...Details and the patch are on my web page, along with one example of a problematic symmetric matrix (to be loaded with the 'load' function). The NaNs should appear in the eigenvectors. This particular matrix may not produce an error on all platforms. http://www.stat.columbia.edu/~kerman/Software/rprog.html Thanks to Radford Neal who suggested on our research web log (link below) that setting EISPACK=TRUE may help. http://www.stat.columbia.edu/~cook/movabletype/mlm/ Jouni Kerman Department of Statistics Columbia University New York

In an attempt to learn to use the rv package, I have been working through the examples in Jouni Kerman and Andrew Gelman's "Using Random Variables to Manipulate and Summarize Simulations in R" (July 4, 2007). I am using a Dell Precision 380n computer running Gentoo Linux and R 2.2.1 (the latest available through Gentoo's portage/emerge system). Everything worked well until I trie...

I have downloaded the Umacs (Universal Markov chain sampler) and submitted the following sample code from Kerman and Gelman.   s <-Sampler( J=8, sigma.y  =c(15,10,16,11,9,11,10,18),           y  =c(28, 8,-3,7,-1,1,18,12),      theta =Gibbs(theta.update,theta.init),           V =Gibbs(V.update,mu.init),         mu =Gibbs(mu.update,mu.init),         tau =Gibbs(tau.update,tau.init),        Trace("theta[1...

We were promised this package last spring but I can't find it anywhere! Does anyone have any info? Thanks. >From RNews: "Umacs (Universal Markov chain sampler) is an R package (to be released in Spring 2006) that facilitates the construction of the Gibbs sampler and Metropolis algorithm for Bayesian inference ..." -- View this message in context:

Dear R-users, I am trying to use the following code to reproduce results from Prof. Gelman's book, but have the listed error for R2WinBUGS version (the openbugs version is good). I am using R-2.6.1 on windows XP, and all the R packages are most current ones. schools.bug can be found at http://www.stat.columbia.edu/~gelman/bugsR/runningbugs.html . Can anyone help me to figure out what's

...0 inherit acls = yes inherit permissions = yes valid users = xxx, xxx1 I have tried various other options such as "map acl inherit = yes", "dos filemode = yes" to no avail. Setting a default acl for the primary group has no effect. Thanks in advance. Mark Kerman

I'm back! I've just learned that, on a fully updated Fedora Core Linux5 sytem, the working solution to access Winbugs under wine via the R package "rbugs" no longer works. Here was my last post on this topic (with the formerly working solution) from January. http://finzi.psych.upenn.edu/R/Rhelp02a/archive/68497.html Currently, what happens is that WinBUGS starts up, but just

Well, after our first real extended power outage, I found out that even though the UPS 1000 RM is recognized okay, it does not work properly. It never seems to see any change in UPS status. It looks very similar to the other issue I reported with the APC CyberFort 350. I never was able to get to the bottom of the CyberFort issue, but I'll bet it's the same issue as we have with the
