I was wondering if it would make sense to change the default behavior of the following: summary(15555L) ## Min. 1st Qu. Median Mean 3rd Qu. Max. ## 15560 15560 15560 15560 15560 15560 summary.default on numeric values rounds values (not just presentation) to getOption("digits")-3L (or four) digits by default, making those values surprising and less suitable for

Hi, somebody from the kolab groupware project recently explained me that the Bus- Factor[1] of around 1 would be one of their primary reasons not to use Dovecot and stick with Cyrus. What do you think about that? Is the bus factor much higher then 1? [1] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bus_factor Somehow related: Since the free software world[2] slowly converges towards GIT as the "one and

Has anyone come across this problem... I created some Ruby files in Textmate on my Mac - and everything works fine. However, when I run those files on a Windows machine I get e.g. compile error ./script/../config/../app/views/station/consumption/new.rhtml:2: Invalid char `\002'' in expression ./script/../config/../app/views/station/consumption/new.rhtml:4: parse error, unexpected

I seem to have unwittingly stirred up a hornets' nest here, so let me have one more say and leave it. Firstly, congratulations to Renaud Launcelot, who seems to have a better feel for wryness and irony in English than some of my native speaker colleagues. Of course R A Fisher is a seminal writer, indeed close to the founder of modern statistics and every aspiring statistician should read

John, I had raised the matter ten years ago, and I was told that the topic was already very^3 old https://stat.ethz.ch/pipermail/r-devel/2006-September/042684.html there is some discussion on its origin and also a declaration of intents to change the default behaviour, which, unfortunately, remained a declaration. I agree that R could do better here, let's hope in less than ten years

hi list, oh it''s not really a problem. Each time i fire shorewall, i run a custom iptables script: (for the openvpn machines to have route back from my bridge/fw - $SOURCEIP is the ip of my OpenVPN/Fw/bridge) iptables -A POSTROUTING -t nat -s 10.8.0.0/16 -j SNAT --to-source $SOURCEIP i wish to better integrate it within shorewall, so is there any config files that could achieve the

I guess the good part is that you get an uncensored view of what we feel about the community

Is there a way to get the following code to include NA values where the coefficients are ?NA?? ((summary(reg))$coefficients) explanation: Using a loop, I am running regressions on several ?subsets? of ?data1?. ?reg <- ( lm(lm(data1[,1] ~., data1[,2:l])) )? My regression has 10 independent variables, and I therefore expect 11 coefficients. After each regression, I wish to save the
