I am using numerical optimization to fit a 1 parameter model, in which the input parameter is bounded. I am currently using optimize(), however, the problem turns out to have local minima, and optimize does not always seem to find the global minimum. I could to write a wrapping function that tries multiple intervals or starting values, but I would prefer a package that has built-in methods to make

I would like to print some tables and figures to a PDF device on a CentOS 5 vps. However, I cannot seem to get the latex function from Hmisc working. I followed the example, and got an error: sh: xdvi: command not found. I tried installing the 'tetex-xdvi' linux package, and now it returns: Error: Can't open display. I guess the reason for this is that the machine is a VPS terminal, so

I have a list object, in which I have stored n lme4-models. For example: library(lme4); myModels <- list(); myModels[1] <- lmer(Reaction ~ Days + (Days|Subject), sleepstudy) myModels[2] <- lmer(Reaction ~ Days + (1|Subject) + (0+Days|Subject), sleepstudy) Now I would like to perform an anova over all models in the list. However, the anova function requires that every model is inserted

I am currently using the package 'adapt' for multivariate integration. However this package seems to be removed from CRAN (It is still referred to in the help file for integrate(stats) though). I assume it has been deprecated for a reason? Is there an alternative for multivariate numerical integration? ----- Jeroen Ooms * Dept. of Methodology and Statistics * Utrecht University Visit

I would like to convert a dataframe to an array of lists, one for every record. A natural choide is apply as.list to the rows. However, as it seems, as.list() automatically converts all list elements to the same datatype. Eg: myData <- data.frame(a="foo",b=as.logical(rbinom(10,1,.5))); apply(myData,1,as.list); In this output, all boolean values have been converted to character

I am making a little GUI for lme4, and I was wondering if there is a function that automatically detects on which level every variable exists. Furtheremore I got kind of confused about what a random effects model actually calculates. I have some experience with commercial software packages for multilevel analysis, like HLM6, and I was surprised that lme4 does not require the user to specify the

I think that this is because `[<-` dispatches on S4 methods only if the first argument is S4. ?"[<-" says: "These operators are also implicit S4 generics, but as primitives, S4 methods will be dispatched only on S4 objects ?x?."

I would like to get some idea of which R-packages are popular, and what R is used for in general. Are there any statistics available on which R packages are downloaded often, or is there something like a package-survey? Something similar to http://popcon.debian.org/ maybe? Any tips are welcome! ----- Jeroen Ooms * Dept. of Methodology and Statistics * Utrecht University Visit

We recently started noticing freezes that appear only on 32bit systems (both linux and windows) with a relatively recent versions of R 3.2.0, including the RC. It looks like the problem can be traced back to the use of R_ObjectTables (see R_ext/Callbacks.h) The problem is a bit difficult to reproduce because it does not appear on x64 and because the official R interface to this functionality, the

I have setup a Solaris server to test packages before submitting to CRAN, in order to catch problems that might not reveal themselves on Fedora, Debian, OSX or Windows. The machine runs a Solaris 11.2 vm with Solaris Studio 12.3. I was able to compile current r-devel using the suggested environment variables from "R Installation and Administration" and: ./configure

When building R-devel with gcc 5.2.0 (mingw-w64 v4) on Windows, make check fails reg-tests-1b.R at the following check: x <- c(1:2, NA) sx <- sd(x) !is.nan(sx) Here 'sx' should be 'NA' but it is 'NaN'. It turns out this problem only appears when the function is byte compiled with optimization level 3: mysd <- function (x, na.rm = FALSE) sqrt(var(if

Thanks a lot for your answer Jeroen! I should have mentioned that I had actually only checked with the win-builder, as I did not have R-devel installed on my computer. But based on your answer I installed R-devel locally on a Linux-server (Redhat), and the package could be checked without the NOTE. So you might be right that this is a windows issue. However, another package that I am maintaining

So this wasn't tested for a month? Anyways, Free() is just free() with a check that we're not freeing a null pointer, followed by setting the pointer to NULL. At that point of tcltk.c, we have for (objc = i = 0; i < length(avec); i++){ const char *s; char *tmp; if (!isNull(nm) && strlen(s = translateChar(STRING_ELT(nm, i)))){ // tmp =

Given an externalptr object 'pool' which protects an R object 'prot': # SEXP prot = (a dynamically updated list with handles) SEXP pool = R_MakeExternalPtr(p, R_NilValue, prot); R_RegisterCFinalizerEx(pool, fin_pool, TRUE); WRE explains that 'prot' remains in existence as long as 'pool' is around. Does this also mean 'prot' still exists when the
