Re: [R] random numbers with constraints

2021-01-28 Thread Denis Francisci
Thanks again for your help,
One digit after the decimal point is enough for my purposes; so, I can
round the qexp function, even if possible errors in floating points are not
a problem.
Thank you very very much,

Denis

[R] random numbers with constraints

2021-01-27 Thread Denis Francisci
Hi,
I would like to generate random numbers in R with some constraints:
- my vector of numbers must contain 410 values;
- min value must be 9.6 and max value must be 11.6;
- sum of vector's values must be 4200.
Is there a way to do this in R?
And is it possible to generate this series in such a way that it follows a
specific distribution form (for example exponential)?
Thank you in advance,

D.

Re: [R] problem with PCA

2017-03-11 Thread Denis Francisci
Thank you David for your answer.
If I understood the relative positions of variable arrows don't reflect the
coefficient of correlation of the original variables. In fact these
positions change if I use different PC axes.
But in some manual about PCA in R I read: "Pairs of variables that form
acute angles at the origin, close to 0°, should be highly and positively
correlated; variables close to right angles tend to have low correlation;
variables at obtuse angles, close to 180°, tend to have high negative
correlation".

And If I do a fictional test, it seems true:

tb<-data.frame(
  c(1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9), #orig data
  c(2,4,5,8,10,12,14,16,18),#strong positive correlation
  c(25,29,52,63,110,111,148,161,300),#weakly correlation
  c(-1,-2,-3,-4,-5,-6,-7,-8,-9),#strong negative correlation
  c(3,8,4,6,1,3,2,5,7)#not correlation
)
names(tb)<-c("orig","corr+","corr+2","corr-","random")

pca<-prcomp(as.matrix(tb),scale=T)
biplot(pca,choices = c(1,2))

On the first 2 PC the positions of arrows reflect perfectly the original
correlations.

My data behaviour differently, maybe because my original variables are not
strong correlated?

I perform a PCA in R

>pca<-prcomp(mx_fus,scale=TRUE)
>biplot(pca, choices = c(1,2), cex=0.7)

The biplot put the arrows of diam and height very near on the first
component axis.
So I understand that these 2 variables are well represented in the PC1 and
they are correlated each other.
But if I test the correlation, the value o correlation coefficient is low

>cor(mx_fus[,1],mx_fus[,2])
0.4828185

Why the plot says a thing and correlation function says the opposite?
Two near arrows don't represent a strong correlation between the 2
variables (as I read in some manuals), but only with the component axis?

Than's in advance

For 3D scatterplot you can use also "scatterplot3d" package.

[R] problem with matrix

2016-05-16 Thread Denis Francisci
Hi all,
I've a simple question.
I have a matrix with same values over and under the diagonal. That's an
example:
  [,1] [,2] [,3]
[1,]  NaN   45 63.43495
[2,] 45.0  NaN 90.0
[3,] 63.43495   90  NaN
How can I extract just the three values over (or under) the diagonal and
convert them in a  vector like this: 45, 63.43495, 90 ?

Thank's in advance

[R] alignments in random points

2015-11-10 Thread Denis Francisci
Dear forum,
I have a number of random point in a polygon. I would like to find those
points lying on the same lines.
Is there an R function to find alignments in points (something like this:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alignments_of_random_points)?
And is it possible to do the same thing but changing the width of lines?

If it could be useful, I attached an example of R code that I'm using.

Thank's in advance,

DF


CODE:

library(sp)
poly<-matrix(c(16,17,25,22,16,58,55,55,61,58),ncol=2,nrow=5)

> poly
 [,1] [,2]
[1,]   16   58
[2,]   17   55
[3,]   25   55
[4,]   22   61
[5,]   16   58

p=Polygon(poly)
ps=Polygons(list(p),1)
sps=SpatialPolygons(list(ps))

p.rd=spsample(sps,n=150,"random")
plot(sps)
points(p.rd,pch=16, col='blue',cex=0.3)

Re: [R] Addressing Columns in a Data Frame

2013-02-09 Thread Denis Francisci
I don't know if I understood your problem, but maybe you can retrieve
your columns simply in this way:
> DF$y
 [1] 10  9  8  7  6  5  4  3  2  1

or (for looking at column)
> DF[2]
y
1  10
2   9
3   8
4   7
5   6
6   5
7   4
8   3
9   2
10  1

Bye
D.

Re: [R] R plot like candlestick

2013-01-29 Thread Denis Francisci
Wonderful! Thank you Eik!
I thought there was a specific package or plot to get my purpose, but
your idea solves perfectly my problem.
Maybe I could try to write a simple R function using your suggest,
just to make fast my work. If I can get a result, I'll announce it in
this list.
Thank you very much.

Denis

[R] R plot like candlestick

2013-01-28 Thread Denis Francisci
Hi all,
I'm new on this list so I greet all.
My question is: does exist in R a plot similar to candlestick plot but
not based on xts (time series)? I have to plot a range of 4 value: for
every item I have min value, max value and 2 intermediate values. I
would like plot this like a candlestick, i.e. with a box between 2
intermediate values and 1 segment between box and min value and a
segment between box and max value. Candlestick plot is provided by
quantmod package, but it is very specific for financial purpose and it
uses time series for x axis. I need a simpler method for plotting my
data that are stored in a table like this:

item, min, int_1, int_2, max
a, 2.5, 3, 4, 5.5
b, 2, 3.5, 4, 4.5
c, 3.5, 4, 4.5, 5
.

Does anyone know if there is an R-plot for this purpose?
Thank you very much,

D.
