[R] object size of a matrix and a list

2009-03-18 Thread Kyeongmi Cheon
Hello, My program calculates several variables at each iteration and some of them are integers and the rest are numeric. When I save them into a matrix, all of them are of numeric type, of course. I'm trying to find a way to save time/memory of my program and I was thinking that it might help

[R] nlminb--lower bound for parameters are dependent on each others

2008-07-24 Thread Kyeongmi Cheon
Hello I'm trying to solve two sets of equations (each set has four equations and all of them share common parameters) with nlminb procedure. I minimize one set and use their parameters as initial values of other set, repeating this until their parameters become very close to each other. I have

[R] system.time gives error when = is used for assignment (R-2.6.0)

[R] Question on assign(paste..

2008-03-04 Thread Kyeongmi Cheon
Hello, I'm having trouble in using assign(paste ... command . I could create several dataframes following trinomial distribution using it but it could not be used to check their row means of the created dataframe. For example, the following works: probTrt=matrix(0,4,3); probTrt; #malf, death,
