[R] Calculating Minimum Absolute Difference of Two Numeric Vectors

2020-08-18 Thread Dario Strbenac
Good day,

What is a fast and efficient way to calculate the minimum absolute difference 
between two vectors of numbers? The two vectors have unequal length. I would 
also like to know the index of the first vector and the second vector which 
results in the minimum absolute difference. For example:

x <- rpois(500, 100)
y <- rpois(300, 30)

Is there a much faster way than a nested for loop without resorting to Rcpp?

[R] Stats reshape non-Longitudinal Example Correctness

2018-01-24 Thread Dario Strbenac
Good day,

In the Examples section of the reshape function documentation is an example 
that reshapes that data frame state.x77. However, the resulting long data frame 
doesn't seem correct. It has three columns; Characteristic, Population and 
state. The second column probably shouldn't be named Population because it 
stores all of the values for all of the variables and only one of the variables 
in the dataset is Population. I wouldn't expect to see values for Frost in the 
Population column, for example. Is it a bug? I think that a column name such as 
Value would be appropriate.

[R] Find Crossover Points of Two Spline Functions

Good day,

I have two probability densities, each with a function determined by 
splinefun(densityResult[['x']], densityResult[['y']], "natural"), where 
densityResult is the output of the density function in stats. How can I 
determine all of the x values at which the densities cross ?

Yes, exactly. I found that aggregate is another alternative which doesn't 
require a package dependency, although the column formatting is less suitable, 
always prepending x.

aggregate(warpbreaks[, 1], warpbreaks[, 2:3], function(breaks) c(Min = 
min(breaks), Med = median(breaks), Max = max(breaks)))
  wool tension x.Min x.Med x.Max

[R] by Function Result Factor Levels

2015-09-15 Thread Dario Strbenac
Good day,

How is it possible to get a data.frame of factor levels used for obtaining each 
element of the result of the by function ? For example,

result <- by(warpbreaks[, 1],   warpbreaks[, -1], summary)
> result
wool: A
tension: L
   Min. 1st Qu.  MedianMean 3rd Qu.Max. 
  25.00   26.00   51.00   44.56   54.00   70.00 
 ...

I'd like to obtain a data.frame of the two columns, wool and tension, 
specifying the level of each factor that corresponds to each element of result.

[R] Vennerable Plots for Publications

2015-03-26 Thread Dario Strbenac
Does anyone make Venn diagrams for publication using Vennerable ? I found that 
the font size is too big when the plot is created at 300 DPI, and there's no 
option to change it, even when the point size argument to the device is changed.

aVenn - Venn(Sets = list(A = 1:5, B = 3:6))
png(forPublication.png, units = in, h = 2.55, w = 2.4, res = 300) # 
Changing pointsize to a smaller number has no effect on size of the text.
plot(aVenn)

Ideally, there would be black lines on all four sides. The documentation

[R] Rmixmod Memory Leak

2014-08-01 Thread Dario Strbenac
Hello,

I would like to provide a helpful bug report to the maintainer of Rmixmod, but 
I'm not skilled in memory profiling.

The following example illustrates the problem :

library(Rmixmod)
genes - matrix(rnorm(5000*50, 9, 2), nrow = 5000, ncol = 50)
selected - sample(5000, 25)
columns - split(1:50, rep(1:10, each = 5))
lapply(1:100, function(index) # 100 resamples with replacement
{
  lapply(1:5, function(fold) # 5-fold cross validation
  {
apply(genes[selected, columns[[fold]]], 1, function(aGene) 
mixmodCluster(aGene, nbCluster = 1:3))
return(NULL)
  })
})

Even though no data was assigned to any variables, even if I do gc() after the 
loop, 5 GB of RAM is used. This makes the software unusable in a loop, because 
the server freezes when it runs out of RAM.

May someone who is an expert help me ?

[R] Grouping on a Distance Matrix

2014-02-13 Thread Dario Strbenac
Hello,

I'm looking for a function that groups elements below a certain distance 
threshold, based on a distance matrix. In other words, I'd like to group 
samples without using a standard clustering algorithm on the distance matrix. 
For example, let the distance matrix be :

  A B C D
A 0  0.03  0.77  1.12  
B  0.03 0  1.59  1.11
C  0.77  1.59 0  0.09  
D  1.12  1.11  0.09 0

Two clusters would be found with a cutoff of 0.1. The first contains A,B. The 
second has C,D. Is there an efficient function that does this ? I can think of 
how to do this recursively, but am hoping it's already been considered.

[R] Setting hetmap.2 Color Key Range Outside of Data Limits

2014-01-16 Thread Dario Strbenac
Hello,

There are many questions about making the limit of the colour key smaller than 
the data range, but I have the opposite problem.

Assume one heatmap has data in the range 6 to 12 and another has data in the 
range 6 to 9. By providing the same breaks argument to both plots, the heatmaps 
are coloured as it should be, but for the second heatmap, the range of the 
colour key is just from 6 to 9. I'd like to force the second colour key to go 
up to 12 also. How can this be achieved ? My use case is that I have identified 
a number of clusters in a gene expression dataset, and I would like to avoid 
plotting them in one large heatmap, but as multiple smaller heatmaps.

Also, unless key = FALSE, having a heatmap with values in only one colour bin 
causes
Error in axis(1, at = xv, labels = lv) : no locations are finite.

Perhaps this could also be handled more gracefully. I am using R 3.02.

I can easily declare an array on the command line.

X

I am unable to do the same from within R.

Reading the documentation for the system function, it appears to only be 
relevant for executing commands. What can I do instead to declare a BASH array

pushViewport(viewport(layout.pos.row = i2, layout.pos.col = i))
grid.rect()
popViewport()

[R] Sweave Executes Package Functions Twice

2011-04-15 Thread Dario Strbenac
Hi,

I've got something strange going on. I'm trying to compile a vignette using 
Sweave(vignette.Rnw), and in the first code chunk that illustrates an 
example, I noticed from the output text I have inside the function, that it is 
running it twice, because the sequence of message() statements is output on 
screen twice, and takes twice as long to do.

e.g. 
Processing sample 1
Processing sample 2
Processing sample 3
Processing sample 1
Processing sample 2
Processing sample 3

If I open up a new R session, and copy and paste the lines of code from the 
.Rnw one by one, the function isn't called twice - only one complete set of 
progress outputs show.

I tried using debug() to get more of an idea of what was happening. The 
function is called enrichmentPlot, so I did debug(enrichmentPlot), then 
Sweave(vignette.Rnw). Execution pauses when it gets to the right code chunk, 
then I type in n at the Browse[2] prompt, but I don't get any output from 
debug, like debugging in:, but it runs for a while and I get all of the 
messages from within my function, then execution pauses again. But just before 
it pauses I get the debug output :

debugging in: enrichmentPlot(samples.list, 300)
debug: standardGeneric(enrichmentPlot)
Browse[2]

Then I enter n, and it runs the same code all over again.

...   ... # Same progress outputs from inside my function.
exiting from: enrichmentPlot(samples.list, 300)

I have the current 2.13.0 version of R. I'm sure I've done something wrong, I 
just can't figure out what. Thanks for any help.

Re: [R] agnes clustering and NAs

2011-01-29 Thread Dario Strbenac
Hello,

Thankyou for the clarification about the NAs. For your interest, thankfully my 
end goal was not to plot a dendrogram with 23371 elements, but just to use the 
output of the clustering to re-order the rows of a matrix before plotting it 
with image(). Since clara() and pam() are partitioning based approaches, I 
suppose I could instead stay with hclust() after removing the offending rows, 
so that I have the ordering position of each gene, not its cluster membership. 
I have 12 GB RAM on my 64-bit system, so the time it takes to run should be my 
only problem.

- Dario.

Ok, so in the end you want to draw a dendrogram for  23'371
observational units, really ?

I think I would not use a hierarchical clustering method for so
many units, but rather  clara() or maybe pam() or then model
based or other methods, rather than fully hierarchical ones
...
but yes, that's not the issue here, and see further down ...

BTW:  The object 'iMatrix' you provided for download has only 50
  columns, not 56...
 
 For the snippet of checking for NAs, I get all TRUEs, so I have at 
 least one NA in each column.

GS Sorry, my bad. Try this:

GS apply(iMatrix, 1, function(x) all(is.na(x)))

GS will check that you have no fully `NA` rows.

GS Also look at str(iMatrix) for potential problems.

GS Finally, try:

GS out - dist(iMatrix) any(is.na(out))

GS should repeat what agnes is doing to compute the
GS dissimilarity matrix.  If that returns TRUE, go and find
GS which samples are giving NA dissimilarity and why.

GS The issue is not NA in the input data, but that your
GS input data is leading to NA in the computed
GS dissimilarities. This might be due to NA's in your input
GS data, where a pair of samples has no common set of data
GS for example.

Yes, that's right on spot, thank you Gavin.

This is indeed to true:  
It *does* allow for NA's (in the data matrix), but if the
pattern of NA's is such that the dissimilarity between two
observations becomes undefined, namely e.g. if they have no
common non-missings, then ``that's too much''.

In general, I'd recommend to use 
  dm - daisy(,...) 
trying methods, that are better with NAs, e.g. Gower's metric,
until dm() has {nearly} no NAs,
and then figure out some imputation to replace all NA's in   dm
by reasonable values,
then do clustering with the resulting dissimilarity matrix dm.

HOWEVER, in your case, dm would correspond to 
 23371 x 23371 dissimilarity matrix,
stored as a double precision matrix (on a 64-bit platform)
that's an object of size 4.4 GBytes, not very convenient to work
with.
as dissimilarity object it will only be about half of that size,
but that's still ``a bit large''..
As I said above, for such data, I would never do fully
hierarchical clustering,
but rather something else.

 The part of the agnes documentation I was referring to is :
 
 In case of a matrix or data frame, each row corresponds to an 
 observation, and each column corresponds to a variable. All variables must be 
 numeric.  Missing values (NAs) are allowed.
 
 So, I'm under the impression it handles NAs on its own ?

[R] Adding image to plotting area

2011-01-27 Thread Dario Strbenac
Hello,

I've drawn a black rectangle over the plotting area, and when I add an image() 
heatmap, it doesn't take up all the area, but is set inward from the black 
rectangle. Can anyone suggest how to make it stretch out to the entire area ?

Minimal example :

y - matrix(runif(2000*20), nrow = 2000)
y[100:200, 10] = NA
plot.new()
usr - par('usr')
rect(usr[1], usr[3], usr[2], usr[4], col=black)
image(t(y), add = TRUE)

Thanks,
   Dario.

 I haven't looked in the file, but you need to get rid of all NA, or in 
 other words, all rows that contain *any* NA values.

If one believes the documentation, then that only applies to the case
where `x` is a dissimilarity matrix. `NA`s are allowed if x is the raw
data matrix or data frame.

The only way the OP could have gotten that error with the call shown is
if iMatrix were not a dissimilarity matrix inheriting from class dist,
so `NA`s should be allowed.

My guess would be that the OP didn't get rid of all the `NA`s.

Dario: what does:

sapply(iMatrix, function(x) any(is.na(x)))

or if iMatrix is a matrix:

apply(iMatrix, 2, function(x) any(is.na(x)))

say?

Re: [R] sapply puzzlement

2011-01-27 Thread Dario Strbenac
R works by going down the columns. If you make the rows into columns, it then 
does what you want. You just have to make the columns back into rows to get the 
original shape of your matrix.

So the code in one line is :

t(t(z) - means)

Subject: [R] sapply puzzlement  
To: r-help@r-project.org

Hi,

I have this data.frame with two variables in it,

 z
  V1 V2
1 10  8
2 NA 18
3  9  7
4  3 NA
5 NA 10
6 11 12
7 13  9
8 12 11

and a vector of means,

 means - apply(z, 2, function (col) mean(na.omit(col)))
 means
   V1V2 
 9.67 10.714286 

My intention was substracting means from z, so instictively I tried

 z-means
  V1 V2
1  0.333 -1.667
2 NA  7.2857143
3 -0.667 -2.667
4 -7.7142857 NA
5 NA  0.333
6  0.2857143  1.2857143
7  3.333 -0.667
8  1.2857143  0.2857143

But this is completely wrong. sapply() gives the same result:

 sapply(z, function(row) row - means)
 V1 V2
[1,]  0.333 -1.667
[2,] NA  7.2857143
[3,] -0.667 -2.667
[4,] -7.7142857 NA
[5,] NA  0.333
[6,]  0.2857143  1.2857143
[7,]  3.333 -0.667
[8,]  1.2857143  0.2857143

So, what is going on here? 
The following appears to work

 z-matrix(means,ncol=2)[rep(1, dim(z)[1]),]
  V1 V2
1  0.333 -2.7142857
2 NA  7.2857143
3 -0.667 -3.7142857
4 -6.667 NA
5 NA -0.7142857
6  1.333  1.2857143
7  3.333 -1.7142857
8  2.333  0.2857143

but I think it's rather cumbersome, surely there must be a cleaner way
to do it.

Also, what is the difference between

and

...  ...  ...
\usage

\S4method{methodName}{class}(arg1)
}
...  ...  ...

I've seen both ways used for S4 methods and don't know what is the underlying 
difference.

I haven't been able to find any good tutorials for the new S4 architecture 
(written post 2006), so I'm not sure where to start with S4.

Thanks,
   Dario.

[R] identical() mystery

2010-03-01 Thread Dario Strbenac
Hello,

I have 2 vectors of the same mode and the same contents but I still get FALSE. 
Any ideas ?

 reference - c(11, 14, 16, 5, 4, 2,  0, 15, 9, 0)
 reference
 [1] 11 14 16  5  4  2  0 15  9  0
 cpgDensity
 [1] 11 14 16  5  4  2  0 15  9  0
 identical(cpgDensity, reference)
[1] FALSE
 mode(cpgDensity)
[1] numeric
 mode(reference)
[1] numeric
 cpgDensity == reference
 [1] TRUE TRUE TRUE TRUE TRUE TRUE TRUE TRUE TRUE TRUE

Thanyou,
 Dario.

[R] Flattening Graphics

2010-02-10 Thread Dario Strbenac
Hello,

This question is a nightmare to search for, as I get so many irrelevant 
results. What I'm interested in doing if I have many pages of plots and I want 
to keep them together in the same document, say a PDF, is there a way to 
flatten all the dot plots and graphics, so that they don't take a long time to 
load on a slow computer in Adobe Reader, without using external programs 
outside of R ?

Thanks,
   Dario.
