Hello everyone. My 'wikiname' is JariJaakkola. I have a desire to be able to contribute to the CentOS community in some way. So, I am proposing a page that would be called a 'Newcomer's Checklist'. I feel the location of such page could best be decided by someone else as it would at least depend on the quality/usefulness of the page. Thank you, Jari -- Jari Jaakkola

Yes, Ralph. I also found out that I had been vague. What I have in mind is a 'Newcomer's Checklist' for 'New Users' or 'Newbie Installers' of one/both of the current/supported distributions 5.x and 6.x. And it should -in my thinking- begin just by making sure the 'Newcomer' is able to detect which distros are current, and the type they need. So I feel there

I find it a bit peculiar that a package skeleton created with a utils function package.skeleton() fails subsequent R CMD check. I do understand that the function is intended to produce only a skeleton that should be edited by the package author. I think that it would be justified to say that the skeleton *should* fail the test. However, I have two arguments against intentional failure: * When you

Dear Mr Moderator, please let me through. I want to reply to my own thread. I once subscribed to this list, but then my subscription was not accepted. Now to the business: The final failure came from missing .install.macbinary() function. I grepped R-patched sourcesand the only instance of .install.macbinary() was the call to the function in R- patched/src/library/utils/R/packages2.R (stupid

The R-exts manual says about 'Suggests' field in package DESCRIPTION: "The optional `Suggests' field uses the same syntax as `Depends' and lists packages that are not necessarily needed." However, this seems to be a suggestion you cannot refuse. If you suggest packages: (a line from DESCRIPTION): Suggests: MASS, ellipse, rgl, mgcv, akima, lattice This is what happens:

Message 2 of today: it works now. After re-installing R.app from the same R-2.1.0.dmg file, and fixInNamespace'ing(*) install.packages(), I managed to update 23 outdated packages from CRAN binaries for MacOS X. What I did was to: 1. change call to .install.macbinaries() into call to install.binaries() in install.packages(). install.binaries() is a function defined utils/R/aqua/GUI.R. 2. I

Canberra distance is defined in function `dist' (standard library `mva') as sum(|x_i - y_i| / |x_i + y_i|) Obviously this is undefined for cases where both x_i and y_i are zeros. Since double zeros are common in many data sets, this is a nuisance. In our field (from which the distance is coming), it is customary to remove double zeros: contribution to distance is zero when both x_i

Actually, I do agree with you about Microsoft. But they have so many users that their terminology should not be ignored.

Thanks for the attention paid to my rpoblem. Please find enclosed the matrix with my dissimilarities. This is the only case in which sammon(), from the MASS package, gives me this kind of problems.

Dear R people, I am not sure if this is the correct place to tell about problems in evolving programmes, but it seems that the `summary.negbin' function of the excellent `MASS' library is now broken, and gives the following error message: > summary(hm) Error in summary.negbin(hm) : subscript out of bounds `summary.negbin' calls `summary.glm' which seems to work and give the

I finally found a solution to our problem. I think some people running like us a combination CentOS 64 bits\Sun Grid Engine, could encounter the same situation. Here is a detailed explanation, hope it can be useful to someone! The file /usr/lib/locale/locale-archive is a memory-mapped file used by glibc (the gnu C library). This file contains the languages used over the system (for instance, man

I came to R from GLIM and its glm. My data sets (ecological community data) are severely over-dispersed, and so I was delighted to find out that the MASS library has glm.nb which is an advancement from the GLIM macros I had used (N.E.Breslow, Applied Statistics 33, 38--44; 1984). However, I need to use offset, but that failed. I am not (yet --- hopefully) fluent enough in R to be able to

Hello, I am attempting to use the ANOVA.CCA function with the by="margin" option. The process works fine using the by="terms" option and I note in the Vegan manual that Jari suggests that an error may occur if the anova does not have access to the data on the original constraints. This is the error that I get: Error in dimnames(x) <- dn : length of 'dimnames'

I upgraded R-base 1.2.0 today, and then I intended to give a finishing touch to some R functions I should send out today. To my surprise, they failed in R 1.2 although they still worked fine in R 1.0.1 (I checked in another machine). The error message I got was like this: > optci(trar.g, water) Error in unique(c("AsIs", class(x))) : Object "x" not found The function

Just leave it, I think. Some nations have 4 national languages (as Martin will know), some languages are not national, and adopted children often do not speak their native (=born) language... I suspect someone already put a substantial amount of thought into the terminology. -pd > On 1 Sep 2017, at 09:45 , Martin Maechler <maechler at stat.math.ethz.ch> wrote: >

Dear developers, I just noticed that step() function currently prints the current model using message(), but the resulting model using print(). The relevant commands within the step() body are: if (trace) message("Start: AIC=", format(round(bAIC, 2)), "\n", cut.string(deparse(as.vector(formula(fit)))), "\n") (with example() output:) Start: AIC=190.69
