I do think keeping the default behavior is desirable for backwards compatibility; my suggestion is not to change default behavior but to add an optional argument that allows a different behavior. Although this can be implemented in a user-defined function, retaining empty matches facilitates programmatic use, and seems to be something that should be available in base R. It is available, for

OK folks, We're warming up to the release of R-2.0.0 on Oct. 4 (aka 2004-10-04). There will be two weeks of alpha releases followed by two weeks of beta releases, starting today. The releases are made available via CRAN in http://cran.r-project.org/src/base-prerelease and the first one is there already. In case of urgency or CRAN failure, the releases will also be found at

After upgrading my servers to 2.14, log files were filled warnings that 'mem.limits' has been deprecated and to use gc instead. After reading the NEWS for R 2.14.0 and PR#14795 I learned that it is actually deprecated without replacement. Hereby I just want to voice that this function was actually in use by at least several users. Among other things, it is a useful to limit per-session

Hi, I'm looking for a way to make executable R-scripts -- which are bound to a certain package -- available to the operating system's search path. The executable R-scripts I put in the package's 'exec' directory. Different solutions have come to my mind: o 'configure'-script copies the files to /usr/local/bin o make a 'require'-shell function which

Apologies if this has been posted about recently, but I haven't been on this listserve for a while. I ran into a problem trying to compile Hmisc (required package for rms) and have found a solution that I'd like to share. The compile fails with the message: /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lquadmath libquadmath exists on my Debian Squeeze system (up-to-date, recently installed): ldconfig -p

hi, i have posted earlier a few days back, i apologise for the re-post. my problem is that the moment i start using mp3 files with lesser bit rate (16kbps) it does not stream properly. it keeps getting stuck in the middle. i can stream continuously with 128 kbps files.

I'm in the middle of a long overdue package update, and after seeing the CRAN Task Views I thought there would be an entry, in the DESCRIPTIONS file, for that entry that appears on the package webpage. For example, http://cran.case.edu/web/packages/vegan/index.html Since it's been some time since I've updated the package, I did a little reading (R-exts.pdf) and web searching and

Hello, thanks for the tips on updating packages for 1.8.0. The updating is a real problem for me, since I've to do it sort of manually using my web-browser or wget. I'm behind a firewall that requires http/ftp authentification (username and passwd) for every request it sends to a server outside our intranet. Therefore all the nice tools for automatic updating (cran, cpan ...) don't

Dear Sir/Madam, I am a Brazilian researcher working in S?o Paulo ? Brazil.

I look every now and then at RPy. It is not yet a Debian package as it had the odd problem here or there -- initially an Atlas interaction, currently something with long_jump() which cannot be found when R's dynamic library is loaded. [1] It is called R_eval.c: /* Abort the current R computation and signal a KeyboardInterrupt exception */ void interrupt_R(int signum) { interrupted = 1;

Hi, I've run into a ridiculous problem I can't find any solutions for in the archives or help pages: data(barley) cutYield <- with(barley, by(yield, variety, cut, breaks = c(0, 30, 60, 90))) As in this example, I'm using 'by' to return a factor for each level of another factor. The problem is that 'by' returns a list of the factors, and I need all these factors

Hi, I am trying to build an R package. My existing code makes use of the bitops and chron packages. So I have included statements to import required functionality into the NAMESPACE file using import(). When I run Rcmd build, and error is generated "Error: package 'bitops' does not have a name space" I exclude the import(bitops) statement from the NAMESPACE file and rebuild

The plotOHLC function in the tseries package is useful to plot timeseries of various financial assets with open/high/low/close data. I had often wondered if it could be made to run a little faster.
