is there any way i can use R as a tool for scripts in unix, as wotan[hrue]$ cat example.R #!/usr/bin/R x=1 havard -- Havard Rue Department of Mathematical Sciences Norwegian University of Science and Technology N-7491 Trondheim, Norway Voice: +47-7359-3533 URL : http://www.math.ntnu.no/~hrue Fax : +47-7359-3524 Email: havard.rue at math.ntnu.no

I need to do a somewhat complex rearrangement of an existing dataframe that involves an "on-the-fly" conditional summary as well. I've tried to make the example as simple as possible. Code to produce the object being acted on is at the end of the message. I hope this isn't too much for a single posting. Any guidance will be much appreciated. The input example looks like

Any way to get access to the number of CPU's, optionally their type, from within R? In linux I can just read /proc/cpuinfo but for win/mac ? Thanks!

I've noticed that throughout the code there's quite a variety of formatting styles, especially the size of TAB characters (4 or 8) and size of indents (2 or 4). Is there any agreed standard for new code now? Oh, and whoever wrote the ogg code must get an electric shock every time he hits the spacebar. It's full of spaceless lines like

Just FYI, I've created a web page for the OS/2 binaries I've made at http://silk.apana.org.au/vorbis/ I've also included the full source I built from and a diff between that source & the current CVS. Of course I'm keen to see as much of that diff as possible committed to the repository, although you can ignore the DartLib & oggplay stuff. They should be superceded by

Dear Group, I am an economics student starting with PhD work in London. As preparation I would like to get to know R a little bit better. For Stata there are tons of books, however, can you recommend a book for R? I have some substantiated econometrics knowledge, so it should be more a how-to book. Best regards Thiemo --- Thiemo Fetzer, Economist http://freigeist.devmag.net

Hi, this seems like a strange question, but in R is there a function that can handle vectors containing factors inside lists/tuples? Or is there some other approach/functions I can use? Like for example V1 "{"Harry","Brown")" "{"Brown","Harry")" I want to use these variables in a machine learning setting, And don't want to convert

[Repost, maybe it will get noticed with a better subject] So now beta 4 is out is there any chance you guys will have time to review some of my patches? Here's a simple one. It just adds the standard integer typedefs for EMX GCC. I've flattened the structure using #elif's so it doesn't get a level deeper for every platform added but the result should be the same. I realise

Hi, I am currently looking for a program or programmng language easy to learn, easier to operate on.I heva heard about "R", However I understand that "R" is designed especially for statisticians. As an economist, working on applied econometrics, I am not sure if it can meet my needs. Will I be able to reach precise time series or panal data regression results with

Dear Sirs, I am an economist, and I have learned about R from an statician. I would like to get some instructions on which packages of R should I install. I am intending to use R for graphical analysis, correlaction, and also estimation - this latter the least, since I have an econometric package which performes it very well. I should also mention that I am going to work mostly with

Hi everyone, i?m trying to graphically display distributions with r and i?m working with makrodata from the WVS. the command i?m using is > plot (Makrodata$v11, Makrodata$v12, xlab="Democracy Score Economist", > ylab= share religious people") i?m having an additional variable that identifies respectively labels the

I am an economist who decided it's high time that I learned some Bayesian statistics. I am following An Introduction to Modern Bayesian Econometrics by T. Lancaster. The book recommends using BUGS, but I wonder if there are any alternatives which are free software and fully integrated to R (which I have been using for more than two years for numerical computations.) I would like to learn

Dear all, Say I have the following dataset: > DF x y z [1] 1 1 1 [2] 2 2 2 [3] 3 3 NA [4] 4 NA 4 [5] NA 5 5 And I want to omit all the rows which have NA, but only in columns X and Y, so that I get: x y z 1 1 1 2 2 2 3 3 NA If I use na.omit(DF), I would delete the row for which z=NA, obtaining thus x y z 1 1 1 2 2 2

Potentially nasty bug in current HEAD when printing the name of the file being played (the "Playing: filename.ogg" bit), any % symbols in the name appear to be printf parsed causing either junk to be printed or a crash or both. I noticed this when trying out http streaming as the url has %20's in it for spaces in the file name. Oh, and it still says it's rc2... --

I'm having the same kind of problem too. Links to other excel workbooks are really breaking badly. One of them so bad that if I highlight the file through a windows explorer view; it kills the window immediately. I'm using RH 7.2 and Samba 2.2.4 -1 Please let me know if someone has some suggestions .... So far I've tried: veto oplock files = /*.mdb/*.MDB/*.ldb/*.LDB/*.xls/*.XLS

Does anyone know how to read SPSS .por (ie Portable) files? The foreign package only deals with SPSS .sav files and not with those with a "por" extension.
