similar to: R-alpha: R 0.50.a3 problem with `make tests'

Not sure if I already reported this ... it seems that as of 0.50.a2, the adj graphics parameter is completely ignored. Try e.g. plot(1:10) title(main = "This is a title", adj = 0) title(main = "This is a title", adj = 1) No difference ... -k =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- r-devel mailing list -- Read

A few problems in R-0.50-a3 (which were also in R-0.49): 1) y <- c(10,11,12,13,14,NA,NA) n <- length(y) missed <- (1:n)[is.na(y)] notmissed <- (1:n)[!is.na(y)] blocks <- cut(missed,breaks=c(0,notmissed,n+1)) a <- function(v) { q <- range(v) c(q[1]-1,q[2]+1) } brackets <- tapply(missed,blocks,a) This codes gives the following in S: > brackets $"0+ thru 1":

This is a bug both in R and S-plus (in R it's "worse"), I think. Look at this : ma <- cbind(1,1:8); logi <- rep(c(T,F),4) ma[logi,] ##> [,1] [,2] ##> [1,] 1 1 ##> [2,] 1 3 ##> [3,] 1 5 ##> [4,] 1 7 ##-- now the same with [ , drop = FALSE] ## R (-0.50-a3) : ma[logi, drop = F] ##>> Error: invalid subscript type ##

It is very wierd... Can some of you confirm the following behavior ? It is a new bug (feature ?) which was not yet in 0.49 ... noquote <- function(obj) { ## constructor for a useful "minor" class if(!inherits(obj,"noquote")) class(obj) <- c(class(obj),"noquote") obj } "[.noquote" <- function (x, subs) structure(unclass(x)[subs], class =

I am using the 0.50 alpha version of R packaged (in 3 parts) by Kurt for Debian Linux. Package: r-base Status: install ok installed Priority: optional Section: local Maintainer: Kurt Hornik <Kurt.Hornik at ci.tuwien.ac.at> Version: 0.50b7-1 Depends: libc5, xlib6, libreadline2 Description: R, a language not entirely unlike the language S.

Evaluate the following example to get the behavior : --- anybody: patch ? --- tst.i <- function(x) { if(missing(x)) return(invisible()) else if(!is.numeric(x)) stop("x must be numeric") ## else invisible((x+3)^2) } tst.i()#-- should NOT print anything !! print(mode(tst.i()))#--gives "NULL" both in S-plus 3.4 and R 0.60 tst.i(1)# nothing (ok in R and

Today I received an email which made me realize that what I wrote in the FAQ explaining the different behavior of Martin's plot.step() under R and S is not really true. Does someone understand what is going on in the following? "test" <- function(x, y, xlab = deparse(substitute(x)), ylab = deparse(substitute(y))) { x <- sort(x) print(xlab) n <- length(x) y <-

A set of patches for R-0.50-a1 is now available as ftp://stat.auckland.ac.nz/pub/R/R-0.50-a1.patch1.gz The patches mainly fix problems reported since R-0.50-a1 but some older problems are also fixed. Here is the list of changes. Ross o Many subsetting and mutation problems with the new "expression" type have now been fixed. o When ask=T is set in par() the user is instructed

I've just completing porting the S jpn package to R (available in CRAN's source/contrib). Some remarks: * It seems that S allows recycling when subscripting with logicals, but R does not. E.g., R> x <- 1:5 R> x [1] 1 2 3 4 5 R> i <- c(F, T) R> x[i] Error: invalid subscript type R> In S, this is treated as x[rep(i, length = length(x))]. * It also seems that S does

Ross mentioned last week that it would be nice to eventually have a real `make install'. As a preparation, we should perhaps rename the current install-help install-latex install-html targets to help latex [or dvi???] html and perhaps test-Examples to test I can of course make the changes, but I thought I'd ask for a good new name for the corresponding scripts in RHOME/etc.

Suppose we have a data file containing: "Smith, John", 120, 90 "Thomson, Peter", 110, 85 there are 3 variables in it. If we use x <- read.table("tmp.txt", sep=",") to read the data to a data.frame, the result will be 4 columns. Splus 4.0 have no problem with this kind of data. Li Dongfeng
