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 page 500

Users of R 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.

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

Dear R-help, I think I have kinda isolated the problem I had to the following: i <- 0 while( {i <- i + 1} < 5) { if(i < 3) next print(i) } This seems to go into an infinite loop. After I break the execution, i has the value 1. At the R prompt, if I start from i <- 0 and keep typing {i <- i + 1} < 5, it eventually evaluate to TRUE. So why does the while loop not work?

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?) Sorry for my poor question but I am very curious Thank in advance Paolo C.

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 ;-)

I'm writing to ask for a policy exception, or advice on how to make this package CRAN allowable. http://rweb.quant.ku.edu/kran/src/contrib/portableParallelSeeds_0.9.tar.gz Yesterday I tried to submit a package on CRAN and Dr Ripley pointed out that I had not understood the instructions about packages.

hello, ladyes and gentlemans. check this: means<-c(4,6,8) stand.error<-c(0.1,0.3,0.5) now i've strongly tryed to scatterplot the means(y-axis),by showing their sd with the arrow(..,code=3,angle=90) function. The problem is that my x-axis has categorical values (say, factor(x)), and the arrows() can't recognize...

Prof. Tierney, Thanks very much for the info. Why does the loop work if I move the assignment out of the condition? E.g., the following works: i <- 0 while(i < 5) { i <- i + 1 if(i < 3) next print(i) } Regards, Andy > -----Original Message----- > From: Luke Tierney [mailto:luke at nokomis.stat.umn.edu] > Sent: Tuesday, October 02, 2001 3:36 PM > To: Liaw, Andy

Just thought I would mention that there is a new O'Reilly book out, "Developing Bioinformatics Computer Skills", which is ok, pretty superficial about some things but at least it lets you know what is happening and where. R gets a few pages in there, 394-396, mostly nice press and accurate except that Bill Venables (hi Bill) may be surprised to find out that he is a member of the

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

Hi. Robert Gentleman's solution works. Thanks. This seems to be a documentation bug; I will submit a separate report to the bug list for completeness.

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

Martin Your revisions to my S--R compatability code suggest that tempfile() is in R after 0.49. I don't find that to be the case.
