I tried to convert hastie & tibshiranis mda package to R but ended with a bunch of unresolved symbols: R.binary: can't resolve symbol 'dbksl_' R.binary: can't resolve symbol 'dblepr_' R.binary: can't resolve symbol 'dqrdca_' R.binary: can't resolve symbol 'intpr_' R.binary: can't resolve symbol 'pack_' R.binary: can't resolve

maybe we've already diskussed this before, but Kurt and I can't remember ... is.vector() of an one-dimensional array returns FALSE. this is also the behavior of Splus, but totally counter-intuitive for me ... IMO an array of dimension 1 is exactly the definition of a vector ... it also breaks our current plot.factor, which is simply a barplot(table(x)) table() returns an

I know, we've discussed this several times in the good old days days of the R-testers list :-), but the problem is still unsolved. I want to include Tibshirani's data in my port of the bootstrap package, but we still have no way of including data in a clean way. IMHO we should have a subdirectory of $RHOME/data for each library, e.g. $RHOME/data/base $RHOME/data/bootstrap Actually

NEW: CRAN/src/contrib/devel/mda_0.1-1.tar.gz I have made a first shot at porting the Hastie & Tibshirani mda package t= o R ... this is almost not tested at all ... but it works for the iris data and what else could a statistician be possibly interested in anyway = :-) All BRUTO stuff is missing because there are some unresolved symbols: R.binary: can't resolve symbol

I have created the above directory for contributed R packages that are considered as ``in development''. It is intended as a central marketplace for code that is for various reasons ``unstable'' or ``incomplete'' but might be useful for others. If you want to contribute some code, please include a README file in the tar ball describing the problems etc. I have started

I have added a preliminary version of a tabular environment to Rdconv and committed it to the current development sources. Syntax: \tabular{format}{ aaa \tab bbb \tab ccc \cr xxx \tab yyy \tab zzz } i.e., the column seperator is \tab and the line seperator is \cr format is a usual LaTeX tabular format string, e.g in the above example it could be `lll' giving three left justified

Hi, I've converted all functions etc. from V&R's MASS library to R ... everything's in mass_5.2pl005-2.tar.gz in the devel section of CRAN. Below is the README: ********************************************************** This is a first shot at porting the whole main section of V&R's MASS library to R --- and only for cool people with a brave heart :-) Porting was done

Hi, I've just committed a few changes to the R make process, such that we support the standard ./configure make make install triple from now on. It should be included in tomorrows snapshot sources. The default installation directory hierarchy should be /usr/local on most systems, but this may vary. The installation prefix can be set using ./configure --prefix=3D... and you can see

Hi, I've completed a re-design of the R html help pages over the weekend (without the Kitzb=FChel ski races on TV I would have had some more time ...). The design is actually not from me but from Tanja Afra, a student of our department. Anyway, I've put a snapshot on http://www.ci.tuwien.ac.at/~leisch/R/doc/html/index.html please have a look and feel free to make any suggestions when

Hi, is there any way to exchange (A LOT OF) data between SPPS and R/Splus, i.e., I want to get data from SPSS into R. It is a huge data frame with many columns being factors, so manual conversion is out of question (and there are more data to come). Exporting ASCII from SPSS seems to loose all level names, and the portable SPSS format doesn't look too nice. I've searched S-news and

Is there some sort of replot function, i.e., reproducing the current plot like gnuplot's command replot? Of course it's easy to issue a plot command twice, but after several lines statements it gets a little bit annoying ... and the plot disappears each time one resizes the window, changes from single plot to multiple plots etc. Just dreaming ...
