It does look like Gentleman and Ihaka not only lied to the New York Times, but also to the New Zealand Herald and who knows who else. This is disgusting. The R programming language is the S programming language, and Gentleman and Ihaka are not the ones who designed it. http://thenewyorktimesissloppy.blogspot.com/

In their paper, "Lexical Scope and Statistical Computing", the authors ( Gentleman and Ihaka ) go to great length explaining why R's use of lexical scoping creates advantages when doing statistical computations. If anyone has or is familiar with this paper, could they provide the main program code for how the "newton" function would be called in their example on pa...

...may find the "Message from the President" in the latest issue of Liaison, the newsletter of the Statistical Society of Canada, to be of interest. (http://www.ssc.ca/documents/pubs/Liaison17.2.pdf). In this message Jim Ramsey, President of the SSC, describes his purpose in inviting Robert Gentleman to give the President's Invited Address at their annual general meeting. Robert's topic will be "Modern Statistical Computing".

Hi, The R FAQ suggests that we can cite Ihaka and Gentleman (1996) in publications. Does anyone have an electronic copy of this that could be (legally) made publically available -- my library here doesn't take this journal (Journal of Computational and Graphical Statistics). Otherwise, I can order it through interlibrary loan. Thanks, Stephen

Hi, I'm a beginner of R. I find it absoluty fantastic, flexible and very extensible. For the moment only a curiosity.. Why the name R? (are they perhaps the initials of Robert Gentleman and Ross Ihaka?, or is the name correlated with S language?)

I want to cite R for an article. What is the right thing to do? Shall I include "Notes on R" or is there a better way? -- mailto:koloska at rcs.urz.tu-dresden.de http://rcswww.urz.tu-dresden.de/~koloska/ -- -- right now the web page is in german only but this will change as time goes by ;-)

...asons now. But, mostly, I'm at your mercy and if there is any way to make this possible, I would be very grateful. To control & replace random number streams, it really is necessary to alter the workspace. That's where the random generator state is stored. It is acknowledged in Robert Gentleman' s Book, R Programming for Bionformatics "The decision to have these [random generator] functions manipulate a global variable, .Random.seed, is slightly unfortunate as it makes it somewhat more difficult to manage several different random number streams simultaneously?

I know that this general question has been asked before, but I have encountered a picky reviewer. In the 'standard' reference for R: R. Gentleman and R. Ihaka (1997). "The R language", In Proceedings of the 28th Symposium on the Interface, L. Billard and N. Fisher Eds. The Interface Foundation of North America. is there a geographical location for the publisher and perhaps pagination? Or is this an electronic document? Thanks Ji...

Hello: I want to write my thesis about the design and implementation of R, but I have not enough information and that's why I'm looking for the article "Lexical Scope and Statistical Computing" from Gentleman, but I don't want for the moment subscribe me to the American Statistical Association to download the article. Could anyone of you send me that article?? Thanks Gustavo Corral
