[R] R and REST API's
Hi - Many organizations now make their data available as XML via a REST web service architecture. Is there any R package or facility to access this type of data directly (eg, to make the HTTP GET request and have the downloaded data put into an R data frame)? I used several R search sites to look for an answer, but came up with very little. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks very much.

Re: [R] xyplot: superpose 2 time series with different time intervals
Thank you Deepayan. Your suggestion worked perfectly.
Thanks too to Gabor for your suggestion and for your help trying to
get this help request through to r-help before I subscribed.
I'm all set now.

[R] xyplot: superpose 2 time series with different time intervals
I could use some advice regarding xyplot. I've got 2 time series. Both cover approximately the same period of time (ie, 1940 to 2009). But one series has annual data and the other has monthly data. One refers to university enrollment; the other to unemployment rates. Both are currently in the same data frame. I'd like to use the monthly times series as a light grayscale background for a plot of the annual time series, showing both series as type "l" (line). Naturally with all the NA's in the annual series, that plot disappears because points are not connected across missing values. I suppose I could make both series annual, but a lot of interesting detail would get lost this way. Or I guess I could interpolate values in the annual series with monthly approximations, but this means 11 out of every 12 values is an approximation. Or I suppose I could plot each series separately and then print them with position information, which I'm reluctant to do because panel.superpose so nicely handles the alignment of the 2 panels. What I'd really like to do is plot each independently but still superposed. Effectively this seems to mean monthly data intervals but line connections across the NA's in the series with annual intervals. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks.

[R] possible bug in flexclust
Hi - Writing to see if someone can suggest whether a problem warrants a bug
report. It concerns the use of stepFlexclust in the flexclust package. The
problem concerns the size of clusters returned.
Versions: R-2.7.0 on Windows XP; RODBC_1.2-3
code snippet:
r8 <- stepFlexclust(df,8,nrep=100,FUN=kcca, family=kccaFamily("kmedians"))
summary(r8) ## returns cluster sizes of 51, 115, 218, 73, 118, 140, 311,
and 118
trev <- data.frame([EMAIL PROTECTED])
sqlSave(ch, trev, rownames="unitid")
in MySQL:
select r8cluster, count(*) from trev group by 1 order by 1 ## returns
cluster sizes of 51, 116, 217, 73, 117, 140, 312, 118
problem:
4 of the 8 clusters differ in sizes. They're close but I'd think they should
be exact.
So ... bug or not a bug? It'd be nice if I was just doing something wrong.
Thanks.
Gary
