similar to: tapply within a data.frame: a simpler alternative?

Dear list, I'm trying to use the reshape package to perform a merging operation on a list of data.frames as illustrated below, > a <- 1:10 > example <- list( data.frame(a=a, b=sin(a)), data.frame(a=a, > b=cos(a)) ) > > melt(example, id = a) this produces the desired result, where the data.frames have been coerced into one with a common identifier variable

Dear list, This is a bit of an off-topic question, but I'm hoping to get some advice from more experienced people. I've used the website "Web of Science" to manually collect publication counts responding to several keywords as a function of date, since the 1960s. http://apps.isiknowledge.com/RAMore.do?product=UA&search_mode=&SID=P1g9lFJp9 at

Hi, I wanted to generate a plot which is almost like the plot generated by the following codes. category <- paste("Geographical Category", 1:10) grp1 <- rnorm(10, mean=10, sd=10) grp2 <- rnorm(10, mean=20, sd=10) grp3 <- rnorm(10, mean=15, sd=10) grp4 <- rnorm(10, mean=12, sd=10) mydat <- data.frame(category,grp1,grp2,grp3,grp4) dat.m <- melt(mydat) p <-

Dear R helpers, I'm trying to write a numerical scheme for a boundary integral method to solve an electromagnetic problem. This requires the computation of the distance between points at the surface of an object (a sphere, in my example). Here is my code, > require(rgl) > r<-1 > size<-10 > theta<-seq(0,2*pi,length=size*2) > phi<-seq(0,pi,length=size) > pc

I have a data frame containing monthly observations of the 'density' of each US state, recorded in variables named "density.AL", "density.AK", "density.AZ", and so on for all 50 states. The data frame (called d) also contains a variable called "Date" which is encoded as a string in the format "Jan-09", "Feb-09", etc. I also have

Dear all, I'm puzzled by the following example inspired by a recent question on R-help, cc <- textConnection("user_id website time 20 google 0930 21 yahoo 0935 20 facebook 1000 25 facebook 1015 61 google 0940") d <- read.table(cc, head=T) ; close(cc) table(d$user_id) # count the

Dear all, Trying to extract a few rows for each element of a list of data.frames, I'm puzzled by the following behaviour, > d <- lapply(1:4, function(i) data.frame(x=rnorm(5), y=rnorm(5))) > str(d) > > lapply(d, "[", i= c(1)) # fine, this extracts the first columns > lapply(d, "[", j= c(1, 3)) # doesn't do nothing ?! > > library(plyr)

Dear all, Trying to extract a few rows for each element of a list of data.frames, I'm puzzled by the following behaviour, > d <- lapply(1:4, function(i) data.frame(x=rnorm(5), y=rnorm(5))) > str(d) > > lapply(d, "[", i= c(1)) # fine, this extracts the first columns > lapply(d, "[", j= c(1, 3)) # doesn't do nothing ?! > > library(plyr)

Dear all, I'm routinely using lattice and ggplot2, I wish to create a lattice theme that looks not too dissimilar to ggplot's defaults so I can include both graphs in a document with a consistent look. To illustrate my questions, consider the following example: > library(ggplot2) > library(lattice) > > # example data > x <- seq(0, 10, len = 100) > y1 <-

Hello I need to plot 3 graphs in a single column; the top two plots have the same title, and I would like it to be written only once, centered horizontally and spanning the two plots. Something like t +------------+ | | i | | | | t +------------+ l +------------+ | | e | | | | 1 +------------+ t

Dear list, I have the following example, from which I am hoping to retrieve numeric values of the factor levels (that is, without the brackets): > > x <- seq(1, 15, length=100) > y <- sin(x) > > my.cuts <- cut(which(abs(y) < 1e-1), 3) > levels(my.cuts) hist() does not suit me for this, as it does not necessarily respect the number of breaks. getAnywhere

Hi, how can I get a more descriptive text instead of the variable names in my XY-lattice plot, according to the table below? Variable text acet = "Acetylaspartate Thalamus" chol = "Choline Thalamus" acetp = "Acetylaspartate parieoc" ino = "Inositole Thalamus" I could not find a solution. Please have a look at my syntax. Thanks a lot,

Hi, I wonder whether there is a way to generate a polygon (a triangle in my case) with color gradient using grid.polygon() in package grid? I tried something like library(grid) grid.polygon(x=c(0, 0.5, 1), y=c(0.5, 1, 0.5), gp=gpar(col=NA, fill=colorRampPalette(c("green", "lightgray"), space="Lab")(200))) But am only

Hello all, I am trying write a fairly simple function that provide a quick way to calculate several distributions for a data set. I am trying to provide a function that has a argument that specifies which distribution is outputted (here "norm" or "cumu"). I also have a melt argument but that seems to be working fine. I have been able to get my function working well for just

Dear all, I'm writing a code that requires Bessel functions with complex argument. Searching the list, I found the continuation of a thread I initiated a few months ago: http://tolstoy.newcastle.edu.au/R/e4/devel/08/03/0746.html As I understand, the most promising option would be to use the fortran or C implementation of Amos,

Hi evrybody, in a matrix consisting of 49 columns, I would like to plot all columns against the first in 48 different graphs. Can you help me?

Dear R-help, I am creating a two lattice plots (a densityplot() and xyplot()) that have the same x-axes and then 'printing' them onto the same page, one above the other (see end of email for an example to generate the graph). With different labels on the y-axis for each plot the left spacing is different, and the x-axes don't align vertically. Although I can manually modify the

Hi, I need to draw a line segment between two points on different plots in the same multigraph.I've tried looking at the zoominplot function in plotrix but havent understood much.any help is appreciated ~Aks [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Dear list, I'm having second thoughts after solving a very trivial problem: I want to extend the relevel() function to reorder an arbitrary number of levels of a factor in one go. I could not find a trivial way of using the code obtained by getS3method("relevel","factor"). Instead, I thought of solving the problem in a recursive manner (possibly after reading

Dear Sir I want to write the numbers 1,2,3,----on a scatter plot instead of points, like 1 corresponding to first point on plot, 2 corresponding second point etc. Help in this regard.
