[R] nomianl response model

Is there a way to estimate a nominal response model?

To be more specific let's say I want to calibrate:
\pi_{v}(\theta_j)=\frac{e^{\xi_{v}+\lambda_{v}\theta_j}}{\sum_{h=1}^m
e^{\xi_{h}+\lambda_{h}\theta_j}}

Where $\theta_j$ is a the dependent variable and I need to estimate
$\xi_{h}$ and $\lambda_{h}$ for $h \in {1...,m}$.

Thank you,

My understanding is that it does, in fact. The details say

      Observations may be clustered by '"group"' ('"time"') to account
      for serial (cross-sectional) correlation.

Thus, the default appears to be to account for serial correlation anyway. 
But I'm not an expert in panel-versions of these robust covariances. Yves 
and Giovanni might be able to say more.

That information in the "sandwich" package is outdated - prompted by your 
email I've just fixed the manual page in the development version.

In principle, everything in "sandwich" is object-oriented now, see
   vignette("sandwich-OOP", package = "sandwich")

However, the methods within "sandwich" are only sensible for 
cross-sectional data (vcovHC, sandwich, ...) or time series data (vcovHAC, 
NeweyWest, kernHAC, ...). There is not yet explicit support for panel 
data.

Hi Lukasz,
First, switch to the kripp.alpha function in the irr package. concord is 
no longer maintained. The SPSS code would take some time to decipher and 
translate into R, so I'll see if I can locate the algorithm. Professor 
Krippendorff once wrote to me how he did it, so it must be available 
somewhere.

Hi Laura,

If you want ANOVA output, ask for it! A general strategy that almost
always works in R is to fit 2 models, one without the term(s) you want
to test, and one with. Then use the anova() function to test them.
(models must be nested, and in the lmer() case you need to use REML =
FALSE).

So, try something like this:

m1 <- lmer(PTR ~ Test  +  Group + (1 | student), data=ptr)
m2 <- lmer(PTR ~ Test * Group + (1 | student), data=ptr)
anova(m1, m2)

Best,
Ista

Hello,

I've attached the result I'v'e got by applying your code (thanks for this!),
but I seem to have horizontal kites instead of vertical kites. I need to
rotate the entire graph, so to speak..

I've tried using viewpoint (found it on some forum), but this only seems to
work with lattice plots...

Do you know a solution to this last problem?

Thanks,
Ellen

I've tried hard to find a way to exponentiate each element of a whole matrix
such that if I start with A

A = [ 2   3
      2   4]

I can get back B

B = [ 7.38   20.08
      7.38   54.60]

I've tried

B <- exp(A) but no luck.

Thanks

 Your matrix notation looks unlike R. We prefer cut n paste examples
here. In which case:

 > A=matrix(1:4,2,2)
 > A
     [,1] [,2]
[1,]    1    3
[2,]    2    4
 > exp(A)
         [,1]     [,2]
[1,] 2.718282 20.08554
[2,] 7.389056 54.59815
 > B=exp(A)
 > B
         [,1]     [,2]
[1,] 2.718282 20.08554
[2,] 7.389056 54.59815

so, works for me (as I expected it would).

 Either you've redefined the exp function or you've accidentally
started matlab instead.

What have you tried exactly?  And with which version?  This should work
with all R versions that I am familiar with, e.g.:

R> A <- matrix(c(2,2,3,4),2,2)
R> A
     [,1] [,2]
[1,]    2    3
[2,]    2    4
R> B <- exp(A)
R> B
         [,1]     [,2]
[1,] 7.389056 20.08554
[2,] 7.389056 54.59815

Message-ID:

Content-Type: text/plain


Dear R user fellows,

I would like to ask you about the package 'rgenoud' which is a genetic
optimization tool.
I ran the function 'genoud' with two variables to be minimized by the
following command.

result<-genoud(fn,nvars=2,starting.values=c(0.5,0),

 pop.size=1000, max.generations=10, wait.generations=3)


Then, I had the following error message.

 Error in solve.default(Djl) :

system is computationally singular: reciprocal condition number = 0


Can anyone give me some tip on how to fix the problem? Thank you for your
great help in advance.

Best Regards,
Wonsang You

Hi Ellen,
It looks like I will have to do a bit of rewriting of the kiteChart 
function. You can't just rearrange the data. I can probably get to it 
this weekend. Thanks for pointing out the problem.

Super !  An option for vertical plotting would be very nice.

Hi:

David was on the right track...

library(reshape)      # for the melt() function below
rnorm(100,5,3) -> A
rnorm(100,7,3) -> B
rnorm(100,4,1) -> C
df <- melt(data.frame(A, B, C))
names(df)[1] <- 'gp'

histogram(~ value | gp, data=df, layout=c(3,1), nint=50,
   panel=function(x, ..., groups){
       panel.histogram(x, ...)
       panel.abline(v=c(5.5, 6.5, 4.5)[groups = panel.number()],
                    col = 'red', lwd = 2)
})

It took several iterations, but persistence sometimes pays off :)

HTH,
Dennis

for (i in 0:(length(DateTime3)-1))	{
	DateTime3[i] <- (strptime(start, "%m/%d/%Y %H:%M")+ i*interval)

where start <- [1] "1/1/1981 00:00"

However the created array (DateTime3) contains [1,] 347156400 347157600
347158800 347160000 347161200 347162400 347163600   NA

Does anyone know how I can change DateTime 3 to the same format as start?

Thanks,

Doug

Ah, that's interesting. I'll have a look because it's bound to be
better than my effort.

Many thanks Dennis.

Do you have three groups of subjects, where each subject is tested on three
separate occasions? Are the tests meant to be replicates, or is there some
other purpose for why they should be represented in the model? Based on this
description, it would appear to me that the groups constitute one factor,
the students nested within groups another, with three measurements taken on
each student. How many students per group?

Let's get the design straight first and the model will work itself out...

Dennis,

Thanks for that.  The problem now is that I am trying to use it in a for
loop.  Based on the example before, 2 entries are required after H[3] as
specified by O.  The problem is that when inserting values the length of the
array changes so I don't know how to tell the loop that.  This is what I
have:

for (i in 1:length(H)) 	{
	if (o[i]>0) {append(H, -1, after = i-1)}
				}

Any ideas how to create a loop that allows the inclusion of more than 1
value?

Cheers,

Doug

Hi R-helpers , i am learning nnet package now.I have seen that the nnet can
be used for regression and classification.Can you give me more insights on
the other data mining and predictive techniques that the nnet package can be
used for? If possible, can you send me links for sample datasets with which
nnet can be tested to get better understanding of it?

I have to make correction in my error message which I introduced in my

Finally, I had the following error message after running the function '

Error in optim(foo.vals, fn = fn1, gr = gr1, method = optim.method, control

When I execute 'traceback()' to trace where the error occured, I got the

problem from the above information.

Message-ID:
	<AANLkTingyC8dYC3voVVAmU6jXouDNMKPR+8h9WamYSZR at mail.gmail.com>
Content-Type: text/plain

Dear R-users,
is anybody aware of some package or routine to implement nonparametric
Multivariate Analysis of Covariance (MANCOVA) using matrices instead of
single variable names? I found something for parametric MANCOVA which still
requires single variables to be used (ffmanova,vegan), but since both the
response matrix and the covariates matrix are quite large (306 and 152
variables, respectively) I have some difficulty in implementing this
model...

Something like Y ~ X*Z, where X is a design matrix, and Z is the covariate
matrix. Rows of both Y and Z are much less than respective columns...

Actually, the closest thing i found is the adonis function in the vegan
package (I've used it much but only for MANOVA purposes), but still things
do not seem to work that properly...namely no residual df is left for
estimating residuals SS...

thanks for any help!

Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"

Dear R-users,

I am working with R version 2.10.1 and package RODBC Version: 1.3-2 under
windows.

Say I have a table "testtable" (in an Access data base), which has many
different columns, among them a character column "X" with "integer-like"
data as "0012345".
Using sqlFetch, I'd like to assure that column X is read in as a character
variable. So what I'm looking for is something between these two approaches:

> sqlFetch(channel, "testtable") # -> column X is automatically converted to
character (so 0012345 becomes 12345)
> sqlFetch(channel, "testtable", as.is = TRUE) # -> all columns are
converted to character

I guess I'm looking for something like argument "colClasses" in function
"read.table", is there a something similar in RODBC?

Your advice is appreciated;
kind regards
Heinrich.

I have to make correction in my error message which I introduced in my
original message. Sorry for my mistake. 
Finally, I had the following error message after running the function
'genoud'.

Error in optim(foo.vals, fn = fn1, gr = gr1, method = optim.method, control

When I execute 'traceback()' to trace where the error occured, I got the
following results. Unfortunately, I could not figure out what was the
problem from the above information.

Message-ID: <1286970618828-2993522.post at n4.nabble.com>
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii


Hi there,

I'm working on a biological dataset that contains up to 40 species and 100
sites each. The response variable is index (trend), dependent is year - each
combination has an index for each year between 1994 and 2008 inclusive. So
my input file is along the following lines: species, site, year, index. I'd
like to run a GAM, and plot smoothing spline 5df, poisson, and output the
fitted values for each species/ site combination. I have written the code
for the GAM and for outputting the fitted values, which is very simple and
brief (<5 lines) but am unsure how to repeat the process for each
combination. Would be grateful if someone could advise on this code,
including producing fitted values for each.

Thanks,
Olivia

Message-ID: <1286962314278-2993411.post at n4.nabble.com>
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii


Dear all R users, I was trying to create a polymonial using the polynom() of
"PolynomF" package. My problem is, if I pass coefficients as simple
numerical values, it is working, but for matrix coefficient it is not. Here
is my try:

library(PolynomF)
z <- polynom()

## following is working
p1 <- 1- 4.5*z

## However following is not giving results as intended
p1 <- diag(3)- matrix(1:9, 3,3)*z

In the 2nd example, I was expecting a matrix polynomial in "z" upto degree
1, which I did not get. Can anyone please correct me how to address this
problem?

Thanks,

Do you have any idea why the first entry doesn't have the time as the start
specified is "1/1/1981 00:00"? 

Is it something to do with being at midnight?

Dear useRs:

I use pROC package to compute the bootstrap C.I. of AUC.

The command was as follows:

roc1<-roc(all$D,all$pre,ci=TRUE,boot.n=200)

However, the result was:

Area under the curve: 0.5903
95% CI: 0.479-0.7016 (DeLong)

Why the C.I. was computed by the Delong Method?

Agreed,  boxplot is doing the summarization, but it then hands the  
summaries on to bxp() to do the plotting. So if the OP wants to add  
back in a whisker or a dot or to use summaries from another source,  
then he should first look at the Value section of the boxplot help  
page for the correct list structure, and then send that list to bxp().  
The bxp help page also is where one would look to tweak various  
plotting parameters, since those are better explained there.

Hello,

I am aware this may be an obscure problem difficult to advice about, but
just in case... I am calling a C function from R on an iMac (almost shining:
bought by my institution this year) and gives a "memory not mapped" error.

Nevertheless, exactly the same code runs without problem in a powerful
computer using SuSE Linux, but also on my laptop of 2007, 32 bits, 2 GB RAM,
running Ubuntu. My supervisor says that he can run my code on his iMac (a
bit older than mine) without problem.

I have upgraded to the latest version of R, and I have tried compiling the C
code with the latest version of gcc (obtained from MacPorts), but the error
persists.

Any ideas?

Thank you very much in advance,

David
Can you please Cc to me any replies, just in case I may miss any of them
among the whole amount of emails :-) ?

Hello.
In principle Achim is right, by default vcovHC.plm does things the
"Arellano" way, clustering by group and therefore giving SEs which are
robust to general heteroskedasticity and serial correlation. The problem
with your data, though, is that this estimator is N-consistent, so it is
inappropriate for your setting. The other way round, on the converse
(cluster="time") would yield a T-consistent estimator, robust to
cross-sectional correlation: there's no escape, because the "big" dimension
is always used to get robustness along the "small" one.

Therefore the road to go to have robustness along the "big" dimension is
some sort of nonparametric truncation. So:

** 1st (possible) solution **

In my opinion, you would actually need a panel implementation of Newey-West,
which is not implemented in 'plm' yet. It might well be feasible by applying
vcovHAC{sandwich} to the time-demeaned data but I'm not sure; in this case,
vcovHAC should be applied this way (here: the famous Munnell data, see
example(plm))

but beware, things are probably complicated by the serial correlation
induced by demeaning: see the references in the serial correlation tests
section of the package vignette. Caveat emptor.

** 2nd solution **
Another possible strategy is screening for serial correlation first: again,
see ?pbgtest, ?pdwtest and be aware of all the caveats detailed in the
abovementioned section of the vignette regarding use on FE models.

** 3rd solution **
Another thing you could do (Hendry and friends would say "should" do!) to
get rid of serial correlation is a dynamic FE panel, as the Nickell bias is
of order 1/T and so might well be negligible in your case.

Anyway, thanks for motivating me: I thought we'd provided robust covariances
all over the place, but there was one direction left ;^)

My understanding is that it does, in fact. The details say

      Observations may be clustered by '"group"' ('"time"') to account
      for serial (cross-sectional) correlation.

Thus, the default appears to be to account for serial correlation anyway. 
But I'm not an expert in panel-versions of these robust covariances. Yves
and Giovanni might be able to say more.

That information in the "sandwich" package is outdated - prompted by your
email I've just fixed the manual page in the development version.

In principle, everything in "sandwich" is object-oriented now, see
   vignette("sandwich-OOP", package = "sandwich")

However, the methods within "sandwich" are only sensible for cross-sectional
data (vcovHC, sandwich, ...) or time series data (vcovHAC, NeweyWest,
kernHAC, ...). There is not yet explicit support for panel data.

If you know what the replacement values are in advance, you can create a
list object where each component is a vector of values to insert and then
access the i-th component of the list in the loop. If the replacement values
are not known in advance, then it's not so obvious to me what you should do.

The function f() below takes three inputs: the first is a matrix whose rows
contain the original vectors, the second is a list of values to be inserted
(not necessarily equal in length from one row to the next), and the third is
a matrix whose rows indicate where the insertions should take place in the
vector (- 1). which(x > 0) returns the index (or indices) where the value of
the vector x is positive. The output of the function is a list because the
output vectors are not necessarily the same length after insertion.

Here's a small example with two row matrices for the inputs and matrices, as
well as a two-component list for the inserts:

H <- c(0.88, 0.72, 0.89, 0.93, 1.23, 0.86)
T <- c(7.14, 7.14, 7.49, 8.14, 7.14, 7.32)
O <- c(0, 0, 0, 2, 0, 0)
R <- c(1.2, 1.4)
m <- rbind(H, T)
o <- rbind(O, c(0, 0, 1, 0, 0, 0))
l <- list(R1 = R, R2 = 1.6)
f <- function(mval, midx, mrep) {
    if(nrow(mval) != nrow(midx) || nrow(midx) != length(l))
          stop('unequal numbers of rows among inputs')
    n <- nrow(mval)
    out <- vector('list', n)
    for(i in seq_len(n))
       out[[i]] <- append(mval[i, ], as.numeric(l[[i]]), after =
which(midx[i, ] > 0) - 1)
    out
   }

f(m, o, l)
[[1]]
[1] 0.88 0.72 0.89 1.20 1.40 0.93 1.23 0.86

[[2]]

Dear R-community,

Using bwplot, how can I put the whiskers at percentile 5 and percentile 95,
in place of the default position coef=1.5??

Using panel=panel.bwstrip, whiskerpos=0.05, from the package agsemisc gives
satisfaction, but changes the appearance of my boxplot and works with an old
version of R, what I dont want, and I didnt find the option in
box.umbrella parameters
Many thanks
Christophe

Here is the code:

library(lattice)
ex <- data.frame(v1 = log(abs(rt(180, 3)) + 1),
                 v2 = rep(c("2007", "2006", "2005"), 60),
                 z  = rep(c("a", "b", "c", "d", "e", "f"), e = 30))

ex2 <- data.frame(v1b = log(abs(rt(18, 3)) + 1),
                 v2 = rep(c("2007", "2006", "2005"), 6),
                 z  = rep(c("a", "b", "c", "d", "e", "f"), e = 3))
ex3 <- merge(ex, ex2, by=c("v2","z"))
D2007 <- ex3[ex3$z=="d" & ex3$v2==2007, ]
D2006 <- ex3[ex3$z=="d" & ex3$v2==2006, ]
C2007 <- ex3[ex3$z=="c" & ex3$v2==2007, ]
quantile(D2007$v1, probs = c(0.05, 0.95))
quantile(D2006$v1, probs = c(0.05, 0.95))
quantile(C2007$v1, probs = c(0.05, 0.95))

bwplot(v2 ~ v1 | z, data = ex3, layout=c(3,2), X = ex3$v1b,
pch = "|",
par.settings = list(
plot.symbol = list(alpha = 1, col = "transparent",cex = 1,pch = 20)),
panel = function(x, y, ..., X, subscripts){

 panel.bwplot(x, y, ..., subscripts = subscripts)
 X <- X[subscripts]

 X <- tapply(X, y, unique)
 Y <- tapply(y, y, unique)

Please take a look at the documentation for lmList regarding
the na.action= argument.  It should be a *function*, not TRUE
or FALSE.  For example, try

lmList(score ~ childid | spring, data=a, na.action=na.omit)

Currently no - does Pipeline Pilot out put their ECFP's in a standard
format? if so can you send me an example file? (Asuming they output
fp's for a single molecule on a single row, you could implement your
own line parse and supply it via the lf argument in fp.read. See
cdk.lf, moe.lf or bci.lf for examples)

The other issue is how one evaluates similarity between variable
length feature fingerprints, such as ECFPs. One approach is to map the
features into a fixed length bit string. Another approach is to just
look at intersections and unions of features to evaluate the Tanimoto
score. It seems to me that the former leads to loss of resolution and
that the latter could lead to generally low Tanimoto scores.

Do you know what Pipeline Pilot does?

Nope, you won't find it even if you search harder, but you do have a  
lattice path forward. Just as base function boxplot() does the  
calculations and then plots with bxp(), by default panel.bwplot sends  
the data to boxplot.stats, but panel.bwplot also allows you to specify  
an alternate function that returns plotting parameters differently as  
long as those conforms to the requirements for structure. You can look  
at boxplot.stats (it's not that big)  and then construct an  
alternative. The line you would need to alter would be the one  
starting with:  stats<-stats::fivenum(...), since you are changing the  
values returned by fivenum(). You might get away with just changing  
stats[1] and stats[5] to your revised specifications, although it has  
occurred to me that you might get some of those "out" dots inside your  
whiskers. (Fixing that would not be too hard once you are inside  
boxplot.stats().

Seemed to work for me with your data (at least the extent of plotting  
a nice 3 x 2 panel display. All I did was redefine an nboxplot.stats  
by inserting this line after the line cited above:

stats[c(1,5)]<- quantile(x, probs=c(0.05, 0.95))

and then added an argument  ..., stats=nboxplot.stats)  inside your  
panel.bwplot.

hello list,

i'd very much appreciate help with setting up the 
contrast for a 2-factorial crossed design.

here is a toy example:

library(multcomp)

dat<-data.frame(fac1=gl(4,8,labels=LETTERS[1:4]),
                fac2=rep(c("I","II"),16),y=rnorm(32,1,1))

mod<-lm(y~fac1*fac2,data=dat)

## the contrasts i'm interressted in:

c1<-rbind("fac2-effect in A"=c(0,1,0,0,0,0,0,0),
          "fac2-effect in B"=c(0,1,0,0,0,1,0,0),
          "fac2-effect in C"=c(0,1,0,0,0,0,1,0),
          "fac2-effect in D"=c(0,1,0,0,0,0,0,1),
	    "fac2-effect, A*B"=c(0,0,0,0,0,1,0,0),
          "fac2-effect, A*C"=c(0,0,0,0,0,0,1,0),
          "fac2-effect, A*D"=c(0,0,0,0,0,0,0,1))

summary(glht(mod,c1))

## now i want to add the remaining combinations 
## "fac2, B*C"
## "fac2, B*D"
## "fac2, C*D"
## to the simultanous tests to see whether the effects 
## of fac2 within the levels of fac1 differ between  
## each combination of the levels of fac1, or not ??

Dear All,

I have 4 or 5 contour plots that I need to overlay. Currently they are maps
showing hot and cold areas for specific elements.
I would like to combine these plots into one map, where each color will
correspond to a different element and you would be able to see the areas
that each element occupies on this map.
Is there a way to do this in 'R'? I am fairly new to this software, so any
help would be much appreciated.
Thank you in advance,

Jeremy

I don't know of any tools that would do this generally (RODBC could do it if
there were specific column names in the 1st row and a given column with
information to identify the rows, but this seems unlikely from your
description).  A couple of possibilities:

In Excel you can highlight the columns of interest, right click and choose
'copy', then in R type:

> mydata <- read.delim('clipboard')

And you will have the data.  This is easy and straight forward, but requires
clicking and therefore cannot be automated.


The read.xls function in the gdata package uses Perl to extract data from an
excel file and import it into R, it has an option for setting the beginning
row to read from, but not the general section that you ask for.  The Perl
tools however can grab specific ranges of cells, you could adapt the
read.xls function (and Perl script) to do what you want in a more automated
way.

Good luck,

Message-ID: <1286985423721-2993905.post at n4.nabble.com>
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii


Dear R community,

I am struggling a bit with a probably fairly simple task. I need to use some
already existing functions as argument for a new function that I am going to
create. 'dataset' is an argument, and it comprises objects named
'mean_test', 'sd_test', 'kurt_test' and so on. 'arg1' tells what object I
want (mean, sd, kurt) while 'arg2' tells what to do to the object taken in
'arg1' (again could be mean, sd, but also any other operation/function).

I was thinking about something like:

myfunction<-function(dataset,arg1,arg2)

{

attach(dataset)
result=arg2(paste(arg1,"_test"))

return(result)

}

But this of course does not work! 'arg1' is of type closure and I cannot set
it as character. Moreover, paste will create a string, and I do not think I
can pass a string to the function of 'arg2'. How should I do?

Thanks,
Marco

Hopefully there is not much overlap , so dealing with the collisions/ 
overlap is not a major issue?

First, specify the plotting paradigm to be used (base, lattice, ggplot2)
If base, then the "new=TRUE" parameter in par (and don't complain to  
me if you think new=TRUE is a weird construction for keeping the old  
plot active and adding additional elements. I find it backwards to how  
I think "new" would be interpreted.) You will need to repeated invoke  
par)new="TRUE" before each addition.

If lattice, probably panel.superpose(), which I don't really  
understand very well, but I'm learning slowly.

If ggplot2, someone with experience will come along and advise us.

If I understand you correctly, just arg2(arg1) will work fine...One of
the nice features of R.

Example:

f <- function(dat,fun=mean,...)
{
   fun(dat, ...) ## ... allows extra arguments to fun
}


f( rnorm(10), trim=.05) ## trimmed mean
x <- 1:10
f(x, fun = max,na.rm=TRUE)


Cheers,
Bert

Thaks for your quick reply Bert, although I doubt it works.

The reason is that the names of the objects of the dataset, all end with the
sufix '_test' and therefore I need to attach/paste/glue this suffix to the
'arg2' of the function. Any other idea?

Think about what will be assigned to "i" and perhaps even print it to   
your console, since it's not what you apparently expect: 

  for(i in FeMnCd){print(i); plot(i, xlab="Event",ylab=colnames(FeMnCd) 
[i]) } 

The source of you confusion may become more clear.

This often happens when your C code uses memory that
it did not allocate, particularly when it reads or
writes just a little beyond the end of a memory block.
On some platforms or if you are lucky there is unused
memory between blocks of allocated memory and you don't
see a problem.  Other machines may pack allocated memory
blocks more tightly and writing off the end of an array
corrupts another array, leading to the program crashing.
(Or reading off the end of an array may pick up data from
the next array, which leads to similar crashes later on.)
You may also be reading memory which has never been written
to, hence you are using random data, which could corrupt
things.

Use a program like valgrind (on Linux, free) or Purify (on
various platforms, but pricy) to detect memory misuse
in C/C++ code.  As long as your code isn't #ifdef'ed for
various platforms, you can use valgrind to detect and fix
memory misuse on Linux and you will find that overt

If I have a character array:

list = c("A", "B", "C")

how do I access the third element without doing list[3]. Can't I find the
index of "C" using a particular function?

Hello all,

I had a very strange looking problem that turned out to be due to unexpected
(by me at least) format changes to one of my data files.  We have a small
lab study in which each run is represented by a row in a tab-delimited file;
each row identifies a repetition of the experiment and associates it with
some subjective measurements and times from our notes that get used to index
another file with lots of automatically collected data.  In short, nothing
shocking.

In a moment of weakness, I opened the file using (I think it's version 3.2)
of OpenOffice Calc to edit something that I had mangled when I first entered
it, saved it (apparently the mistake), and reran my analysis code.  The
results were goofy, and the problem was in my code that runs before R ever
sees the data.  That code was confused by things that I would like to ensure
don't happen again, and I suspect that some of you might have thoughts on
it.

The problems specifically:

(1) OO seems to be a little stingy about producing tab-delimited text; there
is stuff online about using the csv and editing the filter and folks
(presumably like us) saying that it deserves to be a separate option.

(2) Dates that I had formatted as YYYY got chopped to YY (did we not learn
anything last time?<g>) and times that I had formatted in 24 hours ended up
AM/PM.

Have any of you found a nice (or at least predictable) way to use OO Calc to
edit files like this?  If it insists on thinking for me, I wish it would
think in 24 hour time and 4 digit years :)  I work on Linux, so Excel is off
the table, but another spreadsheet or text editor would be a viable option,
as would configuration changes to Calc.

Bill

No idea about Calc, I use it regularly but only to view files (and
that mostly csv, not tab-delinited). The most primitive solution is to
use a plain text editor such as vi that will save everything as it
loaded it except for what you change. The second most primitive idea
(or maybe not so primitive after all) is to read the table into R and
manually fix it there such as table$column[row] = "ABCD" (this is my
favorite way of changing things :)). The third most primitive idea
which I have actually never used but which may be viable is to load it
into R and use the fix() function that pulls up a rather primitive but
functional data editor.

I don't use OpenOffice (soon to be LibreOffice) much these days, but one of
the things that you can try, is when you go to save the file as a CSV and
edit the filter, there is an option there "Save cell content as shown". If
that is checked, then any cell formatting that has been applied, either by
default or by your actions, will be retained in the exported data. If that
is unchecked, then the 'raw' data is exported to the file. I just tried it
here (on OSX) and with the option checked, the years were exported with the
default two digits. The years were exported with four digits with the box
unchecked.

Unfortunately, I had no joy with a time field. The AM/PM formatting was
retained with the box checked or unchecked.

>From what I can tell from a quick search, these default formats are
determined by the language/locale settings.

On Linux, a spreadsheet based alternative would be Gnumeric
(http://projects.gnome.org/gnumeric/) and of course, there is always Emacs,
which I have now used on Windows, Linux and OSX.

HTH,

It is, but it is doable (you can manually edit the extension to .txt
and edit the field and then choose tab or a _few_ other options that
your heart desires.  Importing should be similar.

The "general" cell format can be quite convenient, but usually seems
one of the most awful creations in both Excel and Calc.  Rants aside,
try forcing the cell format (I like text because it generally just
treats it asis then).

Albyn,

I'll look into it.  In fact, I have a small book on it that I bought in my
very early days of using Linux.  I quickly found TeX Maker (for the
obvious), Code::Blocks for C/C++ and I would not have started the move
without a working Smalltalk (http://pharo-project.org/home).

For editing data files, I really just want something that shows data in an
understandable grid and does not do weird stuff thinking it's being helpful.

Bill

Currently no - does Pipeline Pilot out put their ECFP's in a standard
format? if so can you send me an example file? (Asuming they output
fp's for a single molecule on a single row, you could implement your
own line parse and supply it via the lf argument in fp.read. See
cdk.lf, moe.lf or bci.lf for examples)

The other issue is how one evaluates similarity between variable
length feature fingerprints, such as ECFPs. One approach is to map the
features into a fixed length bit string. Another approach is to just
look at intersections and unions of features to evaluate the Tanimoto
score. It seems to me that the former leads to loss of resolution and
that the latter could lead to generally low Tanimoto scores.

Do you know what Pipeline Pilot does?

Peter,

vi is *really* primitive =:0  R is a little late because I tend to do shape
changes prior to invoking R.  However, I could load tweak and re-save and
then bring R back into it later.  I never would have thought of it.  Thanks!

Bill

into R and use the fix() function that pulls up a rather primitive but
functional data editor.

I am trying a simple toin coss simulation, of say 200 coin tosses. The idea
is to have a data frame like so:
    Experiment#    Number_Of_Heads
     1                   104
     2                    96
     3                    101

So I do:

 d <-data.frame(exp_num=c(1,2,3));  /* Just 3 experiments to begin with */
 d$head_ct <-sum(sample(0:1,200,repl=TRUE));
 d;
  exp_num    head_ct
1       1        85
2       2        85
3       3        85                             /* the same scalar value is
applied to all the rows */

So I tried using "within", and "for", and making the "sum(   " as a
function, and I end up with the same...I get the same constant value.  But
what I want of course is different "samples"....

Thank you very much for your kind reply.

I used gdb, and it returns a reason "KERN_INVALID_ADDRESS" on a very simple
operation (obtaining the time step for a numerical integration). Please see
bellow.

But, um, I solved it by changing the function's arguments in the C code from
"unsigned long int" to "int". In R, those arguments were defined with
"as.integer". So, can you now understand why the error happens (on iMac and
not on Linux)? If yes, can you explain it to me? :-)

If some argument is defined in C as "unsigned long int", I see that the R
equivalent is *not* "as.integer". Which is it?

Thank you very much in advance,

David
Can you please Cc to me any replies, just in case I may miss any of them
among the whole amount of emails :-) ?

---------------------------------------

Program received signal EXC_BAD_ACCESS, Could not access memory.
Reason: KERN_INVALID_ADDRESS at address: 0x0000000902ef3d68
[...]
139        double
time_step=(times[number_times[0]-1]-times[0])/(number_timesteps[0]);

(note: "number_times" and "number_timesteps" are integer arrays with a
single component, because they are arguments of the C function that need to
be passed from R. They were defined as "unsigned long int" in C, and
"as.integer" in R, giving the error. If I define them as "int" in C, the
error disappears).

Dear all,



I am trying to run a loop in my codes, but the software returns an error:
"subscript out of bounds"



I dont understand exactly why this is happenning. My codes are the
following:



rm(list=ls()) #remove almost everything in the memory

set.seed(180185)
nsim <- 10
mresultx <- matrix(-99, nrow=1000, ncol=nsim)
mresultb <- matrix(-99, nrow=1000, ncol=nsim)
N <- 200
I <- 5
taus <- c(0.480:0.520)

#Create an object to hold results.
M <- matrix(0, ncol=82, nrow=nsim)
Mhb0 <- matrix(0, ncol=20, nrow=nsim)
Mhb1 <- matrix(0, ncol=20, nrow=nsim)
Mchb0 <- matrix(0, ncol=20, nrow=nsim)
Mchb1 <- matrix(0, ncol=20, nrow=nsim)
for (i in 1:nsim){
# make a matrix with 5 cols of N random uniform values
u <- replicate( 5, runif(N, 0, 1) )
# fit matrix u in another matrix of 1 column
mu <- matrix(u, nrow=1000, ncol=1)
# make auction-specific covariate
x <- runif(N, 0, 1)
mx <- matrix(rep(x,5), nrow=1000, ncol=1)
b0 <- matrix(rep(c(1),1000), nrow=1000, ncol=1)
#function for private cost
cost <- b0+b0*mx+mu
#bidding strategy
bid <- mx+((I+1)/I)+((I-1)/I)*mu
mresultb[,i] <- bid
mresultx[,i] <- mx
qf <- rq(formula = mresultb[,i] ~ mresultx[,i], tau= 480:520/1000)
# Storing result and does not overwrite prior values
M[i, ] <- coef(qf)
QI <- (1-0.5)/(I-1)
M50b0 <- M[,41]
M50b1 <- M[,42] 
Mb0 <- matrix(M[,codd], nrow=nsim, ncol=20)
Mb1 <- matrix(M[,ceven], nrow=nsim, ncol=20)
for (t in cevenl){
Mhb0[ ,t] <- M[,(41+t)]-M[,(41-t)]
Mhb1[ ,t] <- M[,(42+t)]-M[,(42-t)]
}
}



Problem: the problem is in the red part of the loop. I want that the
software takes the column (41+t) from the matrix called M and subtract from
it the cloumn (41-t) of the same matrix M, such that the value of t varies
according to the vector cevenl above.



Why is this looping not working?



Thanks in advance!!!

Hi,

this should be an easy one, but I can't figure it out.
I have a vector of tests, with their units between brackets (if they have
units).
eg tests <- c("pH", "Assay (%)", "Impurity A(%)", "content (mg/ml)")

Now I would like to hava a function where I use a test as input, and which
returns the units
like:
f <- function (x) sub("\\)", "", sub("\\(", "",sub("[[:alnum:]]+","",x)))
this should give "", "%", "%", "mg/ml", but it doesn't do the job quit well.

After searching in the manual, and on the help lists, I cant find the
answer.

anyone?

Bart

try this:

I hope it helps.

/* */ is not a valid comment in R, and you don't need ';' either :)

Just try evaluating the right hand side so that the R interpreter
prints the result.  This is just calling sample once, and therefore
you only get one number, 85 in your case.

Look at ?replicate or just use ?rbinom directly

d <-data.frame(exp_num = 1:3)
d$head_ct <- rbinom(nrow(d), 200, prob = 0.5)

Message-ID: <4CB5F837.6010105 at virginia.edu>
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1; format=flowed

  Hi,

I've looked all over for a solution to this, but haven't had much look 
in specifying what I want to do with appropriate search terms.  Thus I'm 
turning to R-help.

In the process of trying to write a simple function to rename individual 
column names in a data frame, I ran into the following problem: When I 
rename the columns within my function, I can't seem to get it to apply 
to the data frame in the global environment in a simple manner.

Given:

tempdf <- data.frame("a" = 1:6, "b" = 7:12)

#I can rename a to g this way:
names(tempdf)[names(tempdf)=="a"] <- "g"

#Wanting to simplify this for the future, I have the function:
colrename <- function(dframe, oldname, newname) {
     names(dframe)[names(dframe)==oldname] <- newname
     }

colrename(tempdf, "a", "g")

#However of course the change to tempdf stays within colrename().  I 
could add "return(names(dframe))" to the function and then call the 
function like:
#names(tempdf) <- colrename(tempdf, "a", "g")
#but at that point its not much simpler than the original:
#names(tempdf)[names(tempdf)=="a"] <- "g"

So, i'm wondering, is there a way to write code within that function so 
that the tempdf in the global environment gets changed?
I thought of doing "names(dframe)[names(dframe)==oldname] <<- newname" 
but then of course it doesn't replace "dframe" with "tempdf" in the 
evaluation, so it seems to be a problem of looking at some variables 
within the function environment but others in the parent environment.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Jon

Make the changes to a local copy, then save it to the global (or just 
return the local copy as the value of the global).  For example,

colrename<- function(dframe, oldname, newname) {
      names(dframe)[names(dframe)==oldname]<- newname
      dframe
      }

called as

tempdf<- colrename(tempdf, "a", "g")

or if you really want to mess with things that don't belong to your
function,



colrename<- function(dframe, oldname, newname) {
      name<- deparse(substitute(dframe))
      names(dframe)[names(dframe)==oldname]<- newname
      assign(name, dframe, env=globalenv())
      }



(but watch out if you call this with something other than a simple 
variable name as the first argument).

I don't know much about the iMac.   R's .C() passes
R-language integers as pointers to 32-bit ints.  If
your iMac is 64-bit and sizeof(long)==8 in your compiler
(pretty common for 64-bit compilers but not so for
Microsoft Windows compilers) then Long[0] will
use the next 64 bits to make an integral value out of
while Int[0] will only use the next 32 bits.  Since R
only passes 32 bits/integer your Long[0] would include
32 random bits in its value and using it as a subscript
would often point to a place in memory that you don't own.

emacs shows you exactly what is there, nothing more nor less.
it isn't a spreadsheet, but tabs will align columns.

Dear all,



I have just sent an email with my problem, but I think no one can see the
red part, beacuse it is black. So, i am writing again the codes:



rm(list=ls()) #remove almost everything in the memory

set.seed(180185)
nsim <- 10
mresultx <- matrix(-99, nrow=1000, ncol=nsim)
mresultb <- matrix(-99, nrow=1000, ncol=nsim)
N <- 200
I <- 5
taus <- c(0.480:0.520)
h <- c(1:20/1000)
alpha1 <- c(1:82)
aeven1 <- alpha[2 * 1:41]
aodd1 <- alpha[-2 * 1:41]
alpha2 <- c(1:40)
aeven2 <- alpha2[2 * 1:20]
#Create an object to hold results.
M <- matrix(0, ncol=82, nrow=nsim)
Mhb0 <- matrix(0, ncol=20, nrow=nsim)
Mhb1 <- matrix(0, ncol=20, nrow=nsim)
Mchb0 <- matrix(0, ncol=20, nrow=nsim)
Mchb1 <- matrix(0, ncol=20, nrow=nsim)
for (i in 1:nsim){
# make a matrix with 5 cols of N random uniform values
u <- replicate( 5, runif(N, 0, 1) )
# fit matrix u in another matrix of 1 column
mu <- matrix(u, nrow=1000, ncol=1)
# make auction-specific covariate
x <- runif(N, 0, 1)
mx <- matrix(rep(x,5), nrow=1000, ncol=1)
b0 <- matrix(rep(c(1),1000), nrow=1000, ncol=1)
#function for private cost
cost <- b0+b0*mx+mu
#bidding strategy
bid <- mx+((I+1)/I)+((I-1)/I)*mu
mresultb[,i] <- bid
mresultx[,i] <- mx
qf <- rq(formula = mresultb[,i] ~ mresultx[,i], tau= 480:520/1000)
# Storing result and does not overwrite prior values
M[i, ] <- coef(qf)
QI <- (1-0.5)/(I-1)
M50b0 <- M[,41]
M50b1 <- M[,42] 
Mb0 <- matrix(M[,aodd1], nrow=nsim, ncol=20)
Mb1 <- matrix(M[,aeven1], nrow=nsim, ncol=20)
 for (t in aeven2){
 Mhb0[,t] <- M[,(41+t)]-M[,(41-t)]
 Mhb1[,t] <- M[,(42+t)]-M[,(42-t)]
 }
}



The problem is in the part: 

for (t in aeven2){
 Mhb0[,t] <- M[,(41+t)]-M[,(41-t)]
 Mhb1[,t] <- M[,(42+t)]-M[,(42-t)]
 }


Since I want the software to subtract from column (41+t) of matrix called M
the column (41-t), in such a way that the matrix Mhb0 will show me the
result for each t organized by columns.



Does anybody know what exactly I am doing wrong?



Thanks in advance!

- which version of Mac OS X?
- Which version of R? (version, architecture)
- Officially provided R or compiled by you? Official R is compiled with
Apple gcc.
- if R was compiled with Apple compiler, who knows what can happen if you
link with code compiled with a non Apple gcc?
- if the code runs ok on your supervisors iMac: did he use Apple compiler?
if so I wouldn't be surprised if your Macports compiler is a possible cause
of your troubles.
- on 64bit Mac OS X long int is 64bits and int is 32bits; on 32bit Mac OSX
both are 32 bits.

Bart,

I'm hardly one of the lists regex gurus: but this can
get you started...

tests <- c("pH", "Assay (%)", "Impurity A(%)", "content (mg/ml)")

x <- regexpr("\\((.*)\\)", tests)
substr(tests, x + 1, x + attr(x, "match.length") - 2)

One way:

gsub(".*\\(([^()]*)\\).*", "\\1",tests)

Idea: Pick out the units designation between the "()" and replace the
whole expression with it. The "\\1" refers to the "[^()]*
parenthesized expression in the middle that picks out the units.

Cheers,
Bert

Not a direct answer to your question, but
does the ?rename function in the reshape package do what you want?

In general, the paradigm that I think R tries to promote is to
call functions that *return values* that you can assign to object
names, so calling "colrename" below to change an object in the
global environment is warned against for its side effects.

You could have the function return the modified data.frame, but
of course that's what the "rename" function I mention above does
already.

You might also see ?transform.

You have been little stingy yourself about describing what you did. I  
see no specifics about the actual data used as input nor the specific  
operations. I just opened an OO.o Calc workbook and dropped a  
character vector, "1969-12-31 23:59:50" copied from help(POSIXct) into  
a2. I then copied it to a3 and formatted it to be in the precanned  
format, MM/DD/YYYY HH:MM:SS , noticed that it had not been interpreted  
as a data-time vlaue at all so entered =TODAY()+TIME(13;0;0) in a4 and 
=TIME(13;0;0) in a5, formated to a user specified custom time format  
of YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS


Copied a5 to c1:c5
  saved to a text-csv file specifying the field separator as tab and  
the text-delimiter as '"' and got:

""time"		1899-12-30 13:00:00
"1969-12-31 23:59:50"		1899-12-30 13:00:00
"1969-12-31 23:59:50"		1899-12-30 13:00:00
2010-10-13 13:00:00		1899-12-30 13:00:00
1899-12-30 13:00:00		1899-12-30 13:00:00


This handling of dates and times does not seem particularly difficult  
to elicit andseems to represent dates in YYYY and times in "military

I didn't do anything I thought was out of the ordinary and so cannot  
reproduce your problem. (This was on a Mac, but OO.o is probably going  
to behave the same across *NIX cultures.)

Julia,

Can you provide a reproducible example? Your code calls the
'rq' function which is not found on my system.

Any paring down of the code to make it more readable would
help us help you better, too.

Note:

My original proposal, not quite right, can be made quite right via:

gsub(".*\\((.*)\\).*||[^()]+", "\\1",tests)

The "||" or clause at the end handles the case where there are no
parentheses in the string.

Here's a shorter (but more cryptic) one:

[1] ""        "(%)"     "(%)"     "(mg/ml)"

As an addendum to my question, I'm attempting to apply the solution to the
robust non-linear regression function nlrob from the robustbase package, and
it doesn't work in that situation. I'm getting

allRobustFit <- nlrob(Y ~ (upper)/(1+10^(X-LOGEC50[dset])), data=all
,start=list(upper=max(all$Y),LOGEC50=c(-8.5,-8.5,-8.5)))
Error in nls(formula, data = data, start = start, algorithm = algorithm,  :
  parameters without starting value in 'data': LOGEC50

I'm guessing this is because the nlrob function doesn't know what to do with
a vector for a start value. Am I correct and is there another method of
using nlrob in the same way?

Thanks,
Jared

Dear Eriki and all



To run Quantile regression, it is necessary to install the following package
in R:



install.packages("quantreg")



Then, write:



library(quantreg)



And the software will run.



rm(list=ls()) #remove almost everything in the memory

set.seed(180185)
nsim <- 10
mresultx <- matrix(-99, nrow=1000, ncol=nsim)
mresultb <- matrix(-99, nrow=1000, ncol=nsim)
N <- 200
I <- 5
taus <- c(0.480:0.520)
h <- c(1:20/1000)
alpha1 <- c(1:82)
aeven1 <- alpha1[2 * 1:41]
aodd1 <- alpha1[-2 * 1:41]
alpha2 <- c(1:40)
aeven2 <- alpha2[2 * 1:20]
#Create an object to hold results.
M <- matrix(0, ncol=82, nrow=nsim)
Mhb0 <- matrix(0, ncol=20, nrow=nsim)
Mhb1 <- matrix(0, ncol=20, nrow=nsim)
Mchb0 <- matrix(0, ncol=20, nrow=nsim)
Mchb1 <- matrix(0, ncol=20, nrow=nsim)
for (i in 1:nsim){
# make a matrix with 5 cols of N random uniform values
u <- replicate( 5, runif(N, 0, 1) )
# fit matrix u in another matrix of 1 column
mu <- matrix(u, nrow=1000, ncol=1)
# make auction-specific covariate
x <- runif(N, 0, 1)
mx <- matrix(rep(x,5), nrow=1000, ncol=1)
b0 <- matrix(rep(c(1),1000), nrow=1000, ncol=1)
#function for private cost
cost <- b0+b0*mx+mu
#bidding strategy
bid <- mx+((I+1)/I)+((I-1)/I)*mu
mresultb[,i] <- bid
mresultx[,i] <- mx
qf <- rq(formula = mresultb[,i] ~ mresultx[,i], tau= 480:520/1000)
# Storing result and does not overwrite prior values
M[i, ] <- coef(qf)
QI <- (1-0.5)/(I-1)
M50b0 <- M[,41]
M50b1 <- M[,42] 
Mb0 <- matrix(M[,aodd1], nrow=nsim, ncol=20)
Mb1 <- matrix(M[,aeven1], nrow=nsim, ncol=20)
 for (t in aeven2){
 Mhb0[,t] <- M[,(41+t)]-M[,(41-t)]
 Mhb1[,t] <- M[,(42+t)]-M[,(42-t)]
 }
}



Here, the matrix M stores the result for all quantiles (by column)
considering each simulation i (by row).

Then, I try to make some algebric simulations. I need to calculate Mhb0 such
that for each value of t, the column called t in matrix Mhb0 will be the
result of the subtraction of column (41-t) from the column (41+t) of the
matrix M. To be more precise:



for t = 2, 4, 6,...



Mhb0 will be a matrix such that in the first column I will have {column
(41+t) of M - column (41-t) of M}

 This should be the loop, and I would have 20 column for all the even number
from 2 to 82 (specified in aeven2).



Is that clear now? But the software says: "Error in Mhb0[, t] <- M[, (41 +
t)] - M[, (41 - t)] :   subscript out of bounds"



What am I doing wrong?



Thanks a lot!



Julia

R is primarily a function language not a macro language and what you are
trying to do matches more with macro programming.

The best approach is to think functionally and learn the more Rish ways of
doing things (have the function return the changed data and the caller does
the replacement, like has been shown in other responses).

If you really want the macro behavior (and are willing to live with the
consequences (don't complain that you were not warned)), then look at the
defmacro function in the gtools package and the article in the reference
section on its help page.

Julia -
    Your subscript is out of range because in this loop:

     for (t in aeven2){
         Mhb0[,t] <- M[,(41+t)]-M[,(41-t)]
         Mhb1[,t] <- M[,(42+t)]-M[,(42-t)]
        }

t takes the values from 2 to 40 by 2, and you've
declared Mhb0 and Mhb1 as matrices with 20 columns.
So when t reaches 22, there is no corresponding 
column in Mhb0 or Mhb1.

emacs org-mode can convert your tab delimited file to a 'table' that you 
can edit either using org-mode functions OR as plain text by switching to 
fundamental mode.

In emacs speak, just put the cursor at the top of a buffer holding your 
file and do

 	M-x replace-string RET TAB RET | RET

I think, then move your cursor to a line that has a '|' in it and hit TAB, 
and you have a neatly formatted table.

See,

 	http://orgmode.org/worg/org-tutorials/tables.php

for an intro.

A big advantage in using an org-mode table is you can place an R source 
code block further down in the same file, and it can read in the data in 
the table. Then you can go back to the table to edit, then rerun R, ...

I append an example below.

There is a load of tutorial info at

Subject: [R] vectorizing: selecting one record per group
Message-ID: <4cb6100f.0c44970a.6fe3.699a at mx.google.com>
Content-Type: text/plain

Hi,



I want to select a subsample from my data, choosing one record from each
group. I know how to do this with a for.



For example: lets say I have the data:

A=cbind(rnorm(100),runif(100),(rep(c(1,2,3,4,5),20)))

Where the third column is the group variable. Then what I want is to select
5 observations. Each one taken randomly from each group.





INDEX =NULL

i=1

for(index_g in  unique(A[,3])){

INDEX [i]=sample(which(A[,3]==index_g),1)

i=i+1

}

SEL=A[INDEX,]





Is there a way to do this without a for? in other words is there a way to
vectorize this?



Thank you,

There already is a function (or perhaps a composition of two  
functions) that does what you ask. It's the '<-' method for names()  
usually invoked in its dyadic form:

names(object) <- character_vector

 > df <- data.frame(one=rnorm(10), two=rnorm(10))
 > names(df) <- c("three", "four")
 > names(df)
[1] "three" "four"

In your case it would work like this:

 > names(tempdf)[ which(names(tempdf)=="a") ] <- "g"
 > names(tempdf)
[1] "g" "b"

Subject: [R] Matrix subscripting to wrap around from end to start of
	row
Message-ID:
	<AANLkTimX+evNtDhHe9EQ350pLS-FkVpcSfFL=H5j4Drd at mail.gmail.com>
Content-Type: text/plain

Perhaps it is just that I don't even know the correct term to search for,
but I can find nothing that explains how to wrap around from the end to a
start of a row in a matrix.

For example, you have a matrix of 2 years of data, where rows are years, and
columns are months.
month.data = matrix(c(3,4,6,8,12,90,5,14,22, 8), nrow = 2, ncol=5)

I would like to take the average of months 5:1  for each year (for row 1
=12.5). However, I am passing the start month (5) and the end month (1) as
variables.

I would like to do something like

year.avg = apply(month.data[, start.month:end.month], MARGIN=1, mean)

But that gives me the average of months 1:5. (for row 1 =9.6)

I know I could use:
apply(month.data[, c(1,5)], 1, mean)
but I don't know how to pass start.month, end.month into that format that
because paste or sprintf forces them to strings, which are not accepted in a
subscript.

I have the feeling I am unaware of some obvious trick.

strapply in gsubfn can match by content which is what you want.

We use a regular expression which is a literal left paren, "\\("
followed by a capturing paren ( followed by the longest string not
containing a right paren [^)]* followed by the matching capturing
paren "\\)" with strapply from the gsubfn package.  This returns the
matches to the function that is in the third arg and it just
concatenates them.  The result is simplified into a character vector
(rather than a list).

library(gsubfn)
strapply(tests, "\\(([^)]*)\\)", c, simplify = c)

e.g.

> strapply(tests, "\\(([^)]*)\\)", c, simplify = c)
[1] "%"     "%"     "mg/ml"

See http://gsubfn.googlecode.com for the gsubfn home page and more info.

Hello,

There are probably many ways to do this, but I think
it's easier if you use a data.frame as your object.

The easy solution for the matrix you provide is escaping
me at the moment.

One solution, using the plyr package:


library(plyr)
A <- data.frame(a = rnorm(100),b = runif(100), c = rep(c(1,2,3,4,5),20))
ddply(A, .(c), function(x) x[sample(1:nrow(x), 1), ])

             a         b c
1  0.02995847 0.4763819 1
2  0.72035194 0.2948611 2
3  1.34963917 0.2057488 3
4 -1.99427160 0.1147923 4
5 -0.73612703 0.5889539 5

Just try evaluating the right hand side so that the R interpreter 
prints the result.  This is just calling sample once, and therefore 
you only get one number, 85 in your case.

Look at ?replicate or just use ?rbinom directly 

d <-data.frame(exp_num = 1:3) 
d$head_ct <- rbinom(nrow(d), 200, prob = 0.5)

Probably instead of guessing and seeing how various things react, you
could go get a utility like octal dump or open in an editor that
has a hex mode and see what happened. This could be anything- crlf
convention,
someone turned it to unicode, etc. On linux or cygwin I think you have
"od" available. Then of course, if you know what R likes, you can use
sed to fix it...

I know *what* happened (Calc reformatted the data in ways I did not want or
expect).   It is not end-of-line conventions; they reformatted the data
leaving the structure intact.  As to why/how, that could depend on the
sequence of operations, so I thought to ask here to see if you had
collectively either found something specific to do or to avoid. 

Gnumeric is now freshly installed and will get some testing; if I don't care
for it, I'll look more at emacs.  I don't ask much of a spreadsheet
(show/edit a grid and maybe hide/show columns for complex data sets), but it
would be nice if it did not reformat everything every time I open a file :(

So far, gnumeric successfully opened a file; I will be a little less

Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1

Hello all,

I am trying to use cbind to add a named empty column to a Matrix:

outputmatrix <- cbind(outputmatrix,kog_id = seq(0,0,0))

The problem I have is that kog_id is a variable that has a value e.g.
"KOG1234", but I when I try to use this to name the added column, it
is named literally "kog_id" instead of "KOG1234".

How can I name a column by passing in a variable for the column name?
I am performing this action inside of a for loop, so I can't
necessarily know the position of the column in order to name it after
it is created.

Thanks,

Alison Callahan

Hello everyone,

I wanted to ask if there is an R-package to fit the following Poisson
regression model

log(\lambda_{ijk}) = \phi_{i} + \alpha_{j} + \beta_{k}
i=1,\cdots,N (subjects)
j=0,1 (two levels)
k=0,1 (two levels)

treating the \phi_{i} as nuinsance parameters.

Thank you very much

Thanks, David for the response.

Unfortunately, that only works for the case where I happen to only want the
last and first month "wrap".
But it doesn't work for any other case, e.g., say I want months start.month
= 4, end.month = 2.
Now
start=4; end=2; year.avg = apply(month.data[, c(start,end)], 1, mean)
would give me just the average of months 4 and 2, when I want the average of
months 4, 5, 1, 2.

I could do an if statement:
start = 4
end = 2
if (end < start ) {
  start.script = paste(start, ":5", sep="")
  end.script = paste("1:", 5-end, sep="")
  final.script = paste("c(",start.script,",",end.script,")", sep="")}
out = apply(month.data[,final.script], 1, mean)

But, alas, final.script is now a string, and it can't be passed that way.

Is there either a way to tell the script that 4:2 does not mean 4,3,2, but
it means 4,5,1,2
or is there a way to pass final.script into the subscript in the apply
command
or am I missing something else?

Thanks again,
Alisa

Not sure off the top of my head what the right way might be, but this  
should work:

names(outputmatrix)[ which( names(outputmatrix) == "kog_id")] <- kog_id

Then just put in the true start's and end's of the loop/series/ring/ 
whatever:

start=4; end=2; year.avg = apply(month.data[, c(1:start,end:5)], 1,  
mean)

If you don't know the length of the full cycle, the has to be some way  
to derive length(series-object):

start=4; end=2; year.avg = apply(month.data[,  
c(1:start,end:length(series-object))], 1, mean)

Message-ID: <SNT126-W54140EB086EAFA5F78FC53D1550 at phx.gbl>
Content-Type: text/plain


Dear all,



I need to do a loop as following:



#Consider a matrix: 

M <- matrix(1, nrow=10, ncol=20)

#Matrices to store the looping results

M1 <- matrix(0, nrow=10, ncol=400)

h <- c(1:20/1000)

#loop

for (j in h){

M1 <- M/(2*j)

}



But this means that the first 20 columns of matrix M1 (that is, columns
1:20) should show the results of M/(2*0.001). Then, the following 20 columns
of M1 (that is, columns 21:40) should show the results of M/(2*0.002) and so
on until columns 381:400 that would show the results of M/(2*0.02).



What should I include in the loop above in order to have this result?



Thanks a lot!



Julia

You need to add indexes to your tables.   See example 4i on the sqldf home
page
http://sqldf.googlecode.com
This can result in huge speedups for large tables.

If I am reading this piece correctly there should be no difference  
between a conditional treatment of phi_i in  that model and results  
from the unconditional model one would get from fitting with

glm(lambda ~ phi + alpha + beta  ,family="poisson").

One possible way to treat parameters as "nuisance parameters" is to model
them as random.  This gives allows them to have a reduced parametric load.  

There are many packages with funcitons to fit glmms.  One you may wish to
look at is lme4, which has the lmer fitting function

library(lme4)
fm <- glmer(Y ~ A + B + (1|Subject), family = poisson, data = pData)

for example, may be a useful alternative to a fully fixed effects approach.

Right.

But if N is large, the model.matrix will be huge and there may be problems 
with memory and elapsed time.

loglin() and loglm() will fit the same model without need for a 
model.matrix (modulo having enough data to actually fit that model), and 
large values of N are no big deal.

Hi Juan,

Yes, you can use EMD to quantify the difference between any pair of
histograms regardless of their shape. The only constraint, at least
the way that I've done it previously, is to have compatible bins. The
original application of EMD was to compare images based on colour
histograms which could have all sorts of shapes.

I looked at the package that Dennis alerted me to on RForge but
unfortunately it seems to be inactive and the nightly builds are
broken. I've downloaded the source code and will have a look at it
sometime in the next few days.

Meanwhile, let me know if you want a copy of my own code. It uses the
lpSolve package.

Dividing a matrix by a scalar produces a matrix of the _same_  
dimensions. You overwrote the M1 matrix 20 times and ended up with the  
results of only the last iteration.

Use an indexing strategy that limits the assignment to the particular  
columns targeted.

Perhaps (although I forgot the factor of 2):

for (j in 1:20) {
    M1[ ,(20*j -19):(20*j) <- rep(M1[,j]/h[j], 20) }

Message-ID: <4cb67e8c.2a978e0a.7797.3409 at mx.google.com>
Content-Type: text/plain;	charset="us-ascii"

I have  a question about the output given below after running few lines of
[[elided Yahoo spam]]

MF_Data <- read.csv("MF_Data_F.txt", header = F, sep="|")
temp <- head(MF_Data) #Get the sample Data
temp1 <- subset(temp, select= c(V1,V4,V6)) #where V1, V4, V6 are the col
names .. to Get the relevant data
names(temp1) <- c('Ticker', 'Price','Date') #Adjusted column names

Now as expected, I get:
> temp1
  Ticker   Price        Date
1 106270 10.3287 01-Apr-2008
2 106269 10.3287 01-Apr-2008
3 102767 12.6832 01-Apr-2008
4 102766 10.5396 01-Apr-2008
5 102855  9.7833 01-Apr-2008
6 102856 12.1485 01-Apr-2008

BUT, for the below:
temp1$Price
[1] 10.3287 10.3287 12.6832 10.5396 9.7833  12.1485
439500 Levels: -101.2358 -102.622 -2171.1276 -6796.4926 -969.5193 ...
Repurchase Price

What is this line? "439500 Levels: -101.2358 -102.622 -2171.1276 -6796.4926
-969.5193 ... Repurchase Price"??

Many thanks for the help.

It tells you that the Price column got constructed as a factor. One of  
the items in the input data couldn't be coerced to numeric hence  
looked like a character variable and the default stringsAsFactors  
setting of TRUE resulted in classifying that column as factor rather  
than as numeric (or character. Your Date column is surely a factor  
variable.

You may want to look at colClasses in the read.table help page.

The read.zoo function in the zoo package may have better behavior for  
this sort of data input task.

Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1; format=flowed

Hi all,

My apologies if this is a very simple problem.  I am very new to R, 
having worked a lot previously with Excel.  I recently completed a R 
course with John Hoenig which introduced me to R.

My data:

X        Y            Species             Group
0           0            A                        1
.            .             A                        1
.            .             A                        1
.            .             A                        1
.            .             A                        1

99           1             A                        1
0            0             B                        1
.            .             B                        1
.            .             B                        1
.            .             B                        1
99            1            B                        1
etc      etc           etc                      etc
with variable numbers between 0 and 99 and 0 and 1 for each species.  I 
have about 30 different species, each catergorised as 1 of 3 groups.

I want to plot X vs Y for each species onto the same plot, using lines. 
   In other words, I need 30 different lines each plotted between 0 and 
1 on the x axis and 0 and 100 on the y, but
they need to be grouped by the Species, otherwise the lines return from 
100 to 0 at the end of the data from each species.

Any help would be greatly appreciated,

Thanks

Message-ID: <4CB68449.6846.4A2DDE at cryan.stny.rr.com>
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII

R version 2.11.1 on WinXP

How do I get 3 scatterplots with marginal boxplots (from the car 
package) onto a single plot?

I have a data frame called bank

> dim(bank)
[1] 46  5

head(bank)

     x1    x2   x3   x4 pop
1 -0.45 -0.41 1.09 0.45   0

5 -0.10 -0.09 1.56 0.67   0
6 -0.14 -0.07 0.71 0.28   0

library(car)
par(mfrow=c(2,2))

# following lines may be wrapped badly--sorry

with(bank, scatterplot(x1,x2,groups=pop, reg.line=FALSE, 
smooth=FALSE, boxplots="xy", reset.par=FALSE))

with(bank, scatterplot(x1,x3,groups=pop, reg.line=FALSE, 
smooth=FALSE, boxplots="xy", reset.par=FALSE))

with(bank, scatterplot(x1,x4,groups=pop, reg.line=FALSE, 
smooth=FALSE, boxplots="xy", reset.par=FALSE))

I have tried various permutations of the reset.par=  option: all 
three lines FALSE, all 3 lines TRUE, the first TRUE and the others 
FALSE, vice versa, etc. And always I get just one scatterplot showing 
up on the device at a time, and occupying the whole thing.

Thanks.

Message-ID:
	<AANLkTimTKQOMEkru7gB=fkHE1OzuPJM9ZdM3PQjfQk3p at mail.gmail.com>
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8

Dear all,

The help page of stem() says that the width argument gives the desired
width of plot. However, I cannot come up with any idea what this width
stays for. This becomes especially difficult if you run these couple
of examples:

The decimal point is 3 digit(s) to the right of the |

   0 | 00000000000000000000000000000111111222338
   2 | 07
   4 | 5
   6 | 8
   8 | 4
  10 | 5
  12 |
  14 |
  16 | 0

> stem(islands, width = 0)

  The decimal point is 3 digit(s) to the right of the |

   0 | +41
   2 | +2
   4 | +1
   6 | +1
   8 | +1
  10 | +1
  12 |
  14 |
  16 | +1


The ableve examples are  clear, but the below ones are not clear for me:

> stem(islands, width = 10)

  The decimal point is 3 digit(s) to the right of the |

   0 | +31
   2 |
   4 |
   6 |
   8 |
  10 |
  12 |
  14 |
  16 |

Note that for width = 10 there are only 10 leaves while there are 48
observations. In fact, taking width = 1, you got 47 leaves; width = 2,
46  leaves, and so on. Look at width = 20:

> stem(islands, width = 20)

  The decimal point is 3 digit(s) to the right of the |

   0 | 00000000+21
   2 | 07
   4 | 5
   6 | 8
   8 | 4
  10 | 5
  12 |
  14 |
  16 | 0

Now we have 36 leaves.

Could anyone pleaase clarify what is going on here?

Kind regards,
Marcin

I guess "invert" does the trick.
For recording ... example .. 
file <- grep("Repurchase Price",file, fixed = TRUE, invert = TRUE)

Probably not exactly what you want, but some permutations of group and

Hi,
I am trying to use 'GridR' package for the first time, and I'm running 
into a strange error from grid.check:

 > grid.check(gridFun)
Error in exists(add) : invalid first argument

After playing around in recover mode, I see that this because the 
variable 'add' created by grid.check is blank:

Browse[1]> split[[1]][k]
[1] " : "
Browse[1]> add
[1] ""

The problem appears to be that my grid.input.Parameters (shown in full 
below) has components that look like this:
'<anonymous> : <anonymous>'
so when it is split by '<anonymous>' I get add that is "", and this 
gives me an error in 'exists(add)'. I have no real idea what this 
function is doing, but is there a work around for what ever is going on?

My function is quite complicated and calls a lot of local variables 
which are themselves quite intricate, so I don't really know what other

  You should provide raw data to boxplot(), not summary stats.
If you want to input summary stats, there was a post some time ago on that:
http://finzi.psych.upenn.edu/Rhelp10/2010-September/251674.html
<\quoate>

Overwriting $stats did the job for me. I wanted to show the effect of using
different quantile computation methods.

Hello again Max. A correction to my response from yesterday. Things were
better than they seemed.

I thought it over, checked Arellano's panel book and Driscoll and Kraay
(Rev. Econ. Stud. 1998) and finally realized that vcovSCC does what you
want: in fact, despite being born primarily for dealing with cross-sectional
correlation, 'SCC' standard errors are robust to "both contemporaneous and
lagged cross-sectional correlation", of which serial correlation is a
special case (lagged correlation of u_is with u_jt for i=j). 

>From Driscoll and Kraay's simulations, you need T>20-25 at a minimum but N
can be arbitrarily large. The bandwidth of the smoother is your choice, just
as in Newey-West, defaults to a reasonable value etc. etc., please see
?vcovSCC. A nice explanation (in a Stata context) in Hoechle (2007) on the
Stata journal, also here: http://fmwww.bc.edu/repec/bocode/x/xtscc_paper.pdf

I still believe my home-made panel-Newey-West from yesterday would work, but
[[elided Yahoo spam]]
PS a couple of experts on the subject are bc/c-ed, please correct me if I'm
wrong.

Best,
Giovanni

Oggetto: R: [R] robust standard errors for panel data

Hello.
In principle Achim is right, by default vcovHC.plm does things the
"Arellano" way, clustering by group and therefore giving SEs which are
robust to general heteroskedasticity and serial correlation. The problem
with your data, though, is that this estimator is N-consistent, so it is
inappropriate for your setting. The other way round, on the converse
(cluster="time") would yield a T-consistent estimator, robust to
cross-sectional correlation: there's no escape, because the "big" dimension
is always used to get robustness along the "small" one.

Therefore the road to go to have robustness along the "big" dimension is
some sort of nonparametric truncation. So:

** 1st (possible) solution **

In my opinion, you would actually need a panel implementation of Newey-West,
which is not implemented in 'plm' yet. It might well be feasible by applying
vcovHAC{sandwich} to the time-demeaned data but I'm not sure; in this case,
vcovHAC should be applied this way (here: the famous Munnell data, see
example(plm))


> library(plm)
> fm<-log(gsp)~log(pcap)+log(pc)+log(emp)+unemp
> data(Produc)
> ## est. FE model
> femod<-plm(fm, Produc)
> ## extract time-demeaned data
> demy<-pmodel.response(femod, model="within") demX<-model.matrix(femod,

> demod<-lm(demy~demX-1)
> library(sandwich)
> library(lmtest)
> ## apply HAC covariance, e.g., to t-tests coeftest(demod, 
> vcov=vcovHAC)

t test of coefficients:

                Estimate Std. Error t value  Pr(>|t|)    
demXlog(pcap) -0.0261497  0.0485168 -0.5390   0.59005    
demXlog(pc)    0.2920069  0.0496912  5.8764 6.116e-09 ***
demXlog(emp)   0.7681595  0.0677258 11.3422 < 2.2e-16 ***
demXunemp     -0.0052977  0.0018648 -2.8410   0.00461 ** 
---
Signif. codes:  0 '***' 0.001 '**' 0.01 '*' 0.05 '.' 0.1 ' ' 1 

> ## same goes for waldtest(), lht() etc.

but beware, things are probably complicated by the serial correlation
induced by demeaning: see the references in the serial correlation tests
section of the package vignette. Caveat emptor.

** 2nd solution **
Another possible strategy is screening for serial correlation first: again,
see ?pbgtest, ?pdwtest and be aware of all the caveats detailed in the
abovementioned section of the vignette regarding use on FE models.

** 3rd solution **
Another thing you could do (Hendry and friends would say "should" do!) to
get rid of serial correlation is a dynamic FE panel, as the Nickell bias is
of order 1/T and so might well be negligible in your case.

Anyway, thanks for motivating me: I thought we'd provided robust covariances
all over the place, but there was one direction left ;^) Giovanni

My understanding is that it does, in fact. The details say

      Observations may be clustered by '"group"' ('"time"') to account
      for serial (cross-sectional) correlation.

Thus, the default appears to be to account for serial correlation anyway. 
But I'm not an expert in panel-versions of these robust covariances. Yves
and Giovanni might be able to say more.

That information in the "sandwich" package is outdated - prompted by your
email I've just fixed the manual page in the development version.

In principle, everything in "sandwich" is object-oriented now, see
   vignette("sandwich-OOP", package = "sandwich")

However, the methods within "sandwich" are only sensible for cross-sectional
data (vcovHC, sandwich, ...) or time series data (vcovHAC, NeweyWest,
kernHAC, ...). There is not yet explicit support for panel data.

Hi everyone!
I'm going to analyze the attached data set, but I'm not able to add the
correct legend. In other words, I can't see which species is which.

http://r.789695.n4.nabble.com/file/n2994991/test_discriminant_anal_alle.xls
test_discriminant_anal_alle.xls 

This is my commands:

data<- read.table("clipboard",header=TRUE)
library(MASS)
output<-lda(Species~., data)
scores=predict(output, data)$x
plot(scores, col=rainbow(4)[data$Species], asp=1)

Is there a quick way to add a legend to the plot with the corresponding
colours?

It's probably an easy way to do it, but now I've used too many days on
this...

Thank you in advance, 

Arve L.

Hi everybody,
I have a huge  longitude and latitude data. I have used raster package to
get the since of its global distribution. But I wish to display the
information using a few points on the world map.

The data is of the form:
95.2156 0.8312
-65.3236 -3.3851
-65.2364 -3.2696
-65.2349 -3.2679

-74.0017 -1.8623
-71.1195 -3.3562
130.1496 -11.5775


I am thinking of a way of handling that data in such a way that they can be
represented by fewer points when plotted on the map. I have tried using
factor method but didn't get any way.

Thank you for any idea

One more thing if you don't mind.  How to I abstract the individual H and T
?arrays? from f(m,o,l) so as I can combine them with a date/time array and
write to a file?


Sorry if it?s a simple question but I?m completely new to R.

Hello Julia,

I'm afraid your code had multiple problems: variables declared but not
used, incorrect or unnecessary use of the "c" function, out-of-bounds
subscripts and overwriting of result objects.

Rather than point them all out in detail I've modified your code so
that it works (see below). Please study this code and compare it to
your original code. This will help you to understand how to do things
more simply and reliably in R. Don't be discouraged - it takes
practice :)

Note, I didn't know whether you really wanted to retain the resultx
and resultb matrices. I've left them in there just in case.

Michael

Hi:

The essential problem is that after you append items, the result is a list
with possibly unequal lengths. Trying to convert that into a data frame by
the 'usual' methods (do.call(rbind, ...) or ldply() in plyr) didn't work (as
anticipated). One approach is to initialize a maximum size matrix with NAs
and then replace the NAs by the contents of each component of the list. The
following function is far from elegant, but the idea is to output a data
frame by 'NA filling' the shorter vectors in the list and doing the
equivalent of do.call(rbind, list).

 listNAfill <- function(l) {
       # input argument l is a list with numeric component vectors
       lengths <- sapply(l, length)
       m <- matrix(NA, nrow = length(l), ncol = max(lengths))
       for(i in seq_len(length(l))) m[i, ] <- replace(m[i, ], 1:lengths[i],
l[[i]])
       as.data.frame(m)
   }

# From the previous mail:
u <- f(m, o, l)
> u
[[1]]
[1] 0.88 0.72 0.89 1.20 1.40 0.93 1.23 0.86

[[2]]
[1] 7.14 7.14 1.60 7.49 8.14 7.14 7.32
> listNAfill(u)
    V1   V2   V3   V4   V5   V6   V7   V8
1 0.88 0.72 0.89 1.20 1.40 0.93 1.23 0.86
2 7.14 7.14 1.60 7.49 8.14 7.14 7.32   NA

The result of listNAfill is a data frame, so you could cbind or otherwise
attach the date-time info and then use write.table() or some other
appropriate write function.

I'm sure there is some built-in way to NA fill the list components so that
they all have equal length, but I couldn't find it. The rbind.fill()
function from plyr works with data frame inputs, not lists. A quick search
of the archives on 'NA fill' didn't turn up anything I could use, either,
but I didn't look very hard. This seems to work as expected on the simple
example I used.

Better approaches are welcomed...

HTH,
Dennis

Hi All,

I'm running the now almost-to-be upgraded R 2.11.1 on a Intel Mac, and on a
Ubuntu machine, but the problem I see is the same. I noticed the following
behaviour:

407585.91 * 0.8 
[1] 326068.7  -- the right asnwer is 326068.728
round(407585.91 * 0.8, 2)
[1] 326068.7 -- same issue
407585.91/100
[1] 4075.859 -- the right answer is 4075.8591

I have no saved .Rwhatever in my environment, and I never set any option to
have such strange rounding. I'm obviously missing something, and I'd
appreciate suggestions.

Best,

Federico

Some quick ideas...

One very easy way would be to round them all to integer degrees and
remove the duplicates - or even just let the duplicates overwrite each
other in the plot.

A step up from that would be to create a matrix at some resolution
(e.g. 180 x 360 for a 1 degree global grid) and count the number of
points that fall into each matrix cell. Then plot those points with
symbol color or size to represent frequency categories.

If you want to get fancy and look for "natural" spatial clusters of
points in your data there are a number of packages that can help you:
http://cran.r-project.org/web/views/Spatial.html

Hope this helps.
Michael
