Re: [R] Problems Structuring My Data

I'll make an attempt to answer your question, but the results seems extremely wasteful, as there appears to be only one REMNAME for each FAILDATE. This means for my "solution", almost all of the entries are empty (NULL, actually). So I assume I must misunderstand your specification, but maybe showi

R is open source software, available from CRAN servers, but also packaged for various Linux distributions. On this machine, running Ubuntu, R was installed using the 'apt' package manager. R is a complete programming language with built-in support for reading and writing over the network. Packag

I won't attempt to answer your post here, but: #I don´t know why R is showing the dates as numbers Please read the Help files! You say FAILDATE has "type" = S3 class, "Date". The first thing ?Dates tells you in the "Details" is: "Dates are represented as the number of days since 1970-01-01, with

Dear friends, Hope you are all doing great. I am working with a dataset which is a subset of the original one, that has the following columns: FAILDATE, REM_NAME, and Days_At_Failure. I want to structure the data in such a way that I have the unique FAILDATE in "%Y-%m-%d" format, then a column fo

Charity There is OFTEN confusion what we mean when we say "R". R is effectively a single bit of software with a ton of other bits of software as optional extras. You might think of some of those optional extras like apps on a phone. You'd say you have a phone when you can open the box and power

Charity, As some of the answers I have seen show, your question is not clear. You need to be clear on what you mean about R software and other concepts before an answer makes sense. The Base version of R may come on your computer already but likely has been installed from some external source, o

I would answer "local files only," but with sufficient motive it is possible for some people to abuse a system. Base R does not download any of your data. The packages that I know about do not download data. You can add a layer of protection by only downloading directly from the source rather th

I am pretty sure you'll get more replies than mine, so just consider this as part of the story. Your understanding is confused/flawed. 1. R can be downloaded from hundreds/thousands of software repositories, not just CRAN. 2. R can read/upload data in hundreds of different formats, not just Exce

It's conceivable that functions in a contributed package would communicate/transmit or receive data from a remote server, but base R does nothing like that (unless you explicitly ask it to). cheers Ben Bolker On 2023-10-02 3:48 a.m., Ferguson Charity (CEMINFERGUSON) wrote: To whom it
