[R] Inverse of FAQ 7.31.

2011-08-02 Thread Rolf Turner



Why does R think these numbers ***are*** equal?

In a somewhat bizarre set of circumstances I calculated

x0 - 0.03580067
x1 - 0.03474075
y0 - 0.4918823
y1 - 0.4474461
dx - x1 - x0
dy - y1 - y0
xx - (x0 + x1)/2
yy - (y0 + y1)/2
chk - yy*dx - xx*dy + x0*dy - y0*dx

If you think about it ***very*** carefully ( :-) ) you'll see that 
``chk'' ought to be zero.


Blow me down, R gets 0.  Exactly.  To as many significant digits/decimal 
places

as I can get it to print out.

But  I wrote a wee function in C to do the *same* calculation and 
dyn.load()-ed

it and called it with .C().  And I got -1.248844e-19.

This is of course zero, to all floating point arithmetic intents and 
purposes.  But if

I name the result returned by my call to .C() ``xxx'' and ask

xxx = 0

I get FALSE whereas ``chk = 0'' returns TRUE (as does ``chk = 0'', of 
course).
(And inside my C function, the comparison ``xxx = 0'' yields ``false'' 
as well.)


I was vaguely thinking that raw R arithmetic would be equivalent to C 
arithmetic.

(Isn't R written in C?)

Can someone explain to me how it is that R (magically) gets it exactly 
right, whereas
a call to .C() gives the sort of ``approximately right'' answer that one 
might usually
expect?  I know that R Core is ***good*** but even they can't make C do 
infinite

precision arithmetic. :-)

This is really just idle curiosity --- I realize that this phenomenon is 
one that I'll simply have
to live with.  But if I can get some deeper insight as to why it occurs, 
well, that would

be nice.

cheers,

[R] Loops to assign a unique ID to a column

2011-08-02 Thread Chandra Salgado Kent
Dear R help,

 

I am fairly new in data management and programming in R, and am trying to write 
what is probably a simple loop, but am not having any luck. I have a dataframe 
with something like the following (but much bigger):

 

Dates-c(12/10/2010,12/10/2010,12/10/2010,13/10/2010, 13/10/2010, 
13/10/2010)

Groups-c(A,B,B,A,B,C)

data-data.frame(Dates, Groups)

 

I would like to create a new column in the dataframe, and give each distinct 
date by group a unique identifying number starting with 1, so that the 
resulting column would look something like:

 

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

 

The loop that I have started to write is something like this (but doesn't 
work!):

 

data$ID-as.number(c()) 

for(i in unique(data$Dates)){

  for(j in unique(data$Groups)){ data$ID[i,j]-i

  i-i+1

  }

}

 

Am I on the right track?

 

Any help on this is much appreciated!

 

Chandra

Dear Chandra,

You're on the wrong track. You don't need for loops as you can do this 
vectorised.

as.numeric(interaction(data$Groups, data$Dates, drop = TRUE))

I think the long and the short of it is that R lost a couple of bits of 
precision that C retained. This sort of thing happens if R stores things into 
64 bit floating point objects while C keeps them in 80 bit CPU registers. In 
general, floating point calculations do not obey the laws of math, for example 
the associative law (i.e., (a+b)-c ?= a+(b-c), especially if b and c are large 
and nearly equal), so any reordering of expressions by the compiler may give a 
slightly different result.

Re: [R] Environment of a LM created in a function

2011-08-02 Thread Thaler, Thorn, LAUSANNE, Applied Mathematics
Dear Peter,

Thanks for your concise answer, it works perfectly. 

By the way, I fully agree that data or df are not good names for
data.frames and I am/was aware of that and I usually avoid those names
(not consequently though I've to admit, it is too tempting ;). However,
if one uses those evil names, one cannot expect to receive meaningful
error messages. Thus, I was not astonished by the peculiar error message
itself (in fact I was well aware that this has to do with the bad naming
and the fact that data is, above all, a function) and I suspect the
error to be due to environment issues.

I tried the workaround with passing the very same data argument
explicitly to update:

 update(models[[1]], . ~ ., data = dat)

which worked but which left the stale impression of redundancy and even
more dangerous error proneness: what happens if the name of the data
frame is changed earlier?

Finally, your suggestion with 

 update(models[[1]], . ~ ., data = model.frame(models[[1]]))

solved all the issues (and I was wondering why I did not try it out
myself, so obviously I was not seeing the wood for the trees). So,
thanks a lot for your help.

Have a nice day.

KR,

-Thorn

 You define `lena`, but then use `lenx` in `for (i in 1:lenx)` in your
 function ... I guess this might have something to do with it.
 
 You shouldn't use a for loop, though, and just follow david's advice
 by using logical indexing, or the `ifelse` function, ie:
 
 R ifelse(x  0, x, 0)

Re: [R] ivreg and structural change

2011-08-02 Thread Achim Zeileis

On Mon, 1 Aug 2011, Claudio Shikida (??) wrote:


Hello,

I am looking for some help with this question: how could I test structural
breaks in a instrumental variables?s model?


In principle, most of tests used in the standard linear regression model 
can also be transferred to the IV case. However, many of the functions in 
strucchange do not do this. A notable exception is the function gefp(), 
see its manual page for references. This allows you to do something like


  gefp(y ~ x1 + x2 | z1 + z2, fit = ivreg, data = d)

etc.


For example, I was trying to do something with my model with three time
series.

tax_ivreg - ivreg(l_y ~ l_x2 + l_x1+ dl_y | lag(l_x2, -1)+lag(l_x2, -2)+
lag(l_x1, -1)+lag(l_x1, -2)+lag(l_y, -1)+lag(l_y, -2), data=tax1)
summary(tax_ivreg)


I guess that this does not do what you want it to do. I would guess that 
this essentially yields a standard linear regression because the lag() is 
not correctly processed. If you want to use ivreg(), you need to set up 
the lagged variables by hand in advance. Alternatively, you can use 
dynlm() from the dynlm package which allows you to use lag() or the 
simpler L() function in the formula together with zoo data.


For an example, how to set up the lagged variables by hand, you can look 
at the manual page of breakpoints(), especially the seatbelt data example.


hth,
Z


## after estimating it, something weird happened with the several tests in
package strucchange. For example:

cusum - efp(l_y ~ l_x2 + l_x1+ dl_y | lag(l_x2, -1)+lag(l_x2, -2)+
lag(l_x1, -1)+lag(l_x1, -2)+lag(l_y, -1)+lag(l_y, -2), data=tax1,
type=OLS-CUSUM)
sctest(cusum)
plot(cusum)
coef(cusum, breaks=2)

## And:

cusum - efp(tax_ivreg, data=tax1, type=OLS-CUSUM)
sctest(cusum)
plot(cusum)
coef(cusum, breaks=2)

## 1. The plot of the two above were very different and
## 2. When I ask for the breaks, instead of the dates, it returned me a line
of the summary of the estimated tax_ivreg

Any help would be very appreciated.

Thanks

[R] R CMD check problem

I am building an R package called *mypackage*. I followed every possible
steps (to my understanding) for the same. I got following problem while
doing *R CMD check mypackage*.

* installing *source* package 'mypackage' ...

Re: [R] Clean up a scatterplot with too much data

2011-08-02 Thread Paul Hiemstra
 Hi,

One solution could be to subsample the data, or jitter the data (give it
some random noise). A more elegant solution, imho, is to use a 2d
histogram (3d histogram is not a good alternative, I think it is much
better to use color instead of a third dimension). I don't think this is
easy to make using the standard plot system in R, but ggplot2 handles it
nicely. This would involve you needing to learn ggplot2, but I would
highly recommend that anyways :). An example of the plot I have in mind
can be seen at:

http://had.co.nz/ggplot2/stat_bin2d.html

Just scroll down a bit for some examples.

cheers,
Paul

I believe that warning is ignorable, but you can turn it off using

set CYGWIN=nodosfilewarning

It probably didn't cause the error below.

I don't know what did cause that error, but it's likely something in 
your src directory of the package.  What do you have there?

Re: [R] R CMD check problem

2011-08-02 Thread Joshua Wiley
The cygwin warning should not be fatal.  Is that what made you think there's a 
problem with your path?  Can you upload mypackage online?  Two options would be 
Github hosts that sort of thing or you could use a tar ball and any file 
hosting service.  I (and possibly others more skilled) would be happy to try it 
on my system if I had it.

You should also be able to see exactly where in the build process it failed 
from the log.

Cheers,

Josh

How about having *10* scatterplots + an identical grid in each plot? Try

  example(coplot)

for an idea about it could look (ignore the marginal plots). Of course, do 
use the lattice or the ggplot2 package, not the coplot function.

Too bad you have 10 groups and not 9 (or 12), BTW ... :-/

Re: [R] Is R the right choice for simulating first passage times of random walks?

Dear Dennis and Steve,


Am Sonntag, den 31.07.2011, 23:32 -0400 schrieb Steve Lianoglou:

[…]

 How about trying to write the of this `f4` function below using the
 rcpp/inline combo. The C/C++ you will need to write looks to be quite
 trivial, let's change f4 to accept an x argument as a vector:
 
 I've defined f4 in the same way as Dennis did:
 
  f4 - function()
   {
  x - sample(c(-1L,1L), 1)
 
   if (x = 0 ) {return(1)} else {
csum - x
len - 1
while(csum  0) {
csum - csum + sample(c(-1, 1), 1)
len - len + 1
   } }
   len
   }
 
 Now, let's do some inline/c++ mojo:
 
 library(inline)
 inc - 
 #include stdio.h
 #include stdlib.h
 #include time.h
 
 
 fxx -cxxfunction(includes=inc, plugin=Rcpp, body=
   int len = 1;
   int x = ((rand() % 2 ) == 0) ? 1 : -1;
   int csum = x;
 
   while (csum  0) {
 x = ((rand() % 2 ) == 0) ? 1 : -1;
 len++;
 csum = csum + x;
   }
 
   return wrap(len);
 )
 
 Assuming I've faithfully translated this into c++, the timings aren't
 all that comparable.
 
 Doing 500 replicates with the pure R version:
 
 set.seed(123)
 system.time(out - replicate(500, f4()))
user  system elapsed
  31.525   0.120  32.510
 
 Doing 10,000 replicates using the fxx function doesn't even break a sweat:
 
 system.time(outxx - replicate(1, fxx()))
user  system elapsed
   0.371   0.001   0.373
 
 range(out)
 [1]   1 1994308
 
 range(outxx)
 [1]1 11909394

thank you very much for your suggestions.

This is indeed a nice speed.

1. I first had that implemented in FORTRAN (and Python) too, but turned
to R for two reasons. First I wanted to use also other distributions
later on and thought that it would be easier with R and that R would
have that implemented as fast as possible. Secondly I thought that R
would also operate faster having the right vectorization and using
`csum()`. But I guess it is difficult to find a good model to use the
advantages of R.

Especially looking at `top` when running this example CPU is used 100 %
but memory only 40 MB from 2 GB. So if one could use another data
structure maybe the calculations could be done on more walks at once.

2. It is indeed possible that the walk never returns to zero, so I
should make sure, that I abort the while loop after a certain length.

3. Looking at the data types I am wondering if some integer overflow(?)
could happen. I could make the length variable unsigned I suppose [1].
But still `csum` could go from `-len` to 0 and for the normal random
walk unsigned should not be a problem too besides that the logic/checks
have to be adapted.

For integrated random walks, `ccsum += csum`, `ccsum` would go from
-(ccsum**2)/2 up to 0. So later on I should use probably the 64 bit data
type (unsigned) `long` for `ccsum`, `csum` and `length` to avoid those
problems. Memory does not seem to be a problem. Also I need to add an
additional check for the height and length in the while loop like the
following.

(csum  0)  (csum  -ULONG_MAX)  (len = ULONG_MAX)

So I came up with the following and to use unsigned I only consider that
the random walk stays positive instead of negative.

 8  code  8 
library(inline)
inc - 
#include climits
#include stdio.h
#include stdlib.h
#include time.h


f9 -cxxfunction(includes=inc, plugin=Rcpp, body=
  unsigned long len = 1;

  if ((rand() % 2 ) == 0) {
return wrap(len);
  }

  unsigned long x = 1;

  for (unsigned long csum = x; csum  0; csum = ((rand() % 2 ) == 0) ? csum + 
1: csum - 1) {
len++;
if ((csum == ULONG_MAX)  (len == ULONG_MAX)) {
  return wrap(len);
}
  }

  return wrap(len);
)
 8  code  8 

I do not know if the compiler would have optimized it that way anyway
and if there is any difference (besides the overflow checks).

 set.seed(1); system.time( z9_1 - replicate(1000, f9()) )
   User  System verstrichen 
  0.076   0.004   0.084 
 range(z9_1)
[1]   1 1449034
 length(z9_1)
[1] 1000

print(paste(size listX , object.size(listX)))
print(paste(size listBy , object.size(listBy)))
print(paste(length , object.size(nrow(listX

tableAgg - aggregate(x = listX

Why would R create such a long vector (my original lists , and is there a
way to avoid this error ?

[R] efficient way to reduce running time

2011-08-02 Thread Kathie
Dear R users,

Would you plz tell me how to avoid this for loop blow??

I think there might be a better way to reduce running time.

--
## y1 and y2 are n*1 vectors

for (k in 1:n){
ymax - max( y1[k], y2[k] )
   
i - 0:ymax

sums- -lgamma(y1[k]-i+1)-lgamma(i+1)-lgamma(y2[k]-i+1)

maxsums - max(sums)

sums - sums - maxsums

lsum - log( sum(exp(sums)) ) + maxsums

logbp[k] - y1[k]  + y2[k]  + lsum
}



Any suggestion will be greatly appreciated.

Regards,

Kathryn Lord

[R] Standard Deviation of a matrix

2011-08-02 Thread chakri
Hello,

My R knowledge could not take me any further, so this request !

I have a matrix of dimensions (1185 X 1185). I want to calculate standard
deviation of entire matrix. 
sd function of {stats} calculates standard deviation for each row/column,
giving 1 X 1185 matrix as result. I would like to have 1 X 1 matrix as
result.

Any ideas, how to do this ?

TIA

[R] Using Function

2011-08-02 Thread Silvano

Hi,

I have some simple statistics to calculate for a large 
number of variables.

I created a simple function to apply to variables.
I would like the variable name to be placed automatically.
I tried the following function but is not working.

desc = function(x){
media = mean(x, na.rm=T)
desvio = sd(x, na.rm=T)
cv = desvio/media*100
saida = cbind(media, desvio, cv)
colnames(saida) = c(NULL, 'Média', 
'Desvio', 'CV')

rownames(saida) = c(x)
saida
}

desc(Idade)

Média  Desvio  CV
Idade 44.04961 16.9388 38.4539

How do you get the variable name is placed as the first 
element?


My objective is get something like:

rbind(
desc(Altura),
desc(Idade),
desc(IMC),
desc(FC),
desc(CIRCABD),
desc(GLICOSE),
desc(UREIA),
desc(CREATINA),
desc(CTOTAL),
desc(CHDL),
desc(CLDL),
desc(CVLDL),
desc(TRIG),
desc(URICO),
desc(SAQRS),
desc(SOKOLOW_LYON),
desc(CORNELL),
desc(QRS_dur),
desc(Interv_QT)
)

Thanks a lot,

Re: [R] Standard Deviation of a matrix

2011-08-02 Thread Paul Hiemstra
 Hi!

The sample below should give you what you want:

M = matrix(runif(100), 10, 10)
sd(as.numeric(M))

So the as.numeric command is the key. It transforms the matrix to a 1D
vector. Or alternatively without using as.numeric:

M = matrix(runif(100), 10, 10)
M
dim(M) = 100
M
sd(M)

Here I use the dim command to set the dimensions to a vector of 100 long.

cheers,
Paul

 Greetings all,
 I am getting this error that is driving me nuts... (not a long trip, haha)

 I have a set of files and in these files I want to calculate ttests on

 want a variable here). Also these files are in many different
 directories so I want a way filter out the junk...  Anyway I don't
 believe that this is related to my errors but I mention it none the
 less.

 Error in tt_pvalue[i] - tt$p.value : object 'tt_pvalue' not found
 # I tried setting up a vector...
 # as.vector(tt_pvalue, mode=any) ### but NO GO
...an awesome alternative is to use ldply from the plyr package:

library(plyr)
files_to_test - list.files (pattern = kegg.combine)
tt_pvalue - ldply(files_to_test, function(fname) {
raw_data - read.table (files_to_test[i], header=TRUE, sep= )

tmpB - raw_data[,compareB]
tt - t.test (tmpA, tmpB, var.equal=TRUE)
return(data.frame(fname = fname, pvalue = tt$p.value))
}, .progress = TRUE)

This saves you some bookkeeping (no need to create tt_pvalue in advance
and keep track of the iterator (i)) and you get a nice progress bar
(good when loops take long). ldply (and other plyr functions) are what I
use most when processing large amounts of information.

cheers,

 file.name = paste(ttest.results., compareA, compareB, )
 setwd(save_to)

[R] Problem Installing/Uninstalling Rattle

2011-08-02 Thread adarwish
Rattle won't install properly on my Windows 7 64 bit laptop.

Here is what I've tried:

I've followed the instructions here:
http://rattle.togaware.com/rattle-install-mswindows.html
I had R installed already.
I downloaded the GTK+ packages, unzipped the 32 bit one into c:\gtkwin32.

I put c:\gtkwin32\bin in the system variables PATH.

I launched R, installed the rattle package, called the rattle library,
called rattle().

It told me RGtk2 could not be found and asked to install it.  I let it
download it to install, but still nothing.

Restarting/resintalling R has not helped.  And when I try
remove.packages(rattle) I get the error:

Removing package(s) from ‘C:/Users/darwish/Documents/R/win-library/2.13’
(as ‘lib’ is unspecified)
Error in match(x, table, nomatch = 0L) : 
  'match' requires vector arguments

I've restarted R before trying anything multiple times.

From what I understand, I need to clean everything off and start anew.  How
do I remove rattle so I can start fresh?  What did I do wrong in my steps?  

Thanks in advance.

[R] Functions for Sum of determinants of ranges of matrix subsets

2011-08-02 Thread john james
Dear R-help list,
Pls I have this problem. Suppose I have a matrix of size nxn say, generated as 
follows
 
z-matrix(rnorm(n*n,0,1),nrow=n)
 
I want to write a function such that for i in 1:n, I will remove the rows and 
columns 
corresponding to i (so, will be left with n-1*n-1 submatrix in each cases). Now 
I need
the sum of the determinant of each of this submatrices. As an example, if n=3, 
it means I will have det(1strow and 1stcolum removed) + det(2ndrow and 2ndcolum 
removed) + det(3rdrow and 3rdcolum removed).
 
Any help will be appreciated. Thanks

Re: [R] Clean up a scatterplot with too much data

2011-08-02 Thread Dennis Murphy
In addition to the other responses (all of which I liked), a couple of
other alternatives to consider are 2D density plots (see ?kde2d in the
MASS package, for example) or geom_tile() in the ggplot2 package,
which you can think of as a 3D histogram projected to 2D with color
corresponding to (relative) frequency, as suggested by Paul Hiemstra.
geom_tile() is a discretized, gridded version of a hexbin plot, but I
would start with the hexbin myself. I echo KOH's comment: make sure
you remove the outliers first, especially that one in the upper left
corner :)

After looking at your plot, here's my question: why would you plot
kills/minute vs. minutes played? Doesn't the first variable render the
second one moot? Wouldn't kills vs. minutes played be a more relevant
(scatter)plot? If you have information on the skill level of the
players, you could incorporate that information into the plot as well.
There are several nice ways to go if this is the case.

If kills/minute is the more appropriate measure, a univariate density
plot would make sense, or a histogram.

HTH,
Dennis

Re: [R] Identifying US holidays

2011-08-02 Thread R. Michael Weylandt michael.weyla...@gmail.com
Now that I'm back at my computer, I'll actually suggest you do something
else entirely.

If you look at the code of holidayNYSE() or by calling listHolidays() of the
timeDate package you'll see that there are many many functions that get
every conceivable holiday directly. I'll let you pick the holidays you want,
but a simple script might be like this:

x-seq(as.Date(2011-01-01), as.Date(2011-12-31),by=day)

GetHolidays - function(x) {
years = as.POSIXlt(x)$year+1900
years = unique(years)
holidays - NULL
for (y in years) {
#If you don't need the if/then statements to include which years something
was a NYSE holiday, you should drop the loop since the holiday functions are
vectorized
if (y = 1885)
holidays - c(holidays, as.character(USNewYearsDay(y)))
if (y = 1885)
holidays - c(holidays, as.character(USIndependenceDay(y)))
if (y = 1885)
holidays - c(holidays, as.character(USThanksgivingDay(y)))
if (y = 1885)
holidays - c(holidays, as.character(USChristmasDay(y)))
 }
 holidays = as.Date(holidays,format=%Y-%m-%d)
 ans = x %in% holidays
return(ans)
}

This should return a boolean vector indicating which dates fall on the
selected holidays: feel free to add/delete holidays as you wish. To get the
actual holiday dates, this should work: x[GetHolidays(x)]. If you want to
identify things by holiday, you'll only have to modify the script slightly.
Let me know if I can help further!

It would be easier if you described your data rather than just tell us their

So you are trying to form a table of the max of 5 variables over the 
cartesian product of 10 classifiers? That's basically an infinite number of 
cells.

 Thank you for your help,

[R] Help with aggregate syntax for a multi-column function please.

2011-08-02 Thread Michael Karol
Dear R-experts:

 

I am using a function called AUC whose arguments are data, time, id, and
dv.
 
data is the name of the dataframe, 
time is the independent variable column name, 
id is the subject id and 
dv is the dependent variable.  
 
The function computes area under the curve by trapezoidal rule, for each
subject id.
 
I would like to embed this in aggregate to further subset by each Cycle,
DoseDayNominal and Drug, but I can't seem to get the aggregate syntax
correct.  All the examples I can find use single column function such as
mean, whereas this AUC function requires four arguments.
 
Could someone kindly show me the syntax?
 
This is what I've tried so far:
 
AUC.DF- aggregate(PKdata, list(PKdata$Cycle, PKdata$DoseDayNominal,
PKdata$Drug), 
   function(x,tm,pt,conc) {AUC(x)},
tm=TimeBestEstimate, pt=Pt, conc=ConcentrationBQLzero )
 
AUC.DF- aggregate(PKdata, list(PKdata$Cycle, PKdata$DoseDayNominal,
PKdata$Drug), 
   function(x) {AUC(x,TimeBestEstimate, Pt,
ConcentrationBQLzero )} )
 
AUC syntax is:
args(AUC)
function (data, time = TIME, id = ID, dv = DV) 
 
 
thanks

 

Regards, 

Michael

[R] identifying weeks (dates) that certain days (dates) fall into

2011-08-02 Thread Dimitri Liakhovitski
Hello!

I have dates for the beginning of each week, e.g.:
weekly-data.frame(week=seq(as.Date(2010-04-01),
as.Date(2011-12-26),by=week))
week  # each week starts on a Monday

I also have a vector of dates I am interested in, e.g.:
july4-as.Date(c(2010-07-04,2011-07-04))

I would like to flag the weeks in my weekly$week that contain those 2
individual dates.
I can only think of a very clumsy way of doing it:

myrows-c(which(weekly$week==weekly$week[weekly$weekjuly4[1]][1]-7),
which(weekly$week==weekly$week[weekly$weekjuly4[2]][1]-7))
weekly$flag-0
weekly$flag[myrows]-1

It's clumsy - because actually, my vector of dates of interest (july4
above) is much longer.
Is there maybe a more elegant way of doing it?
Thank you!

[R] matrix indexing (igraph ?)

2011-08-02 Thread Robinson, David G
I realize that matrix indexing has been addressed in various flavors, but I'm 
stumped and didn't find anything in the archives.  It's not clear if it is an 
igraph issue or a more general problem. Thanks in advance for your patience.

I am using igraph to read a gml file 
(http://www-personal.umich.edu/~mejn/netdata/football.zip
). The gml file contains vertex attributes (conference and team) that are 
provided as character/integer values.

I would like to build a matrix of dimension (length.team, length.conference) 
where the elements are zero except for 1's at the location of index [team, 
conference].

Here is a snippet of code that hopefully captures what I am trying to do:

original-read.graph(./Data/football/football.gml, format=gml)
conf.list- get.vertex.attribute(original, 'value', index=V(original))+1
team.list- get.vertex.attribute(original, 'id', index=V(original))+1
temp- matrix(0,115,12)
temp[team.list, conf.list]-1

Unfortunately, temp[] is filled with 1's.

However, if I try:
c.list=c(1,3,5)
t.list=c(2,4,6)
temp[t.list,c.list]-1

then things work as I would expect.  FWIW - I have tried 
as.integer(get.vertex.attribute(...)) with no luck.

Thanks for any suggestions.

[R] merging lists within lists via time stamp

2011-08-02 Thread tomtomme
From multiple data.frames I created two lists, one with temperature, one with
gps data. With your help and lapply I managed to interpolate the timestamps
of gps and temperature data. Now I want to merge/join both lists via the
time-stamp, taking only times, where both lists have data. 
For the single data-frames that worked just fine with: 

both - merge(gps,temp)

For the two lists of data.frames I first tried an lapply over both
lists...something like

both - lapply(temp, gps, function(x){x - merge

Then I found both-merge.list(gps,temp), but this doesn´t work either. It
just transfers the first list gps to both

Thanks for any hint, Thomas

Re: [R] execute r-code stored in a string variable

2011-08-02 Thread Samuel Le
Yes, you can use:
eval(parse(text=c))

On the other hand I would not recommend to use c as a variable name as it is 
the name of a very important function in the R language to aggregate data.

HTH,

Re: [R] Help with aggregate syntax for a multi-column function please.

2011-08-02 Thread Jean V Adams
Michael,

The function aggregate() is not going to work for your situation.  The 
function is applied to the individual columns of the subsetted data, not 
the subsetted data frame as a whole.  The help file reads: Then, each of 
the variables (columns) in x is split into subsets of cases (rows) of 
identical combinations of the components of by, and FUN is applied to each 
such subset with further arguments in ... passed to it.

If you can rewrite your function so that it is a function with one 
argument, the data frame alone, then using the by() function should give 
you what you need.  Here is a simple example:

df - data.frame(a=1:5, b=2:6, i=c(1, 1, 1, 2, 2))

junk - function(df) {
sum(df$a^2) + prod(df$b)
}

data.frame(index=sort(unique(df$i)), results=as.vector(by(df[, c(a, 
b)], df$i, junk)))

Hope this helps.

Jean

Dear R-experts:

 

I am using a function called AUC whose arguments are data, time, id, and
dv.
 
data is the name of the dataframe, 
time is the independent variable column name, 
id is the subject id and 
dv is the dependent variable. 
 
The function computes area under the curve by trapezoidal rule, for each
subject id.
 
I would like to embed this in aggregate to further subset by each Cycle,
DoseDayNominal and Drug, but I can't seem to get the aggregate syntax
correct.  All the examples I can find use single column function such as
mean, whereas this AUC function requires four arguments.
 
Could someone kindly show me the syntax?
 
This is what I've tried so far:
 
AUC.DF- aggregate(PKdata, list(PKdata$Cycle, PKdata$DoseDayNominal,
PKdata$Drug), 
   function(x,tm,pt,conc) {AUC(x)},
tm=TimeBestEstimate, pt=Pt, conc=ConcentrationBQLzero )
 
AUC.DF- aggregate(PKdata, list(PKdata$Cycle, PKdata$DoseDayNominal,
PKdata$Drug), 
   function(x) {AUC(x,TimeBestEstimate, Pt,
ConcentrationBQLzero )} )
 
AUC syntax is:
args(AUC)
function (data, time = TIME, id = ID, dv = DV) 
 
 
thanks

Michael

Subject: [R] Loops to assign a unique ID to a column

Dear R help,

 

I am fairly new in data management and programming in R, and am trying to
write what is probably a simple loop, but am not having any luck. I have a
dataframe with something like the following (but much bigger):

 

Dates-c(12/10/2010,12/10/2010,12/10/2010,13/10/2010, 13/10/2010,
13/10/2010)

Groups-c(A,B,B,A,B,C)

data-data.frame(Dates, Groups)

 

I would like to create a new column in the dataframe, and give each distinct
date by group a unique identifying number starting with 1, so that the
resulting column would look something like:

 

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

 

The loop that I have started to write is something like this (but doesn't
work!):

 

data$ID-as.number(c()) 

for(i in unique(data$Dates)){

  for(j in unique(data$Groups)){ data$ID[i,j]-i

  i-i+1

  }

}

 

Am I on the right track?

 

Any help on this is much appreciated!

 

Chandra

[R] vglm: warnings and errors

2011-08-02 Thread Sramkova, Anna (IEE)
Hello,

I am using multinomial logit regression for the first time, and I am trying to 
understand the warnings and errors I get.


My data consists of 200 to 600 samples with ~25 predictors (these are principal 
components). The response has three categories.

I use the function vglm from the package VGAM, called as follows: 
fit1-vglm(fmla, data=tr, multinomial,weights=regwt, maxit=500)

regwt are Epanechnikov weights

In general, the regression works, but 

- often, one of the categories has posterior probability zero, but the 
remaining two probabilities are non-zero (although very small)

- I receive many warnings of the following type:
  
   in checkwz(wz, m = M , trace = trace, wzeps = control$wzepsilo): n elements 
replaced by 1.819e-12
   
in tfun(mu = mu, y = y, w =w, res = FALSE, eta = eta, ...: fitted values 
close to 0 or 1

   ... if I understand it correctly, these have to do with the variance of the 
predictions being too small?

- In some cases, I get an error: Error in devmu[smallmu] = smy * log(smu): NAs 
are not allowed in subscripted arguments, sometimes this error goes away when 
I decrease the size of the training set.


I would like to know if this is expected behavior for some types of data sets. 
The manual to VGAM states that multinomial is prone to numerical difficulties 
if the groups are separable and/or fitted probabilities are close to 0 or 1, 
but does not explain why. The latter could be my case.

I have to run the regression on 10,000s of data sets, so I would like to find a 
setting in which things go smoothly (i.e. without errors)

I realize that this is probably more of a methodological than technical 
question, but maybe you can give some rules of thumb about a  suitable number 
of samples/predictors or point me to some literature that would help me 
understand my problems.

Thanks

Anna

Re: [R] Display/show the evaluation result of R commands automatically

2011-08-02 Thread Anthony Ching Ho Ng
R-help and Barry

Thank you for your suggestions. It works, and may I ask how I am able
to do the opposite (disable the call back, so that I could control
when to show and suppress the output). I would like to make a function
to enable/disable the callback similar to the one as follow:

enableOutput - function() {
 h - taskCallbackManager()
h$add(function(expr, value, ok, visible)
{if(!visible){print(value)};TRUE})
}

disableOutput - function() {

}

This shows output feature (and use ''; to suppress the output) is the
default behavior of Matlab which I find it quite useful (without
having to type in the variable name again every time to see the result
of the expression). So I am just curious to know how to do it in R.

Best Regards,

Anthony

 Hello R-help,

 I wonder if it is possible to configure R, so that it will

 (similar to the behavior of Matlab)

 i.e. If I type x - 8

 it will print 8 in the command prompt, instead of having type x
 explicitly to show the result and perhaps put an ; at the end to
 suppress the output.

 i.e. x - 8;


 The first thing I think you can do by adding a task callback manager
 to print the value if the value would otherwise be invisible:

   h - taskCallbackManager()
   h$add(function(expr, value, ok, visible) {if(!visible){print(value)};TRUE})

  The semicolon thing would probably need rewriting bits of R at the C
 code level.

  I don't think many people would use it though. And my code above
 might break things. I don't use it.

Re: [R] Memory limit in Aggregate()

Hi Peter,
Thanks for your answer.
I made a mistake in the script I copied sorry !

The description of the object : listX has 3 column, listBy has 4 column, and
they have 9000 rows :

print(paste(ncol x , length((listX
print(paste(ncol By , length((listBy
print(paste(nrow , length((listX[[1]]

[1];ncol x  3
[1];ncol By  4

It seems the large (=4) number of columns in listBy creates the
troubles...

[R] My R code is not efficient

2011-08-02 Thread Kathie
Dear R users,

I have two n*1 integer vectors, y1 and y2, where n is very very large.

I'd like to compute


elbp = 4^(y1) * 5^(y2) * sum_{i=0}^{max(y1, y2)}  [{ (y1-i)! * (i)! *
(y2-i)! }^(-1)];


that is, I need to compute elbp for each (y1, y2) pair.

So I made R code like below, but I don't think it's efficient

Would you plz tell me how to avoid this for loop blow??



--
for (k in 1:n){
ymax - max( y1[k], y2[k] )
   
i - 0:ymax

sums- -lgamma(y1[k]-i+1)-lgamma(i+1)-lgamma(y2[k]-i+1)

maxsums - max(sums)

sums - sums - maxsums

lsum - log( sum(exp(sums)) ) + maxsums

lbp[k] - y1[k]*log(4)  + y2[k]*log(5)  + lsum

}
elbp - exp(lbp)



Any suggestion will be greatly appreciated.

[R] Extract p value from coxme object

2011-08-02 Thread Catarina Miranda
Dear R experts;

I am trying to extract the p values from a coxme object (package coxme). I
can see the value in the model output, but I wanted to have the result with
a higher number of decimal places.
I have searched the mailing list and followed equivalent suggestions for
nlme/lme objects, but I wasn't successful.

Thanks;

Catarina

Dear R users,

I have two n*1 integer vectors, y1 and y2, where n is very very large.

I'd like to compute


elbp = 4^(y1) * 5^(y2) * sum_{i=0}^{max(y1, y2)} [{ (y1-i)! * (i)! *
(y2-i)! }^(-1)];


that is, I need to compute elbp for each (y1, y2) pair.

So I made R code like below, but I don't think it's efficient

Would you plz tell me how to avoid this for loop blow??

for (k in 1:n){
ymax - max( y1[k], y2[k] )

i - 0:ymax

sums- -lgamma(y1[k]-i+1)-lgamma(i+1)-lgamma(y2[k]-i+1)

maxsums - max(sums)

sums - sums - maxsums

lsum - log( sum(exp(sums)) ) + maxsums

lbp[k] - y1[k]*log(4) + y2[k]*log(5) + lsum

}
elbp - exp(lbp)

Any suggestion will be greatly appreciated.

 Thank you everyone for your kind input,

 Enclosed input file (reduced to 10 X 10 matrix), scripts and output for
 your

 Code 1:

 SD

First, your data attachment did not come through the list.  Second, decimals 
are not a problem.  Third, you don't have a matrix, you have a data frame 
(read.table produces data frames).  As long as all columns are numeric you 
could do something like

sd(c(as.matrix(m)))

You could also convert to a matrix on input if you really don't need a 
dataframe for different column types.

Would this work for you?

if you want to know where the i-th element falls percentage-wise in the
distribution of a vector:

sum(x = x[i])/length(x)

This could be turned into a function:

pEmpirical - function(i,x) {
if (length(i)  1) return(apply(as.matrix(i), 1, pEmpirical,x))
r = sum(x = x[i])/length(x)
return(r)

Re: [R] Help with aggregate syntax for a multi-column function please.

2011-08-02 Thread Dennis Murphy
Hi:

Another way to do this is to use one of the summarization packages.
The following uses the plyr package.

The first step is to create a function that takes a data frame as
input and outputs either a data frame or a scalar. In this case, the
function returns a scalar, but if you want to carry along additional
variables in the output, you can replace it with a data frame that
returns the set of variables you want. You don't need to return the
grouping variables, but no harm is done if you do.

# This assumes the existence of a function AUC with the arguments
#  you stated in your post. I presume it returns a scalar value; if not,
# you should modify it to return a data frame instead. It would probably
# be better to modify AUC and call it in ddply() directly, but without the
# function code there's not much one can do...
myAUC - function(df)
   AUC(df, 'TimeBestEstimate', 'Pt','ConcentrationBQLzero')

library('plyr')
ddply(PKdata, .(Cycle, DoseDayNominal, Drug), myAUC)

This is obviously untested, so caveat emptor. Both plyr and data.table
can accept functions with multiple arguments and do the right thing.
The trick in plyr is to write a function that takes a generic input
object (e.g., a (sub)data frame) and then uses (the variables within)
it to do the necessary calculations. Generally, you want the output of
the function to be compatible with the type of output you want from
the **ply() function. In this case, ddply() means data frame input,
data frame output; alply() would mean array input and list output,
etc.

If this doesn't work, please provide a reproducible example.

HTH,
Dennis

On Tue, Aug 2, 2011 at 7:32 AM, Michael Karol mka...@syntapharma.com wrote:
 Dear R-experts:



 I am using a function called AUC whose arguments are data, time, id, and

 data is the name of the dataframe,
 time is the independent variable column name,
 id is the subject id and
 dv is the dependent variable.

 The function computes area under the curve by trapezoidal rule, for each
 subject id.

 I would like to embed this in aggregate to further subset by each Cycle,
 DoseDayNominal and Drug, but I can't seem to get the aggregate syntax
 correct.  All the examples I can find use single column function such as
 mean, whereas this AUC function requires four arguments.

 Could someone kindly show me the syntax?

 This is what I've tried so far:

 AUC.DF- aggregate(PKdata, list(PKdata$Cycle, PKdata$DoseDayNominal,
 PKdata$Drug),
                   function(x,tm,pt,conc) {AUC(x)},
 tm=TimeBestEstimate, pt=Pt, conc=ConcentrationBQLzero )

 AUC syntax is:
 args(AUC)
 function (data, time = TIME, id = ID, dv = DV)

[R] lattice: index plot

2011-08-02 Thread Thaler, Thorn, LAUSANNE, Applied Mathematics
Dear all,

How can I make an index plot with lattice, that is plotting a vector
simply against its particular index in the vector, i.e. something
similar to 

y - rnorm(10)
plot(y)

I don't want to specify the x's manually, as this could become
cumbersome when having multiple panels.

I tried something like

library(lattice)
mp - function(x, y, ...) {
  x - 1:length(y)
  panel.xyplot(x, y, ...)
}

pp - function(x, y, ...) {
  list(xlim = extendrange(1:length(y)), ylim = extendrange(y))
}

set.seed(123)
y - rnorm(10)
xyplot(y ~ 1, panel = mp, prepanel = pp, xlab=Index)

but I was wondering whether there is a more straightforward way?

By the way, if I do not specify the ylim in the prepanel function the
plot is clipped, but reading Deepayan's book, p.140 :

[...], so a user-specified prepanel function is not required to return
all of these components [i.e. xlim, ylim, xat, yat, dx and dy]; any
missing component will be replaced by the corresponding default.

I'd understand that if I do not specify ylim it is calculated
automatically? Not a big thing though, but it seems to me to be
inconsistent.

Any help appreciated. 

KR,

-Thorn

Re: [R] Loops to assign a unique ID to a column

2011-08-02 Thread Bert Gunter
Whoa!

1. First and most important, there is very likely no reason you need
to do this. R can handle multiple groupings automatically in fitting
and plotting without creating artificial labels of the sort you appear
to want to create. Please read an Intro to R and/or get help to see
how.

2. The solution offered below is unnecessarily convoluted. Here is a
simpler and faster one:

z -  within(z, indx - as.numeric(interaction(Dates,Groups,
  drop=TRUE, lex.order=TRUE)))


Explanation:

interaction() produces all possible combinations the individual
groupings; drop=FALSE throws away any unused combinations,
lex.order-TRUE lexicographically orders the levels as you indicated.
?interaction for details.
By default, the result of the above is a factor, which as.numeric()
converts to the numeric codes used in factor representations. ?factor
 .
Finally, within() interprets and makes changes within z. The changed
result is then assigned back to z so that it is not lost. ?within

Cheers,
Bert

 Subject: [R] Loops to assign a unique ID to a column

 Dear R help,



 I am fairly new in data management and programming in R, and am trying to
 write what is probably a simple loop, but am not having any luck. I have a
 dataframe with something like the following (but much bigger):



 Dates-c(12/10/2010,12/10/2010,12/10/2010,13/10/2010, 13/10/2010,
 13/10/2010)

 Groups-c(A,B,B,A,B,C)

 data-data.frame(Dates, Groups)



 I would like to create a new column in the dataframe, and give each distinct
 date by group a unique identifying number starting with 1, so that the
 resulting column would look something like:



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



 The loop that I have started to write is something like this (but doesn't
 work!):



 data$ID-as.number(c())

 for(i in unique(data$Dates)){

  for(j in unique(data$Groups)){ data$ID[i,j]-i

  i-i+1

  }

 }



 Am I on the right track?



 Any help on this is much appreciated!

Sarah (sic) is on the right track, just lose the commas so that you don't drop

Also notice that there is a named form of cbind

  A foo B C D E
1 1   4 1 1 1 1
2 2   5 2 2 2 2

and that things will work (mostly) with matrices and data frames too:

 newcol - data.frame(x=4:6,y=6:4)
 cbind(x[1], newcol, x[2:ncol(x)])
  A x y B C D E
1 1 4 6 1 1 1 1

  A x y B C D E
1 1 4 6 1 1 1 1
2 2 5 5 2 2 2 2
3 3 6 4 3 3 3 3

(The mostly bit refers to some slight oddness occurring if you cbind a matrix 
with no column names:

 cbind(x[1], cbind(4:6,7:9), x[2:ncol(x)])
  A 1 2 B C D E

Re: [R] lattice: index plot

2011-08-02 Thread Peter Ehlers

Does

Peter Ehlers

Dear all,

How can I make an index plot with lattice, that is plotting a vector
simply against its particular index in the vector, i.e. something
similar to

y- rnorm(10)
plot(y)

I don't want to specify the x's manually, as this could become
cumbersome when having multiple panels.

I tried something like

library(lattice)
mp- function(x, y, ...) {
   x- 1:length(y)
   panel.xyplot(x, y, ...)
}

pp- function(x, y, ...) {
   list(xlim = extendrange(1:length(y)), ylim = extendrange(y))
}

set.seed(123)
y- rnorm(10)
xyplot(y ~ 1, panel = mp, prepanel = pp, xlab=Index)

but I was wondering whether there is a more straightforward way?

By the way, if I do not specify the ylim in the prepanel function the
plot is clipped, but reading Deepayan's book, p.140 :

[...], so a user-specified prepanel function is not required to return
all of these components [i.e. xlim, ylim, xat, yat, dx and dy]; any
missing component will be replaced by the corresponding default.

I'd understand that if I do not specify ylim it is calculated
automatically? Not a big thing though, but it seems to me to be
inconsistent.

Any help appreciated.

Re: [R] Memory limit in Aggregate()

Hi Peter,

Yes I have a large number of factors in the listBy table.

Do you mean that aggregate() creates a complete cartesian product of the

Am I correct in saying that this is a bit subtle: x[1] and
x[2:ncol(x)] are actually lists with vector components; so you're
cbinding lists, which retain the labels, no?

If so, it's a nice subtlety to remember, anyway.

Hm, at least in recent versions that shouldn't happen. The meat of 
aggregate.data.frame is

ans - lapply(split(e, grp), FUN, ...)

where grp is a numerical coding of the factor combination for each cell. That 
could conceivably contain some large values, but since it is numeric (and not a 
factor with levels, say,  0:(n1*n2*n3*n4-1)), split should not generate more 
groups than are present in data. 

Some of this stuff was rewritten in Jan 2010. You might want to try a version 
which is later than yours from May 2009...

Re: [R] Data frame to matrix - revisited

2011-08-02 Thread Dennis Murphy
Hi:

Here are a couple of ways. Since your data frame does not contain a
'c' in ID2, we redefine the factor to give it all five levels rather
than the observed four:

 df - read.table(textConnection(
+ ID1 ID2 Value
+ a b 1
+ b d 1
+ c a 2
+ c e 1
+ d a 1
+ e d 2), header = TRUE)
str(df)
 str(df)
'data.frame':   6 obs. of  3 variables:
 $ ID1  : Factor w/ 5 levels a,b,c,d,..: 1 2 3 3 4 5
 $ ID2  : Factor w/ 4 levels a,b,d,e: 2 3 1 4 1 3
 $ Value: int  1 1 2 1 1 2

df$ID2 - factor(df$ID2, levels = letters[1:5])
 str(df)
'data.frame':   6 obs. of  3 variables:
 $ ID1  : Factor w/ 5 levels a,b,c,d,..: 1 2 3 3 4 5
 $ ID2  : Factor w/ 5 levels a,b,c,d,..: 2 4 1 5 1 4
 $ Value: int  1 1 2 1 1 2

Now we're good...

# (1) xtabs:
with(df, xtabs(Value ~ ID1 + ID2) + xtabs(Value ~ ID2 + ID1))
   ID2
ID1 a b c d e
  a 0 1 2 1 0
  b 1 0 0 1 0
  c 2 0 0 0 1
  d 1 1 0 0 2
  e 0 0 1 2 0

# (2) acast() in the reshape2 package:
library('reshape2')
v1 - acast(df, ID1 ~ ID2, value_var = 'Value', drop = FALSE, fill = 0)
v2 - acast(df, ID2 ~ ID1, value_var = 'Value', drop = FALSE, fill = 0)

How can I extract the names from this vector according to their

the base packages, and another vector with the names of the

Note that some people may tell you that this form below should be  
preferred because the 'which' is superfluous. It is not. The [  
function returns all the NA's fr reasons that are unclear to me. It is  
wiser to use `which` so that you get numerical indexing.

 names(my.vector[my.vector==recommended])

On my system it produces 493 items most of them NA's.

[R] Need to compute density as done by panel.histogram

2011-08-02 Thread Sébastien Bihorel
Hi,

This might be a simple problem but I don't know how to calculate a random
variable density the way panel.histogram does it before it creates the
actual density rectangles. The documentation says that it uses the density
function but the actual code suggests that the hist.constructor function
(which does not seem to be easily accessible).

Any suggestion for computing the density values of foo$x in the following
example will be welcome.


require(lattice)
set.seed(12345)

foo1 -
data.frame(x=rnorm(100,0,0.1),grp=1,by=rep(1:2,each=50),by2=rep(1:2,times=50))
foo2 -
data.frame(x=rnorm(100,2,1),grp=2,by=rep(1:2,each=50),by2=rep(1:2,times=50))
foo - rbind(foo1,foo2)

xplot - histogram(~x,data=foo, type='density')


PS: the present question relates to a workaround for another problem
previously submitted to the list (

Does anyone know how to create a 3D Bargraph using ggplot2/qplot. I don't

Yes

If you are doing lots of analyses with weighted data you might want to
look at the survey package.  It also has a density estimator, in
svysmooth(), which works very much the same way as density() for
weighted data, but doesn't complain about rescaling the weights.

It is not possible.

That is being far too generous.  Setting aside that prettiness may be 
subjective, if changing to a 3D effect only affected the prettiness, 
there would not be the negative reaction to it that there is.  In fact, 
a 3D effect reduces the ability for a graph to be correctly understood. 
 It distorts the data.  When I see a 3D bar plot, I think This person 
wants me to think I've been presented with information, but they have 
deliberately chosen a format that distorts the data.  I wonder what they 
are hiding?


At least you didn't ask about a 3D pie chart.

If you want graphs like that, you should be using Excel, not R.

[R] How to find the parameter of a power function to fit simulation data to it for the tail?

2011-08-02 Thread Paul Menzel
Dear R folks,


having simulation data in a vector n2off, I know that they should be
similar to a power function f [1], f(n) = n^(-1/r), r ∈ ℕ\{0}, and I
want to find the value for r best fitting the simulation data.
Furthermore I know that this is only true for big n, that means n2off(n)
~ f(n) ⇔ n2off(n)/f(n) → 1 for n → ∞. (The vector n2off is considered a
function n2off(n).)

I came up with the following example where I artificially munch(?) the
values of a known function, n^(-½), and the fit should hopefully return
r = 2, that means n^(-½).

 n - 1:10 # Should be more data points, but not useful for including 
into an email.
 n
 [1]  1  2  3  4  5  6  7  8  9 10
 n2 - n**(-0.5)
 n2
 [1] 1.000 0.7071068 0.5773503 0.500 0.4472136 0.4082483 
0.3779645
 [8] 0.3535534 0.333 0.3162278
 set.seed(1); n2off - n2 + runif(1)/100 # for greater n the divisor 
should also be increased I guess.
 n2off
 [1] 1.0026551 0.7097619 0.5800054 0.5026551 0.4498687 0.4109034 
0.3806196
 [8] 0.3562085 0.3359884 0.3188829

Weighting fits(?) larger n higher or only from certain n on, for example
n ≥ 100, is not considered in this example. And probably the data points
are too small in this function.

I have to admit that I am new to this topic and I am just overwhelmed
what I have found when searching for »gafit« in the r-help archive [2]
and »curve parameter fitting« in rseek.org [3].

Reading ?nlm, ?nlminb, ?opitimze and ?optim there are just too many
options there. Reading about gafit [4] it says that it is not
maintained.

Additionally I am not sure if this could be turned into a linear model
using log(n^(-1/r)) = -1/r log(n). Somewhere it said that linear
regression models have to fulfill certain assumptions.

So if somebody of you experienced users could point me to the “best”
function or package to use here and some literature regarding this issue
(fit only for big n) that would be much appreciated.


Thank you in advance,

Paul

less elaborate for further problems?

[R] Calculate mean ignore null

2011-08-02 Thread Jeffrey Joh

I have the following: 

Tout = c(., ., 
+ -51.0,  -9.6,  -9.6,  -9.6,  -9.6,  -9.6,  -9.6, 
+  -9.6,  -9.5,  -9.5,  -9.6,  -9.5,  -9.6,  -9.6,

+  -9.0,  -8.9,  -8.9,  -8.9)

 

How can I take the mean while ignoring the null values?  I don't want to delete 
the ., just ignore.  na.rm=TRUE does not work for this.

Re: [R] Calculate mean ignore null

2011-08-02 Thread R. Michael Weylandt michael.weyla...@gmail.com
Are you sure it doesn't? na.rm=T works for me, so I think your problem is
elsewhere.

Specifically, the example given below consists of 27 character strings, not
numbers, so there' so surprise R doesn't want to give you a mean -- to R,
it's as logical as asking for the average of a and Q5

Try this:

mean(as.double(Tout),na.rm=T)

I get -11.048 with a warning message saying that some NA's were created in
trying to coerce .  to a double.

Alternatively, if you didn't actually mean all those  marks below (in
which case I don't know what .  is in R), try this: mean(Tout[Tout != .
]), but again -- that's likely not your problem.

[R] Wrong values when projecting LatLong in UTM

2011-08-02 Thread Colin Bergeron
Hi R helpers,

I tried to convert a list of LatLong coordinates (in DD format) into UTM
zone 11 NAD 27. I first tried this from PBSmapping:

library(PBSmapping)
LatLong-cbind(c(56.85359, 56.85478),c(-118.4109, -118.4035))
colnames(LatLong)-c(X,Y)

attr(LatLong, projection) - UTM
attr(LatLong, zone) - 11
UTM-convUL(LatLong)


#and that's what I get
 UTM
  X Y
1 -120.9799 -1.068699
2 -120.9799 -1.068632

Now, the UTM values are supposed to be around:
X   Y
1 414040   6301764.2
2 414493   6301888.39

#  I don't know what is wrong, So, I then tried with rgdal


library(rgdal)

UTM-project(LatLong, +proj=utm +zone=11+ellps=NAD27)

# and that's what i get:

projected point not finite
projected point not finite

# Errors might come from the fact that I do have DD format in the LatLong
file. Maybe I should be able to specify that it is zone 11 north. What do
you think?

Re: [R] [Rd] example package for devel newcomers

2011-08-02 Thread Alexandre Aguiar
Em Segunda 01 Agosto 2011, você escreveu:
 Is there a preferred language you would like to use in your package
 development? I randomly downloaded packages until I found some that
 helped me along my way, and might be able to help you pick one. If you
 are just looking at building a package of R functions and data you
 have developed, possibly the following example will get you started
 till you feel comfortable with the Writing R Extensions
 documentation (http://cran.r-project.org/doc/manuals/R-exts.pdf):

Dan, your message is cool. Well, here is what my project is about: it is a 
package to embed php into R. Named Rphp for now. It is mostly done from 
scratch. I have loved R-exts.pdf. Great stuff.

Why embed php into R? My primary purpose is to use web content management 
systems (WCMS) ready and extensively tested code from R cgi scripts. 
Someone more experienced with php might think of other uses. My approach 
is RAD(ical) and innovative (IMextremelyHO :-D) because:
a) *any* php based WCMS can be used from R code with no php or html 
coding;
b) output fully compliant with the website appearance;
c) WCMS automatic upgrades and interfaces changes (skins or themes) will 
be so unlikey to cause need for maintenance in R cgi scripts;
d) R cgi scripts will not demand changes in php code;
e) the builtin php session support obviates the need for any special 
session coding by R (likely non-web) programmers;
f) potential for improved analysis of web databases and even of systems 
surveillance tasks.

During my explorations of the R interface for extensions and the time 
spent in this tiny project, some questions emerged.

1. my code uses no recursion but I do not really know what is inside php 
code. Stack size could be a concern. Has any of you there ever needed to 
allocate a new stack for a package? Is it better to wait for complaints 
(if anyone ever would like to try this package...)?

2. can R_registerRoutines be called more than once within the same library 
(the same DllInfo data) so that it can reconfigure itself on the fly?

3. Is it safe (I guess it is) to re-export a function pointer retrieved 
with R_GetCCallable?

4. when loading a second library (in this case libphp5.so) is it better to 
put it in the package library directory and load it using the 'char 
*path' member of DllInfo? Using a second library has implications:
a) a given R setup can be limited to the user space without root access;
b) in the case of desktops where someone might use Rphp, most systems do 
not have libphp5.so installed by default and installing it frequently 
means to install apache and all (many) related packages;
c) many sysadmins do not have root access but can compile their own php 
version;
d) building the libphp5.so may not be an easy task for many.

5. Similar to 3, is it safe to export functions of the second library? 
libphp5.so will not be registered to R and has some interesting functions 
that can be exported directly or as pointers within Rphp library. A 
stub function can be used.

6. related to 4, with the many machine architectures and operating systems 
around I think it is neither desirable nor feasible to distribute 
precompiled libphp5.so versions; the package itself can download (wget 
and curl are everywhere) and compile php. Compiling php is not a lengthy 
task (6m12.9s in my quadcore desktop) but is a lot tricky and demands 
several development packages not installed by default in desktop systems. 
Their installations would require root access. What is the suggested 
approach to deploy libphp5.so?

7. I do not know how to produce a version for windows if requested. I have 
only an old MSC++ 97 and lcc (current) and have xp in a virtual box. This 
concern includes php. Can I get help regarding windows in this list? It 
might mean actual work: adapting code, compiling, packaging, etc. Not 
sure what is needed.

8. system safety does not seem a concern regarding this use of php, but... 
Any suggestions?

I guess some manual steps will be necessary because of potential security 
breaches related to the use of a second library. Patching php to produce 
a special build to be used as the package library would not be a trivial 
task and would demand updates at every new php version. Something I can't 
assure I can do. And would have to distribute the whole php source code: 
still have to study php licensing scheme. 

BTW, I copied Rdynpriv.h by hand to my include path to get access 
to 'struct _DllInfo' definition. The R install process did not copy this 
file. Am I doing something wrong here?

Sorry for the lengthy message. Thanx for your help.
