similar to: Opening package manual from within R

R Community, I often am in need of viewing the reference manuals of packages and do not have Internet access. I have used the code: path <- find.package('tm') system(paste(shQuote(file.path(R.home("bin"), "R")),"CMD", "Rd2pdf",shQuote(path))) someone kindly provided from this help list to generate the manuals from the latex files. This

Hello, In the past I have tended to reside more in the ANOVA camp but am trying to become more familiar with regression techniques in R. I would like to get the F change from a model as I take away factors: SO... mod1<-lm(y~x1+x2+x3).......mod2<-lm(y~x1,x2).......mod3<-lm(y~x1) I can do this by hand by running several models in R and taking the MSr1/MSe1, MSr2/MSe2... This is

I noticed a shQuote fix for Windows in the svn logs. Just wanted to point out that this will favorably affect texi2dvi on Windows which previously used UNIX quoting and so generated an incorrect Windows command. (Note that texi2dvi is used when creating vignettes.) Another problem is that the recommended tex distribution for Windows, fptex, does not have texi2dvi in the first place. The

Writing R extensions says: In addition to the help files in Rd format, R packages allow the inclusion of documents in arbitrary other formats. The standard location for these is subdirectory inst/doc of a source package, the contents will be copied to subdirectory doc when the package is installed. Pointers from package help indices to the installed documents are automatically created.

Greetings R Community, I am working with the ifelse function and it is returning something unexpected. In the code the line with the MODE1 assignment the output is a vector [1] 4 5 6 but when I put the MODE1 object into the ifelse function [R}'s output for MODE1 is the first number from the string (4). Why is this? Given the supplied vector of x I would assume both the MODE1 and ifelse()

I am not a programmer and am self-taught so I may lack the language to ask this appropriately (perhaps why an rseek search was unfruitful). Let's say I saved a file to my desktop called foo.pdf. Then I want R to return the file path of foo.pdf (pretend I don't know the location(path) of foo.pdf). Question: How would I get R to return the unknown file path for foo.pdf. I

In re-factoring my optimx package, I'm finding that the pdf output has some lines that are outside the margins (and there are warnings in R CMD check optimx). Clearly I can fix this by editing the tex file that is generated, but the build infrastructure would still get things wrong in automatic processing. So that gives rise to 3 questions: 1) How do I adjust the DESCRIPTION file to avoid too

Good Afternoon R Community, I often work with very large data bases and want to search for select cases by a particular word or numeric value. I created the following simple function to do just that. It searchs a particular column for the phrase and returns a data frame with the rows that contain that phrase (for a particular column). Search<-function(term, dataframe, column.name,

Greeting R Community, I am a windows user so this problem may be specific to windows. I often want to source files from within R such as: C:\Users\Rinker\Desktop\Research & Law\Data\School Data 09-10. To source this file I need to go through the path and replace all the backslashes (\) with forward slashes (/). I usually do this in MS Word using the replace option, however, I'd like

I was using tagPOS function from openNLP package for parts-of-speach. Now the package is updated and the function is not present. Any suggestions how to do it now ? Thanks for your help. -- Regards, Siddharth Arun, Contact No. - +91 8880065278 [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

G'day all, In Chapter 1.4 (Writing package vignettes) the Writing R Extensions manual states: By default @code{R CMD build} will run @code{Sweave} on all Sweave vignette source files in @file{vignettes}. If @file{Makefile} is found in the vignette source directory, then @code{R CMD build} will try to run @command{make} after the @code{Sweave} runs, otherwise @code{texi2pdf} is run on

Dear R-devel list, My name is Guillermo Vinu?. I have created an R package that includes a vignette. Earlier on, to test my package, I tried to install it both in Linux and Windows and it worked. My vignette was in /inst/doc. Now, I have finished for good and before submitting my package to CRAN I've tried to install it again first in Linux and then in Windows (I removed that first

Dear colleagues, I am having issues trying to build a R package I recently wrote. I am using R 2.14.0 and my package depends on another package called aod. Running: R CMD Sweave vignette.Rnw is perfectly fine and the vignette compiles properly. but when I use R CMD build mypackage to build the tar.gz I get the following error: * installing the package to re-build vignettes * creating

Hi, all-- I've been working on a doParallel package to provide a foreach parallel backend for the new parallel package, but I am having trouble building the vignette. On my system, if I use the following minimal vignette (call it buggyVignette.Rnw): \documentclass[a4paper]{article} \title{Sweave Example 1} \author{Rich Calaway} \begin{document} \maketitle In this example

Hello R community, This isn't a technical question about R: I have used http://lib.stat.cmu.edu/R/CRAN/ as my mirror for some time now. As of a few days now I don't seem to be able to use this mirror. The link from CRAN to this repository does not work either. Does anyone know the fate of this repository? Cheers,Tyler Rinker If this was not the appropriate place for this question

I have a long equation that I need to break in the R documentation of a package or it trails off the right hand side of the page. Here's the formula: \deqn{Cov(r_{ist}, r_{iuv})= [.5\rho_{ist}\rho_{iuv}(\rho_{isu}^2 + \rho_{isv}^2 + \rho_{itu}^2 + \rho_{itv}^2) + \rho_{isu}\rho_{itv}+ \rho_{isv}\rho_{itu}-(\rho_{ist}\rho_{isu}\rho_{isv} + \rho_{its}\rho_{itu}\rho_{itv}) +

Greetings R community, I am making my first package and have run into the need to use other packages. I pass all the checks in the command prompt running Rcmd check package.name. In the Description file I have included: Depends: R (>= 2.13), plotrix Repository: CRAN Now I create the zip file for windows 7. I delete my plotrix package from my library to create a setup where others

I am a new R user and am beginning to employ function creation in my statistical work. I am running into a problem when I want to pass on a character (text) to the function as an argument. I have a simple example below to demonstrate this problem. I cannot seem to find a fix in my R book or in the blog posts. I'm sure this has been covered before but my newbie status means I lack the R
