I'm writing a new predict method and would like to be able to pass an argument called "se" via the "..." mechanism. However, predict has a "se.fit" argument that wants to interpret my specification of "se" as a partially matched version of se.fit. Surely there a standard treatment for this ailment, but I can't seem to find it. url:

Thierry, I have this: if (require(MatrixModels) && require(Matrix)) { X <- model.Matrix(Terms, m, contrasts, sparse = TRUE) in my function rqss() I've tried variants of requireNamespace too without success. If I understand properly model.Matrix is from MatrixModels but it calls sparse.model.matrix which is part of Matrix, and it is the latter function that I'm not

My apologies, the data can now be found at: url <- "http://www.econ.uiuc.edu/~roger/research/ebayes/velo.d" x <- scan(url,skip = 1) If I could get each of the histograms to mimic what is produced by hist(x, 100, freq = FALSE) I?ve experimented with xlim, ylim, without success so far... url: www.econ.uiuc.edu/~roger Roger Koenker email rkoenker at uiuc.edu

I have a pdf scan of several pages of data from a quite famous old paper by C.S. Pierce (1873). I would like (what else?) to convert it into an R dataframe. Somewhat to my surprise the pdf seems to already be in a character recognized form, since I can search for numerical strings and they are nicely found. Of course, as is usual with such tables there are also headings and column

Dear All, I'm trying to track down a problem with my quantreg package reported by a user doing censored quantile regression. When he runs the test4.R file attached below (which reads the csv file also attached) on his windows machine he gets an error like this: > Error in dimnames(B) <- list(c("tau", dimnames(x)[[2]], "Qhat"), NULL) : > length of

Could someone advise me about how to react to the message: * checking R code for possible problems ... NOTE slm: no visible binding for global variable 'response' from R CMD check SparseM with * using R version 2.6.0 Under development (unstable) (2007-09-03 r42749) The offending code looks like this: "slm" <- function (formula, data, weights, na.action, method =

I sent the message below to r-sig-mac yesterday, but having no reply I decided to explore a bit myself and found that editing: /Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Versions/2.3/Resources/share/make/ shlib.mk yzzy: diff shlib.mk shlib.mk~ 3c3 < include $(R_HOME)/etc/Makeconf --- > include $(R_HOME)/etc${R_ARCH}/Makeconf restored the functionality of R CMD INSTALL. Is this a known issue?

I am trying to do some comparisons of density estimators using lattice. The code below attempts to plot the same histogram in each panel and then overplots a kernel estimate with different bandwidths. Finding packet.number() was a bit arduous, but seems to do what I want. My concern now is that close examination of the 4 histograms reveals that they are different even though they use the same

I'm having trouble with R CMD check of my quantreg package. All is well until I get to: checking running R code from vignettes ... ?rq.Rnw? ... failed ERROR Errors in running code in vignettes: when running code in ?rq.Rnw? when I see a snippet from the vignette code and then: Loading required namespace: MatrixModels When sourcing ?rq.R?: Error: could not find function

I'm trying to install the current R-devel on a G4 powerbook.

I'm having problems with environments and update() that I expect have a simple explanation. To illustrate, suppose I wanted to make a very primitive Tukey one-degree-of- freedom for nonadditivity test and naively wrote: nonadd <- function(formula){ f <- lm(formula) v <- f$fitted.values^2 g <- update(f, . ~ . + v) anova(f,g) } x <-

I've installed R-devel R Under development (unstable) (2014-07-09 r66111) Platform: x86_64-apple-darwin13.1.0 (64-bit) and am trying to resolve some problems that I am seeing with my SparseM package. In prior versions I explicitly had: setGeneric("image", function(x, ...) standardGeneric("image")) and then used setMethod to define a method for the class matrix.csr but

Dear All, I'm trying to track down a very erratic bug in some fortran; I have an example that quite consistently segfaults on windoz, and more sporadically on mac, all in the course of doing some bootstrap calculations, varying the set.seed call, but I'm now trying to see what is going on on our redhat system: R version 2.15.1 (2012-06-22) -- "Roasted Marshmallows"

Hi Kurt, I have started to look into this, and I need some guidance about how to prioritize my repairs. There are basically 4 categories of warnings from gfortran?s pedantic critique of my packages: 1. Some errant tab characters it doesn?t like, 2. Too many or too few continue statements 3. Horrible (and obsolescent) arithmetic and computed gotos 4. undeclared doubles and dubious

Negative indexing is often handy, but I'm in need of an appropriate idiom for handling cases in which the index set can be null: x <- rnorm(5) a <- 1:5 s <- rep(FALSE,5) y <- x[-a[s]] # I'd like y == x but instead one has x[-a[s]] == x[a[s]] == numeric(0), which is rather # unfortunate -- so far the best I have come up with is: as <- ifelse(length(a[s]),-a[s],TRUE)

Another anomaly from our rhel5 system, again sessionInfo() below. When I'm logged in remotely via ssh from my macpro and view documentation files in my X11 window, strings in single quotes in the files are all abbreviated as ? . The same files appear fine when rendered in X11 using the local R, and also appear fine in a terminal window on the linux machine, so this could easily also be
