similar to: Error: bad value

Hi, I'm finding a very strange error. For no good reason my R console (Rgui.exe, R 2.5.0, under win XP) stops producing anything meaningful, and just returns: Error: bad value to _whatever_ I enter. It starts doing this after a while, not immediately when launched. I have to restart R when this happens. No idea why. I didn't change anything in the R config that I remenber. Any

Dear Achim, R Users, What am I doing wrong in this example ? a<-zoo(rnorm(100),order.by=1:100) b<-lag(a) regr<-na.exclude(merge(a,b)) plot(regr) grangertest(regr[,1],regr[,2],3) > a<-zoo(rnorm(100),order.by=1:100) > b<-lag(a) > regr<-na.exclude(merge(a,b)) > plot(regr) > grangertest(regr[,1],regr[,2],3) Error in solve(vc[ovar, ovar]) : subscript out of bounds

Hi All, If you use vim to edit R code, you may be interested in this. I have put together a personalized syntax file, some code templates, and a way to send code from Vim to R using autoHotKeys (windows). http://www.andrew.cmu.edu/user/jquesada/RvimSuite/instructions.html Actually, the little autoHotKeys can be useful even if you don't use vim just to send the example R code from the help

Dear R Users, The granger.test command in the MSBVAR package estimates all possible bivariate Granger causality tests for m variables. If one passes a data frame with 3 rows, it returns 6 granger tests in two rows, one for the F-statistic and another for the p-value. For example: > a<-rnorm(1:10) > b<-c(lag(a),rnorm(1)) > c<-c(lag(b),rnorm(1)) >

Hi, I need to multiply all columns in a matrix so something like apply(x,2,sum), but using multiplication should do. I have tried apply(x,2,"*") I know this must be trivial, but I get: Error in FUN(newX[, i], ...) : invalid unary operator The help for apply states that unary operators must be quoted. I tried single quotes too, with the same results. Thanks, -Jose -- Jose

Hi All, I recently found gmane http://gmane.org/ It's a system to covert mail to news and back, with the nice property of keeping a searchable archive... Very convenient if you are subscribed to many lists and don't want to have your mail box cluttered. I use it to read several mailing lists already, but R is not available there. I wonder if the admins know about gmane and if they

Hi, Has anyone run any R vs Python (numpy) tests? I'd love to see what the differences performance-wise are, specially handling large sparse matrices. Since both rely on external C code, there might not be much of a difference. If you know and use both languages, what are the main differences and what made you stick to one over another? I also noticed that there are strong libraries

Hi, I got the following error. Sorry but this time I couldn't reproduce it with a simple chunk of code: .TM.repl.i.2col(): drop 'matrix' case ... Error in .nextMethod(x = x, i = i, j = j) : 'i' has no integer column number should never happen; please report In addition: Warning messages: 1: Ambiguous method selection for "%*%", target

Hi, I'm finding that readMM() cannot read a file written with writeMM(). Example: library(Matrix) a = Matrix(c(1,0,3,0,0,5), 10, 10) a = as(a, "CsparseMatrix") writeMM(a, "kk.mm") b = readMM("kk.mm") Error in validObject(.Object) : invalid class "dgTMatrix" object: all row indices must be between 0 and nrow-1 Thoughts?

Hi, I'm attending summer School at UCLA (IPAM) on "probabilistics models of cognition". I have been an R-user since v. 1.4.1, but was trained in the frequentist tradition (as most psychologists!). I found that all faculty here use matlab and Murphy's bayes net toolbox. I have not had the need to use matlab before, and would love to stick to R for graphics models and

I have a pretty large sparse matrix of integers: > dim(tasa) [1] 91650 37651 I need to add one to it in order to take logs, but I'm getting the following error: > tasa = log(tasa + 1) CHOLMOD error: problem too large Error in asMethod(object) : Cholmod error `problem too large' I have 2 Gb of RAM, and the current workspace is barely 300mb. Is there any workaround to this?

(Extremely sorry, disregard previous email as I hit send before pasting the latest version of the example; this one is smaller too) Dear R users, I want to apply a function that takes two vectors as input to all pairs (combinations (nrow(X), 2))of matrix rows in a matrix. I know that ideally, one should avoid loops in R, but after reading the docs for do.call, apply, etc, I still don't know

Dear R users, I need to normalize a bunch of row vectors. At a certain point I need to divide a matrix by a vector of norms. I find that the behavior of Matrix objects differs from normal matrix objects. Example the following code examples differ only in xnormed changing from normal to Matrix object: x = matrix(1:12,3,4) x = as(x, "CsparseMatrix") xnorms = sqrt(colSums(x^2))

Dear R Users, A recent update on base packages on my R installation has introduced a problem to my code which did not exist before the update. The offending function is rbind, which fails where it was working just fine before the update. I have two zoo objects, foo and bar, indexed by class Date. foo starts from "2007-10-09" and bar from "2007-10-10". I attempt to pad

Dear R users, I want to apply a function that takes two vectors as input to all pairs (combinations (nrow(X), 2))of matrix rows in a matrix. I know that ideally, one should avoid loops in R, but after reading the docs for do.call, apply, etc, I still don't know how to write the nested loop in a vectorized way. Example data: x = matrix(rnorm(1000), 100, 100) zeros = runif(90) x[] # this is

Hi, I'd like to simply add column-wise using Matrix objects (Csparse). It looks like one can apply mosty any base function to these objects (i.e., apply, colSums), but there is a nasty conversion to traditional matrix objects if one does that. Is there any workaround? I can see colSum listed in the help for Class 'CsparseMatrix' , but I wonder whether I'm using the default

Hi, I'm running this for a simulation study, so many combinations of parameter produce many predictions that I need to correlate with data. The problem ---------------- I'm using rating data with 3 to 5 categories (e.g., too low, correct, too high). The underlying continuous scales should be normal, so I chose the polychoric correlation. I'm using library(polychor) in its

Dear R Users, I am on Windows XP SP2 platform, using R version 2.7.2 . I was wondering if there is a way to find out, within R, the number of CPU's on my machine ? I would use this information to set the number of nodes in a cluster, depending on the machine. Sys.info() and .Platform do not carry this information. Thanks in advance, Tolga Uzuner Generally, this communication is for
