Functions in taRifx (1.0.6.2)

Iteratively (recursively) apply a function to its own output

Produces a nice summary table by groupings

Returns whether a vector is homogenous or not

Loads all readable files in a directory into a list, with names according to the filenames

Categorize a vector based on a data.frame with two columns, the low and high end points of each category.

sort.data.frame

Sort a data.frame

Converts all factors in a data.frame to character.

Split data over columns

Kludgy horizontal histogram function (really should just fix the lattice equivalent)

Convenience functions to return the last/first element of a vector

Repeat a vector until it matches the length of another vector

Return a vector of the days of the week, in order

Recursively delete entries containing `what` before entry pointed to by `which`

Return a vector containing the locations of the middle of every group in a vector, either as a numerical index or as a TRUE/FALSE boolean.

Bar plot divided by three groupings

japply: Judiciously sapply to only selected columns

Shifts a vector's elements left or right by N elements.

Figure out how many "sides" a formula has See also SimonO101's answer at http://stackoverflow.com/a/16376939/636656

Obtain the fractional part of a numeric

Rounds a numeric vector to arbitrary values (not just decimal values as with round) or to a specified number of significant digits.

Exports a latex table with the first N columns being multirow grouping variables.

Various panel functions

autoplot.microbenchmark

Autoplot method for microbenchmark objects: Prettier graphs for microbenchmark using ggplot2

Classify values into groups based on which numbers they're between

unfactor.data.frame

Convert all factors to character

Function to prettify the output of another function using a `var.labels` attribute This is particularly useful in combination with read.dta et al.

xtable.CrossTable

Add in methods to handle CrossTable objects in xtable

Produces the output of an lm object as it appears in the R console when you type summary(lmobject)

write.sanitized.csv

Outputs a sanitized CSV file for fussy input systems e.g. ArcGIS and Mechanical Turk Performs three cleansing actions: converts text to latin1 encoding, eliminates funny characters in column names, and writes a CSV without the leading row.names column

Convert character vector to numeric, ignoring irrelevant characters.

Returns number of distinct observations in each column of a data frame or in a vector

as.data.frame.by

Convert the results of by() to a data.frame.

Plot a title page containing the given text. Good for breaking up sections of plot PDFs.

Method to merge two lists Matches names of each list element and combines any sub-elements

Add in methods to handle LME objects in xtable

reshapeasy: Easier reshaping from "wide" to "long" and back again

Shortcut functions to return the odd and even values from a vector

Return vector of equal length containing all TRUEs

Stack lists into data.frames

Table function which lists NA entries by default This is a simple wrapper to change defaults from the base R table()

Functions to manipulate data frames

Coerces a by object into a matrix (only tested on a 2d objects).

Create a vector that starts with a given number and widens out
