The documentation for the arima function in the package stats has a slight error. It references: Ripley, B. D. (2002) Time series in R 1.5.0. R News, 2/1, 2–7. [1]http://www.r-project.org/doc/Rnews/Rnews_2002-1.pdf This should be: Ripley, B. D. (2002) Time series in R 1.5.0. R News, 2/2, 2–7.

Recently, a package for convex optimization was announced for Python, based upon the LP solver GLPK, the SDP solver in DSDP5, and the LP and QP solvers in MOSEK. I'm aware GLPK is available for R, but wondered if anyone had good packages for convex optimization along these lines for R. TIA.

There's Renka's STRIPACK, and TRIPACK, respectively, ACM TOMS Algorithms 772 and 751, and there's the R package "deldir" which does the Delaunay for a plane, but does anyone have or know of the tessellation in R for a sphere? Also, is there a standard indexing scheme for Delaunay facets, and perhaps of edges in such facets? I'd expect that to be a publication reference,

I wanted to put this on the R Wiki, but found the suitable pages were read-only. I wanted to get it out in public to save people work. I was converting dates like "2009/03/26 01:00:00 AM" using as.POSIXct. I found that using a format of "%Y/%m/%d %I:%M:%S %p" did not work correctly to distinguish AM from PM. Both were converted into the same timestamp. Indeed, what I found

Apologies if this is the wrong place to ask. I'm not aware of a mail list devoted to database interfaces. Please direct me if so. I am trying to use TSMySQL. It loads RMySQL, and apparent the CRAN version has an .onLoad script which seeks out the local MySQL server. If that fails, the package fails to load. Thing is, I'm trying to access a MySQL database on a remote machine for which

lm's "predict" function offers an "interval" parameter to choose between 'confidence' and 'prediction' bands. In the package "robust" and for "lmRob", there is also a "predict" but it lacks such a parameter, and the documented "type" parameter has only "response" offerred. Is there some way of obtaining

I have a JPEG map of temperature data, coded using a given legend where blues are cooler and reds hotter. Is there any preexisting R magic or package which might let me recover the value of the scalar quantity so represented given the RGB values at each point in the picture? After processing, I'd also like to push the results back through the translate to get an RGB JPEG again. Thanks for

Can someone point me to the proper place in the documentation or on the Wiki where I can learn how to get R to stop interpreting the string "NA" as something special? I have a table in a database which contains (among other things) country codes and continent codes. The standard set of two-letter codes includes "NA" to denote "North America". I learned of the

I'm interested in the Rsolnp package. For their primary function "solnp", one example is given, and there is a reference to "unit tests". Anyone know where these can be found? Also, Rsolnp is used in a few other packages (e.g., depmixS4), but I cannot seem to find source illustrating its call sequence, and the precise definition of the functions passed. Can anyone help?

Hi We use CentOS and RHEL, the 5.5 RHEL ISO for x86_64 is 3.7GB (**), the CentOS one is 4602MB (***) split over two DVDs. Is this reasonable and correct? Any ideas why would there be such a discrepancy if they are built from the same (or very similar) source? Regards Anthony Caetano ** the md5sum checks out, and RHN lists the size as 3,532 MB *** CentOS-5.5-x86_64-bin-DVD-1of2.iso +

Hi all, I'm trying to install the splancs contributed package on a Redhat 7.3 system with R 1.5.1 installed. I've installed the readline41-4.1-10 RPM which Redhat requires for R and it works great, thanks very much. However, when I attempt to R CMD INSTALL splancs_2.01-9.tar.gz as root, I get the following error message during the install: [snip] g77 -fPIC -O2 -m486

I admire package-builders being proactive and having their facilities ready for upcoming R releases. However, if the publicly released version of R is 2.10.1 and a package is built for R 2.11.0, users get the embarrassing notice about a disconnect, and cannot do much about it. If it is tedious to roll out a new package on time, perhaps there's a possibility for automation here. Thanks. I

While running a long script which source()s other scripts I get the following warning: Warning message: In t(object$S[[1]]) : bytecode version mismatch; using eval I cannot replicate it if I run the sourced files line by line though... What is that error? And do I care about it? It doesn't seem to affect my output as far as I can tell. Thanks! Justin > sessionInfo() R version

Source versions would only have been available with a nondisclosure agreement, and relatively few copies would have been distributed in source.

A colleague is receiving some data from another person. That person reads the data in SAS and it takes 30s and uses 64k RAM. That person then tries to read the data in R and it takes 10 minutes and uses a gigabyte of RAM. Person then goes on to say: It's not that I think SAS is such great software, it's not. But I really hate badly designed software. R is designed by

Joyful. I'm adapting a FORTRAN 77 package for use with R. Pretty straightforward. Except for a glitch it took me some time to figure out. This existing package has subroutines which have parameters called "NA". So, I called subroutines like bnodes <- function(n, lst, lptr, lend, nodes, nb, na, nt) { ensure.all.numeric(list(n, lst, lptr, lend, nodes, nb, n.a, nt),

Hi, I've just been checking my local copy of the CentOS repos. I found 200+ i386/i686 packages in both the updates/5/RPMS and updates/6/Packages directories. I checked with my rsync site ( ftp.heanet.ie ) and the equivalent UK site ( ftp.mirrorservice.org ) and they both carried these packages also. Is this a case a repo pollution, it can't be necessary to have i386 packages in
