Title: Looking for Someone Skilled in R
Post by: sal002 on April 23, 2013, 11:39:30 AM
I am trying to alter an R script that does sentiment analysis to store the summarized results in MySQL (located here - https://sites.google.com/site/miningtwitter/questions/sentiment/sentiment).  Anyone willing to help out for a few satoshis?

Great link! I'll have to try package:sentiment and mine a few books.

What help do you need, exactly?

Storing the results in MySQL (using http://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/RMySQL/index.html).  Probably real simple, just having an issue with the structure of the data into a table).

Sorry, never needed to use MySQL and R - I just use dataframes, lists, matrices and multidimensional arrays. I guess you're using MySQL so you can query it using other software?

Exactly right.  Probably real simple for someone that has used the MysQl package before.  Issue is the data structure - just not quite sure how to figure it out.  Instead of plotting (as that article does), I want to store the data.

I guess you've used R before and that saving it as a .csv or a tab delimited file is no help to you?

Just a little bit - but would prefer MySQL as I can access it from another system.

Well, I'm probably no use to you then, sorry. Maybe try the R mailing list (http://www.r-project.org/mail.html) or stackexchange, or if you really get stuck there might be some way to do whatever MySQL queries you wanted from within R, or calling by calling R scripts if you need it to be interactive or running on a cronjob or something.

Good luck!
