[R] unique combinations

2011-12-21 Thread Antje Niederlein
Hi there,

I have a vector and would like to create a data frame, which contains
all unique combination of two elements, regardless of order.

myVec - c(1,2,3)

what expand.grid does:

1,1
1,2
1,3
2,1
2,2
2,3
3,1
3,2
3,3

what I would like to have

1,1
1,2
1,3
2,2
2,3
3,3

Can anybody help?

[R] access sublists by a variable

2011-11-16 Thread Antje Gruner
Dear list,

I'd like to access the elements of a list within another list with the
help of a variable.

dict - list(  24 = c(1,2,3,6,12,24,48,72,96,120,144,168,720),
  168 = c(1,12,24,48,72,96,120,144,168,336,504,672),
 8760 = c(1,24,168,730,4380,8760)
)

dict$24 works fine, but

a - 24
dict$a

returns  NULL

Unfortunately dict[a] does not work for me, because I see no possibility
to access the inner elements of list 24 in that case
i.e. dict[a][1] returns the whole list and not the first element.

What is the correct syntax to access those elements with the help of a
variable?
Thanks in advance

Antje

[R] How to find position in bin-data?

2011-03-19 Thread Antje Niederlein
Hi there,

probably there is a very simple solution, but I cannot think of one...

I have a vector with values:

data - c(1,6,3,4,8,4,2,9)

and I have a vector with bin breaks:

bins - c(1,3,5,7,9,11)

Now, I'd like to get for each data point the index of the bin-vector
where the value falls in (or equals the lower bin break).

In the example case, I'd like to get:

c(1,3,2,2,4,1,5)

How would you solve it?

 Use cut.  For example,

 data - c(1,6,3,4,8,4,2,9)
 bins - c(1,3,5,7,9,11)

 result - cut(data, breaks=bins, right=FALSE)
 as.numeric(result)

 Anybody who can help me with this issue?

 did you post your data? I was curious so I thought I may look
 but you need to post data so people can determine if they
 can produce and fix your problem. Any complaints
 about bad/ singular matricies are likely to depend on data
 being bad in some way.

Re: [R] fitdistr question

2011-02-11 Thread Antje Niederlein
Hi Ingmar, hi Dennis,

okay, you're right. I was expecting that the result would give the
best fit to my data even if it's not a real poisson distribution. It
looks somehow similar...
But how to judge the goodness of fit? I was using the residual sum of
squares. I'm not a statistician, so I'm not sure whether this method
is the one to choose...
If I estimate lambda with mle2() and use the RSS as criteria to
minimize, my lambda is much smaller that with fitdistr().

I'm happy about any suggestion!

Re: [R] fitdistr question

Yes, I understand.
If I have a distribution which is not listed in fitdistr() but I still
would like to you compute the ML estimate.
Would it be correct to maximize the following function?

sum( log( dens_mydistr(x, my_distr_param)))

As I said, I try to step into this field by reading and trying things
and I'm not sure whether I got it right how to find the ML-function of
a more complex distribution...

 The ML estimate is of course made under the assumption that the data stems
 from a Poisson distribution, and under that assumption, the ML estimate is
 most efficient and unbiased compared with other estimates.

[R] mle question

2011-02-01 Thread Antje Niederlein
Hello,


I tried to use mle to fit a distribution(zero-inflated negbin for
count data). My call is very simple:

mle(ll)

ll() takes the three parameters, I'd like to be estimated (size, mu
and prob). But within the ll() function I have to judge if the current
parameter-set gives a nice fit or not. So I have to apply them to
observation data. But how does the method know about my observed data?
The mle()-examples define this data outside of this method and it
works. For a simple example, it was fine but when it comes to a loop
(tapply) providing different sets of observation data, it doesn't work
anymore. I'm confused - is there any way to do better?

Here is a little example which show my problem:

# R-code -

lambda.data - runif(10,0.5,10)

ll - function(lambda = 1) {
cat(x in ll(),x,\n)
y.fit - dpois(x, lambda)

sum( (y - y.fit)^2 )

}

lapply(1:10, FUN = function(x){

raw.data - rpois(100,lambda.data[x])

freqTab - count(raw.data)
x - freqTab$x
y - freqTab$freq / sum(freqTab$freq)
cat(x in lapply, x,\n)
fit - mle(ll)

coef(fit)
})

Can anybody help?

Re: [R] Warning with mle

2011-01-28 Thread Antje Niederlein
Hi Ben,

thanks a lot for your answer.

  There are four reasonable solutions to your problems:

 1. ignore the warnings, as long as they are all of the
 same type (NaNs/NAs being produced by dbinom or dpois),
 and as long as the final results look sensible.

probably fine for me. The fit for my dummy data was nice, but for the
real data it's not so nice... (see below - other ideas...)

 2. use method=L-BFGS-B and set lower and upper bounds
 on your parameters (this can be a little bit finicky because
 L-BFGS-B will often try parameters *on* the boundary, and
 it can't handle NAs or infinities, so you may have to set
 the lower and upper bounds a little bit in from their theoretical
 limits (e.g. 0.002 instead of 0).

I tried it but even if I use the following statement, I get the
warnings with confint()

fit - mle(ll, method = L-BFGS-B, lower = c(0.001,0), upper = c(Inf,1))

I added the output of the current parameters for my ll-function and
obviously the second parameter goes far beyond the limit. Is there
anything wrong with how I tried to set the limits?
Is it possible that mle() takes the boundaries into account but
confint() does not?

 3. Fit your parameters on the transformed scale (typically logit
 for probabilities, log for Poisson intensities).  This will cause
 problems if the parameter really lies on the boundary, e.g.
 if the best estimate of your zero-inflation parameter is zero
 or very close to it.

Not my prefered solution (I'm too new to this area and afraid to do
anything wrong)

 4. Use the pscl package, which has reasonably robust and
 efficient built-in functions for fitting zero-inflated (and
 hurdle) models.

I played around with it but I cannot find a way how to simply estimate
the parameters for my distribution. My data is simply discrete
histogram data (counts) and I'm probably too stupid to put it into a
model... If you can give me any hint - I would be happy.

Other ideas concerning my approach: Do I use the right criteria to
minimize on (so far I use the sum of squared errors). May it make
sense to use the pearsons chi-squared test? (Is there any easy way to
do it in R?)

[R] Warning with mle

2011-01-27 Thread Antje Niederlein
Hi there,

I'm pretty new to the field of fitting (anything). I try to fit a
distribution with mle, because my real data seems to follow a
zero-inflated poisson distribution. So far, I tried a simple example
to see whether I understand how to do it or not:

# example count data
x - 0:10
y - dpois(x, lambda = 1.4)

# zero-inflated poisson
zip - function(x, lambda, prop) {
 (1 - prop)*dpois(x,0) + prop*dpois(x,lambda)
}

ll - function(lambda = 2, prop = 0.9) {
y.fit - zip(x, lambda, prop)

sum( (y - y.fit)^2 )
}

fit - mle(ll)


So far, so good. The result gives me

lambda   prop
   1.41.0

which is pretty nice.

But what goes wrong if I want to display confidence intervals? I get a
lot of warnings but I simply don't know why...

confint(fit)

Has it something to do with constraints for my parameters (lambda
should be  than zero and prop should range from 0 to 1)? Do I have to
put it into the ll-function?

Is there any general comment on what I'm doing?

[R] Changing style for groups in xyplot

2010-02-24 Thread Antje Steller
Hello,
I have a (hopefully) quick question concerning the xyplot function.

The xyplot works very fine for me - I am using it to display functions
of two variates depending on several other factors. I am therefor also
using the groups argument, so that the symbols in each panel appear in
different colors.

Now I would like to change how the different groups are displayed - now
they are circles in different colors, and I would like to change those
colors.

Can you tell me how to do this?

my complete xyplot command right now looks like this:

xyplot(a ~ b| t*h, groups=r, xlab=Zyklen, ylab=Riss [%],
auto.key=list(lab=levels(r),columns=3))

Thank you very much,

Re: [R] explanation for left-side behaviour

2009-12-02 Thread Antje

Hi Don,

thanks for your answer. Okay, I should have mentioned the error messages 
I get for case 1 and 2 - sorry.
I was just surprised because the following does not give an error 
(though I feed with the factor vector):


substr(values,2,3)

[1] bc bc bc cd cd cd de de de

Obviously, the factor vector is converted to character somewhere, no?
I get the same result when typing:

substr(as.character(values),2,3)

So, the restriction that substr cannot take anything else than a 
character vector seems to be only in case I want to use the replace 
functionality instead of just extracting a substring. At least, that is 
my guess..


Ciao,
Antje




Don MacQueen wrote:

Read the help page for substr().
It says that the first argument should be a character vector.
The only one that works is the one where you gave it a character vector.

You said only third one works. But you didn't explain what you mean 
by works. It's always a good idea on r-help to show both what you 
expected, and what you actually got, so that people can understand 
exactly what the question is.


To explain a little further, let me number your three approaches.

[1]  substr(values,2,3) - ..

[2] substr(as.character(values),2,3) - ..

values - as.character(values)
[3] substr(values,2,3) - ..

With regard to case [1]
It makes no sense to replace character substrings in a factor. factors 
are really numbers, not characters. It's just that they have 
additional attributes that make them (sometimes) print as if the were 
characters. But they're not. And the error message (that you didn't 
report) says exactly that.


With regard to case [2]:
values and as.character(values) are not the same thing.
Therefore, replacing substrings in as.character(values) is not the 
same as replacing substrings in values. In this case, I would 
interpret the error message to indicate that R is trying to replace 
characters in a function. That makes sense, because you supplied a 
function, namely, as.character().


Case [3] works because you supplied a character vector.

Antje:

Three comments:
1. I think your 'factor' is actually 205/6, not 34.16667.

2. This looks like another case of FAQ 7.31:

# Let's take your d2 and create d1; I'll call them x and y:
x - rep(c(29:38, 40), c(7, 24, 50, 71, 24, 12, 14, 7, 13, 5, 1))
y - x * 6 / 205

# x is your d2, sorted
# y is your d1, sorted

# The critical values are x[202:203] and y[202:203];
x[201:204]
#[1] 35 35 36 36

# The boxplot stats are:
sx - boxplot.stats(x)$stats
sy - boxplot.stats(y)$stats

# Calculate potential extent of upper whisker:
ux - sx[4] + (sx[4] - sx[2]) * 1.5  #36
uy - sy[4] + (sy[4] - sy[2]) * 1.5  #1.053658536585366

# Is y[203] = uy?
y[203] = uy
#[1] FALSE  #!!!

y[202] = uy
#[1] TRUE

# For x:
x[203] = ux
#[1] TRUE

And there's your answer: for y the whisker
goes to y[202], not y[203], due to the inevitable
imprecision in machine calculation.

3. last comment: I would not use boxplots for data like this.

 -Peter Ehlers



Hi Peter,

thanks a lot for your explanation! Now I understand the difference. I 
was using the boxplot statistic to filter outliers from my data. Do you 
have any suggestion for me what to use instead? (I tried to improve the 
estimation of mean and sd, when iteratively removing outliers by boxplot 
stats...)

[R] HTML help missing?

Hey there,

I'm running R 2.10 on Windows XP (Professional) and I was wondering 
where the HTML help window disappeared?
With earlier versions everything was fine. Now I get only this 
old-fashioned text windows without any links when I type

?some_function
Can anybody help me?

This isn't really a mac or windows thing, actually. Although this 
method may have worked for you in the past, it's generally not 
recommended to use libraries compiled from one R version in another. 
Using the same libraries between 2.9.X to 2.9.X+n is fine, but doing 
the same when going from 2.9 to 2.10 is not a good idea.


for Windows, the FAQ tells exactly this way when upgrading the R version 
(http://cran.mirroring.de/bin/windows/base/rw-FAQ.html#What_0027s-the-best-way-to-upgrade_003f)

Or did I missunderstood anything?



So, in short, you should updated/reinstall your packages now that 
you've updated R.


An easy way to do that would have been to save a file of all packages 
installed from 2.9, then use that file to reinstall those packages 
from within 2.10. Here's a recipe to do that now (assuming R 2.9 is 
still installed on your system).


You can use RSwitch to switch which version of R is active at a 
time, available here:

http://r.research.att.com/RSwitch-1.1.dmg

1. Fire up RSwitch and pick R 2.9
1.5. I have these two functions I use when I want to be lazy:

installedPackages - function(to=~/R.packages.dump.txt) {
  writeLines(installed.packages()[,1], con=to)
}

reloadPackages - function(from=~/R.packages.dump.txt) {
  source(http://bioconductor.org/biocLite.R;)
  packages - readLines(from)
  biocLite(packages)
}

2. Call installedPackages() from within R 2.9 and quit
3. Use rswitch to make R 2.10 active
4. Open R 2.10 and run reloadPackages()

biocLite is a function to install bioconductor packages, but it also 
installs normal cran packages. You can likely replace the call to 
biocLite with a call to install.packages(packages) if you don't have 
any bioc packages to install, if you like, although it shouldn't be 
necessary.


It might take a while to d/l all your packages again, but it should 
just work


Thanks a lot for this recommendation. I'm just afraid it won't help this 
time. It seems to me that the old version was overwritten with the new 
installation but I don't know how to find out...

Next time, I might do it this way...

Re: [R] nls - find good starting values

2009-07-14 Thread Antje

Hi Bill,

thanks for your answer.

I don't see what you mean with fitting a gaussian distribution...

I'm pretty sure, that I'd like to fit a gaussian probability density 
function :-) (not normalized, for example with a mean around -4 and a 
standard deviation of 0.5)
I'm not sure if I understand your solution with the quadratic regession 
model...

Maybe my approach is completely wrong but I didn't know any other solution.
Anyhow, I've solved the issue so far with the while-construct.

Antje


bill.venab...@csiro.au wrote:

It is not at all clear what you are trying to do.

Fitting a gaussian distribution is the simplest problem in all of statistics: 
the sample mean and sample variance (divisor n) are the mle's of the two 
parameters involved.  No non-linear regresson is required.

If what you are really trying to do is fit a (normalized?) gaussian probability 
density function as a form of non-linear regression, i.e. by least squares, 
that is an entirely different problem.  I'm a bit stumped as to how this form 
of non-linear regresion should arise, particularly with equal variance both for 
values near the mode as well as in the tails, but stranger things have 
happened, I suppose.  What I would do is, if you response values are 
non-negative, take logs and regress using a quadratic regression model, and 
then identify the approximate mean and variance parameters, which should then 
be reasonable starting values for the non-linear regression.  Negative 
responses will pose a problem, of course.

Hi there,

it might be a very simple question and I'd be glad to even get a link to
some useful documentation...
I have several data sets, I'd like to fit to a gaussian distribution.
I've tried to give an estimate of the mean and the sd of this
distribution but still, I run into problems if these estimates are not
close enough.

For example, nls() breaks with this message:
singular gradient matrix at initial parameter estimates

I don't know how to avoid these bad start values because their estimate
is automated. Better start values are often quite close.

I was wondering whether there is any way to test several start-values as
long as nls does not succeed.
I would do it with a while construct but maybe there is another approach?

Any hint is very welcome!

[R] Counting the number of cycles in a temperature test

2009-07-06 Thread Steller, Antje (GQL-LM)
Hello dear R-users,
today I have a question that I completely do not know how to solve (R-newbie!).

In a temperature chamber I have measured temperature over time. The result is 
shown in the attached eps-file (if attachments are shown): There are two 
temperature levels, 150°C and -40°C. A complete cycle includes about 30 minutes 
upper temperature, quick change to the lower level, 30 minutes hold at lower 
level. Then the temperature rises again to the upper level and a new cycle 
begins. About 500 cycles have been completed. 

How can I count the number of cycles that have been completed?

The data does not only include perfect temperature cycles. Once in a while the 
machine would stand still and for a day or so the temperature would remain at 
room temperature. So I cannot simply divide the measured time by the duration 
of a cycle...

Thanks a lot for your support, if necessary I could also provide the dataset.

[R] nls with weights

2009-06-17 Thread Antje

Hi there,

I don't have much experience with fitting at all and I'd like to get 
some advice how to use the weights-argument with nls correctly.


I have created some data with a sigmoidal curve shape. Each y-Value was 
generated by the mean of three values. A standard deviation was 
calculated too.


Now, I'd like to weight the data points respective to its standard 
deviation. If this is very high, the datapoint should be considered less 
important than a datapoint with a low standard deviation.


I've tested it with the following code but I'd like to know whether I 
should change anything applying the weights. I've only guessed what 
could give a nice result...


Further, I'd like to know, why I get an error message, if I change the 
bottom-parameter to min(yData)??? Can anybody explain, why it ends up with:


singular gradient

8 --- 8

sigmoid - function(x, bottom, top, slope, logec50) { bottom + (top - 
bottom) / (1 + 10^((logec50-x)*slope)) }



xData - seq(-10,10,1.2)
yData1 - sigmoid(xData,10,1,-0.2,3) + rnorm(1:length(xData), sd = 0.5)
yData2 - sigmoid(xData,10,1,-0.2,3) + rnorm(1:length(xData), sd = 0.2)
yData3 - sigmoid(xData,10,1,-0.2,3) + rnorm(1:length(xData), sd = 1.1)
yMat - rbind(yData1, yData2, yData3)

yData - apply(yMat, 2, mean)
yDataSd - apply(yMat, 2, sd)

plot(yData ~ xData, ylim = c(min(yData - yDataSd), max(yData + yDataSd)))
arrows(xData, yData - yDataSd, xData, yData + yDataSd, angle = 90, 
length = 0.1, code = 3)


# without weights
model - nls(yData ~ sigmoid(xData,bottom, top, slope, logec50), start = 
list(bottom = yData[1], top = max(yData), slope = 0.5, logec50 = 
median(xData)), trace = TRUE)


lines(xData, predict(model), col =blue)

# with weights
model - nls(yData ~ sigmoid(xData,bottom, top, slope, logec50), start = 
list(bottom = yData[1], top = max(yData), slope = 0.5, logec50 =

Hi Uwe,

I don't see any documentation which tells me that the length of

If it's equal or longer some colors (in the middle of the

Just try the example below with rainbow(5) and rainbow(6) and compare 
the results... both plot will use 5 colors!
Sorry, but this behaviour is not really self-explaining to me... maybe 
I'm to blind to find the documentation which says that only one color 
less will ensure the usage of all colors.


Well, of you have 5 at locations (i.e. breaks), then you have 4 
intervals in between and that's the amount of colors that is sensible.


From the documentation this was not really clear to me (though it makes sense, 
I agree)





(It is so important for me because I need to display a heatmap with 
colors let's say

* all lower data outliers green,
* all higher data outliers blue and
* everything else within the color range yellow to red.
I've seen that some values do not get blue or green though they are 
outliers...

I've attached one graph, I've generated - maybe it helps to understand)

Any wrong assumption?


Maybe:

Say you want everything below -1 be considered as a lower outlier and 
all above 1 is a higher outlier, then you can say:



levelplot(matrix(c(1,2,0,-2), nrow=2),
at = c(-Inf, seq(-1, 1, length=10), Inf),
col.regions = c(rgb(0,1,0),
 hcl(seq(20, 80, length=10), c=400),
 rgb(0,0,1)))

Then below -1 is green (rgb(0,1,0)), above 1 is blue (rgb(0,0,1)) and in 
between we have 10 regions from -1 to 1 each with a color between some 
kind of yellow and red in hcl() space.


Thank you for this little example. Just two comments:

1) I was not aware of the possibility to use Inf - it just has the 
disadvantage that these colors are not displayed at the color vector (maybe 
this can be adjusted somehow)


2) if you replace one number of the matrix with -1, it will be displayed green.
So it would be considered as an outlier. From the documentation it was also not 
clear to me that the lower endpoint of the interval is always excluded (except 
for the very first value of the at-vector), while the upper endpoint will be 
included. (This also makes sense but in this case I have to slightly modify my 
data because I'd like to include both endpoints of my non-outlier-range...)


Anyway, I guess, I solved all problems and found a workable solution :-)

Ciao,
Antje

Re: [R] levelplot question

2009-05-05 Thread Antje

Hi Greg and all the others,

thanks for your answer. The color-vector has the same length like the at-vector 
but the recycling cannot be the reason, because only values slightly above my 
threshold doe not appear blue.
I cannot find a good explanation of which colors are assigned to which value 
ranges.


I've made little example:

#
mat - matrix(seq(1,5, length.out = 12), nrow = 3)
mat[1,2] - 3.5

my.at - seq(0.5,5.5)
my.col.regions - rainbow(6)

graph - levelplot(t(mat[nrow(mat):1, ] ), at = my.at, col.regions = 
my.col.regions)

print(graph)

windows()
plot(1:10)
legend(topleft, legend = as.character(my.col.regions), col = my.col.regions, 
pch = 18)

#

As you can see the green (position 3 in my.col.regions) disappears completely 
in the levelplot (look at the color range at the right side!).

I guess it might also happen in my case...

I've tested several cases and it looks like the length of the color-vector 
should be one less than the at vector (which would make sense).


Then, the rule might apply:

[ at[1],at[2] ] = color[1]
( at[2],at[3] ] = color[2]
...
( at[n-1],at[n] ] = color[n-1]


Please correct me if I'm wrong!!!

[R] levelplot question

2009-05-04 Thread Antje

Hi there,

I have a question concerning the behaviour of the colouring with levelplot. (I 
hope, I manage to explain)


If I give the parameters at and col.regions like this:

at - c(1,2,3,4,5,6)
col.regions - c(blue,blue,blue,yellow,yellow,yellow)

Which color would have the value 3.5?
I would have expected yellow, no?

In my more complex example I wanted to create a heatmap (like yellow to red) up 
to a fixed threshold. All values above should get another color (like blue).

Automatically, I generated both vectors like this:

at -c(vectorOfLowerValues, myThreshold, vectorOfHigherValues)
col.regions -  c(vectorOfHeatmapColors, lastHeatmapColor, vectorOfColorblue)

But I get some values above the threshold which are not blue... Can anybody 
explain me why? (I've checked the length of both vectors and it's parts - this 
is correct - so 'myThreshold' would get 'lastHeatmapColor' by the same vector 
position)


I'm very confused...

[R] levelplot question

2009-05-04 Thread Antje

@Dieter:

 You implicitly expect round().

 Your question implies that you may also susceptible to the problem of
 R FAQ 7.31, Why doesn't R think these numbers are equal?

No, I guess, you misunderstood my question. These vectors (at and col.regions) 
are given to levelplot together with some data which should be visualized.
I don't know how exactly levelplot works (I was asking for help to understand 
it) but somehow it creates something like bins from at and uses col.regions 
to display all datavalues within the same bin with the according color.
I'd like to know, which color to expect from levelplot for a certain datavalue 
(3.5)


Did I explain it somehow clear now?

[R] levelplot help needed

2009-02-27 Thread Antje

Hi there,

I'm looking for someone who can give me some hints how to make a nice 
levelplot. As an example, I have the following code:


# create some example data
# --
xl - 4
yl - 10

my.data - sapply(1:xl, FUN = function(x) { rnorm( yl, mean = x) })

x_label - rep(c(X Label 1, X Label 2, X Label 3, X Label 4), each = yl)
y_label - rep(paste(Y Label , 1:yl, sep=), xl)

df - data.frame(x_label = factor(x_label),y_label = factor(y_label), values = 
as.vector(my.data))


df1 - data.frame(df, group = rep(Group 1, xl*yl))
df2 - data.frame(df, group = rep(Group 2, xl*yl))
df3 - data.frame(df, group = rep(Group 3, xl*yl))

mdf - rbind(df1,df2,df3)

# plot
# --

graph - levelplot(mdf$values ~ mdf$x_label * mdf$y_label | mdf$group,
aspect = xy, layout = c(3,1),
scales = list(x = list(labels = substr(levels(factor(mdf$x_label)),0,5), 
rot = 45)))

print(graph)

# --


(I need to put this strange x-labels, because in my real data the values of the 
x-labels are too long and I just want to display the first 10 characters as label)


My questions:

* I'd like to start with Y Label 1 in the upper row (that's a more general 
issue, how can I have influence on the order of x,y, and groups?)

* I'd like to put the groups at the bottom

Can anybody give me some help?

not, please tell me where I can find help.


I have a spare dual-core machine which run Windows XP Professional and is 
nearly unused (nearly! Unfortunately, I cannot change OS).
And I'm investigating Knime (knime.org) to set up data analysis workflows. They 
have some nodes to execute R on a remote machine. Is it possible to run R on 
this windows machine, so that I can call it from somewhere else?

[R] need some lattice help

2009-01-27 Thread Antje

Hello everybody,

I just started with lattice plots and I was wondering why it behaves different 
than expected.

If I generated multiple plots in the past, I just used some code like this:

lapply(..., {
windows()
plot(...)
})

I got multiple windows, each containing one plot.

Now, I tried the same with levelplot (instead of plot) and I see all 
windows are created but the plots are only drawn in one window, one on top of 
the other...


Can anybody give me a hint, why it behaves like this and what should I change?

Ciao,
Antje

[R] heatmap with levelplot

2009-01-26 Thread Antje

Hi there,

I'd like to create a heatmap from my matrix with
a) a defined color range (lets say from yellow to red)
b) using striking colors above and below a certain threshold (above = green, 
below = blue)


Example matrix (there should be a few outliers generated...) + simple levelplot 
without outliers marked:


library(lattice)
my.mat - matrix(rnorm(800), nrow = 40)
threshold - c(-1,1) # should be used for the extreme colors
colorFun - colorRampPalette(c(yellow,red))
levelplot(my.mat, col.regions = colorFun(50))


I don't know how to handle the extrem values...

Can anybody help?

Re: [R] heatmap with levelplot

2009-01-26 Thread Antje
I played a little bit around and got the following solution which works for 
now, though it seems to be too complicated to me.

If anybody else know another solution - please let me know!!!


library(lattice)
my.mat - matrix(rnorm(800), nrow = 40)

colorFun - colorRampPalette(c(yellow,red))

b - boxplot(my.mat, plot = FALSE)
thr - c(b$stats[1],b$stats[5])
col.bins - 100
step - abs(thr[2] - thr[1])/50

limit - ifelse(min(my.mat)  thr[1] - step, min(my.mat) - step, min(my.mat))
lp - rev(seq(thr[1] - step, limit - step, -step))
mp - seq(thr[1], thr[2], step)
limit - ifelse(max(my.mat)  thr[2] + step, max(my.mat) + step, max(my.mat))
up - seq(thr[2] + step, limit + step, step)

my.at - c(lp,mp,up)

my.col.regions - c(rep(green, length(lp)), colorFun(length(mp)), rep(blue, 
length(up)) )


levelplot(my.mat, at = my.at, col.regions = my.col.regions)

[R] merging several dataframes from a list

2009-01-21 Thread Antje

Hi there,

I have a list of dataframes (generated by reading multiple files) and all 
dataframes are comparable in dimension and column names. They also have a 
common column, which, I'd like to use for merging. To give a simple example of 
what I have:


df1 - data.frame(c(LETTERS[1:5]), c(2,6,3,1,9))
names(df1) - c(pos, data)
df3 - df2 - df1
df2$data - c(6,2,9,7,5)
df3$data - c(9,3,6,2,1)
mylist - list(df1,df2,df3)
names(mylist) - c(df1,df2,df3)

 mylist

$df1
  pos data
1   A2
2   B6
3   C3
4   D1
5   E9

$df2
  pos data
1   A6
2   B2
3   C9
4   D7
5   E5

$df3
  pos data
1   A9
2   B3
3   C6
4   D2
5   E1

If I use do.call(cbind), I'll end up with something like this

   pos data pos data pos data
1   A2   A6   A9
2   B6   B2   B3
3   C3   C9   C6
4   D1   D7   D2
5   E9   E5   E1


but now, I don't know anymore which data comes from which dataframe... and I 
have the column pos multiple times...


Instead I'd like to have it like this:

   pos df1 df2 df3
1   A2   6   9
2   B6   2   3
3   C3   9   6
4   D1   7   2
5   E9   5   1

How, can I realize it? (The list, I'm working with has not just 3 data frames 
like given in my example, so I need to automize it)

Hi Henrique,

cool solution - that's seems to be the easiest way!
though I thought there should be some possibiliy of multiple merge

Anyway, this will do it for now!

[R] from matrix to data.frame

2009-01-20 Thread Antje

Hello,

I have a question how to reshape a given matrix to a data frame.

# --
 a - matrix(1:25, nrow=5)
 a
 [,1] [,2] [,3] [,4] [,5]
[1,]16   11   16   21
[2,]27   12   17   22
[3,]38   13   18   23
[4,]49   14   19   24
[5,]5   10   15   20   25

 colnames(a) - LETTERS[1:5]
 rownames(a) - as.character(1:5)
 a
  A  B  C  D  E
1 1  6 11 16 21
2 2  7 12 17 22
3 3  8 13 18 23
4 4  9 14 19 24
5 5 10 15 20 25

# ---

This is an example on how my matrix looks like.
Now, I'd like to reshape the data that I get a data frame with three columns:

- the row name of the enty (X1)
- the column name of the entry (X2)
- the entry itself (X3)

like:

X1  X2  X3
1   A   1
2   A   2
3   A   3

1   B   6
2   B   7

5   E   25

How would you solve this problem in an elegant way?

Re: [R] Find all numbers in a certain interval

2008-12-16 Thread Antje

Hi,

sorry, but it shouldn't be different. The result should be the same but I was 
looking if there is a method I can use...


# having a function defined like baptiste proposed:
isIn -
function (interval, x)
{
(x  min(interval))  (x  max(interval))
}

#--


a - rnorm(100)

# it's simply more human readable if I can write

which( isIn( c(-0.5, 0.5), a) )

# instead of

which( a  -0.5  a  0.5 )

Thanks to baptiste! So there is no method available doing this and I have to 
define this by myself. That's all I wanted to know :-)

Re: [R] Find all numbers in a certain interval

Hi David,

thanks a lot for your proposal. I got a lot of useful hints from all of you :-)

David Winsemius schrieb:


It's not entirely clear what you are asking for, since 
which(within.interval(a, -0.5, 0.5)) is actually longer than which(a  
-0.5  a  0.5). 


Right but in case 'a' is something with a long name and '0.5' is a variable you 
might end up with something like this (for the data frame example):


DF[which( DF$myReallyLongColumnName  -myReallyLongThreshold  
DF$myReallyLongColumnName  -myReallyLongThreshold ), ]


instead of:

DF[which( within.interval(DF$myReallyLongColumnName, myReallyLongThreshold), ]

You mention that you want a solution that applies to
dataframes. Using indexing you can get entire rows of dataframes that 
satisfy multiple conditions on one of its columns:


  DF - data.frame(a = rnorm(20), b= LETTERS[1:20], c = letters[20:1], 
stringsAsFactors=FALSE)


  DF[which( DF$a  -0.5  DF$a  0.5 ), ]
  # note that one needs to avoid DF[which(a  -0.5  a0.5) , ]
  # the a vector is not the same as the a column vector within DF
 a b c
3  -0.47310672 C r
6  -0.49784460 F o
9   0.02571058 I l
10  0.16893759 J k
11 -0.11963322 K j
12  0.39378887 L i
16  0.03712263 P e

Could get the indices that satisfy more than one condition:
  which(DF$a  0.5  DF$b  K)
[1]  1  2  6 10

Or you can get rows of DF that satisfy conditions on multiple columns 
with the subset function:


  subset(DF, a  0.5  b  K)
   a b c
1  2.2500997 A t
2  0.7251357 B s
6  0.7845355 F o
10 1.0685649 J k

Or if you wanted a within.interval function

  within.interval - function(x,a,b) { x  a  x  b}

  which(within.interval(DF$a, -0.5, 0.5))
[1]  3  4  7  8  9 13 14 17 20

Re: [R] Legend and Main Title positioning

2008-12-08 Thread Antje
Thank you very much for your help! That code does exactly what I was looking 
for ( I don't have experience with lattice yet )


Ciao,

[EMAIL PROTECTED] schrieb:

layout(matrix(c(1,2,3,4), nrow = 2, byrow = TRUE))
plot(rnorm(100))
plot(rnorm(200))

Now, I'd like to create a legend below each plot and generate a common 

title.

How can I do that?


If you are laying plots out in grids like this then lattice graphics are 
generally the way to go, but here's a solution based upon base graphics. 
The trick is to include extra potting space in your layout for the 
legends.  The code is messy, since it requires you to manually specify 
which cell of the layout to plot into, but I'm sure guven some thought you 
can automate this.


#4 space for plots, 4 for legends
layout(matrix(1:8, nrow = 4, byrow = TRUE), heights=rep(c(3,1),4))

#Check the layout looks suitable
layout.show(8)

#Avoid clipping problems, and create space for your title
par(xpd=TRUE, oma=c(0,0,2,0))

#First plot
plot(rnorm(100))

#Move down and plot the first legend
par(mfg=c(2,1))
legend(0,0, legend=foo, pch=1)

#Repeat for the other plots and legends
par(mfg=c(1,2))
plot(rnorm(200))
par(mfg=c(2,2))
legend(0,0, legend=bar, pch=1)

par(mfg=c(3,1))
plot(rnorm(300))
par(mfg=c(4,1))
legend(0,0, legend=baz, pch=1)

par(mfg=c(3,2))
plot(rnorm(400))
par(mfg=c(4,2))
legend(0,0, legend=quux, pch=1)

#Title for all the plots
title(main=4 plots, outer=TRUE)

[R] Legend and Main Title positioning

2008-12-05 Thread Antje

Hi folks,

can anybody give me a hint how to solve the following problem?
I have several plots in one window like this:

layout(matrix(c(1,2,3,4), nrow = 2, byrow = TRUE))
plot(rnorm(100))
plot(rnorm(200))
plot(rnorm(300))
plot(rnorm(400))

Now, I'd like to create a legend below each plot and generate a common title.
How can I do that?

[R] levels update

2008-12-05 Thread Antje

Hello,

I hope this question is not too stupid. I would like to know how to update 
levels after subsetting data from a data.frame.


df - data.frame(factor(c(a,a,c,b,b)), c(4,5,6,7,8), c(9,1,2,3,4))
names(df) - c(X1,X2,X3)

my.sub - subset(df, X1 == a | X1 == b)
levels(my.sub$X1)

# still gives me a,b,c, though the subset does not contain entries with 
c anymore


I guess, the solution is rather simple, but I cannot find it.

a lot more self-explanatory.  See ?[.factor.  However, if you find 
yourself wanting to do this, ask why you have a factor (rather than a 
character vector) in the first place.

Hello Annette,

that explains everything... Thank you! I just thought having an English version

Ciao,
Antje


Annette Heisswolf schrieb:

Hei,

in the FAQ on R for Windows it says:


3.4 I selected English for installation but R runs in Chinese.

Precisely, you selected English for installation! The language of the 
installer has nothing to do with the language used to run R: this is 
completely standard Windows practice (and necessary as different users 
of the computer may use different languages).


The language R uses for menus and messages is determined by the 
locale: please read the appropriate manual (the R Installation and 
Administration Manual) for the details. You can ensure that R uses 
English messages by appending LANGUAGE=en to the shortcut you use to 
start R, or setting it in the Rconsole file. 


That should apply to your problem, too...

Hi Dieter,

thanks a lot for looking inside my code though it was not executable...(sorry 
for that).
Finally, I found a rather stupid mistake. My original code did not use the 
variable i for the second boxplot. So the second round actually plotted two 
different data at the two calls...

so it had nothing to do with the par(new...)

here some executable bug-free code :-)



mydata - list(rnorm(100, mean=0.5, sd=0.1), rnorm(100, mean=0.7, sd=0.15))

lapply(c(1,2), FUN=function(i) {
windows(7,7)
use_col - c(blue)
gridlines - seq(0.1,2.0,0.1)
par(mar=c(12, 4, 5, 2))
bpars - list(yaxt = n, las = 2 )
boxplot(data.frame(mydata[[i]]), col=use_col, pars= bpars )
abline(h = gridlines, col=lightgray, lty=2)
abline(h = 1, col=red, lwd=3)

I do not fully understand what you want to do, but in each case you overwrite
your files. Try something like:

png(filename = paste(test,i,.png), width = 450, height = 600)

and think over again why you need the par(new=TRUE). And please, make your
examples self-running, for example by adding

mydata = rnorm(100)

even if you probably have more complex data.

Did you mean xlim = c(-4,4) in that statement, rather than '-'?


True, I made a mistake here. Still, I have problems to visualize my data (not

Another example code with creating a strange plot:

x - rnorm(100) + 100
maxval - max(x)
boxplot(x, notch=TRUE, xlim = c(0,maxval), horizontal = TRUE)

Any idea?

Re: [R] how to set rownames / colnames for matrices in a list

2008-09-23 Thread Antje
Thanks for the hint with the dimnames. I found a rather similar problem in 
the mailing list solved like this:


x - matrix(1:4,2)
y - matrix(5:8,2)

z - list(x,y)
nm - c(a,b)
nms - list(nm,nm)

z - lapply(z,function(x){
dimnames(x)-nms
x
})

Is there anything wrong using a list instead of an array???

Hi,

If all your matrices have the same size, you should work with an array 
and not with a list. Then you can use dimnames to set the names of the 
rows, columns, and so on..

[R] tryCatch question

2008-09-12 Thread Antje

Hi there,

I have a nested call of lapply in which I do a tryCatch statement like this

lapply(1:length(p_names), function(w_idx) {
r - as.numeric(pos_r[[w_idx]][1])
c - as.numeric(pos_c[[w_idx]][1])
pos - c(r,c)
lapply(1:length(p_names[[w_idx]]), function(p_idx, pos) {
parameter - p_names[[w_idx]][[p_idx]]
value - p_vals[[w_idx]][[p_idx]]

tryCatch({ as.numeric(value) }, warning = function(ex) { value})
oad$resultValues[[parameter]][pos[1],pos[2]] - value
NULL
}, pos) 
})

(sorry, that I don't have a simple test code here...)
the tryCatch shall convert a value in a number if this makes sense (so 3.3 
should be converted, but not hello; all values are strings)


if I simply execute something like this:

value - 3.3
tryCatch({ as.numeric(value) }, warning = function(ex) { value})

it works pretty nice. but within the lapply construct I always end up with 
strings.
Does anybody have an idea why? (I can try to create a simple testcode for this 
but maybe there is already someone who knows what's wrong?

Re: [R] another XML package question

2008-09-08 Thread Antje

Hi Duncan,

thanks a lot for your explanations.

I tried the following now to understand a bit more:

data - getNodeSet(doc, //Data)
xmlName(data[[1]])
xmlName(xmlRoot(data[[1]]))
xpathApply(data[[1]], ./*, xmlName)

Is it right that using data in the xpathApply() somehow sets the current node 
but does not change the root?
So looking for a subnode at all levels below my current node is not possible 
with the xPath syntax? (search on all levels starting from root is possible 
with //nodename)

As with your previous question, there are ways to do this
with either XPath queries or R functions that operate on
the nodes from the earlier queries.

By xmlPath, let's assume you mean the ordered collection of
nodes from the node to the root node of the document,
i.e. the collection of ancestor nodes.
So using XPath, you could use

   a = getNodeSet( node, ancestor::*)

where node is the R variable containing the node within the tree
whose ancestors you want, e.g.
getNodeSet(doc, //val)[[1]]

The nodes in are in reverse order.


You can do the same thing with the R function
xmlParent().  To get the ancestors,

  tmp = xmlParent(node)
  ans = list()
  while( !is.null(tmp)) {
  ans = c(ans, tmp)
  tmp = xmlParent(tmp)
  }

and of course in your case you could terminate the loop
at any point.


But a different approach to the problem is to use a more specific
XPath query in the first place to get only the nodes of interest.
For example, to get the val nodes in the second data node of
your example, you could use

  getNodeSet(doc, //data[2]/val)

or to find all val nodes which have the attribute  i = t2,

   getNodeSet(doc, //[EMAIL PROTECTED]'t2'])

Or to find all val nodes with an ancestor which have an ancestor
with an attribute name loc

 getNodeSet(doc, //[EMAIL PROTECTED]'1']//val)



(
The  sample XML document was

root
   data loc=1
 val i=t1 22 /val
 val i=t2 45 /val
   /data
   data loc=2
 val i=t1 44 /val
 val i=t2 11 /val
   /data
/root

)

The answer is it depends, specifically on what version of
the XML package you have.
In version 1.96-0 (the latest release), yes.
There is code also in the package (but overriden)
that creates a new temporary tree with the given node as the
root of the new tree (but without copying the nodes).
But the former is most likely what is desired.


So looking for a subnode at all levels below my current node is not
possible with the xPath syntax? 


It is possible

  getNodeSet( data[[1]], .//*)



allright, I didn't try this (I assumed that the // means everything below 
root...)

Now, I can do what I was looking for.

Thanks a lot for everything!



does that. The // means any level. BTW, it doesn't match text
nodes, so you might want
  .//*|.//text()|.//processing-instruction()
for completeness (or maybe not!)

The key thing is that when you supply a node (and not the document)
as the first argument of getNodeSet() or xpathApply(), the XPath
query should be a relative query, e.g. .//* rather than //*.

And the reason for keeping the root the same is so that we can do

  getNodeSet(data[[1]], ancestor::*)
or
  getNodeSet(data[[1]], ../foo)

i.e. have an XPath expression that refers to nodes higher up the tree.

is possible with //nodename)

[R] XML - get node by name

2008-09-07 Thread Antje

Hi there,

I try to rewrite some Java-code with R. It deals with reading XML files. I 
started with the XML package. In Java, I had a very useful method which gave me 
a node by using:


name of the node
index of appearance
start point: global (false) / local (true)

So, I could do something like this.

setCurrentChildNode(data, 0);
getValueOfElement(val,1,true);
-- gives 45

setCurrentChildNode(data, 1);
getValueOfElement(val,1,true);
-- gives 11

getValueOfElement(val,1,false);
-- gives 45

root
  data loc=1
val i=t1 22 /val
val i=t2 45 /val
  /data
  data loc=2
val i=t1 44 /val
val i=t2 11 /val
  /data
/root

Now, I'd like to do something like this in R. Most important would be to 
retrieve a node just by its name, not by the whole path. How is it possible?


Can anybody help me with this issue?

Re: [R] XML - get node by name

2008-09-07 Thread Antje

Thanks a lot to Gabor and Duncan!

I didn't know that XPath is a standard. I'll give it a deeper look to better 
understand it.


Oh, I guess I understand a bit more

xpathApply(doc, //val, function(n) xmlValue(n))

would search globally for all nodes named val and return its values :-)
So that's excactly what I was looking for. Not caring about the exact location 
of a node.

I think, in my case it should be okay, to parse for nodes just by their names.

Thanks again!

@ Ajay: Sorry, but I was looking for a solution with R
@ Dirk: I already used the XML package but didn't know the possibilities to 
access data as I was used to.

Warning message:

The explanation is pretty simple. 

freq determines whether or not the histogram is of counts or probability 
densities.  Since you used plot=FALSE, you aren't plotting anything, so 
freq does nothing.


Oh, I didn't realize that it's a pure display parameter. I thought calculation 
would depend on this parameter. Anyway, I had a strange problem but currently I 
cannot reproduce, which led me somehow to this warning (I had problems to get a 
customized y-range).
