similar to: R-alpha: Proposal for a new R doc source format

--xk+LtGr+JJ Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Attached is a conversion script for converting current R doc files to the proposed new format ... I'm not sure if it handles everything correctly, as I made just some random checks. The main purpose for posting the thing to the list is such that those interested can get a look at the new format. Of

The patch below fixes the NChisquare documentation problem that I've been mentioning for some time now. NOTE: There is one DEQN where the LaTeX part contains real LaTeX code, because I did not see how to get a sum sign (and a roman math font) otherwise. Seems to work, though ...

Hola! I have the following in a .Rd file: \eqn{\mbox{coef} = c(\mbox{coef}[1],\ldots, \mbox{coef}[n]) } {coef = c(coef[1], coef[2], \dots, coef[n])} However, both arguments come out in the latex file! Whats happening? Kjetil Halvorsen

Hi, I am doing a small experiment to test if I can use MathJax ( official site: http://www.mathjax.org ) in R's html help pages (i.e. options(help_type='html')) and it seems working with some minor modifications. The screenshot (rendered by Firefox 4.0 beta and with STIX fonts) of the help page in html format with MathJax enabled is at the following url:

I have constructed the function mml2 (below) based on the likelihood function described in the minimal latex I have pasted below for anyone who wants to look at it. This function finds parameter estimates for a basic Rasch (IRT) model. Using the function without the gradient, using either nlminb or optim returns the correct parameter estimates and, in the case of optim, the correct standard

I'm not sure who is responsible for quantile(), but I assume they read this list. Ivan Frohne and I have produced a revision of the quantile.default() function which enables the computation of alternative sample quantile definitions. The code and .Rd file are attached. This enables the user to produce quantiles that are equivalent to those in various statistics package. There is a type

I should'nt have sent the last mail so fast. Same problem with \eqn{u_j = a_j + b x + c x^2, \quad j=1, \ldots, r-1} {u[j] = a[j] + b*x + c*x^2 j = 1,\dots,r-1} I thought the problem in the first case could have to do with the use use of \mbox{} (with the braces) within the arguments of \eqn, but here there are none braces in the arguments of \eqn{}{}. Another case giving the

I'm currently working on writing up some documentation for some of my code, but am having the darndest time coding in equations. For example, the equation in the following: \details{ Calculated the R Squared for observed endogenous variables in a structural equation model, as well as several other useful summary statistics about the error in thoe variables. R Squared values are

Hello all: I have written a few R scripts and am trying to turn them into a package for submission to CRAN. All of these scripts are R code only, no C or C++ or anything else. I'm working with R 2.0.1 running on a Windows XP machine. So far running ">rcmd install --build --docs=normal mypkge" seems to work (i.e., the library "mypkge" is installed in R\rw2001\library and

I present you with a function that solves a problem that has bugged me for many years. I think the problem may be general enough to at least consider adding this function, or a revamped version of it, to the 'stats' package, with the other multinomial functions reside. I'm using R to export data to text files, which are input data for an external model written in C++. Parts of the

--=-hiYzUeWcRJ/+kx41aPIZ Content-Type: text/plain; charset="UTF-8" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Hi, on March 10 I filed a wishlist bug report asking for the inclusion of some changes to factanal() and the associated print method. The changes were originally proposed by John Fox in 2005; they make print.factanal() display factor correlations if factanal() is called with rotation =

It seems that many package authors do not proofread the help installed with their packages. The Rd converter is not a parser, and it will silently produce incorrect results on incorrect input (and some correct input). Here are a few hints about some common errors: 1) When you run R CMD check you get a PDF manual at <pkg>.Rcheck/<pkg>-manual.pdf. Read through it looking for

Paul Murrell and I are making some progress with making mathematical expressions available in graphs. The idea is to use R expressions to represent the mathematical expressions. So far we have (or will soon have): R LaTeX x^i x^i x[i] x_i alpha \alpha Alpha \Alpha hat(x) \hat{x} \widehat{x} bar(x) \bar{x} \overline{x} x+y x+y x-y x-y x/y x/y (x) (x) {x} {x} frac(x,y)

Hi, This is a problem about writing R documentation (R-exts 2.6). The command "\deqn" defined in "Rd.sty" is: \newcommand{\deqn}[2]{\[#1\]} which will put mathematical formulae in the "displaymath" environment; that means line breaks are not allowed (or will not be shown) in formulae, but sometimes we do need multiple lines of formulae. One solution is to write

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

I've just committed the parse_Rd() function to R-devel. This is a parser for Rd files, described in http://developer.r-project.org/parseRd.pdf It is not identical to the current parser, and about a dozen of the base man pages currently signal syntax errors. It also detected errors in 10 files that were errors according to both definitions, but were missed by the current system, and

I am using both nlminb and optim to get MLEs from a likelihood function I have developed. AFAIK, the model I has not been previously used in this way and so I am struggling a bit to unit test my code since I don't have another data set to compare this kind of estimation to. The likelihood I have is (in tex below) \begin{equation} \label{eqn:marginal} L(\beta) = \prod_{s=1}^N \int

The document R-exts contains the following example of using mathematics in R documentation. \deqn{p(x) = {\lambda^x\ \frac{e^{-\lambda}}{x!}} {p(x) = lambda^x exp(-lambda)/x!} There is a syntax error in there, but that's not my point. The problem is that using "R CMD Rd2dvi" I find that putting the alternate forms of the equation on top of each other doesn't work.
