I'm looking for a way to approximate the "zero-overhead" model of code reuse available in languages like Python, Perl, etc. I've described this idea in more detail, and the motivation for this question in an earlier post to R-help (https://stat.ethz.ch/pipermail/r-help/2016-September/442174.html). (One of the responses I got advised that I post my question here instead.) The

Hi Frederick, I described what I meant in the post I sent to R-help (https://stat.ethz.ch/pipermail/r-help/2016-September/442174.html), but in brief, by "zero overhead" I mean that the only thing needed for library code to be accessible to client code is for it to be located in designed directory. No additional meta-files, packaging/compiling, etc. are required. Best, G. On Sun, Oct

I''m *not* looking for vendor recommendations or dis-recommendations -- I''m looking for the right *questions*, not the right answers :-) I''m giving a talk in a couple of weeks which has to include a segment on how to pick a good shared hosting service. The audience are institutional clients looking to support web-apps ranging from organizational intranets to

Hi. I'm pretty new to R, but I've been programming in other languages for some time. I have a couple of questions regarding programming with function objects. 1. Is there a way for a function to refer generically to all its actual arguments as a list? I'm thinking of something like the @_ array in Perl or the arguments variable in JavaScript. (By "actual" I mean the ones

Hi, For software development, projects are built through makefile. After building, I can run binary program. rpm is more convenient. Is there some tool that can build rpm? Thanks! Regards Andrew

Let me preface my question by stressing that I am much less interested in the answer than in learning a way I could have *found the answer myself*. (As helpful as the participants in this list are, I have far too many R-related questions to resolve by posting here, and as I've written before, in my experience the R documentation has not been very helpful, but I remain hopeful that I may have

I'm an experienced programmer, but learning R is making me lose the little hair I have left... > list(NULL) [[1]] NULL > length(list(NULL)) [1] 1 > x <- list() > x[[1]] <- NULL > x list() > length(x) [1] 0 >From the above experiment, it is clear that, although one can create a one-element list consisting of a NULL element, one can't get the same result by

Hello, I''m a big bookworm, so I decided to round up all the upcoming Ruby books in the market in one big blog post. At my count, there are _sixteen_ books to be released (in print) for the upcoming year, with some available in pdf form right now. Here''s the list: http://www.robsanheim.com/2006/03/23/ruby-and-ruby-on-rails-book-roundup/ Hope its helpful for fellow book nerds

In my job I write custom computer programs for data analysis, which are used in our company's consulting business. Whenever I've needed statistical analyses I've coded the algorithms myself, but my boss wants me to start learning and using R, to speed up development. I am very reluctuant to do this because I can't find adequate *programming* documentation for R (though I can find

Folks I am using sendmail as my mail server. SELINUX is disabled. I observe messages in Centos 7 (and 6) in /var/log/messages, similar to: saslauthd[2765]: do_auth : auth failure: [user=bettie] [service=smtp] [realm=] [mech=pam] [reason=PAM auth error] I guess that this is because somebody tried to access one of the SMTP ports with a logon attempt. This is understandable; there are

Hi, I'm trying to figure out how to use lme() for analyzing a split-plot experiment. I've been looking at the examples from the 'R Book', those are nested but with only one factor at the whole-plot level, my test is 2^2 at the whole-plot level, with a single many level factor at the sub-plot level. My question is about properly specifying the random effects part of the model,

Hi all, Over the past 10 years, there has been some discussion and several patches concerning keystroke timing being revealed by the timing of openssh packet network transmission. The issue is that keystroke timing is correlated with the plaintext, and openssh users expect their communications to be kept entirely secret. Despite some excellent ideas and patches, such as Jason Coit's

At the moment I've no host with which to test ppp/lp things on. If you (or anyone) could provide complete regexes, (each beginning with ^ and ending with $) I will patch the rules accordingly. If not, sending the full log lines is a good start. Thanks! -- [ Todd J. Troxell ,''`. Student, Debian GNU/Linux Developer, SysAdmin, Geek :

I'm trying to read two data sets in json format from a single .js file. I've tried fromJSON() in both RJSONIOIO and RJSON packages, but they require that the lines be pre-parsed somehow in ways I don't understand.

Hi, I'm new to R, and trying to map stuff I knew how to do in Matlab to R. For instances, in matlab, sum(x) gave the column sums of matrix(/vector) x. In R it just gives the sum of all the elements, regardless of their form (vector or matrix). Is there a simple way to return a vector of column sums for a matrix? Also, in Matlab binary operators exist for concatenating a matrix onto the end or
