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

"[<-" in R 0.63 does not appear to strip attributes, whereas Splus and previous versions of R did. Paul _____ R 0.63: > data <- matrix(rnorm(300),100,3) > attr(data, "tframe") <- c(1981.50, 2006.25 , 4.00) > attributes(data) $dim [1] 100 3 $tframe [1] 1981.50 2006.25 4.00 > z <- data[10:90,] > attributes(z) $dim [1] 81 3 $tframe [1]

In R 0.63 RINSTALL of a package with documentation still appears to clobber R/doc/html/function.html and R/doc/html/packages.html so the main help is no longer available to a user once a package is installed. I know how to work around this for my own purposes, but I hesitate to release a package that would do this to some unsuspecting user. Paul Gilbert

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,

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

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

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.

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 just tried to load r-devel (using rsync -r rsync.r-project.org::r-devel) and I get "operation not permitted" when I try ./configure. It appears the permissions and sticky bits are messed up again.

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.

I am occasional getting "Segmentation Fault - core dumped" in R 0.62.3 (I think more often then I did in 0.62.2). I have not been able to do this in any reliably reproducible way yet, but thought I would mention the problem in case some else can isolate it.

The "data index" is mentioned in the R Extensions Writer guide as >> The subdirectory should contain a `00Index' file >> that describes the datasets available. I'm not sure what the official format is suppose to be, but given that it displays like an index, this has to be a very short description which I find somewhat inadequate. Some of my data sets are multivariate

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
