...trying to draw upon the unparalleled knowledge and sagacity of the r-help list. Please reply off-list if you can help me out. A collaborator of mine found a formula we need, on sheets which he had photocopied out of a book, some years ago. He cannot remember which book (he's getting to be as senile and forgetful as I am, poor bloke!). He thinks it was (and it appears to have been) a large encylopedic tome devoted to extensive tables of formulae, integrals and series, and stuff like that. The formula in question is oo 1 1 1 SUM --- cos(k*x) = --- ln (-...

Andrew, can you please send this on to Linus and -stable ASAP? It's causing massive problems for our users.

...elderly lady phoned her telephone company to report that her telephone failed to ring when her friends called - and that on the few occasions when it did ring, her pet dog always moaned right before the phone rang. The telephone repairman proceeded to the scene, curious to see this psychic dog or senile elderly lady. He climbed a nearby telephone pole, hooked in his test set, and dialed the subscriber's house. The phone didn't ring right away, but then the dog moaned loudly and the telephone began to ring. Climbing down from the pole, the telephone repairman found: 1. The dog was tied t...

...for me, as it's got a pretty extensive list of area codes and exchanges that are known to be sinister in nature pre-loaded (probably needs updating, though...), but I figured that if I could block it in asterisk, to do so. Save the Rolm a wee bit of processing and all (it is old, and probably senile...) That, and I'd like to filter accidental '9911...' dials using this technique (which would dial 911 emergency, and that wouldn't be good, since I doubt faxes are a good method of calling in an emergency (unless they have a color fax and can discern that the red ink really isn...

...es" of Guinesse or Psyche because I could have swore I saw them on CD #1 in one of my sets (and not a Rawhide or Beta release). If anyone has the original Guinness or Psyche announcements from their RHN subscriptions, please send them to me off-line. I'd like to confirm I'm not going senile after all, although some would love to have proof of that. ;-> -- Bryan J. Smith mailto:b.j.smith at ieee.org

...stribution.) What I show here simply extracts an estimate and standard deviation from the data.frame returned by fitdist, and tries to compute a number of integrals. What I need is the number of events that can be expected next week, next month, and from now to the end of time. Unless I have gone senile in my old age, I have the integrals correct. Please correct me if I missed something. But what I need help (to refresh my memory - I used to know this way back in the stone age) to compute the confidence intervals for each of these integrals. So I don't bother anyone with similar elementary q...

Hi, In my reading of pairing means of two independent samples, I read statements such as the standard error of the meanof X1 minus the mean of X2 is the square root of s1^2/n1+s2^2/n2. Then I read: "We could now derive the two independent samples confidence interval and test statistic. However, a problem arises in that the distribution of the test statistic (under the null hypothesis) will

Hi - I apologize for the 2nd post, but I think my question from a few weeks ago may have been overlooked on a Friday afternoon. I might be missing something very obvious, but is it widely known that the aggregate function handles missing values differently depending if a data frame or a formula is the first argument ? For example, (d<- data.frame(sex=rep(0:1,each=3),
