Helene, There must be a typo in that line. Where you have: > chunrate<-c(NA, NA, NA, unrate[4:length(unrate)]-unrate[1:(unrate)-3]) replace it with > chunrate<-c(NA, NA, NA, unrate[4:length(unrate)]-unrate[1:length(unrate)-3]) -----Original Message----- From: Helene Landemore [mailto:landemor@fas.harvard.edu] Sent: Friday, December 26, 2003 1:57 PM To: Jacob Kline Subject: Gov1000: question Hello Jacob, I hope you had a happy hanukah. I have a question regarding the solution to PS7. NOt an emergency though so answer when you can. I tried to create a variable for change in unemployment using your solution: > chunrate<-c(NA, NA, NA, unrate[4:length(unrate)]-unrate[1:(unrate)-3]) Here is what I get: Warning messages: 1: Numerical expression has 570 elements: only the first used in: 1:(unrate) 2: longer object length is not a multiple of shorter object length in: unrate[4:length(unrate)] - unrate[1:(unrate) - 3] What do I do wrong? Am I not using the right data set? Thanks, Helene

Please read this email.

by Jacob M. Kline

Class - My wonderful, high-end, durable ibm laptop has experienced what technical support calls an 'irrevocable hard drive failure.' And while I keep a backup, I will not be able to access it for a few weeks (until a newer, sleeker, repaired version of my high-end machine is delivered to me). So if you had sent me your last homework online, I need you please to resend it as soon as possible. If you have sent me an email in the last two days, you do not need to resend it. Hope you are all well, Jacob

FYI

by Gary King

Hi everyone. Just FYI, Gov 2001, currently scheduled for the Fall, has as a prerequisite Gov 2000, which is offered this Spring. This is a change from the past, in which Gov 2001 started right after 1000. Its also a reasonably good rule of thumb to devote one course every semester to methods of some kind, so I'd check out 2000.

bingo

by Alex Liebman

Hey guys, Hope you all enjoyed gov1000 bingo yesterday. If you filled out a board, please be sure to give it to Eric Lomazoff, the official judge, who will be around until Thursday (you can drop it in his box at Littauer). He'll do all the judging, decide on a winner, and then dispense the cash. By the way, it seems that Jas has offered to sweeten the pot, so be sure to submit those boards! (I'm not sure if the pot is being sweetened with cash or higher grades, but...) Enjoy the break! Alex

Causality and Inference in the Social Sciences

by Jasjeet Singh Sekhon

Hi, A number of you have suggested that I teach a course on the philosophy of the social sciences. If I were to teach a 1000-level course on causality and inference in the social sciences, how many of you would be *really* interested and likely to take it. In order to avoid clutter, please send your responses to me and not the list in general. Cheers, Jas.

IMPORTANT: Question #3 now optional

by Jasjeet Singh Sekhon

Hello All, Given all of the work that people have been doing on Question 2, Question #3 has now been made OPTIONAL. This question was supposed to be due next Wednesday. If you decide to do the question, it will help you on the final but it will no longer be counted as a homework assignment. Cheers, Jas.
