R multiple for loop - r

I have this loop over the file msp.chr1
for(i in names(msp.chr1[c(7:70)])){
tmp <- rle(msp.chr1[[i]])$lengths
msp.chr1$idx <- rep(1:length(tmp),tmp)
tmp2 <- unlist(by(msp.chr1[msp.chr1[[i]]==1,], list(msp.chr1$idx[msp.chr1[[i]]==1]),function(x){tail(x["epos"],1)-head(x["spos"],1)}))
assign(paste(i, ".chr1", sep=""), as.vector(tmp2))
rm(i); rm(tmp); rm(tmp2)
}
This file is a dataframe with multiple columns:

assign(paste(i, ".chr1", sep=""), as.vector(tmp2))
rm(i); rm(tmp); rm(tmp2)
}
But I actually have 23 files, of names msp.chr1, msp.chr2, ..., msp.chr23.
I want to add another loop on the above, to do that on all files at once.
I tried several things but it is not working...
Basically, every chr1 in my loop (including in the assign) should be replaced by chr1 to chr23.
Can you help?
Thanks,


You can generate the name of the file with paste, and then get the file by its name with get. A better option would be to create these files within a list, then you'd only use the j like df=list[[j]].
for(j in 1:23){
df = get(paste("msp.chr",j,sep=""))
for(i in names(df[c(7:70)])){
tmp <- rle(df[[i]])$lengths
df$idx <- rep(1:length(tmp),tmp)
tmp2 <- unlist(by(df[df[[i]]==1,], list(df$idx[df[[i]]==1]),function(x){tail(x["epos"],1)-head(x["spos"],1)}))
assign(paste(i, ".chr1", sep=""), as.vector(tmp2))
rm(i); rm(tmp); rm(tmp2)
}
}

R: Simulating ERGM model in R then generate adjacency matrix of that model

I use library(ergm) and library(igraph) and generate a ERGM network. But I want the adjacency matrix of that network. I am unable to find any function which can produce that.
library(ergm)
library(igraph)
g.use <- network(16,density=0.1,directed=FALSE)
#
# Starting from this network let's draw 3 realizations
# of a edges and 2-star network
#
g.sim <- simulate(~edges+kstar(2), nsim=3, coef=c(-1.8,0.03),
basis=g.use, control=control.simulate(
MCMC.burnin=1000,
MCMC.interval=100))
#g.sim[[3]]
summary(g.sim)
Is it possible to find the adjacency matrix from g.sim? and how?

EGRM package uses the network package and not the igraph package. You should maintain everythig in network and not load igraph as the two have some conflicting functions with same names.
In your case, you simulate 3 graphs thus you should have 3 adjacency matrices. The code is as below:
library(ergm)
g.use <- network(16,density=0.1,directed=FALSE)
g.sim <- simulate(~edges+kstar(2), nsim=3, coef=c(-1.8,0.03),
basis=g.use, control=control.simulate(
MCMC.burnin=1000,
MCMC.interval=100))
The code you want:
lapply(g.sim, as.matrix)

Select n rows after specific number

I work with a data.frame like this:
Country Date balance_of_payment business_confidence_indicator consumer_confidence_indicator CPI Crisis_IMF
1 Australia 1980-01-01 -0.87 100.215 99.780 25.4 0
2 Australia 1980-04-01 -1.62 100.061 99.746 26.2 0
3 Australia 1980-07-01 -3.70 100.599 100.049 26.6 0
4 Australia 1980-10-01 -3.13 100.597 100.735 27.2 0
5 Australia 1981-01-01 -2.73 101.149 101.016 27.8 0
6 Australia 1981-04-01 -4.11 100.936 100.150 28.4 0
I want to create a summary statistic with describe(dataset)from the HmiscPackage.
I need to differentiate between the timespans n-quarters before Crisis_IMF is 1, the time in which Crisis_IMF is 1 and the state n-quaters after Crisis_IMF is 1.
To select the time in which Crisis_IMF is 1, I did describe(dataset[dataset$Crisis_IMF==1,"balance_of_payment"]).
But I do not know how to make the command over the timespan of n-quarters (e.g. 8) after the event.
Edit:
dataset$Crisis_IMF

There can be more then one crisis period for one country. That e.g. in Australia are Crisis from 1990-01-01 to 1991-04-01 and 2002-01-01 to 2005-01-01. I want to create 3 different describe commands, which show the behaviour of the variable in the above mentioned states.

You haven't provided your full data, so I have to guess that your Crisis_IMF column has an unbroken sequence of zeroes (before the crisis), followed by an unbroken sequence of ones (during which the IMF crisis was considered to be in effect), finally followed by an unbroken sequence of zeroes (after the crisis).
Below I've synthesized my own data for testing. I only synthesized columns Crisis_IMF and balance_of_payment, because those appear to be the only columns relevant to your problem. I used 30 rows, with the first 10 before, the next 10 during, and the last 10 after the crisis. I used sort of a random parabolic arc for the balance_of_payment, but that was entirely random.

df <- data.frame(balance_of_payment=-5+2*seq(-1.5,1.5,len=N)^2+rnorm(N,0,0.2), Crisis_IMF=c(rep(0,N/3),rep(1,N/3),rep(0,N/3)) );

The solution works by first computing the range of indexes during which the crisis was in effect as crisisRange. Then it appends to the data.frame a new column Off_Crisis which captures how many quarters offset from the crisis the row is, using negative numbers for before and positive numbers for after, and assuming each row represents exactly one quarter.
The describe() calls can then be made by subsetting on the Off_Crisis column, getting just the quarters offset from the crisis that you want for each call.
Edit: Whew! That was tough. Pretty sure I got it though:
library('Hmisc');
set.seed(1);
N <- 60;
df <- data.frame(balance_of_payment=rep(-5+2*seq(-1.5,1.5,len=N/2)^2,2)+rnorm(N,0,0.2), Crisis_IMF=c(rep(0,N/6),rep(1,N/6),rep(0,N/3),rep(1,N/6),rep(0,N/6)) );

For this demo I synthesized five periods: 10 rows of non-crisis, 10 rows of crisis (the first), 20 rows of non-crisis, 10 rows of crisis (the second), and 10 rows of non-crisis. The algorithm is the same, namely to compute an Off_Crisis column (which was much more difficult this time!) and then use it to subset the data.frame for each describe() call. Only now, data points from different crises will be combined in the subsets.

3D Array value assignment ruins the structure of array

Here is how to reproduce my problem. I want to create a 3D array
> g=array(0,dim=c(3,31,31))
> dim(g)
[1] 3 31 31
> dim(g[1,,])
[1] 31 31
This is x with dimension 31 by 31
> dim(x)
[1] 31 31
> x

when I try to assign x to the first 'section' of g using
> g[1,,] = x
The array structure of g is totally changed, as now it becomes:
> dim(g)
NULL
> head(g)
[[1]]
[1] NA 0 2 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
[[2]]
[1] 0
[[3]]
[1] 0
[[4]]
[1] 0 NA 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0
[[5]]
[1] 0
[[6]]
[1] 0
This is totally different from what I expected, I am just trying to put a matrix to g[1,,] and dim(g) should still be 3 by 31 by 31, am I wrong? where did I do wrong?

Thanks to Pascal's comments below I've amended my answer, though I've left the dimensionality changed to 31x31x3 for perhaps easier understanding. The problem is the way that the data are converted from your data.frame object before storing in your array. I think by converting first to a matrix you should get what you're looking for:
g <- array(0,dim=c(31,31,3))
m <- matrix(1, 31, 31)
x <- as.data.frame(m)
## Storing x as it is will result in g becoming a list...
#g[,,1] <- x
## Converting the data.frame to a matrix will result in
## g remaining an array:
g[,,1] <- as.matrix(x)

using lappy and elseif command

Using R I have a table, lets say 'locations'
head(locations, n=10)
apillar fender fwheel fdoor compart rdoor rwheel boot
1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1
2 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0
3 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0
4 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0
5 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 0
6 1 0 0 1 0 0 0 0
7 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
8 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0
9 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0
10 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0
now i want to create a new variable "cat" which groups the impacts into category locations.
I have been using if, elseif and else command, but I cannot get it to work.
The command is:
cat <- lapply(locations, function(x) if (apillar|fender|fwheel == 1)print("front") else if (fdoor|compart|rdoor == 1)print("middle") else if(rwheel|boot ==1)print("rear") else print("NA")
such that cat should read rear, middle, middle, middle, front etc

When vectors of TRUE or FALSE statements are involved, I usually prefer not to work with if to avoid loops. I find conditional referencing to be more elegant in this case. See below.
locations <- read.table(header=TRUE, text=
"apillar fender fwheel fdoor compart rdoor rwheel boot
1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1
2 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0
3 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0
4 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0
5 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 0
6 1 0 0 1 0 0 0 0
7 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
8 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0
9 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0
10 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0")
locations$cat <- NA
within(locations,{
cat[apillar|fender|fwheel] <- "front"
cat[fdoor|compart|rdoor] <- "middle"
cat[rwheel|boot] <- "rear"
})
Result:
apillar fender fwheel fdoor compart rdoor rwheel boot cat
1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 rear
2 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 middle
3 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 middle
4 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 front
5 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 front
6 1 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 middle
7 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 <NA>
8 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 middle
9 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 middle
10 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 middle
Cheers!

Corrected your own code:
locations$cat= with(locations, ifelse(apillar|fender|fwheel, "front", ifelse(fdoor|compart|rdoor,"middle",ifelse(rwheel|boot, "rear", "NA"))) )
> locations
apillar fender fwheel fdoor compart rdoor rwheel boot cat
1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 rear
2 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 middle
3 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 middle
4 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 front
5 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 front
6 1 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 front
7 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 NA
8 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 middle
9 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 middle
10 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 middle

How do I change the numbering of the x axis in R to just 2 values?

I want to create a histogram from my data set of the frequency of students who have had broken bones. The values are either 0 or 1.
I.E:
[1] 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0

[75] 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 1
[112] 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 0 1 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 0 0 0
[149] 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0
[186] 0 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 0
[223] 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 1 0 1 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1
[260] 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 1 1 0 0 0 1 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 1 0 0 0
[297] 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 1 0 0 0 0 1
[334] 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0
[371] 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
However the scale on the axis axis of the graph has increments of 0.2. I just want either 0 or 1 as the data is categorical. Would anyone please kindly tell me how to rectify this?

What you need is a combination of assigning the appropriate values to the breaks argument and the xaxp argument in ?hist. Consider:
# this just gives me your data:
my.data <- "
0 0 0 0 0 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0

my.data <- unlist(strsplit(my.data, " "))
my.data <- gsub("\\n", "", my.data)
my.data <- as.numeric(my.data)
hist(my.data, breaks=c(-.5, .5, 1.5), xaxp=c(0,1,1))
breaks is used to define exactly 2 bins, and xaxp is used to change the number and placement of the tick marks on the x axis (for more on how xaxp works, see this excellent answer: R, change the spacing of tick marks on the axis of a plot?) Here is the resulting figure:
On a different note, it is not clear how informative a histogram is for data like this (or perhaps even ever, see: assessing-approximate-distribution-of-data-based-on-a-histogram on stats.SE). You might just was well try:
> table(my.data)
my.data
0 1
296 86
