John Fox (see below) raises important questions for the Lisp-stat community (and perhaps the R community) to consider. This message thread was not cross-posted to r-devel@lists.r-project.org, so I do so now. I have never been an active or particularly adept Lisp-stat programmer. But I have worked on or used several projects for which Lisp-stat seemed the ideal environment-- for implementing

I was obviously fascinated by Duncan's earlier message on RXLisp. I managed to build a working version of RXLisp for OS X, by some unabashed and rather uninformed hacking. I compiled XLISP-STAT using the gcc flags -fno-common and --no-cpp-precomp (not sure if they are necessary or not, they are part of an older hack). I "make libxlisp.so", using Duncan's replacement for the

Hi, this is not an R-help post, but I found this extract below that was written by a leading mathematician back in 1999 when he was talking about statistics and computing. I found it interesting to share and I ask your opinion do you think this still holds today or things have changed? Thanks. ?...we would also like to mention that in our opinion Mathematica provides an excellent and indeed

Dear all, One of my friends asked me if it is possible to extract actual R function arguments literally (precisely, as strings). The reason is simple. He feels sometimes awkward to attach quotation marks :-). What he actually wants is to pass R command arguments to XLisp subroutines (He has been an enthusiastic XLisp user for a long time and still tends to use R as a wrapper to XLisp). Is it

Dear R users, I was trying to install the package RXLisp by Duncan Temple Lang on a MDK 9.1 Linux machine running R 1.8.0 installed from a RPM. Unfortunately I had a problem loading the shared library into R. Since I'm a Linux newbie I was not able to solve the problem. Maybe some of you can help me. First of all I downloaded the source archive for Xlisp-Stat and for the RXlisp package.

The Department of Statistics at the Faculty of Mathematics, Informatics and Statistics of the Ludwig-Maximilians Universit?t in Munich invites applications for a Professorship (W2) (6 years/tenure track) for Statistics with Special Emphasis on Computational Statistics as soon as possible. The professorship represents the entire field of computational statistics in research and teaching.

So far, I had made RXLisp by putting all foo.o from XLISP-STAT in an archive, and linking that into RXLisp.so. I have gotten somewhat further in using dynamic libraries. Here is what I now do. in XLS 1. Copy xlisp modifications from RXLisp 2. configure --host=powerpc-apple-darwin6.2 3. make libxlisp.so CC="gcc -fno-common -L/sw/lib -I/sw/include" 4. gcc -dynamiclib -flat_namespace

Awhile back there was a lengthy discussion regarding R GUI's for teaching, etc. I was wondering if anyone has set up the web page which was to be dedicated to this issue. Philippe Grosjean had the idea of creating a R-GUI projects page. Also, is anyone using a "R-GUI" (for windows) for teaching basic statistics to students doing applied science degrees? Something based perhaps
