Multiple imputation with plausible values already in the data
Hello, this is not really an R-related question, but since the posting guide does not forbid asking non-R questions (even encourages it to some degree), I though I'd give it a try. I am currently doing some secondary analyses of the PISA (http://pisa.oecd.org) student data. I would like to treat missing values properly, that is using multiple imputation (with the mix package). But I am not

A seemingly plausible userspace command submission model.
Please tell me what can't work about this idea. - Introduce concept of "batches", through some kind of marker (tied to fences). - Request buffers up front, userspace does all relocation (avoid teaching the kernel about tiling, etc). - Driver stores state for each batch. - FIRE_RING becomes an ioctl that can fail (imagine backgrounded app holding pinned memory for too long). ==>

UPS (Megatec) with strange voltage values
Hello Nut List! I have 2 "Lacerda 10KVA" UPS that returns strange values for Q1 and F commands: Q1 (215.0 215.0 219.0 004 60.0 2.27 39.0 00000001 F #220.0 045 240.0 60.0 At least what I know about Megatec, It seems to say that it has a 240.0 V battery with currently 2.27V. Quite strange. I contacted Lacerda to help me interpret this values and they said that 2.27 is just 1 element

EL7 mirror: "There is no installed groups file."
I installed the RHEL 7 beta here to test while waiting for CentOS 7 to arrive. On noticing that yum didn't work, I decided to set up a local mirror. I rsync'd ftp://ftp.redhat.com/pub/redhat/rhel/beta/7/x86_64/os/Packages/ to a local web server here, then regenerated the repodata directory with createrepo. Now yum works fine, for the most part. "yum search foo" pulls

Preserving output of MCMC iterations
Dear colleagues, I'm an epidemiologist with no background in programming and just started using R a few weeks ago. I am working on the epidemiology of African sleeping sickness, and am trying to use R to perform a Monte Carlo Markov Chain analysis to estimate three unknown parameters within a model of African sleeping sickness case detection that is mainly informed by actual field programme

Survfit: why different survival curves but same parameter estimates?
Hello, I'm trying to estimate a Cox proportional hazard model with time-varying covariates using coxph. The parameter estimates are fine but there is something wrong with the survival curves I get with survfit (results are not plausible). Let me explain why I think something's wrong. To make sure I'm setting up my data correctly to estimate a model with time-varying covariates, I

Calling dovecot-lda correctly from exim for virtual user setup
Hi, I'm running Dovecot 2.1.7 on Debian. Exim is the MTA. I was recently made aware of the fact that the way in which Exim invokes dovecot-lda is prone to code injection: dovecot_virtual_delivery: driver = pipe command = HOME=/home/vmail/\$local_part /usr/lib/dovecot/dovecot-lda -f \$sender_address use_shell .. I.e. a command is executed via the shell, and Exim uses

meta-analysis question
Dear R-helpers, i have the following situation: i have a bunch of y=b0 + b1*x from different studies, and want to estimate a "general" y=f(x). I only have the b0,b1's and R-squareds. Should i weigh the separate equations by their R-squared? thanks Remko ^'~,_,~'^'~,_,~'^'~,_,~'^'~,_,~'^'~,_,~'^'~,_,~' Remko Duursma, Ph.D. student

This one really ought to be an unsigned or better still a size_t. Would it help if I provided

[LLVMdev] Dependence Analysis
Hi, everyone. I've been examining llvm for a while and been duly impressed. I'd like to contribute in the area of dependence analysis, and a good place to start seems to be in the transformation of pointers to explicit array accesses. Is anyone else working on this? If not, does this seem a plausible place to start and how would be the best way to go about it? Thanks, Naftali

qt for df < 1
I was experimenting yesterday with a binomial make.link option for estimating student t binary response models, tentatively called gossit, and I noticed eventually that the R qt function doesn't like df < 1. Vaguely recalling that Splus didn't seem to mind such weirdness, I checked on our soon to be defunct Splus6.2 and sure enough, it produced plausible answers instead of R's

back button support
Hello, I was just wondering what clever ways all the Ajax developers out there have come up with to add back button support to their web apps. I have seen a couple different ways on the net, but neither of them look very complete. Ideally, I would like a solution where I could modify Ajax.Updater to keep track of which pages where loaded into which elements, then create a function like

R and Excel disagreement - Goal Seek versus uniroot
Dear friends - occurring in Windows R2.6.2 I am modeling physical chemistry in collaboration with a friend who has preferred working in Excel. I used uniroot, and find a solution to a two buffer problem in acid-base chemistry which I believe is physiologically sensible. Using "goal seek" in Excel my friend found another plausible root, quite close to zero, and a plot of the function

RFC: Bug-closing protocol
TL;DR: It's okay to close a bug, if you can justify it properly. Recently there has been a spate of bug-closing with what I would call inadequate documentation. Comments such as "Obsolete?" or "I assume it's fixed" could be applied to nearly every open bug we have. While this does reduce the open bug count--something I have been watching with morbid fascination

ABI Breaking Checks
The abi-breaking.h seems to be incompatible with modules, owing to it having strong definitions in the header. I'm wondering if I can make it compatible by changing the: __attribute__((weak, visibility("hidden"))) variables to __attribute__((used)) static variables instead? It still seems to produce the desired link errors in my basic tests. Does that seem plausible to you?
