...pts to contact the maintainer have been unsuccessful, but my question is general, so specifics of the kinship package might not be an issue. My first attempt was to make a new function Plot.pedigree in the .GlobalEnv which mostly achieved what I wanted to. However, I'm sure that's not the tidiest way to do it. We don't have the green book, but there's lots of interesting information I found here: http://www.stat.auckland.ac.nz/S-Workshop/Gentleman/S4Objects However, there's something I'm missing in connecting that information into knowledge of how I go about making a new...

...script function that does just that simply by setting title = file. I always use onefile = TRUE, so it always works (so far). However, I'm a little reluctant to do that in case some future changes cause conflicts. I've been warned off tinkering with .Internal My question is: What is the tidiest way of doing such a thing? Should I make a private function that calls the standard postscript function, or should I go the whole hog and make an S4 type method to handle it? Or would it be simpler for the standard function to be changed (assuming, of course, there aren't good reasons against...

Having to collect hourly electricity loads and quarter-of-an-hour electricity production data for some years I think that the tidiest way of doing it is to resort to ts but I don't know how to define such a frequency starting from a set date. Leafing through r-help mail archives I've found this *ALMOST* satisfactory message: ========================================================== ......... > I have a series of hou...

I''ve been analyzing our Unicorn-powered Rails app''s performance, and have found that garbage collection is a big factor in slow requests. In the interest of avoiding those performance hits while handling requests, would it be possible to have a unicorn worker run garbage collection after handling a request and before waiting for the next one? Would this be a good idea? Cheers,

...Assumptions in libtheora assume that the element 'internal_encoder' (and maybe others) is initialised to NULL. This declaration doesn't guarantee that condition and this turned out to be the cause of problems I was experiencing in my player. A simple memset() did the trick; not the tidiest of solutions but I couldn't use theora_clear() from libtheora because this makes NULLness assumptions on the structure as well. Maybe a modification to theora_decode_init() to clear the appropriate fields? -- Cheers, Jay http://www.evilrealms.net/ - Systems Administrator & Developer...

Hi, I''m developing a RESTful Rails application whose code and specs are becoming increasingly repetitive: every controller does pretty much the same set of things (give or take the occasional twiddle), for example, and so every controller spec is almost identical modulo some names, constants and strings. The make_resourceful plugin, which autogenerates the boilerplate REST

Dear R users, Can anyone please tell me how to generate a large number of samples in R, given certain distribution and size. For example, if I want to generate 1000 samples of size n=100, with a N(0,1) distribution, how should I proceed? (Since I dont want to do "rnorm(100,0,1)" in R for 1000 times) Thanks for help Debbie
