readNEWS() states: Read R's ?NEWS? file or a similarly formatted one. This is an experimental feature, new in R 2.4.0 and may change in several ways and news() also indicates that this tool is supposed to work with non-R news files. However, I've not been able to get readNEWS to r...

Okay. So, after having spent quite some time never really tracking down why my package NEWS files were unacceptable to readNEWS(), I noticed that there was recent (to me anyway) development that allowed the NEWS to be done as an Rd file. Sweet! A more standard format... I converted a NEWS file in one of my unreleased packages to Rd format. checkNEWS() gave it a thumbs up. But then it went south. Tried the following after...

Dear R Help, I have noticed some inconsistent behaviour of add1 and drop1 with a weighted linear model, which affects the interpretation of the results. I have these data to fit with a linear model, I want to weight them by the relative size of the geographical areas they represent. _________________________________________________________________________________________ > example

I moved an entire RH 6.2 server from one CPU to a new one using a tape backup/restore. Everything from the old server is working on the new server, but when SysV starts up smb, the nmbd daemon (2.0.6) exits with an error: create_subnets: No local interfaces! eth0 has already started according to the logs and console. Any ideas? Thanks. ______________________ Greg Kelley, IT Director SSA, EAA,

Hello, Here are a few questions that would be useful to get an answer via dedicated functions in utils or tools packages: - When did function foo appeared in R or in a given package? - When did argument myarg appeared in function foo? - When did function bar get deprecated or when did it disappeared? - I wrote a script using functions foo and bar with R 1.9.1. My script does not work any more

...the actual contrast function if that has a formal argument 'sparse'. 'contrasts(f, .) <- val' now also works when 'val' is a sparse Matrix. It is planned that model.matrix() will work with such factors 'f' in the future. o readNEWS() will recognize a UTF-8 byte-order mark (BOM) in the NEWS file. However, it is safer to use only ASCII code there because not all editors recognize BOMs. o New utility function inheritedSlotNames() for S4 class programming. o tabulate() now allows NAs to pass through...
