Hello, >From the date time stamps I see that not only do I have the results of the build in 'gnuwin32/front-ends' but I can also see the time stamps have changed in the main bin directory so I assume that the result of 'make all recommended' also copies the results there. Now on to the packages. I was interested in following the flow of 'stl' so I added the following

I noticed that the text() command adds text to a plot. Is there a way to either make the plot blank or add text to a "blank sheet". I would like to "plot" a page that contains just text, no plot lines, labels, etc. Suggestions? Kevin [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Given a Date object or simply a year is there an R function to tell me if the it is a leap year or not? I was hoping for something like 'is.leapyear'. I probably can build my own function (year divisible by 4 etc.) but I would rather use an existing function if it is available. Thank you. Kevin

Why does: (shape/scale) * (1:365/scale)^(shape - 1) return a vector of numbers but calling a function hasard(1:365,shape,scale) defined like: hazard <- function(x,shape,scale) { return (shape/scale) * (x/scale)^(shape - 1) } Only return a single value? It is like x becomes a single value passed as an argument. Thank you. Kevin

I noticed that when I fit a linear model using 'lm' there is an attribute called "factors" that is added to the "term". It doesn't seem to appear for 'model.matrix', just 'lm'. I have been unable to find where it gets constructed or what it means? It looks like a two dimensional array that I may be able to use so I would just like to get some

I had a question about the basic power functions in R. For example from the R console I enter: -1 ^ 2 [1] -1 but also -1^3 [1] -1 -0.1^2 [1] -0.01 Normally pow(-1, 2) return either -Infinity or NaN. Has R taken over the math functions? If so I would think that -1^2 is 1 not -1 and -0.1^2 is 0.01 not -0.01. Thank you. Kevin

I am trying to upgrade to R 2.14 from R 2.13.1 I have compied all the libraries from the 'library' directory in my existing installation (2.13.1) to the installed R 2.14. Now I want to uninstall the old installation (R 2.13.1) and I get the error: Internal Error: Cannot find utCompiledCode record for this version of the uninstaller. Any ideas?

I am working through some of the gotchas with building R from source under Window. I have found that if I don't execute the make commands as Administrator I get alot of "permission denied' errors. Even if I give myself full control of the directory and files. Strange. I also found that the environment variable TMPDIR must be set otherwise the build process assumes a temporary

I am running R 2.9.2 and creating a PDF that I am trying to open with Adobe Reader 9.2 but when I try to open it the reader responds with "There was an error opening this document. The file is damaged and cannot be repaired.: I am using the R command(s): pdf(file="cat.pdf", title="Historical Sales By Category") for(j in 1:length(master)) { d <-

This may be a begining question. If so, please bear with me. If I have some data that based on the historgram and other plots it "looks" like a beta distribution. Is there a function or functions within R to help me determine the model parameters for such a distirbution? Similarily for other "common" distirbutions, Poisson(lambda), Chi-Square(degrees of freedom, chi-square

I give up. Maybe it is my search (Windows) but I cannot seem to find the definition of the F77_CALL or F77_NAME macros. Either there are too many matches or the search just doesn't find it. For example where is the source for: F77_CALL(dpotri) ? Thank you. Kevin

I have a command that reads in some data: x <- read.csv("Sales2007.dat", header=TRUE) Then I try to organize the data: sc <- split(x, list(x$Category, x$SubCategory), drop=TRUE) Then I want to iterate through the data. I was able to get the following to run on the R console: for(i in 1:length(sc)) { sum(sc[[i]]$Quantity) } But notiing is primted on the console. I find

Hello, I asked a question about what the most likely process to follow if after a time-series fit is performed the residuals are found to be non-normal. One peron responded and offered to help if I supplied a sample data set. Unfortunately now that I have a sample I have lost the emai addressl. If you are that person or have some ideas please email me back at rkevinburton at charter.net. Thank

I am trying to sort a list and the data is obiously not in the right format. I am trying: x <- list() x[["A"]] <- 1 x[["B"]] <- 2 order(x) But am getting: Error in order(x) : unimplemented type 'list' in 'orderVector1' How should I change the list so that it can be sorted? What kinds of objects (classes of objects) can be sorted? Thank you. Kevin

I am having a hard time understanding just what 'sweep' does. The documentation states: Return an array obtained from an input array by sweeping out a summary statistic. So what does it mean "weeping out a summary statistic"? Thank you. Kevin

Simple question: Why doesn't the following work? Or what 'R' rule am I missing? tclass <- "Testing 1 2 3" if(tclass == "Testing 1 2 3") { cat("Testing", tclass, "\n") } else { cat(tclass, "\n") } I get an error 'else' is unexpected. Thank you. Kevin

I know I am going to catch alot of comments for this question but I am really stuck. If there is some written documentation that I have missed please redirect me. I want to build 'R' from source on a Windows Platform. The main reasons are that I want to check out a debugging some existing packages so I need to build with debug symbols and I want to check out a 64-bit version of

I have two vectos (list) that represent a years of data. Each "row" is represented by the day of year and the quantity that was sold for that day. I would like to form a new vector that is the difference between the two years of data. A sample of A (and similarly B) looks like: > A[1:5,] DayOfYear x 1 1 1429 2 2 3952 3 3 3049 4 4 2844 5 5

Can someone enlighten me on why the following doesn't work? setwd('C:/Temp/R') d <- rep(1:53,2) (s <- ts(d, frequency=53, start=c(2000,10))) n <- length(s) k <- n%/%3 for(i in (n-k):n) { st <- c(start(s)[1] + (start(s)[2] + i)%/%frequency(s), (start(s)[2] + i) %% frequency(s)) ed <- c(start(s)[1] +

Hello there I'm writing some c-code to solve a numerically tough problem for me in R. Looking in Lapack.h, i find the following line F77_NAME(dgesvx)(const int* fact, const char* trans, const int* n, and I believe that "fact" should've been char instead of int, i.e. F77_NAME(dgesvx)(const char* fact, const char* trans, const int* n, My reasoning: In the R-source:
