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

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

At the Vienna meeting we discussed the problems encountered on some operating systems when storing many small files in a directory. In particular the directories $RHOME/library/base/help/, $RHOME/library/base/R-ex/, and $RHOME/library/base/data/ can take up an enormous amount of storage on the Macintosh or on Windows systems because the minimum amount of storage per distinct file is quite large.

I've made a package from some benchmark datasets for use with R and uploaded it to CRAN. Here's the Index entry: mlbench-0.1.tar.gz: A collection of artificial and real-world machine learning benchmark problems, including, e.g., the boston housing data from the UCI repository. Written/packaged by Fritz Leisch <Friedrich.Leisch at ci.tuwien.ac.at> Original data sets from

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 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 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 all, thanks help by Thomas Lumley (who provided us also with a beautiful logo!) I've finally made a start for an html frontend for CRAN. It should be available on all mirror sites tomorrow. The master site is at http://www.ci.tuwien.ac.at/R and the usual mirror sites are http://www.stat.unipg.it/pub/stat/statlib/R/CRAN/ (IASC archive, Italy) ftp://ftp.u-aizu.ac.jp/pub/lang/R/CRAN/

NA's in a data frame are not handled properly, if the data frame was read in using read.table (but I'm not sure if that is the reason of the problems): (I'm using Debian Linux 1.3) If I read the file *************** 1 2 2 3 3 4 4 5 ? 6 6 7 7 8 8 9 *************** into R using read.table I run into troubles: R : Copyright 1997, Robert Gentleman and Ross Ihaka Version 0.49 Beta

I've just posted an email to R-help with instructions on creating a Firefox keyword search of the R documentation: https://www.stat.math.ethz.ch/pipermail/r-help/2004-November/059272.html The method involves bookmarking the RHOME/doc/html/search/SearchObject.html file. Currently this page is set up to only search help page titles: line = line + document.SearchEngine.search

I finally upgraded to Firefox 3.05 from 2.x, and now I can reproduce a bug a colleague has been complaining about but which I hadn't been able to reproduce before. In Windows, set Firefox as the default browser. Then in Rgui (seems to affect all versions up to R-devel), use the menu to open HTML Help, and choose "Search Engine and Keywords". Enter a keyword (e.g. plot), and
