Hi to the list. I think this has been discussed but i did not find anything in the FAQ. I am using R1.1 in Win98V2, compiler mingw32 etc. I want to program the calculation of the p value for Dunnett test for comparing k treatment means with a control. The program in fortran is in AppStat 251 1989,V38,p3. and in Statlib AP251 I substituted their main by the following R .First.lib <- function(lib, pkg) { library.dynam("dunnett", pkg, lib) } pdunnett <- function(x,k,n,lowr=-x) { #uses Dunnett code to compute the p of a Dunnett test # kk <- k k <- k-1 bpd<-vector(mode="double",length=k) for (i in 2:kk) bpd[i-1] <- 1/sqrt(1+n[1]/n[i]) ndf <- sum(n)-kk # d<-vector(mode="double",length=k) a<-vector(mode="double",length=k) b<-vector(mode="double",length=k) inf <- vector(mode="integer",length=k) # inf[1] <- 2 d <- rep(0.0,k) b <- rep(lowr,k) a <- rep(x,k) errb <- 0.0001 ierc <- 0 hnc <- 0.0 prob <- 0.51 bnd <- 0.0 iflt <- 0 buf <- 2.0 # this is the subroutine called # SUBROUTINE # MVSTUD(NDF,A,B,BPD,ERRB,N,INF,D,IERC,HNC,PROB, # * BND,IFLT,buf) # ans <- .Fortran("mvstud", ndf=as.integer(ndf), a=as.double(a), b=as.double(b), bpd=as.double(bpd), errb=as.double(errb), n=as.integer(k), inf=as.integer(inf), d=as.double(d), ierc=as.integer(ierc), hnc=as.double(hnc), prob=as.double(prob), bnd=as.double(bnd), iflt=as.integer(iflt), buf=as.double(buf) ) # list(prob=ans[[11]],bnd=ans[[12]],buf=ans[[14]]) } but I can get anything back, I put buf=10; return; at the beginning of MVSTUD but buf is still 2. Can some charitable soul tell me what I am doing wrong? As always thanks for the help . R.
