similar to: How long is winepath available?

I'm back! I've just learned that, on a fully updated Fedora Core Linux5 sytem, the working solution to access Winbugs under wine via the R package "rbugs" no longer works. Here was my last post on this topic (with the formerly working solution) from January. http://finzi.psych.upenn.edu/R/Rhelp02a/archive/68497.html Currently, what happens is that WinBUGS starts up, but just

Greetings: I'm going to encourage some students to try Bayesian ideas for hierarchical models. I want to run the WinBUGS and R examples in Tony Lancaster's An Introduction to Modern Bayesian Econometrics. That features MS Windows and "bugs" from R2WinBUGS. Today, I want to ask how people are doing this in Linux? I have found a plethora of possibilities, some of which are not

Hello! Say I have a function foo1, which has argument ... to pass various arguments to foo2 i.e. foo1 <- function(x, ...) { foo2(x, ...) } Say that foo2 accepts argument arg1 and I would like to do the following: - if foo1 is called as foo1(x) then I would like to assign some value to arg1 inside foo1 before calling foo2 arg1 <- "some value" foo2(x, arg1=arg1) - if foo1 is

Hello! I am working on a package where Enhances field seems to be a plausible option. When I add package, say coda, to this field, I get the following warning with recent R-devel: ---- * checking for working latex ...

Hello! Is it possible to set na.rm=TRUE in a global way? I'am constantly forgeting on this when performing analyses. I agree that one should be carefull with this when developing some code, but not necesarilly so in data analysis.

Hello! I would like to use constrain to sum coeficients of a factor to 0 instead of classical corner contraint i.e. I would like to fit a model like lm(y ~ 1 + effectA + effectB) and say get parameters intercept effectA_1 effectA_2 effectB_1 effectB_2 effectB_3 where effectA_1 represents deviation of level A_1 from intercept and sum(effectA_1, effectA_2) = 0 and the same for factor B. Is

Hello! I would like to get MLE for parameter lambda of Poisson distribution. I can use fitdistr() for this. After looking a bit into the code of this function I can see that value for lambda and its standard error is estimated via estimate <- mean(x) sds <- sqrt(estimate/n) Is this MLE? With my poor math/stat knowledge I thought that MLE for Poisson parameter is (in mixture of LaTeX

Hello R users! I just found out that I have 49 invitations for Gmail (gmail.google.com). I have been using it now for a while and is really nice. Don't forget 1 GB for free.

Hello! I am performing coupling of chains in MCMC and I need the same value of seed for two chains. I will show demo of what I want: R code, which might show my example is: niter <- 3 nchain <- 2 tmpSeed <- 123 for (i in 1:niter) { # iterations for (j in 1:nchain) { # chains set.seed(tmpSeed) a <- runif(1) cat("iter:", i, "chain:", j,

Hello! Does R core find the following pacth usefull - I created methods for levels for list and data.frame, which can be usefull to get a list of levels for entries in a list or columns in a data.frame. Patch is attached and shown bellow example # Example > tmp <- list() > tmp$a <- factor(letters[1:10]) > tmp$b <- factor(letters[5:14]) > tmp$c <- 1:10 > tmp1 <-

Hello! Has anyone successfully compiled F90 sources in R-package? I found the same question on r-devel list from 2002 and I wonder if there is any progress. I heard that g95 and gfortran can be usable. And one more thing. I have a program written in F90 and lets suppose that compiler is not a problem. I've read manual 'Writing R Extensions' and successfully loaded one F77 subroutine

Dear R developers, I have encountered strange behaviour of fitdistr for gamma in recent R build i.e. 2.2.0. I have attached the code for data at the end of this mail so you can reproduce the problem. In short, I am able to run fitdistr under 2.1.0 without problems, while I get the following error under 2.2.0 (Version 2.2.0 Patched (2005-11-15 r36348)) > fitdistr(otm, "gamma") Error

Hi! I appologize for crossposting, but this might be of broader interest. In case you are interested in fusing RUnit with R CMD check under unix alike OS, here is one way of doing/hacking this. My aim was to perform unit tests: (1) during R CMD check (2) at any other time Say you have a package PKG in a map PKG. I use the following structure PKG |- R |- ... |- inst | |- doc | `-

Hello! New version of R has came out and I would like to thank to all developers on this matter. So I should probably upgrade. Fine and no problem. For windows I just grab the latest precompiled binnaries and install them. Then I see a report on a bug, which is or will be fixed in pacthed version. So I need to get binnaries from patched build and install them, right? How often do you people
