Full_Name: John Gavin Version: 2.1.0 patched 18-04-05 OS: windows XP SP2 Submission from: (NULL) (139.149.1.203) Hi, I suspect that there may be a bug in utils::setRepositories(). Starting with > getOption("repos") CRAN CRANextra "@CRAN@"

I have some questions and observations about these: Will these replace manually setting options(CRAN), which doesn't work in R-2.1.0? In R-2.1.0, setRepositories() looks to see if options("repos") contains a CRAN entry and will not override that CRAN entry even if the $R_HOME/etc/repositories file (which setRepositories reads from) contains a CRAN entry. Why is this? The user

Hi, all. I was trying to build my R package with R 2.15.1 32bit and win7. I basically follow the routine in Steven Mosher's blog http://stevemosher.wordpress.com/step-10-build/ After I fixed the path, and built the skeleton of the package, I started command prompt and used the following commands in building my package Rcmd check myPackageName Rcmd build myPackageName Rcmd check

Dear Lists, I got the chance to review Bob Muenchen's book - R for SAS and SPSS users. While my detailed review is online at www.decisionstats.com, the book is a welcome addition in R Textbooks for beginners and an especially nice one for people who have experience in SAS and /or SPSS languages. AT 50 USD, it's reasonably priced for all geographies (;) , and quite handy as a refernce book

R and its GUI Rattle helped me establish a data mining consulting startup on my own, without taking bank credit . People I met on the forum and especially books like rforsasandspssusers.com/ <http://rforsasandspssusers.com/> helped me ease the transition to the new Object Oriented method from the earlier - even a monkey can create shakespeare if he types enough kind of analytics software.

Hello, I was wondering if anyone has run across this problem in the past and might be able to suggest a solution. I did a review of the FAQ's link trying to find a topic that closely related to the experience I was having, however I didn't see anything that might help in diagnosing the problem. While invoking the options under the "package" menu I get the following errors:

Dear all, My gRbase package imports functionality from the bioconductor packages graph, Rgraphviz and RBGL. To make installation of gRbase easy, I would like to have these bioconductor packages installed in connection with installation of gRbase, but to do so the user must use setRepositories() to make sure that R also installs packages from bioconductor. Having to call setRepositories causes

Hi All, I have substantially expanded the table that compares SAS and SPSS add-on modules to somewhat equivalent R packages. This new version is at: http://r4stats.com/add-on-modules and I would very much appreciate any feedback you might have on it. The site http://r4stats.com is the replacement to http://RforSASandSPSSusers.com and includes the support files for both "R for SAS and SPSS

Dear R-helpers, I know of two ways to reading data within an R program, using textConnection and stdin (demo program below). I've Googled about and looked in several books for comparisons of the two approaches but haven't found anything. Are there any particular advantages or disadvantages to these two approaches? If you were teaching R beginners, which would you present? Thanks, Bob

install/update.packages will have a lot of changes in 2.1.0, and I have been adding some widgets to go along with this. - Rather than just CRAN and BIOC, you have a character vector of repositories. There is a function setRepositories() to set the appropriate option(). - There is no default CRAN, but a function chooseCRANmirror() to set a mirror, which is invoked if you try to access

I tried to install "segmented" from three different repositories but I keep getting the following message on R window: ... Please, advice where to find this package. Thank you in advance.

Hi, I have two installs of Xen 4.0.1 on Debian squeeze dom0s that occasionally skew the time by 3000 seconds. It is always 3000 seconds and it always affects all guests. Depending on the kernels in the guests they will say: tp0 kernel: [9339489.266542] Clocksource tsc unstable (delta = -2999660317697 ns) or perhaps the kernel doesn''t notice but ntpd does: ls0 ntpd[15009]:

SEND TO STDERR: Currently utils::menu() and utils::select.list() with graphics=FALSE queries the user via the standard output (stdout). I'd like to suggest to do this via standard error (stderr) instead, or at least have an option to choose which output stream. If they would send to stderr, they could also be used in various report generators that capture stdout and redirect to the generated
