I was obviously fascinated by Duncan's earlier message on RXLisp. I managed to build a working version of RXLisp for OS X, by some unabashed and rather uninformed hacking. I compiled XLISP-STAT using the gcc flags -fno-common and --no-cpp-precomp (not sure if they are necessary or not, they are part of an older hack). I "make libxlisp.so", using Dunc...

Dear all, One of my friends asked me if it is possible to extract actual R function arguments literally (precisely, as strings). The reason is simple. He feels sometimes awkward to attach quotation marks :-). What he actually wants is to pass R command arguments to XLisp subroutines (He has been an enthusiastic XLisp user for a long time and still tends to use R as a wrapper to XLisp). Is it possible, or should I advise him not to be so lazy? The following is his simple example to explain the situation. R function "lc" which passes its argument to an Xli...

Dear R users, I was trying to install the package RXLisp by Duncan Temple Lang on a MDK 9.1 Linux machine running R 1.8.0 installed from a RPM. Unfortunately I had a problem loading the shared library into R. Since I'm a Linux newbie I was not able to solve the problem. Maybe some of you can help me. First of all I downloaded the source archive for...

I have been taking a break for the last month or so, and am only just now catching up on my email. Otherwise, I would have joined this discussion earlier. And... I apologize for the length of this, but I don't think it is overly long. >From the amount of activity in the LispStat news group (none), it seems that LispStat is dead. We all know that Luke is working on R and not on LispStat,

So far, I had made RXLisp by putting all foo.o from XLISP-STAT in an archive, and linking that into RXLisp.so. I have gotten somewhat further in using dynamic libraries. Here is what I now do. in XLS 1. Copy xlisp modifications from RXLisp 2. configure --host=powerpc-apple-darwin6.2 3. make libxlisp.so CC="gcc -fno-co...

...?comments have been made by research statisticians on the ease of programming in S and Splus as opposed to SAS. If the programming language is a natural extension of mathematical notation, this translates into ease and speed of development. This was found to be true in the past with APL, Splus and XLISP-STAT. We have found that Mathematica provides even more capability. However, for advanced state-of-the-art research and teaching in applied statistics and data analysis, R, Splus or XLISP-STAT may still be advantageous due to the wide usage by many leading researchers and the high quality functions...

Do you know what I really, really miss in R that I took fopr granted in my XLisp-Stat programming days??? The ability to easily create menus and dialog boxes. I could write little applications and give them out to clients. It was wonderful. It would at least allow each person to begin to build one's own menu driven version. Just a thought!!

1) I installed the latest ESS (Emacs Speaks Statistics) beta release on a machine running Linux. Since there is no S-PLUS product for Linux, I set the ess-site.el file for R, xlisp-stat, and S version 4.

I have written some programs in Common Lisp and I have been using SAS to pipe those programs to my lisp compiler in batch mode by using the %xlog and %xlst SAS commands. I wonder if there is in R a similar way to pipe commands to LISP so that all my work would be concentrated in R even when I have to call a LISP program? I have looked at the foreign library but this seems to adjust data types not

A small FORTRAN-Program that allowed to type in the data interactively also didn't care about the order of the size or sum of the samples, which makes me conclude the reason is somewhere in R. Any ideas? If the problem is very obvious, please have mercy with a pure user of R, who makes...

Dear R-help, I was recently wanting to use GEE with the negative binomial "family". It seems that this is lacking in the otherwise excellent implementations of the GEE methodology ( packages: gee, yags, geepack). I would have thought it a simple step to allow the creation of a family, i.e providing the link function (log mu) and the variance function (mu + mu^2/theta) , assuming theta

And finally, for something completely different. I am contemplating teaching a course on `Statistical Computing' next semester.

Johannes Huesing sent a message to stat-lisp-news at stat.umn.edu regarding an article in Linux-Magazin (German) on statistical software for Linux. I enclose excerpts. Can anyone summarize what was said about R in the article? If there is a web site for the article I would appreciate learning of the URL. I must admit, though, the my abilities in German are much less impressive than the

...ain...' However, such views could be dangerous to the whole 'R-open-source-half-way-anarchistic-philosophy' as I see it). I would expect that it would be possible to improve S3 in a simpler way - perhaps S3.5 could be an option.. My first experience with statistical computing was with xlisp-stat which has a very nice (as I remember it) object system which is well explained in Luke Tierneys book. I wonder if that could serve as an inspiration for anyone who is interested in writing an 'S4 for dummies'... Best regards S??ren H??jsgaard ____________________________...
