Hola, Yo creo que probé de las primeras versiones de R, aunque todavía tenía ciertas dudas sobre su futuro porque por aquel entonces ya usaba S-Plus en el trabajo y no veía mucha necesidad de usar algo menos potente (trabajaba en ATT y tuvimos visitas del grupo de Bell-Labs de Bill Cleveland, nos hicieron unos desarrollos sobre Splus para unos temas de producción bastante alucinantes - de esto

Yes. pty is another, for example. > I think that in fact "mfg" is only meant to be queried. No. One use for setting mfg is to produce a page of plots in portrait orientation with, say, two small plots on the top half of the page

I would like to introduce R to the statistical community at large in the Washington, D.C. area. I will be giving a presentation, a part of which will be devoted to a discussion of R, before the Washington Statistical Society (WSS) on 15 October. Anyone residing in the D.C. area is welcomed to come. Also, if a developer should have plans of being Washington and would

Hello, I am looking for an explanation and/or fix for a discrepancy in the behaviour of the R lm.influence() function [ version R 1.5.0 (2002-04-29) ] and the same function in Splus [ Splus version 5.1 release 1, running on SGI IRIX 6.2]. The discrepancy is of concern because I am migrating some Splus scripts to R and need to ensure consistency of results. Specifically, when I fit a glm()

I thought R users might be interested (surprised) to hear that R will have some competition on Linux now.

1) I have been working on making R libraries more like those in S. I thought it might be advisable to discuss the ideas before springing them on you. What I have done is changed things so that each library has its own frame on the search path. E.g. > search() [1] ".GlobalEnv" "library:base" > library("eda") > search() [1] ".GlobalEnv"

The .Options vector had been introduced a while ago after my suggestion (see Ross's E-mail below). .Options$digits is used be default in several print methods (eg print.lm), however, deparse(.) e.g., uses options()$width, and not .Options$width. Another problem is that .Options is still not in the documentation (on-line help). Before one could add it there, we'd need ``the

Hello everyone, We have a CentOS 6.3 NFSv4 server and client, and we've run into a situation where the client is unable to list "private" (chmod 700-ed) directories, even if the current user owns the directory in question. A bit more background: we're also using Samba 3.5+Winbind to provide authentication and UID/GID mapping against a Windows 2008 R2 domain controller.

list.files() (and dir()) don't appear to return names of directories when one uses the recursive=T argument. E.g., > dir(file.path(R.home(),"library"), pattern="^R$", recursive=T) [1] "Malmig/help/R" but the unix find commmand finds lots of R directories > z <- system(paste("find", file.path(R.home(),"library"), "-name
