r - Function for querying a data.table -


i have data.table called prices has 3 columns: ticker, date , price. have run

setkey(prices,ticker,date)

if code, works

prices[list("msft",as.date("2013-01-15")]

returning row msft in 2013-01-15 however, if write function

getprice <- function(ticker,date) {   prices[list(ticker,date)] }

it returns whole data.table suspect has scoping in parameter, can't work. how query data.table if don't know parameters in advance?

your problem variable names in function. change them e.g. x , y (so not same column names in data.table) , work. you're doing constructing data.table of ticker , date columns , joining that, recovering original data.

another (more robust) option smth in function:

getprice <- function(ticker,date) {   tmp = list(ticker, date)   prices[tmp] }

java - Multi-Label Document Classification -

i have database in store data based upon following 3 fields: id, text, {labels}. note each text has been assigned more 1 label \ tag \ class. want build model (weka \ rapidminer \ mahout) able recommend \ classify bunch of labels \ tags \ classes given text. i have heard svm , naive bayes classifier, not sure whether support multi-label classification or not. guides me right direction more welcome! the basic multilabel classification method one-vs.-the-rest (ovr), called binary relevance (br). basic idea take off-the-shelf binary classifier, such naive bayes or svm, create k instances of solve k independent classification problems. in python-like pseudocode: for each class k: learner = svm(settings) # example labels = [class_of(x) == k x in samples] learner.learn(samples, labels) then @ prediction time, run each of binary classifiers on sample , collect labels predict positive. (both training , prediction can done in parallel, since problems assumed ...
