On my previous message I gave incorrect URL's for the configuration output. They should be www.phineas.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/config.log and www.phineas.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/config.out Also this technique appears to work with Netscape on Solaris, but not IE on Windows. If this is not a sensible way to post diagnostic output let me know and I will post them in a different way. Phineas Campbell pcampb...

Are libname and pkgname parameters for the function .onLoad that need to explicitly stated, or does R populate them when the package is loaded?

Hi, Can you tell me if there are an R package or code for STAR model estimation and test misspecification. If no, how i could do this. Thanks in advance Best regards AJMI Noomen Phd student TUNISIA --------------------------------- [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Dear R People: Please excuse the off topic question, but I know that I'll get a good answer here. If a single author is writing a journal article, should she use "We performed a test" or "I performed a test", please? I had learned to use "we" without regard to the number of authors. Is that true, please? Thanks for the off topic help. Sincerely, Erin

...precision world must be significantly less. One of the arguments for Monte Carlo over the bootstrap is that for a sample size n the bootstrap can return at most 2^n distinct resamples, however for even for relatively small sample sizes there may be no increase in precision in using Monte Carlo.

...What I am trying to do is create a compiled shared library that is able to access the SEXP data type. To do this I wrtie the code in C, run R CMD SHLIB to generate the file MyOut.so. I then build a package with the following function: .First.lib<-function(lib, pkg){ dyn.load(x="/home/phineas/pkg/CallRFromC/R/MyOut.so") library.dynam(chname="MyOut") } The use of hard wired paths is to simplify development When I run R CMD check on the package I get * checking S3 generic/method consistency ...

I wonder whether the functions for skewness and kurtosis in the e1071 package are based on correct formulas. The functions in the package e1071 are: # -------------------------------------------- skewness <- function (x, na.rm = FALSE) { if (na.rm) x <- x[!is.na(x)] sum((x - mean(x))^3)/(length(x) * sd(x)^3) } # -------------------------------------------- and #

Hello, here is another question, how do I generate random walk models in R? Basically, I need an AR(1) model with the phi^1 value equal to 1: Yt = c + Yt-1 + E where E is random white noise. I tried using the arima.sim command: arima.sim(list(ar=c(1)), n = 1000, rand.gen = rnorm) but got this error since the model I am generating is not stationary: Error in arima.sim(list(ar = c(1)), n =

Hi, This is more of a general stat question. I am looking for a easily computable measure of a distance between two empirical distributions. Say I have two samples x and y drawn from X and Y. I want to compute a statistics rho(x,y) which is zero if X = Y and grows as X and Y become less similar. Kullback-Leibler distance is the most "official" choice, however it needs estimation of

Hello, I ran my simulations on the Unix verson of R1.9.1 and the Windows version of R2.0.1 on XP. I kept getting different values for the mean of the same column of the same matrix, and am perplexed. I would appreciate if anyone could help explain the difference? Here is a sample code: set.seed(7293) z1v <- rnorm(1000, mean=68, sd=13) z1v <- (z1v-mean(z1v))/sd(z1v) Using R1.9.1 on Unix,

I'm working my way up the learning curve for R. A method of learning I find very effective is to work through an existing program. Are there any libraries or archives of R programs on the web ? If not, would this be a good idea for the R website ? I hope this is not a FAQ: I have checked as far as I can. Best Wishes, Martin Holt
