similar to: Is it possible to control R with S+?

This is not a criticism. I'm just curious. Is there an effort to keep R comparable to S+? Or are the two languages diverging? I am doing what probably legions have done before me, and legions will after me...using R on examples from text books written with S+ code. Most of the time everything appears to be equivalent. And then there are amazing divergences in commands. For instance: S:

R-wizards I have successfully run with S+ a statistical power calculation for non-normal distributions as presented in M. Crawley?s new book.? When I tried the newest version of R on the same code, the $ parse statement doesn't seem to retrieve the appropriate number from a table. Note that some of the cosmetic differences in the two tables have to be dealt with by the parser. Any ideas

Hi, Can anyone please advise if there is a neat way to 'share' libraries of (previously developed) S+ code with R? Specifically, within S+ I can use the attach(what = "<Chapter Directory>", pos = 2) command, to retrieve previously developed functions and variables to position 2 in the search list. [Some may be intentionally masked by what's in the current working

I'm just reading Modern Applied Statistics with S, 4th Ed., Venables and Ribley I'm typing in their examples in both R and S+. I need insight in the difference in the class() statement shown in Chap. 2.

Hi, I've got the R library "mgcv" for GAM written by Simon Wood which works well in many instances. However, over the years I got attached to the S+ implementation of GAM which allows loess smoothing in more than 1 dimension as well as spline smoothing. Has anyone ported the S+ GAM library to R?

I would like to know if there is an easy way to transfer all the data from a S+ directory (".Data" or "_data") to an R image? I would like to transfer all the functions and all the data sets (data frames, vectors, lists, etc.). I'm working under Windows NT and am using S+ 3.3 for Windows.

Dear [R] members, Can you provide me with the exact URL where can i find ForTran Compilers [ free / commercial / trial / shareware / evaluation copy ] for WINDOWS [ Preferable ] or DOS ; and some source codes of different kind of Statistical calculation making programs made / coded in ForTran ? And how can i use a program (coded in ForTran) in R console ? Can i do it in S+

Your surest bet is to look into S+, not R, since the former does 'integrate' with Microsoft applications. To what extent, I don' know. This is a desirable feature (IMO) and a reason to use S+ rather then R (already discussed in different thread).

To R-wizards: Thank you for your quick an insightful responses. I now have R running a translated version of S+ code for power calculations for non-normal data. This is from the Michael Crawley's new book Statistical Computing--An Introduction to Data Analysis using S-Plus. Peter Dalgaard corrected me on the issue of the $ operator not being a parser. It sure looked like an advanced Regex

A very basic question: How can I make R read some S+ files that I had originally.

Hi, I guess the answer is negative but I thought I would ask just the same: is it possible to use any of the S+ toolboxes (ARCH and wavelets, more particularly) with R? Thanks, Olivier Lefevre Union Bank of Switzerland New York, NY PS: Please cc me any reply as I am not on the list (at least not yet).

Hello All: In R 1.2.0, one can easily change characters in a string using, for example, the following command, gsub("-"," ",c("1-7-1997","12-21-1997")) [1] "1 7 1997" "12 21 1997" Is there a similar command with S+ 2000?

Dear list members, I switched from Splus to R a few years ago and so far found no functionality missing. However, I am struggling to find the equivalent align() function for time series. I did find some reduced functionality such as alignDailySeries in package:fCalendar but the full capability of aligning two timeseries seems to be missing. Could this be true ? I am sure there must be a need

Well, R is not S+ nor SPSS. Although it is sort of similar to S+ in terms of how you use it... You can get it from http://cran.r-project.org/ To know more about what it really is, you can get my PowerPoint presentation from: http://www.stat.auckland.ac.nz/~kwan022/pub/R/Introduction/ or and article I wrote from: http://www.stat.auckland.ac.nz/~kwan022/pub/SDK/SAD/Journal/ If you're a
