Hi all, I have a large data.frame, 1530 observation with 6 columns. I want to merge a 7th column, a transformation of the response variable (hospital admissions), namely trans<-sqrt(copd$admissions+0.25) trans<-data.frame(trans) And now when I do copd2<-merge(copd,trans) (copd being my original data.frame), R either crashes or is taking an extremely long time to do the computation. I

Hi, I was wondering whether there was an easy way to change the attributes of all elements in a data.frame (rather than looping through elements)? Specifically, I would like to set the "dim" attributes to NULL Thanks for any help, Jarrod -- The University of Edinburgh is a charitable body, registered in Scotland, with registration number SC005336.

Dear R experts, Suppose I have a data frame of three variables: > foo <- data.frame(row=1:5, col=1:3, val=rnorm(15)) > foo row col val 1 1 1 -1.00631642 2 2 2 0.77715344 3 3 3 0.17358793 4 4 1 -1.67226988 5 5 2 1.08218836 6 1 3 1.32961329 7 2 1 -0.51186267 8 3 2 -1.20990127 9 4 3 -0.57786899 10 5 1 0.67102887 11 1 2

Dear R-helpers I would like to do a fit of the form: y = a (x+c)**b, where a, b and c are unknown. Does anybody know how to do it? Thanks Thomas

Greetings helpRs -- I would like to use plot() to plot two cumulative distribution curves so that a user of the plot can compare the distributions of the two variables. The following code draws two distributions separately, but I cannot find the instruction necessary to add a second cumulative distribution to the first one. Any suggestion would be very welcome. x1 <-

All, I think this is pretty basic but I couldn't find the answer in any source. I have just built my own R for Linux (amd 64). It runs well, but R thinks that it only has 80 characters or so of screen width. I log on with Putty to the box and can stretch it as large as I want. Is there a simple way to tell R to use more screen width when displaying? From whatami: OS RELEASE :

Hi, How can I overlap two density plots? A <- c(8,10,10,11,11,11,12,12,12,12,11,11,11,10,10,7) B <- c(11,13,13,14,14,14,15,15,15,15,14,14,14,13,13,10) plot(density(A)) plot(density(B)) Regards, Emre P.S.

Hi list, I have a question on how to identify the overlapped items from two vectors: >x<-c(0,1,2) >y<-c(1,2,2,3) and plot the number of the overlapped as well as non-overlapped in a diagram? Thanks much, Allen [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Dear R Community, A simple problem (for some of you): I wish to index a data.frame by all elements NOT in my index E.g.: > a<-as.data.frame(matrix(rnorm(100),nrow=10,ncol=10)) > b<-which(a$V1>0.8) > b [1] 1 4 6 10 > a_indexb<-a[b,] > a_notIndexB<-a[!b,] > nrow(a_notIndexB) [1] 0 Indexing a on b is not a problem (a_indexb), but how can do get only the

Hi all, I have a data management question. I am using an panel dataset read into R as a dataframe, call it "ex". The variables in "ex" are: id year x id: a character string which identifies the unit year: identifies the time period x: the variable of interest (which might contain NAs). Here is an example: > id <- rep(c("A","B","C"),2)

For example, strings <- c("aaaa", "bbbb","ccba"). How to get "aaaa", "bbbb" that do not contain "ba" ? _________________________________________________________________ [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Hi everyone I am trying to add a percent sign to my labels in a hist() plot. "labels = TRUE" gives me the values, but I don't know how to add the percent sign. I would prefer to annote the plot after drawing it, e.g. using text(), but don't know how to address the positions in a standard histogram. A lattice approach would work too.

Hello, I have a dataset that has counts, but I need to expand the dataset so that each of the counts has its own line in the dataset (row) and is given and id. It looks something like: Site Type Cnt 1 "A" 3 1 "B" 0 2 "C" 2 I want the dataset to look like: Site Type ID 1 "A" 1 1 "A" 2 1 "A" 3 1 "B" 0 2 "C" 1 2

Is there a good and concise way of making simultaneous plots that are identical, but directed to different devices? I'm writing an R-script that produces a pdf file. I would really like to check visually whether the pdf file shows what I expect. So I would like the same commands to produce a plot on screen. At the moment I'm using cut-and-paste, which is not ideal because any corrections

Dear all, I was trying to rotate a plot using R. I tried most of the examples offered here in this forum, but for some reason it is not working for a Scatterplot or in my case: plot (x,y). With a histogram I had no problems. Is it not possible to rotate a simple plot? Thanks a lot, Michael [[alternative HTML version deleted]]
