R: Given column name in a Data Frame, Get the Index
Had a mental block today trying to figure out how to get the indices of columns in a data frame given their names. Simple task but difficult to search Google for an answer. Thanks to jashapiro, Matt, and Vince for giving me a heads up on the which() fu...

Summarize Missing Data for all Variables in a Data Frame in R
Something like this probably already exists in an R package somewhere out there, but I needed a function to summarize how much missing data I have in each variable of a data frame in R. Pass a data frame to this function and for each variable it'll give you the number of missing values, the total N, and the...

R function for extracting F-test P-value from linear model object
I thought it would be trivial to extract the p-value on the F-test of a linear regression model (testing the null hypothesis R²=0). If I fit the linear model: fit<-lm(y~x1+x2), I can't seem to find it in names(fit) or summary(fit). But summary(fit)$fstatistic does give you the F statistic, and both degrees of freedom, so I wrote this function to...
Webinar on Revolution R Enterprise
R evangelist David Smith, marketing VP at Revolution R, will be giving a webinar showing off some of the finer features of Revolution R Enterprise - an integrated development environment (IDE) for R that has an enhanced script editor with syntax highli...
Using the "Divide by 4 Rule" to Interpret Logistic Regression Coefficients
I was recently reading a bit about logistic regression in a book on hierarchical/multilevel modeling when I first learned about the "divide by 4 rule" for quickly interpreting coefficients in a logistic regression model in terms of the predicted probabilities of the outcome. The idea is pretty simple. The logistic curve (predicted probabilities) is steepest at the center where...
Syntax Highlighting R Code, Revisited
A few months ago I showed you how to syntax-highlight R code using Github Gists for displaying R code on your blog or other online medium. The idea's really simple if you use blogger - head over to gist.github.com, paste in your R code, create a public "gist", hit "embed", then copy the javascript onto your blog. However, if...
