access a, b, c, or d through an index in a for loop. For example: thing[4] would return [1] 1 0 1 Note however, that I have many of these 'thing' components. So many that a command like thing

Accessing selected elements of a list
Hi, If I have a vector: junk <- c(2,0,0,3,0) and want to access, say, all the elements that are greater than zero. I just do: junk[which(junk>0)] Now, If I have a list: jlist <- list(NULL,c(1,0),NULL,c(1,2,3), NULL) and want to access all the elements that have length greater than zero, I know how to find the elements with: which(sapply(jlist,length)>0) But how do I get a

Density function: Area under density plot is not equal to 1. Why?
Hi, I have a vector 'data' of 58 probability values (bounded between 0 and 1) and want to draw a probability density function of these values. For this, I used the commands: data <- runif(58) a <- density(data, from=0, to=1) plot(a, type="l",lwd=3) But then, when I try to approximate the area under the plotted curve with the command: area <- sum(a$y)*(a$x[1]-a$y[2])

locating minimum value in matrix
Hi, I have a matrix BEE and want to find the row and column numbers of the minimum value in that matrix. The command which(BEE==min(BEE)) returns only one value which, I take, is the position of the minimum in a vector with as many elements as the matrix. Is there a quick and simple way of getting row and column numbers? Thanks, Gonçalo [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

OT: Script Help
Sorry for the off topic, but don't a better resource. I'm not great at scripting, but need a quick script to modify a file.

plotting labels (not values) on xy plot
I have 2 vectors, x and y and have done an xy plot. I want to plot the label (name?) of the vector on the plot rather than the value. text(x,y, labels = x) gives me the value of x. text(x,y, labels = labels(x)) gives me something like c("text1","text2"..) plotted for each point text(x,y, labels = names(x)) gives nothing print(x) gives me [,1] text1

Converting a matrix to a dataframe: how to prevent conversion to factor
Colleages I am running R 2.1.0 on a Mac (same problem occurs in Linux). In some situations, I have mixed text/numeric data that is stored as characters in a matrix. If I convert this matrix to a dataframe, the numeric data becomes factors, not what I intend. TEXT <- paste("Text", 1:4, sep="") NUMBERS <- 10 + 4:1 MATRIX <- cbind(TEXT,
