similar to: R-alpha: help files of base package

Hi, here's a short summary of all the mails I got concerning the R help system during the last days ... I really want to have all open questions in this list, so if I forgot your most important topic please forgive (and remind me again) ... it's probably only because of lack of time such that I had to compile the list in a hurry ... Ok, here we go: 1) It would be useful to have a button

close to ``unbelievable'' but the following line is not parsed correctly but gives a syntax error : x <- 1  ## A = 1 --please do not edit the information below-- Version: platform = i686-pc-linux-gnu arch = i686 os = linux-gnu system = i686, linux-gnu status = major = 1 minor = 2.3 year = 2001 month = 04 day = 26 language = R Search Path: .GlobalEnv, package:ctest,

Full_Name: Victor Anyakin Version: OS: Submission from: (NULL) (212.109.44.52) This is an enhancement request, probably, some sort of a Wiki engine could be installed on the web site, or some other system, which would cover some basic information about various aspectes of R. Currently, I am trying to find some information about GUI application development on R. A number of various projects

The problem is the following # make docs Make: Don't know how to make ../src/library/*/man/*.Rd. Stop. *** Exit 1 (ignored) # I am using a DEC alpha 200/4/233 with Digital Unix 3.2D My previous version of R was R-0.50-a1. I have installed around 3 or 4 previous versions on the same system and never had a problem (but, then the Makefile was very different). The first make to compile

Dear R developers, sorry about the empty bug-report that I seem to have filed earlier. (I wrote it via `bug.report()' from within R using `emacsclient'. I wasn't aware that I have to save the file after pressing C-x # and before sending it.) Hopefully this time it will work...... I noticed the following problem with the on-line help system: 1) I start an R session and type

As mentioned earlier I want to decentralize the package descriptions of all contributed packages: Please make sure to include a file called DESCRIPTION in every package which looks like: ********************************************************** Package: e1071 Version: 0.7-3 Author: Compiled by Fritz Leisch <Friedrich.Leisch at ci.tuwien.ac.at>.

I've put all ``current'' add-on packages into CRAN's source/contrib tree and created an INDEX file (attached below). As you can see, currently we have acepack bootstrap ctest date e1071 fracdiff gee jpn snns splines survival4 (Yes, e1071 and jpn are new ... more on the latter in a later mail.) In the near future, I am hoping for the following: oz (Bill

I've made a package from some benchmark datasets for use with R and uploaded it to CRAN.

Thanks to Peter Dalgaard's message, I learned a bit more about the 'par' function and rewrote my HTML help file accordingly. Is it appropriate to submit such changes somewhere to improve the documentation? I would also be willing to write some missing documentation as well.

Just a word to mention that I have lost 2 hours yesterday to find out why R refused to use a function from a package calling C-code. R invariably answered that the C code was not in the load table (something like this). I have tried everything (or nearly) to solve my problem knowing that this same package used to work on my computer at the university. Finally, I found out that running the same

Can you confirm this problem : ###--------- RESHAPING x11() window has more problems: ---- x11() plot(1:8)# as expected: <<<<<<<< NO Problem, if you OMIT this plot !! ##-- now RESHAPE the x11() - window ! par(pty = 's') # should make SQUARE plotting region plot(1:8) #-- oops, not yet... plot(1:8) # now !

Martin Your revisions to my S--R compatability code suggest that tempfile() is in R after 0.49. I don't find that to be the case. It requires code from Friedrich Leisch which still has to be added as of 0.50 alpha3.

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

With help by Kurt and Martin I have written a short proposal for a new R doc source format that should be easier to parse using, e.g., perl. There should be especially a clearer distinction between text and keywords. Here we go, please make comments, corrections, etc. Best, Fritz ********************************************************** Conversion: ----------- A perl module providing

Read this morning >>> R : Copyright 1998, Robert Gentleman and Ross Ihaka >>> Version 0.61.2 Alpha (March 15, 1998) ----- So, there still is no "R beta" around.... - If I didn't know R, would I use a statistics software, if it was still in alpha testing state? - Is this really what we want to tell people about R? More to the point: I think, we could
