Re: [R] Keep only first date from consecutive dates

With a data.frame sorted by id, with ties broken by date, as in your example, you can select rows that are either the start of a new id group or the start of run of consecutive dates with: > w <- c(TRUE, diff(uci$date)>1) | c(TRUE, diff(uci$id)!=0) > which(w) [1] 1 4 5 7 > uci[w,] id date

Re: [R] Survival analysis: ERROR: Time and status are different lengths

Hi Terry, I already suspected it had something to do with missing values in one of the covariates. I couldn't get the na.action="na.exclude" to work (perhaps this is because I am relatively unexperienced with R), but I managed to solve the problem by using the following command with "complete.case

[R] RPostgreSQL (or even ANSI DBI) parameterized query with IN (...)

Using PostgreSQL's parameterized query form, this works: R> dbSendQuery(CONN, "SELECT * FROM foo WHERE val = $1 OR val = $2", list("bar", "baz")) ... and becomes: SELECT * FROM foo WHERE val = 'bar' OR val = 'baz'; I cannot figure out, however, if something like this is possible with RPostgreSQL

Re: [R] Ordering Filenames stored in list or vector

Mario, I am certain there are more elegant solutions. This is an effort to make the process clear by dividing out each transformation used into separate lines. ## Start of code library(stringi) # This is written in C and C++ (ICU library), is fast, and is well documented. filenames <- c("Q_Read

Re: [R] Question Regarding a nested for loop in R

I'll hope this isn't homework (R-help has a "don't do people's homework for them" convention), and make a few suggestions. The inner loop is not needed. For example, you can replace for (i in 1:15 ) { Inv1Outcome[i] = if (random[i] <= .25){Inv1Returns[1]} else if (random[i] > .25 & random[i]

Try reading and following the Help file, ?rbind.data.frame. You are inventing your own syntax, not using R's. Incidentally, growing the frames as you do is generally a bad idea. Search r-help archives for why. Cheers, Bert Bert Gunter "Data is not information. Information is not knowledge. And

This will work, although depending on what you are trying to do, there may be a better way: > DF <- data.frame(a=rnorm(10),b=runif(10),ID=0) > for (i in 1:10){ + DF <- rbind(DF, data.frame(a=rnorm(10),b=runif(10),ID=i))} > str(DF) 'data.frame': 110 obs. of 3 variables: $ a : num 0.792 0.141

Hi Ryan, I don't think you need the outer loop, loops are worth avoiding if you can possibly can because they are inefficient, have a look at this dplyr tutorial (https://cran.rstudio.com/web/packages/dplyr/vignettes/introduction.html) which should be able to achieve what your outer loop is cu
