Hi All, I would like to use anonymous cvs, but it appears not to be working (again?). There was a discussion back in Jan-Feb about whether to continue supporting it, but it seemed that Tony Rossini got it working and the discussion left off there. Did someone decide to disable it, or is it just not working properly? Here's the details: $ cvs -d :pserver:anoncvs@cvs.r-project.org:/home/rcvs/src login (Logging in to anoncvs@cvs.r-project.org) CVS password: anoncvs /home/rcvs/src: no s...

Dear R users, I ran into this curious problem: > d <- rnorm(100) > d.density <- density(d) > sum( d.density$x * d.density$y) [1] 2.517502 Admittedly the method of computing the mass under the density curve at line 3 is crude. But 2.5 is pretty far from 1, the value it should be. I tried a few other dataset and got similar result. Am I missing something obvious? Or is the return

Hello, I checked mail list archives and this topic came up before in March '99 (about ability of R to multithread). At that time rossini at biostat.washington.edu (Tom Rossini) suggested to check his web page in a few month as it was on his list to-do. I checked but the web page is not valid. I wanted to know if in general progress has been made in the area, or if it is planned. I was also wondering if it is possible to use R from...

As a user of only R, I don't use much of the potential of ESS and Emacs. Without entering a religious feud, is there any reason I should use XEmacs rather than my current GNU Emacs? (I looked on the XEmacs site, but I didn't understand the programming issues they were talking about (over my head).) Martin Henry H.

While I know how to transfer data as arrays, and the docs suggest I can transfer tables, and that's fine, I'm wondering how to transfer and contort objects, and if the above might be a reasonable general sketch, or if there might be another approach? best, -tony -- A.J.

First let me confess that I am a R-novice. I am trying to fit a beta distribution for a dataset using fitdistr(MASS). I am having difficulties with it because the function tends to fit a distribution with a range of 0 to 1 (I guess). However, my dataset is not! Anytips or tricks will be very much appreciated. Many Thanks. T. S. Ramanarayanan, Ph.D. Aventis CropScience Research Triangle Park,

Okay, so I've got a set of directories containing unpacked R packages (unpacked, since for various sensible reasons, I'm editing them in warped ways).

Dear R People: Is there a binary version for rorca, please? Thanks, Laura mailto: lauraholt_983 at hotmail.com R Windows 1.9.0

Dear R experts, Sorry, I am resending this, since I have not received this mail myself for the past 5 hours. I saw a similar question dated July 2. But there is no answer to it. Does anybody have a solution to it? I am using window NT, and the R version is 1.5.1, the SJava package is the binary version SJavaWin_0.62-8.zip.
