Re: [R] Help with code

2011-12-26 Thread Petr PIKAL
Hi

Can you explain rules for propagating values? I do not see any pattern. 
Only when there is no Y in a line you want to fill all columns with either 
T1D_noc or Ctrl_noc based on t1d_ptype.

I would start with narrowing the levels in last column as it seems to me 
there is no difference between Ctrl and Ctrl_FDR in desired result

levels(c1$t1d_ptype)[1:2] <- "Ctrl"
If you want to retain old values just make a new column with t1d_ptype and 
change levels only in this new column.

select all rows without Y
selection<-which(rowSums(c1[,1:6]=="")==6)

change columns 1:6 to character instead of factors
c1[,1:6]<-sapply(c2[,1:6], as.character)

put values from last column to other columns and add "noc"
c1[selection,1:6]<-paste(c1[selection,7], "noc", sep="_")

and after that I am lost.

Re: [R] Help with code

Hello,

There are so many people posting answers that I'm curious and decided to try
one.

I don't know if this is it but it doesn't give an error and it reformats
your data
according to the rules in your original code.

#
nr <- dim(c1)[1]
nc <- dim(c1)[2]
c2 <- NULL
c2_row <- rep("", nc-1)
for(i in 1:nr){
ptype<- as.character(c1$t1d_ptype[i])
stype<- substr(ptype,1,4)
num_comp <- sum(c1[i,] == "Y")
for(j in 1:(nc-1)){
c2_row[j] <- ""
if(num_comp > 0){
c1_tmp <- as.integer(c1[i ,j])
if(ptype == "T1D"){
if(c1_tmp == 1) c2_row[j] <- "T1D_oc"
if(c1_tmp == 2) c2_row[j] <- "T1D_w"
}
if(stype == "Ctrl"){
if(c1_tmp == 1) c2_row[j] <- "Ctrl_oc"
if(c1_tmp == 2) c2_row[j] <- "Ctrl_w"
}
}
else{
if(ptype == "T1D")  c2_row[j] <- "T1D_noc"
if(stype == "Ctrl") c2_row[j] <- "Ctrl_noc"
}
}
c2 <- rbind(c2, c(c2_row, ptype))
}
c2 <- data.frame(c2)
colnames(c2) <- colnames(c1)
c2

I bet there's a way to work on entire objects. This is C-like.

dput(any.object)

puts a structure of this object to console. You can copy it to your email 
and anybody can copy it back to R.
Or you can transfer the structure to file see
?dput, ?dget

this line is never true. There is no 2 in a c1.

Maybe you shall really tell us what is your intention with some simple 
example.

Here is a subset of your file c1

my.c1 <- structure(list(HTN = structure(c(2L, 1L, 1L), .Label = c("", 
"Y"), class = "factor"), HTN_FDR = structure(c(2L, 2L, 2L), .Label = c("", 

"Y"), class = "factor"), Dyslipidemia = structure(c(2L, 1L, 2L
), .Label = c("", "Y"), class = "factor"), CAD = c(NA, NA, NA
), CAD_FDR = structure(c(2L, 2L, 1L), .Label = c("", "Y"), class = 
"factor"), 
Prior_MI = c(NA, NA, NA)), .Names = c("HTN", "HTN_FDR", 
"Dyslipidemia", 
"CAD", "CAD_FDR", "Prior_MI"), row.names = c("1", "5", "9"), class = 
"data.frame")

Forget your complicated code and tell us what is you desired output?

Re: [R] Help with code

2011-12-21 Thread William Dunlap
To make it so others can produce
your dataset on their own computers (so
they can easily reproduce the problem you are
having) do, in R,
  dump("c1", file=stdout())
and copy the text output by that that into your message.
E.g., suppose I made a data.frame with
  junk <- data.frame(x=runif(4),y=runif(4))
and forgot to save the random seed before making it.
Instead of sending the calls to runif I could use dump():

> dump("junk", file=stdout())
junk <-
structure(list(x = c(0.415693838847801, 0.399903971236199, 0.999439711682498, 
0.331607921980321), y = c(0.827737988438457, 0.193867813330144, 
0.0372913987375796, 0.62276106630452)), .Names = c("x", "y"), row.names = c(NA, 
-4L), class = "data.frame")

and would copy all of its output into the mail message
(there is no need to copy the dump() command itself).
It isn't pretty but it gets the job done without any fuss.

Some mailers like to break lines that they consider
too long and that can change the meaning of the code
produced by dump().  If your mailer does that, use
  dump("c1", file="c1.txt") # or "c:/temp/c1.txt", etc.
and attach the file c1.txt to your mail message.

We will see if my mailer breaks up the lines in my
example.

if(substr(data$t1d_ptype[i],1,4) == "Ctrl") c2[i,j]<-"Ctrl_noc"
   }
}

this gives me whether the particular t1d_ptype has a specific complication
as well as there is another complication as well.

I will appreciate help very much.

To do what?
The only error i get is
Error: object 'c1' not found
 
You probably named your data frame c1 but I do not see any numbers in c1
With your programming style you shall probably use C+ or similar. In R it 
is almost always better to operate on whole objects.

Without knowing what you want to achive and without any data I can only 
suggest to look at

?factor
?interaction

Re
> your column (i think its called t1d_ptype[1:25]) is a factor and using
> factors is dangerous at best.

This depends on how you want to define "dangerous".  If t1d_ptype ought
take values from a certain set of strings then making it a factor gives
you some safety, since it warns you when you go outside of that set and
try to give it an illegal value.  E.g.,
> sex <- factor(c("M","F","F"), levels=c("F", "M"))
> sex[2] <- "no"
Warning message:
In `[<-.factor`(`*tmp*`, 2, value = "no") :
  invalid factor level, NAs generated

It does take more work to set up, since you need to enumerate the set
of good strings.  That is tedium, not danger.

If t1d_ptype might take any value, then make it a character vector.

Re: [R] Help with code

2011-12-20 Thread Justin Haynes
the short answer... which is a guess cause you didn't provide a
reproducible example... is:

your column (i think its called t1d_ptype[1:25]) is a factor and using
factors is dangerous at best.

you can check with ?str.

see ?factor for how to convert back to strings and see if your code works.



to answer your second question, yes I'm sure there is a better simple way
to do this, but i can't follow what you're doing... for example, I don't
know what c1 is...

but, the place I would look is at the plyr package.  its excellent at
splitting and reordering data.


and one final note, you should avoid naming things with pre-existing R
functions (e.g. data).

Re: [R] help with Code

2011-07-10 Thread Joshua Wiley
Hi,

1) Still not reproducible because we do not have "E.csv"
2) The help list is not for homework questions.  Many (most?)
professors and/or their TAs offer office hours where they are willing
to provide help and guidance (unless, of course, the assignment is
meant to encourage you to learn on your own rather than relying on
canned solutions)
3) try something like this to track down where the error is:

## This will enable debugging so you can watch the code as each line is executed
debug(chart.Regression)
## Now when you run this, a browser will come up for you to examine
the code as it is run
 chart.Regression(MCD,SPX, Rf = .03/12, excess.returns = TRUE, main =
"Security Characteristic Line", fit = c("loess", "linear"), legend.loc =
"topleft")

Also, right after the error occurs, you can run: traceback() to print
the call stack leading to the error.  This can be useful information
and may be enough for you to pin the problem down, but if the real
problem occurred a while back, but no errors occurred until later,
traceback() may not be sufficient and you'll need to debug.

I would read all the documentation pages for ?debug ?browser
?traceback if you have never used them before prior to starting this
endeavour.  Those tools will definitely get you to the exact point the
error occurs.

Good luck and do treat education as an opportunity to develop useful
skills, not just a way to get some letter grades on a piece of paper.

Cheers,

Josh

##Securities Characteristic Line
chart.Regression(MCD,SPX, Rf = .03/12, excess.returns = TRUE, main =
"Security Characteristic Line", fit = c("loess", "linear"), legend.loc =
"topleft")

Everything works until i get to the securities Characteristic Line. I get
the following:

> chart.Regression(MCD,SPX, Rf = .03/12, excess.returns = TRUE, main =
> "Security Characteristic Line", fit = c("loess", "linear"), legend.loc =
> "topleft")
Error in as.vector(data[, i]) : subscript out of bounds

I don't know much about R but I'm hoping somebody can find the error in the
code or provide the package I need. Thanks

Hi,

Please provide a *reproducible* example (as the posting guide
requests).  It is also courteous to report your version of R and the
package which contains the chart.Regression() function.  We can look
it up, but it saves time if you just say it.

I admit I didn't read all the sample code you added, but this is what
I *think* you're trying to accomplish.

mydataframe[mydataframe$FTIStandKey == "NAH6253-003", "CoverType"] <-
"XSOP--C"

etc.

There are other ways to do the same thing, of course. I find this one
easy to remember. You might want to read some documentation on
subsetting.

Please don't repost your question right away. Most of us are busy and will
answer as soon as we can.
