Hi everyone! I'm trying to lear how to call external C code in R but even the R help web-page example is drive me crazy. I copy-paste the example at: http://stat.ethz.ch/R-manual/R-patched/doc/manual/R-exts.html#Interface%20functions%20.C%20and%20.Fortran here is the example: void convolve(double *a, int *na, double *b, int *nb, double *ab) { int i, j, nab = *na + *nb - 1; for(i = 0;

Hi everyone, I want to create my own distance measure, other than 'euclidean' or 'manhatan', to use in cluster pckgs. To do this I think that I need to change dist(), in mva pckg, or daisy(), in cluster pckg. (or is there a cleaver way ?) But this functions are in fact things like: .Fortran( "daisy", ... ) or .C("dist",...). I tried unsuccessfully to find

Hi everybody, please, could you give me help ? I scanned the help archives and didn't found hints... I want to solve a large sparse linear system subjected to an inequality constrains (all solutions positive) and an equality constrain (all solutions sum to 1), thus I tried to fool constrOptim using: x[1] + 0 + ... + 0 >= 0 ... 0 + 0 + ... + x[n] >= 0 x[1] + x[2] + ... +

Hi, I think that there something wrong with the 'constrOptim' max/minimization function because she doesn?t send extra arguments to 'optim' call. Fact: When I use optim in a f(x,theta)-like function, everything goes ok. But using constrOptim with the same function leads to error... Proof: Make a small change in the 'Rosenbrock Banana function' (taken from the Examples
