I am replying to the email below my signature; it is nominally about dmp files, but apparently specific to problems with Bill DuMouchel's hblm program. I have been using this program on Splus for years, and ran into some of the same problems Jack did in trying to get it into R. I talked with Bill about it, and he didn't know that there would be any problems; he assumed that R was functionally identical to Splus, and that the program...

...hierarchical bayes linear model) and receive the error in solve.default. The function was originally written for an older version of SPlus. Can anyone give me some insights into where the problem is?

Hi WizaRds, I tried reading the S-PLUS file ftp://ftp.research.att.com/dist/bayes-meta/hblm.dmp into R using data.restore("hblm.dmp") but I got an error: Error in attributes(value) <- thelist[-match(c(".Data", ".Dim", ".Dimnames", : row names must be 'character' or 'integer', not 'double' In ad...

...sorry that this question has been asked before but I ask it again because in the archives I didn't see a solution. It's an old S-plus dmp file for a hierarchical bayes linear model program written by DuMouchel and available publicly and freely at: ftp://ftp.research.att.com/dist/bayes-meta/hblm.dmp Only problem is that it cannot be read in R, even using the functions of the library foreign to read dmp files. Does anyone know a workaround, maybe hints about what parts of the file need to be modified so that it can be read. I have read the documentations of the program, it seems a very int...
