[R] Selecting vector elements using other vectors

2009-04-29 Thread 00alastair00

Dear R-Help,

I have a data frame and a vector

df=data.frame(Letter=c(Z,Q,R,A,E,F), Number=c(11,32,4,1,9,3))
v=c(C,Q,R,A,E)

From df, I'd like to construct a subset of the field Number, with
deletions dictated by the vector, v, of letters.  I've succeeded in doing
this for a single deletion (for example Letter=Q) with the following

df$Number[df$Letter != v[2]]

but am struggling do more than one at a time.  For example, 

df$Number[df$Letter != v[2:5]] 

gives the error:   Warning messages: 1: Is.na(e1) | is.na(e2) : longer
object length is not a multiple of shorter object length 2: In.  Perhaps
there is a much easier way to approach this...

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Alastair

[R] timeSeries and aggregation() question

2009-01-21 Thread 00alastair00

Hello,

I've a time series, T, for an irregular sequence of days (data for bank
holidays weekends have been removed).  I would like to aggregate this series
by into weeks using

aggregate(x, by=weeks, FUN=mean).

To do this, I think that x needs to be a timeSeries object, and when I try
to call

timeSeries(data=T, positions=irregular.sequence.of.days)

I get lots of NAs in the resulting object.  (Note: I've checked that
length(T)=length(irregular.sequence of days).  My dates are of the form
dd/mm/ in case it's relevant.)  

Thanks in advance!

[R] xreg in ARIMA modelling.

2008-11-27 Thread 00alastair00

Hello, 
Does anyone know how the parameter estimates are calculated for xreg
variables when called as part of an arima() command, or know of any
literature that provides this info?  In particular, I was wondering if there
is a quick way to compare different combinations of xreg variables in the
arima() fit in the same way that you would in multiple regression (using AIC
 R^2 etc.).  

Thanks very much!
