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

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

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 completed a re-design of the R html help pages over the weekend (without the Kitzb=FChel ski races on TV I would have had some more time ...). The design is actually not from me but from Tanja Afra, a student of our department. Anyway, I've put a snapshot on http://www.ci.tuwien.ac.at/~leisch/R/doc/html/index.html please have a look and feel free to make any suggestions when

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

In S it is possible to "split" a matrix into its rows, using split(matrix, 1:number_of_rows). This is not possible in R. Example: R: R> split(matrix(rnorm(1:20),4, 5), 1:4) Error in split(x, as.factor(f)) : argument lengths differ S: > split(matrix(rnorm(1:20),4, 5), 1:4) $"1": [1] -0.1804794 0.5269439 0.6248224 -0.3243427 -1.2987407 $"2": [1] 0.9384254

Perhaps, the question is silly. But, I prefer asking it before making a mistake. I have just packed a binary distribution of R for Windows3.1/Win32s. It is equivalent to the previous one for Win95/NT (R-0.61.3 + many of the available packages) and it is compiled with egcs-mingw32 (GPL not a commercial compiler). Now, in preparing the README, I put the following sentence:
