I thought R users might be interested (surprised) to hear that R will have some competition on Linux now.

...more candidate functions I am happily on my way. One of the delights of reading r-help is that one keeps discovering useful functions. In the best of all possible worlds I could ask an intelligent agent to summon up the k-nearest neighbor functions that would "do X." Not likely. Years ago StatSci Europe published a handy little "Complete Listing of S-PLUS Functions", categorized in some way. I found it useful. Something similar for R would not go amiss. I know, it would want to be 420 pages rather than 42. ********************************************************** Cliff Lunneborg...

...nicate with it. How hard do folks think it would be to develop such an interface for R? I might try it, but I'm not completely sure I'm up to it (although it would exercise my programming skills). Also, I wonder again at the ethics of looking at the CASIM header files (which came from StatSci) when trying to work up an R interface -- although I notice that the header files say "CSIRO division of Mathematics and Statistics" on them rather than "StatSci" ...

Perhaps I've missed this in the FAQ, but has someone documented any tricks which can be used in R to optimize memory usage/execution time? For S+, StatSci used to recommend: 1. Avoid "for" loops whenever possible. 2. In "for" loops, have a simple expression, such as TRUE, as the last statement. 3. Allocate memory for a vector/array at one time, rather than building it up in a "for" loop using c(), rbind(), etc. 4. Execu...

...dn't try to find out) > If it has an advantage you should post to R-devel as a proposal I did propose it along time ago, but ... The fix was for a bug that Splus 3.2 and 3.3 have. It does not work properly with lists having an object with class length greater than 1. I reported it to StatSci and it was suppose to get fixed in 3.3 but didn't. I'm not sure about later versions. Having now just checked R, I see that R's summary.default has been changed. But the problem does not occur because another more serious incompatibility occurs first: z <- 1:3 class(z) <- c(&quot...

First, let me say how glad I am to discover R! As a former user of S at the University of Toronto and, briefly S-Plus from StatSci (I had a binary version of that on Slolaris for a while), I was really glad to find the "R" project. This is perhaps not your bug, but I did have one minor glitch in compiling R. OpenBSD 2.8's math.h does not export the "struct exception" unless you define __LIBM_PRIVATE. T...

1. I'm putting together my first package that uses S4 classes and objects. I'd like to document them, but I'm not sure what the documentation should look like, and package.skeleton doesn't produce any at all for the classes or methods. Are there any good examples to follow? 2. How do I do the equivalent of debug(foo), when foo is an anonymous function being used as a method?

Perhaps I missed something obvious, but when I applied patch 2 and then recompiled R-0.49, I found that the objects such as glm.fit that were supposed to be updated still had their original definitions. After some hair-pulling, I remembered that patch saves a backup copy of the original files it changes. Because of the way the makefile for the system database is structured, both the new files and
