Hi Jui-Kun, Are you using the plm package and talking about a pvcm object that is returned by the function of the same name? If so, it is not a "file" but a list of values returned by the function. Maybe this will move your question in the direction of intelligibility. Jim On Sat, Oct 5, 2019 at

Apologies Ana, Of course Rui and Herve (and Richard) are correct here in stating that NA values get 'carried through' when selecting using the "==" operator. To give an illustration of what (I believe) Herve means by "NAs propagating", here's a small 11 x 8 dataframe ("zakaria") posted to R-Help l

What software creates a pvcm file? Is it binary or text? Where did it come from, and what do you expect to get out of it? Your question is too broad for us to be able to help you. When I google pvcm, I find some stuff about vocal cords, and also your Stack Overflow question, which was also closed

This is in part answered by FAQ 7.21. The most important part of that answer is at the bottom where it says that it is usually better to use a list. It may be safer to use a list for your case so that other important variables do not become masked (hidden by the global variables you just created)

Well, OK, but do note that strsplit() is vectorized, so z <- strplit(textlines) ## provides a list of splits for each line would be faster for large files. However, to add to what Jeff said, it is hard for me to see how your approach will not lead to problems. For example, what if there are sev

Think about this. What is the null hypothesis? What is the alternative? What are their distributions? What is the probability that you get a value from the alternative when the null hypothesis holds and vice versa? Then think again about the relevance of your alternative hypothesis. You'll get a be

Yes. But you should be careful. "source" is the best way, especially if you put the symbols in a dedicated environment instead of the global environment to avoid your program getting stomped on by your input file. On October 3, 2019 11:58:51 PM PDT, April Ettington wrote: >Let's say I am pars
