I am doing a research on World Bank (WB) projects on developing countries. To do so, I am scraping their website in order to collect the data I am interested in. The structure of the webpage I want to scrape is the following: 1.

Hi, I am trying to create a googleVis motion chart with monthly data. When formatting the date column as a Date class variable, the plot as presented in the browser becomes considerably slower and very prone to crashing the browser. To illustrate this issue I have modified the WorldBank demo. ### objects from demo("WorldBank", package = "googleVis") M <-

Thanks, Martin. I am trying this in Bengaluru, India, using R-studio. I tried downloading a single variable. It happened fast, in less than 5 seconds. I tried downloading six variables, it took much longer, but less than a minute. Tried eight variables and it did not download even in five minutes. My internet speed is well above 40Mbps. This should not take that long. It seems the process timed

Dear R Users - R is a wonderful software package. CRAN provides a variety of tools to work on your data. But R is not apt to utilize all the public databases in an efficient manner. I observed the most tedious part with R is searching and downloading the data from public databases and putting it into the right format. I could not find a package on CRAN which offers exactly this fundamental

There is some problem getting data with the WDI package. It gets data from World Development Indicators and other databases of The World Bank. I let the code run for several minutes and nothing happens. Sometimes it gives a time out message. I ran the same code last year and it worked. Any idea what the problem is and how to fix it? > dat1EU = WDI(indicator = c('NY.ADJ.NNAT.GN.ZS',

In the browser the link downloads immediately, in less than a second. I let the command run in R for five minutes, using R Studio. Nothing happened.

Dear R experts, I am plotting the population of students who live in a city, and in successive circular bands made of the contiguous districts that surround the city. This is a stylized figure, where I specify the area of each successive circle based on the cumulative population of students. I want to compare two sets of concentric circles across different populations - such as 'All

1. First of all, source/include/includes.h file contains wrong refence to file popt.h. In supposed to be "popt/popt.h" instead of "popt.h". After this correction source compiles OK. 2.After the installation on new alpha19 (I used alpha17 before) swat stopped authenticating (I use same credentials for Samba 2.2.5 and samba 3 swat). 3.

Hi Konrad, Due to a 2.6.37-merge-window kernel now being able to boot under Xen i was able to test my xhci controller under dom0 which i previously couldn''t. The results: A) 2.6.37-merge-window kernel baremetal: Videograbbing while doing 20 iterations of make -j6 of kernel works. B) Xen + 2.6.37-merge-window kernel as Dom0: Videograbbing while doing 20 iterations of make -j6 of kernel

Thanks Brian. Indeed, the vignette is in markdown form. When I updated my system to R 3.1.3 I ran update.packages() and this seems to have upset things (including R-studio processing of markdown files). I tried removing rmarkdown and reverting to an older version so that my sessionInfo() is Loading required package: rmarkdown > sessionInfo() R version 3.1.3 (2015-03-09) Platform:

The failure is a bit odd. LLVM is ignoring $PWD because it doesn't have the same inode as '.'. This causes the test failure because DW_AT_comp_dir and $PWD differ. However, $PWD and '.' should be the same inode since $PWD is a symlink to the current directory and stat() looks through symlinks. > Since this latest board only has two cores, it will run slower and it will need

Hi all, I attached a driver for MiniBox openUPS device ( http://www.mini-box.com/OpenUPS) and a dump of the hid usages. I had the possibility to make a few adjustments to the device firmware for HID usages, and although I haven't managed to produce a good structure many issues from previous firmware were at least fixed and new information added. ATM the driver only shows pertaining

Hi everyone. There's been several threads on baseline hazard in Cox model but I think they were all on cumulative baseline hazard, for instance http://tolstoy.newcastle.edu.au/R/help/01a/0464.html http://tolstoy.newcastle.edu.au/R/help/01a/0436.html "basehaz" in package survival seems to do a cumulative hazard. extract from the basehaz function: sfit <- survfit(fit) H
