Dear All,
Having now successfully started using Sweave, I have just noticed an odd
side effect with fonts.
Using plain LaTeX, I have had no problems using \usepackage{palatino} or
\usepackage{times} and the font correctly changes.
However, once I convert the tex document into Snw, and run it through R
CMD SWEAVE, LaTeX seems to ignore this package directive. The LaTeX log
suggests the font package is successfully loaded.
In fact, invetigating the problem in more detail, the mere addition of
\usepackage{Sweave} is enough to cause the \usepackage{times} or
\usepackage{palatino} to be ignored.
I suspect it is not Sweave itself, as I have seen examples in Sweave
using Times or Palatino; it may be an issue with my local LaTeX
installation (but that doesn't show up without using Sweave), or some
odd interaction? Certainly, Sweave generates the correct .tex file, but
bizarrely, the package directive is ignored.
Has anyone had similar problems, or am I alone...?

Re: [R] FW: Large datasets in R
In my experience, the OS's use of virtual memory is only relevant in the rough sense that the OS can store *other* running applications in virtual memory so that R can use as much of the physical memory as possible. Once R itself overflows into virtual memory it quickly becomes unusable. I'm not sure I understand your second question. As R is available in source code form, it can be compiled for many 64-bit operating systems. -roger Marshall Feldman wrote: Hi, I have two further comments/questions about large datasets in R. 1. Does R's ability to handle large datasets depend on the operating system's use of virtual memory? In theory, at least, VM should make the difference between installed RAM and virtual memory on a hard drive primarily a determinant of how fast R will calculate rather than whether or not it can do the calculations. However, if R has some low-level routines that have to be memory resident and use more memory as the amount of data increases, this may not hold. Can someone shed light on this? 2.

I am a student of economics and currently do most of my statistical work using STATA. For various reasons (not least of which is an aversion for proprietary software), I am thinking of shifting to R.

Would be possible to work data-sets of such sizes using R? The answer depends on a lot of things, but most importantly 1) What you are going to do with the data 2) Whether you have a 32-bit or 64-bit version of R 3) How much memory your computer has. In a 32-bit version of R (where R will not be allowed to address more than 2-3Gb of memory) an object of size 350Mb is large enough to cause problems (see eg the R Installation and Adminstration Guide). If your 350Mb data set has lots of variables and you only use a few at a time then you may not have any trouble even on a 32-bit system once you have read in the data. If you have a 64-bit version of R and a few Gb of memory then there should be no real difficulty in working with that size of data set for most analyses.

Hi,
The latest version of R had some changes to functions readbin() and
writeBin() [which] now support raw vectors as well as filenames and
connections.. As a result I am working on retiring raw2bin and bin2raw
functions from caTools package which do exactly the same. Thanks to Prof.
Ripley for bringing this change to my attention.
Which brings me to my question: how to use readBin function to read the
whole file or vector con and not just requested number of elements (n)
from it? In other words what to do if I do not know what to set argument n
to (The (maximal) number of records to be read), and want to read all
records?
So far the simplest solution I found is to measure vector length (or file
size) of con and set n to length()%/%size. Which gets quite messy if
size is not provided and have to be deduced from what (see code below).
Am I missing something? Is there an easier way to read the whole file or
vector? Shouldn't that be the default?
readBin(con, what, n = 1, size = NA, signed = TRUE, endian =
.Platform$endian)
bin2raw = function(x, ...) writeBin(x, raw(), ...) # old bin2raw can be
easily written using curent writeBin
raw2bin = function(r, what, size=NA, ...)
{
TypeList = c(logical, integer, double, complex, character,
raw,
numeric, int)
if (!is.character(what) || length(what) != 1 || !(what %in% TypeList))
what - typeof(what)
if (!is.vector(r) || mode(r) == list)
stop(raw2bin: 'r' has to be vector of type 'raw')
if (what==raw) return(r)
if (!is.na(size)) nBits=size
else nBits = switch(match(typeof(x), TypeList), 4, 4, 8, 16, 2, 1, 8, 4)
n = length(r)

Hi,

then i saw that f return an environment

Subject: Documenting data sets with many variables
Date: Friday 05 August 2005 14:03
From: Arne Henningsen [EMAIL PROTECTED]
To: R-help@stat.math.ethz.ch
Hi,
I extended the data set Blanciforti86 that is included in my R package
micEcon. For instance, I added consumer prices, annual consumption
expenditures and expenditure shares of eleven aggregate commodity groups.
The corresponding variables in the data frame are called pAgg1,
pAgg2, ..., pAgg11, xAgg1, xAgg2, ..., xAgg11, wAgg1,
wAgg2, ..., wAgg11. To avoid to describe all 33 items in the \format
section of the documentation (.Rd file) I wrote something like
\format{
This data frame contains the following columns:
\describe{
[ . . . ]
\item{xAggX}{Expenditure on the aggregate commodity group X
(in Millions of US-Dollars).}
\item{pAggX}{Price index for the aggregate commodity group X
(1972 = 100).}
\item{wAggX}{Expenditure share of the aggregate commodity group X.}
[ . . . ]
}
}
and explained the 11 aggregate commodity groups only once in a different
section (1=food, 2=clothing, ... ). However, R CMD check now complains
about data codoc mismatches, e.g.
Code: [...] pAgg1pAgg2 pAgg3 [...]
Docs: [...] pAggX [...]
Is there a way to avoid the description of all 33 items without getting a
complaint from R CMD check?
Thanks,
Arne

Re: [R] load ing and saving R objects
I would suggest saving each object to an individual file with some sort of systematic file name. That way, you can implement a rudimentary key-value database and load only the objects you want. You might be interested in the 'serialize()' and 'unserialize()' functions for this purpose. If having ~15000 files is not desirable, then you need a database like GDBM. If you can live with something simpler, you might take a look at my 'filehash' package at http://sandybox.typepad.com/software/. It hasn't been tested much but it may suit your needs. -roger Richard Mott wrote: Does anyone know a way to do the following: Save a large number of R objects to a file (like load() does) but then read back only a small named subset of them . As far as I can see, load() reads back everything. The context is: I have an application which will generate a large number of large matrices (approx 15000 matrices each of dimension 2000*30). I can generate these matrices using an R-package I wrote, but it requires a large amouint of memory and is slow so I want to do this only once. However, I then want to do some subsequent processing, comprising a very large number of runs in which small (~ 10) random selection of matrices from the previously computed set are used for linear modeling. So I need a way to load back named objects previously saved in a call to save(). I can;t see anyway of doing this. Any ideas? Thanks Richard Mott -- Roger D.

Re: [R] rbind wastes memory
Rather than 'rbind' in a loop, try putting your dataframes in a list and

-roger
[EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:
Hello everybody,
if I try to (r)bind a number of large dataframes I run out of memory because R
wastes memory and seems to forget to release memory.
For example I have 10 files. Each file contains a large dataframe ds (3500 cols
by 800 rows) which needs ~20 MB RAM if it is loaded as the only object.
Now I try to bind all data frames to a large one and need more than 1165MB (!)
RAM (To simplify the R code, I use the same file ten times):
start example 1 __
load(myFile)
ds.tmp - ds
for (Cycle in 1:10) {
ds.tmp - rbind(ds.tmp, ds)
}
end example 1 __
Stepping into details I found the following (comment shows RAM usage after this line
was executed):
load(myFile)# 40MB (19MB for R itself)
ds.tmp - ds# 40MB; = only a pointer seems to be
copied
x-rbind(ds.tmp, ds) # 198MB
x-rbind(ds.tmp, ds) # 233MB; the same instruction a second time leads to
# 35MB more RAM usage - why?
Now I played around, but I couldn't find a solution. For example I bound each dataframe
step by step and removed the variables and cleared memory, but I still need 1140MB(!)
RAM:
start example 2 __
tmpFile- paste(myFile,'.tmp',sep=)

Re: [R] installing R-2.1.0 from source on Fedora Core 3 with tcltk
I haven't had a problem building R 2.1.0 on FC3 and I've got the tcl, tcl-devl, tk, and tk-devel rpms installed (and I don't use the --with-tcltk configure switch). I've never downloaded the R_Tcl.zip file. Does 'configure' find the tcl/tk setup and then it fails to compile or does 'configure' just not find tcl/tk to begin with? Also, is this a 64-bit system?

Various fooling around let me to get http://www.murdoch-sutherland.com/Rtools/R_Tcl.zip (even though it is supposedly for Windows), unzip it in the R-2.0.0/ directory (where the tar file put itself), and also install rpms for tcl-devel and tk-devel, which I did not have. When I did both of these things, it worked. Either one of them alone (the ..devel rpms or the R_Tcl.zip) did not suffice.

Re: [R] Suggestion for the posting guide
You can use 'dput()' or 'dump()' to create a text representation and paste that into an email if it's small enough. Another possiblity, if you have access to a webserver, is to save a workspace file via 'save()' or 'save.image()' and post it on the web. Given the URL, users with Internet access can 'load()' it directly off the web into R. I guess one downside of that method is the example data do not get stored in the mailing list archives. -roger Bock, Michael wrote: I was preparing an e-mail for the help list and ran across a quandary. When asking for help it is useful to include the code/data so others can run your code and test it. I was running code on a data frame and wanted to include a small version of the data frame. The data frame was based on experimental data. What is the best way to do this? I didn't want to send an attachment so a wrote code to generate the data frame but it was a bit cumbersome.

Re: [R] Handling large data sets via scan()
I can usually read in large tables by very careful usage of read.table() without having to resort to scan(). In particular, using the `colClasses', `nrows', and `comment.char' arguments correctly can greatly reduce memory usage (and increase speed) when reading in data.

Also, are you using a 64-bit operating system? -roger Nawaaz Ahmed wrote: I'm trying to read in datasets with roughly 150,000 rows and 600 features. I wrote a function using scan() to read it in (I have a 4GB linux machine) and it works like a charm. Unfortunately, converting the scanned list into a datafame using as.data.frame() causes the memory usage to explode (it can go from 300MB for the scanned list to 1.4GB for a data.frame of 3 rows) and it fails claiming it cannot allocate memory (though it is still not close to the 3GB limit per process on my linux box - the message is unable to allocate vector of size 522K). So I have three questions -- 1) Why is it failing even though there seems to be enough memory available? 2) Why is converting it into a data.frame causing the memory usage to explode?

Re: [R] Hardware Suggestions
We've been running servers with AMD Opterons (both duals and 4-ways) using SuSE SLES 8 and Fedora Core 2 and 3 (64 bit). All work well and R can access up to ~15GB of RAM on our 4-way machine (which has 16GB installed). One of the Red Hat Enterprise Linux versions comes with a buggy compiler but I can't remember which version (there is some discussion on the R-devel mailing list archives). Watch out for that. I think using gcc 3.4.x solves that problem. R pretty much compiles out of the box on AMD Opteron/Fedora Core 3 (64-bit) Linux. We've been very happy with our R experience so far. -roger Jon Dressel wrote: We are currently running R under Windows 2000 on a server box running with 2 1.2 GHZ Intel Pentium III Processors.

Re: [R] using eval() with pre-built expression inside function
If you look at the beginning of lm(), you'll see that match.call() is
used and name of the function (in this case f1) is replaced with
model.frame. Does something like this work?
f1 - function(formula, data) {
mf - match.call(expand.dots = FALSE)
mf[[1]] - as.name(model.frame)
eval(mf, parent.frame())
}
-roger
Heather Turner wrote:
I'm trying to evaluate a pre-built expression using eval(), e.g.
dataset - data.frame(y = runif(30, 50,100), x = gl(5, 6))
# one like this
mf - expression(model.frame(y~x))
eval(mf, dataset, parent.frame())
# rather than this
eval(expression(model.frame(y~x)), dataset, parent.frame())
In the example above there is no problem, the problem comes when I try to do a
similar thing within a function, e.g.
f1 - function(formula, data) {
mt - terms(formula)
mf - as.expression(as.call(c(as.name(model.frame), formula = mt)))
eval(mf, data, parent.frame())
}
f1(formula = y ~ x, data = dataset)
Error in eval(expr, envir, enclos) : Object y not found
I can get round this by building a call to eval using paste, e.g.
f2 - function(formula, data) {
mt - terms(formula)
mf - as.expression(as.call(c(as.name(model.frame), formula = mt)))
direct - parse(text = paste(eval(expression(, mf,
), data, parent.frame(
print(direct)
eval(direct)
}
f2(formula = y ~ x, data = dataset)
expression(eval(expression(model.frame(formula = y ~ x)), data,
parent.frame()))
y x

2 63.43658 1
3 55.24448 1
4 72.75650 1
5 67.58781 1

but this seems rather convoluted. Can anyone explain why f1 doesn't work (when
f2 does) and/or suggest a neater way of dealing with this?

Re: [R] Basic Q on coercing factors in data frames to numeric
I believe this is a FAQ. See http://cran.r-project.org/doc/FAQ/R-FAQ.html#How-do-I-convert-factors-to-numeric_003f -roger Robert Brown FM CEFAS wrote: Hi there, I'm running R 2.0.0 on Windows 95. I'm trying to coerce a column of factors within a data frame to numeric. This is not a problem with a vector, but I can't find a way to index a column within a data frame to achieve this. All the examples from 'An introduction to R', 'S-plus 6 programmers guide', etc, use simple vectors.

Re: [R] substitute/paste question for using Greek in plot titles
This is not a bug. The object passed to `main' should be either character or an expression (documented in ?title). substitute() returns neither a character object nor an expression -- it return a call object. This is documented in ?substitute: Substituting and quoting often causes confusion when the argument is 'expression(...)'. The result is a call to the 'expression' constructor function and needs to be evaluated with 'eval' to give the actual expression object. What you want, I think, is label - substitute(expression(paste(A vaue for ,phi, = ,phival)), list(phival=phi.1)) plot(0 ~ 0, main = eval(label)) -roger Sundar Dorai-Raj wrote: Peter Dunn wrote: Hi all I am having troubles making sense of why code (1) below fails but code (2) below works.

Is this documented as a feature (I couldn't find it if that is the case), or is it a bug? If it is a feature, it is a subtle difference between (1) and (2) that has potential to be quite frustrating! Perhaps I should just upgrade to version 2.0.0, though I can't see anything in the Release Notes that might cause this. Thanks. P. version _ platform i686-pc-linux-gnu arch i686 os linux-gnu system i686, linux-gnu status major1 minor9.1 year 2004 month06 day 21 language R Peter, Because in the first couple of lines of plot.formula we see this: dots - m$... dots - lapply(dots, eval, data, parent.frame()) which for your case is equivalent to: expr - substitute(paste(A vaue for ,phi, = ,phival), list(phival=phi.1)) eval(expr) which returns an error saying phi cannot be found which is the correct behaviour of eval. I'll let others comment on whether or not this is a bug in plot.formula but you can always get around it by calling title: plot(0 ~ 0) title(main = expr) which is exactly what your second example is doing in plot.default.

Re: [R] Converting strings to date
You need to be more specific when you say it works =) strptime()
returns a POSIXlt object whose printed representation appears to be a
string (but it is a list). What you want, I think, is either
as.POSIXct() or as.Date(). See ?DateTimeClasses.

Hello,
I have the following problem:
test is a data frame with 9 fields. The field test$Date is factorized with
dates. The format is dd-mm- (using Oracle notation). I want to convert this
to Date in '%Y-%m-%d format.
What I am doing is:
for (i in 1:nrow(test))
{
test[i,]$Data-strptime(substring(test[i,]$Data,1,10),%d-%m-%Y)
}
test is a data frame.
The error is:
Error in $-.data.frame(`*tmp*`, Data, value = list(sec = 0, min = 0, :
replacement has 9 rows, data has 1
But if I do:
strptime(substring(test[1:nrow(teste),]$Data,1,10),%d-%m-%Y)
it works! Why the assignement does not work?
Thanks
