I've just gotten through translating my notes for the course in basic statistics for health researchers. I've placed a copy on ftp://blueberry.kubism.ku.dk/priv/R-intro.tgz This is essentially a translation of the Danish notes that I wrote during the Autumn of 1997 for use with Rsept, i.e. roughly R v.50. They lean heavily on the textbook, Altman: Practical Statistics for Medical

It has been annoying me for a while that data in user areas are more difficult to handle than those in the packages. Especially for beginners, it would be very handy to be able just to say "data(mydata)", rather than "mydata<-read.table('mydata.txt',header=T)" What just occurred to me was that the following hack actually works: Type

R-1.8.1 has now reached the beta stage with one week left before release. This just to remind you that this would be a good time to give the new version a spin and see whether your favourite bugs have been cleared out. -p -- O__ ---- Peter Dalgaard Blegdamsvej 3 c/ /'_ --- Dept. of Biostatistics 2200 Cph.

I've put up R-0.63.2.tgz up for FTP from Auckland some minutes ago. As usual, don't get it from there unless you are desperate, but wait for it to be mirrored at a CRAN site near you within a day or two. For those who *are* desperate, I've left a copy in ftp://blueberry.kubism.ku.dk/pub/R-devel/R-0.63.2.tgz (Be gentle, that's my desktop PC!) There's also a version split in

We plan to a patch release on Nov.15 to fix up various problems that cropped up after the release of R 2.0.0. Daily beta snapshots will be made available until the day of release. Please check if your favourite bugs have been fixed (but notice that since we try hard to keep the patch versions stable, some items may have to wait for the 2.1 release.) Also, please help us with platform testing.

R-0.61.2.tgz is now available from the Auckland FTP site, from where it should spread to the CRAN sites during the next day or two. Unless you're in a big hurry or actually living in New Zealand, please don't get it from Auckland. There is also an R-0.61.1-0.61.2.diff.gz which can be used to patch an existing R-0.61.1. Instructions for patching are in the VERSION file in same directory.

I have committed a set of changes to the tcltk package for R-1.8.0. The most important changes are 1) Support for Tcl arrays, which should come in handy for people playing with things like the tkTable extension. Basically these work like tclVar objects but can be subscripted (notice that these beasts are associative - like a Perl hash - rather than objects of set dimensions). Basic

As of 19:00 GMT we'll declare a feature freeze on the set of recommended packages. We will then have one week to ferret out as many problems as we can before final code freeze and platform testing. At the same time R-base is code-frozen, i.e. only critical bugs will be fixed. If you want to help making R 1.5.0 as bug-free as possible, it could be a good idea to install the set of

I've rolled up R-0.64.2.tgz a moment ago. However, due to a configuration error with the new machine at Auckland, it is not up for FTP from there just yet. In any case, you shouldn't get it from Auckland, but wait for it to be mirrored at a CRAN site near you within a day or two. For those who are too curious to wait, I've put a copy in
