There is a CRAN package licensed just as "GPL", say, XX, I want to use in a book. But I've needed to modify the package to make it do what I need for expository purposes. The package author(s) are amenable to my modifications, but probably unlikely to incorporate them into the CRAN version any time soon. Am I allowed, under GPL, to create a new version of the package, say XX2, in a public repository such as R-Forge or github? I would, of course, maint...

Hello, I'm using optim to program a set of mle regression procedures for non-normal disturbances. This is for teaching and expository purposes only. I've successfully programmed the normal, generalized gamma, gamma, weibull, exponential, and lognormal regression functions. And optim returns reasonable answers for all of these compared with the identical optimization problems in STATA and LIMDEP. However, I'm having a prob...

...ales (MacOS X and most modern Linuxen) will need to take care with `legacy' files. - The long list of new topics in the NEWS file: in almost all cases there are further details on the help pages. - For package maintainers, `Writing R Extensions' of course. There will (I am told) be some expository articles in the 2005-1 issue of R-News. I've put one on the changes to update.packages() and friends up (temporarily) at http://www.stats.ox.ac.uk/pub/R/Packages210.pdf -- Brian D. Ripley, ripley at stats.ox.ac.uk Professor of Applied Statistics, http://www.stats.ox.ac.u...

...he element of the vector containing at least one match into x parts, where x is the number of hits plus the number of elements when the surrounding material is split up so that I can generate this kind of display (I leave aside the issue of spaces for now and transpose the above kind of display for expository reasons): (the first hit in a[1]) -3 -2 -1 0 <w TO0>to <w VV1>find 1 <w VVN>expected 2 <w TO0>to 3 <w VV2>skivvy and the next line of the output would be the second hit in a[1]: -3 <w TO0>to -2 <w VV1>find -1 <w VVN>expected 0 <w TO0>to &l...

...s and improve the current documentation? I have made a document which should allow you to get up and running writing documentation extremely quickly and easily; you can find it at <http://llvm.org/docs/SphinxQuickstartTemplate.html>. Any help is greatly appreciated. Even just a slightly more expository coverage of the material in your email would be a great addition to the docs, and could serve as a seed for others to improve. This email reply you just gave seems like it would fit really well into a new document "How To dive into developing an LLVM backend"; you appear to have a good re...

Hi, > 1.1) Please verify all above change(s) are OK? or I have modify some code? Parts will almost certainly have to change in future, but if it builds that's an excellent first step. > 1.2) In LLVM, can we proceed our development like as GCC i.e. incremental > approach? In case of yes, please provide me any reference. Incremental is definitely possible. I started out with

Hi all, llvm newbie here. I'm trying to learn porting with llvm for study purpose. This is my first query on llvm mailing list.I have some idea about GCC. I choose 'rx' as a target to port as it is also available in GCC. I have done some initial changes with llvm source code to register target with llvm. I need to verify these changes. Can anyone please take a chance to verify it.

Dear R-Users, given you have been teaching R to students (grad level, mainly social science background, no previous programming experience, 80% know SPSS), what are your experiences concerning the style of teaching? Do you prefer to stand in front of the class like in "normal" lectures and you show them slides? Or do you you explain some concept (for example things like

...lib/R/library directory. See section 2.2 below for more details. As described in "Writing R Extensions", an R package should contain data sets and/or R code, and R help files in Rd (R documentation) format. Optionally an R package can contain C/C++/Fortran code, regression tests, and/or expository documents, called "vignettes", that are written in a noweb format. Source R packages are distributed as gzip'd tar files named according to the package, version and sub-version, e.g. car_1.0-0.tar.gz. In what follows, the R prompt, "> ", will be used to distinguish exam...
