>From time to time people request symbolic computations beyond what D() and deriv() etc can provide. A brief look at the internet shows that there are many more or less developed computer algebra packages freely available. Therefore, I wondered if it would be an idea to try to 'integrate' one of these packages in R, which I guess can be done in more or less elegant ways... I do not know

Hi, I am trying to use the mimR Package. According to its help pages it needs the RDCOMClient package to run. When I try to evaluate a model I get > m.sat<-mim("..",data=gm.dat) Error in mim.cmd("clear; clear output") : couldn't find function "COMCreate" > m2.sat<-emfit(m.sat) Error in toMIM(mim$data) : Object "m.sat" not found >

Platform: Windows Version: 1.6.2 When first called, socketConnection gives an error. On subsequent calls it performs correctly. Thus the first call has the effect of "priming" the connection. Eg > socketConnection(port=50) Error in socketConnection(port = 50) : unable to open connection In addition: Warning message: localhost:50 cannot be opened > MIM <-

I am getting several errors about Windows only packages when I use task views. Is this suppose to be a Windows-centric utility? Also, I am sure there must be a simple way to tell which packages are in a view, but I haven't found it. If there isn't, it would be nice to have.

People, I'm researching some Bayesian statistic topics and in the midle of my study i found a very simple problem and i'm trying to find a simple package to solve this type of equations: Lets say that i need to compute beta values for the beta distribution and i now for example: E(teta)=a/(a+b) = 0,5 Var(teta)=ab/((a+b)^2(a+b+1))=0.05 So if i want to solve this to non-linear system to

R-devel: I am encountering a consistency issue using socketConnection and readBin with *non-blocking* connections on Unix and Windows XP (no Vista to test). I am a bit confused by the behavior of *non-blocking* connections under Windows specifically. When calling readBin on a non-blocking connection when there is no data to read on the socket, the connection under Unix will return a vector of

BACKGROUND: While troubleshooting random, occasionally occurring, errors from parallel::makePSOCKcluster("localhost", port = 11000); Error in socketConnection("localhost", port = port, server = TRUE, blocking = TRUE, : cannot open the connection I had another look at parallel:::newPSOCKnode(), which is used internally to set up each background worker. It is designed to,

A solution is to have parallel:::.slaveRSOCK() attempt to connect multiple times before failing, e.g. makeSOCKmaster <- function(master, port, timeout, useXDR, maxTries = 10L, interval = 1.0) { port <- as.integer(port) for (i in seq_len(maxTries)) { con <- tryCatch({ socketConnection(master, port = port, blocking = TRUE,

(Bcc: CRAN) This is a proposal helping CRAN and alike as well as individual developers to avoid stray R processes being left behind that might be produced when an example or a package test fails to set up a parallel::makeCluster(). ISSUE If a package test sets up a PSOCK cluster and then the master process dies for one reason or the other, the PSOCK worker processes will remain running for 30

Great. For the record of this thread, I've submitted patch PR17391 (https://bugs.r-project.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=17391). I've patched it against the latest R-devel on the SVN, passes 'make check-all', and I've verified it works with the above tests. /Henrik On Fri, Mar 9, 2018 at 4:37 AM, <luke-tierney at uiowa.edu> wrote: > I'm happy to look at a

Hi when I use con1 <- socketConnection(...) in R and want to send text from another application written in Delphi to R, do I just have to send the text or do I have to implement more control characters and so on? Is con1 <- socketConnection(port=6011, server=TRUE) writeLines("plot(rnorm(100))", con1) just sending the text in "plot(rnorm(100))" to the socket or is

Dear All I have sucessfully created cluster of four nodes using localhost in my local machine by executing the following command > cl<-makePSOCKcluster(c(rep("localhost",4)),outfile='',homogeneous=FALSE,port=11001) starting worker pid=4271 on localhost:11001 at 12:12:26.164 starting worker pid=4280 on localhost:11001 at 12:12:26.309 starting worker pid=4289 on

Hello, I am using function makePSOCKcluster to make parallel computation on 3 EC2 Amazon machines. I have a passwordless between machines and ssh is correct. In the R 2.15.1 release this function works correctly. Installing R 3.0.1 on my EC2 machines makePSOCKcluster does not produce the cluster. If I run the function with outfile="" option, I obtain this message Error in

Hi, I am using caretNWS on a RHEL x86_64 system and I am getting an error message that is nearly identical to the one occuring in http://www.r-project.org/nosvn/R.check/r-release-macosx-ix86/caretNWS-00check.txt Error in socketConnection(serverHost, port = port, open = "a+b", blocking = TRUE) : unable to open connection Calls: system.time ... .local -> tryCatch -> tryCatchList

Hi all, The call parallel::makeCluster(1L) hangs infinitely on my MacOS machine which seems to be already reported by some people (e.g., https://stat.ethz.ch/pipermail/r-devel/2018-February/075565.html). However, the solutions posted on SO, GH or R-devel do not work in my case. So far, I unsuccessfully tested ? 1. Couple of reboots 2. Adding 192.0.0.1 to /etc/hosts 3. Using R.app

Dear list, i have some problems using the snow package to create a SOCK cluster. The errors just occour irregularly but it seems to me that they occour when I try to create more than one cluster on the same machine via different R instances started via submitting LSF jobs to a cluster. Does anyone have an idea how to solve this or where to start digging for solutions? The error messages

Dear R Gurus, for some purpose i have to use a socket connection, where i have to read and write both text and binary data (each binary data package will be preceeded by a header line). When experimenting, i encountered some problems (with R-2.0.1 under different Linuxes (SuSE and Gentoo)). Since the default mode for socket connections is non-blocking, i first tried socketSelect() in order to

Hi, I am attempting to implement a mixed (windows/linux) snow sockets parallelism in R, but am running into difficulties similar to a post made Aug 31, 2006 under the same subject heading. I feel like I may be one or two non-obvious steps away from getting it all working, but I'm stuck. If anyone can shed some light on this (I believe Prof. Tierney stated that he has successfully run a
