Thank you for your advice, but I didn't manage to make it work... I tried carichi.annui <- data.frame(anno,loadPTG,loadPO4,loadNT,loadNH4,loadNO3,loadBOD5,loadSiO2)
And I got this error message: Error in data.frame(anno, loadPTG, loadPO4, loadNT, loadNH4, loadNO3, : the arguments have a different numer of rows: 4, 1 If I do sapply(carichi.annui, class) I get: anno loadPTG loadPO4 loadNT loadNH4 loadNO3 loadBOD5 loadSiO2 "list" "list" "list" "list" "list" "list" "list" "list" I thought that the function as.vector() could turn a list of numbers into a vector... was I wrong? ----Messaggio originale---- Da: rip...@stats.ox.ac.uk Data: 20.02.2009 12.40 A: "lauramorg...@bluewin.ch"<lauramorg...@bluewin.ch> Copia: <r-help@r-project.org> Oggetto: Re: [R] write.table On Fri, 20 Feb 2009, lauramorg...@bluewin.ch wrote: > Sorry, I'm using R 2.8.1 on Microsoft Windows XP professional 2002 Service > Pack 2. > The error I get is > Error in write.table(x, file, nrow(x), p, rnames, sep, eol, >> na, dec, as.integer(quote), : > 'list' type not implemented in 'EncodeElement' > The problem is that I can' t manage to save the dataframe... > With other dataframe I usually have no problems!!! What does sapply(carichi.annui, class) tell you? It would be better to use carichi.annui <- data.frame(anno,loadPTG,loadPO4,loadNT,loadNH4,loadNO3,loadBOD5,loadSiO2) as you don't need an intermediate matrix. > >> >> Hello, >> I tried to turn lists into vectors and then bind them >> together in order to create a dataframe but if, after this, I >> try to use the function write.table I get the following error message: >> Error in write.table(x, file, nrow(x), p, rnames, sep, eol, >> na, dec, as.integer(quote), : >> 'list' type not implemented in 'EncodeElement' >> >> Here is what I've done: >> as.vector(c(unique(portate$Anno)))->anno >> as.vector(loadListPO4)->loadPO4 >> as.vector(loadListPTG)->loadPTG >> as.vector(loadListNT)->loadNT >> as.vector(loadListNH4)->loadNH4 >> as.vector(loadListNO3)->loadNO3 >> as.vector(loadListBOD5)->loadBOD5 >> as.vector(loadListSiO2)->loadSiO2 >> cbind(anno,loadPTG,loadPO4,loadNT,loadNH4,loadNO3,loadBOD5,loa >> dSiO2)->carichi >> as.data.frame(carichi)->carichi.annui >> >> #if I type >> carichi.annui >> #I get >> anno loadPTG loadPO4 loadNT loadNH4 loadNO3 loadBOD5 loadSiO2 >> 1 2002 3.399518 1.382235 390.6959 22.07992 256.2244 >> 492.9177 150.6505 >> 2 2003 1.559606 0.6271712 202.9181 6.198592 145.9498 >> 63.07578 68.08632 >> 3 2004 2.363862 0.9493779 292.0841 12.21207 200.2545 >> 141.0533 105.2409 >> 4 2005 1.655554 0.6570313 217.2192 6.58045 155.7393 >> 66.44154 73.0394 >> 5 2006 1.827174 0.7290634 235.7914 7.858396 166.8327 >> 79.2474 80.92576 >> 6 2007 1.742629 0.6891045 228.0253 7.130082 162.6692 >> 71.91434 77.22507 >> 7 2008 0.8382246 0.3612176 110.9079 2.024197 86.60459 >> 25.46127 32.9733 >> >> #which looks lika a data frame >> #And if I type >> is.data.frame(carichi.annui) >> # I get this: >> [1] TRUE >> >> #but if I try >> write.table(carichi.annui, "carichi.annui.lav") >> #It doesn't work?!?!?! >> Does someone have an explanation? >> Thanks a lot for any help!! >> Laura >> > Laura, > > What do you mean by "It doesn't work"?
