This is a follow-up on the discussion originally posted on the R-devel list ( http://tolstoy.newcastle.edu.au/R/e4/devel/08/06/1901.html ), as I have encountered the exact same issue mentioned in Martin's email. Here is a simplified version of my problem: ##================================================================= ## I created a package, say, "tmpA", with a NAMESP...

...ot; to install it, it seems R only recognizes the .zip file created by "zip -r9X" not by PowerArchiver. Do you know why? I vaguely remember I used WinZip before and it worked fine.The two threads I found on R-help and R-devel help me a lot, but don't really answer my question.http://tolstoy.newcastle.edu.au/R/help/06/06/29587.htmlhttp://tolstoy.newcastle.edu.au/R/devel/05/12/3336.htmlThanks,...Tao _________________________________________________________________ Missed the show?  Watch videos of the Live Earth Concert on MSN.

Dear R users, I have multi-argument returns in a function and I am warned by the program they are deprecated. I have found this in the R-help archives : http://tolstoy.newcastle.edu.au/R/help/01c/0319.html http://tolstoy.newcastle.edu.au/R/help/01c/0356.html Since I am not too good at programming, the list solution seems the better one for me. It is also the one advocated by Kevin Murphy. So rather than writing return(x,y,z), I should write at the end of my fun...

Hi, I've been trying to pass a character vector from R to a FORTRAN subroutine. There have been several posts discussing this issue (e.g. http://tolstoy.newcastle.edu.au/R/help/98a/0547.html, http://tolstoy.newcastle.edu.au/R/help/05/10/13558.html, http://tolstoy.newcastle.edu.au/R/help/01a/2577.html, http://tolstoy.newcastle.edu.au/R/help/01c/1795.html, http://tolstoy.newcastle.edu.au/R/devel/03a/0620.html, http://tolstoy.newcastle.edu.au/R/devel/...

...of curiosity, what is the difference between the terms for package and library ? Why are we loading a package with the library() command ? If this is a case of RTFM, I would be happy to do so if pointed in the right direction. I have searched the FAQ and mail archives and only came up with http://tolstoy.newcastle.edu.au/R/help/05/02/12162.html but this still does not explain what is the requirement/features of a package vs. library. Does this question not qualify to be included in the FAQs. Thank you Regards, Adai

Hello, I have difficulties combining boxes and lines in plot legend. I searched previous R-posts and found this (with no solution): http://tolstoy.newcastle.edu.au/R/help/06/07/30248.html.

Hi, A previous thread suggests that R on Windows is multi-threaded http://tolstoy.newcastle.edu.au/R/help/03b/6946.html When I'm running R 2.5.1 on a dual core pc I get Rgui.exe uses up to 50% of the available cpu and the rest is not used. i.e. it only uses one cpu. I'm soon going to get a nice shiny new 8 cpu machine which it would be very nice to fully utilize. Is th...

Dear all, I already posted a question regarding this to an existing thread: http://tolstoy.newcastle.edu.au/R/e2/devel/06/10/0852.html#start I apologize for the double posting but I have some further information that might be illuminating. I am trying to cross-compile my R-package under ubuntu linux, kernel 2.6.17-10-generic, on an IBM T60. I am following the suggested steps in http:/...

Hello, I would like to try to fit a GEE with user-specified link function. I read through a couple of thread on the list, for example http://tolstoy.newcastle.edu.au/R/help/04/12/9768.html#start and http://tolstoy.newcastle.edu.au/R/help/06/04/25298.html. I noticed that they are all 6 or more years old and the answer is very clear for GLM, however for GEE I am still not sure. There are two existing package for GEE. One is called gee and anther...

This seems to be a common topic. I really _have_ looked at the archives before posting, though, and can't find anything that covers this. I'm backing up an entire server over the net, except for a few excluded files: echo `date` >/var/log/rsync.tolstoy /usr/bin/rsync -avHz --stats --delete --numeric-ids --exclude=/sys --exclude=/home/backup --exclude=/monthly / backup@tolstoy:/backup/chekov >>/var/log/rsync.tolstoy 2>&1 The backup works great. However, I've got a bunch of obsolete directories in /home which I erased. On...

Hi R-users, Following this post http://tolstoy.newcastle.edu.au/R/help/06/06/28965.html , how do I get last two rows (or six or ten) by id group out of the data frame? Here the example gives just the last row. Sincere thanks, Lauri [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

...not sorted alphabetically, m[f] and m[as.character(f)] yield different results. m[f] is actually equivalent to m[as.numeric(f)].
