Re: [R] Minimum and blanks

2009-10-02 Thread Chris Li

Thanks Joris and Peter. Sorry for not giving enough details. I have tried
your suggestions and the problem is solved. Thank you. :)

 Chris, please always try to provide a minimal working example of code
 to see what is wrong.
 
 Something goes wrong with the input in your example. As Peter
 rightfully pointed out, your vector is considered a character vector.
 So you need to :
 
 1) replace  with NA
   e.g. x -  ifelse(x=='',NA,x)
 Better to do something like that when reading in the code.
 
 2) use the argument na.rm : min (x, na.rm=T)
 
 kind regards
 Joris

[R] Statistical analysis

2009-09-24 Thread Chris Li

Hi all,

I have got two datasets, one of them is rainfall data and the other one is
groundwater level data.

I would like to see whether there is a correlation between these two
datasets and if there is, to what extent they are correlated.

My stats background is limited, therefore any advice on which command I
should use in R would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

[R] Sorting

2009-09-23 Thread Chris Li

Hello,

Say I have a dataset as followed:

Category Value
b1
b2
a7
a1

Then, if I:

levels(Category)

It will return:
[a], [b]

But I want to keep the original order, i.e.:
[b], [a]

Is it possible to do it in R?

Thanks in advance!

[R] Rounding to the nearest 5

Hi all,

I want to round my values to the nearest 5.

For example, if I have a value of 11, I want R to round it to 10.

I have been searching for this command on the web and in the help file, but
I couldn't find anything useful.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Many thanks,

[R] How to calculate min of a dataset that contains empty column

2009-09-16 Thread Chris Li

Hi all,

I have got a dataset like the following:

a  b  c
1  5
2
3  7

I am taking the minimum of each column and use it as the minimum of the
y-axis of my graphs. My scripts (simplified version) are like the following:

f-array
f[1]=a
f[2]=b
f[3]=c
for i in 1:3
name=f[i]
ymin-min(dataset$f[i])
plot(x,y,ylim=c(ymin,100))

The script stops at b, because the min function returns inf value. What can
I do to overcome it?

Many thanks,
Chris

[R] Exporting Numerous Graphs

2009-09-14 Thread Chris Li

Hi all,

I have got 27 graphs to export (not a lot...I know!). How can I fit all of
them into a single file like PNG without adjusting the size of the graphs?
What's in my mind is like pasting graphs into Word, in which I can just
scroll down to view the graphs.

Thanks for your attention. Much appreciated.

Re: [R] X-axis range

2009-09-14 Thread Chris Li

Thanks Peter.

I have tried your approach, and it does not work. I guess it is because the
format of the x-axis (and its associated data) has the format of date while
numbers like 1998, 2003 etc. are treated as numeric (i.e. not the date
format).

Thank you for your time anyway. :)

Cheers,
Chris

[R] Question about Factors

2009-09-13 Thread Chris Li

Hi all,

I am new to R and I have got a question in regards to factors.

Say I have a simple dataset like the following:

Name   Time Value
a 1:00 1.25
a 2:00 1.26
b 1:00 1.29
b 2:00 1.28
c 1:00 1.21
c 1:30 1.20
c 2:00 1.23

I want to write a script that automatically plot value against time for a, b
and c. Because I have got more than 1 datasets, therefore the name of the
next dataset may consist d, e, h and g. So I will need a script that can
detect the changes in Name automatically.

Thank you very much for your time.

Chris
