We have a fair amount of cool westerly wind up here that I could transfer to you via WWTP (Wind and Weather Transport Protocol). If you open up a sufficiently large pipe,

I've noticed that I get a warning message every time a package masks some functions from Hmisc. The warning message says : Warning message: In identical(get(., i), get(., lib.pos)) : ignoring non-pairlist attributes This happens with eg: library(plyr) library(xtable) I think I've seen this passing by before, but I'm not sure any more. Just thought I'd mention it. Cheers Joris

Dear all, Before I file this as a bug, I wanted to check if I didn't miss something. The help page of lag() says that the function returns a time series object. It actually does return something that looks like a ts object (the attribute tsp is set). But when using a vector, the class "ts" is not added to the result: > avec <- 1:10 > lag(avec) [1] 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8

?typeof? is your friend here: > typeof(`[`) [1] "special" > typeof(mc[[1]]) [1] "symbol" > typeof(mc2[[1]]) [1] "special" so mc[[1]] is a symbol, and thus not a primitive. - Lukas > On 28 Mar 2017, at 14:46, Michael Lawrence <lawrence.michael at gene.com> wrote: > > There is a difference between the symbol and the function (primitive >

Seriously, if a method gives a wrong result, it's wrong. line() does NOT implement the algorithm of Tukey, even not after the patch. We're not discussing Excel here, are we? The method of Tukey is rather clear, and it is NOT using the default quantile definition from the quantile function. Actually, it doesn't even use quantiles to define the groups. It just says that the groups

Dear gurus, I was utterly surprised to learn that one of my examples illustrating the need of match.fun() doesn't give me the expected result. center <- function(x,FUN) FUN(x) center(1:10, mean) mean <- 4 center(1:10, mean) Used to give me the error message "could not find function FUN". Now it just works, even though I didn't expect it to. I believe this is at least

Apparently, as.POSIXlt takes one o'clock as the start of the day : > as.POSIXlt(0,origin="1970-01-01") [1] "1970-01-01 01:00:00 CET" > as.POSIXlt(0,origin="1970-01-01 00:00:00") [1] "1970-01-01 01:00:00 CET" > as.POSIXlt(0,origin="1970-01-01 23:59:59") [1] "1970-01-02 00:59:59 CET" Cheers -- Joris Meys Statistical

Dear all, I want to apply a weighted median on a huge dataset, and I remember a function from the package R.basic that could do this using an internal sorting algorithm qsort. This speeded things up quite a bit. Alas, I can't find that package anywhere anymore. There is a weighted.median function in the package limma too, but I didn't use that before. Anybody who knows what happened to

Dear all, I'm updating a package regarding a new type of models, and I'm looking to extend the formula interface with two functions (L() and R() ) for construction of these models. I want to use as much of the formula interface as possible, and hoped to do something similarly to I(). I know the I() function does nothing more than add the class "AsIs". I've been browsing the

Dear all, I run a gamm with following call : result <- try(gamm(values~ s( VM )+s( RH )+s( TT )+s( PP )+RF+weekend+s(day)+s(julday) ,correlation=corCAR1(form=~ day|month ),data=tmp) )" with mgcv version 1.6.2 No stress about the data, the error is not data-related. I get : Error in isS4(x) : object 'VM' not found What so? I did define the dataframe to be used, and the

Dear all, I initially ran into this problem while rebuilding a package dependent on nleqslv. I got the following error: Error in match.arg(global) : 'arg' must be of length 1 This didn't occur in previous versions of nleqslv, but did in the current one (2.4). I think I pinned the problem down to the following example: Take two functions: test <-

Dear, I have noticed this problem while looking at the following question on Stackoverflow : http://stackoverflow.com/questions/42894213/s4-class-subset-inheritance-with-additional-arguments While going through callNextMethod, I've noticed the following odd behaviour: mc <- call("[",iris,2,"Species") mc[[1]] ## `[` is.primitive(`[`) ## [1] TRUE

I checked after this question popped up on Stackoverflow: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/44785961/compile-pdf-in-rstudio-works-but-knit2pdf-does-not-work-in-r-or-rstudio On Windows, texi2pdf looks for the texify.exe of Miktex, but looks in a very wrong place: > Sys.which("texify") texify

OTOH, > sapply(1:9, function(i){ + sum(dfr$time <= quantile(dfr$time, 1./3., type = i)) + }) [1] 8 8 6 6 6 6 8 6 6 Only the default (type = 7) and the first two types give the result lines() gives now. I think there is plenty of reasons to give why any of the other 6 types might be better suited in Tukey's method. So to my mind, chaning the definition of line() to give sensible

I was pointed to the Cairo package for plotting PNG images on a device. I've been playing around with it, but found that after I use the rasterImage function, I can't add anything any more to the device, eg : img <- readPNG(system.file("img", "Rlogo.png", package="png")) r = as.raster(img[,,1:3]) r[img[,,4] == 0] = "white" CairoWin()

Hi all, following sample code illustrates the problem : Date1 <- Date2 <- as.POSIXlt(seq.Date(as.Date("2010-04-01"),as.Date("2011-04-01"),by='day')) identical(Date1,Date2) all.equal(Date1,Date2) identical() gives the correct answer. As there is no all.equal method for POSIXlt objects, all.equal.list is used instead. Subsetting using [[]] doesn't work

Dear dev team, I was sorry to see the announcement of Duncan about his retirement from maintaining the R Windows build and Rtools. Duncan, thank you incredibly much for your 15 years of devotion and your impressive contribution to the R community as a whole. Thinking about the future, I wondered whether there were plans for the succession of Duncan. Is it the intention to continue providing

Dear all, I have a vector, and for each element I want to check whether it is equal to any element from another vector. I want a vector of logical values with the length of the first one as return. In R this would be : > x <- 1:10 > sapply(x,function(y){any(y==c("2","3","4"))}) [1] FALSE TRUE TRUE TRUE FALSE FALSE FALSE FALSE FALSE FALSE It works pretty
