...and I am having trouble with the rank function in the presence of numerical NA data. I want the NA's all to get the same rank, but they don't. Here is an example from my session: >ct_align_rets_f2$liq[6851:6859] [1] 115396 NA 362595 NA 242986 340805 NA 692905 251533 >rankl=rank(ct_align_rets_f2$liq,na.last=FALSE,ties.method="min") >rankl[6851:6859] [1] 4392 2424 5535 2425 5037 5451 2426 6625 5082 What am I doing wrong? Is there a way to check whether there's a problem with the data, i.e., somehow the NA's have different values? (By the way,...

Could someone please help me by giving me a reference to how one computes standard errors for the coefficients in an orthogonal linear regression, or perhaps someone has some R code? (I would accept a derivation or formula, but as a former teacher, I know how that can rankle.) I tried to imitate what's done in the code for lm() but went astray somewhere and got nonsense. (This type of modeling goes by several names: total least squares, errors in variables, orthogonal distance regression (ODR), depending on where you are coming from.) I have found ODRpack, but I...

...control (as they are used to) over their local environment without having to learn CMake. If such is deemed needed for GNU Make, why is it ok to treat anyone using a BSD Make system as a poor cousin? Not that it's going to really affect us (we'll be using our own tree of Makefiles) but it rankles. Those old SYSV Makefiles are only there because they're the stupidest. I could offer you BSD Makefile templates, if someone in llvm would learn enough CMake to figure out how to integrate them into CMake. Cmake is your tool, not mine, remember. However, as I said in the first paragraph, m...

...such programs as the popular Music Match CD "ripping" software must pay royalties starting at $15,000 to the Fraunhofer Institute of Germany and Thomson Multimedia, which invented the MP3 system. And musicians who sell their songs in MP3 format are supposed to pay royalties as well. That rankles Mr. Montgomery, a burly, shy 29-year-old steeped in the hacker ethic of the free software movement that gave the world Linux and other programs. " 'Crusader' is too strong a word," he says in describing himself. "If 'crusader' is 10 and 'couch potato' is one...

Hi! Below is a link to a proposal I'm writing for two clients of ours who want an Internet-based backup solution. I propose eleven "objectives" in it, most of which are modifications to rsync. I'd like to contribute these changes back where possible, and so I'm posting this here for review. The nuts and bolts of it is the ability to keep multiple copies of files (think
