[R] matching a sequence in a vector?

2012-02-14 Thread Redding, Matthew
Hi All, I've been trawling through the documentation and listserv archives on this topic -- but as yet have not found a solution. I'm sure this is pretty simple with R, but I cannot work out how without resorting to ugly nested loops. As far as I can tell, grep, match, and %in% are not the

2011-10-12 Thread Redding, Matthew
Dear R-experts, I have 28 data points that I would like to fit with a non linear broken-stick -- with three fitted parameters. When I view trace -- and use the final values as lines on the graph of data -- it looks pretty good. Q1. Why am I getting singular convergeance? Q2. Can you suggest

[R] strsplit and regex

2008-10-15 Thread Redding, Matthew
Hi All, Is there a means to extract the 10 from 23:10:34 in one pass using strsplit (or something else)? tst - 23:10:34 For example my attempt strsplit(as.character(tst),^[0-9]*:) gives [[1]] [1] 34 Obviously it is matching the first two instances of [0-9]. Note that there may be only

Hi All, Just to make that question a bit harder - how do I apply that string extraction to vector of these time strings? Thanks, Matt Redding -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Redding, Matthew Sent: Thursday, 16 October 2008 7:54 AM

[R] lsoda( linking to GMP for big numbers from C code)

2008-09-16 Thread Redding, Matthew
Hi R used with C-code experts, I had a look at the archives and did not find anything on this, so hopefully I am not doubling up. I have previously used the following approach where I needed some very small/large numbers (using Brobdingnag): surfacewithdiff - function(t, y, p) {

[R] tryCatch

Hi All R-Gurus, I am trying to debug a program, and I think tryCatch will help. The functions involved process through so many times before I encounter the error, things are a bit slow to use debug and browser(). I've read the help file and postings on conditions, and am still having

[R] nlm behaviour and error

2008-06-03 Thread Redding, Matthew
Hi R-Gurus, I've been cutting along quite nicely with nlm, until I threw in the following condition in the function that nlm is minimising: if (((term*bexp) 0.0001)) { #warning(term*bexp, =term*bexp,psi,=psi) theta-2000 } Now when I run this function anywhere

Dear R Gurus, I am having a little difficulty with nlm. I've searched the archives and found nothing that tells me why this is occuring -- though there are some slightly similar issues. A simple example: lev2-function(aaa,bbb,ccc,ddd,eee){ res-aaa+bbb+ccc+ddd+eee res }

Dear R-Gurus, I have ended up with a calculation problem where I need to use brobs. I have to work my way through a vector with a for loop to act on each element in a calculation (refering to the previous value in the new vector of results -- so as far as I know I can't use apply) -- this
