...on AAReachability TODO after solving this > issue. I think the AAReachability TODO is being worked on but #179 not, as far as I know. Would you be interested in taking this one? If so, make sure to split it in multiple smaller patches, starting with one for the LangRef.doc and the Attributor. FIWI, I think we want the attribute to mean 1) below. I note this because 2) is "the opposite" of dereferenceable. 1) the underlying object is at most this large, where the pointer points to doesn't matter. 2) the underlying object has at most X more dereferenceable bytes from...

Hello, Suppose I have x, which is a variable of class numeric. The calculations performed to yield x imply that mathematically it should be an integer , but due to round-off errors, it might not be (and so in either direction). The error is however small, so round(x) will yield the appropriate integer value. Moreover, this integer values is guaranteed to be representable by an

Hi, It seems that my dovecot installation periodically stops authenticating users. Restarting dovecot resolves the issue temporarily. I'm authenticating via PAM to OpenLDAP on a CentOS 4 box. I've seen several related posts about this issue but no resolution. My logs show: Sep 15 03:58:24 server01 dovecot: imap-login: Can't connect to auth server at default: Resource

Hi, Both operators <- and = can be used to make an assignment. My question is: Is there a semantic difference between these two? Some time ago, I remember I have read that because of some reason, one should be given preference over the other - but I cannot remember the source, nor the argument, nor which operator the preferred was. What is the present state ? Is still one version better

Hi, I wonder if the following is possible in R: Suppose a function takes an argument, and wants to modify this argument so that the change is visible _at the call side_. It would be what is for example known as pass-by-reference-to-non-const in C++. test <- function(x) { x <- 10 ... return (somethingElse) # I do NOT want having to return x } number = 5 test(number)

Hi, I have fitted a generalized linear mixed effects model using lmer (library lme4), and the family = quasibinomial. I have tried to obtain a MCMC sample, but on calling mcmcsamp(model1, 1000) I get the following error which I don't understand at all: Error in .local(object, n, verbose, ...) : Update not yet written traceback() delivers: 4: .Call(mer_MCMCsamp, ans, object) 3:

Hi, I just came across the following issue regarding mixed effects models: In a longitudinal study individuals (variable ind) are observed for some response variable. One explanatory variable, f, entering the model as fixed effect, is a (2-level) factor. The expression of that factor is constant for each individual across time (say, the sex of the individual). ind enters the model as grouping

Hi, I am looking for a function which can convert a single factor (a vector), or a list of multiple factors, into the indicator (dummy) matrix with 0/1 entries (or other contrasting schemes). I could cook it myself, but I am actually sure this thing already exists - but forgot the name and package. IIRC it was clearly different from model.matrix, because it had a nicer, more straightforward

Hi, I was just *highly* surprised to find out that R 2.8.0 (Windows XP) changes the timezone-interpretation during operations on time data, as apparently the timezone attribute is lost and then, for the next interpretation of the timezone, the system settings are used. Here is sample code (executed under a platform with the system timezone managed by Windows set to "CET", but note

Hello, Before I get into troubles I ask here: I make a call to a C function using .C. What I would like to know is if the arguments in the .C call can also be 'temporary' objects. An example will illustrate this: # here we don't have a temporary Obj1 = 5 .C("Func", as.integer(Obj1 ), ...) # certainly works # here we do have a temporary Obj2 = 5 .C("Func",

Hi, [note: 4th posting trial - apologize if the other ones would ever show up...] I have a (3-level) ordinal response data set which needs the integration of an spatial autocorrelation structure. What packages / functions are available to fit such a thing ? The heterogeneous, cluster-alike structuring of the autocorrelation seems to make a mixed effects model with random factors capturing

Dear R-users, Does somebody know what does the "Estimate" reported by the Lavaan model tell us? I assume this tells the relative strength of the dyadic relations. Thank you for your help!

Hello, I have quite a tough problem, which might be able to be solved by MCMC. I am fairly new to MCMC (in the learning process) - so apologize if the answer is totally obvious, and any hints, links etc are greatly appreciated. I'll illustrate the problem in a version cut-down to the essentials - the real problem is ways more complex. Suppose I have a Markovian series of poisson

Hi, Suppose a binomial GLM with both continuous as well as categorical predictors (sometimes referred to as GLM-ANCOVA, if I remember correctly). For the categorical predictors = indicator variables, is then there a suggested minimum frequency of each level ? Would such a rule/ recommendation be dependent on the y-side too ? Example: N is quite large, a bit > 100. Observed however are

Hello, Consider MCMC sampling with metropolis / metropolis hastings proposals and a density function with a given valid parameter space. How are MCMC proposals performed if the parameter could be located at the very extreme of the parameter space, or even 'beyond that' ? Example to express it and my very nontechnical 'beyond that': The von Mises distribution is a circular

Hi, As I didn't get any response on the general help list and I don't know if there is a bug in action I am trying my luck here. I was highly surprised to find out that during simple operations (see code below) the timezone attribute for POSIXct data is lost and then, upon the next interpretation, the system settings are used (which are plain wrong in my case). I have used R 2.8.0

Hi, Please apologize if my questions sounds somewhat 'stupid' to the trained and experienced statisticians of you. Also I am not sure if I used all terms correctly, if not then corrections are welcome. I have asked myself the following question regarding bootstrapping in regression: Say for whatever reason one does not want to take the p-values for regression coefficients from the
