Hi, I have a vector representing distances between cities. I have an nxn matrix looking like : Manchester Leeds London Manchester Leeds London I'm trying to get the distances loaded to the matrix but I only have distances in one direction so I need to...

Hi, I have a data frame which looks like : Jan_V Jan_S Feb_V Feb_S 1 100 90 120 110 2 123 88 112 120 3 121 89 134 130 There are around 200 rows. The data frame can have additional month columns i.e. Mar_V...

Hi, If I have a time series that has a normal distribution of error from the mean is there a technique that lets me forecast the next period based a stronger weighting for recent months. I suppose I can work it up but wondered if anything exists. Thanks in advance.

Hi, I'm trying to reshape data and as part of this I have a data object containing a data frame that can have multiple pairs of XY columns and around 400 rows of numbers. I need to run a function for each pair of XY columns. Eventually I'm looking to loop through the frame and extract...

Hi, I'm trying to plot an ellipsoid chart with the code below : library(cluster) x <- rnorm(150) y <- rnorm(150) + 2*x + 10) xy <- unname(cbind(x, y) exy <- ellipsoidhull(xy) maxx <- max(xy[,1])*3 maxy <- max(xy[,2])*3 minx <- min(xy[,1])/3 miny <- min(xy[,2])/3 plot(xy...

Hi, I'm using the code below to create an ellipses chart (using the Cluster package). It works well except the ellipses hull can extend beyond the x&y axis. Is there a way to extend the axis to ensure the ellipse hull doesn't fall outside the axis? I've tried playing with xaxs but it...

Hi, I have a data frame with the following : Sales Team|Appointments #|Closed Sales #|Month For a given month I would like to create the following chart type : Imagine a scatter chart plotting Appointments on the X and and Closed Sales on the Y for each Sales Team. Now imagine an...
