[R] Closing files after using write

2009-12-21 Thread Nick Torenvliet
When I run the following code in a loop I get an error after about 125 times
saying too many open files...


if(inherits(atmpt, "try-error")){
output <- paste(yahooSymbol,"\n",sep="")
write(output, file = "data", append = TRUE, sep = "")
} else {


I've tried various things to close the file after write opens it, and looked
through the RBase docs... but I can't find anything that succesfully closes
the file.

This is obviously trivial... any ideas

That would work... except I've got a DBConnection I don't want to close and
open constantly

Hey all, thanks for your input... assigning the connection and then using
unlink works just fine.


Thanks

[R] accessing members of a data.frame

2009-12-28 Thread Nick Torenvliet
I have the following code

fileList <-list.files(path = ".", pattern = "[^a-z].txt$", all.files =
FALSE, full.names = FALSE, recursive = FALSE, ignore.case = FALSE)
for (x in 1:length(fileList)){
fileLines <- data.frame(read.table(fileList[x]))
print(string)
}

the lines of the file all have the following format...
AB,20091224,156,156,154,154,55,1198

Can I access the comma separated values directly via indexes on fileLines?
e.g. I want to be able to do something like this...

>date <- fileLines[1][2]
>print(date)
"20091224"

I've been trying for a while and I haven't been able to hit the separate
elements.

Thanks everyone... the as.character(fileLines[1][1]) solution worked well...


Factors??? the treatment is so far away from what I know.

Cool though...

[R] error logging

2009-12-28 Thread Nick Torenvliet
Yet another question...

I'm wondering if there is a built in facility to log errors.   I've got this
statement that gives me verbose DBI errors as they come up (to standard
output), but I'd like to trap and log them to a file as I running about
300 sql statements through this particular piece of code and I'd like to
keep the loop going and deal with all the errors once the bulk of it has
been processed.

atmpt <- try(dbGetQuery(con,sql))
options(show.error.messages = TRUE)
if(inherits(atmpt, "try-error")){

}

The R docs aren't structured in the way I'm used to(I will get the hang of
it)... so I'm more than willing to ?theDesiredCommand at the R - prompt...
if you'd lead me in the right direction.

Thanks again!

[R] seg-fault... but on what

2009-12-30 Thread Nick Torenvliet
I got the following after running succesfully through this loop 28 million
times... the loop opens text files in a directory and inserts line by line
into a database...

Possible actions:
1: abort (with core dump, if enabled)
2: normal R exit
3: exit R without saving workspace
4: exit R saving workspace
Selection:


The code is pretty simple...


library(RMySQL)
drv <- dbDriver("MySQL")
con <- dbConnect(drv, host="localhost", dbname="markets", user="root",
pass="embryoni3")
fileList <- list.files(pattern = "[[:upper:]]{2,}", all.files = FALSE,
full.names = FALSE, recursive = FALSE, ignore.case = FALSE)
for (x in 1:length(fileList)){
string <- strsplit(fileList[x], "_", fixed = TRUE)
string <- string[[1]][1]
fileLines <- read.csv(fileList[x],header = FALSE,row.names = NULL )

for ( j in 1:length(fileLines[,1])){
sql <- paste("insert into endOfDayData
(date,market,symbol,open,high,low,close,volume) values ('",
fileLines[j,2],"','",string,"','",as.character(fileLines[j,1]),"','",fileLines[j,3],"','",fileLines[j,4],"','",fileLines[j
,5],"','",fileLines[j,6],"','",fileLines[j,7],"')",sep="")
#print(sql)
atmpt <- try(dbGetQuery(con,sql))
options(show.error.messages = TRUE)
if(inherits(atmpt, "try-error")){

}

}

}

dbDisconnect(con)

My understanding was that in general R liked to put a placekeeper like NA or
NULL in for non-existent elements of defined structures... so I was
surprised to see a seg fault... I'm having trouble interpretting the
error... any clues would be appreciated.

Thanks Duncan, I'll work on reproducibility and possibly getting a core

[R] capturing stdout

2009-12-30 Thread Nick Torenvliet
I'm wondering if anyone knows of a way to capture system messages, for
instance when I do the following:

> system("../DBScripts/getEODData.sh")
.//LSE_20091230.txt:   154.80 kB  207.24
kB/s
./Fundamentals//LSE.txt:   420.58 kB  301.47
kB/s
./Fundamentals//MLSE.txt:3.42 kB   16.20
kB/s
Remote host has closed the connection.
ncftpget /: remote host closed control connection.
>

I'd like to get the stdout from the system call into some memory location
where I can play with it...

Is there a simple way to do this?

[R] Subtracting time series

2010-02-02 Thread Nick Torenvliet
Hi all,

I've got a time series object (xts) called table.  Table contains closing
price and volume for each market day of 2009 on a given equity.

I'd like to get another xts object, say table2, that contains for each
market day holds the close of that day minus the close of the day before and
the volume of that day minus the volume of the day before.

So

table2 <- table[x,] - table[(x-1),]

But I can't quit get the syntax, any help would be appreciated.

Nick

[R] Simple 3D Plot Question

2010-06-15 Thread Nick Torenvliet
Hi all,

I've got a simple 3D plot as follows...

> xx <- seq(-20,20,.5)
> yy <- seq(-20,20,.5)
> zFunc <- function(x,y){3*x^2*y}
> z <- outer(xx,yy,zFunc)
> persp(xx,yy,z,theta=30,phi=30,ticktype="detailed")

Just beautiful!

My question is how do I constrain the plot to only display x^2 <= y <= 1?

Thanks in advance,

Nick

[R] Labels for matplot x axis

2010-06-22 Thread Nick Torenvliet
Hi all, I've been messing with this for a while now..

myStudy is a matrix of word frequency to date of document/document.

As you can see I'm trying to plot the series in the matrix.

I'd like three things --
1- In the plot that gets created the first series is a solid line, the rest
are dashed... how do I make them either one or the other.
2- The legend that comes up has filled boxes with colour as legend keys,
 I'd like to show coloured lines for legend keys instead.
3- The x axis of the plot come up labelled 0-80 with major intervals of
twenty, I'd like to see (@45 degrees) the axis labelled with the rownames
of myStudy, and I'd like to be able to control the interval at which these
major ticks are displayed.

I messed around for an hour or two, and was able to get the rownames on the
x axis using the last command.  I tried using at w/ seq w/ %% but I can't
get the major tick intervals.

Re: [R] Labels for matplot x axis

2010-06-22 Thread Nick Torenvliet
Jim, I just checked your help out and everything works fine except the axis
labels,  I should probably have been more specific.  I had already been able
to draw the rownames() as labels, what I was looking for was the capacity to
define major ticks, and hence draw only every nth rowname on the graph as a
label with a tickmark... is this possible?

Each factor represent a time series on closing prices.

I would like to plot those 154 time series on a single plot...

Any ideas?

[R] Plotting multiple xts/zoo time series on a single plot.

2011-01-22 Thread Nick Torenvliet
So I've got a 154 column wide xts time series object and I want to plot the
154 series on a single plot and have the added benefit of the time series
dates on the x axis.

Any suggestions for plotting functions, maplot works but does not give dates
on the axis and I can't seem to get plot to give me more than one series.

[R] Simple problem with lm/predict

2010-08-14 Thread Nick Torenvliet
Hi all,

I've got an xts time series with monthly OHLC Dow Jones industrial index
data from 1980 to present, the data is in stored in x.

I've done an OLS fit on the data in 1982::1994 and stored it in extrapolate1
(x[,4] contains the closing value for the index).

> t3 <- seq(1980,1994,length = length(x["1980::1994",4]))
> t4<-t3^2
> extrapolate1 <- lines(lm(x["1980::1994",4]~t3+t4)$fit)
> extrapolate1

Call:
lm(formula = x["1980::1994", 4] ~ t3 + t4)

Coefficients:
(Intercept)   t3   t4
  3.161e+07   -3.205e+048.125e+00

The plot comes up with the appropriate line fit for 1980::1994, so I can
safely say the model/fit is correct.

I want to plot the predicted response of extrapolate into 1995 and beyond
and after much googling have got about this close --

> new.t <- seq(1995,len=2*12,by = 1/12)
> new.dat <- data.frame(Time = new.t, Seas = rep(1:12,2))

This is straight from the net, the trouble is with how new.dat is set up but

[R] Help Choosing Start Values for nls

2010-08-21 Thread Nick Torenvliet
Hi all,

I'm trying to do a simple curve fit and coming up with some interesting
results I would like to get comment on.
So as shown below, tsR is my explanatory and response is... well... my
response.

This same data in gnumeric gets fitted with the curve "response=10078.4 +
1358.67 * ln (explanatory - 2009.07)

So I'm using nls with the start values supplied by gnumeric.

in "First Time Through" I'm very close to the values gnumeric found, I get
NaNs and Infinities.

In "Second Time Through" I use the "exact" values given by gnumeric... and
it all come together fine.

The difference between start value in First and Second time through is
practically insignificant and gnumeric was able to fit this without effort.

At this rate R is basically useless to me -- what can I change here to set R
up better for this non-linear fit?

What a shame... such a beautiful curve :-)

[R] Error w tokenizer .jcall unless run as root

2011-02-02 Thread Nick Torenvliet
Hi all,

I've got an R script that loads the following libraries

library(rJava)
library(RWeka)
library(tm)

At some when I try to run the tm tokenizer as

MyTokenizer <- function(x) NGramTokenizer(x, Weka_control(min = 1, max = 4))
ECONOMIST_TDM <-
TermDocumentMatrix(ECONOMIST_CORPUS,control=list(tokenize=MyTokenizer))

I get the following error unless I'm running R as root...

Error in .jcall("RWekaInterfaces", "[S", "tokenize", .jcast(tokenizer,  :
  RcallMethod: cannot determine object class
> ECONOMIST_TDM <-
TermDocumentMatrix(ECONOMIST_CORPUS,control=list(tokenize=MyTokenizer))
Error in .jcall("RWekaInterfaces", "[S", "tokenize", .jcast(tokenizer,  :
  RcallMethod: cannot determine object class

I first noticed this problem in the summer, and just left it thinking I
would stumble across a solution.
I do realize this means I need to set permissions somewhere properly -- but
I haven't stumbled across the affected file and even if I don't know what
the proper permisions/owner/group should be.

Does anyone know what I need to do?  I'm running R on Lucid Lynx.

Regards,

Nick

[R] xyplot text sizing

2011-02-13 Thread Nick Torenvliet
Hi all,

I'm using

xyplot(closingDataXTS)

To get a page with any number of seperate plots on it (as many plots as
columns in closingDataXTS).

Each plot is named according to colnames(closingDataXTS).

I would like to control the size of the text each plot name appears in.

I've seen a number of solutions for similar problems that point me in the
direction of trellis.par.get and trellis.par.set but have been unable to put
anything together that works.

Any ideas for me?
