Re: [R] How to load data file without attribute names?

2010-11-28 Thread 44whyfrog

Thank you very much.

What I actually do was


data1 - read.delim(path,head=FALSE,sep=,)
motor_UPDRS -data1[5]
qqnorm(motor_UPDRS)

I eventually noticed that I missed a , in the second command. And I cannot
retrieve a vector correctly.

[R] How to load data file without attribute names?

2010-11-27 Thread 44whyfrog

Hi all,

I'm new to R and I'm struggling with loading a data file without attribute
names, like:

1,72,0,5.6431,28.199
1,72,0,12.666,28.447
1,72,0,19.681,28.695
1,72,0,25.647,28.905

It has no names for the columns nor the rows. I tried

data - read.table(path,header = FALSE, sep = ,)

and it seems to work. But later, when I try qqnorm to plot the graph, it
gives me the error msg:

xy.coords(x, y, xlabel, ylabel, log) : 
  'x' and 'y' lengths differ

I think the reason might be that I load the file wrongly. What should I do
in this case?

You need to follow the posting guide and show exactly what you did.  I
read in your data and can  print it.  You did not show what 'x', and
'y' were in your data:

 myData - read.table('clipboard', sep=',')

 myData
  V1 V2 V3  V4 V5
1  1 72  0  5.6431 28.199
2  1 72  0 12.6660 28.447
3  1 72  0 19.6810 28.695
4  1 72  0 25.6470 28.905
 plot(myData$V4, myData$V5)


You need to at least do

str(x)
str(y)

to show what you are working with.

Hi 44whyfrog,
I guess (and it's a wild one) that you have simply typed in the usage 
arguments, and these have little or no relation to what is in data. If 
I were in your pond, I would first try:


names(data)

to see what the names of your columns are. If you do find columns named 
x and y, try:


length(data$x)
length(data$y)

The error message may relate to the fact that you already have an x or 
a y object hanging around in your workspace, and they have different 
lengths.


Jim
