Re: [R] Opening package manual from within R

Simple question but searching rseek did not yield the results I wanted.

Question:  Is there a way to open a help manual for a package from within R.

For instance I would like to type a function in r for the tm package 
and R would open that PDF as seen here: 
http://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/tm/tm.pdf


-The vignette function exists for vignettes 
[vignette(package.name)] so I assume the same exists for manuals.


You assume wrong.  Vignettes PDFs are installed as part of the package 
(and often take minutes to regenerate): the PDF version of the help 
pages (what you seem to call 'the package manual') is not (in 
general).  In many cases what other people (including the author, e.g. 
me for RODBC) call the 'package manual' is a PDF in the doc directory 
(which may or may not be a vignette).


The assumption is that people will use search facilities or the hints 
given by the help titles in help(package=tm) or browse the HTML 
version of the same information (e.g. via help.start).


But you can (provided you have pdflatex etc in your path) generate the 
PDF version of the help pages by


R CMD Rd2pdf /path/to/installed/package

It will even open it in a browser for you (unless you use 
--no-preview).  You could easily encapsulate this in a function by 
e.g.


showPDFmanual - function(package, lib.loc=NULL)
{
path - find.package(package, lib.loc)
system(paste(shQuote(file.path(R.home(bin), R)),
 CMD, Rd2pdf,
 shQuote(path)))
}

Alternatively *for packages on CRAN only* you can access the version 
on CRAN by browseURL.



-I do not want library(help=package.name) as this is not detailed enough.

I am running R 2.14.0 beta on a windows 7 machine
Reproducible code does not seem appropriate in this case.


But accurate 'at a minimum' information (and no HTML) does.  There is 
no such version as '2.14.0 beta', and will not be for a couple of 
months.  If you are running a beta version of R it is old, so please 
update to a released or patched version.   (Also, any version 
calling itself '2.14.0 Under development' is old and needs updating: 
the current R-devel displays no version number.)

[R] Efficient way to Calculate the squared distances for a set of vectors to a fixed vector

2011-08-24 Thread Wei Wu
I am pretty new to R. So this may be an easy question for most of you.
 
I would like to calculate the squared distances of a large set (let's say 
2) of vectors (let's say dimension of 5) to a fixed vector.
 
Say I have a data frame MY_VECTORS with 2 rows and 5 columns, and one 5x1 
vector y. I would like to efficiently calculate the squared distances between 
each of the 2 vectors in MY_VECTORS and y.
 
The squared distance between two vectors x and y can be calculated:
distance - crossprod(x-y)
 
Without looping, what is the efficient code to achieve this?
 
Thanks.

Re: [R] Error message: object of type 'closure' is not subsettable

2011-08-24 Thread Newbie
I think I have found my problem, but I dont know how to correct it. I have
found an old post saying that it might be a problem if the starting values
are evaluated at Inf (see link here
http://r.789695.n4.nabble.com/Help-about-nlminb-function-td3089048.html)

But how can I run nlminb without the starting values being evaluated at
Inf.? 
What I more specifically want to do, is to set C and D equal to 0 for the
starting values, but to have it evaluated for Inf for the rest (C and D
equal to what the function says). Does anyone have a suggestion on how to do
this? Is the solution to do loops instead of vectorisation? Please help me
Thanks in advance!

Re: [R] Efficient way to Calculate the squared distances for a set of vectors to a fixed vector

2011-08-24 Thread Daniel Malter
Let's say your fixed vector is x, and y is the list of vectors that you want
to create the squared distance to x with, then:

x-c(1:5)
y-list()
y[[1]]-sample(c(1:5),5)
y[[2]]-sample(c(1:5),5)
y[[3]]-sample(c(1:5),5)
y

distances-lapply(y,function(a,b) crossprod(a-b), b=x) 

#lapply goes over the list elements of y and executes the function for each
of these list elements
#the current list element of y is plugged in for a and x is plugged in
for b and the crossproduct is formed

distances-unlist(distances)

HTH,
Daniel

[R] Autocorrelation using library(tseries)

2011-08-24 Thread Vincy Pyne
Dear R list

I am trying to understand the auto-correlation concept. Auto-correlation is the 
self-correlation of random variable X with a certain time lag of say t.

The article 
http://www.mit.tut.fi/MIT-3010/luentokalvot/lk10-11/MDA_lecture16_11.pdf; 
(Page no. 9 and 10) gives the methodology as under. 

Suppose you have a time series observations as say

X = c(44,41,46,49,49,50,40,44,49,41) 

# For autocorrelation with time lag of 1 we define 

A = c(41,46,49,49,50,40,44,49,41)  # first element of X not considered
B = c(44,41,46,49,49,50,40,44,49) # Last element of X not considered

 cor(A,B)
[1] -0.02581234

However, if I try the acf command using library tseries I get

acf(X, 1)

Autocorrelations of series ‘X’, by
 lag

     0      1 
 1.000 -0.019 

So by usual correlation command (where same random variable X is converted into 
two series with a time lag of 1), I obtain auto-correlation as -0.02581234 and 
by acf command I get auto-correlation = -0.019 (for time lag of 1).

I am not able to figure out where I am going wrong or is it my understanding of 
auto-correlation procedure is wrong?

Will be grateful if someone guides .

Vincy

[R] Passing a large amount of parameters to a function

2011-08-24 Thread Eran Eidinger
Hello,

I have a function with a long list of parameters (of different types,
numeric and string)

myFunc -function(p1, p2, p3, p4, p5...etc)
{
   do.something(p1,p2,)
}

I want to loop over this to provide a different set of parameters to the
list every time.

for (ii in 1:N)
{
   myFunc(p1(ii), p2(ii),etc)
}

I would like to simplify the notation and use some kind of structure, maybe
a list or dataframe.
However when I try, for example, the following:

params = data.frame(cbind(p1=c(1,2,3), p2=5, p3=c(3,2,1)))
myFunc -function(params)
{
   attach(params)
   do.something(p1,p2,)
   detach(params)
}
for (ii in 1:N)
{
   myFunc(params[ii,])
}


do.something fails because p1, p2,... are now factors, and i have to
as.numeric() or as.char() each parameter before applying mathematical
operators (such as simple multiplication).
This defeats the purpose of simplifying the code.

Is there any decent, simple way of doing this?
Can I unfactor a row of a data.frame? or a list?
(BTW, as.numeric() won't work since some of the parameters are strings,
same goes for stringsAsFactors in data.frame)

Thanks,
Eran

Re: [R] Passing a large amount of parameters to a function

2011-08-24 Thread Dimitris Rizopoulos

You could use something like the following:

paramsList - list(p1 = 1:10, p2 = -5:5, p3 = 5, p4 = 8)
params - unlist(as.relistable(paramsList))

myFunc - function (params) {
params - relist(params, skeleton = paramsList)
p1 - params$p1
p2 - params$p2
p3 - params$p3
p4 - params$p4
...
}

For another example have a look at the online help file of relist().

I hope it helps.

Re: [R] matrix into vector with vertex names

2011-08-24 Thread joe j
Hi Gabor,

Thanks. I will try to figure out the solution you suggest. I found out
about melt() from a discussion forum; it seems to me that
melt()$value is similar to c(), and when I modified the script as
below it 'seems' to be running faster. Anyway in the end I only needed
to use a smaller network so the computation went ok.

y_s - melt(y_s)[c(upper.tri(y_s)),]  #new code

y_s - melt(y_s)[melt(upper.tri(y_s))$value,] #old code

The reason I needed three columns was for later statistical analysis
for which such a format was necessary.

Best regards,
Joe.

 Joe,

 what is melt() supposed to do here?

 What's wrong with the simple solution of creating a data.frame first,
 and then filling it with values through a loop? Actually, keeping the
 matrix is just as good, indexing is just as fast, and takes the same
 amount of memory as your three column matrix, doesn't it?

Re: [R] Autocorrelation using library(tseries)

2011-08-24 Thread Prof Brian Ripley
Your understanding is wrong.  For a start, there is no function acf() 
in package tseries: it is in stats.


And the autocorrelation at lag one is not the correlation omitting the 
first and last values: it uses the mean and variance estimated from 
the whole series and divisor n.


Have you looked at the reference given on ?acf ?  As the help says

 (This contains the exact definitions used.)

Neither the R help pages nor R-help are intended as tutorials in 
statistics.


On Wed, 24 Aug 2011, Vincy Pyne wrote:


Dear R list

I am trying to understand the auto-correlation concept. 
Auto-correlation is the self-correlation of random variable X with a 
certain time lag of say t.


The article 
http://www.mit.tut.fi/MIT-3010/luentokalvot/lk10-11/MDA_lecture16_11.pdf; 
(Page no. 9 and 10) gives the methodology as under.


But that is not the definitive reference, and no, it doesn't (and what 
it does give is not the conventional definition in the time series 
literature).



Suppose you have a time series observations as say

X = c(44,41,46,49,49,50,40,44,49,41)

# For autocorrelation with time lag of 1 we define

A = c(41,46,49,49,50,40,44,49,41)?? # first element of X not considered
B = c(44,41,46,49,49,50,40,44,49) # Last element of X not considered


cor(A,B)

[1] -0.02581234

However, if I try the acf command using library tseries I get

acf(X, 1)

Autocorrelations of series ???X???, by
lag

 0?? 1
??1.000 -0.019

So by usual correlation command (where same random variable X is 
converted into two series with a time lag of 1), I obtain 
auto-correlation as -0.02581234 and by acf command I get 
auto-correlation = -0.019 (for time lag of 1).


I am not able to figure out where I am going wrong or is it my 
understanding of auto-correlation procedure is wrong?


Will be grateful if someone guides .

Betreff: [R] Efficient way to Calculate the squared

distances for a

set ofvectors to a fixed vector

I am pretty new to R. So this may be an easy question for

most of you.


I would like to calculate the squared distances of a large

set (let's

say 2) of vectors (let's say dimension of 5) to a fixed vector.

Say I have a data frame MY_VECTORS with 2 rows and 5

columns, and

one 5x1 vector y. I would like to efficiently calculate

the squared

distances between each of the 2 vectors in MY_VECTORS and y.

The squared distance between two vectors x and y can be calculated:
distance - crossprod(x-y)

Without looping, what is the efficient code to achieve this?

Thanks.

 sum() uses a long double accumulator.

I am afraid that you can not do it. Only if you you accept assumption that 
distribution within each factor is normal and therefore median equals 
mean. You can than also use 25 an 75 percentile for box construction.

see ?boxplot and ?bxp for internals of plotting function.

One possibility also is to generate values by mean and sd parameters to 
rnorm, although I do not see the reason for doing it.

Re: [R] obtaining p-values for lm.ridge() coefficients (package 'MASS')

2011-08-24 Thread Liviu Andronic
Dear Michael
Thank you for your pointers.


On Tue, Aug 23, 2011 at 4:05 PM, Michael Friendly frien...@yorku.ca wrote:
 First, you should be using rms::ols, as Design is old.

Good to know. I've always wondered why Design and rms, in many cases,
were providing similar functions and (upon cursory inspection)
identical documentation.


 Second, penalty in ols() is not the same as the ridge constant in lm.ridge,
 but rather a penalty on the log likelihood.  The documentation
 for ols refers to ?lrm for the description.

I see. At the same time ?rms::ols contains: The penalized maximum
likelihood estimate (penalized least squares or ridge estimate) of
beta is (X'X + P)^{-1} X'Y., while ?rms::lrm defines P as penalty
\times diag(pf) \times penalty.matrix \times diag(pf), where pf is the
vector of square roots of penalty factors computed from penalty. This
is suspiciously similar to the definition of the classical Ridge
Regression beta estimates (X'X + kI)^{-1} X'Y, where k is the lambda
constant and I the identity matrix.

Hence I was wondering if rms::ols could be forced to use 'P = kI', and
thus compute the classical Ridge estimates? I tried to hack rms::ols
to ensure that it passed 'kI' to lm.pfit(..., penalty.matrix = ...),
but I get strange results so I must be missing something. (See
attached.)


 Third, other ridge estimators (e.g., ElemStatLearn::simple.ridge also
 give slightly different results for the same data due to differences in the
 way scaling is handled.

And ?ElemStatLearn::prostate points to several other 'ridge'-related functions.

However, similar to MASS::lm.ridge, simple.ridge() roughly stops at
estimating the betas, hence my question: is the purpose of Ridge
Regression to stabilize the coefficients (when the design matrix is
collinear) and use the results to infer the relative importance of the
coefficients on the response, while keeping the unpenalized model for
prediction purposes? Or am I missing something?

Thank you
Liviu

Re: [R] setMethods/setGeneric problem when R CMD CHECK'ing a package

Hmm, so I moved the function call to the same file as the methods
call, and placed it above the method in the file -- but I'm getting
the same error.  Is there something odd about as.yearmon in the zoo
package that it might not be getting defined as a generic function?
If so, how would I go about creating a generic?
setGeneric(as.yearmon) doesn't seem to cut it.

Here's the new file contents:

newlist=mapply(zoo:::as.yearmon,x@list,MoreArgs=list(...),simplify=FALSE)
x@list=newlist

[R] identify connected cells in a cellular automaton

2011-08-24 Thread matpops
Hello,
I’m working on a simulation using a cellular automata. The scenario is:
Each cell represent a land plot. Each plot can have 3 different states: 
-The owner is a private individual (P)
-The owner is a company ( C) 
-The land is abandoned/not used (A)
The first year the cellular automaton is composed with one cell C in the
middle. The rest of the cells are in P state.
Each year a random number of cells P become A. The company buys the land A
connected to C cells. The expansion process occurs only around the C cells.
When the company buy a new cell its budget decrease of 10 cu (currency
unit). When the amount of connected cells is bigger than 3 the each new
cells connected start to generate earnings. The process occurs until the
budget is equal to 0.
I wish now introduce a new rule: each year the company start to buy
available land connected to it’s own land then purchase land (cells) not
connected according to its budget.
The problem is now to calculate the total earning of the company since with
the new rule some disconnected plot will be created. I need to calculate the
earning of each disconnected land ( since plot with less than three cells
connected will not generate earnings).  
With the first simulation calculate the total earnings was easy since every
C cells was connected ( I only had to calculate the area own by the
company).
I’m looking for a way to identify the number of connected cells for each
parcel of company land. Any suggestion?

This is the code of the first simulation:
 # starting population
m - 10 # nbr of rows
n - 10 # nbr of cols
x - rep(0, m*n)# cells
dim(x) - c(m,n)# m rows n cols

# company land is in the middle
x[floor((m+1)/2),floor((n+1)/2)] - company
# image(x, col=c(white,green))
span - 10  # time span in periods
p_avail - 1/10 # probability of land becoming available

company_area - sum(x==company) # initial company area
newly_owned - function(t){ # newly owned area in year t
company_area[[t]] - company_area[[t-1]]}
earning - function(t){ # earning in year t
ifelse(critical_size  company_area[[t]],
cells_earn*(company_area[[t-1]] - critical_size),0)}
revenue - 0# for t=1
net_earned - 0 # for t=1
 
for(t in 2:span){
# some cells become available
r01 - ifelse(x == private, matrix((runif(x,0,1)),nrow=m,ncol=n), x)
x - ifelse(r01 = p_avail, available, x)
  
# buy available lands around the company land
x - ifelse(
1 == neighbors(x,state=company,wdist=wdist)  x==available, 
company, x)
company_area[[t]] - sum(x==company)
revenue[[t]] - earning(t)
expansion_cost - newly_owned(t)*land_cost  # the cost of buying 
new land
net_earned[[t]] - revenue[[t]] - expansion_cost
budget[[t]] - budget[[t-1]] + net_earned[[t]]
if (budget[[t]]=0) break

# white = private owned land, blue = available,  green = company
image(x, col=c(white,blue,green))
}

[R] gofCopula() function

2011-08-24 Thread Deniz SIGIRLI

Hi all,
I'm trying to use gofCopula() function in copula package. But I'm always 
(trying different data sets) getting the same p value for Cramer-von Mises 
statistic. I'm using:
g-gumbelCopula(1.653, dim = 2)gofCopula(g, x, N = 1000, method = 
itau,simulation = pb)
c-claytonCopula(1.306, dim = 2)gofCopula(c, x, N = 1000, method = 
itau,simulation = pb)
The p values are always 0.0004995005. I tried different data sets, but it was 
the same.  Can anyone tell me what is wrong?


Best regards

[R] How to use mvrnorm?

2011-08-24 Thread maaariiianne
Dear R community!
I would like to simulate distributions based on a polynomial model. It
consists of 96 values and I want to randomly select new normaly distributed
values around the modeled values. Furthermore, each value should be
correlated with the previous one. Is it correct to therefore use mvrnorm?
How do I define sigma?
Thank you very much for your help.
All the best, 
Marianne

-   How can I change the for each linear regression its color and linetype?
-   How can I add for both the linear regression lines their equations and
Rseq inside or below the plot?

Code:  
set.seed(955)
df - data.frame(cond = rep(c('A', 'B'), each=10),
 xvar = 1:20 + rnorm(20,sd=3),
 yvar = 1:20 + rnorm(20,sd=3))
 
ggplot(df, aes(x=xvar, y=yvar, shape=cond)) +

[R] R (stats) newcomer.... help!

2011-08-24 Thread geigercounter120
Hi all,

I hope that i've posted this in the correct place. if not, please accept my
apologies (where should this go?)

I have carried out experimental removal of bivalves at 2 intertidal shores.
Bivalves were removed by raking of surface sediments. I wish compare the
biomass values of for a total of 8 species between the 2 shores

My 3 treatments are: Undisturbed Controls (Cont), Procedural Controls (Proc)
and Experimetnally Fished (Fished).

As Fished and Proc have both experienced disturbance, I set the model using
2 factors as follows:

ControlsProcedural  Fished
Raked   0   1   1
Fished  0   0   1

As a newcomer to R ( stats!), I am unsure as to how to proceed.

i am currently adopting the approach

model-glm(biomass~Shore*Raked*Species+Shore*Fished*Species)

And then run post-hoc adjusted pairwise comparisons between signifcant
terms.

Does this look OK to you guys?

Many, many thanks

Chris

[R] library REEMtree = Error in estRE[toString(uniqueID[i]), 1] : incorrect number of dimensions

2011-08-24 Thread Ubuntu Diego
Hi List,

I'm having this problem when trying to use the PREDICT function.


Here is a way to reproduce the error

library(REEMtree)
data(simpleREEMdata)
REEMresult-REEMtree(Y~D+t+X, data=simpleREEMdata, random=~1|ID/D)
predict(REEMresult, simpleREEMdata, id = simpleREEMdata$ID/simpleREEMdata$D, 
EstimateRandomEffects=TRUE)


As far as I understand the problem is that I'm not being able to specify 
correctly the number of groups created in the random structure of the model 
(~1|ID/D). 

Does anybody knows how to FIX this ?

 Hi all,
 
 I hope that i've posted this in the correct place. if not, please accept my
 apologies (where should this go?)
 
 I have carried out experimental removal of bivalves at 2 intertidal shores.
 Bivalves were removed by raking of surface sediments. I wish compare the
 biomass values of for a total of 8 species between the 2 shores
 
 My 3 treatments are: Undisturbed Controls (Cont), Procedural Controls (Proc)
 and Experimetnally Fished (Fished).
 
 As Fished and Proc have both experienced disturbance, I set the model using
 2 factors as follows:
 
   ControlsProcedural  Fished
 Raked 0   1   1
 Fished0   0   1
 
 As a newcomer to R ( stats!), I am unsure as to how to proceed.
 
 i am currently adopting the approach
 
 model-glm(biomass~Shore*Raked*Species+Shore*Fished*Species)
 
 And then run post-hoc adjusted pairwise comparisons between signifcant
 terms.
 

  The best thing would be if you (1) found a local expert
to help you with the analysis or (2) sat down and read a book-length
treatment of stats in R: check out the 'books' section on www.r-project.org
(Dalgaard's and Faraway's books seem particularly appropriate) or the
contributed documentation page, *or* read Gotelli and Ellison's
_Primer of Statistics for Ecologists_ (not in R, but very clear).
Learning R and statistics at the same time with only the built-in
R documentation is likely to be very frustrating ...

  There is also an r-sig-ecology mailing list.

  Your approach doesn't seem completely crazy (you don't need glm()
if your data are normally distributed, lm() will work a little bit better),
but I would want to know a lot more about the experimental design:
how many data points do you have? Are there experimental blocks in the
data?If you really want to treat each species as a separate comparison,
it might be more straightforward to use the lmList() command from
the nlme package to run a biomass~Shore*(Raked+Fished) comparison
for each species ...

Re: [R] Odp: boxplot from mean and SD data

 Hi
 
 Dear all,

 I am afraid that you can not do it.

Or, you can't do it without modifying the definition of a boxplot. There are 
variations in which the box is mean +/- 2SD and the whiskers show the range, 
but I consider that a doubleplusungood idea -- box plots should be box plots! 

 Only if you you accept assumption that 
 distribution within each factor is normal and therefore median equals 
 mean. You can than also use 25 an 75 percentile for box construction.
 
 see ?boxplot and ?bxp for internals of plotting function.
 
 One possibility also is to generate values by mean and sd parameters to 
 rnorm, although I do not see the reason for doing it.

[R] debugging functions in R

2011-08-24 Thread Eran Eidinger
Hi,

I am not sure if this is the right list to ask this question (though I did
not find a more appropriate one).
I've started using R a month ago, and small scripts work fine. However, when
I start writing more complex code, it gets messy.

1. Is there any way to debug normally, with breakpoints?
2. I am using the Eclipse plugin (StatET), and tried JGR(). Is there an IDE
that enables breakpoints?
3. Is there an equivalent to include in other programming languages? So
many functions in one file are very messy. I would like to break it to
several files.
4. Any way to create a local context of variables inside a function?
Otherwise I have to be careful to give different names inside functions, to
those in the workspace.

I should point that I am a long time Matlab user and am probably expecting
some things that don't necessarily exist in R...

I know it's a lot, if there is a more appropriate forum to ask these, please
point me in that direction.

Thanks,
Eran.

 Even if I have specified col=red, border=red, color of squares and

As far as I know, col and border do only affect the fitted values
(diamonds), i.e. the FEM/REM estimators (see ?forest.rma: col:
character string specifying the name of a color to use for _the fitted_
values (‘darkgray’ by default).)

Furthermore, I had a quick look at the source code and it might be a
bug. If I replace in line 2770 the line

cex * efac), col = black, ...)

with

cex * efac), col = col, ...)

you can at least specify your own colour. Changing the border color
seems a bit more tricky...

However, Wolfgang Viechbauer (the package author) is always a very
responsive and helpful person and I suggest you better wait for his answer.

[R] silently testing for data from another package for .Rd examples

2011-08-24 Thread Michael Friendly
In an .Rd example for a package, I want to use data from another 
package, but avoid loading the entire

package and avoid errors/warnings if that other package is not available.

If I don't care about loading the other package, I can just do:

if (require(ElemStatLearn, quietly=TRUE)) {
data(prostate)
 #  rest of example
}

I'd rather just be able to do something like:

if (data(prostate, package=ElemStatLearn)) {
  #  rest of example
}

but it appears that data() doesn't return anything useful (like FALSE or 
NULL) in case the named data
set doesn't exist, or the package cannot be found.  Below are some test 
cases in a fresh R 2.13.1 session.


Is there someway I can incorporate such a data example silently without 
errors or warnings if the

package doesn't exist, as is the case with require()?

 data(prostate, package=ElemStatLearn)
 dd - data(prostate, package=ElemStatLearn)
 dd
[1] prostate
 dd2 - data(x, package=ElemStatLearn)
Warning message:
In data(x, package = ElemStatLearn) : data set 'x' not found
 dd2

 dd3 - data(z, package=foobar)
Error in find.package(package, lib.loc, verbose = verbose) :

try() doesn't seem to help here:

 ddtry - try(data(z, package=foobar))
Error in find.package(package, lib.loc, verbose = verbose) :
  there is no package called 'foobar'
 ddtry

[R] THX-- How to use 'switch' with strings containing spaces?

2011-08-24 Thread Mauricio Cornejo
Richard,

Thanks for your observation and tip.

My apologies that the 'expr' seemed undefined.  That was intentional on my part 
as I only wanted to show the form of the non-working code.  Let me be clearer 
by updating the code with what I actually type at the command line.  The code 
below does not work (error message included).


x - c(Choice 1, Choice 2, Choice 3)
switch(Choice 2, x[1]=My first choice, x[2]=My 2nd choice, x[3]=My 3rd 
choice)
Error: unexpected '=' in switch(Choice 2, x[1]=

On an earlier reply, David Winsemius suggested using the 'match' function 
instead.  Perhaps that is the way to go, bypassing 'switch' altogether.  But I 
would like to know why the code above does not work.


Again, many thanks,
Mauricio

 wrap your function name in it and then execute your function call.

 debugonce(my.function)

Re: [R] THX-- How to use 'switch' with strings containing spaces?

2011-08-24 Thread jim holtman
?switch

If you read the help page, you will see that if the EXPR evaluates to
a character string, then is matches on the names of the elements;
'x[1]' is not a name, it is a value.

You want to probably use 'match'

 match(Choice 2, x)
[1] 2

 The problem is that your argument expr is undefined.

[R] Function rank() for data frames (or multiple vectors)?

2011-08-24 Thread Sebastian Bauer

Hello,

I'd like to rank rows of a data frame similar to what rank() does for 
vectors. However, ties should be broken by columns that I specify. If it 
is not possible to break a ties (because the row data is essentially the 
same), I'd like to have the same flexibility that rank() offers. Is 
there an elegant solution to this simple problem in R? Basically, what I 
need is a mixture of order() and rank(). While the former allows to 
specify multiple vectors, it doesn't provide the flexibility of rank() 
such that I can specify what happens if ties can not be broken.


Thanks for your help!

Best,
Sebastian

[R] Help: find the index of the minimum of entries

2011-08-24 Thread Chee Chen
Dear All,
I would like to ask a question on how to find the index of the minimum of 
entries of a numeric vector, without using loops or user defined functions. 
Suppose we have a vector:
a - c(3,1,2)
then, 
min(a) = 1
and its index is 2.

Target:  how to get the index of this minimum? How to get the indices  if 
multiple entries assume this same minimum?

Thank you,
Chee

Re: [R] THX-- How to use 'switch' with strings containing spaces?

2011-08-24 Thread S Ellison
 
Your code example doesn't work because x[3]='My 3rd choice' is not a valid 
named parameter assignment for a function, and that is because x[3] is not a 
valid name for a function argument. The _content_ of x[3] might be, but 
argument names aren;t parsed in this context (and indeed only would be using 
something like assign()). 

So what R has done is say
I've found a token x[3]; that's an array dereference on x so I must evaluate 
that, just as I would if I encountered x[3] on its own. Now let me make sure 
there isn't another bracket or subset operation on that x[3]...  ooh look an 
unexpected '=' sign. That shouldn't be there, there should only be a space, a 
comma or a subset operator.

Other functions do exactly the same when they find an '=' in this position.

If you want to use switch with variable match lists, use match in the initial 
expression to get an integer, and rely on integer indexing in swich() for the 
return value.

S Ellison

Re: [R] R.oo modify an object inside another classes method

2011-08-24 Thread Ben qant
I didn't see an answer to this and I THINK I sorted it out myself so I
thought I'd post it for anyone who is interested (in using it or correcting
it):

My original question:

Can someone show me how to modify one (R.oo) class's object inside another
(R.oo) class's method? Is that possible with the R.oo package? A quick
example or reference to an example would be outstanding...

Solution:

setConstructorS3(Person, function(age) {
  if (missing(age))  age - NA;

  extend(Object(), Person,
.age=age
  )
})

setMethodS3(getAge, Person, function(this, ...) {
  this$.age;
})

setMethodS3(setAge, Person, function(this, newAge, ...) {
  if (!is.numeric(newAge))
throw(Age must be numeric: , newAge);
  if (newAge  0)
throw(Trying to set a negative age: , newAge);
  this$.age - newAge;
})


setConstructorS3(AgeMultiplier, function() {

  extend(Object(), AgeMultiplier,
.age=NA,
.age_multiplied=NA
  )
})
setMethodS3(doMultiply, AgeMultiplier, function(this,per_obj, ...) {
  this$.age_multiplied =  per_obj$age  * 2;
  per_obj$age = this$.age_multiplied;
})

Use example:

p1 - Person(67)
am1 =  AgeMultiplier()
am1$doMultiply(p1)
p1$age  # 134

Re: [R] Change color in forest.rma (metafor)

2011-08-24 Thread Viechtbauer Wolfgang (STAT)
Thank you, Bernd, for looking into this. 

Yes, at the moment, the color of the summary estimate for models without 
moderators is hard-coded (as black). I didn't think people may want to change 
that. I guess I was wrong =)

A dirty solution for the moment is to add:

addpoly(dfs, efac=6, row=-1, col=red, border=red, annotate=F, mlab=)

after the call to forest(). You will get a warning message (since the border 
argument gets passed to the text() function inside addpoly() and that's not a 
par for text), but you can just ignore that.

Best,

 As far as I know, col and border do only affect the fitted values

 character string specifying the name of a color to use for _the fitted_
 values ('darkgray' by default).)
 
 Furthermore, I had a quick look at the source code and it might be a
 bug. If I replace in line 2770 the line
 
 cex * efac), col = black, ...)
 
 with
 
 cex * efac), col = col, ...)
 
 you can at least specify your own colour. Changing the border color
 seems a bit more tricky...
 
 However, Wolfgang Viechbauer (the package author) is always a very
 responsive and helpful person and I suggest you better wait for his

Re: [R] silently testing for data from another package for .Rd examples

Actually it is recommended to test for the availability of a valid 
package with find.package(), particularly in this case where the name of 
the package is already know.

[R] data manipulation and summaries with few million rows

2011-08-24 Thread Juliet Hannah
I have a data set with about 6 million rows and 50 columns. It is a
mixture of dates, factors, and numerics.

What I am trying to accomplish can be seen with the following
simplified data, which is given as dput output below.

 head(myData)
  mydate gender mygroup id
1 2012-03-25  F   A  1
2 2005-05-23  F   B  2
3 2005-09-08  F   B  2
4 2005-12-07  F   B  2
5 2006-02-26  F   C  2
6 2006-05-13  F   C  2

For each id, I want to count the number of changes of the variable
'mygroup' that occur. For example, id=1 has 0 changes because it is
observed only once.  id=2 has 2 changes (B to C, and C to D).  I also
need to calculate the total observation time for each id using the
variable mydate.  In the end, I am trying to have a new data set in
which each row has an id, days observed, number of changes, and
gender.

I made some simple summaries using data.table and plyr, but I'm stuck
on this reformatting.

Thanks for your help.

[R] How to do cross validation with glm?

2011-08-24 Thread Andra Isan
Hi All, 

I have a fitted model called glm.fit which I used glm and data dat is my data 
frame

pred= predict(glm.fit, data = dat, type=response) 

to predict how it predicts on my whole data but obviously I have to do 
cross-validation to train the model on one part of my data and predict on the 
other part. So, I searched for it and I found a function cv.glm which is in 
package boot. So, I tired to use it as:

cv.glm = (cv.glm(dat, glm.fit, cost, K=nrow(dat))$delta)

but I am not sure how to do the prediction for the hold-out data. Is there any 
better way for cross-validation to learn a model on training data and test it 
on test data in R? 

Thanks,
Andra

What you describe is not cross-validation, so I am afraid we do not 
know what you mean.  And cv.glm does 'prediction for the hold-out 
data' for you: you can read the code to see how it does so.


I suspect you mean you want to do validation on a test set, but that 
is not what you actually claim.   There are lots of examples of this 
sort of thing in MASS (the book, scripts in the package).

Re: [R] How to do cross validation with glm?

Hi,

Thanks for the reply. What I meant is that, I would like to partition my dat 
data (a data frame) into training and testing data and then evaluate the 
performance of the model on test data. So, I thought cross validation is the 
natural choice to see how the prediction works on the hold-out data. Is there 
any example that I can take a look to see how to do cross validation and get 
the prediction results on my data?

Thanks a lot,
Andra

Re: [R] data manipulation and summaries with few million rows

2011-08-24 Thread Dennis Murphy
Hi Juliet:

Here's a Q  D solution:

# (1) plyr
 f - function(d) length(unique(d$mygroup)) - 1
 ddply(myData, .(id), f)
  id V1
1  1  0
2  2  2
3  3  1
4  4  0

# (2) data.table

myDT - data.table(myData, key = 'id')
myDT[, list(nswitch = length(unique(mygroup)) - 1), by = 'id']

If one can switch back and forth between levels more than once, then
the above is clearly not appropriate. A more robust method would be to
employ rle() [run length encoding]:

g - function(d) length(rle(d$mygroup)$lengths) - 1
ddply(myData, .(id), g)# gives the same answer as above
myDT[, list(nswitch = length(rle(mygroup)$lengths) - 1), by = 'id']   # ditto


HTH,
Dennis

Re: [R] Function rank() for data frames (or multiple vectors)?

Thanks for your answer. For instance, if I have two vectors such as

1 3
2 1

that I want combinedly ranked. I'd like to get an output

more than one vector (as order() does).


Can't you just paste the columns and run rank on the results? 'rank'  
accepts character vectors.

Re: [R] data manipulation and summaries with few million rows

2011-08-24 Thread Juliet Hannah
Thanks Dennis! I'll check this out.

Just to clarify, I need the total number of switches/changes
regardless of if that state
had occurred in the past. So A-A-B-A, would have 2 changes: A to B and B to A.

Thanks again.

 Hi Juliet:

 Here's a Q  D solution:

 # (1) plyr
 f - function(d) length(unique(d$mygroup)) - 1
 ddply(myData, .(id), f)
  id V1
 1  1  0
 2  2  2
 3  3  1
 4  4  0

 # (2) data.table

 myDT - data.table(myData, key = 'id')
 myDT[, list(nswitch = length(unique(mygroup)) - 1), by = 'id']

 If one can switch back and forth between levels more than once, then
 the above is clearly not appropriate. A more robust method would be to
 employ rle() [run length encoding]:

 g - function(d) length(rle(d$mygroup)$lengths) - 1
 ddply(myData, .(id), g)    # gives the same answer as above
 myDT[, list(nswitch = length(rle(mygroup)$lengths) - 1), by = 'id']   # ditto

 What you describe is not
 cross-validation, so I am afraid we do not know what you
 mean.  And cv.glm does 'prediction for the hold-out
 data' for you: you can read the code to see how it does so.
 
 I suspect you mean you want to do validation on a test set,
 but that is not what you actually
 claim.   There are lots of examples of this
 sort of thing in MASS (the book, scripts in the package).

[R] Help: convert entry of a list into a matrix

2011-08-24 Thread Chee Chen
Dear All,
As always, I appreciate all your help.
I would like to know the easiest way to convert each of the homogeneous 
elements of a numeric list into a matrix. Each element of this list is also a 
list such that when displayed, looks like a 2-by-3 matrix , I would like to 
convert each of them into a matrix, without changing the double index of each 
entry.

Suppose: 
a- vector(list,2)
 a[[1]]
   [,1]  [,2]  [,3]
[1,]  1 2  0
[2,] 3  4  5

 a[[2]]
   [,1]  [,2] [,3]
[1,]  5 69
[2,]  78  10

is.list(a[[1]])
True

Target: I would like to convert a[[2]] into a matrix, keeping the double index, 
into
 mat1
   [,1]  [,2] [,3]
[1,]  5 6   9
[2,]  7810

The list I have is huge and so is each of its elements, and do not want to use 
unlist because I do not understand it fully.
Thank you,
Chee

This is a common problem. You need to take a look at the last row that
was imported, and the rows around 21423 in the original file.

Common causes include stray single or double quotation marks, and
other special characters in your file like the default comment.char #

Re: [R] Help: convert entry of a list into a matrix

2011-08-24 Thread R. Michael Weylandt
Rereading your email, still not sure what the question is -- perhaps you
could give a better code example to illustrate the difference between a[[2]]
and mat1 -- but, since you mentioned briefly lists of lists, have you looked
at unlist(, recursive = F)? If applied to a list of lists, it won't unlist
the sub-lists and that gives you a list of matrices, which, as I said
before, are matrices when subsetted with `[[`, but not `[`.

Thanks. So I guess the idiom I'm looking for is

 length((find.package(, quiet=TRUE)))
[1] 0
 length((find.package(lattice, quiet=TRUE)))
[1] 1


However, AFAICS, find.package() was only introduced in R 2.13.x, so I'm 
a bit reluctant to use it in

a new package that need not otherwise require the latest major version.

The following (from Yihui) works for earlier versions, at least R 2.12.2

  %in% .packages(all=TRUE)
[1] FALSE
 lattice %in% .packages(all=TRUE)

[R] Model selection and model efficiency - Search for opinions

2011-08-24 Thread Arnaud Mosnier
Hi,

In order to find the best models I use AIC, more specifically I calculate
Akaike weights then Evidence Ratio (ER) and consider that models with a ER 
2 are equally likely.
But the same problem remain each time I do that. I selected the best models
from a set of them, but I don't know if those models are efficient to
predict (or at least represent) my data.
I can have selected the best element(s) of the list of the worst models.

Do you find it is correct to calculate R2 or pseudo-R2 for the best set of
models in order to have an idea of the representativeness of those models
and use this value to select the more efficient model ?

I would be glad to hear your opinions about this !

Thanks,

Arnaud

[R] Column of probabilities

2011-08-24 Thread Jim Silverton
Hi all,
I have a vector xm say:  xm = c(1,2,3,4,5,5,5,6,6)

I want to return a vector with the corresponding probabilities based on the
amount of times the numbers occurred. For example, I should get the
following vector for xm:
prob.xm = c(1/9, 1/9, 1/9, 1/9, 3/9, 3/9, 3/9, 2/9, 2/9)
Any help greatly appreciated.

Re: [R] Column of probabilities

2011-08-24 Thread R. Michael Weylandt
If your numbers are all positive integers, this should work:

(tabulate(xm)[xm])/length(xm)

it can be put into a function for ease of use:

probVec - function(x) {(tabulate(x)[x])/length(x)}

You'll have some trouble if you have non-positive integers or non-integers.
Let me know if you need to handle that case: it's not much harder (just a
transform in and out of integers).

Hope this helps,

Michael

Re: [R] Opening package manual from within R

2011-08-24 Thread Tyler Rinker

Apparently my request to view the help pages is not a popular method among R 
users for gaining information.  for me these pages are very helpful so I will 
follow up to completed this thread for future searchers.
 
First thanks fo Prof. Brian Ripley.  Your idea was spot on what I was looking 
for for generating a pdf from the package library.
 
I worked out the following code that I added to my .First() library:
#=manual
 - function(library, method=web){

LIB - substitute(library)
LIB - as.character(LIB)

METH - substitute(method)
METH - as.character(METH)

switch(METH,
   web = 
browseURL(paste(http://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/,LIB,/,LIB,.pdf;, 
sep = )),
   system =  {unlink(paste(getwd(),/,LIB,.pdf,sep=))
 path - find.package(LIB)
 system(paste(shQuote(file.path(R.home(bin), R)),CMD, 
Rd2pdf,shQuote(path)))})   
}
#=
 
library is the package name
method is either web or system (web is Internet based and faster where as 
system creates the pdf from the library latex code and is slower)
 
#=
Thanks for your responses!

  Simple question but searching rseek did not yield the results I wanted.
 
  Question: Is there a way to open a help manual for a package from within R.
 
  For instance I would like to type a function in r for the tm package 
  and R would open that PDF as seen here: 
  http://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/tm/tm.pdf
 
  -The vignette function exists for vignettes 
  [vignette(package.name)] so I assume the same exists for manuals.
 
 You assume wrong. Vignettes PDFs are installed as part of the package 
 (and often take minutes to regenerate): the PDF version of the help 
 pages (what you seem to call 'the package manual') is not (in 
 general). In many cases what other people (including the author, e.g. 
 me for RODBC) call the 'package manual' is a PDF in the doc directory 
 (which may or may not be a vignette).
 
 The assumption is that people will use search facilities or the hints 
 given by the help titles in help(package=tm) or browse the HTML 
 version of the same information (e.g. via help.start).
 
 But you can (provided you have pdflatex etc in your path) generate the 
 PDF version of the help pages by
 
 R CMD Rd2pdf /path/to/installed/package
 
 It will even open it in a browser for you (unless you use 
 --no-preview). You could easily encapsulate this in a function by 
 e.g.
 
 showPDFmanual - function(package, lib.loc=NULL)
 {
 path - find.package(package, lib.loc)
 system(paste(shQuote(file.path(R.home(bin), R)),
 CMD, Rd2pdf,
 shQuote(path)))
 }
 
 Alternatively *for packages on CRAN only* you can access the version 
 on CRAN by browseURL.
 
  -I do not want library(help=package.name) as this is not detailed enough.
 
  I am running R 2.14.0 beta on a windows 7 machine
  Reproducible code does not seem appropriate in this case.
 
 But accurate 'at a minimum' information (and no HTML) does. There is 
 no such version as '2.14.0 beta', and will not be for a couple of 
 months. If you are running a beta version of R it is old, so please 
 update to a released or patched version. (Also, any version 
 calling itself '2.14.0 Under development' is old and needs updating: 
 the current R-devel displays no version number.)

[R] Append a value to a vector

2011-08-24 Thread Claudio Zanettini
This should be easy but it does not work
I have 3 vectors*(activeT,inactT, activeR)*,
the idea is that if the last value in inactT is higher than the last in
activeT
this value has to be append in active T
and the last value in another vector call activeR has to be repeated.
(at the bottom you can find the vectors)
I have done this:

activeT=round(as.numeric(activeT))
inactT= round(as.numeric(inactT))
lastV-round(as.numeric(tail(lat,1)))
lastA-round(as.numeric(tail(activeT,1)))
lastI-round(as.numeric(tail(inactT,1)))

if (lastV!=lastA){
append(lastV, activeT)
lastR=tail(activeR,1)
append(activeR,lastR)
}

lastR has been appended to activeR
but not lastV to activeV

I guess that this is related to the attributes of the vectors this is why I
applied as.numeric at all the vectors.

Thank you for you time and your patience

Re: [R] Append a value to a vector

2011-08-24 Thread Jean V Adams
I'm still a little confused about lastV and lastI.  The code you provide 
uses lastV, but your description seems to refer to lastI.  Test out this 
code and see if it is doing what you want it to do.

lastI
lastA
activeT
activeR
if(lastI  lastA) {
activeT - c(activeT, lastI)
activeR - c(activeR, tail(activeR,1))
}
activeT
activeR

By the way, it's helpful to others if you cc r-help@r-project.org in any

 The vector lat is a vector containing both the values of activeT

 activeT and inactT have been created subsetting the vector lat'
 The values are labeled such as that the decimal points indicate the

 #.11 = active responses= activeT

 All the values are sorted in crescent way so
  the lastV is the last values in the vector lat (composed by the 2

Re: [R] Append a value to a vector

2011-08-24 Thread Claudio Zanettini
Thank you, this work fine,
and is not contorted like mine:)
In this case lastV=LastI but depending on the data that I obtain
lastV can be = LastA.

Any way it works very good:)

Thank you
very much :)


PS: but I still do not understand what was wrong in the script that I used,
It was not very appropriate but it is strange that was not working,

2011/8/24 Jean V Adams jvad...@usgs.gov


 I'm still a little confused about lastV and lastI.  The code you provide
 uses lastV, but your description seems to refer to lastI.  Test out this
 code and see if it is doing what you want it to do.

 lastI
 lastA
 activeT
 activeR
 if(lastI  lastA) {
 activeT - c(activeT, lastI)
 activeR - c(activeR, tail(activeR,1))
 }
 activeT
 activeR

 By the way, it's helpful to others if you cc r-help@r-project.org in any
 replies to keep the thread going.

  Sure, sorry for that I was not very clear
   I did not mention that there was another the vector!
  The vector lat is a vector containing both the values of activeT
  and  of inactT.
  activeT and inactT have been created subsetting the vector lat'
  The values are labeled such as that the decimal points indicate the
  kind of information
  #.11 = active responses= activeT
  #.13 = inactive responses= inacT
  All the values are sorted in crescent way so
   the lastV is the last values in the vector lat (composed by the 2
 vectors),
  and so it is also the max value of all the values of activeT and
 inactiveT
 
  this is the vector lat:

[R] unused argument(s) (Header = True) help!

2011-08-24 Thread shardman
Hi,

I'm really new to R so I aoplogise if this is a stupid question.

I'm trying to import data from a .txt file into R using the read.table
command, the headers for the data columns are already in the text file so I
add Header = True after the file location. The problem is I keep getting the
error message *unused argument(s) (Header = True)*, does anyone know why?

The format of the text file is like this (I've also tried spaces rather than
tab to seperate the columns):

TRAPSHANNON_INDEX
1   3.347
2   3.096
3   3.521
4   2.871
5   2.678

The commond looks like this:

Trap1_data-read.table(C:/Documents and
Settings/Samuel/Desktop/Biology/Independent study/Stats/Diversity
indices/shannon index results trap 1.txt, Header = True)

I would reall appreciate some help,
Yours,
Sam

Re: [R] Replacing NAs in one variable with values of another variable

2011-08-24 Thread StellathePug
Thank you Dan and Ista!

Both of you are correct, I should have used NA rather than NA in my
example. So the correct code should be:

X -as.data.frame(matrix(c(9, 6, 1, 3, 9, NA, NA,NA,NA,NA,
   6, 4, 3,NA, NA, NA, 5, 4, 1, 3), ncol=2))
names(X)-c(X1,X2)  

X$X1[is.na(X$X1)] - X$X2[is.na(X$X1)] 

Where the last line replaces the missing observations of X1 by those of X2.
The if else statement also works.

Thank you very much, again!
Rita

[R] ddply from plyr package - any alternatives?

2011-08-24 Thread AdamMarczak
Hello everyone,
I was asked to repost this again, sorry for any inconvenience.

I'm looking replacement for ddply function from plyr package. 
Function allows to apply function by category stored in any column/columns.

Regular loops or lapplys slow down greatly because my unique combination
count exceeds 9000. Is there any available solution which allow me to apply
function by category? 

currently my code looks like snippet below 

ddply(myData, c(country_name, product_name), myFunction) 

Please note that I'm looking for decently performing resolution. 

Thanks in advance! 

With regards, 
Adam.

Re: [R] R (stats) newcomer.... help!

2011-08-24 Thread geigercounter120
Many thanks for your response.

unfortunately, it appears that I'm the closest thing in the vicinity to a
local expert (chilling times indeed...), but i will certainly look at the
booklist

in terms of the number of data points, we have:
two shores,
three treatments,
three replicates of each treatment (arranged in a randomised block design),
Shore A housed 6 species (total of 54 samples)
Shore B housed 4 species (total of 36 samples)

I do wish to treat each species as a separate comparison, so will look at
nlme for more info of how to do this.

many thanks again.

[R] Regression by factor using sapply

2011-08-24 Thread elh
Apologies for the elementary nature of the question (yes, I'm another
newbie)...

I'd like to perform a multiple regression on a single data set containing a
representation of energy consumption and temperatures containing account
number, usage (KWh), heating degree days (HDD) and cooling degree (CDD)
days.  I want to get the coefficients back from the following equation:  
lm(AvgKWh ~ AvgHDD + AvgCDD, data=usage)

Given that the data set contains the usage of different accounts (e.g. some
large energy users and some small energy users) I do not want to perform the
equation just one time.  Instead, I want to re-calculate the coefficients
(and associated measures of goodness of fit) for each account using the same
equation and return the corresponding coefficients by the account number
identifier.   

I thought I had figured out how to do this using  by and sapply formula
but I keep getting an error message of: $ operator is invalid for atomic
vectors

Here is what I've bee trying to use
# data is stored in a table called usage; other than the ActNo field,
all the fields are numeric
byDD - function(data) {lm(AvgKWh~ AvgHDD + AvgCDD, data=data)}
byActNo - by(usage, usage$ActNo, FUN=byDD)
sapply(byActNo, summary(byActno)$coef)

Thanks in advance!  I'm sure a similar question has been covered somewhere
but everytime I follow the message stream I hit a deadend.

[R] Append a value to a vector

[R] as.numeric() and POSIXct format

Hi!

I'm confused by this:

I guess the problem is that as.numeric() assumes a different origin, but cannot 
find
any default origin.

How can I get back the seconds from the POSIXct format? In other words, which 
the inverse function of as.POSIXct()?
I've tried as.numeric and unclass() using a origin= argument, but this does not 
work.


Thanks

Agus

[R] help with by command

2011-08-24 Thread amalka
Hello,

I am a new user of R, and I'd be grateful if someone could help me with the
following:

I would like to compute the mean of variable trust in dataframe foo, but
separately for each level of variable V2.  That is, I'd like to compute the
mean of trust at each level of V2.

I have done this:

 tmp - by(foo, foo$V2, function(x) mean(foo$trust, na.rm=T))
tmp

Doing this does indeed give me a mean for variable trust at each level of V2
- but the problem is that I get the exact same mean for each level of V2. 
The means are not the really the same across levels of V2, but instead of
getting the mean for each level of V2 I get the overall mean for the
variable in the dataframe listed over and over for each level of V2.  

I have been attempting to figure this out for a while now, but I just can't
seem to figure it out.

Thanks for your time!
Ari
