I see at one time there was a package called ROctave. I tried to install that package:> install.packages("ROctave")--- Please select a CRAN mirror for use in this session --- Warning message: In getDependencies(pkgs, dependencies, available, lib) : package ?ROctave? is not available Unfortunately it appears that the package is no longer available. By any chance is there another package or series of steps that need to be followed to allow R to interface with Octave on the Window platform (not using Cygwin)? Ideally the interface would allow R to make Octave calls. I am using Octave Version 3.2.3 installed from http://octave.sourceforge.net/. For example I would like to call the bode function in Octave from R: L = tf2sys(3e4 * [0.0025 0.1 1], [0.01 1.03 3.03 3.01 1]); bode(L); Thanks for any feedback and insights.
- It has never been on CRAN. - A quick Google search suggests it is on Omegahat. Uwe Ligges Jason Rupert wrote:> I see at one time there was a package called ROctave.

There is also this lexicon which might be sufficient to allow you to rewrite the Octave routine in R: http://cran.r-project.org/doc/contrib/R-and-octave.txt On Sat, Nov 14, 2009 at 5:29 PM, cls59 <chuck at sharpsteen.net> wrote:> > > Jason Rupert wrote: >> >> I see at one time there was a package called ROctave. ?I tried to install >> that package: >> >>> install.packages("ROctave") >> --- Please select a CRAN mirror for use in this session --- >> Warning message: >> In getDependencies(pkgs, dependencies, available, lib) : >> ? package ?ROctave? is not available >> >> Unfortunately it appears that the package is no longer available.

Charlie, Thank you very much for your reply. I also read this earlier and noticed this package was contributed in 2002 and not updated since then, so I am afraid it has long since been surpassed by both the R and Octave architectures and not been maintained. Thus, I guess my search will continue to try to identify a way to access the frequency domain analysis techniques (bode, nyquist, root locus, etc.) from Octave within R, or I may have to access R from within Octave. I have not really looked at loading R into Octave in Windows just yet, but I guess that is the next thing to be considered. Thank you again for your reply and insights. ----- Original Message ---- From: cls59 <chuck at sharpsteen.net> To: r-help at r-project.org Sent: Sat, November 14, 2009 4:29:18 PM Subject: Re: [R] Best advice for connect R and Octave Jason Rupert wrote:> > I see at one time there was a package called ROctave.
