similar to: reliability of R-Forge?

Hi room, There seems to be a problem with the Windows building machines of R-Forge. All our packages with Fortran source code cannot be compiled for Windows. The error in the log file is make[3]: gfortran: Command not found It seems that gfortran is not installed. Is there any plan to fix this or am I doing something wrong on R-Forge? thanks in advance for your advises. regards, Yohan --

In building a package, is it possible to make the package depend upon another package that is only available on R-Forge (not CRAN). For example, by doing something in the DESCRIPTION file I'd like to add a dependency to my package such that when the user install my package it will automatically install this other package from R-forge as well. Any help greatly appreciated. Damian

Have you tried using tools:::package_native_routine_registration_skeleton()? If you don't like its output, you can easily edit its results and still avoid most pitfalls.

Dear Colleagues, As a novice I was trying to calculate Shannon diversity index using diversity function in vegan package and kept having same error message. Error in sum(..., na.rm = na.rm) : invalid 'mode' of argument My dataset is from microarray and have abundant missing values, so I tried labeling them as NA and 0, but still same error message. Shannon index is negative

Dear vegan team, Vegan development happens now completely in github. R-Forge repository is no more in sync with github. I tried to commit all github changes to R-Forge, but a week ago I got a conflict in file and I haven't had time to resolve that conflict. You can follow vegan development and vegan discussion also without signing to github. The system seems to be completely open and does not

Hello I will be applying MDS (actually Isomap) to make a psychological "concept map" of the similarities between N concepts. I would like to scale to a large number of concepts, however, the resulting N*(N-1) pairwise similarities is prohibitive for a user survey. I'm thinking of giving people random subsets of the pairwise similarities. Does anyone have recommendations for this

R-devel, I'm in the process of choosing a name for a new package. I've already decided that the name will have two parts, 'portfolio' and 'sim', but can't decide between 'portfolioSim' and 'portfolio.sim'. Is there any good reason to choose one over the other? Thanks in advance, Jeff -- Jeff Enos Kane Capital Management jeff at kanecap.com

The design decision in metaMDS says that it uses: Minchin, P.R. (1987) An evaluation of relative robustness of techniques for ecological ordinations. Vegetatio 71, 145-156. This is the paper that I found by the same name. Is this the correct reference? Minchin, Peter R.1987. An Evaluation of the Relative Robustness of Techniques for Ecological Ordination. Vegetatio. Vol. 69, No. 1/3: 89-107.

I have a pdf file that I would like to parse into R: http://www.williams.edu/Registrar/geninfo/faculty.pdf For now, I open the file in Acrobat by hand, then save it "as text" and then use readLines(). That works fine but a) I am concerned that some information may be lost and b) I may be doing this a lot, so I would rather have R grab the information from the pdf file directly. So: is

This is the case in the upcoming release of vegan (1.6-8) just submitted to CRAN. Basically, this seems to happen

Canberra distance is defined in function `dist' (standard library `mva') as sum(|x_i - y_i| / |x_i + y_i|) Obviously this is undefined for cases where both x_i and y_i are zeros. Since double zeros are common in many data sets, this is a nuisance. In our field (from which the distance is coming), it is customary to remove double zeros: contribution to distance is zero when both x_i

Dear all, I didn't find any graphical solution in the package "mva" to plot the canonical scores from a CCA (canonical correlation analysis). Does anybody knows how to plot or has anybody already programmed : - the map of the canonical scores, - the graph of the canonical weights, - the correlation circle i.e. the canonical loadings ? Thank you for help ...

Dear R folks, One of the fantastic new tools in R is `Sweave'. I have tested it so much that I know it works and produces fine documentation, and with (GNU) Emacs/ESS it is nice to work with, too. I started to have a look at including some Swoven (is that a strong verb?) documentation with my R package, but it seems that there is no model to copy among those packages that I have installed in

Can anyone point me in the right direction of figuring out what downweight() is doing? I am using vegan to perform CCA on diatom assemblage data. I have a lot of rare species, so I want to reduce the influence of rare species in my CCA. I have read that some authors reduce rare species by only including species with an abundance of at least 1% in at least one sample (other authors use 5% as a

Dear all, I'm trying to get a two dimensional embedding of some data using different meythods, among which princomp(), cmds(), sammon() and isoMDS(). I have a problem with sammon() because the coordinates I get are all equal to NA. What does it mean? Why the method fails in finding the coordinates? Can I do anything to get some meaningful results? Thank you very much Domenico

Hello folks, it may be regarded as a user error to scale() your data prior to prcomp() instead of using its 'scale.' argument. However, it is a user thing that may happen and sounds a legitimate thing to do, but in that case predict() with 'newdata' can give wrong results: x <- scale(USArrests) sol <- prcomp(x) all.equal(predict(sol), predict(sol, newdata=x)) ## [1]

Hi, I'd like to perform Dufrene-Legendre Indicator Species Analysis for a multivariate regression tree. However I have problems with arguments of duleg(veg,class,numitr=1000)function. How to obtain a vector of numeric class memberships for samples, or a classification object returned from mvpart? thanks in advance -- Best regards, Agnieszka Strzelczak
