Dear developers, I have come across a (somewhat strange) change in the encoding of Sweave output from R-2.9.2pat to R-2.10.0beta (apparently specific to Rgui) on Windows installations. Of course, the NEWS file contains quite a few changes concerning encoding, but I was not able to locate an entry which explains the observed behaviour. I am not very familiar with encodings/locales/codepages,

I don't know about the technicalities, but Peter Dalgaard said the offending code also causes R to come to a stop using SUSE + WINE. Is it possible to run that lot on top of valgrind? Of course, it will probably take all day ... If not, I have a clue which might help. The problem seems to lie in the "sub" routine. In the original report I used -- cut here -- gctorture() u <-

Dear R list, I get a strange error in R: *** caught segfault *** address 0x6951c20, cause 'memory not mapped' Traceback: 1: .C("spline_eval", z$method, nu = as.integer(n), x = as.double(xout), y = double(n), z$n, z$x, z$y, z$b, z$c, z$d, PACKAGE = "stats") 2: spline(gam.data$x[, col.data], gam.smooths.all$fit[, m], xout = gam.results.global[m, ,

Dear R-SIG-Debian, while trying to query data from an SQLite database through RODBC on Debian testing, R crashes with the following message: library(RODBC) con3 <- odbcConnect("test3") # 'test3' being an ODBC datasource configured with SQLite3 driver, # but the same happens with SQLite driver sqlQuery(con3, "select * from test") # 'test' being any table

A new version of the 'snow' package for parallel computing in R is available at http://www.stat.uiowa.edu/~luke/R/cluster/snow_0.3-3.tar.gz This substantially revises the way in which worker processes are started to allow snow to be used on Windows and Mac/Windows/Linux combinations. I have successfully used the SOCK version on a standalone Windows machine and combinations of

Dear list, I'm tackling an empiric research problem that requires me to address a whole bunch of conceptual and/or technical details at the same time which cuts time short for all the nitty-gritty details of the "components" involved. Having said this, I'm lacking the time at the moment to deeply dive into parallel computing and HTTP requests via RCurl and I hope you can help me

G?ran, thanks for the update, I'm just about to install it! Just wanted to drop you a short line about performance (as you once requested): aftreg takes ages on my windows machine to calculate a small set of 7 observations which are not even grouped together by "id". To be a bit more precise, it takes 2:40 mins on my Intel T9300 Core2 Duo @ 2.5 GHz. Bigger samples with about 700

Hi, again, I have to modify my query since my first (too simple) example doesn't reflect my actual problem. Second try: When asking Effect() inside a function to compute an effect of an lmer-fit which uses a data frame local to the body of the function, as in the following example (simplifying my actual application), I get the "Error in is.data.frame(data) : object 'X' not

Dear list subscriber, suppose, I do have a minimal Sweave file 'test.Rnw': \documentclass{article} \begin{document} <<printx>>= x @ \end{document} Within R, I define the following function: f <- function(x){ Sweave("test.Rnw") } The call: f(x = 1:10) results in the following error message: > f(x = 1:10) Writing to file test.tex Processing code chunks

I created a report with Sweave today, that displayed perfectly on screen, but crashed both Adobe Pro 9.3.1 and Adobe Reader 9.0 on Windows 7. Output with Foxit Reader was flawless. I was able to reproduce a "minimal" example, which is not really minimal but the smallest I could get after 2 hours of wasting paper. Required: latticeExtra calling both panel.xyplot(...) # both

Dear Gerrit, This issue is discussed in a vignette in the car package (both for functions in the car and effects packages): vignette("embedding", package="car") . The solution suggested there is the essentially the one that you used.

Dear list, in R under wheezy the following error occurs: > library(cairoDevice) > Cairo() Error in Cairo() : Graphics API version mismatch It seems to be Debian-specific, as I tried the same under OpenSUSE 11.3 and it worked. I tried installing cairoDevice via `apt-get install r-cran-cairodevice' and with `install.packages("cairoDevice")' in R (without any

Dear list-member, I am currently developing a package with S4 classes. The NAMESPACE and DESCRIPTION is printed below. Within this package I have set a method "residuals" for two classes. In version 2.8.1 these two are reported whereas in R-Devel (2009-01-28 r47766). What have I missed? What has changed and how can I rectify the issue? Your help and pointers are welcome. For 2.8.1:

Dear list-subscriber, in the process of writing a general code snippet to extract coefficients in an expression (in the example below: 0.5 and -0.7), I stumbled over the following peculiar (at least peculiar to me:-) ) sorting behaviour of the function all.names(): > expr1 <- expression(x3 = 0.5 * x1 - 0.7 * x2) > all.names(expr1) [1] "-" "*" "x1"

Dear list subscriber, I am quite puzzled by the behaviour of processing Sweave files within an R session, i.e. Sweave("foo.Rnw") versus R CMD Sweave foo.Rnw In the former the environmental variable 'SWEAVE_STYLEPATH_DEFAULT = TRUE' is obeyed (this is set in etc/Renviron.site as well as under the users home directory in .Renviron). That is the hard-coded path to Sweave.sty is
