similar to: installing ONLY the documentation files (Rd) for many packages?

Hola! I am using Rcmd build --binary ... on a windows XP system, and am encountering a strange problem. Rcmd claims there are syntax errors in one of mine .Rd files ******* Syntax error: mismatched or missing brackets in I take "brackets" to mean [], and I have none of them in the file, and don't think they are needed. Rcmd prints out the offending file, and in the printout I

Hola! I have the following in a .Rd file: \eqn{\mbox{coef} = c(\mbox{coef}[1],\ldots, \mbox{coef}[n]) } {coef = c(coef[1], coef[2], \dots, coef[n])} However, both arguments come out in the latex file! Whats happening? Kjetil Halvorsen

Hola! I am sending this to the list since emails from me to Simon Wood has bounced earlier.

Hola! I just changed my laptop to debian squeeze, downloaded R devel from svn repo, as described in the manual. Then I configured for building in a separate build dir with: kjetil at kjetil:~/R/Rbuilddir$ sudo ../svn/configure --- which succeeded, with: R is now configured for x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu Source directory: ../svn Installation directory: /usr/local C

I am experimenting with rSymPy, and it seems to work nice. However, I dislike the need to wrap all sympy expressions within quotes, it leads to ugly calls like library(rSymPy) Var("x,y,z") sympy("(x+y)**2") and so on. Inspired by the function cq from mvbutiles package: library(mvbutils) > cq function (...) { as.character(sapply(as.list(match.call(expand.dots =

Hola! I ask here since I learnt from this list that the LaTeX package listings should be good for typesetting R code. I encountered one problem: \begin{lstlisting} X %*% V \end{lstlisting} in the output the * in %*% disappears! same with %/%, etc, the / disappears. Any ideas? Kjetil -- Kjetil Halvorsen.

Hola! I am working on a problem where data points are (square) matrices. Is there a way to make a "vector" of matrices, such that it can be stored in a data.frame? Can that be done with S3? or do I have to learn S4 objects & methods? Kjetil

I should'nt have sent the last mail so fast. Same problem with \eqn{u_j = a_j + b x + c x^2, \quad j=1, \ldots, r-1} {u[j] = a[j] + b*x + c*x^2 j = 1,\dots,r-1} I thought the problem in the first case could have to do with the use use of \mbox{} (with the braces) within the arguments of \eqn, but here there are none braces in the arguments of \eqn{}{}. Another case giving the

I am trying to source a file defining a dataset, giving the full path.

I just discovered that when the VGAM package (not on CRAN) is loaded, glm() doesn't work. This is because VGAM defines a family function() which gets found by glm() in place of the family function from stats. Then VGAM:::family returns an object which doesn't have a $family component, (it has a component $vfamily). I thought namespaces should protect us from this happening? Kjetil --

I encountered something strange with read.spss (package foreign, version 0.7 with R2.0.0 and version 0.8 with R2.0.1 beta, windows XP) I made a test file test.sav with SPSS version 11.5.1 containing only one numeric variable, with a value label for one value not occuring in the file. According to ?read.spss this should result in a factor, but it results in all NA. Using the argument

With rw2010dev I get a strange protect(): protection stack overflow error with a small data frame which otherwise is usable: If anybody wants to have a look I can provide an RData file with the problematic data frame. Doesn't seem to be necessary, the following simulated example generates the error: > testmat <- matrix(1:80, 20,4) > dim(testmat) [1] 20 4 > str(testmat) int

Hola! The R FAQ says: 7.12 How do I convert factors to numeric? It may happen that when reading numeric data into R (usually, when reading in a file), they come in as factors. If f is such a factor object, you can use as.numeric(as.character(f)) to get the numbers back. More efficient, but harder to remember, is as.numeric(levels(f))[as.integer(f)] In any case, do not call as.numeric()

I found the need of converting a matrix into a list of its columns (for use with do.call), and was surprised there was no method as.list.matrix, it could easily be a part of as.list default I wrote my.as.list.matrix <- function(mat) { if(!is.matrix(mat))stop("Argument must be a matrix") n <- NCOL(mat) res <- vector(mode="list", length=n)

Hola! I will want to identify pixels in an image with the mouse, for so getting the image data from the matrix(es), for use in subsequent discriminant analysis.

On trying with very smll test packages to try drilling down to som problems earlier reported in this list, I detected the following: R CMD check on a package with an R subdirectory empty, reports: * checking R files for syntax errors ...
