What code. Also, the forum has a "no homework" policy. Your subject implies this is homework, so you might not get any answers. You might get a hint or two though. On Aug 10, 2014 10:00 PM, "michelle maurin" wrote: > I think my code is very close I can seem to be able to debug it Might be > some

Well, it says that it's from Hadley Wickham. https://github.com/hadley/adv-r This is code and text behind the Advanced R programming book. The site is built using jekyll, with a custom plugin to render .rmd files with knitr and pandoc. To create the site, you need: jekyll and s3_websiter gems:

Err... sorry... you have to use do.call with base rbind as David illustrates. I am spoiled by rbind.fill from the plyr package. rbind.fill accepts the list directly and also fills in any missing columns with NA, which avoids having to dig through all the files to find any oddballs. -

Re: [R] Is there a package for EFA with multiple groups?

2014-08-10 Thread William Revelle
Dear Josh and Elizabeth, Josh suggested one way of doing it with the psych package. As of today, the psych package (version psych_1.4.8) , I have included a new function (faBy) that will work with the statsBy function to do EFA for each of multiple groups. Basically, it just calls the statsBy

Re: [R] simulation data with dichotomous varuables

2014-08-10 Thread William Revelle
Dear Thanoon, You might look at the various item simulation functions in the psych package. In particular, for your problem: R1 <- sim.irt(10,1000,a=3,low = -2, high=2) R2 <- sim.irt(10,1000,a=3,low = -2, high=2) R12 <- data.frame(R1$items,R2$items) #this gives you 20 items, grouped with high c

Just load the data frames into a list and give that list to rbind. It is way more efficient to be able to identify how big the final data frame is going to have to be at the beginning and preallocate the result memory than to incrementally allocate larger and larger data frames along the way usi

I don't make a chart with 1000 colors. I allocate 1000 colors for 1000 iterms and then, the selected items based on a criterion will get a color out of 1000. Thanks On Friday, August 8, 2014 4:38 PM, David L Carlson wrote: I would suggest not using pie charts and not trying to make 1000 c
