similar to: development snapshot of Design package

There have recently been several postings etc that the R FAQ provides incorrect information. What really is the case is that the info is OUTDATED. The FAQ is for version 0.49, as more or less explicitly stated in 2.3, ``What is the Current Version of R?''. The sort-of current Unix version of R, 0.50-a4, was meant as an alpha version (hence the a4) rather than a full release. By the

On Fri, 14 Nov 1997, Jim Lindsey <jlindsey at luc.ac.be> sent an email to r-devel describing his first shot at porting Design and Hmisc to R. A few days later, his port snapshot of Design was uploaded to CRAN's src/contrib/devel area, and has since been available from there. A few weeks ago, Andreas Weingessel <A.Weingessel at ci.tuwien.ac.at> had a look into porting Hmisc to R

Dirk Eddelbuettel and Albrecht Gephardt have created many Debian packages of R packages from CRAN and other archives. I wanted to install all these Debian packages on a machine running the Debian testing distribution. One way to do this is to search (using the apt-cache program) for all Debian package names that begin with 'r-', extract the package name, and concatenate all those names

Hi, Looking into LLVM for a database query engine project... After downloading the latest source from CVS, it's my first time trying to build LLVM. Following the "Getting Started" instructions, all went well until gmake reported this error while trying to link llc: In function `(anonymous namespace)::BreakCriticalEdges::getAnalysisUsage(llvm::AnalysisUsage&) const':

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":

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

Hello, No luck in loading Frank Harrell's packages -- did anyone encountered the same problem?

I'm looking for design and hmisc version 2.0 for R 1.8 for windows. I've found design 2.0 in the downloads for R1.7 but not hmisc. I've also checked Dr. Harrell's site and it only goes to 1.6 for windows. Any thoughts? Shawn Way

Dear R users I use Windows XP, R2.5.1 (I have read the posting guide, I have contacted the package maintainer first, it is not homework). In a research project on renal cell carcinoma we want to compute Harrell's c index, with optimism correction, for a multivariate Cox regression and also for some univariate Cox models. For some of these univariate models I have encountered an error

Hello, using the Design library, and the following command (from the Harrell's book, example at Ch.20): dd <- datadist(rx, age, wt, pf, pf.coded, heart, map, hg, sz, sg, ap, bm) options(datadist=='dd') I get the following error: Error in datadist == "dd" : comparison (1) possible only for atomic data or list What does it means? thank you, giulia

Dear all, I used cph() function from Frank harrell's Design package to create a survival model, then used functions 'Function' and 'sascode' to generate prediction equation based on the saved survival model. But it failed. I included a stratified variable in the model. If I removed the stratification, they were working well. Does that mean that function 'Function'

All, I have been reading Dr. Harrell's excellent "Regression Modeling Strategies" book and trying out the exercises. I understand that contrast( ) is used to obtain contrasts between two variables for given levels of other nuisance variables; is there a way to use contrast( ) to obtain, for example, Scheffe confidence intervals / hypothesis tests for many post hoc contrasts at
