I mainly program in Common Lisp and use R for statistical analysis. While in R I miss the power and ease of use of Lisp, especially its many primitives such as find, member, cond, and (perhaps a bridge too far) loop. Has anyone created a package that includes R analogs to a subset of Lisp functions? Chris Elsaesser, PhD Principal Scientist, Machine Learning SPADAC Inc. 7921 Jones

I would like to try a likelihood ratio test in place of waldtest. Ideally I'd like to provide two glm models, the second a submodel of the first, in the style of lrt (http://www.pik-potsdam.de/~hrust/tools/farismahelp/lrt.html). [lrt takes farimsa objects] Does anyone know of such a likelihood ratio test? Chris Elsaesser, PhD Principal Scientist, Machine Learning SPADAC Inc. 7921

Does anyone know of a package that includes the Modified Sims test [Gewerke, 1983, Sims, 1972]? This test is used in econometrics and is a kind of alternative to the Granger test [Granger, 1969], which is in the package lmtest. Thanks in advance, chris Refernces: Gewerke, J., R. Meese, and W. Dent (1983), "Comparing Alternative Tests of Causality in Temporal Systems: Analytic Results and

I need a package that can compute missing values of n-dimensional vectors for n > 2. This is a kind of interpolation, complicated in dimensions higher than 2. The idea is that I have a set of fully specified vectors (i.e., with no missing values) and I get a new vector that has one or more missing attributes; I need to fill in the missing values with values that are, based on the 'training

Hi everyone, I have a licencing question : do one need to buy CAL for every user in a Samba4 domain when there is a Windows Server as a domain member, knowing that the Windows server will be accessed using SMB by Windows workstations? As per http://www.samba.org/samba/docs/using_samba/ch01.html and many other web sites, one of the main advantage of samba is that no user CALs are required. And I

You can join a Windows Server to a Samba4 Domain controller and set up the WSUS server role and it should work. HOWEVER, if you are going to point all your devices at the WSUS server, you will require CALs for the devices or the users using them to maintain licensing compliance with Microsoft. At this point, you have paid for the number of Windows Server CALs you need to run actual Active

Hi: I loaded the LARS package,and input: data(diabetes),load the embedded data then I found the varialbes are in this form: x.age,x.bmi......(10 of them),X2.age,X2.bmi....(64 of them) When I input x,R gave me all 10 varialbes,and input X2,it gave me 64 variables,but if I input x.age,it returned nothing,I wonder how to affiliate those subvariable such as x.age,x.bmi to x,since I

Hi. Please, how can I put together 2 or more lines at the same scatterplot ? Example: measures of protein intake (quantitative) of 4 children over 30 days, by day. How to plot all children at same graphic: Protein X Time ? Is there any command like "overlay" ? Thank you, Mauricio

Hi, This is not a DTrace technical question (so, please don''t flame me for it) :) This is regarding the DTrace (un)conference TShirt. I am curious to know what engine is it. Could not figure it out.

Hi, I wanted to calculate the age of people in my dataset by subtracting the individual's date of birth from their intake into a program. After several hours, searches of help archives, and the downloading of lubiridate, I have had no luck with this. Below is the code I used. > intakeDS$DOB <- as.character(intakeDS$DOB) > intakeDS$DOB <- as.Date(intakeDS$DOB,

I need to send an ics file to a web service, so however it gets there it will arrive as a string. Is there another way to begin Icalendar''s Parse than with a file?

Hi How do i set up so that everyone can dial, for example *21* to forward all calls to a cellphone or another extension and how do I enable so that cals can be transferd between extentions. I use asterisk 1.6 and have my phones in unistim.conf and my extensions in extensions.conf.

Dear R user! I have a small question! I have calculated the relative importance of the variables. However I would like to compare the relative importance of two different groups of variables (i.e Strategy and industry) For example let me say that strategy has 2 sub varialbes and industry has four different variables! Can I simply add the importance of those four industry variables importance

I have the following senerio. Call file calls 1st party. When connected give called party option to connect to second party. Issue Dial to second party. Caller answers and the two are bridged together. My issue is that 4 out of 5 calls fail to bridge the audio. Am I missing something or is there some kind of bug? Here is my test dialplan ;Dialer Base Code Files. ;Variables

Do I take a CAL of any type when using a samba client to connect to a w2k file server or view the shares on a w2k file server ? John Paciotti CompuData Inc.

Hello, We have recently joined a Windows Server 2008 R1 on our samba domain as a domain member. The samba domain controller runs Samba version 3.4.9 on FreeBSD 8.2. We use the Windows Server as a terminal server for our domain users who need an accounting application called Acomba. Therefore we have added TS User CALs to the server in question. The TS Licensing Server was activated and the

Hi all :) Using lm_sensors, I can see few temperature indicator. M/B Temp: +39?C (low = +15?C, high = +40?C) sensor = thermistor CPU Temp: +33?C (low = +15?C, high = +45?C) sensor = thermistor Temp3: +53?C (low = +15?C, high = +45?C) sensor = diode What is that Temp3? It's the hottest. Which one is the best to use if I want to use lm_sensor as a general

Hi! First of all: I'm a newbie to both statistics and R, so please be patient with me... I do however, like R because I've been programming (pascal, IDL, perl, C etc) and designing models since -92, but never related to statistics. Ok, here we go: I've got a set of 15 people, all of them observed over 10 weeks (10 analysed blood samples) with - let us kall it the A-value - influenced
