similar to: Slow survfit -- is there a faster alternative?

Using R 2.10 on Windows: I have a filtered database of 650k event observations in a data frame with 20+ variables. I'd like to be able to quickly generate estimate and plot survival curves. However the survfit and cph() functions are extremely slow. As an example: I tried results.cox<-coxph(Surv(duration, success) ~ start_time + factor1+ factor2+ variable3, data=filteredData) #(took a

I''m thinking about how to set up the processes for Production puppet runs now. Being ultra-conservative here, we''d like to see what would happen before pressing the red button. I can run in noop mode, and everything is evaluated but nothing is done. A YAML report magically appears on the Puppetmaster which my script parses and spits out something the management can read

Hello I want to share some common subroutines between my custom functions. Given the way Puppet loads the .rb files in $plugindest/puppet/parser/functions, does anyone know how should I lay this out? I tried creating a module myutilities def self.blah() ... end end (NOT within the newfunction() call) in one of the (top-level) functions'' .rb file. However, calling

Anyone think it would be useful to have files backed up to the filebucket even if they are not controlled by Puppet? 1 vote here.

Hi all I''m working on my modular recursive Makefile & svn-backed home for my Puppet manifests, custom functions, types, etc. So I''m trying to put together individual modules, test targets and so on. I have noticed that the $libdir (and probably the other configuration options too) sources from puppet.conf are not overridden by specifying --libdir=blah on the commmand line

Hi. I''d like to use exception handling in my custom facts. For example, in plain Ruby: begin buildno = '''' bcrelease = open("/etc/BCrelease") while (line = bcrelease.gets) line = line.chomp buildno = $1 if line =~ /^Build:\s+(\d+)/ end bcrelease.close print "#{buildno}\n" rescue print "No

One more error/warning from the latest Puppet from git: In the provider I have KEYS = Facter.value(:roothome) + "/.ssh/authorized_keys" Puppet::Type.type(:authorizedkey).provide(:parsed, ... I get an error on the Puppetmaster: Could not autoload "/usr/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/puppet/provider/authorizedkey/parsed.rb": undefined method `+'' for nil:NilClass Could not

Maybe it works, maybe it doesn''t, but I sure as hell can''t make it work. I get stuck with "Could not find object(s)" whatever I do This is my module init.pp class ztest::setup { notice "MAIN SETUP CLASS" file { directfile: path => "/etc/directfile", owner => root, group => root, mode => 0644, content

I''ve been having great "fun" testing the new (Puppetised) build end-to-end for several days now. The majority of the fun has been coming from vendor packages (no names mentioned), typically with conflicting permissions on files, or perhaps different home directories, UIDs for the app users so it matters in which order you do things in. My current methodology is to go through

Dear all I''ve gotten into the habit of including SVN headers in my templates, etc so it is easy to see where the file installed into /etc/puppet/ came from. Furthermore, we use svn cp to create release branches. Therefore, you''ll see something like this: # $Id: dumpadm.conf 1239 2007-10-23 16:04:06Z sa_dewha $ # $URL:

Hello, I''m scratching my head as to the best way to plug in a script to do some client configuration. The script is about 40 lines long (full of basic instructions to fiddle with VCS in fact). Lots of execs would seems cumbersome. My thoughts are to simply install this to the client (via the fileserver) and exec out to it. Does this seem sensible? And if so, be aware of things like

Can pxelinux be used to chain other *network* bootloaders directly? I.e., keep the pxe stack but replace itself with an alternate network boot loader (eg, the intel nbp, or, more specificly, an arbitrary bootloader for another OS)? I'm sure this is an obvious FAQ but I can't find reference to it (sorry). Obviously memdisk could be used to load other OSes, but I have been given a strict

Hello all, I''m thinking about a configuration class that, amongst other things execs out to a ''dangerous'' configuration script. I''d like to make this a noop by default, so the operator has to try a bit harder to invoke it. So I thought about doing something like: class blah { exec { danger: noop => true, tag => hitme, command

I recently tidied up a class/definition combo that sets /etc/issue and /etc/issue.net. This failed: define issuefile($path) { file { issue: owner => root, group => root, mode => 0644, content => template("issue_conf") } } class issue { issuefile { "issue": path => "/etc/issue" } } class

Hi, I'm hopping you can give me some advice, I work for a Financial Institute and we are very interested in implementing Samba as a file server running on AIX 5.3. Before we can think about implementing this we need to no if Samba has any limitation on number of folders, files and shares. The current file storage system is running on Windows 2003 server and has somewhere in the region of

Anyone know if it would be straightforward to extract this information from Puppet, probably in a custom function: The classes included as a result of the client''s parsed configuration - or - Am I in class X as a result of my parsed configuration? I''m thinking it would result in a more elegant manifest if classes X and Y behaved differently if they were both included compared

Puppeteers, For some reason I have to assign my variable before I include my class for the assignment to ''take''. I though the ordering was immaterial. Am I doing something wrong (again) or is this a funny? ----------------------- This works: <0> sa_dewha@engpsr0000.intranetdev.barcapdev.com (0 jobs)

Good morning, I have a problem and I am unsure whether it's anything to do with Samba. We use Samba on HP-Unix in conjunction with a product from rational called clearcase. Occasionally from getting to our NT Desktops to our Unix environment Powerbuilder Files( which are binary files) get reduced down to 0 size, this gets saved and we end up losing our work. I am not expecting you to solve
