[R] Seeking well-commented versions of mgcv source code
Dear List, I'm looking for well-commented versions of various functions comprising mgcv, so that I can modify a piece of it for a project I'm working on. In particular I'm looking for * testStat * summary.gam * liu2 * simf Obviously I can find these by typing mgcv:::whatever. But there are a lot of nested if statements, making it difficult to follow. Comments in the code describing exactly what is happening at each step would make my life a lot easier. Where can I find more-detailed versions of the code? Thanks, Andrew [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Read the Posting Guide, which points out that this list is for plain text emails
so you should set your email program appropriately.
Read the Writing R Extensions document, which tells you how packages are
constructed, and from which it will become clear that you want the tar.gz
package file for whatever package you are interested in.

Well commented versions is another matter... best, Simon -- Simon Wood, Mathematical Science, University of Bath BA2 7AY UK +44 (0)1225 386603 http://people.bath.ac.uk/sw283
