Hi, Sorry if this may be a simple question. Is there any function to calculate returns (percentage or non-percentage) directly like the function getReturns() in S Finmetrics? Thanks.

Dear R-users, How do I obtain a sequence of dates consisting of only weekdays without the weekends in R? In S, I can do the following: timeSeq(from="12/17/2007", to="8/25/2008", by="weekdays") I tried using looking at timeSequence (fSeries package) and seq.Date (base package) but I do not know if I can specify "weekdays" rather than "day".

Hi, I'm trying to use read.fwf temp = read.fwf ("Raw data.txt", widths = c (11, 21, 10, rep (16, 6)) ,skip = 2, n = 2, stringsAsFactors = FALSE, strip.white = TRUE) but no matter what I do the strings are turned into factors. I believe it's the "n=2" parameter that causes the problem as it seems to work without this. Am I missing something? Thanks in advance,

I have done a cluster analysis doing: 1-clusNorth <-hclust(dist(Artorious)^2, method="ward") 2-clusNorth$labels <-Artorious$Name ## to show the case names and not numbers 3-dend1 <- as.dendrogram(clusNorth) 4-plot(dend1) My Dendrogram is now showing the names of my cases in the dataframe on the x axis 1 OMNICELL INC COM 2 GETTY IMAGES INC

Hi, Using the Rconsole file I can specify the size and location of the Rgui windows on NT. e.g. # Dimensions (in characters) of the console. rows = 51 columns = 100 How can I specify the size of the help windows that popups when I ask for help? e.g. '?help' I would like the popup window to have say rows = 51 and columns = 100, just like the main window but a different location on the

Hi I'm having a problem using the zoo library and I can't see what I'm doing wrong. For example setting up the data > t1 = zoo (matrix (1:12, nrow = 3), order.by = as.Date (c("2008-08-01","2008-08-02","2008-08-03"))) > colnames (t1) = c ("A", "B", "C", "D") > t2 = zoo (matrix (1:12, nrow = 3), order.by =

Dear readers, There is a combination of keys that I have (on several occasions now) typed by accident into R (2.10.0) which removes all the objects in the environment, and clears the console, as though I had typed rm(list=ls()). Unfortunately I don't know what the combination of keys are, so I am struggling to find out more about this behaviour on my own and I was hoping that someone has

I am attempting to utilize BackupPC on a Fedora 14 server to backup a remote client. As I understand, it's primary mechanism for finding clients is performing a nmblookup <clientname> This works fine for computers connected to the local network. My issue is extending ?Samba's? search to encompass our other network - the point-to-point VPNs Using OpenVPN, we have a number of road

We are looking for a flatrate long distance provider to integrte with a hosted Asterisk implementation. I would like to have a SIP/IAX handoff to whatever carrier. We want the ability to turn LD to any of our subscribers for a flat rate as well. This request is for USA only. Int'l would be a per minute basis. Any sugggestions are greatly appreciated.

Dear r-users, Does anyone know how to draw time-dependent survival curves? Example: Event outcome: CHD Time-dependent covariate: NSAID use, which changes over time for each subject I'm interested in survival curves stratified by NSAID use. I'd like to implement Simon & Makuch (1984) method. Is there a R package/function to draw this graph?

I was using R 1.5.1 today with an old script from S-Plus and discovered that R does not have reorder.factor. It's a very simple function, but very handy for re-arranging factors in lattice graphics (among other places). Would it make sense to add this function to the base code in order to increase compatability with S-Plus and add additional functionality? reorder.factor <-

Is there an easy way to "sink" text output to a pdf file using the pdf() device? Here's an email that describes setting up empty graphics plots and then using the "text" command to put text on page: http://www.r-project.org/nocvs/mail/r-help/2002/5598.html I'm just looking for something a little more polished -- automatic page breaks, line wrapping, etc. Kevin

Gabor As someone trying to the rest of my team using Subversion (which I have used for a while, but more as a backup / record of changes), have you a neat / automated way of building a package from a subversion repository?

Hi, I want to call R from within Java, using jri as per http://www.rosuda.org/software/jri/ So I am following the instructions in the README file for JRI 0.2-4. I have run 'sh configure.win' and 'make' and they seemed to be successful. (See below for the output from make, for example.) But when I try 'run.bat rtest' (with and without R command line arguments) the output

Dear all, I've been delighted to just notice that Cohen's formulas for Effect Size 'w' and the associated power have been implemented in the 'pwr' package (thanks to St?phane Champely and others).. There is one aspect, though, that perplexes me. I'm doing some last minute post hoc analyses, meaning that my sample size (N=3404) has been long fixed, and I'm
