Re: [R] Subtracting POSIXct data/times

2010-06-14 Thread Don MacQueen
See the help page for the difftime() function, which will tell you 
how to specify the units of the differences.

(when you don't specify, it chooses the units according to some rules)

I have two dataframe columns of POXIXct data/times that include seconds.
I got them into this format using for example
zsort$ETA - as.POSIXct(as.character(zsort$ETA), format=%m/%d/%Y %H:%M:%S)

My problem is that when I subtract the two columns, sometimes the
difference is given in seconds, and sometimes it is given in minutes. I
don't care which it is, but I need to know which one I will get.

Re: [R] how can I control the x-axis tick labels

Try:

  plot(, xaxt='n',   )

You might also need to use the  label argument to axis()

Re: [R] A primitive OO in R -- where next?

2010-05-13 Thread Don MacQueen
This is not really OO at all, in my opinion. It's an example of the 
amazing flexibility of the language.


I'd like to add on to what Erik said, with an example:


 sum(1:10)

[1] 55


 foo - sum
 foo(1:10)

[1] 55


 junk - list(a=sum)
 junk$a(1:10)

[1] 55

sum is an R object; it happens to be a function.

When I do
  foo - sum
I'm creating another R object. It's also a function, so I use it with 
the same syntax.


When I do
   junk - list(a=sum)
I'm creating another R object. It's a list, and its first element, 
named 'a', is a function.
Since the element is a function, I use it just like any other 
function, i.e, follow its name with a pair of parentheses with 
arguments between them.


Note that in the last example it doesn't matter what the other 
elements in the list, if any, are. I could just as well do

  junk - list( foo=data.frame(x=1:4), b=c('x','y'), dd=sum)
Then
  junk$dd(1:10)
  junk$dd( junk$foo$x )
are valid statements. There's no connection between using 'junk' both 
inside the parentheses and outside. Since junk$dd is a function, you 
can supply it with any R object, and it doesn't matter where that R 
object comes from.


I doubt that it's documented in the way you might be expecting. It's 
a result of the generality of list elements -- they can be any R 
object.


Hope this helps.
-Don

That sort of thing (much more sophisticated) must be documented
mind-blowingly somewhere. Where?

Where I stand right now: The above (and its immediately obvious
generalisations, like Obj$Fun-cos) is all I know about it so far.

Re: [R] / Operator not meaningful for factors

2010-05-04 Thread Don MacQueen

At 3:50 PM -0700 5/3/10, John Kane wrote:
 I think that you are correct.  R has the annoying habit of 
converting character data to factors when you don't want it to while 
it is importing data.  This is because the in the option 
stringsAsFactors is set to TRUE for some weird historical reasons.





Well, annoying is in the eye of the beholder. The reason is not 
weird at all; the original S language, upon which R is based, was 
designed first for statistical analysis. When the language was 
expanded to include advanced modeling capabilities (linear models, 
generalized linear models, and more) it became apparent that factors 
are the appropriate form for using categorical data in such models. 
it is still the R Project for Statistical Computing (see the R home 
page), so the default is unchanged.


Hence, when users get factors when they were expecting numbers, it's 
virtually always because the have some non-numeric character strings 
mixed in with the data. R then defaults to interpreting it as 
categorical data, represented as a factor.

Re: [R] Event History Data Recoding

2010-04-23 Thread Don MacQueen
The reshape() function would be used to reorganize your event history 
data set so that the Discussion and Agreement dates are one above the 
other in the same column, presumably with another variable to flag 
which is which (although you don't seem to need that).


Then, separately, you read your information data into R, reorganize 
it into the same structure as the reshaped event history, and then 
append it to the reshaped event history (using the rbind() function), 
and finally, sort.


That's my best guess given what you've shown. But there are puzzles, 
i.e., dates in the inputs that are not in the output, and dates in 
the output that are not in the input. Event=0 shows up in the output 
but not in the input. The information dataset doesn't have event 
numbers.


Reading the information file into R and reorganizing into columns 
with the correct structure for appending looks tricky.

Hi everyone,

I have been searching for answers for the following questions but I don't
have much success. The following questions may actually be quite simple. Any
help would be greatly appreciated.

(1) I have written a script which requires user input. I am using the
readline() command.However, everytime when I run the script, R does not wait
for the user input and proceed to the next line. Is there something like
par(ask=T) to solve this problem?

(2) In my script, I want it to stop running when a certain condition is met.
I have tried using the stop() function, but apparently R only stops reading
that line and start reading the following lines. I have also thought about
quit() but it is not quite what I want. May someone please lead me to the
right function please?


Use  if()

## beginning of script

## various R that always run

if ( condition is met) {
  ## here is where we stop
  cat('My condition is met, I am stopping\n')
} else {
  cat('My condition is not met, I am continuing\n')
  ## put here all the commands that should run when the condition is not met
}



(3) When a minor error happens, I would like to get the user permission by
pressing the return key before the script continues to run. What function
should I be looking at?


Use the
  try()
function to control what happens when an error happens



Many thanks,
Chris

Re: [R] SSH Through R Script

2010-04-09 Thread Don MacQueen

When I do what you're describing, I get prompted for my password:

 system('ssh -l  usernm rmthost')
   use...@rmthost's password:

After I enter my password, nothing seems to happen. But if I hit 
ctrl-c then I get a command line prompt, and it turns out that it's a 
shell prompt on the remote host. I can issue standard unix commands, 
and they execute on the remote host. To get back into R on my local 
host I type 'exit'.


Or:

Here's a couple of lines from one of my scripts that might help ...

cmd - 'ssh -l username remotehost /bin/lpstat -a'
lprs - read.table(pipe(cmd),fill=TRUE,as.is=TRUE)[,1]

I get prompted for my password when I source these lines on my local host.

With the result that the lprs object has the names of printers 
available on the remote host.

Hi,

I am trying to SSH to a remote server through R script. In other words, I
would like to know how I can get a SSH connection to the remote server and
then execute commands on that server with the R script.

So in bash, I would normally type ssh -lusername remoteserver.com; press
enter and then wait for the password prompt to key in my password.

I have tried system(ssh remoteserver.com) but that doesn't work because,
from what I know, SSH requires user interactivity - I am required to key in
my password.

I tried looking up about putting password as a command line parameter, but
SSH doesn't allow that, my only option then is to set up a private/public
key pair. But the admin of the remoteserver doesn't allow me to do that.

Is there a way in which I can SSH in? Or is there a command in R that allows
me to interact with the command prompts interactively?

thanks,

Re: [R] help in attach function

You can also read the help page for the conflicts() function. And try 
a commend like

   find('acid')
(or any of the objects listed as being masked)
to find out where the two or more objects with the same name are located.

Oh, and looking at ?search would be good also.

Re: [R] Using GIS data in R

2010-04-01 Thread Don MacQueen
I'm currently doing a lot of simple GIS work in R, including points 
in polygon queries. My .Rprofile file has


   require(maptools)
   require(rgdal)

With that as a starting point, I find that the data structures play 
well together.


Define a coordinate reference system object with
 crs.ll -  CRS('+proj=longlat +ellps=GRS80 +datum=NAD83 +no_defs')

Load a shapefile with

  my.shp - readOGR('directoryname','filename',  p4s=CRSargs(crs.ll) )

This will give you an object of class SpatialPolygonsDataFrame. 
readOGR() is in the rgdal package.


readShapeSpatial or readShapePoly from the maptools package should 
work as well, and I used to use them, but lately I've been using 
readOGR().


Then the overlay() function in the sp package will do your #2. But I 
do think you'll need your points to be one of the SpatialPoints 
classes.



Omitting the p4s argument from readOGR() might work, I'm not sure.
Or, I think you might be able to just supply the text string, i.e.,
p4s='+proj=longlat +ellps=GRS80 +datum=NAD83 +no_defs'
but I have found it handy to have several projections predefined, as in
 crs.ll -  CRS('+proj=longlat +ellps=GRS80 +datum=NAD83 +no_defs')
 crs.utm - CRS('+init=epsg:32610')
for use in the spTransform() function.

Also, your question would go better on R-sig-geo mailing list.

A final note, some plotting functions need to have the sp package 
earlier in the search() path than maptools.

Re: [R] removing text form the graph(outer region)

2010-03-24 Thread Don MacQueen
You have to look at the documentation for the function you used to 
create the calibration plot. Find out what options it has for 
controlling what text appears, and use them. If there are no options, 
then maybe there is a graphics parameter [ see help('par') ] that 
will prevent them. Otherwise, you will probably have to reconstruct 
the plot yourself using basic plotting functions.


Or, assuming you used a plotting function from some package, contact 
the package author or maintainer.

Re: [R] Are loops handled differently in newer versions of R?

2010-03-16 Thread Don MacQueen

Try

for ( i in seq(nrow(lab8.dat)) )
p_unadj[i]-calc.prob.t(lab8.dat[i,2], lab8.dat[i,3])

The first column of lab8.dat is a factor, and you're trying to use it 
as a loop index as if it were an  integer. (Which I would consider 
dangerous.)


No, loops are not handled differently, but automatic conversion of 
factors to numeric apparently is.

Re: [R] Are loops handled differently in newer versions of R?

2010-03-16 Thread Don MacQueen
Joshua's explanation of rownames makes a lot more sense than my 
speculation about conversion to numeric. Rownames of dataframes is an 
area in which there have definitely been changes in R in the last 
year or two, give or take. (I don't recall details or timing)


Therefore, I find it very plausible that in R 2.8.x the rownames of 
your dataframe were different than they are now in R 2.10.x, given 
how you constructed the dataframe. This then would be the explanation 
of why the script worked in 2.8.x and not in 2.10.x.

Michael,

I have to agree with Don that using a factor as a loop index seems
like a risky choice.  At any rate, part of the problem is that you are
referencing a nonexistant part of your dataframe.  i is an index of
characters, but your rownames are 1:5, not LETTERS[1:5].  If you give
your dataframe rownames, you can then use your loop, see below.


locn-c(A, B, C, D, E)

Re: [R] using sprintf to pass a variable to a RMySQL query

2010-03-08 Thread Don MacQueen

I always use paste()

i - 1

WHERE scaffold.scaffold_id=scaffold2contig.scaffold_id AND
scaffold2contig.contig_id=contig2read.contig_id AND
contig2read.read_id LIKE '%MG, i ,%', sep='')

That should create bits like
   LIKE '%MG1%'
   LIKE '%MG2%'
and so on.

You just have to get the nesting of the single and double quotes 
correct - the SQL requires single quotes, so use double quotes for 
the fixed character strings insidte paste(). That, and use sep='' to 
get rid of unwanted space characters.


Using paste is also effective for constructs like
  IN (3,4,5)
or
  IN ('a','b','c')
though it can be necessary to nest one paste within another

Re: [R] Why can't apply be used with as.factor on a data.frame ?

2010-03-07 Thread Don MacQueen

And just a small followup. To find out what class each column is, you wanted


 lapply(a,class)

$x1
[1] numeric

$x2
[1] factor

$x3
[1] factor

With regard to your solution, and why it works, it is my 
understanding that data frames are in some sense actually lists, each 
column corresponding to one element in a list.


Hence, lapply() works column-wise on data frames.

Also for this reason it's pretty easy to convert back and forth 
between data frames and lists . Provided, of course, that each 
element of the list has an appropriate structure; see this example:



 data.frame( list(a=1:2, b=3:4) )

  a b
1 1 3

Hi all,

Let's say I have a data.frame and wants to turn each of it's columns into a
factor.
My instinct would be to use as.factor with apply. But this won't work, and
result with a data.frame of characters.
I found another solution for how to achieve this, but I would also like to
understand - *WHY* does it work this way?

Here is an example script:
a - data.frame(x1 = rnorm(100), x2 = sample(c(a,b), 100, replace = T),
x3 = factor(c(rep(a,50) , rep(b,50
apply(a2, 2,class) # why is column 3 not a factor ?
a[,3]  # since it IS a factor.
a2 - apply(a, 2,as.factor) # won't work - why not ?
a2[,3]  # Why was this just turned into a character ???
# A solution
a2 - lapply(a, as.factor)
a3 - as.data.frame(a2)
str(a3)

 as.Date('17/02/2005','%d/%m/%Y')

(Read the documentation more carefully to distinguish between %y and 
%Y;  I guess you tried lots of combinations but never tried the 
correct one, so just be more careful at matching what your data is 
with the format string you create.)

Re: [R] A slight trap in read.table/read.csv.

2010-02-28 Thread Don MacQueen

There is, however, an important distinction.

Quoting from ?TRUE  (or ?logical):

'TRUE' and 'FALSE' are reserved words denoting logical constants
 in the R language, whereas 'T' and 'F' are global variables whose
 initial values set to these.  All four are 'logical(1)' vectors.


 TRUE - 3

Error in TRUE - 3 : invalid (do_set) left-hand side to assignment

In other words, the rule is
  T is TRUE unless otherwise defined by the user
(ditto for F)

So this rule apparently applies to input from a file. Using 
colClasses is then an example of otherwise defined by the user.


I think it's logical (pun not particularly intended) and consistent 
(though perhaps not ideal, but that's another question...)

 I had occasion recently to read in a one-line *.csv file that

 CandidateName,NSN,Ethnicity,dob,gender
 Smith, Mary Jane,111222333,E,2/25/1989,F

 That F (for female) in the last field got transformed to
 FALSE.  Apparently read.csv (and hence read.table) are inferring
 that if the entries of a file are all F's and T's then the
 field is interpreted as logical.

 If I change the file to

 CandidateName,NSN,Ethnicity,dob,gender
 Smith, Mary Jane,111222333,E,2/25/1989,F
 Mingdinkler, Melvin Queue,999888777,01/04/1942,M

 then the read functions correctly interpret the last field
 as being character.

 The translation of F into FALSE resulted in some mysterious
 contretemps in further analysis, which it took me a while to
 track down.

 I solved the problem by putting in a colClasses argument in my
 call to read.csv().  But I really think that the read functions
 are being too clever by half here.  If field entries are surrounded
 by quotes, shouldn't they be left as character?  Even if they are
 all F's and T's?

 Furthermore using F's and T's to represent TRUE's and FALSE's is
 bad practice anyway.  Since FALSE and TRUE are reserved words it
 would make sense for the read function to assume that a field is
 logical if it consists entirely of these words.  But T's and F's
  I don't think so.

 I would argue that this behaviour should be changed.  I can see no
 downside to such a change.

Re: [R] Preserving lists in a function

2010-02-26 Thread Don MacQueen
,
variable3=c(0.1,0.1,0.1,0.1),
variable4=TRUE)
if(length(list1$variable1)==0){list1$variable1=defaults$list1$variable1}
if(length(list1$variable2)==0){list1$variable2=defaults$list1$variable2}

if(length(list3$variable4)==0){list3$variable4=defaults$list3$variable4}

return(list(list1=list1,list2=list2,list3=list3))}

The outcome of execution the above function with the same commands 
produces the results that we wanted:

 myfunction.alternative( list1=list  (variable1=1,

+ variable2=2), #variable 3 deliberately left out
+
+ list2=list  (variable1=variable1,
+ variable3=position changed,
+ variable2=variable2),
+
+ list3=list  (variable1=character,
+ variable2=24,
+ variable4=FALSE)) #variable 3 deliberately left out
$list1
$list1$variable1
[1] 1

$list1$variable2
[1] 2

$list1$variable3
[1] 3
 #list1$variable3 is assigned default despite being left out in the 
execution command



$list2
$list2$variable1
[1] variable1

$list2$variable3
[1] position changed

$list2$variable2
[1] variable2


$list3
$list3$variable1
[1] character

$list3$variable2
[1] 24

$list3$variable4
[1] FALSE

$list3$variable3
[1] 0.1 0.1 0.1 0.1
 #list3$variable3 is assigned default despite being left out in the 
execution command


Even though the function works, as you can see, the codes that 
enforce the defaults are very long and bulky. Such lengthy codes 
won't be efficient if we have a write a function containing a large 
number of lists. We tried to come up with ideas to try to shorten 
the codes, but so far none of them prove to be effective.


What would be your recommendation to deal with such situation? It 
would be great if you would be able to help us our with this 
problem. We appreciate your help tremendously.


Thank you.

Sincerely,
Shang

Re: [R] New Variable from Several Existing Variables

2010-02-26 Thread Don MacQueen

If your data is in a matrix named orgdata :

newvar - apply(orgdata , 1, function(arow, if (all(arow=='Yes')) 
'Yes' else 'No'


newdata - cbind(orgdata, newvar)

finaloutcome - newdata[ newvar=='Yes',]


The key to this is the apply() function.

I might have missed some parentheses...

There are other ways; this is just one. I might think of a simpler 
one if I gave it more time...

I am new to R, but have been using SAS for years.  In this transition period,
I am finding myself pulling my hair out to do some of the simplest things.
An example of this is that I need to generate a new variable based on the
outcome of several existing variables in a data row.  In other words, if the
variable in all three existing columns are Yes, then then the new variable
should also be Yes, however if any one of the three existing variables is
a No, then then new variable should be a No.  I would then use that new
variable as an exclusion for data in a new or existing dataset (i.e., if
NewVariable = No then delete):

Take this:
Column1, Column2, Column3
Yes, Yes, Yes
Yes, No, Yes
No, No, No
No, Yes, No
Yes, Yes, No

Generate this:
Column1, Column2, Column3, NewVariable1
Yes, Yes, Yes, Yes
Yes, No, Yes, No
No, No, No, No
No, Yes, No, No
Yes, Yes, No, No

And end up with this:
Column1, Column2, Column3, NewVariable1
Yes, Yes, Yes, Yes

Any suggestions on how to efficiently do this in either the existing or a
new dataset?

Re: [R] How to source files from a search path?

Well, you still will need Sys.getenv() to get the value of the 
environment variable into R.


Are you familiar with the function named list.files() ?

This may do the job:

   source( list.files( Sys.getenv('SOMEENVVAR'), pattern='myfilename') )

But I haven't tested it.

Re: [R] Unexpected output in first iteration of for-loop

2010-02-11 Thread Don MacQueen
You have a mistake in how you're setting up the object named result 
before the loop.


You set result - latentVariableNames. It is a vector of length 6, 
when you call the function with LV. The printout from the first 
iteration shows this.


But then you rbind result with a data frame that has three columns. 
These are basically incompatible, but R (apparently silently) wraps 
the vector of length 6 into two rows of three columns.


Here's an example:


 foo - letters[1:6]
 names(foo) - c('a','b','c')
 foo

   abc NA NA NA
 a  b  c  d  e  f


 rbind(foo, data.frame(a='X', b='Y', c='Z',stringsAsFactors=FALSE))

  a b c
1 a b c
2 X Y Z

What I would do is something like this (untested):

loopCronbach - function(latentVariableNames, groupingVariable) {
  n - length(latentVariableNames)
  tmp1 - tmp2 - numeric(n)

  for (i in 1:n) {
tmp1[i] - calculateIndividualCronbach(get(latentVariableNames[i]))
tmp2[i] - calculateGroupCronbach(get(latentVariableNames[i]), 
groupingVariable)

  }

  result - 
data.frame(latentVariable=latentVariableNames,Indiv=tmp1,Group=tmp2)

  names(result) - c(latentVariable, Indiv, Group)
  result ## no need to use return()
}

Building up a dataframe row by row using rbind() is in general an 
expensive way to do things -- although in this instance it's such a 
small dataframe that it doesn't matter.

Re: [R] trouble with read.table and colClasses='raw'

2010-02-11 Thread Don MacQueen
The error message says there is no method for 
converting from 'character' to 'raw'.
Apparently, R is seeing character data in the 
file, and is trying to convert it to raw, since 
you specified raw, and it can't.


See, for example,

 as('aa','raw')

Error in as(aa, raw) :
  no method or default for coercing character to raw

(same error message)

So I would ask, what are your data, really? Why 
are you asking for raw? Have you checked the help 
page for raw to make sure it's what you want?

Well, it's too complicated for me! Here are what I would do (limited
since I'm still a newbie)

1) the syntax seems correct, it should work. The problem is somewhere
else, coming from your own file. Did you try skipping the colClasses
argument? To see how it looks like... If you can import it that way, try
str(x) to see what you have. It might help you.
2) I've never had that much data to import, and for me read.table works
well.

You might want to wait for the experts!

  I've read the ?read.table and the colClasses argument. I'm still unclear:

 1) colClasses is a character vector, is that right? That seems to be
 what the help says, but I get an error when I do the above.

 2) what is the most efficient way to read in huge amounts of data? In

  I waited on the latter command for a couple of hours before
 killing the

  Should I be using another method to read the data into R? Previous

Re: [R] difftime result for days not an integer?

2010-02-11 Thread Don MacQueen

Which brings up another point.

The help page for difftime specifies that it operates on date-time or 
date objects. But

  '2004-08-05' is neither of these, it is a character object.
At this point, one might ask... I didn't give it what it asked for, 
what is it going to do?

(might give me an error message, might do who knows what, but find out!)

R is pretty good about automatic conversions between types, so it's 
reasonable that difftime()  would convert the arguments to a valid 
type, if it can. But which one, since there are two valid types?


And as we have seen, it is to date-time, not date.

For some, but certainly not all, R functions, details like this can 
be discovered by typing the name of the function at the R prompt, 
without the parentheses.



 difftime

function (time1, time2, tz = , units = c(auto, secs, mins,
hours, days, weeks))
{
time1 - as.POSIXct(time1, tz = tz)
time2 - as.POSIXct(time2, tz = tz)
... etc ...

Re: [R] How to use a string to refer a function?

Don't really understand what you have in mind, but maybe this will do it.

f - function(x=3) x^2

Now, if I want to get the function f, given that I only know its

getf - get('f')

getf(4)

Or even:


 get('f')(5)

[1] 25

Also,


 attributes(getf)

$source
[1] function(x=3) x^2

I have the above simple function. I can use the variable f to refer to
the function and get the function source.

Suppose that I have 'f' as a string (say I get it from ls()), could
somebody let me know how to get the function from the name 'f'?

Re: [R] expand the inside of command with rep ?

2010-02-10 Thread Don MacQueen

To construct the matrix that would result from your cbind() command, do this:


 x - 1:15
 matrix( rep(x,5) , ncol=5)

  [,1] [,2] [,3] [,4] [,5]
 [1,]11111
 [2,]22222
 [3,]33333
 [4,]44444
 [5,]55555
 [6,]66666
 [7,]77777
 [8,]88888
 [9,]99999
[10,]   10   10   10   10   10
[11,]   11   11   11   11   11
[12,]   12   12   12   12   12
[13,]   13   13   13   13   13
[14,]   14   14   14   14   14
[15,]   15   15   15   15   15

This doesn't, of course, use cbind() at all. It uses a different and 
simpler method to directly construct the matrix. You can easily 
generalize it to more columns by using a variable instead of 5 in the 
rep() command, and for the ncol arg to matrix().

Re: [R] Sorting

I have trouble making sense of the question, and I wonder if there is 
a terminology issue.


For example, you have a list like this one:

  mylist - list( v1=1:3, v2=1:4, v3=1:5, v4=1:6)

(That is, a list of vectors of varying lengths.)

You want to apply a function to each pair of vectors:
  First to v1 and v2,
  Then to v2 and v3,
  Then to v3 and v4
?
And also to pairs v1 and v3, v1 and v4, and so on?

Which one is larger, mylist$v1 or mylist$v2? Longer, yes, mylist$v2 
is longer. But larger?


And ultimately you want to have the list with its elements in some other order,
perhaps v4 comes first, then v3, and so on?

Re: [R] Incompatible types error

2010-02-05 Thread Don MacQueen

There appear to be quite a few problems.

The first and most glaring to my eyes is that you initialize four 
vectors, Et, fx, Tx, and Fitness inside the loop. Since you set their 
lengths to 1000, one might assume that the 1000 values are to be 
calculated as the loop index, i, goes from 1 to 1000. But 
initializing them inside the loop each time wipes out any results 
calculated in previous iterations.


Another is that having initialized them to numeric, you immediately 
assign a non-numeric value, that is, Et[i] is defined to be a 
function, not a number.


There are other things, such as defining
  function(Eztx,t,A,n)
and then inside the function immediately setting the value of A to 
Amp, which is defined outside the function. This means that if you 
later use the function, whatever you give to A when you use the 
function will be ignored, and Amp will be used instead.


Then there's the expression runif[i](1,-50,50). But runif is a 
built-in R function, and you really can't use the [i] syntax after a 
function name. For example, suppose i=3. Then

   runif[3]
   Error in runif[3] : object of type 'closure' is not subsettable


Finally, and of much less importance, the c() around c(1:1000) is 
completely unnecessary. It's fine to just do

  for (i in 1:1000) {


I'm kind of guessing you have a fundamental misunderstanding about 
what a function is and does. I'd suggest starting simple and 
gradually building up to something like this. And please try to find 
some local help with R; from what I see you need more help than can 
be effectively given over email.

 Dear R-users,

 I'd like to create filenames in a mask file000.dat numbered from 1 to e.g.
 123. The last problem I'm dealing with is creating the sequence of numbers
 with equal length, i.e. 001, 002, 023, 024, 122, 123.

 The closest I got is by a repetition:

 Sequence - c(1:123)
 for(i in c(1:length(Sequence))) {
 print(
paste(rep(0,
 max(nchar(as.character(Sequence)))-nchar(as.character(Sequence[i]))),
as.character(Sequence[i]),
sep=))
 }

 where pasting 0-replication the missing-times I 'm possibly creating the
 desired output. It's just that rep()'s output is not a vector and not
 subsequent atoms. and gives 02 and 02 instead of 002.

 Any idea hot to correct the function above or suggestions on
 file000.dat-mask filename, please?

 Thank you for your time.

Without reading all the details of your question, it looks like maybe

list_Asfc[[2]] - ssfamed[ssfamed$SPECSHOR=='cotau'ssfamed$BONE=='tm', 3]


And so on for each level of SPECSHOR and BONE

I'm stuck on 2 parts:
- in a loop or something similar, I would like the 1st element of the
list to be filled by the values for the 1st variable with the first
level of my factors (i.e. cotau + tx), and then the 2nd element with the
2nd level (i.e. cotau + tm) and so on. As shown above, I know how to do
it if I enter manually the different levels, but I have no idea which
function I should use so that each combination of factor will be used.
See what I mean?

- I would then like to run it in a loop or something for each variable.
It is by itself not so complicated, but I don't know how to give the
correct name to my list. I want the list containing the data for Asfc to
be named list_Asfc.
Here is what I tried:

seq.num - c(seq(3,5,1)) #the indexes of the variables
for(i in 1:length(seq.num)) {
  k - seq.num[i]
  name.num - names(ssfamed)[k]
  list - list()
  list[[1]] - ssfamed[ssfamed$SPECSHOR=='cotau'ssfamed$BONE=='tx', i]
  list[[2]] - ssfamed[ssfamed$SPECSHOR=='cotau'ssfamed$BONE=='tm', i]
  names(list) - c(cotau_tx, cotau_tm) #I have more and the 1st
question should help me on that too
}

After names(list) I need to insert something like: name_list - list
But I don't know how to give it the correct name. How do we change the
name of an object? Or am I on the wrong path?

Thank you in advance for your help.
Ivan

Re: [R] Question on Merge/Lookup

2010-01-22 Thread Don MacQueen
Perhaps using the R merge() function, possibly twice in succession, 
will do the job. (merge() does a one to many relational join, but 
with only two dataframes at at time).


Or, there is an R package that lets you use the SQL language on 
dataframes. I don't recall its name, but a search on R packages 
should turn it up -- if someone else doesn't provide the name sooner.

Re: [R] R ON Mac

2010-01-14 Thread Don MacQueen
However, for there to be a difference between Mac and PC means that 
something else is going on.


I would guess that the PC is set to a LOCALE for which , is the 
default decimal separator, and the Mac is set to a LOCALE for which 
. is the default decimal separator. (If locale settings affect the 
separator, that is. I don't know for sure whether they do. See 
?locales to start learning more...)


Either that or the input files are different on the two different computers.

by itself. Does it give all FALSE ?

Then look at each of the parts separately. What are the results of

   (as.numeric(as.character(dfpr2_r$pr2)))  0.2
and
   dfpr2_r$landa  10

Are there any TRUE among the results?

Does
   as.numeric(as.character(dfpr2_r$pr2))
give what you expect?

As far as being different from SAS, perhaps SAS and R use different

 a file.info to determine which ones are the directories you want to
 search.  A list.files on that directory will give you the list of file
 names
 that you can then process.

  Dear all,

  I have this directory structure :

 Dir1   Dir2   Dir3  Dir4  .

 C.xml F.xml I.xml

 Within each of these directories (Dir1, Dir2 etc) there are a num of xml
 files (A.xml, B.xml etc).

 What I want to do is to enter into the first directory read all the xml
 files do certain operations come out  of the directory and do the same
 thing
 for another directory. Can anyone help me out ? Thanks in advance for
 any
 suggestions.

Re: [R] R matching lat/lon pairs from two datasets?

2010-01-04 Thread Don MacQueen
I guess you want the subset of data whose lat/long pairs are 
present in data2?


Try renaming your columns so that V1 and V2 are the same in both data 
frames (either lat,long, or long,lat, but not one way in one 
dataframe and the other way in the other one.


Then use merge()

Re: [R] input a list into a function

2009-12-25 Thread Don MacQueen

It works for me, without changes. See below.

But I can recreate your error if I type the plus signs at the 
beginning of second and third lines. For your example, don't type any 
plus signs, except for the one in

   print(g[i]+x)}

By the way, nothing that you did fits the description input a list 
into a function, because you haven't created any lists (your g is 
not a list).

I tried that and found the same problem, however, I found
  write.table(mydata, file=data.csv,col.names=F)

write.csv calls write.table to save data, is there something wrong with it?


No.

If you read the help page you will find that it answers your question. It says:

 'write.csv' and 'write.csv2' provide convenience wrappers for
 writing CSV files.  They set 'sep', 'dec' and 'qmethod', and
 'col.names' to 'NA' if 'row.names = TRUE' and 'TRUE' otherwise.

Notice that it sets col.names for you.
If you want full control, use write.table().
If you want to write a table in a commonly used and pre-defined 
format (and without having to worry about various options) use 
write.csv().


That's why it is a called convenience wrapper.

 One other thing:  the hexView package does a very nice job of displaying
 the file, so you can work out what the structure is if the documentation is
 unclear (or nonexistent).

Use the online help:

   help.search('file')

and then see:

  base::sink  Send R Output to a File

help.search('print') will get you there also, but not as directly.

The cat() function is good also, as Gray mentioned.

Re: [R] Why a list of NULL's are reduced to NULL?

2009-12-11 Thread Don MacQueen

I would study the third party function and learn all the types it can return.

After all if you don't know what type it's going to return, how can 
you possibly make *any* confident use of its output?


Do you actually have this situation? A third part function that is so 
poorly documented that you can't (1) predict the type of its return, 
and (2) learn what its possible outputs are? Is this function from an 
R package downloaded from CRAN?

 It's not that common.  It's pretty bad practice to return different
 types from a function depending on the input parameters.  In many
 languages this isn't even possible.


I know this is a bad practice. But R doesn't have a way to forbid such
thing happen. To program defensively, I have to test even uncommon
case, unless it is impossible. When you use a third party software in
your code, do you just ignore the possibility that a function could
return different types?


 The solution is to write a function that takes the output from the
 first function, inspects it, and coerces all possibilities to the same
 type.


How do you figure out all the possibilities?


You can look at its code. You can try the entire range of inputs you 
anticipate giving to it (you are in charge of the inputs, so you can 
do this). You can talk to the person who wrote it (if that person is 
not available, and the function is just some anonymous thing you got 
from somewhere, you probably shouldn't place any confidence it its 
correctness).

Re: [R] Please help with a basic function

2009-12-11 Thread Don MacQueen

At 8:19 AM -0600 12/11/09, Mark Na wrote:

Hello,

I am learning how to use functions, but I'm running into a roadblock.

I would like my function to do two things: 1) convert an object to a
dataframe, 2) and then subset the dataframe. Both of these commands work
fine outside the function, but I would like to wrap them in a function so I
can apply the code iteratively to many such objects.

Here's what I wrote, but it doesn't work:

convert-function(d) {
 d-data.frame(d); #convert object to dataframe
 d-subset(d,select=c(time,coords.x1,coords.x2)) #select some columns
}
convert(data) #the problem is that data is the same as it was before
running the function



Objects (variables, data frames, etc) inside a function are in a 
different environment than those outside the function, and changes 
inside do not affect the outside unless you explicitly make it 
happen. In other words, you changed d inside the function, but did 
nothing to cause it to change data outside the function.


Change your function like this

convert-function(d) {
 d-data.frame(d); #convert object to dataframe
  ## no need to assign to d in the next line
 subset(d,select=c(time,coords.x1,coords.x2)) #select some columns
}

Then do:

  data - convert(data)


Or the function could be

convert-function(d) {
 d-data.frame(d); #convert object to dataframe
 d -  subset(d,select=c(time,coords.x1,coords.x2)) #select some columns
 d
}


The use of return() as suggested in another response is unnecessary. 
Functions return the value of their last expression, though possibly 
invisibly if the last expression is an assignment. For example;


 ick - function(x) {
  x^2
 }


 ick(4)

[1] 16

 ick(3)

[1] 9


 ick - function(x) {
  y - x^2
 }


 foo - ick(4)
 foo

[1] 16

The invisible return as in the second case is something I hadn't 
noticed before, and may deserve some reading of documentation.


-Don





The objects being processed through my function are SpatialPointsDataFrames
but I'm quite sure that's not my problem, as I can process these outside of
the function (using the above code) ... it's when I try to wrap the code in
a function that it doesn't work.

Thanks, Mark

read.table() gives you a data frame. You are assuming it is a matrix, 
so change it into a matrix.

 In Leopard from a terminal, you can try

 to open as many copies of the app as you like.  Be careful though,
 because these inherit environment variables from the terminal

Re: [R] explanation for left-side behaviour

2009-12-01 Thread Don MacQueen

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.

Hi there,

I'm pretty sure that it's written down somewhere but I cannot find it so far.

The little example shows different approaches to replace a

with the fact that substr is used on the left side. Can anybody 
refer to an explanation for this behaviour?


Thanks a lot in advance!

Antje



values - factor(c(rep(abc,3), rep(bcd,3), rep(cde,3)))

substr(values,2,3) - ..

You don't see the standard deviations because 
only the final result (the output of summary() in 
your case) is output by the function, not the 
intermediate results (the results of the apply() 
function in your case).


Try this:

Re: [R] non-intuitive behaviour after type conversion

2009-11-23 Thread Don MacQueen
When you attach() something, it loads it into memory and there it 
stays. It is not a link, reference, or pointer to the original. 
Changing the original (the version in the dataframe), which is what 
you did, does not change the attached copy in memory. In essence, you 
did a type conversion on one copy, but afterwards started looking at 
the other copy.


See also an interjected comments below.

Deal list,
I have a data frame (birth) with mixed variables (numeric and 
alphanumeric).  One variable t1stvisit was originally coded as 
numeric with values 1,2, and 3.  After attaching the data frame, 
this  
is what I see when I use str(t1stvisit)


$ t1stvisit: int  1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 2 2 ...

This is as expected.
I then convert t1stvisit to a factor and to avoid creating a second 
copy of this variable independent of the data frame I use:

birth$t1stvisit = as.factor(birth$t1stvisit)
if I check that the conversion has worked:
is.factor(t1stvisit)
[1] FALSE
Now the only object present in the workspace in the data frame 
birth and, as noted,  I have not created any new variables. So why 
does R still treat t1stvisit as numeric?

is.factor(t1stvisit)
[1] FALSE

Yet when I try the following:

 is.factor(birth$t1stvisit)

[1] TRUE
So, there appears to be two versions of t1stvisit  - the original 
numeric version and the correct factor version although ls() only 
shows birth as present in the workspace.


Right.
  find('t1stvisit')
will show you there are two of them, and where in memory they are located.
If you type
   t1stvisit
at the prompt, you always get the first one. The one in the attached 
dataframe is the second one. Use the

  search()
function to show you the different locations in memory where objects 
can be found.


When you did the attach(), did you get a message like:


 attach(tmp)


The following object(s) are masked _by_ .GlobalEnv :

 x

(yours would have referred to your variables, not the x in my example).
That message tells you you have two variables of the same name, 
stored in two different locations in the search path.


As a general rule, it's just plain confusing to have more than one 
object of the same name in more than one location. In your situation, 
I would get rid of the one that's not in the dataframe. But even 
then, if you change it in the dataframe you'll still need to detach 
and re-attach the dataframe, so using attach() is probably not the 
best choice in the long run. Maybe the with() function would meet 
your needs.



If I type:

 summary(t1stvisit)

   Min. 1st Qu.  MedianMean 3rd Qu.Max.NA's
  1.000   1.000   2.000   1.574   2.000   3.000  29.000
I get the numeric version, but if I try
summary(birth$t1stvisit)
   123 NA's
 180  169   22   29
I get the factor version.

Frankly I feel that this behaviour is non-intuitive and potentially 
problematic. Nor have I seen warnings about this in the various text 
books on R.

Can anyone comment on why this should occur?

Re: [R] how can one break or stop or return from a script?

2009-11-16 Thread Don MacQueen

I don't know how to do this in the way you describe.

Easy alternatives include:

 - putting the part of the script that is to be executed 
conditionally into a separate file, and then source it or not based 
on some condition.

  - simply wrapping the different parts of the script in if, then, else blocks.

[R] Utility function to rotate log files?

2009-11-13 Thread Don MacQueen
I am wondering if there is a CRAN package that includes a utility 
function that will rotate file names, in the same sense that 
operating systems sometimes rotate log files. Or maybe there's 
something in base R.


That is, we have a set of file names, say file1, file2, file3, and 
when the function is called, file3 is deleted, file2 is renamed 
file3, file1 is renamed file2, and the name of file1 is returned to 
the user's script, which then writes to file1.


I've done some searching (RSiteSearch) but haven't found anything.

Thanks

Re: [R] Change working directory

2009-11-13 Thread Don MacQueen

In R for Macintosh, there is a Preferences setting that will do this.
You can also drag and drop a file onto the R icon and I believe it 
will change the working directory to the directory that contains the 
file.


On unix-like systems, using the command line, it's whatever directory 
you start R in.


I don't use R on Windows, so I don't know there, but I imagine there 
may be a preferences setting, or perhaps the drag and drop method 
works. Or maybe create a shortcut in the directory you want to be the 
working directory?

Note the format specifies that the argument 1:99 should be formatted

Importantly, note that the result is a character vector and not

Re: [R] Complicated For Loop (to me)

2009-11-09 Thread Don MacQueen

You're looking for the assign() function.

See the first example in the help page for assign()

Something like
  assign( paste( j,'.cd',i,'es.wash',sep='') , 1 )
instead of
   names.cd[i].es.wash - 1

paste() assembles the name as a character string, and then assign() 
assigns a value to a variable with that name.

Re: [R] Help with RGDAL

2009-11-04 Thread Don MacQueen
I did this recently with a kyngchaos binary build of rgdal, 
rgdal_0.6-12.tgz and R 2.9.2.


I'll assume you have current rgdal binary package file in a directory 
somewhere.

(looks like 0.6-18 is current)

Here is what I did (with version 0.6-12).
Note that I work from the command line, not from the R Gui, but it 
should work either way.


cd to the directory containing the rgdal file.
Start R (type R at the command line)
At the R command prompt, give the command

   install.packages( 'rgdal_0.6-12.tgz' , type='binary', repos=NULL)

That should do it, assuming any and all resources required by rgdal 
are already installed, and installed in places where the kyngchaos 
rgdal expects to find them. This is pretty well documented on the 
kyngchaos webpage, and it looks like you've been paying attention to 
that, since you already installed GDAL (the kyngchaos framework build 
of GDAL, right?) The kyngchaos build of rgdal may have other 
requirements besides GDAL, I don't remember.

Re: [R] convert list to numeric

2009-11-02 Thread Don MacQueen

An example will help show the difference between single vs. double brackets.

## xl is  a list with three elements

 xl - list( a=1:3, b=2:7, c=c('X','Y'))
 xl

$a
[1] 1 2 3

$b
[1] 2 3 4 5 6 7

$c
[1] X Y





## with single brackets, we get a subset. A subset of a list is still a list

 xl[1]

$a
[1] 1 2 3

## extract the first element of xl, as itself, whatever it is

 xl[[1]]

[1] 1 2 3

## with single brackets, we get a subset. In the next example the subset
## consists of the first and third elements of xl, i.e., a list 
having two elements

 xl[c(1,3)]

$a
[1] 1 2 3

$c
[1] X Y


## Similarly for data frames, and note how the formatting is 
different when the object

## is printed to the screen


 xd - data.frame( a=1:3, b=2:4, c=c('X','Y','Z'))
 xd

  a b c
1 1 2 X
2 2 3 Y
3 3 4 Z

 class(xd)

[1] data.frame


 xd[2]

  b
1 2
2 3
3 4

 class(xd[2])

[1] data.frame


 xd[[2]]

[1] 2 3 4

 class(xd[[2]])

[1] integer

Re: [R] Help - Probability scale on an ECDF plot

2009-10-27 Thread Don MacQueen
You need to tell the mailing list what you have tried. That way you 
will get better help.


Here is one solution.


 foo - rnorm(1000)
 probs - seq(0,1,.1)
 foo - rnorm(1000)
 bah - quantile(foo,probs)
 plot(bah,probs)


But it turns out that
   ?ecdf
tells you there is an ecdf function. And then
   plot(ecdf(foo))
gives an ECDF plot with a probability scale on the y axis.
(So it's hard to imagine what you were doing that didn't give you a 
probability axis)

 how can I add letters NIR to my variable, because my 600 
 independents never

 have NIR as the prefix. however, it is needed to model the plsr.   for
 example aa=plsr(y~NIR, data=data ,), the prefix NIR is 
 necessary, how

  can I do with it?


Perhaps using paste(). Maybe something like:

   paste('NIR', 1:600,sep=''.)
or
   paste('NIR', seq(1686,1700,2),sep='.')


 
 I'm not really sue that I'm getting you, but if your problem is that 
 the column names of your data.frame don't match the variable names 
 you'd like to use in your formula, just change the colnames of your 
 data.frame to match your formula.


 BTW - I have no idea where to get this gasoline data set, so I'm just 
 imagining:


 eg.
 colnames(gasoline) - c('put', 'the', 'variable', 'names', 'that', 
 'you', 'want', 'here')

Re: [R] Read header csv file

2009-09-30 Thread Don MacQueen
 in 1:nfiles)#Read first file

{
sink(directore where my text file is)

filename-dir()[[year]]#take first file and
read filename, so if year is 1, then filename will be 2004, is year is
2, filename will be 2005,...

cat( Year: ,filename)
sink()

clima-read.csv2(filename, nrows=7) #open 2004.csv

And in my text file would read

Year: 2004

Now, I want to the same to months. (I have built 
a for loop to read months inside for loop to 
read years). When I import a csv file I get 
something like this


 JanurayFebruary 
13.0 4.1   
21.4  3.7

3 0.2 1.5
4 6.7  4.1
.

I can use commands like clima$Januray or 
clima[[1]] but I just get precipitation values. 
However, I am not able to get the header of the 
column. If I would able to do that I could do 
the same as for years and export those headers 
to my text file. Does anyone know how I could do 
that? or does anyone know another way to do what 
I need? Would anyone use sink() and cat() 
commands to create a summary text like the one I 
need to do?. Probably my for loop is not the 
best, I am still a beginner with R, and probably 
there are some better forms to express in R what 
I need but I am working alone so there is nobody 
in person to help me so I apologize for my 
simple questions. Thanks in advance.

Re: [R] Bubble Plot

2009-09-28 Thread Don MacQueen
From looking at the code for bubble(), it doesn't appear there's any 
way to force special treatment of selected values.


However, a simple work around would be to simply exclude the zero 
values from the plot(s) by subsetting your data creating a1 and a2. 
If you really want *no* representation, you're done. If you want them 
represented with the smallest dot size, then add them in afterwards 
with plot(), xyplot(), or spplot(), depending.


Or, you could make a personal copy of bubble() [renamed, of course], 
and modify it to handle zeros in a special manner. That doesn't look 
too hard to do.

Re: [R] data frame's column names not the same as in CSV

Strangely,


Not so strange. Data can be anything, but column names are names of 
variables. In R, as in most (all? many?) computer languages, variable 
names have rules they must follow. Yours don't follow R's rules.


See Gabor's response to learn how to tell R to ignore the rules (in 
this particular instance). You will find, however, that later on, 
when you want to use those variables, it will be more difficult to 
use variables whose names do not follow the rules.




 when I experimented with just reading the csv with the head
flag set to false, the text was read correctly as the same to the raw file.
I am wondering if anyone has encountered a similar problem. If so, I would
really appreciate if you can share your insight.


Best Regards,
Derek

Re: [R] Reading data

2009-09-23 Thread Don MacQueen
What it is telling you is that it can't find the file. This could be 
because the file isn't there, or you've got a typo in the file name, 
that sort of thing.


In your email, you have split the filename argument between two 
lines. I don't know whether this comes from what you did in R, or 
whether it was put there by the email software. If the former, try it 
without the line break, like this:


rel - read.table(C:/Documents and Settings/ashta/My 
Documents/R_data/rel.dat,

 quote=,header=FALSE,sep=,col.names=
  c(id,orel,nrel))

NOT

rel - read.table(C:/Documents and Settings/ashta/My
Documents/R_data/rel.dat,
 quote=,header=FALSE,sep=,col.names=
  c(id,orel,nrel))


This is a bit of a wild guess, since I don't use R in Windows, and I 
don't know how the R GUI for Windows handles a line break in the 
filename in context of read.table(). But it could be the problem. 
Also, isn't there supposed to be a space between My and 
Documents? As best I can tell from your email, you don't have one 
-- but it's hard to tell because it's split into two lines.

Re: [R] xtable - print - suppress output

2009-09-21 Thread Don MacQueen

I think there is a conceptual issue here.

The xtable() function does not actually create html. What it does is 
add some attributes to the dataframe that is given to it. Here's an 
example:



 tmp - data.frame( a =1:3, b= c('a','b','c') )
 foo - xtable(tmp)



 class(foo)

[1] xtable data.frame

 unclass(foo)

$a
[1] 1 2 3

$b
[1] a b c
Levels: a b c

attr(,row.names)
[1] 1 2 3
attr(,align)
[1] r r l
attr(,digits)
[1] 0 2 2
attr(,display)
[1] s d s

The output of class(foo) tells us that foo is still a dataframe. It 
has two columns, a and b, just like tmp did. What it also has are 
some additional attributes, in this case some alignment information, 
some digits information, and some display information. And that 
is *all* that xtable() did.


The real work is done by the function print.xtable(). This takes the 
dataframe and its additional attributes and prints it using either 
html or LaTeX syntax, depending on the 'type' argument. This is why 
xtable() has relatively few optional arguments, but print.xtable() 
has many.  xtable() does not create html. print.xtable() creates html.


In other words, there is no such thing as saving the html table into 
a variable. It just doesn't work that way. All that is possible is to 
write it (print it) to either the screen or a file.


Which leads back to the question that one of the other responses 
asked ... what is the reason for saving it to an R object? What do 
you hope to accomplish by doing that, that you can't accomplish using 
print() ?


Hope this helps

Besides xtable, other packages that help write html include Hmisc 
(already mentioned), hwriter, HTMLUtils, and R2HTML. Maybe one of 
them does things enough differently to do whatever it is you're 
looking for.

Re: [R] RODBC : using and passing queries that use in some arguments

Start by using single quotes in your paste() command.

dumb example:
  sql - paste(' select x = 3 ')

(the query is nonsense, I just wrote it to show 
how to get double quotes into the query)

Re: [R] Replacing values in dataframes

2009-09-19 Thread Don MacQueen

What I would probably do is along these lines:

  iddf - data.frame(Sample.id=names(Prot.amount), new.id=Prot.amount[1,])

  newNAD - merge( NAD, iddf)

This is not tested, but it looks right to me, 
assuming I understand the structure of what 
you're trying to do.


I'm also assuming that NAD has more than three 
rows, and that Prot.amount has as many columns as 
NAD has rows. And that you just showed us the 
first three rows of NAD and first three columns 
of Prot.amount in order to keep the email simple.


One final note ... if Prot.amount is an object 
within R, it is *not* a file. You may have read 
it in from a file, of course, but it isn't a file 
inside R. I'm assuming it's a dataframe.

Re: [R] Any concept of 'by reference' or 'address of' in R?

2009-09-18 Thread Don MacQueen
I wouldn't assume R is making a copy; it depends on what you're doing 
with the dataframe.


I'd suggest using Rprof to find out where the cpu time is being 
spent. If you can adapt your problem to use all numbers or all 
characters then you can store the data in a matrix instead of a data 
frame, and potentially speed things up. (That advice is based on my 
own experience from a fairly large number of years ago, so it's 
possible that developments in R since then could negate the advice.)

Re: [R] Question about Factors

The suggestions from others to use lattice's xyplot, or ggplot2 are good.

If you want an explicit loop you can do something like:

for ( nm in unique(mydat$Name) ) {
  with( subset( mydf, Name==nm) ,
 {
  plot(Time, Value, title=nm)
  readline('CR to continue ')
 }
  )

Re: [R] how to recode with an if-type statement

2009-09-14 Thread Don MacQueen

I suppose there are a couple of ways...

if (numbers==1) {
  distot -
} else if (numbers ==2) {
   distot -
} else if (numbers==3) {
   distot -
} else distot - NA

(letting you fill in the right hand side within each block)

There's also

distot - switch(numbers,
  w9zd9_1,
  (w9zd9_1 + w9zd9_2)/2,
  (w9zd9_1 + w9zd9_2 + w9zd9_3)/3,
  NA)

In both cases I added an explicit result in case numbers is not one 
of the expected values.


Generalizing this to an arbitrary value of numbers would be trickier.

Re: [R] how to determine if a variable is already set?

2009-09-12 Thread Don MacQueen

Do watch out, however, for *where* i exits.

That is, if you type search() you will see a list of environments in 
which i might be found. You're probably assuming that i, if 
exists(i) is true, is in .GlobalEnv, but it might be in one of the 
other environments, in which case exists('i') will be TRUE, but it 
won't be the i you are looking for.


I believe you need to quote then name also
   use:exits('i')
   not:exists(i)

See  ?exists (again)

Re: [R] tranform a table?

2009-09-10 Thread Don MacQueen
One could probably use one of the apply family of functions (apply, 
lapply, sapply), but having looked into it a bit, I think it's 
simpler to use an explicit loop. I doubt you'll encounter a need for 
greater efficiency, in the cpu time sense, unless your tables are 
huge.


But the looping can be written more simply:


require(xtable)

df - data.frame(nm=letters[1:4], val1=1:4, val2=round(runif(4)))

for (i in seq(nrow(df))) {
  print( xtable( t(df[i,])) , type='html', include.colnames=FALSE)
  cat('br')
}


One of the other packages for writing html from R objects might have 
a function that will automatically subset a dataframe in this 
particular way, but it strikes me as somewhat unlikely.

I'm starting with a table that looks essentially like this:

NameField1 Field2
John  value1 value2
Jane  value3 value4

My table is stored as a dataframe.  I'd like to efficiently produce an
output that iterates through each row, transposes it and outputs an HTML
table (one per row).  like this:

Name: John
Field1: value1
Field2: value2

Name: Jane
Field1: value3
Field2: value4

I can accomplish this by looping through each row, then outputting that
row's table.  This gets the job done, but it seems there must be a better
way.  I'm going to need to do this sort of conversion a lot,
so the simpler the better.  is there a better way to approach it than the
code below?  is there a more general term for the sort of transformation i'm
trying to make that might help guide my searching?

i realize i need to look into better methods of outputting HTML tables (like
r2html).

here's the basic idea.  'labkey.data' is the data frame produced by my SQL
query:

D-labkey.data
H-colnames(D)
T-t(D)
L-length(D$id)

output - 

for(i in 1:L) {
R-my.row - D[i, ]
R-t(R)
Len-length(R)

output - paste(output, table border=0)
for(j in 1:Len) {
output - paste(output,trtd, H[j],:/tdtd, R[j], /td)
}

output - paste(output, /tablep)

}

write(output, file=${htmlout:output})

Re: [R] Read.csv in R with dynamic file (1st) argument

2009-09-10 Thread Don MacQueen
Alternatives to sprintf() include formatC() or 
prettyNum(), which would have to be used in 
combination with paste().


In Carl's solution, the file.path() function 
should be considered, since it automatically uses 
the correct path separators for the OS. 
Furthermore,  eval() is not necessary.


So, for example,


 x - formatC(scan(),width=4,flag='0')

1: 23
2:
Read 1 item

 x

[1] 0023

root.dir - 'D:\R\Data'

read.csv( 
file.path(root.dir,x,paste(x,'.csv',sep='')))  ## 
those are all single quotes


This isn't necessarily better than the sprintf() 
version, just different, and shows some 
additional useful functions(). This way of using 
formatC() requires that the user input only 
numbers:



 x - formatC(scan(),width=4,flag='0')

1: jk
1:
Error in scan(file, what, nmax, sep, dec, quote, skip, nlines, na.strings,  :
  scan() expected 'a real', got 'jk'

I don't know what sprintf() would do with such input.

Re: [R] Select top three values from data frame

2009-08-26 Thread Don MacQueen
Do you want just the values (i.e., a vector), or do you also want the 
corresponding rows of the data frame?


What if there is a tie, or do you know in advance that within any 
particular subset the values of B are unique?


What if the subset that meets the constraints has fewer than 3 unique 
values? (which I think is the case in your example)



   tail(  unique( sort( df$B[  df$A=='x'  df$C  2 ] ) ) ,3 )

Should do it (but I haven't tested).

Why does it get messy with over 100 columns?
I'll pretend for the moment that you have exactly 100 columns:
   1)  you will be doing this many times, each time with a different 
sets of 3 columns?
   2)  you want the three highest values in each of 98 columns based 
on constraints on the other two?
   3)  you want the three highest values of B based on constraints on 
all of the other 99 columns?


Depending on what changes when more columns are involved, you might 
be able to loop over columns with syntax like,


   for (nm in c('B','D','E') )   tail(  unique( sort( df[[nm]][ 
df$A=='x'  df$C  2 ] ) ) ,3 )

Hi,

I'm trying to find an easy way to do this.

I want to select the top three values of a specific column in a 
subset of rows in a data.frame.  I'll demonstrate.


ABC
x21
x41
x32
y15
y26
y38


I want the top 3 values of B from the data.frame where A=X and C 2

I could extract all the rows where C2, then sort by B, then take 
the first 3.  But that seems like the wrong way around, and it also 
will get messy with real data of over 100 columns.


Any suggestions?

 Hi everyone,

 while I had so many nested if else's in my code that my head was

Re: [R] how to apply a date format for data frame

2009-08-25 Thread Don MacQueen
Assuming your  starts and ends are the number of days since some 
starting point (day 0), then following this example might do what you 
want:



 x - 45678
 class(x) - 'Date'
 x

[1] 2095-01-23

You will have to study the documentation to find out if your starting 
point is the same as R's, and if not, how to adjust.

Re: [R] simple randomization question: How to perform sample in chunks

2009-08-20 Thread Don MacQueen

I believe this will do what you want:

  tmp1 - split(xx, xx$a)
  do.call(rbind, tmp1[ sample(length(unique(xx$a))) ])

The idea is to split the dataframe, and then reassemble in a random order.

Whether or not it will be faster for a large dataframe, I don't know.

There's probably also an indexing solution, perhaps using rle(), but 
I thought of this first...

Hello dear R-help group.

My task looks simple, but I can't seem to find a smart (e.g: non loop)
solution to it.

Task: I wish to randomize a data.frame by one column, while keeping the
inner-order in the second column as is.

So for example, let's say I have the following data.frame:

xx -data.frame(a=  c(1,2,2,3,3,3,4,4,4,4) ,
b =  c(1,1,2,1,2,3,1,2,3,4) )

I would like to shuffle it by column a, while keeping the order in column
b.

Here is my not-smart way of doing it:

# R example
xx -data.frame(a=  c(1,2,2,3,3,3,4,4,4,4) ,
b =  c(1,1,2,1,2,3,1,2,3,4) )

randomize.by.column.a - function(xx)
{
new.a.order - sample(unique(xx$a))
new.xx - NULL
for(i in new.a.order)
{
  xx.subset - xx[ xx$a %in% i ,]
  new.xx - rbind(new.xx ,  xx.subset)
}

return(new.xx)
}
randomize.by.column.a(xx)
# END of - R example



I would love for a better, faster, way of doing it.

Thanks,
Tal

Re: [R] how do i vectorize relational queries in R

2009-08-19 Thread Don MacQueen

Does
  merge(data,meta)
give what you want?

FWIW:

 append to a dataframe would normally mean to add more rows (or at 
least that's how I use it), but you appear to be adding a column.


data is the name of an R function, best avoided for other uses.

You're assigning the column names the hard way. Try
  mydata - data.frame(Sample=c(1,1,1,2,2,2,3,3,3), Score=rep(2,9))

To avoid the factors, use
  meta - data.frame(Score=c(1,2,3), Stratum = I(c(Tree,Tree,Shrub)) )
## that's an upper case letter i in I()
or
  meta - data.frame(Score=c(1,2,3), Stratum = 
c(Tree,Tree,Shrub), stringsAsFactors=FALSE )

## easily found in the help page for data.frame
