[R] Replacing dates with consecutive observations

2009-01-21 Thread Alina Sheyman
I am working with a list of dates and I would like to replace each date with
the one that comes after, ie. 1/1/07 will become 1/5/07, 1/5/07 will become
1/7/07, etc. The number of days between my dates always varies, so I can't
just increase each one by 5 days or  so. Does anyone know of a way I can do
this in R?

thank you

[R] looking for matches

2008-11-17 Thread Alina Sheyman
My question is probably pretty basic, but since I'm really new to R, here it
goes 

 I have two separate data frames that include class names and various other
information on classes. I'm trying to create a match based on class names
and if a match exists to create a third data frame with the class name.

I was hoping to accomplish this with sapply, but I can't figure out if I can
embed an "if statement" with sapply. Does anyone know if that's a legit way
to accomplish what I am trying to do or is there some better way?

thank you,

Alina Sheyman

[R] (no subject)

2008-12-04 Thread Alina Sheyman
I'm trying to establish the occurrence of a specific day of the week in a
given month.
Namely I want to know if a specific Tuesday was the 2nd,3rd Tuesday in a
month.

Is there a good way to this in R?

[R] creating a map

2009-02-17 Thread Alina Sheyman
I'm trying to create a fairly basic map using R. What i want to get is the
map of the country with circles representing a count of students in each
state.
What I've done so far is as following -
  map("state")
 symbols(data1$count,circles=log(data1$count)*3,fg=col,bg=col,add=T,inches=F)

this gives me the map of the country, but one that's not populated by my
counts.
Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong?

Also, if anyone can recommend a good reference for creating maps in R, I'd
really appreciate that.

thank you

[R] color maps with counts

2009-02-18 Thread Alina Sheyman
I have yet another question concerning maps.
This time I want to create a colored map of number of students by state.
Can this be done using palettes in Rcolor brewer, is there some other way?

I've been looking through R archives, but am still really at a loss here, so
all help will be much appreciated.

Thank you!

[R] colored maps again

2009-02-19 Thread Alina Sheyman
I'm trying to create a colored map that would show the number of students
per state.
My data frame consists of two columns - state and count.
I'm using the following code

library(maps)
map("usa")
library(plotrix)
state.col<-color.scale(gre$count,0,0,c(0,1))
 map("state",fill=TRUE,col=state.col)

I'm getting a map, but the values are not being mapped to correct states.
What do I need to do to fix that?

[R] target of assignment expands to non-language object

2009-03-31 Thread Alina Sheyman
I'm running the following code

numbers <- 1:50
for (i in 1:50)
assign(paste("model",numbers[i]),i)<-(lm(temp$Overall.Scaled.Score~temp$raw.score))

where I want R to create 50 different models-1:50, but get the following
error message

"target of assignment expands to non-language object". I've tried it with
 paste("model",numbers[i]))<-(lm(temp$Overall.Scaled.Score~temp$raw.score)
and get the same error.

Does anyone know what the problem is or whether there's a better way to get
at what I'm trying to do?
