Hi, I have been looking for info on * and the BT Easicom 1000 without much luck when i found a post to this list from Andy Powell saying that he had the phone working quite well. Before i go buy a shedload of these things I would like to know what problems/sucesses people have had with these phones and * in the UK. What they can/cant do with * Also does anyone know of any good ADSI

I have used Mike Powell's optimization routine (VA05AD) from the Harwell Subroutine Library (HSL) for more than 20 years. It is no exaggeration to say that it has helped make my career (thanks Mike). I recently learned that I am not alone in this respect - apparently it still has a loyal following in all sorts of fields! It is an exceedingly fine piece of software - fast, reliable and easy to

Folks, Has anyone implemented Powell's Method for minimisation in R ? Many thanks, Tolga

Subject: Non-GPL packages for R Packages that are not licensed in a way that permits re-distribution on CRAN are frequently a source of comment and concern on R-help and other lists. A good example of this problem is the Rdonlp2 package that has caused a lot of annoyance for a number of optimization users in R. They are also an issue for efforts like Dirk Eddelbuettel's cran2deb. There

I don't understand why so many government sites fail to provide some sort of feed to their daily bulletins. What I am venting about in specific are the Canadian CRTC and FCC sites, every day I have to go to the website and when I reach the content, usually it isn't even HTML but a Word or PDF file. So finally today I decided to do something about it and wrote a little app that scrapes

Hi Stephen, Thanks very much for getting back to me. My problem is described below. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, James Hi, Sorry for bothering you because I know that your time is voluntary, but I would really appreciate some help. I work in a hospital in part of Ireland?s national health service, a service which was struck by a massive cyber attack a couple of years ago. Since

Dear list members, Is there a package somewhere for jointly estimating two poisson processes? I think the closest I've come is using the "SUR" option in the Zelig package (see below), but when I try the "poisson" option instead of the "SUR" optioin I get an error (error given below, and indeed, reading the documentation of the Zelig package, I get the impression

Hello list, I'm following the paper (http://www.jstatsoft.org/v27/i02/paper) on how to use "plm" to run panel regressions, and am having trouble with what I believe should be something very basic. When I run the command (p.9 in the paper): R> dynformula(emp~wage+capital,log=list(capital=FALSE,TRUE),lag=list(emp=2,c(2,3)),diff=list(FALSE,capital=TRUE)) I see: emp ~ wage +

Hi, I would also be in favor of a stronger stance on licenses. In industry, where we can really get in big trouble for violating a license, we often maintain internal repositories, or need to be careful about filtering what is used from CRAN. I think that is should really be a requirement the package authors commit to stating what the restrictions are on their packages. Nicholas On 10

I'm new to Asterisk and have installed it on OS X. I am trying to use an X-Lite softphone to connect through Asterisk to FreeWorld Dialup and am not having any luck. I have looked at several settings pages at voip-info.com but have had no luck. I am on a school network which I assume has some security but the particulars are unknown as they are not very helpful. It is necessary to

Dear list members I would like to apply a vector of labels v=c("lab1","lab2","lab3") to a dataframe df=data.frame(1:3,1:3,1:3) using some kind of loop or apply function. Any ideas? Thanks Steve Powell Checked by AVG Free Edition. 17:03 [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Do you know of any references that verify the accuracy of R for basic statistical calculations and tests. The results of these studies should indicate that R results are the same as the results of other statistical packages to a certain number of decimal places on some benchmark calculations.

Dear R users & Experts, This is just a curiousity, I was wondering why the dominant eigenvetor and eigenvalue of the following matrix is given as the third. I guess this could complicate automatic selection procedures. 0 0 0 0 0 5 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 Please

I''m brand new to rails and am trying to build a simple ajax email collection form. It''s just a coming soon sort of thing where the user can enter his email address in the field, hit submit, and the ajax form dumps the email into the database and says "success" unless the email is blank or not unique in which case it says "failure." The trouble is, no

I believe there to be a bug in the cvm.test module of the nortest package authored by Juergen Gross. I do not know how to contact the author directly. I've been running some normality tests using the nortest package. For some of my datasets the Cramer-von Mises normality test generates an extremely high probability (e.g., 1.637e+31) and indicates normality when the other tests do

Hi, How's the testing going? I compressed 194 individual .wav files (totaling 8.54GB) which contained tracks ripped from many varied albums. I unflacced them and compared their md5 signature with the same from the original .wav. They were all perfect. I didn't use the -V option just in case of any chance of mis-reporting. I hope to test it with the complete collection of ~41GB
