Dear list, For the maintainer of a given package, is it possible to change the licence of a it from GPL >= 2 to GPL >= 3 ?

Dear List, Recently I got the comment that the implementation of the random number generator used by default in R (Mersenne-Twister) could not be "safe" for 64-bits machines, so I decided to put the question here because I do not have expertise in that topic, and because this question could be "too technical for R-help's audience". I apologise if this is not the case.

Dear list members, Within a loop, I need to create an xyplot with only a legend, not even with the default external box drawn by lattice. I already managed to remove the axis labels and tick marks, but I couldn't find in the documentation of xyplot how to remove the external box. I would really appreciate any help with this ------------- START ----------- library(lattice) x<-1:100

Dear list, I have a question related to the correct interpretation of the relative convergence criterion used by 'optim'. In the help of the function is it written that: "reltol:Relative convergence tolerance. The algorithm stops if it is unable to reduce the value by a factor of reltol * (abs(val) + reltol) at a step." and I was wondering if the previous criterion is

Dear List, While trying to define a customised CITATION file for a package, following R-exts, I realised that if I use only one 'citEntry' I got both a text description and a BibTex entry for the package, as for the 'nlme' package: -------------------------- citation('nlme') To cite package 'nlme' in publications use: Jose Pinheiro, Douglas Bates, Saikat

Dear list, For the implementation of a particular optimization algorithm it is very important the random number generator. I would like to know if somebody could tell me what is the random number generator used by default in the 'runif' function. >From the help page of 'runif' and '.Random.seed' I guess that the default algorithm is 'Mersenne-Twister', but I

Dear R developers, Taking advantage of the yesterday discussion about the use of Depends/Import/Suggests/Enhances, I would like to add a related question. Let's assume, in the DESCRIPTION file of my package foo0, I have: Depends: foo1 Imports: foo2 while in the NAMESPACE file of my package I have importFrom("foo2", f2) and within my package I use the following two external

Dear R developers, Due to the increasing use R in hydrology and other close-related environmental sciences, I would like to ask if it would be possible to create a new Special Interest Group mailing list, called 'R-sig-hydro', specially devoted those topics. If possible to do so, I'd offer myself to maintain such mailing list (if needed). Thanks in advance, Mauricio

Dear List, While using the --as-cran option for checking one of my packages: R CMD check --as-cran hydroGOF_0.3-3.tar.gz I got the following error message: pkgname <- "hydroGOF" > source(file.path(R.home("share"), "R", "examples-header.R")) > options(warn = 1) > library('hydroGOF') Error in loadNamespace(i[[1L]], c(lib.loc,

This is the first time that I have tried to update packages with a tinkered around with .Rprofile. I start R with R --vanilla and it does not load my .Rprofile, but when I issue the command update.packages() R downloads the packages as expected, but then seems to load .Rprofile before compiling the packages sources. What am I doing wrong? kindest regards, Stephen Sefick see- Session info

Dear R and hydrological/environmental community, I would like to draw your attention to hydroPSO, a newly developed R package for the calibration/optimisation of (complex) environmental models. hydroPSO implements a state-of-the-art Particle Swarm Optimisation (PSO) algorithm, which is a global optimisation technique with a surge of attention given its flexibility, ease of implementation and

Hi R-user, I was trying to make a raster map with WGS84 projection in R, but I could not make it. I found one data set in Google that data is almost the same format as of mine. I wanted to make a raster map of temperature with 1 degree spatial resolution for the global scale. I could make it in GIS software but I do have many variables (to be many raster images) and ultimately I am importing them

Dear R-users, I was able to make ROracle package to connect to the DB (Oracle91, 64bit, on Solaris). But after executing siple SQL query, "fetch" commaned gives me an empty dataframe. ### RORACLE INSTALATION PROCEDURE ### R CMD INSTALL --configure-args='--enable-extralibs' --enable-oracle32=no ~/tmp/ROracle_0.5-5.tar.gz #since we have 64bit Oracle9i instalation PROBLEM:

Dear R-users, In order to use ROracle (v. 0.5-5) package I compiled R-1.9.1 on Linux (2.4.20-28.9smp) and installed it. I need to use Oracle9i on Solaris. When executing "library(ROracle)" I got the following error message: > library(ROracle) Error in dyn.load(x, as.logical(local), as.logical(now)) : unable to load shared library

Dear R users, I would like to draw your attention to 'cec2013', a new package providing R wrappers for the 28 benchmark functions defined in the Special Session and Competition on Real-Parameter Single Objective Optimization at CEC-2013 (http://www.cec2013.org/). The focus of this package is to provide an open-source and multi-platform implementation of the CEC2013 benchmark functions,
