R_note -- The Exploration of Statistical Software R ( έp n R ` I)
Introduction Analyzing time series data of all sorts is a fundamental business analytics task to which the R language is beautifully suited. In addition to the time series functions built into base stats library there are dozens of R packages devoted to time series http://crantastic.org/task_views/TimeSeries . Some packages help with basic tasks such as creating date data types, others offer specialized functions for financial applications.
Extracting Time Series from Large Data Sets
What I would like is a nice list of all of credible sources on the Internet for finding data to use with R projects. I know that this is a crazy idea, not well formulated (what are data after all) and loaded with absurd computational and theoretical challenges. (Why can't I just google "data R" and get what I want?) So, what can I do? As many people are also out there doing, I can begin to make lists (in many cases lists of lists) on a platform that is stable enough to survive and grow, and perhaps encourage others to help with the effort.

Mining Twitter for Airline Consumer Sentiment
Airlines, Consumers, and Twitter Anyone who travels regularly recognizes that airlines struggle to deliver a consistent, positive customer experience. Through extensive interview and survey work, the American Customer Satisfaction Index ( http://theacsi.org/ ) quantifies this impression. As a group, airlines falls at the bottom of their industry rankings, below the Post Office and insurance companies: Meanwhile, the immediacy and accessibility of Twitter provides a real-time glimpse into consumer's frustration: This tutorial demonstrates how to use R to collect tweets and apply a (very) naive algorithm to estimate their emotional sentiment.Description These functions provide the base mechanisms for defining new functions in the R language. Usage function( arglist ) expr return(value)
function {base}
Description This function creates data frames, tightly coupled collections of variables which share many of the properties of matrices and of lists, used as the fundamental data structure by most of R 's modeling software. Usage
data.frame {base}

R & SPlus XML Parsers
unnamed pearl
Abstract The idea here is to provide simple examples of how to get started with processing XML in R using some reasonably straightforward "flat" XML files and not worrying about efficiency. Here is an example of a simple file in XML containing grades for students for three different tests. <?xml version="1.0" ?><TABLE><GRADES><STUDENT> Fred </STUDENT><TEST1> 66 </TEST1><TEST2> 80 </TEST2><FINAL> 70 </FINAL></GRADES><GRADES><STUDENT> Wilma </STUDENT><TEST1> 97 </TEST1><TEST2> 91 </TEST2><FINAL> 98 </FINAL></GRADES></TABLE>A Short Introduction to the XML package for R
To parse an XML document, you can use xmlInternalTreeParse() or xmlTreeParse() (with useInternalNodes specified as TRUE or FALSE ) or xmlEventParse() . If you are dealing with HTML content which is frequently malformed (i.e. nodes not terminated, attributes not quoted, etc.), you can use htmlTreeParse() . You can give these functions the name of a file, a URL (HTTP or FTP) or XML text that you have previously created or read from a file. If you are working with small to moderately sized XML files, it is easiest to use xmlInternalTreeParse() to first read the XML tree into memory.Re: [R] Need help extracting info from XML file using XML package from Duncan Temple Lang on 2009-03-03 (R help archive)
