A slightly revised version of my DSE package for multi-variate time series analysis is now available at <www.bank-banque-canada.ca/pgilbert>. This version works with R 0.90.1 (and not with R 90.0 or earlier versions). It can also be installed with install.packages(c("syskern", "tframe", "dse"),

Hi, As a project for a computer performance analysis paper I am taking this semester, I am going to look at the performance of the memory manager in R, with the aim of determining how fast it is and which areas most need improvement. The idea is that I will compare various versions of R, starting with 0.64.2, and then at a few stages in the implementation of the new memory management scheme (of

I've noticed that the arguments and result list of prcomp in the mva package (with 61.1) are not quite the same as in the Blue Book and in Splus. Is this intentional or can I change it? If I change it who should I send the code to? Paul Gilbert -.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.- r-devel mailing list -- Read

I have an object with an attribute "tframe" for which there is a generic method print.tframe and also a method print.tframe.default defined in a library. However, when I use attributes(object) I get the message $tframe Error: couldn't find function "print.tframe" It's as if <primitive: attributes> is not looking through the search list? Any suggestions?

While commenting out the previously mentioned warning seems to work, I have been reflecting on this problem and there seems to be an issue wrt inheritance that I do not understand properly. Perhaps some gurus could comment. As mentioned previously, I have a class "tframe" with more specific classes indicating how time is being represented, such as > class(tframe(data)) [1]

In an effort to encapsulate my dependence on class in order to deal with oldclass/class in Splus I defined the functions tfclass <- class "tfclass<-" <- function(x, value){ class(x) <- value ; x } and also the function classed <- function(x, cls) {class(x) <- cls; x} This last allows me to end a function definition with ... classed(somecalc,

It would be nice to be able to initialize the random-number generator with a single long argument; I can see that in principle this could be done by writing an access method, do_RNGinit (or whatever) for RNG_Init. I had trouble with the technical details, possibly because of long/int incompatibilities. Any chance of this happening? -- Ben Bolker

Hello out there, in their "R Complements" to Modern Applied Statistics W. Venables and B. Ripley say that there is a lack of time series related functions in R compared to S plus. Looking at CRAN I didn't find much, too. As I have to learn something about +-basic ts analysis, e.g. spectral analysis, I would like to know whether somebody has developed a "unpublished" time

I've been trying to build a bundle with the R-devel snapshot from yesterday. (Yes I know it is unstable and just tell me if I shouldn't be trying to do this yet.) It is failing with the message tar : /dev/rmt/0 : Permission denied It happens after "removing junk files" and just after the message "building dse_2000.9-1.tar.gz" It looks to be coming from the line in

I am trying to get our database interface (PADI) working with R. The code does some memory allocation and for Splus there is an ifdef which controls whether malloc or S_alloc is called. I did nm R.binary | grep alloc to see if this was supported and I find there are some choices: [2490] | 446036| 272|FUNC |GLOB |0 |7 |R_alloc [806] | 693956| 312|FUNC |LOCL |0 |7

This fairly harmless looking piece of code, which worked in 0.61 (and in S-PLUS) fails in 0.62.1. R> "mcpar<-" <- function(x,mcpar) {attr(x,"mcpar") <- mcpar; x} R> mcpar(x) <- c(1,100,1) Error in mcpar<-(*tmp*, value = c(1, 100, 1)) : unused argument to function The error message gives a hint about how to work around the problem - just replace the

Below are a few problems I have encountered with the new checks being done in R-devel. 1/ I have two generics, test.equal and test.equal.tframe. The first checks that two objects are equal while the second checks if two objects have equal tframes (time frames). There is no reason these should have similar arguments but the check seems to think that test.equal.tframe is a method for test.equal so

I'm getting a lot of warning having to do with setting graphic parameters. I don't recall actually setting any of these, so I would guess they are being set by something I am calling. Has anyone already figured out where this is happening?

I have a problem with my dynamically loaded code in R not finding pow_ii, which for some time I thought was because library f2c is not on my Sparcstation. However, I have now been experiencing the same problem in Linux, with all the proper libraries in place. My incomplete understanding of elf and shared libraries does not help, but when compiling a complete program I usually muddle through.

I'm a novice with gdb but the following is the result of a segfault problem I've been having with 1.2.0.

What is the Rd file alias and usage syntax for an S4 assignment method? I have been trying variations on \alias{TSdoc<-,default-method} \usage{ \S4method{TSdoc}{default}(x) <- value but so far I have not got it right according to various codoc, etc, checks.
