...software I can also think of a few advantages of R: 1. Based on my personal experiences, simulations requiring a lot of looping seem to run faster. 2. R interfaces with BUGS, for example through BRUGS. 3. The wonderful help list! As always, I am speaking for myself and not necessarily for Edwards Lifesciences.

...th straight samba packages on ext3 with similar results. Alternatively would it be possible to add some quota support to vfs_gpfs to make this work?

Hi, I'm trying to convert an old system on Solaris 10 that uses the smbpasswd file authentication method to a system that authenticates against Active Directory. I've managed to get winbind working but of course this just allocates UIDs as it sees fit whereas the smbpasswd file method used the UID from the /etc/passwd file. The user codes on the Solaris server match the user

...software for statistical analyses and reporting remains high here at my company. Has anyone used R for an official submission to FDA/CDRH? It would be most helpful if I could tell our group that others have been able to use R for this purpose. Regards, Cody Hamilton Staff Biostatistician Edwards Lifesciences

Hi all, The survivals functions can be tested by the Log-rank test and others, for example the Gehan-Breslow. The graham breslow work with the alpha values. But I don't know how is the Gehan-Breslow test with R. Somebody know a type function?.. or other suggestions? Any help will be really appreciated Jos?

Dear All, discussing with a statistician of a pharmaceutical company I received this answer about the statistical package that I have planned to use: As R is not a validated software package, we would like to ask if it would rather be possible for you to use SAS, SPSS or another approved statistical software system. Could someone suggest me a 'polite' answer? TIA Giovanni -- dr.

Hello, I've been using samba to share files on a Redhat server within a windows NT domain. Recently, security policies in the domain have changed, and security signatures are required for the LanManServer and Rdr services. Now that this has been deployed, I get an error when I try to connect to the SMB shares on the Redhat server from Windows hosts saying "account is not authorized to log

The only exception I've found is when there is no character string at all before the opening parenthesis. Then you can type as quickly as you want with no ill effects. -- Mickey Rowe (mrowe at lifesci.ucsb.edu)

Hi all, I'm trying to estimate model parameters in R for a pretty simple system of equations, but I'm having trouble. Here is the system of equations (all derivatives): eqAlgae <- (u_Amax * C_A) * (1 - (Q_Amin / Q_A)) eqQuota <- (p_max * R_V) / (K_p + R_V) - ((Q_A-Q_Amin)*u_Amax) eqResource <- -C_A * (p_max * R_V) / (K_p + R_V) eqSystem <- list(C_A = eqAlgae, Q_A = eqQuota,

I am new to using R and would appreciate some advice on which books to start with to get up to speed on using R. My Background: 1-C# programmer. 2-Programmed directly using IMSL (Now Visual Numerics). 3- Used in past SPSS and Statistica. I put together a list but would like to pick the "best of" and avoid redundancy. Any suggestions on these books would be helpful (i.e. too much

Hello, I might be barking up the wrong tree here, but I want to make sure I have a full understanding of this. What I would like to know is what tests are performed to give the p-values for each variable in the table that is the result of coxph regression when the variables are categorical only. More specifically, when expected counts are less than 5 is the Fisher's exact test used instead

Hello. I would like to estimate the correlation coefficient from two samples with Bootstrapping using the R-function sample(). The problem is, that I have to sample pairwise. For example if I have got two time series and I draw from the first series the value from 1912 I need the value from 1912 from the second sample, too. Example: Imagine that a and b are two time series with returns for
