Re: [R] Problem in reading Excel spreadsheets
Hi Ivan, Thanks for your advice.

My finding is RODBC can't handle complicate .xls file nor .xlsx file (maybe odbcConnectExcel2007 can work on .xlsx. I haven't tried), with multiple headers, merged cells etc. My goal is to import data of .xls/xlsx file on R console, run R commands and export the result back to spreadsheet. RExcel and R and Calc can do the job. RExcel, 32bit, runs on Windows. R and Calc, 32/64bit, runs on both Windows and Linux. I have all of them running on VMs of this virtual machine. I'm now moving there. Sorry I haven't tried the packages/applications suggested. R is new to me. I started venturing R on about early last month. I knew R for sometimes before.

Hi, Stephen:
What operating system do you have? From the path you cite, I
assume you are using some version of Windows.
Wikipedia on perl says there are two primary version of perl
for Windows Strawberry perl, which is free, open source, and
ActivePerl, which is free but not open source. I've been using
Strawberry perl without any apparent problems due to the version. When
I removed ~Rtools/perl from my path, it still had Strawberry perl, and
'installXLSXsupport()' worked with my installation of Strawberry perl,
when it had not worked with ~Rtools/perl. You can download Strawberry
perl from http://strawberryperl.com;. However,
RSiteSearch('strawberry perl') produced 0 matches, while
RSiteSearch(ActivePerl) returned 2 matches and RSiteSearch(Active
Perl) found 10 matches.
After downloading and installing one of these, if
'installXLSXsupport()' still does not work, you need to check the path:
If 'installXLSXsupport()' does not work with Strawberry perl as the
first perl in your path, then you may need to install an appropriate
package from CPAN. More than that, I cannot answer. However, if you
download and install one of these two versions of perl and still have
the problem, please report what you've done and they symptoms you get to
this list. Also, please include sessionInfo() with your reply.
Hope this helps.

Re: [R] How to save a data set as .txt on fly?
Hi, He is telling you that it is not surprising that 'aaa' does not exist, if the object you saved was called DNase No, such a file. Just rechecked it with Win7 search command. (Win7 has been rebooted) Again - you need to use the name of the object which happens to be 'DNase' - not 'dnase', 'dnase.txt' or 'aaa' Thanks. I have this idea at the beginning. A further thought changed my mind. On R console DNase displays the content of the data set. If I save the file in the same name. It may confuse me on running DNase whether the output is the content of the data set OR from the file created. Other advice noted. Thanks B.R.

If your problem was as a regular user, then run the above code as
regular user not admin.
Not sure what 'the above files' are that you are looking for; the 'named

Re: [R] Problem on running update
Hi Martin,
Sorry I can't fix the update problem. Reading ?browser and ?recover didn't

Finally I uninstalled R, 32/64 bit and RExcel and made a fresh installation of
them.
Remark:
I need to remove all folders with connection to them. Otherwise after
installing R, RExcel, rcom, statconnDCOM, R-commander, etc. I still encountered
the same problem.
After reinstalling above packages ran R as admin,

What Windows Explorer does that is incredibly stupid is that (by default) it hides file extensions for known file types. Generally .RData will be registered as a known file type. Exporer will cut off the .RData part the name of a file with that extension, and only show the first part of the name. Since the file .RData has no starting part of a name, it will be listed with a blank name. What you should do (and what Microsoft should set the default to) is to turn off this bad policy of listing filenames incorrectly.

Re: [R] About 5.1 Arrays
Hi Joshua, .You can think of a 3d array kind of like a journal (I don't know if this is helpful, but I kind of like the analogy so...). Each page holds a two dimensional table, so I could tell you to look at row 4, column 3 on page 16. Nevertheless, at any given point, it is just a flat page. A good example. It can be regarded as a book with multiple pages. Each page holds a table of 2 dimensions. No, it is correct. You cannot assume that you may use the same indices to access an array when you have created it with different dimensions. Consider: array(1:24, dim = c(3, 4, 2))[1, 2, 1] [1] 4 array(1:24, dim = c(1, 2, 1))[1, 2, 1] [1] 2 I understand now, e.g. array(1:24, dim = c(3, 4, 2))[2,3,2] [1] 20 Not array(1:24, dim = c(2, 3, 2))[2,3,2] [1] 12 Lot of thanks for your advice and effort.

Re: [R] About 5.1 Arrays
Hi Richard,
## for an array with
## dim(a) == c(3,4,2)
## a[i,j,k] means select the element in position
##i + (j-1)*3 + (k-1)*3*4
My understanding;
e.g.
1)
dim(a) == c(3,4,2)
3 + (4-1)*3 + (2-1)*3*4
3+9+12=24
2)
## dim(a) == c(1,2,1)
1 + (2-1)*3 + (1-1)*3*4
1+3+0=4
3)
## dim(a) == c(2,3,1)
2 + (3-1)*3 + (1-1)*3*4
2+6+0=8
etc.
It is NOT always the product of i*j*k as I thought before. Thanks for your
explanation.
What are the value of 3 and 4? The values of position and dimension?
e.g.
a - sample(24)
a
[1] 22 18 17 10 24 1 11 13 9 19 20 8 2 21 23 16 7 14 12 15 4 5 3 6
dim(a) - c(3,4,2)
a
, , 1
[,1] [,2] [,3] [,4] -- positions 1, 2, 3, 4 of the second dimension ?
[1,] 22 10 11 19
[2,] 18 24 13 20
[3,] 17198
^ the first dimension ?
, , 2
[,1] [,2] [,3] [,4]
[1,]2 16 125
[2,] 217 153
[3,] 23 1446
? If I'm wrong pls correct me. TIA

Re: [R] About 5.1 Arrays
Hi Daniel, I am correcting you. :-) You are using dim() incorrectly, and not accessing the array correctly. In all of your examples you should be using dim(3,4,2). Then you need to specify the indexes of the array element you want to look at. So, to use your example Thanks for your correction. So the index to be used in my example should be (3,4,2) only. But still I'm not very clear re your advice on follows a-1:24 a3d - array(a, dim = c(3,4,2)) a3d , , 1 [,1] [,2] [,3] [,4] [1,]147 10 [2,]258 11 [3,]369 12 , , 2 [,1] [,2] [,3] [,4] [1,] 13 16 19 22 [2,] 14 17 20 23 [3,] 15 18 21 24 # 1 maps to a[1, 1, 1] in the 3d array a3d[1, 1, 1] [1] 1 # 2 maps to a[2, 1, 1]. a3d[2, 1, 1] [1] 2 # 3 maps to a[3, 1, 1] a3d[3, 1, 1] [1] 3 # 4 maps to a[1, 2, 1] a3d[1, 2, 1] [1] 4 What does it mean; [1] 1 [1] 2 [1] 3 [1] 4 as mentioned ?

For example if the dimension vector for an array, say a, is c(3,4,2) then there are 3 * 4 * 2 = 24 entries in a and the data vector holds them in the order a[1,1,1], a[2,1,1], ..., a[2,4,2], a[3,4,2]. I don't understand on =24 entries in a and the data vector holds them in the order a[1,1,1], a[2,1,1], ..., a[2,4,2], a[3,4,2]. the order a[1,1,1], a[2,1,1], ..., a[2,4,2], a[3,4,2]? What does it mean the order a[1,1,1], a[2,1,1], ..., a[2,4,2], a[3,4,2]? Thanks B.R. Stephen Stephen, Start with a vector of length = 12. The vector, v, is stored in consecutive locations in memory, one after the other. And v - 1:12 v [1] 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 Now change then change the dimension of v to c(3,4), i.e. a matrix with 3 rows and 4 columns. dim(v) - c(3,4) v [,1] [,2] [,3] [,4] [1,]147 10 [2,]258 11 [3,]369 12 The values of v are still stored in memory in consecutive locations. But now you refer to the first location as v[1,1], the second as v[2,1], third as v[3,1] ... and the 12th as v[3,4]. We sometimes talk about the values going into v[1,1] or more generally, v[i,j], but the values aren't going anywhere. They are still stored in consecutive locations. We are just changing how they are referred to when we change the dimensions. So in the 2-dimensional matrix above, the values of the vector v go into the matrix in column order, i.e. the first column is filled first, then the second, ... Now, create a 24 element vector. v - 1:24 v [1] 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 Change the dimensions to a 3-dimensional array. dim(v) - c(3,4,2) v , , 1 [,1] [,2] [,3] [,4] [1,]147 10 [2,]258 11 [3,]369 12 , , 2 [,1] [,2] [,3] [,4] [1,] 13 16 19 22 [2,] 14 17 20 23 [3,] 15 18 21 24 You can visualize a 3-dimensional array as a series of 2-dimensional arrays stacked on top of each other. But this is just a convenient image. The items are still stored consecutively in memory. Notice that layer one in the stack was filled first, and the first layer was filled just like the previous 2-dimensional example. But the items are still physically stored linearly, in consecutive locations in memory.

Hi folks,

An Introduction to R
2.4 Logical vectors
http://cran.r-project.org/doc/manuals/R-intro.html#R-and-statistics
1)
x
[1] 1 2 3 4 5
a vector, x, is defined with 5 elements, {1, 2, 3, 4, 5}
temp - x != 1
perform the logical test that x does not equal 1 returning either TRUE or FALSE.
1 = 1 so TRUE, 2 != 1 so FALSE, etc. next we assign *the results* of
the logical test to the vector 'temp'
temp
[1] FALSE TRUE TRUE TRUE TRUE
print the vector to screen
2)
x
[1] 1 2 3 4 5
note that x has not changed here, we assigned to temp, not to x.
temp - x 1
now we assign the results of the logical test, x 1
{1 = 1 so FALSE, 2 1 so TRUE, 3 1 so TRUE, 4 1 so TRUE, 5 1 so TRUE}
we assign these results to a vector, 'temp'. This *new* assignment
overwrites the old vector 'temp'
temp
[1] FALSE TRUE TRUE TRUE TRUE
print temp to screen, this is the results of our second logical test (x 1).
Why NOT
temp
[1] TRUE FALSE FALSE FALSE FALSE
My best guess of where you got confused is that we assigned the
results to 'temp', so 'x' remained unchanged {1, 2, 3, 4, 5}, or that
you confused '-' which is the assignment operator in R, to less than
negative... *OR* less than or equal. We could write this
equivalently:
1:5 1
[1] FALSE TRUE TRUE TRUE TRUE
this was the logical test, whose results were assigned to the vector, temp.
assign(x = temp, value = 1:5 1)
using the assign function (not often recommended) to avoid any
confusion with the assignment operator, -.
temp
[1] FALSE TRUE TRUE TRUE TRUE
