[R] Object-oriented programming in R for Java programmers?

2008-07-27 Thread Werner Wernersen
Hi,

I was wondering if anybody might have a reference for
me: My R code is growing and getting more and more
confusing. Thus, I figure it's time to switch to
object-oriented again. I have done oo programming in
C++ and Java before but the first few tutorial on R oo
were a bit confusing for me. 

Is there any brief tutorial on oo programming in R
especially for people who have done oo in Java or C++
before? That would be really helpful.

Many thanks and have a great Sunday,
  Werner

[R] Threshold vector error correction models

2008-08-12 Thread Werner Wernersen
Hi,

is anyone aware of estimation functions for threshold vector error correction / 
threshold cointegration models?
I didn't find anything for R using RSeek or Google.

Thanks a lot for any pointers,
  Werner

[R] converting coordinates from utm to longitude / latitude

2008-08-19 Thread Werner Wernersen
Hi,

is there a function in R to convert data read with read.shape and which is 
originally in UTM coordinates into longitude / latitude coordinates?
I found the convUL() function from the PBSmapping package but I have no idea 
how I could apply that to the read.shape object.

Many thanks,
  Werner

Re: [R] converting coordinates from utm to longitude / latitude

2008-08-19 Thread Werner Wernersen
It would be nicer to convert directly the entire shapefile object to long/lat 
coordinates but if that is not possible, I will convert the other points to UTM.
Hence, I am playing around with rgdal.

library(rgdal)
SP <- SpatialPoints(cbind(32.29252, -0.3228500), 
  proj4string=CRS("+proj=longlat"))
spTransform(SP, CRS("+proj=utm +zone=36"))


> spTransform(SP, CRS("+proj=utm +zone=36"))
SpatialPoints:
 coords.x1 coords.x2
[1,]  421274.4 -35687.37
Coordinate Reference System (CRS) arguments: +proj=utm +zone=36 +ellps=WGS84 

This result corresponds with what I get when using convUL() but my map of that 
area in UTM coordinates does not extend to the negative.
An external program converts the point to x=420994   y=9964407 which also seems 
correct with respect to the map. Fore sure, I am using the function wrongly 
somehow. Can anyone give me a hint?

That's very much appreciated!

Thanks,
   Werner

Re: [R] converting coordinates from utm to longitude / latitude

2008-08-20 Thread Werner Wernersen
You were absolutely right. If I use south everything is fine. That once again 
proves the danger of intuition. I simply assumed since almost all of the map is 
on the northern half that the projection should use north as well. But that is 
apparently wrong. I couldn't find any description of these definition string 
parameters which could have been informative. Since I am not a geographer 
either, I probably used the wrong terms for searching.

Anyway, now it works.
Thanks so much for the help, Jim!

Best regards,
  Werner

It looks like you are specifying 36S in your external program, and 
(implicitly) 36N in R. Using your SP from above, note the following:

> spTransform(SP, CRS("+proj=utm +zone=36 +north"))
SpatialPoints:
  coords.x1 coords.x2
[1,]  421274.4 -35687.37
Coordinate Reference System (CRS) arguments: +proj=utm +zone=36 
+ellps=WGS84

> spTransform(SP, CRS("+proj=utm +zone=36 +south"))
SpatialPoints:
  coords.x1 coords.x2
[1,]  421274.4   9964313
Coordinate Reference System (CRS) arguments: +proj=utm +zone=36 +south 
+ellps=WGS84

The latter gets in the ballpark of output from your external program. 
I'd speculate that the remaining differences owe to different 
assumptions about e.g. the datum (WGS84 for the R statements given 
above), but I must admit I'm not a geographer.

Hope that helps,
Jim

Re: [R] converting coordinates from utm to longitude / latitude

2008-08-20 Thread Werner Wernersen
After having figured out that I had to download the proj.dll file additionally 
(it would be nice if they actually added a note to their readme) and setting 
the "+south" parameter, the conversion of the shapfile from UTM to long/lat 
with the ogr2ogr utility from gdal worked perfectly. 

Thanks so much Dylan!

Re: [R] converting coordinates from utm to longitude / latitude

2008-08-20 Thread Werner Wernersen
I forgot one more potentially time-saving hint if someone else wants to use 
org2org for such a conversion: 
I found that only GDAL for Windows 1.4.4 works together with the proj.dll file 
which is downloadable from proj.4 but version 1.5 does not.

[R] String search: Return "closest" match

2008-08-26 Thread Werner Wernersen
Hi,

I have to match names where names can be recorded with errors or additions.
Now I am searching for a string search function which returns always the 
"closest" match. E.g. searching for  "Washington" it should return only 
Washington but not Washington, D.C. But it also could be that the list contains 
only "Hamburg" but the record I am searching for is "Hamburg OTM" and then we 
still want to find "Hamburg". Or maybe the list contains "Hamburg" and 
"Hamberg" but we are searching for "Hamburg" and thus only this should this one 
should be returned.

agrep() returns all "close" matches but unfortunately does not return the 
degree of closeness otherwise selection would be easy.
Is there such a function already implemented?

Thanks a million for your help,
  Werner

The Levenshtein distance is a common metric for determining how close two 
string are (in fact, agrep uses this).  There's a function to calculate it 
on the R wiki.
http://wiki.r-project.org/rwiki/doku.php?id=tips:data-strings:levenshtein

You can use this to find the closest string.  (If your set of cities is 
large, it may be quickest to use agrep to narrow the selection first, 
since the pure R implementation of levenshtein is likely to be slow.)

Richie.

[R] Changing font to times for EMF graphics

2009-09-08 Thread Werner Wernersen
Hi,

sorry for the simple question. I am usually able to change the font for PDF 
graphics with pdf.options(family="Times")
However, I have found no way yet to get an emf file with a times font. I also 
tried a detour by using pstoedit to convert a pdf with the desired font to an 
emf but even there the font does not appear as times. 
Is there a way to get a times font in an emf file or is it even a restriction 
of the file format? 

I am on Win XP and R 2.9.1.

Many thanks,
  Werner

[R] weird "vector size cannot be NA/NaN" problem

2009-09-09 Thread Werner Wernersen
Hi,

I have a weird problem with my data but I cannot really locate it and cannot 
make a small example data set do reproduce the problem.
I basically divide one numerical column of a data frame with another. When I 
run describe() on that column, I get
"Error in vector("integer", length) : vector size cannot be NA/NaN"

The two original columns comprise many zero values and I think the particular 
row which causes the problem ends up with an "Inf". 

I fear that other functions might also not be reliable for this data and that I 
have to repair it somehow. It actually happens with many of the variables from 
the various tables which originally are in Stata .dta format and which I import 
with the foreign library.

I am working on windows XP and R 2.9.1

I assume that this description is too vague but if anybody has an idea, I would 
appreciate it.

Thanks so much,
  Werner

Re: [R] weird "vector size cannot be NA/NaN" problem

2009-09-21 Thread Werner Wernersen
Hi,

I have to follow up my own question since this problem is getting quite 
disturbing and I fear that it also causes other functions to malfunction 
without notice. 

It occurs quite quite often when I manipulate the mentioned data set. It 
definitely is caused by the column entries which are Inf (caused by a value/0 
operation) but I cannot reproduce the error. When I do a 
describe(c(5,3,76,4/0)), for example, the last value is Inf but the error is 
not thrown.

But I can save the vector and load it and the error still occurs. Would someone 
be willing to look at that vector and maybe finds out the root of the problem? 
(I'll send the vector by email)

As I said in the earlier email, the data is imported with read.dta of the 
foreign library and the only manipulation I do is dividing the values of two 
columns by each other.

Thanks a million,
  Werner

[R] solving system of equations involving non-linearities

2009-08-06 Thread Werner Wernersen
Hi,

I would appreciate if someone could help me on track with this problem.

I want to compute some parameters from a system of equations given a number of 
sample observations. The system looks like this:

sum_i( A+b_i>0 & A+b_i>C+d_i) = x
sum_i( C+d_i>0 & C+d_i>A+b_i) = y
sum_i( exp(E+f_i) * ( A+b_i>0 & A+b_i>C+d_i) = z

A, C, E are free variables while the other letters represent values given from 
sample observations. The equations involve counts of the number of fulfilled 
conditions and therefore non-linearities. Furthermore, since I have many 
observations i, the equations will unlikely hold exactly and solving will 
require some closeness measure like the sum of the squared deviations or so.

Is there any function in R suitable for solving this problem?

Thanks so much for your help,
  Werner

[R] Insignificant variable improves AIC (multinom)?

2009-06-12 Thread Werner Wernersen

Hi,

I am trying to specify a multinomial logit model using the multinom function 
from the nnet package. Now I add another independent variable and it halves the 
AIC as given by summary(multinom()). But when I call Anova(multinom()) from the 
car package, it tells me that this added variable is insignificant 
(Pr(>Chisq)=0.39). Thus, the improved AIC suggests to keep the variable but the 
Anova suggests to drop it.

I am sure this is due to my lack of understanding of these models but could 
someone help me out with a pointer what my mistake is?

Thanks so much,

Many thanks for the answers, Peter and Krzysztof!

That was very enlightening. I have to read up on model selection. The thought I 
have to get my head around is that the added variable helps explaining the 
observed variability in the data and thus should be retained in the model. But 
since the coefficient is insignificant, I cannot interpret it and if I use this 
equation for predictions then I add a "random" value since I cannot reject that 
the coefficient is actually zero instead of what I estimated.

One just never sees someone presenting regression coefficients which are not 
significant although model selection procedures are often based on the AIC...

Have a good weekend,
  Werner

Re: [R] Sweave does not parse \Sexpr{}

2008-03-19 Thread Werner Wernersen
I am not aware of that I have ever used R2HTML.
However, your suggestion worked! 
Using
Sweave("test.Rnw", syntax="SweaveSyntaxNoweb")
does the trick and now the \Sexpr{} tags are being
parsed again.

Many, many thanks Max! 

All the best,
  Werner

[R] Sweave - print \n ?

2008-03-28 Thread Werner Wernersen
Hi,

this is probably quite stupid but I have no clue
what's wrong. Let's say I write the function
hline <- function() {
  cat("\\hline \n") 
}
and call hline() from within a Sweave chunk. Why is
there no carriage return after the \hline in the
resulting tex file? 

if I call hline() hline() in the chunk, then I get
\hline \hline 
in the tex code without a linebreak in between.

Thanks for any hints,
  Werner

Re: [R] Sweave - print \n ?

2008-03-29 Thread Werner Wernersen
Thanks for your comments!
I think using just one backslash for \n is correct
because otherwise I get a "\n" literally printed out
in the generated .tex code. But what I'm trying to get
is just a line break, thus that the .tex code
continues on a new line from the point where I put the
\n.

All the best,
  Werner

[R] Set of well distinguishable line types?

2008-04-28 Thread Werner Wernersen
Hi,

I am plotting several lines into one plot and would
like them to be distinguishable in print later on as
well. Thus, my question is: Is there a larger set of
such line types available like the sets available for
colors?

Maybe somebody has already put in the work to define
some additional good looking and distinguishable line
types.

Many thanks for your help,
  Werner

Re: [R] Set of well distinguishable line types?

2008-04-29 Thread Werner Wernersen
That's a nice set of line types! I'll use these now.
I thought because there are so many sophisticated
color schemes there  might be some line style schemes
as well. 

Thanks for your help Jim and Richard,

[R] RExcel - foreground server

2008-05-19 Thread Werner Wernersen
Hi,

I have a problem using RExcel with a foreground
server: in RExcel menu as well as in the window called
by "set server" the foreground server option is grayed
out. I have installed the rcom package and also tried
to open R and type require(rcom), as explained on
http://sunsite.univie.ac.at/rcom/excel/index.html, but
it does not help.

What am I missing?

Many thanks,

Or did I miss some switch or so?

Many thanks,

[R] syntax to restrict coefficient in lm()

2008-10-04 Thread Werner Wernersen
Hi,

I would like to estimate an error correction model with lm() but I don't find 
the correct syntax for that.
The model (leaving out the time indices) looks like:

dY = a0 - a1 * (Y - b1*X) + b0*dX + e

the problem is the term - a1 * (Y - b1*X). How can I restrict a1 to be the same 
for both Y and -b1*X ?

Thanks for considering my question!

[R] map + some arbitrary locations' heights: some kind of perspective or contour plot possible?

2008-10-10 Thread Werner Wernersen
Hi,

I thought about this but programming it seems rather difficult so I was 
wondering if a function exists for this in R (as most of the times it turns out 
that it does):
I have a map (shapefile) and for about 50 points on that map (GPS locations) I 
have heights. Is there a function which can make a perspective plot or contour 
plot or the like from this little data? Or maybe some function I can abuse?

Thanks for any suggestions,

[R] factors in dynlm?

Hello,

how can one use factors in dynlm?
I would like to add month dummies to the equation. Or is creating 12 vectors 
the way to do it?

Thanks a lot,

[R] retrieving matrix elements by giving pairs of row AND column numbers?

2008-10-22 Thread Werner Wernersen
Hi,

this is probably a very trivial question but I can't figure out the right terms 
to find the solution in the list archive.

I have a matrix or a data.frame or the like:
> m <- matrix(ncol=3,seq(1,9))
> m
 [,1] [,2] [,3]
[1,]147
[2,]258
[3,]369

and now I wonder if one can provide somehow two vectors, one containing row 
numbers, the other column numbers and thereby retrieve the corresponding 
elements?
E.g., providing the 2 vectors c(1,2,3) and c(1,3,1) should return the matrix 
values c(1,8,3).

I ran a couple of times into this problem and always used some awkward 
transformations to get around it.
But as I know R, there is probably some slick way to do this.

Thanks!!!
  Werner

I thought I've tried this already and that it doesn't work -- madness.
Anyway, Jeff kindly sent me the solution:

m[cbind(c(1,2,3),c(1,3,1))]

does the trick.

E.g., providing the 2 vectors c(1,2,3) and c(1,3,1) should return the matrix 
values c(1,8,3).

I ran a couple of times into this problem and always used some awkward 
transformations to get around it.
But as I know R, there is probably some slick way to do this.

Thanks!!!

Re: [R] retrieving matrix elements by giving pairs of row AND column numbers?

2008-10-22 Thread Werner Wernersen
Many thanks, Greg!

Now I know why I thought that this does not work: I probably tried it with the 
string names of the columns and rows instead of their numbers. The former does 
not work (I think).

Thanks to all again!

Subscript using a 2 column matrix with the rows in the first column and the

[R] Methods for showing statistics over space

2008-10-25 Thread Werner Wernersen
Hi,

I have a question which is a little off-topic but then again, it should stay in 
the boundaries of what can be done with available R functions.

Has anyone pointers to tutorials or the like where one can get inspiration on 
how to visualize some "spatial" statistics?
I want to analyze different statistics of 60 counties in a country. I have a 
shape file for those counties thus I can produce a map. But what are good ways 
to make statistics, e.g. price levels, clear and so that the viewer also can 
make good relative comparisons of counties lying far apart? It should enable a 
clear, quick assessment of the spatial dispersion of the measure. One further 
restriction is, that the outcome has to be black-and-white printable.

The options I have found considered so far are:
- different gray scale colorings of the countries: very crude and gray scale 
might be also difficult in printing
- small bar plots within each county: difficult to compare for counties far 
apart or one has to consider an exact scale
- bubbles with differing sizes: not very intuitive

If anybody has a pointer from the top of his head, that would be wonderful!

Thanks a million and have a good weekend,
  Werner

[R] portable R editor

2009-03-02 Thread Werner Wernersen

Hi,

I have been dreaming about a complete R environment on my USB stick for a long 
time. Now I finally want to realize it but what I am missing is a good, 
portable editor for R which has tabs and syntax highlighting, can execute code, 
has bookmarks and a little project file management facility pretty much like 
Tinn-R has those. I like Tinn-R but it seems like there is only a very old 
version of Tinn-R which works standalone.

Can anyone recommend an adequate editor?

Many thanks and all the best,
  Werner

[R] Connecting from Excel to running R session?

2008-01-30 Thread Werner Wernersen
Hi,

I haven't used RExcel before but from what I've read
in the instructions so far it seems like I cannot
connect from RExcel to an already running R session,
can I?

The background is that usually I use Tinn-R and start
R from there but occasionally I get the sudden desire
to push the data to Excel to do a few things there.

Thanks for any hints,

[R] column name handling and long labels

2008-02-21 Thread Werner Wernersen
Hi,

I have two loosely related questions which could make
my live again a bit easier:

1) Is there a simple way to select a range of columns
in a data frame using column names? 
I am thinking of something like mydf[1,"col4":"col8"]

2) I have a data frame with many columns and they all
have short variable names which is good in most cases
but sometimes it would be nice to have also a longer
descriptive name / label attached to the variable
which could then be used for printing and latex
output. Has anybody come up with a convenient way to
do that?
Right now, I am using always match or merge in case of
row names.

Many thanks,
  Werner

Thank you very much, Henrique! The comment function is
exactly what I was looking for.

Regarding 1) why example was bad: The column names
don't follow an easy pattern but are more like "s8v2",
"s12v3", "s6v1" etc. 

Kind regards,

[R] Custom LaTeX tables

2008-02-26 Thread Werner Wernersen
Hello,

I am very happy that I have Sweave and R to write my
papers. But I still have to do some tables by hand
since I have not found out how I can customize the
latex tables produced by R further (I mainly use
xtable()). Like for instance, I have a table which
needs an extra row every few rows as a group header
and sometimes I want some extra horizontal lines in
the table and also a multicolumn heading.

How do you guys cope with such cases, do you set the
table by hand in the end or have you found a neat way
to deal with this?

Many thanks and regards, 
  Werner

Re: [R] column name handling and long labels

2008-02-27 Thread Werner Wernersen
Somehow, I don't get how the labels of Hmisc work. My
expectation was that if I use the following code and
then the print method, I would get an output where the
headers are replaced by the labels but I get the
normal variable names. How can I get the labels as
headers instead in the printed table?

df <- data.frame(x=seq(1,3),y=seq(4,6))
df <- upData(df, labels=c(x="X1",y="X2"))
print(df2)

Thanks again,

[R] rrp.impute: for what sizes does it work?

2008-03-05 Thread Werner Wernersen
Hi,

I have a survey dataset of about 2 observations
where for 2 factor variables I have about 200 missing
values each. I want to impute these using 10 possibly
explanatory variables which are a mixture of integers
and factors.

Since I was quite intrigued by the concept of rrp I
wanted to use it but it takes ages and terminates with
an error. First time it stopped complaining about too
little memory which I increased then from 1.5 to 2GB. 
Now it terminates after a long time with this:
Error in nn[[i]] : subscript out of bounds

Has anybody encountered this problem before, is it due
to my data? Could you recommend another package for
such imputation? 
I looked at the aregImpute in Hmisc but I don't really
understand what it is doing.

Thanks a lot,
 Werner

Re: [R] rrp.impute: for what sizes does it work?

2008-03-05 Thread Werner Wernersen
rrp is working!

Sorry, it was my mistake... fiddling around to find
out what the problem is I forgot to re-include the
variables which are to be imputed. It seems like this
case is not caught but the algorithm finishes with the
mentioned error.

Anyway, I am still a little fuzzy about imputation and
browsing the web I found no clear recommendations
regarding this topic. Which R function would you
recommend for imputing categorical variables /
factors?

Many thanks,
  Werner

[R] recover masked functions?

2008-03-13 Thread Werner Wernersen
Hi,

I have loaded the packages car, memisc, Hmisc and all
of these implement the function recode. The order in
which the packages are loaded depends on the order I
execute my scripts and thus is not always the same and
the syntax of the recode function changes with the
package.

Is there any way to call specificly the memisc recode
function?
Or maybe it's better to detach all packages first and
then load the required once in each script. Is there a
way to detach all non-standard packages with a single
line of code?

This is my first larger project in R and I see there
is a lot to learn about how to manage the pieces.

Thanks a million,
  Werner

[R] Sweave does not parse \Sexpr{}

2008-03-19 Thread Werner Wernersen
Hi,

has anybody encountered and solved the following
problem?

I continued work now on a different computer where I
have also used Sweave successfully before. I can run
Sweave() and it generates a .tex file. All code chunks
are processed and translated to Latex perfectly fine
but somehow only the \Sexpr{} tags are not parsed. 

This is an example .Rnw:
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{Sweave}
\begin{document}
What is \Sexpr{3*3}?
\end{document}

And this is the resulting .tex:
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{Sweave}
\begin{document}
What is \Sexpr{3*3}?
\end{document}

Can anybody give me a hint what's wrong?

Many thanks,
  Werner

Re: [R] Sweave does not parse \Sexpr{}

2008-03-19 Thread Werner Wernersen
Thanks for your reply Tobias.
I know that the example should work and the entire
Sweave() works fine on the computer in my office. The
issue is that I can't figure out what's wrong with the
setup of my computer here, why it does not parse the
\Sexpr tags (but all code chunks). 

This is my sessionInfo():

locale:

[R] R system on USB: how to enter relative R environment path in Eclipse/StatET?

2008-11-14 Thread Werner Wernersen
Hi,

I am trying to set up a portable R environment and wanted to use Eclipse and 
StatET as the editor. But when setting the R environment in StatET I cannot 
figure out how to enter a relative path. Has anybody succeeded in doing this?
(eclipse and R are both in the common directory \programs on the usb key)

Many thanks for any hints,
  Werner

[R] Set of standard city size symbols as known from atlases?

2008-11-20 Thread Werner Wernersen
Hi,

I am wondering exists a standard set of symbols to mark cities of different 
size classes on a map for R yet? 

In a standard atlas there are symbols like small filled circles, small filled 
circles with an outer circle, same with small squares, etc. which mark capitals 
and different size classes of cities.

I know I can get different symbols with the pch option in plot but the question 
aims at if such more standard symbols of atlases are available.

Many thanks,
  Werner

[R] Linear model with svyglm

2007-09-18 Thread Werner Wernersen
Hi,

I am a bit unclear if svyglm with family=gaussian is
actually a normal linear model including weighting.
The goal is to estimate a normal linear model using
sample inflation weights.

Can anybody illuminate me a bit on this?

Thanks a lot!
  Werner

[R] micEcon: selection(,method="ml") . Predict method?

2007-09-19 Thread Werner Wernersen
Hi,

as I read, maximum likelihood is the better method for
estimating selection-biased models. But I also want to
predict from that model. Is there any predict method
for the selection function when using maximum
likelihood estimation in micEcon? I couldn't find any.

Many thanks,
  Werner
