similar to: Fwd: Recall function: "evaluation nested too deeply: infinite recursion / options(expressions=)?"

hello all i searched the archives and couldn't get a solution to the following question. i have the following function: F=function(z,v) { if (v==-.5) return(1) else return(2*v/z + 1/Recall(z,v-1)) } and while testing whether it works (ie F(z,v) is approx = besselK(z,1+v)/besselK(z,V). the recursion formula allows one to calculate besselK(z,1+v)/besselK(z,V) for large values of z )

hello all sorry for the following "none" R related question. does anyone know of a reference to calculate the following identity: |I + ABC| where I is an identity matrix and A, B,C may not have to be square matrices? you help will be greatly appreciated.

hello R users strange behavior of the integrate function! i assume this occurs because of the way in which the quadriture is set up! (any comments.) f=function(x){exp(-exp(-x)-5*x)/gamma(5)} xx=seq(from=-20, to=20, length.out=1000) plot(xx,f(xx),type="l") integrate(f, lower=-Inf, upper= 1) integrate(f, lower=-Inf, upper= 10) integrate(f, lower=-10, upper= 11) integrate(f,

hello all happy new year and hope you r having a good holiday. i would like to calculate the expectation of a particular random variable and would like to approximate it using a number of the functions contained in R. decided to do some experimentation on a trivial example. example ======== suppose x(i)~N(0,s2) where s2 = the variance the prior for s2 = p(s2)~IG(a,b) so the posterior is

hello i have a few quick questions. i am using a windows platform. how does one include functions from a particular r package in the C code. e.g. rgamma can be included if we include #include <R.h> #include <Rmath.h> , and #include <math.h> in the C code. what should be included if i want to use functions that are inside the MASS package (for example)? When performing mcmc

Assistance, besselK- complex number problem Im a student intrested in using R in my learning and research work in option pricing however i have a problem with besselK function In R. Would you assit me in computing the besselK of third kind of a complex number in R. Any code or suggestion will be highly appriceiated eg besselK(2,10) works well.. but besselK(2,10i) doesnt work !! im

Dear all, I have a sample with 920 observations. I want to create a loop which takes 300 of these observations for the prediction and the rest to estimate the model. My idea was to create something like this: cs.training.dat <- read.table... cs.training.dat_sub1 <- subset(cs.training.dat, Income>10) cs.training.dat_sub2 <- subset(cs.training.dat_sub1, Dept.Ratio<=1)

Hi I know how to referenc R in a scientific paper - but is there a standardised way to reference packages?

Dear all I use aggregate with variables of type numeric and dates. For type numeric functions, such as sum() are very fast, but similar simple functions, such as min() are much slower for the variables of type 'dates'. The difference gets bigger the larger the 'id' var is - but see this sample code: dts <- dates(c("02/27/92", "02/27/92",

Dear All, I am trying to convert some S-plus code that I have to run MCMC into R-code. The program works in S-plus, but runs slowly. I have managed to source the program into R. R recognizes that the program is there; for example, it will display the code when I type the function name at the prompt. However, the program will not run. When I try to run the program, I get the following error

The besselK() function knows about overflows/underflows internally; there is a constant xmax_BESS_K in src/nmath/bessel.h (and referred to only in bessel_k.c), equal to 705.342, which is checked if expon.scaled is FALSE. (The equivalent number for bessel_i.c is 709, defined as exparg_BESS in bessel.h.) However, besselK(x) silently returns +Inf if x>705.342. This behavior is reasonable for

Hi I am sure this is simple - but how can I convert one charecter vector into one string? example: x <- c("This ", "is ", "one ", "sentence.") should become "This is one entence" Thanks Rainer -- NEW EMAIL ADDRESS AND ADDRESS: Rainer.Krug at uct.ac.za RKrug at sun.ac.za WILL BE DISCONTINUED END OF MARCH Rainer M.

Hi Consider the following code > x <- rep(1:13, 13) > y <- 1:3 I want to select all elements in x which are equal to 1, 2 or 3. I know that I could use > sel <- x==y[1] | x==y[2] | x==y[3] > x[sel] to obtain the values, but in my analysis, the y-vector is thousands of elements long. Is there any way, that I can do that easily? Thanks Rainer -- Rainer M. Krug, Dipl.

I am looking for a method of dealing with the modified Bessel function K_\nu(x) for large \nu. The besselK function implementation of this allows for dealing with large values of x by allowing for exponential scaling, but there is no facility for dealing with large \nu. What would work for me would be an lbesselK function in the manner of lgamma which returned the log of K_\nu(x) for large

Hi I am trying to install the package "pheno", but it needs the package "nprq" by Roger Koenker et al. which I can I find this package?

Hi I created a complex layout with using layout() and it looks exactly as I need it. But I don't want to print in the order in which the subfigure are numbered, but in a different order. How can I navigate in the layout so that I can specify the subfigure in which to plot? At the moment I am using a function which is converting the number to mfg parameter for par, but it does not seem to

Hi I tried to install rkward under ubuntu hardy heron, but it tried to use the one from the cran repository which was newer, but it did not install. To be able to install rkward, I had to disable the cran repository, install rkward, lock it's version and enable the repository again. I have the feeling, that the dependencies are not correct (it is looking for libqt4GUI, but I have a

Hi all, I have some wind data (U and V components) and I would like to compute Vorticity and Divergence of these fields. Is there any R function that can easily do that?
