In their paper, "Lexical Scope and Statistical Computing", the authors ( Gentleman and Ihaka ) go to great length explaining why R's use of lexical scoping creates advantages when doing statistical computations. If anyone has or is familiar with this paper, could they provide the main program code for how the "newton" function would be called in their example on page 500

Great news! Having spent a significant amount of time porting/mantaining some packages on S4/Splus 5.x and R, I'm interested in your experience as you port Hmisc and Design; I'd like to know of your progress in order to help improve available R/Splus portability tools both at the C and the S language code. These tools include the package SLanguage written by John Chambers, and

I think I now understand how R looks up names. Could anyone tell me if I have this right? First it looks up the nested environments created by lexical scoping. Then, if it gets to the top (.GlobalEnv) it also looks through the list of things that have been "attach"ed. It never looks in the call stack unless you explicitly ask it to, or mess with the environment frames. The reason I

Greetings! The Bioconductor core group would like to announce the 5th release of Bioconductor, version 1.4. There are many new packages as well as several major upgrades and fixes in older packages, and users are encouraged to upgrade existing tools and check out the new packages.

More to the point: I think, we could

After several nice and informative discussions with Bill Venables, Duncan Temple Lang, Tony Rossini, Martin Maechler, and Robert Gentleman, I am pleased to announce that I am becoming an R user and have begun porting the Hmisc and Design libraries to R. I have been very impressed with the maturity of R and with its logical design, particularly its online documentation setup and the way packages
