Hi all, I'm currently working on the fitdistrplus package (that basically fit distributions). There is something I do not understand about the generic function summary. In the current version on CRAN, there is no NAMESPACE saying S3method(summary, fitdist) . However if we use summary on an object send by fitdist function it works fine... According to R-lang, we have " The most

Hi, I have a problem when checking the package 'probdistr' (on probability distributions). I got this warning * checking index information ... WARNING Vignettes with missing or empty \VignetteIndexEntry: [1] "probdistr-chi" "probdistr-contextra" "probdistr-discrete" [4] "probdistr-discrextra" "probdistr-exp"

Hi all, I tried to a nice legend with small boxes filled with the colors used for the plots. But it does nor work, boxes are always filled with black. An example is here plot(1:4,1:4) lines(1:4,4:1, col="blue") legend("top",leg=c("a","b"),col=c("black","blue"), fill=TRUE) How could I specify the colors? the argument col.box is the

Hi useRs, I'm trying to fit a basic AR(2) model with the 'ar' function. And when I try to check the value of the coefficients, I could not find the same value as the 'ar' function. Here is my example: myserie <- c(212, 205, 210, 213, 217, 222, 216, 218, 220, 212, 215, 236) #plot(myserie, type="l") myserieminus0 <- tail(myserie, -2) myserieminus1 <-

Dear list, Don't you think it could be useful to have in R base a function rowCumSums, that compute cumulative sums for each row of a matrix? My implementation of rowCumSums is rowCumSums <- function(x) t(mapply(function(row)cumsum(x[row,]), 1:NROW(x))) I'm sure it can be improved to have other arguments like na.rm or dims. Is there any hope to have this function in R?

Hi all, I use the symbol functions to draw circles. But the argument lty does not work on windows but works correctly on my macbook: x <- -4:4 y <- -4:4 plot(x,y,type="n") symbols(0, 0, add = TRUE, circles = 1, inches = 1, fg="black", lty="solid") symbols(0, 0, add = TRUE, circles = 1, inches = 2, fg="black", lty="dashed") The

Dear list, The task view on optimization does not reference a package for non linear constrained optimization problems. Stefan Theussl told me to look at the Rsolnp package, but unfortunately it is not very clear what method is R ported. (The authors ported the matlab code of Yinyu Ye http://www.stanford.edu/~yyye/ <http://www.stanford.edu/%7Eyyye/>) Currently I'm looking for an

Dear useRs, I have just discovered that the R optim function does not return the number of iterations. I still wonder why line 632-634 of optim C, the iter variable is not returned (for the BFGS method for example) ? Is there any trick to compute the iteration number with function call number?

Dear list, I would like to suggest a small update the ?Distributions man page of the stats package. The current version contains the following line. The CRAN package \pkg{SuppDists} for additional distributions. I think it would be better to put in this man page a link to the CRAN task view on Distributions http://cran.r-project.org/web/views/Distributions.html. It is not true that the

Dear useRs, I was wondering how to deal with data where thousands separator is a space or a comma? with google, I thought I found the answer but the thread ( http://tolstoy.newcastle.edu.au/R/help/06/04/25524.html) just focuses on decimal separator. Is there any function to numbers written like this in a csv file? Thanks in advance Christophe -- Christophe DUTANG Ph. D. student at ISFA

Tinn-R (http://www.sciviews.org/Tinn-R/) is one of the topmost suggestions when googling an R-(text-)editor for Windows. However, to me it appears dissappointing that Tinn-R does not handle utf-8 (mac-roman, or any other) encoded R-scripts or, in general, text files. Besides Emacs and the R built-in editor, could you recommend a good editor for Windows, even some commmercial for a small

Hello, I am looking for an elegant one-liner for the following operation: x <- rnorm(10) y <- runif(10) c(mean(x)-mean(y), mean(x)+mean(y)) I thought about apply(data.frame(x, y), 2, mean) but I don't know how to apply the +- operation on the result of apply.

Hello, Vector y is an alphabetically sorted version of vector x. Will both samples, X and Y, be "absolutely" random or will they have systematic differences? And: Should I sort or shuffle a vector before sampling? Thank you, *S* x <- as.factor(LETTERS[sequence(10:1)]) y <- sort(x) X <- sample(x, 5) Y <- sample(y, 5) -- Sascha Vieweg, saschaview at gmail.com

Hi there, I have a numeric vector let say: Vect <- c(12.234, 234.5675, 1.5) Now I want a string vector like: changedVec <- c("012.234", "234.568", "001.500") Would be grateful if somebody help me how can I do that. Thanks and regards, [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Hello How can I apply functions along "layers" of a data matrix? Example: daf <- data.frame( 'id' = rep(1:5, 3), matrix(1:60, nrow=15, dimnames=list( NULL, paste('v', 1:4, sep='') )), rep = rep(1:3, each=5) ) The data frame "daf" contains 3 repetitions/layers (rep) of 4 variables of 5 persons (id). For some reason, I want to calculate

Hello, I implemented the Beta binomial distribution following the patterns of the binomial distribution code and inspired by JAGS' code [1]. I have studied the code carefully but it's my first run in the R internals. Can somebody review the code and if everything it's ok commit to the repository? [1]

Hi all, I need to transform classic 32bit Fortran code to 64bit Fortran code, see the discussion [R-SIG-Mac] rnorm.halton. But I'm clearly a beginner in Fortran... Does someone already do this for his package?

Hello Currently, I plot some coefficients with some intervals using function "plotCI()" (package "gplots") using the following code: (m1 <- matrix(0:5, nrow=2, byrow=T, dimnames=list(c("v1", "v2"), c("lo", "m", "hi")))) m2 <- m1 + 1 library(gplots) plotCI( x=1:length(m1[, 1]), pch="",
