Dear R-lings, I did not know which list to post to, because it is a studentship so not really a job, so it did not fit the r-sig-jobs list .... and it is about devloping an extension package interfaced with R ....

Hi, I' using Ubuntu 10.10/11.04 and on both of the systems help doesn't work unless I set options(help_type="html"). I hate to change context and help_type='html' distracts me. I want text based help inside console. Where should I look to fix this problem? -- Amol

I'm not 100% sure this hasn't been covered already (I searched a bit, but I had a little trouble filtering down to a useful number of useful results). Anyway, when I install R on Windows, the installer asks to set the default help type. For some reason, I can set it as HTML in the installer, but the results open as if help_type = "text" by default. I presume this is related to

This error can arise when getOption("width") is too small. 80 seems to be the limit for me with R-3.3.2 on Windows.

Hello, I have searched for documentation on the function contourLines's algorithm but cannot find a thing. I am about to submit a paper to a journal but cannot yet do so because I need to provide some reference for this function. Does anyone know what algorithm is used for this function?

In November, we had a "bug repository conversation" with Peter Hagerty and myself: https://bugs.r-project.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=16065 where the bug report title started with --->> "exists" is a bottleneck for dispatch and package loading, ...

After a clean install of R 4.0.0 (R-base only) on Mint 19.3, the directory /usr/lib/R/library/base/html is empty. However, the directory /usr/lib/R/library/boot/html contains files 00Index.html and R.css. Correspondingly, the command help(package="base", help_type="html") produces the text "No package index found for package base". The same occurs when clicking

This is the first time that I have tried to update packages with a tinkered around with .Rprofile. I start R with R --vanilla and it does not load my .Rprofile, but when I issue the command update.packages() R downloads the packages as expected, but then seems to load .Rprofile before compiling the packages sources. What am I doing wrong? kindest regards, Stephen Sefick see- Session info

Hello fellow R sufferers, Is there a way to perform an appending operation in place? Currently, the way my pseudo-code goes is like this for (i in 1:1000) { if (some condition) { newRow <- myFunction(myArguments) X <- rbind(X, newRow) # <- this is the bottleneck!! } } As you can see, it works but as the matrix X gets the size of a few million rows, the

I noticed about a couple weeks ago that my R start up script starting showing the below errors, following the line "Type 'q()' to quit R" Not sure what I did different and so far it hasn't caused major problems but kind of fear that it will.

I am sorry about the problem caused by my first attempt at reporting a bug. This is a followup to my report PR#225, hopefully being more useful. By not I have a better understanding of the problems being reported. I wish to report one bug relating to plot character and to mention two other possible bugs (these may relate to differences between R and S) I have noticed with R. We have recently

I am using nls to fit a non linear function to some data. The non linear function is: y= 1- exp(-(k0+k1*p1+ .... + kn*pn)) I have chosen algorithm "port", with lower boundary is 0 for all of the ki parameters, and I have tried many start values for the parameters ki (including generating them at random).

Dear list, I have a strange requirement .... I have a vector, for example v<- c(0,0,0,0,1,2,4,6,8,8,8,8). I have a value,for example x<- 4.8. I would like to understand in which sub interval of v is x. In this case, v would be in the sub interval [4,6] that is in the subinterval starting from element j=7 to the element j+1=8. Can we do that with an R command? Regards -- Corrado Topi

Hi, I have options(help_type="html") in my .Rprofile and when I type ?foo, the man page appears as a new tab in my web browser (which is already running). Fine. However, when I type ??foo, rather than the results appearing in a new tab, a new instance of the web browser is spawned with the default homepage displayed. Same with help.search("foo"). Am I the only one seeing this?
