Both, in the manuals for par() and points() I could not find a note on the default value of "pch". I think it would be rather helpful to add a note that the default is 1 (in both manuals). This would, for example, help users that want to draw a legend. And yes, I know that one can obtain the default by inspecting par() but I think for many users (especially beginneRs) this is not

Hi, I am currently preparing a new version of my package papeR. When I run R CMD check using the development version of R I get the following note: Package in Depends field not imported from: ?nlme?, ?lme4?, ?survival? These packages needs to imported from for the case when this namespace is loaded but not attached. I now have problems to fix this issue. It is easy to get rid of two of the

Hi, I use a mboost model to predict my dependent variable on new data. I get the following warning message: In bs(mf[[i]], knots = args$knots[[i]]$knots, degree = args$degree, : some 'x' values beyond boundary knots may cause ill-conditioned bases The new predicted values are partly negative although the variable in the training data ranges from 3 to 8 on a numeric scale. In order to

I have a question regarding the build of my project papeR (hosted on R-forge http://r-forge.r-project.org/R/?group_id=1574) with respect to lme4. Both, Windows and MacOS are complaining that lme4 doesn't export summary: Error : object 'summary' is not exported by 'namespace:lme4' ERROR: lazy loading failed for package 'papeR' Linux however builds the project

I am looking for a way to generate .Rout.save files for vignettes. The manual "Writing R Extensions" states here [1] in item number 20: "If there is a target output file .Rout.save in the vignette source directory, the output from running the code in that vignette is compared with the target output file." Yet, there is no pointer on how to get the correct .Rout.save files

Today I stumbled upon a very strange behaviour of format.pval. If all p values are below the threshold eps one gets format.pval(c(0.0002, 0.0004), eps = 0.001) ## [1] "< 0.001" "< 0.001" format.pval(0.0004, eps = 0.001) ## [1] "< 0.001" i.e., "< [eps]" as described in the manual of format.eps. Yet, if one ore more are above (and one or more

Hi all, I am currently updating our package gamboostLSS which depends on package mboost *and* on package gamlss.dist. From mboost we use a lot of the fitting infrastructure and from gamlss.dist we obtain the relevant loss functions (aka families) used for fitting and corresponding quantile functions. Furthermore, we use the Family() function from package mboost. However, if I depend on both
