[This message is not always serious, but it addresses a real problem.] A problem with R's present name is that it is not very well suited to search engines, although Google at least seems to cope as long as you have sufficient other terms to filter out Toys R Us.

RNS = "RNS ist not S" ...but this is too easy: `Hurd' stands for `Hird of Unix-Replacing Daemons'. And, then, `Hird' stands for `Hurd of Interfaces Representing Depth'.

Richard, Many search engines, like Google, restrict matching to whole words. The word "R" does not occur nearly as frequently as the letter "R". In fact, if you perform a Google-search using "R" as a search parameter, the very first article returned is "The R Project for Statistical Computing"! I can estimate the density of this "R" concept: The query "R" returned 137,000,000 articles. How many articles are stored in Google? I can estimate this by searching for the word 'the', which according to Zipf, should occur in roughly 1 out of 2 documents. The "the" query returns 2,860,000,000 articles. So, I estimate 5.72 giga-documents and the density of the word "R" (representing many concepts) is only 0.024 per document. -jdagius Richard Rowe wrote: asking for r is a bit hard as (almost) every page will have lots of the them - r and statistics seems to work on the engines I use (I take my hats off to the designers of the indexers), --------------------------------- -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

The first hit of Googling for Using CRAN to fit nonlinear random coefficients models gave me http://cran.r-project.org/src/contrib/Descriptions/nlme.INDEX which isn't too bad, is it? Furthermore Using R to fit nonlinear random coefficients models gave me R: Linear and nonlinear mixed effects models at http://www.maths.lth.se/bioinformatics/software/R/library/nlme/html/00Index.html not bad too.
