Hi all, When I install a new package, and don't yet know any function names, I have to play the "poor man's game" to get to the standard help system "Index" page for the package: Poor Man's Game -=20 Load new package;=20 issue search() command; find position (say N) of loaded package;=20 issue objects(pos =3D N) command; get name of a random function (san

Hi, I was wondering if it is possible to create a hyperlink in a csv file using R code and some package. For example, in the following code: links <- cbind(rep('Click for Google',3),"google search address goes here") ## R Mailing list blocks if I put the actual web address here write.table(links,'test.csv', sep=',',row.names=F,col.names=F) the web address

Hello, I wrote a function to show the help/index page of a package in a browser (and want to include this in an update for a CRAN package). I asked in R-help how to obtain the 00Index.html file, Duncan Murdoch suggested to inspect (see http://r.789695.n4.nabble.com/Obtain-00Index-html-tt4697661.html) tools:::httpd (thank you therefore!). So I came up with: help.index <- function (pkg,

Dear useR, Just wandering whether it is possible that there is any function in R could let me get the text contents for a certain website. Thanks a lot! Best, Leon [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Dear Fellow R Users, I have recently come across a weird problem with help.search: > help.search("tps") Error in rbind(...) : number of columns of matrices must match (see arg 8) > This happens no matter what I search for... Any thoughts ? Thanks, Tolga Please follow the attached hyperlink to an important disclaimer

I'm still getting used to R's scoping. I've run into the following situation value=0 thefunction <- function() print( value ) somefunction <- function() { value=99; thefunction() } somefunction() now, I understand that somefunction() returns 0 because thefunction() was defined with value=0 in its parent envrionment, it dosent look at all in the environment of somefunction. My

Checking CRAN today, I see that on the Sources page http://cran.r-project.org/sources.html that R-3.0.2.tar.gz is still there. R-3.0.3.tar.gz is available from the Older releases are available >>here<<. hyperlink to http://cran.r-project.org/src/base/ Is this the right place to report this, for an update to the Sources page?

Hi all I do not understand why I am getting the following error message. Can anybody help me with this? Thanks in advance. install.packages("cmprsk") library(cmprsk) result1 <-crr(ftime, fstatus, cov1, failcode=1, cencode=0 ) one.pout1 = predict(result1,cov1,X=cbind(1,one.z1,one.z2)) predict.crr(result1,cov1,X=cbind(1,one.z1,one.z2)) Error: could not find function

I have a quick question about the browseURL function. When I use the function in a UNIX environment, I have to use two sets of quotations if I have the & symbol in the URL. For Windows I only need to use the first set. For example, on Windows: browseURL("http://search.yahoo.com/search?p=Bioconductor&ei=UTF-8&fr=fp-tab-web-t&n=20&fl=0&x=wrt") will call up the

Dear Prof Gray and everyone, As our package developers discussed about incompatibility between Design and survival packages, I faced another problem with cmprsk- a survival dependent packacge. The problem is exactly similar to what happened to the Design package that when I just started running cuminc function, R was suddenly closed. These incidents suggest that maybe many other survival

Inspired by the functions that Barry Rawlingson and Dave Forrest posted for searching Rwiki and R-help archive, I've made up a function that does the search on Prof. Baron's site (Thanks to Prof. Baron's help on setting up the query string!): RSiteSearch <- function(string, restrict="Rhelp", format="long", sortby="score",

I was cursing Matlab again today (what else is new) because the default action for every Matlab command is to spew the result to the console, and one must remember to put that darn ";" at the end of every line. So I just wondered: was there ever a discussion as to providing some modified version of the "<-" and "->" operators in R to do the reverse?

I saw that in rgl:::writeWebGL that "Polygons will only be rendered as filled; there is no support in WebGL for wireframe or point rendering.". I found that you can easily use contour3d to make reproducible contour web figures, such as (taken from contour3d help) library(AnalyzeFMRI) a <- f.read.analyze.volume(system.file("example.img", package=

R-2.0.0, WinNT / WinXP: options(chmhelp=TRUE) ?dnorm # does not work! ?Normal # works! Looks like calling compiled html help does not work for aliases, but only for the title of help pages... And a quick fix without changing the design is to change lines 136-137 in .../src/library/utils/R/help.R as follows: - err <- .C("Rchtml", hlpfile, topic, - err =

Dear R users, I d like to assess the effect of "treatment" covariate on a disease relapse risk with the package cmprsk. However, the effect of this covariate on survival is time-dependent (assessed with cox.zph): no significant effect during the first year of follow-up, then after 1 year a favorable effect is observed on survival (step function might be the correct way to say that ?).
