Dear R developers, I am having a slightly weird issue with a S4 method defined in my package adegenet 1.2-4, with R 2.11.0. As far as I know, the problem is new, and the code implementing the method has not changed for more than a year and worked well so far. The problem is the following. I define, in the package, a method "[" for the S4 class 'genind'. The method's

Dear R users, I'm a bit perplexed with the effect sort has here, as it is different on Windows vs. linux. It makes my factor levels and subsequent plots different on the two systems. Given: types <- c("PC-D-Euro-0", "PC-D-Euro-1", "PC-D-Euro-2", "PC-D-Euro-3", "PC-D-Euro-4", "PC-D-Euro-5", "PC-D-Euro-6",

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

Hi, I'm trying to build a vector of latex commands. However, I need the command strings to begin with a backslash "\". I have: test <- c('foo','bar') and I need to rebuild the array, encapsulating the text items with latex stuff, like this: paste("\parbox[b]{3cm}{", test, "}", fill=TRUE) Actually, cat() prints the string fine if one uses

I'm running R 2.11 on Karmic. I'm having difficulty installing quite a few packages with the returned error message of "installation of package "[whatever the packages happens to be]" had non-zero exit status. I know this message sometimes is caused by incorrect or missing java packages and the like. I generally don't have issues with the installation of R or R packages

I stumbled across this and I am wondering if this is unexpected behavior or if I am missing something. > pnorm(-1.0e+307, log.p=TRUE) [1] -Inf > pnorm(-1.0e+308, log.p=TRUE) [1] NaN Warning message: In pnorm(q, mean, sd, lower.tail, log.p) : NaNs produced > pnorm(-1.0e+309, log.p=TRUE) [1] -Inf I don't know C and am not that skilled with R, so it would be hard for me to look into

I have an example where escaping "." does not seem to be behaving consistently, but perhaps it is due to my misunderstanding. Could someone explain to me why the below produces the output it does? It seems to me that in the second example, where I am being more precise about specifying that a "." (dot) should be between the numbers, should produce the same output as the first

Hi there, I would like to know if it is possible to modify a text file with a R function. In fact I would like to know if a function "Search & Replace" exists. My problem is to create config files from a Base file in which I have to modify values of parameters. My Base File: #... #... Param1= V1_1 #... Param2 = V2_1 Param3 = V3_1 #... What I would like for each created file

A colleague?s R program behaved differently when I ran it, and we thought we traced it probably to different results from string comparisons as below, with different R versions. However the platforms also differed. A friend ran it on a few machines and found that the comparison behavior didn?t correlate with R version, but rather with platform. I wonder if you?ve seen this. If it?s not some

Hello, I would like to compress a long string (character vector), store the compressed string in the text field of a SQLite database (using RSQLite), and then load the text back into memory and decompress it back into the the original string. My character vector can be compressed considerably using standard gzip/bzip2 compression. In theory it should be much faster for me to compress/decompress

Running "as.character" on a large POSIXct causes a segfault on my 2.11 (2010-04-22) install. Seems to crash at around 9e4 ... on OSX and Ubuntu at least. > invisible(as.character(Sys.time()+1:7e4)) > invisible(as.character(Sys.time()+1:8e4)) > invisible(as.character(Sys.time()+1:9e4)) Error: segfault from C stack overflow > invisible(as.character(Sys.time()+1:5e5)) Error:

Yes, collation is a strange thing, and? Collation order will depend on locale settings, and there are quite a few cases where the collation order of two items is not defined. To add to the confusion, on OSX Mavericks, I see > x <- "\u0663" > y <- 3 > > x == y [1] FALSE > rank(c(x, y)) [1] 2 1 > x [1] "?" > x == y [1] FALSE > x > y [1] TRUE

Hi all, I was recently writing a script to identify the value and id of the maximum observation in a sliding window when I ran into some unexpected behavior. I have included an example. > test <- c() > test$elev <- c(1:200) > test$i <- 1 > test$window <- 10 The following works for me: > check.max <- function(x){obs.max <- x$elev[x$i:x$i+x$window]; obs.max}

Hi all, I just run into this today. Apparently rexp() sometimes gives different slightly results for the same seed on 32 bit and 64 bit machines. runif() is the same for both, so the problem seems to be in rexp(). 64 bit Linux is the same as 64 bit OSX, and R-devel gives the same results as R-3.0.2.

Hi I'm trying to scale the point symbols on a 3d plot so that the ones at the front are larger than the ones at the back. I'm trying to give the image some perspective. Given this code... library(scatterplot3d) data=array(c(0,5,9), c(3,3)) scatterplot3d(data, pch=19, cex.symbols=10-data[,2], color=c("red","blue","black")); > data [,1] [,2] [,3]

ng, I have a matrix (x) with binary content. Each row of the matrix holds exactly one 1, and the rest of the row is zeros. The thing is that I need to 'collapse' the matrix to one column where each row holds the original column index of the 1's (y). Sometimes, the matrix is quite large, so I have a perfomance problem. x <- matrix(c(1,0,0, 0,0,1, 0,1,0, 0,0,1, 0,1,0,

Dear all, There seems to be a problem with named chunks in Sweave with the version of R under development (downloaded yesterday). When I sweave the file toto.Rnw described at the end of this mail (Ubuntu 10.04 LTS), the function Sweave returns an Internal error: > utils::Sweave("toto.Rnw") Writing to file toto.tex Processing code chunks ... 1 : echo term verbatim (label=a) 2

Dear all, I am a happy user of R console, but I would like to see syntax coloring. I use R 2.12 in Ubuntu Linux. I have found the packages "xterm256" and "highlight", but I was not able to figure out how to use it to highlight the syntax in console output. Also, I tried several GUI interfaces, but I was not able to find something that suits me better than the default R

Hi, I observed a slight problem in deparse(): it will add spaces around most operators except /. I wonder if this is easy to fix. I know this is quite trivial, but I will appreciate if / is not treated as an exception. Examples: > deparse(expression(1/1)) [1] "expression(1/1)" > deparse(expression(1+1)) [1] "expression(1 + 1)" > deparse(expression(1%in%1)) [1]

Hello, As an example, I ran the following code: library("rgl") example(plot3d) rgl.snapshot("test.png") The full plot is visible in the window titled RGL device 1 [Focus], but only a small
