Hi, people. I met a little problem for which someone might have a solution. Let's say I have an executable file (named "pp.R") with this contents: #!/usr/bin/Rscript options(echo=TRUE) a <- 1 Sys.sleep(3) a <- 2 If I execute "./pp.R" at the shell prompt, the output shows the timely progress of the script as expected. If I use "./pp.R | tee

Dear developeRs, Compilation of the latest version (0.9-5) of my actuar package fails with r-release MacOS_X ix86 on CRAN; see http://www.R-project.org/nosvn/R.check/r-release-macosx-ix86/actuar-00check.html All errors come from accented letters in comments in latin-1 encoded files (except hierarc.R which is in UTF-8, my bad). Encoding is declared as latin-1 in DESCRIPTION. The package

Hi, people. The output produced by "?options" contains: 'expressions': sets a limit on the number of nested expressions that will be evaluated. Valid values are 25...500000 with default 1000. [...] and a bit further down: The 'factory-fresh' default settings of some of these options are [...] 'expressions'

Hi, people. Executing the following command: hist(rpois(100,5), labels=TRUE) yields a graphic in which some labels are truncated (on an X11 device). The truncated labels are those over the highest bars. The hist function should ideally manage enough room for the labels, automatically. (Specifying ylim solves my problem, but yet, hist could be frienlier.) --please do not edit the

Dear R users, I need to reorder a dataframe using 3 variables for the determine the sorting order. When I create a simple dataframe to test the method, things work as I expected: a1 <- rep(1:10, each=8) a2 <- rep(rep(1:2, each=4), 10) a3 <- rep(c(1:4),20) (a <- data.frame(a1, a2, a3)) for each combination of a1 and a2, a3 is increasing t <- order(a$a1, a$a2, rev(a$a3)) b

Hi, R friends. I had some difficulty with the following code: qqnorm(freq, log='y') qqline(freq) as the line drawn was seemingly random. The exact data I used appears below. After wandering a bit within the source code for "abline", I figured out I should rather write: qqnorm(freq, log='y') par(ylog=FALSE) qqline(log10(freq)) par(ylog=TRUE)

Hi, I often have to do this: select a folder (directory) containing a few hundred data files in csv format (up to 1000 files, in fact) open each file, transform some character variables in date-tiime format make into a dataframe (involves getting rid of a few variables I don't need concatenate to the master dataframe that will eventually contain the data from all the files in the

Hi, I don't understand the following. When I create a small artificial set of date information in class POSIXct, I can calculate the mean and the median: a = as.POSIXct(Sys.time()) a = a + 60*0:10; a [1] "2009-03-10 11:30:16 EDT" "2009-03-10 11:31:16 EDT" "2009-03-10 11:32:16 EDT" [4] "2009-03-10 11:33:16 EDT" "2009-03-10 11:34:16

Hello, I am running: R version 2.10.0 (2009-10-26) Copyright (C) 2009 The R Foundation for Statistical Computing ISBN 3-900051-07-0 on a RedHat Linux box with 48Gb of memory. I am trying to create a model.matrix for a big model on a moderately large data set. It seems there is a size limitation to this model.matrix. > dim(coll.train) [1] 677236 128 > coll.1st.model.mat <-

Thanks to Frank Harrell, Brian Ripley, Andy Liaw, Jeff Laake and Sean Davis for their usefull comments regarding "navigation" between valid R directories. Jeff recommanded the Mark Bravington package that can be found at: (ftp://ftp.marine.csiro.au/software/bravington/). I looked at the package and found that it can do a lot more than what I asked for. At this time I was not prepared

Hello there, apologies for cross-posting my question is not an S/R question but there is so much knowledge concentrated in those lists that I thought someone could point me in the right direction. A few months ago I read an article in a referenced journal comparing some data mining programs, among which there was Insightful's I Miner, SAS' Entreprise Miner, SPSS' Clementine (I think)

Hello there, I spent all day yesterday trying to get a small data set from Splus into R, no luck! Both, Splus and R, are run on a 64-bit RedHat Linux machine, the versions of the softwares are 64-bit and are as what follows: Splus: TIBCO Software Inc. Confidential Information Copyright (c) 1988-2008 TIBCO Software Inc. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED. TIBCO Spotfire S+ Version 8.1.1 for Linux 2.6.9-34.EL,

Hello R-users, is it possible to navigate from one workspace to the other from within an R session or does one has to close R and restart it from the directory where resides the desired workspace? For example from Splus I have this little function, see at the end, which I used all the time to navigate between valid Splus directories. I find this particularly usefull when I develop new

Hi, what to do with this? thanks in advance [serge@rex serge]$ wine write.exe Invoking /opt/wine/bin/wine.bin write.exe ... For language 'fr' several language ids were found: fr_FR - 040C; fr_BE - 080C; fr_CA - 0C0C; fr_CH - 100C; fr_LU - 140C; Instead of using first in the list, suggest to define your LANG environment variable like this: LANG=fr_FR Wine exited with a successful status

Hello R-users, thanks to Brian Ripley and Roger Peng for there prompt replies on installing R on a Solaris 64-bit machine. R is now running and seems to be doing fine. I realy would like to have access to the manuals so I can climb most of the learning curve on my own -- I am a long time user of Splus, hence I am not expecting the learning curve to be too steep. On the Sun machine that R is

Hi, people. ?alist says: 'alist' is like 'list', except in the handling of tagged arguments with no value. As written, this description is misleading. For example: > list(e=3+5) $e [1] 8 > alist(e=3+5) $e 3 + 5 We are not in the situation of tagged arguments with no value, and then, clearly, 'list' and 'alist' behave

Hi, R people. Consider the following small R session: ======================================================================> > a <- c(8.48, 9.58, 9.96) > stem(a) The decimal point is at the | 8 | 8 | 5 9 | 9 | 6 10 | 0 > stem(round(a,1)) The decimal point is at the | 8 | 5 9 | 9 | 6 10 | 0

I noticed that R scripts produce a spurious white line after output. For example, the following shell script, #!/bin/sh R --slave --vanilla <<EOF cat("Hello\n") EOF when made executable under the name ``hello`` along the search path, behaves like this: $ hello | od -bc 0000000 110 145 154 154 157 012 012 H e l l o \n \n 0000007 The second newline is
