similar to: RH Server/Client disk sets -> Centos; how?

I would appreciate ideas about MS Windows install issues. I'm at our stats summer camp and have been looking at a lot of Windows R installs and there are some wrinkles about R_LIBS_USER. On a clean Win7 or Win8 system, with R-3.0.1, we see the user library for packages defaulting to $HOME/R/win-library. I think that's awesome, the way it should be. Yea! But it does not appear that way

Dear R-helpers: We have had fun using betareg to fit models with proportions as dependent variables. However, in the analysis of these models we found some wrinkles and don't know where is the best place to start looking for a fix. The problems we see (so far) are that 1. predict ignores newdata 2. anova does not work Here is the small working example: ---------------------------- x

I'm writing to ask if R Core would make file.exists more Windows tolerant when the argument has a trailing slash. This has been discussed by users a few times here, I know it is not a new topic. But it is not a solved problem, yet. I acknowledge that CRAN packages exist which fix this by replacing file.exists(), but it seems more elegant to me to fix the problem in R itself. R Core goes to

I'm aware R-devel no longer includes zlib. This works find on up-to-date Linux systems. On the older Centos 6 cluster at KU, they have zlib tool old for R-devel. The R-devel configure fails thus: checking if zlib version >= 1.2.5... no checking whether zlib support suffices... configure: error: zlib library and headers are required In other software, I've seen this kind of thing, so

Yesterday I uploaded new rockchalk_1.8.97. Then I received email saying that I needed to confirm the submission. Here's the message. Dear Paul E. Johnson Someone has submitted the package rockchalk to CRAN. You are receiving this email to confirm the submission as the maintainer of this package. To confirm the submission to CRAN, follow or copy & paste the following link into your

Dear R users who might like to use the package RNetCDF on Fedora Linux: Fedora (versions 4 and 5) users might have noticed that the default install of the netcdf and netcdf-devel packages from the Fedora Extra archive is inconsistent with the R package RNetCDF. The attempt to install RNetCDF results in a failure in the configure stage because the header & library info for netcdf cannot

Dear R-devel: i have noticed a little wrinkle in R packaging for RPM systems and have communicated with the package maintainer at RedHat Tom Callaway (see far below). Here is the question: Where does R Core Team want packagers to fiddle around with R library paths? Currently, the RPM Spec file used for EPEL's R (For Fedora/Redhat/Centos,etc) adds a line in R_HOME/etc/Renviron like this:

Greetings, friends (and others :) ) We generated a bunch of results and saved them in an RData file. We can open, use, all is well, except that the size of the saved file is quite a bit larger than we expected. I suspect there's something floating about in there that one of the packages we are using puts in, such as a spare copy of a data frame that is saved in some subtle way that has

This is a basic Windows system administrator problem, asked by a Linux guy who is helping out in a Windows lab. I want to keep R packages up to date on MS Windows 7 with a job in the "Task Scheduler". I have an R program that I can run (as administrator) that updates the existing packages and then installs all the new ones. I do not understand how to run that in a dependable way in

Dear R Devel Some of our R users are still insisting we run R-2.15.3 because of difficulties with a package called OpenMX. It can't cooperate with new R, oh well. Other users need to run R-3.0.1. I'm looking for the most direct route to install both, and allow users to choose at runtime. In the cluster, things run faster if I install RPMs to each node, rather than putting R itself on

1. One general question for general discussion: Is HLM6 faster than lmer? If so, why? What should I watch for to spot the differences? I'm always advocating R to students, but some faculty members are skeptical. A colleague compared the commercial HLM6 software to lmer. HLM6 seems to fit the model in 1 second, but lmer takes 60 seconds. My first thought was that LM6 uses PQL by default,

Quite possibly, I should keep my big mouth shut and let the CRAN'ers answer this, but at face value, you submit a new version and are asked to confirm that problems with the previous version are fixed; isn't that as it should be? -pd On 08 Feb 2016, at 16:10 , Paul Johnson <pauljohn32 at gmail.com> wrote: > Yesterday I uploaded new rockchalk_1.8.97.

I'm attaching a file foo.Rnw and I'm hoping some of you might run it through your R & latex systems to find out if the double-quotes in typewriter font turn out as black boxes (as they do for me). If you don't use Sweave, but you have a system with a working version of R and LaTeX, the file gives the instructions you need to use to process the file. The The file itself explains

Hello, everybody: I'm experimenting more with Sweave, R, and LyX. There's now an entry in the LyX wiki on using R, so anybody can do it! http://wiki.lyx.org/LyX/LyxWithRThroughSweave Now I notice this frustrating thing. I think I've done everything possible to make the Design library start up without any fanfare: <<echo=F,quiet=T,print=F>>= library(Design, verbose=F)

The bickering here about Centos 6 has made me wonder what is actually legally necessary to re-distribute the RPM files that come with RHel6. I am not starting a flame ware, I hope. I'm just curious about what is minimally necessary go from RHel6 to another distribution. I suppose we could discuss "Paul Linux 6" instead of Centos, if that makes you feel more comfortable. (and not

Have you seen this problem? I downloaded CentOS-6.2-i386-bin-DVD1.iso verified the md5sum, wrote on a DVD, verified that against the iso. When I boot a computer with that disk, It does not present the usual Linux install menu, it jumps to a thing called Gnome Partition Manager, and that offers a weird sort of "live disk" interface. There is no way to start an install, so far as I can

Suppose plotx <- "someName" modx <- "otherName" plotxRange <- c(10,20) modxVals <- c(1,2,3) It often happens I want to create a dataframe or object with plotx or modx as the variable names. But can't understand syntax to do that. I can get this done in 2 steps, creating the data frame and then assigning names, as in newdf <- data.frame( c(1, 2, 3, 4),

I set up a local repo for testing packages. My packages are not showing up from the repository when viewed by Linux clients. I suspect this is a web administrator/firewall issue, but it could be I created the repo wrongly. I am supposed to run write_PACKAGES separately in each R-version folder. Right? Maybe other novices can use these scripts, if they are not wrong :) Here's the file
