I'm using the function gee from the library(gee)
gee(Y~X,id=clust.id,corstr="exchangeable",b=tmc$coef,family=binomial(link=logit),silent=T)
Every time it runs, it dutifully prints out
Beginning Cgee S-function, @(#) geeformula.q 4.13 98/01/27
user's initial regression estimate
[,1]
[1,] -4.5278335
[2,] -0.2737999
[3,] -0.9528306
[4,] 0.9393861
[5,] -0.6618903
Unfortunately, i run thousands of these and the output gets extremely lengthy.
Is there any way to suppress this printout in R?
Thank you,
Josh

If you happen to be using Windows, you may be able to achieve more or less the same effect by sinking to a temporary file: sink( tempfile() ) Another function that may be useful is capture.output() Good luck! -Charlie ----- Charlie Sharpsteen Undergraduate Environmental Resources Engineering Humboldt State University -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/gee%3A-suppress-printout-tp25866057p25866226.html Sent from the R help mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

Is there any way to suppress this printout in R?I *was* going to suggest wrapping your call to gee() in suppressMessages() --- but that doesn't quite work. There are ***print()*** statements following the message statements, and there's no way to shut these up, as far as I know. So all you can do, I'm afraid, is edit the code for gee() and delete or comment out the offending message() and print() statements. Or prepend them by ``if(!silent)'' which would cause silent=TRUE to shut them up. Fortunately, since this is R, it's easy enuff to do. HTH. cheers, Rolf Turner P. S. I guess you could do some'at like sink("/dev/null") before the start of the sequence of calls to gee() and then sink() after they end, which would suppress all the unwanted bumff. But I would personally prefer the edit-the-code route. R.
