In polr.R the (several) functions gmin and fmin contain the code > theta <- beta[pc + 1L:q] > gamm <- c(-100, cumsum(c(theta[1L], exp(theta[-1L]))), 100) That's bad. There's no reason to suppose beta[pc+1L] is larger than -100 or that the cumulative sum is smaller than 100. For practical datasets those assumptions are frequently violated, causing the

Yesterday I was biten by a feature, which I find too dangerous. I wanted to use a factor `Subject?? as index into a data frame, whose row names were the levels of this factor. So there a 2 different possible interpretations of this: Either Subject is coerced to numeric or to character. The intended interpretation was, of course, `as.character(Subject)'. R did `as.numeric(Subject)??. This will

Version: 2.5.1 array() is inconsistent when given non-integral dimensions: > zz <- array(0,dim=c(4,3.01)) > dim(zz) [1] 4 3 > zz <- array(0,dim=c(201,4.05)) Error in dim(data) <- dim : dim<- : dims [product 804] do not match the length of object [814] [IMHO the code that did this is broken. My copy of it has been fixed. Consistent behavior and/or a clearer error message

Try this: fn <- "tmp.dat" x <- 1:3 dump("x",file=fn) file.info(fn) ## 9 bytes file.copy(paste("./",fn,sep=""),fn,overwrite=TRUE) file.info(fn) ## 0 bytes (!!) Normally file.copy() checks and disallows overwriting a file with itself, but it only checks whether character string 'from' is the same as character string 'to'

This is a bug/misfeature report for R CMD check. The function tools:::.check_packages_used_in_tests Gives an apparently unintended error when checking the tests in the contributed package rcdd_1.1-3.tar.gz as found on CRAN. See the script below for details. The actual error reported is totally mysterious. * check...

...o, why is that a share that is set 'msdfs root = yes' -- or, rather, a share that does /not/ set 'msdfs root = no' -- advertises that it is a DFS root to the Linux CIFS client, /even /when 'host msdfs = no'? This sounds like A) a bug (ignoring 'host msdfs', and B) a misfeature (msdfs root should probably /not/ default to yes).

Just starting a new thread so that it''s easy to follow. I just submitted a patch at trac to add a new class method called "set_default_values" ( not a great name I think ), which lets you do all kinds of crazy stuff with setting default values. This ticket is at http://dev.rubyonrails.org/ticket/9093 and example pastie is at http://pastie.caboo.se/81925 It also lets you make

Dear All, Consider the following code: pdf(file="figure.pdf",family="URWPalladio") curve(dlnorm(x,0,1.5),0,10,xlim=c(0,10),ylim=c(0,0.85),axes=F,xlab="",ylab="f") segments(exp(-1.5^2),0,exp(-1.5^2),dlnorm(exp(-1.5^2),0,1.5),lty="dashed") segments(1,0,1,dlnorm(1,0,1.5),lty="dashed")

Many a dollar has been wasted on workarounds and -often- the resulting security holes. Fortunately on FreeBSD 6.1 (and probably older versions as well) you can disable this remnant of trust-by-conventio...

I'm going to file this bug but it's kind of a blocker for me so maybe someone has time to look at it. Should be nearly trivial to fix. It's a bug in the way the "section" attribute of functions is processed. Consider the following code: void x(int i) __attribute((section(".mySection,\"aw\", at progbits#"))); void x(int i) { } If you compile this

Should be nearly trivial to fix. I don't think this is a bug, but a misfeature in GCC due to the way it does (non-)escaping. Joerg

Hi all How to add a static route to a hostname with iproute2? I tried: ip route add linux.com via 192.168.1.1 I got the following reply: Error: an inet prefix is expected rather than "linux.com". With "route command" I do not have problems route add -host linux.com gw 200.214.148.140 As the iproute2 is the standard in the current linus distros, I would like to know if is

Starting from version 3.0.2 (or .3?) there were a misfeature that caused workgroup names to show up as duplicates in workstations' browse lists. Fix for this didn't reach into 3.0.5-pre1, but rc1 had this fixed. Today I upgraded 3.0.5-rc1 to 3.0.5-2 (FC2 binary rpm from samba.org) and the problem reappeared. To be more spesific, the problem appear...

I believe I have found a bug (or at least a misfeature) in plot.POSIXct. See the following example code. set.seed(1) x=seq(1,1e8,length=100)+round(runif(100)*1e8) y=as.POSIXct(x,origin="2001-01-01") plot(y) This plots some random (date)times against their indices. The y axis correctly shows appropriate values (years), but the x axis cont...

OK, I think I've hit a misfeature in samba 3.0(release, Debian/sid) when it comes to using both Samba BDCs and domain trusts. It seems that the domain trust password is stored in the secrets.pdb on the server establishing the trust. This, obviously doesn't facilitate BDCs exercising the trust relationship, or being at all ac...

...en the labels of a factor are not sorted alphabetically, m[f] and m[as.character(f)] yield different results. m[f] is actually equivalent to m[as.numeric(f)]. I'm not the first to have been beaten by this (documented) feature, as I discovered in a recent thread ("[R] Indexing by factor misfeature", <http://tolstoy.newcastle.edu.au/R/help/04/04/0937.html> see http://tolstoy.newcastle.edu.au/R/help/04/04/0938.html).

This really smacks of the misfeature that gnome is pushing for of removing all supposedly confusing or needless options until someone complains loud enough to get them back in. I can understand hiding options behind advanced tabs, I can understand removing options that their inclusion has big negative impacts, but just removing opti...
