Hi all, I am trying to understand the R's "environment" concept however the underlying help files look quite technical to me. Can experts here provide me some more intuitive ideas behind this concept like, why it is there, what exactly it is doing in R's architecture etc.? I mainly need some non-technical intuitive explanation. Thanks,

Hello there, would you please look into my codes? Here I have following: > set.seed(100) > samp <- sample(c(1,-1,0), 20, replace=T); samp [1] 1 1 -1 1 -1 -1 0 -1 -1 1 -1 0 1 -1 0 0 1 -1 -1 0 Here I want to calculate the length of each unique number for above vector. How can I do that? Thanks in advance [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Hi there, given a numeric vector, I can select numbers within a specific range. However presently, I have something related but different problem. Suppose I have a numeric vector. Now take an arbitrary number. Goal to to chose a specific subset with a given length, from that given vector, so that those chosen numbers are centered around that given constant. Here is one example: ### My original

Hi all, I have created a package and now into writing it's help files. However I am having problem on, how to put a 'new line' in any statement of the help file? For example please consider following: \title{ This is a new function and this function will calculate the mean. } However I want to write it is this way: \title{ This is a new function & and, this function will

Hi again, yesterday I mailed this query however I could not see this on the mail list. Therefore, I am reposting it again. I was using package.skeleton() function to create the skeleton of my package in windows. Here is my attempt: rm(list = ls()) setwd("F:/R_PackageBuild") package.skeleton("trial1", namespace = TRUE, code_files = "F:/R_PackageBuild/trial.r") In

Hello I am struggling to accomplice an idea which is as follows: I have a vector say: a <- c("a", "b", "c", "a") and another: b <- c("m", "n", "o", "m"). Length of those 2 vectors are essentially be same. Here task is to check the duplicates in the vector 'a' and then to check whether any duplicates are

Dear all, it is my first post in R-devel list, and hope that this is the right place to ask question related to package development. I have created my first package in Windows through the usual route. Now I want to add some ***Welcome message*** as soon as user loads my package into their R console, using library() function. However I could not figure out where and how should I add this

Hi all, I was trying to create some vignette files for my newly developed package, however wondering whether there could be any simpler way to do so. In writing R extension it is advised to go through Sweave route, however I have already got a big pdf file and want to use this as package vignette. So far I have manually created the inst/doc folder in the main package skeleton, and put that file

Hi I have a package which was built using R 1.9.1 and everything worked fine. I recently upgraded to R 2.0.1 and tried to re-install my package - and I got: Error in library(mypackage) : 'mypackage' is not a valid package -- installed < 2.0.0? So I tried rebuilding it using my new version of R: R CMD BUILD --binary mypackage hhc: not found cp: cannot stat `mypackage.chm': No

Function/file names are hypothetical. Say I have written myfunction.R, which calls myfunction.c via .C("myfunction", ...). I've compiled successfully myfunction.c via R CMD SHLIB myfunction.c in the terminal. Then, in the R console: dyn.load("myfunction.so") source("myfunction.R") test <- myfunction() # works fine So everything is in order, myfunction works

Hello. I have what I know to be a simple question, but never having done anything like this it is pretty tough. I'm trying to write an R package. I have a collection of functions that I loaded into R and then used package.skeleton(). After editing everything in the resulting folder, call it NewPackage, I tried to follow along with some instructions I found for Windows users. I installed

I have some questions about 1. nomenclature, 2. recommended file locations and 3. overall procedure related to creating packages. To the extent that it matters, examples here relate to Windows XP R 2.0.1 beta. The questions are interspersed and prefaced with ***. My understanding is that there are actually 6 forms of a package that one should use in package development: 1.

Dear friends, I am building an R package called *mypackage*. I followed every possible steps (to my understanding) for the same. I got following problem while doing *R CMD check mypackage*. * installing *source* package 'mypackage' ... ** libs cygwin warning: MS-DOS style path detected: C:/PROGRA~1/R/R-213~1.0/etc/i386/Makeconf Preferred POSIX equivalent is:

I'm putting together an R package. I would like to show example code in the vignette, where example data files (included in the package) are used to generate an (example) output file. I read about using example data in Hadley Wickham's post ( http://r-pkgs.had.co.nz/data.html), and believe I should keep my example data as raw data, as it must be parsed to generate the output. So, I

Hi, I need to link mypackage to 2 other packages so I can call some C functions defined in these 2 packages from mine. I've tried Depends: packageA, packageB LinkingTo: packageA, packageB as suggested by the "5.4 Registering native routines" section of the "Writing R Extensions" manual but then only packageA is seen at compilation time (gcc is called with

I have question regarding package installation. What is the difference between check, INSTALL, build and build --binary, which imply which and what order does one normally perform them? I have been trying: R CMD build /mypackage R CMD check /mypackage R CMD build --binary /mypackage in that order but wanted to check that this is right. Also, what portion of the check process can be run

When I run the following: cd \Rpkgs rcmd install mypackage -l library I get a message that it cannot find quadprog which is a library that mypackage depends on. Error: package 'quadprog' could not be loaded I previously used C:\Program Files\R\rw2011\library as my library for CRAN packages and did not have a problem but now that I use C:\Program Files\R\library this problem

Dear List, I’m doing my first baby steps towards developing own R Packages and ran into the following problem: R CMD check mypackage works fine (no errors, no warnings) R CMD build mypackage works fine (no errors, no warnings) R CMD INSTALL –library=”C:\R\R-2.11.1\library” “something\mypackage\mypackage_1.0.tar.gz” works fine (no errors, no warnings) However, when I try loading the
